The storm dies down.

Owen: "What just..."

Owen, Risa, Yukiko, Alexis, Jay, Denton, Spencer, Jeremy, Robert, and Cole are completely separated from the others.

Risa: "Guys?!"

A dozen of the strange soldiers surround them.

Denton: "Are you freaking kidding me?!"

The soldiers stare at the heroes.

Jay: "(sighing) Just take them out."

Jay points his revolver at a soldier.

Jeremy: "I don't think that these guys are your normal soldiers..."

Jay pulls the trigger.

Yukiko: "Did he just-"

The bullet deflected off of the soldier's head.

Spencer: "Shit."

Alexis is blocking a soldier from clawing at her.

Samuel: "A little help would be appreciated!"

Robert shield bashes the soldier off.

Alexis: "Thanks."

Robert: "No problem at all."

Jeremy is doing his best to dodge two.

Jeremy: "What kind of steroids did these guys eat?!"

Cole fires his cannon at one, but it only knocks a soldier back a foot.

Cole: "All of them?"

Samuel: "They're like walls that can move like an animal!"

All twelve dive towards them.

Yukiko: "Denton!"

Denton switches to martial art style as an aura around him, Risa, and Yukiko forms.

Denton, Risa, and Yukiko: "Synergy Attack, Torrential Whirlpool Accelerator!"

They initiate the attack and get the soldiers away from them before Denton changes back.

Cole: "We need a plan!"

Owen: "And fast!"

The soldiers prepare for another attack.

Meanwhile...

The girl identical to Anthony and her counterpart are standing next to a billboard in the middle of nowhere.

Boy: "What do you think the others are doing Isabel?"

Isabel: "Anthony's probably being an idiot with Kyle, Roy."

They can see dust clouds in the distance after a few minutes.

Roy: "What is that?"

They both equip their own gear. Isabel has amber claws and now has fox ears and and a tail while Roy has an orange scythe and dirty attire.

Isabel: "Trouble."

They hurry towards the dust.

Meanwhile...

Owen is struggling to hold back three.

Owen: "(struggling) Help!"

Risa gets them off with an alarming kick.

Risa: "(in pain) They're made of fucking steel!"

The force of the kick and the soldiers' durability has temporary disabled Risa.
