After getting back to Julia and Florinia, Florinia hasn't opened the gate just yet.
Ash: Hey, Julia! We got what you needed.
Julia: (Delighted to see the bombs) Boomies! Beautiful, bombastic boomies! (Looks at them) Ooo, Verdignite! This stuff is fun.
Fern: What, you know the specific type of explosive?
Julia: Uhhhhhhh, obviously! It's named for its green color, but it's unique cuz the internal chemicals react as they oxidize! In other words, all you gotta do to make it shake its stuff is break open the plastic casing!
Ash: (Relieved) Glad I didn't drop it on the way over here...
Julia: (Pulls out the plastic casing and throws it on the ground) Okay, let's do this!
Ash and Fern quickly rush behind Julia as the bomb is on a countdown.
Julia: Okay! Three... Two... Kaaaaaaa...
At the last second, the gate suddenly goes upwards into the ceiling. Ash turns to see Florinia already opens the gate through hacking.
Florinia: Secondary firewall overrode in line with secondary security failure. Access granted.
Julia: But the-
The bomb also explodes, and all four of them manage to duck out of the way without any serious injuries.
Julia: (Disappointed) ...Well, okay. Not that there was nothing to even blow up anymore, buuuuuut I'll take it!
Florinia: Your penchant for wanton destruction remains decidedly superfluous.
Julia: You're right, it IS super! And now we charge ever-forward! Goooooo team! (Rushes three steps and stops) ...But like, our team. Not Team Meteor. Go!
Florinia: Indeed. (Leaves)
Fern: (Sighs) Pretty sure Julia should've been arrested a long time ago. Whatever, let's get a move on it.
Ash doesn't say anything, but he finds it rather cute for Julia to do it.
When they enter the room, they find four people inside. One of them seems to be the commander, as he is wearing a black outfit.
Julia: You! Are you the one in charge here?
Black-Suited man: And if I am?
Julia: We're gonna blow your face off for what you did to Grandview Station!
Black-Suited man: (Stares at them) Amusing. Tell me, what power do you think you have to do so? Two among you are Leaders of the league, sure. A considerable obstacle, yet hardly much concern. Two others, mere smoke in the wind.
Ash: (Rolls his eyes) Oh yeah, and just who do you think you are, anyway?!
Black-Suited man: You know already. We are Team Meteor. Though few know it, we are keepers of history. Shepherds of the region.
Fern: Some "shepherds" you are. We kicked your whole base in already!
Black-Suited man: Pat yourself on the back as much as you'd like, but we never had any reason to stop you. Like a toddler who will kick, scream and cry themselves to eventual sleep, you've been allowed to do as you pleased. Our purpose here was forfeit already. Your city has been watched for quite some time.
