When they get to Calcenon City, they are surprised to see Julia and Amaria also there. After greeting them, they also get to find Hardy there.
Hardy: Yo. I dunno what our next move is gonna be, but my gut says it's gonna be big. You itchin' to kick Team Meteor down as much as I am, mate?
Ash: You bet.
Hardy: That's what I like to hear! They ain't gonna see a single thing comin'! Let's stick it to Meteor once and for all!
Just then, Bennett, Laura, and Saphira are also here, and Saphira is holding an unconscious Zero on her back. Ash is confused as to why Bennett is here, since the last time he met, he knows that Bennett is with Team Meteor.
Bennett: It is not a "risk" to unhand me, woman! As I've already said, I will follow you voluntarily.
Saphira: No chances.
Laura: Saphira, please! He's not a bad person!
Saphira: Oh, so that's why he's been with Team Meteor all this time. You. Catch.
Saphira suddenly throws Zero at Ash, who barely catches it and falls to the ground.
Saphira: Nice catch.
Hardy: Wot, you meant me?
Serena: Ash, are you okay?
Ash: I'm fine...
Saphira: (Turns to Bennett) You, however... You and I have business.
Bennett: Enough already. You know rough-handling a compliant captive is a solid way to jeopardize that compliance.
Saphira: It's not the only thing I'll jeopardize if you don't start talking.
Bennett: I've been talking. You haven't been listening.
Saphira: I didn't like what you had to say.
Bennett: You didn't like me saying I've left Team Meteor behind?
Saphira: I didn't believe you.
Bennett: If you won't believe me anyway, then there's no point in us talking.
Saphira: The right circumstances can breed honesty. You'll tell us the truth or your comrade's injuries will be on your hands.
Bennett: Firstly, no. No matter what you say, I'm not responsible for whatever you choose to do to him. Secondly, if you listened to what both your sister and I have already explained to you, you'd know that he's no longer my comrade. Frankly, and not that any of this is necessary, you'd have better luck forcing answers out of me by threatening your sister instead. (Being hit by Saphira to the head)
Laura: Saphira!
Hardy: Whoa there, you don't have to hit the guy.
Saphira: Don't you dare presume that I would ever do anything to hurt my sisters.
Bennett: You sure don't seem to think twice about anyone else.
Saphira: I'm not surprised to learn that loyalty is a foreign concept to you.
Bennett: And I, discretion, to you.
Laura: Enough! (Steps in front of Saphira)
