All of the enemies stand defeated.

Kyle: "There!"

Lucas: "Let that be a lesson to you."

However...

Aegis: "We got what we came for."

Connor: "Say what now?"

They look towards the heroes' new allies.

Cale: "U-Us?!"

Kurtis: "What else happened here? Nothing but having you six appear."

BroBot: ">:(."

Dr. Brim: "We would love to stay and finish this, but..."

The enemies turn away.

Soalious: "You're all not here."

Jake: "Wait just a-"

Within the blink of an eye, they're gone.

Isaac: "Cowards."

Dante: "How many times has he used the word coward?"

Dr. LeeAnn: "Enough for there to be a counter."

Jacob: "That's the sad part."

Everyone takes off their gear.

Rose: "But why did they want more of us to show up?"

Moment of silence...

Jade: "I've got an idea."

Dawn: "It'd better not suck."

Sid: "First, can we get an explanation?"

Denton: "I'm on it."

Denton begins to explain the situation.

Horus: "Now there's four with lingering signatures."

Horus is examining some signals of other Creations.

Horus: "But by now they're going to be on their way."

Horus looks towards a familiar gateway.

Horus: "My Creations will be on their way shortly."

Meanwhile...

Anthony: "Whoa!"

CJ: "So we're awesome."

Ashley: "So you're saying that we naturally head for these guys when they're in danger?"

Jade: "How else would my legs suddenly veer directly here?"

Yukiko: "But why would they want us to gather like that?"

Lariat: "To avoid surprise attacks."

Randy: "So they know exactly what we're throwing at them!"

Cole: "Well, we need to strike back."

James looks to his side as the sun begins to set.

James: "Let's hurry."

LeeAnn, Alphonse, and James head for a building.

Rox: "And you're still keeping it secret?"

Dr. LeeAnn: "Yes."

Jacob has already begun darting home.

Bryant: "That's getting old."

Everyone heads home for the night...
