Morning rise. Olley fell asleep on the computer while waiting for the others. She woke up from Lighty next to her, beeping. She suddenly remember about the rest. They still haven't return... It made her worried sick. Abel and Max also woke up and seeing Olley panicking already made them remember about the rest still not returning.

Abel: H-Hang on... Are the others still not returned yet?

Olley: N-No...! This... This is bad!

She starts to desperately search for their current location since the last time she searched, they lost the signal and due to the time of night, they got really sleepy during that. She tries again to no avail. The three are in a state of panic.

Max: No... no, no, no, no! There's n-no way! They can't just disappear like that!

Abel: Oh, good lord... What if Briant finally manage to get them...? What if he's already doing something to them?! 

Olley: Ugh! I wish they didn't!

Lighty starts the radio in its audio, going like this...

News reporter starts to talk;

"Recently, commotion has been heard since 12:30 midnight where loud thuds and clanking metal were heard at that time. Witnesses who're awake during that time were in a worried and anxious state when we first interviewed them, claiming On Command was defeated as they saw the whole fight unfolded. Police investigate the scene of the fight the interviewers claimed they watched. There, they found a sword belonged to On Command's sword fighter, the Cold Slayer. There's also the Ink Punisher's brush and the mask of The Wolf. With this, it's concluded to the police... On Command has been defeated... Briant... Finally won... Our heroes are gone... There aren't any signs of them after that. The robots seemed to be powerful enough to defeat them... Is there anything we can do to get rid of this monster without them...?"

The news ended as Lighty beeps. Even the little AI robot couldn't imagine losing them. The three's hearts froze in fear and broken-hearted.

Abel: O-On Command...

Max: Defeated...?

Olley: N-No... No...!

Olley cried to the heartbreaking defeat... Faith was also included in this defeat of On Command. Max and Abel stood there with their fearful faces still present, wondering how their life will go without them. This will affect their band, their companionship, their mental state, their family. This'll also affect their own families if they find out. Finally, Max stood up and stomped the floor as his tears are present behind his shades.

Max: No, we aren't gonna let that slide! There's no way they're gone! They should be still alive! I know it!

Abel: I may have believed so, too, but his robots... If they become better than before, then there's no way we can save them even if we know they're alive.

Max: Come on, man. It's worth the try! They're our family and if there's one thing I know, if they don't give up on us, we ain't giving up on them!

Abel: Dude...

Max looks at Olley still crying as she stares at the floor. Max wipes his tears off and approaches her and offers her his hand. He shows a confident smile, one similar to CJ.

Max: We won't know if they really are gone unless we try. We're gonna save them.

Olley looks at him with surprise as she looks towards Abel. Abel thinks and shows signs of agreement with Max's decision to save them as he nods. Olley doesn't want to lose them, so she accepts Max's hand.

Olley: You aren't wrong... We can still save them. We just need to avoid direct combat to his new robots...

Max: I'm not sure if you remember, but...
