Meanwhile...

CJ: "(laughing) What the fuck?!"

The tools division of heroes is strolling down aisles with screws of varying sizes, nails, hammers, drills, amongst a few other things.

Max: "(annoyed) Seriously CJ? Can you keep your head in one fucking place?"

CJ: "No."

Connor: "Relax Max. Heh, that rhymed."

They just grabbed some bolts and wrenches.

Rose: "We're done."

Max: "(relieved) Praise be to the mighty salt god!"

They head for the front.

Meanwhile...

Soldier 1: "First a school, then small shops, now for the place full of wood and power tools?"

Fourteen soldiers are standing by in the parking lot of a large hardware store armed with assault rifles and shotguns.

Soldier 2: "It's either have those Creations with the President kill us, or Catalysts and the other Creations kill us."

The heroes walk out of the store.

Soldier 3: "We're stuck in a lose lose scenario."

The heroes notice what lies ahead.

Max: "(salty) Motherfucker!"

Awkward moment of silence...

CJ: "Kick ass and take names?"

CJ and Max equip their gear as Connor puts on his Relay Gear.

Connor: "I like that idea!"

Soldier 4: "We don't!"

Max: "Then you've messed with the wrong idiots!"

Rose's right hand glows teal.

Rose: "I think that you should've altered the wording."

CJ: "Naw, he's good."

They ready for battle.

Meanwhile...

The girl wearing the pink version of Rose's gear is currently leaning against a stoplight post.

Girl: "Still getting used to these streets."

She can see a male a soccer uniform and darker skin at the corner diagonal to her.

Girl: "Hm?"

She can see the image of a ghost faintly float beside him.

Male: "(in the distance) We're still screwed Tyler."

Tyler: "Yeah I know Marcel, but doesn't make me want to complain about it any less."

Girl: "(in head) Is he like me?"

She crosses the street and waits at the post there.

Marcel: "Hm?"

Marcel bumps into the girl.

Girl: "Were you pulled here from your home too?"

Tyler: "How'd you know?"

Marcel: "What's your name?"

Diane: "Diane Zion, so was I right?"

Tyler: "Right on the money."

The two begin to walk together, wary about the other.

Meanwhile...

Max: "Die already!"
