Warren & Hypno Sitting in A Tree: Part 2

Aria's POV:

Warren approaches Draxum, Hugin & Munin as they have Hypno tied up in a vine with tape over his mouth. Meanwhile, the guys, April, & I are sitting atop a shipping crate as the meeting place they chose was down by the docks.

Warren: "Tonight's top story: I'm here to make your trade, Draxum."

Leo starts sliding down on a zip-line as Draxum responds.

Draxum: "Good. Now hand over the gauntlet."

Hypno: *muffled* "It's a trap."

Warren: "I love you too.-*to Draxum*-We could do that, or I could make you an even sweeter offer."

Huginn: "Ooh, like what?"

Muninn: "A lifetime supply of gum?"

Warren: "No. How about your mutant loser turtles? I brought them right here."

Warren points upwards towards us, giving away our position, which was not part of the plan.

Donnie: "Wait, did he just give us up?"

Warren uses his gauntlet to blast us off the crate and onto the ground.

Leo: "Betrayal!"

Draxum creates a cage made of vines to surround us.

Leo: "I feel like we should've seen that coming."

April: "How could you do this? And on my birthday. I was the vice president of the Stoneheads."

Warren: "And he thanks you for your service."

Draxum: *chuckles* "Whoa. You drive a hard bargain. But it's a deal."

Huginn & Muninn release Hypno from the vine as Warren leaps to hug him.

Warren: "Tonight's headline: best friends reunited and it feels-"

Hypno: "I'm so sorry. It was the only way he'd let you live. Mezmeroo!"

Warren enters a hypnotized state as Hypno gently places him on the ground.

Hypno: "Oh, give them the gauntlet, my golden voiced amigo."

Leo watches with a smile as Warren slowly walks toward Draxum.

Leo: "Oh, man, a double betrayal. Did not see that coming."

Hypno: *to Draxum* "You get the gauntlet, the turtles, & the girl, and Warren lives. That was our deal, right?"

Draxum: "Yeah, no. I lied."

Draxum ties Hypno in vines again.

Leo: "Triple betrayal! Everybody's on fire tonight."

Draxum uses a giant vine to lift our vine-based cage off the ground.

Hypno: "But you said-you promised."

Draxum: "Only a true genius could choreograph this many betrayals and double-crosses."

Muninn: "I mean, it was a total team effort."

Huginn: "I am blushing."

Draxum: "I was talking about me, idiots! Now, time to do some light removing of one thing attached to another thing."
