Logan continued on his way to the Atlas Kingdom by road. It was starting to turn dark but Logan kept driving. He checked on the gas tank. It was half full. "Five more minutes," said Logan to himself. "I'll stop, refill the tank, turn off the Jeep, and get some rest." As Logan kept driving, he briefly turned to glance at a picture of him and Yang smiling at the prom dance on the dashboard. Logan sadly smiled as he wondered how Yang was doing. He focused back on the road.

A dinosaur like Grimm saw Logan's Jeep and began to follow it.

Just when Logan was about to stop the Jeep, he felt thunderous footsteps on the ground. "Please be a small earthquake," groaned Logan to himself. Then he heard a roar. Logan spun around to see the dinosaur Grimm running after him. Logan stamps his foot as he cursed, "Shit!" He switched the ignition switch to drive and slammed the gas pedal. The Grimm kept chasing the speeding Jeep. "Jennifer is going to grow a massive fit if her Jeep gets smashed," growled Logan to himself. He swerved into a turn as the Grimm slid to the side but kept following him. The Grimm chomped its jaws at one side and Logan sped up. "Some people just can't take a hint," muttered Logan. He stuck out his hand and gave the Grimm the middle finger. Even more enraged, the Grimm chomped to the other side as Logan swerved the Jeep away. Logan grabbed the intercom as he shouted, "Hello?! I got a fucking T-Rex with a Grimm mask chasing me! Help!" The Grimm roared as Logan kept driving faster and faster. Then he heard a jet noise flew around and blasted the Grimm away. The creature landed on its side as Logan drove the Jeep behind a bunker. He climbed out to see who was in the jet. Two people jumped down with weapons raised. It was Winter Schnee, Flynt Coal, and Neon Katt. Logan got out of the Jeep as he began to watch the fight. Winter summoned glyphs for Neon to run under the Grimm T-Rex and hit its legs. Flynt multiplied himself into several copies as they blew each of their trumpets at the Grimm dinosaur. Logan then smelled something nasty near the Jeep. He turned to see that it was a pack of Moloids, yellow skinned mole like creatures with a carnivorous appetite. They snarled as Logan grabbed a nearby stick with a pointed edge. "Go to hell, you little freaks!" yelled Logan. He began swinging his stick at the Moloids. "Where is Logan, man?" asked Flynt. "He should be helping us!" Winter looked to see Logan fighting against the Moloids as she replied, "Seems that he has his own problems to deal with." Neon commented, "Yucky creatures." The Grimm dinosaur roared as Flynt blew out another sound wave with his trumpet stunning it. Winter then summoned a glyph that propelled her toward the Grimm dinosaur's heart and impaled straight through it. The Grimm dinosaur fell down dead.

One Moloid jumped toward the Jeep as Logan swung it away with his strange yellow bloodied stick. Neon ran to join Logan as she roller skated around him and the Jeep in a bright rainbow which made the Moloids retreat underground. Logan breathed exhausted as he drop the stick and leaned against the Jeep. "I don't know how you found me, but thanks," said Logan. Neon nodded, "You're welcome." Flynt and Winter came to the scene. He frowned, "Dude, for someone who's supposed to be the most dangerous guy alive, you sure know how to run away when things get tough! I mean, you could've taken that dino easy without our help!" Winter started, "Flynt..." Logan snarled, "Well, I didn't ask to become Dino Food, and I had to defend the rental Jeep from the yellow freaks! How else am I going to pay my overdue rent?" Flynt shot back, "Rent? That is what this is all about?! Our boy Wraith would want you continue fighting for the greater good! Instead you look like shit and you run away from the fight!" Logan slammed his fist on the roof of the Jeep and exploded, "DON'T YOU TALK TO ME ABOUT WRAITH!!!!" Flynt shut his mouth as Logan looked down as he said, "John Wraith was my best friend. He made me his son's godfather before Victor pulled out his spine. Much like how he made me Kurt's godfather in the other future." Logan looked up to see Flynt, Neon, and Winter as he continued, "I never asked for what happened six months ago. Penny never asked for this, Wraith never asked for this, and Pyrrha never asked for this. And they SIX FUCKING FEET UNDER THE GROUND!!! I don't know what anybody has ever told you about me, I'm not whatever it is you think I am. Bad shit happens to people I care about. Don't you even understand that? I just want whatever chunk of peace I can get in this fucking fallen world." Winter nodded, "I can completely understand that." Logan sighed as Flynt apologized, "Sorry, man. I still miss my man Wraith. He was like a brother to me." Neon nodded as she held Logan's hand. "Need help going to Atlas?" asked Neon. Logan nodded as Winter said, "The Playground jet is able to carry your Jeep and us to Atlas in a matter of time." Logan said, "I thought all means of flight were busy." Winter replied, "This jet is used in case of emergencies for survivors or wounded." Logan asked confused, "Why call it the 'Playground'?" Neon answered, "I came up with the name!" Logan sighed, "Of course you did."

The Playground landed on an airport and Logan drove the Jeep away as he went on his way to the Schnee Family Home.
