Hop's phone was ringing.
"Hey Hop. That your phone ringing?," Victor asked.
The three of you all stood around him watching as Hop fumbled to pull it out and rushed to turn it on. Asking. "H-Hello?"
A familiar voice you all knew greeted you in a panic. "HOP!?"
"Sonia?," Hop asked back confused. "What's up?"
"We've got trouble!," her voice came through panicked and fast. "Those two weirdos showed up at the lab!"
"WHAT!?," Hop yelled and the four of you froze in horror at the news. "Sonia, are you alright!?"
"They keep rudely demanding I hand over the Wishing Stars! I'm all right for now but get over here quick! Ok!? These guys are right creepy!" And with that Sonia hung up in a hurry leaving the four of you standing in shock for a moment.
"....What're those two doin' goin' after Wishin' Stars?" Piers asked breaking the silence.
"We've got to help Sonia and get back the shield!" Victor yelped as Hop suddenly grabbed his arm ad began yanking him towards the door and back towards the flying taxi outside. "C'mon! Let's hurry to the lab!"
Before either you or Piers could say something Hop was already out the door with Victor hanging onto his beanie being dragged by him. And sighed. "He really doesn't think anythin' through. Sure does make him seem a proper fool. ...Nah. Guess the word would be wreckless." He shook his head looking to you in question. "We're headed to Sunny's lab next, right?"
And you blinked surprised. "Are you sure? I thought you said you were gonna head back to Spikemuth after we got done here in Motostoke."
He again looked at you for a moment before looking away with his hand reaching up to fiddle with his choker. "Well....I still haven't had a chance ta teach those upstaging punks a lesson. Plus ya seem like you might need help keepin' an eye on those two troublemakers. So...Guess I'll stick by you 'til we see this though."
You sighed in relief. For some reason the knowledge of Piers helping you out with the rest of this seemed to calm you as you nodded to him. "Right. That sounded pretty important. We'd better get over there fast and see what's up!"
With a nod from Piers the two of you made out of the stadium and back towards the taxi before getting in and taking off towards Postwick.
-Small Time Skip-
You were all too late. You all realized that the moment you all had banged on the laboratory door and it was answered by Ms. Magnolia and when you all looked past her...There was Sonia sadly slumped against a table surrounded by piles of papers. She didn't even look up at you all when her grandmother answered the door. Which answered any and all questions you had about it. Oh no. After traveling my flying taxi as fast as you all could all the way over here and rushing to the lab...you were too late. Magnolia gave you all a sad look and simply shook her head when you all just silently looked at her. That was an enough answer for you to know that it was already too late. Sonia looked so sad. Maybe you should go try to comfort her- You froze. Something grabbed your shoulder as you made a move to walk past Magnolia and you turned to Piers who had a somber look on his face. He tugged on you to pull you away a bit.
