Ben strode into the interrogation room, expecting to see Ray still bound to the chair, but his steps halted abruptly when he found the room empty. The restraints were dangling loosely, and Ray was gone.
Ben's eyes widened.
Ben: "No way..."
He quickly tapped his communicator.
Ben: "Gwen, Kevin! Hes gone!"
A static-filled reply came through from Gwen.
Gwen: "What? How could he escape? The whole building's locked down."
Ben's mind raced as he scanned the room, his gaze flicking over every corner for clues. No sign of forced entry or any tampering with the restraints. Ray had somehow slipped through without setting off alarms.
Ben: "I don't know, but I'm not wasting time."
Without hesitating, Ben slammed down on the Omnitrix dial. A flash of green light engulfed him as his form shifted, his body stretching out and changing. Within seconds, he stood in the sleek, red-and-black alien body of Jetray, his wings extending out in a wide span.

Jetray pushed his speed to the max, bursting outside and into the open air. His glowing green eyes scanned the landscape below, searching for anything that could lead him to Ray. His mind raced. Ray couldn't have gotten far. But how had he slipped past all the security measures? No one even knew his name, let alone how dangerous he really was with that modified Ultimatrix.
Jetray flew in wide arcs, trying to pick up any sign of movement. Then, off in the distance, a flash of light caught his eye too quick to be anything ordinary. His keen eyes focused in on it.
Jetray: "Got you."
With a powerful flap of his wings, Jetray darted forward, closing the distance in seconds. Jetray swooped down, his wings cutting through the air with precision. He fired a quick burst of neuroshock energy towards the ground ahead of the figure, forcing him to stop.
