The rubble of Toews's dining room settles, creating shifting and clanking noises. The golden sparks from Reid's energy continue drifting through the wind, slowly fading.

A hand flies into the air from planks of wood, reaching out into the night sky. It then slams down on the planks and pulls the rest of its body up into view.

"Oh my Bubbys!" Sidney exclaims, lying flat on his torso against the planks. "Whatta blow!"

Jonathan instantly sits upright from the other side of the destruction, rubble falling off from his matted dark hair. "I did NOT see that coming."

Nearby Sidney, Katie lifts herself to a sitting position, her clothes stained with dirt. She runs her fingers through her tangled hair as she peers at her surroundings. "Is all and sundry safe and sound?"

Jake instantly pops into view from the other end of the wreckage with panic written all over his face. "BRETT! BRETT! BRETT!" He dives into the debris, swiftly coming back up with Brett in his arms. "OH BRETT, ARE YOU OKAY?!"

Brett furrows his eyebrows at him. "Yes, I'm fine, Jake Dog." He brushes pebbles from his hair. "Thank you."

The goalie lets out a sigh of relief. "Oh, thank goodness!" He pulls Brett into a massive hug with a full, closed smile against his bestie's head.

Ryan has his legs sprinkled with stone as he gazes down at the rubble in a panic. "Wait, where's my phone? Where's my phone?"

Matt pops up next to him, his hair appearing the same. "We gotta make sure everyone else is okay!"

The goalie grabs onto his shoulders. "But I need my phone for my music!"

He immediately shrinks. "Okay, I'll help you look for your phone," he squeaks out.

Dru is sitting on chunks of concrete, redoing her ponytail. "I never knew that kid had it in him."

Toews, who is now sitting by Sidney, dusts his shirt off. "Yup. That's a super form for you."

Kailer is perched across Toews with John next to him. He wipes soot from his sleeves. "I surmised exclusively Connor and his assistants possessed the capacity of super form."

"That's what I surmised too." Toews gazes at him. "But then Connor realized that Reid really wanted to join him, so he right then and there gave him that ability."

Emily has a slight frown at Toews from Katie's side with her blonde hair disheveled. "I guess the Dukester is gone then."

Toews nods his head with a sorrowful expression. "Yup. He had enough of all this."

"Clague must've pulled his last straw," Kailer suggests sophisticatedly, brushing his fingers through his hair.

"To blast him like that, yeah!" Emily exclaims with wide eyes filled with shock.

John furrows his eyebrows at Sidney. "What are the whereabouts of that juvenile?"

Instantly, Jake peers down, sniffing multiple times at the rubble. He cranes his head toward his left, causing Brett to climb off from his arms to give him the mobility to search.

Jake rolls over onto his hands and knees, smelling a large slab of rock below him. He then straightens up in alarm and quickly tosses the slab to aside.

"Whoa!" Jonathan swiftly creates a forcefield around him, deflecting the slab's path to launch over him after colliding with its energized surface. "Watch it!"

Brett turns to his knees and peers down at what his bestie is staring at.

Poking out from the mass of rubble is unmistakably Kale's voluminous hair.
