"We can't track Red or Blue anymore. Their equipment was found outside the city." Other Chosen reported, a few guards at his sides.

"Of course.. Of course..." _nala was pacing around his dining room.

"I should have been prepared for them to do something like. I just didn't prepare for Second to so suddenly reappear.." _nala thought out loud. "..hm. What were they even doing in the Control Center?"

"From the reports, they were contacting their other members."

"Can we track them?"

"We tried, their defenses are strong, though, we couldn't make it through." Another guard spoke up.

_nala sighed in aggravation. "If I could hack government agencies alone, on a crappy laptop that I thrifted with college wifi and no firewall, then WHY can you INCOMPETENT IDIOTS not TRACK A COMPUTER?!" He yelled back at all of them. All of the guards flinched under his voice and gaze.

"This whole thing could have been over! But no! You all let them get away." He looked down, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"W-W-Well.. Nal- Sir.. there is one lead we can follow." Other Chosen's voice was barely above a whisper.

_nala looked back up. "It better be a good one."

He walked closer. "You see, before all this, our guards caught someone who was trying to seek out The Resistance. He belonged to somewhere called Rocket Corp. We've caught a few of their previous members and made them our own, but he got out while the Resistance was snooping around. They went with them and were also spotted when they sent that message."

"So?"

"If he went with them back home, he made contact and maintain contact with The Resistance. We know where Rocket Corp is. They weren't hard to find.. so if we can capture them and use them to get dirt on The Resistance..." Other Chosen smiled and waited for _nala.

"..we can find their location!" That immediately improved his mood. "Chosen. You know there's a clear reason why you're my favorite." He placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Well duh."

"Tell our online guards to start seizing Rocket Corp immediately. Time is precious."

"Yes sir!" Other Chosen rushed off.

"The rest of you are dismissed."

Once everyone was gone, _nala simply took a moment to himself, pulling out and sitting in a dining room chair.

The Resistance was back. It didn't seem like a big deal at first, but now that Other Second was back, this problem was getting worse. He needed to eliminate all of them before this situation escaped his control. If it did, he could lose everything again.

That simply wasn't allowed.

Every now and again, he thought about something strange. A time where he lost the Battle of Stick City. Where he never gained the power he has now. He couldn't help but wonder, would he be happier?
