Two months later...

Dante: "(in awe) Whoa!"

The heroes have arrived on top of a cliffside looking over the vast, Atlantic ocean.

Cole: "So where do we go from here?"

Jacob: "(awkwardly) Well we need to go north along the coast until we arrive at the capital, Washington D.C., but after that I have no fucking idea what's going to happen."

Tyler: "Well, that's concerning."

The sea breeze flies into their faces.

Ashley: "Everything we do is concerning."

The sun still hangs high in the sky.

BroBot: "^_^."

They begin heading north.

Ethan: "But these'll be our toughest fights yet."

Edo: "I'd doubt that they'd let the leader of a country get killed by a bunch of weirdos."

The once calm waves grow fierce in the blink of an eye.

James: "These waves aren't growing fierce by the tide alone."

Cereza: "You see something?"

James is picking up biological signatures further out into the ocean.

James: "We've got battleships coming our way."

A silhouette of five ships is seen in the distance.

Isaac: "Well... fuck."

Everyone equips their gear, with Denton wearing a sort of tunic and holding dual crossbows and Jacob with his katana.

Faith: "So there's five ships."

The ships draw closer.

Micheal: "And like... 49 of us."

Alphonse: "We need to divide up and fast!"

Their heart rates begin to rise.

Alexis: "Alright, five teams for five ships."

They all form a line.

Sid: "Alexis, Lariat, William, Cereza, and I will act as captains."

The ships draw closer.

Alexis: "Max, Robert, Cole, Dominic, Isaac, Shoma, Jade, Cale, and Dr. LeeAnn."

Veld: "Alright."

All people called walk over to Alexis.

Lariat: "I'll need Phillip, Jack, Eryth, Edo, Anthony, Isabel, Roy, Alphonse, Jay, and Jeremy."

Jack: "(smiling) We're on it!"

They all walk over to Lariat.

William: "I definitely need Emily, Denton, Nia, Jake, Rose, Connor, Kyle, Rox, and Tori."

Kyle: "That'll work."

They walk over to William as the ships draw closer.

Cereza: "Bryant, Jacob, Jason, Marcel, Micheal, Zack, Veld, BroBot, and Owen are joining me."

Rose: "Very well."

They join Cereza.

Sid: "Then CJ, Randy, Risa, Yukiko, Ashley, Ike, James, Dawn, Dante and Spencer are with me."

Jay: "(sighing) Fine."

They join up as the ships dock at the cliff's bottom, ready for the heroes to jump onto.

Yukiko: "Let's get going!"

They leap off the cliff, directing themselves to their respective ships...
