When Wolf returns to the hideout, he notices that Piranha has woke up!

"Piranha, you're awake! How are you feeling?" Wolf asks.

"Not bad Hermano, but my head doesn't feel the greatest." Pirahna says.

"Do you need me to get you anything?" Wolf asks.

"I'm alright, thanks. Shark already gave me some painkillers before he went to bed." Pirahna says.

"That's good. I see everyone else is asleep apparently as well." Wolf chuckles.

"Yeah, you were gone for a long time man." Piranha says.

"Really? That's weird, it didn't seem that long to me." Wolf wonders.

"I guess time flies by faster when you're doing something crazy, hehe." Pirahna laughs.

"Heh, it was crazy all right." Wolf agrees with a chuckle.

"What happened out there anyway?" Piranha asks.

"Eh, I think it's best if I wait until the others are awake. Besides, I could use some sleep myself." Wolf sighs.

"Yeah, I should probably get some rest as well. Good night bro." Pirahna says.

"Good night." Wolf responds, then heads to his room.

The next morning, everyone is gathered by the couch, talking about what's next. Wolf had already explained everything that went down.

"What? That crazy lady almost chopped your head off?" Snake asks in disgust.

"Yeah, more than once. She's... really pissed. Not that it's any surprise, but still. It's different actually experiencing it." Wolf says.

"So true." Shark agrees with a shudder.

"So what are we gonna do about all this? We can't let her kill Wolf!" Webs says.

"Of course not! Which is why we're going to have to kill her." Snake says.

"Woah! Easy Snakey, let's not get too hasty!" Wolf protests.

"Damn it Wolf! You're being too soft! You need to harden up in order to survive! It's the only way." Snake argues.

"He's right Hermano. We know you don't want to kill her, hell, none of us are killers in general. But this is the only way." Piranha states in agreement.

"That's true. I mean, come on Wolfie, it's not like we can convince her to change her mind about killing you in revenge. I know I wouldn't if I was in her situation." Webs says.

"Me neither." Shark says.

"Alright, so I guess it's settled. She has to die." Wolf says with a sigh.

Snake pats Wolf on the back. "I know you didn't want this, but it's good that you came around."

"Well, we don't really have a choice I guess." Wolf shrugs.

"That's right, we don't. Only question is, how are we gonna kill someone like her anyway?" Webs asks.

"I think the five of us together should be able to handle it." Shark suggests.

"That's true, me and you held our own against her, and Wolf even managed to injure her by himself. I don't think she stands a chance with all of us combined." Piranha says.

"Pfft, what could I do?" Webs asks.

"You could bite her. You have venom don't you?" Wolf asks.

"Well, yeah, but I don't think it would be powerful enough to make much difference. Besides, we have a much better venomous option right here in this room." Webs says, while looking at Snake.

"I wish, but sadly I'm not venomous. I could strangle her though. Wrap her in my coils so she's helpless to stop the attacks from you guys." Snake says.

"I'm getting excited just thinking about it!" Piranha chuckles, while cracking his knuckles.

"Easy there, little buddy. We can't be too overconfident. Even with all of us there, we shouldn't underestimate her." Wolf warns.

"Agreed. We need to be smart about this." Snake says.

"I could hack into her electronics and render them all useless, but that's about it..." Webs sighs.

"No, no, that's fine! That should be more than enough. The rest of us can handle it from there... I hope." Wolf chuckles nervously.

Meanwhile, in an unknown hideout, Kim is seen getting patched up by a mysterious figure.

"Shit Kimmy, you got hurt real bad!" The figure says.

"Damn it, I told you not to call me that!" Kim grumbles.

"Okay, okay, I won't. It's a good thing you came to me when you did, otherwise you'd have been in serious danger. The wound would've gotten infected." The figures says.

"I've survived worse." Kim says simply.

"Oh, I don't doubt that. Hell, I've seen some of the shit you've been through! Still, though. Just don't be too reckless okay?" The figure recommends.

"Yeah, I got it. Look, I need to ask you something." Kim says.

"Of course, anything. What is it?" The figure asks.

"Will you help me get my revenge? I now realize I can't do this by myself... they're too strong. Especially that damn wolf." Kim sighs.

"Girl you already know my answer. Of course I'll help you. I loved Shane as if he was my own brother, I'll help you right that wrong." The figure says.

"Thanks Keanu, I knew I could count on you." Kim says.
