It's 6:30 am in Timberlock, Minnesota. Cj is still asleep and doesn't hear her Resistrix ringing. Both Irish and Shania are standing outside her house calling her. They went inside then went straight to her room. As they enter, they see lot's of crumpled up paper on the floor as well as on her bed. They then see Cj sleeping on her desk with more crumpled up paper. Shania asks Irish to wake her up. Irish claps behind her, so hard that it startled Cj awake then shouted, "Who took my Blakey!!".

Cj wakes up and sees that Irish and Shania are in her room. Shania exclaimed that they were trying to call her for 30 minutes.

"Cj why didn't you answer my calls?" Shania exclaimed,
"Sorry about that." Cj replied, "I slept late last night and I didn't bother to wake up. Why did you call me?"
"A Serpentine sighting just surfaced, in the forest of Africa." Shania said,

Cj looks at her Resistrix and sees that it has been ringing for quite sometime now. Cj apologizes to them for not paying attention. She was just so stressed about the art project because she couldn't think of something to sculpt. Shania explains to her that she should not worry about that now, a serpentine is lose and they need to capture it quick. They quickly teleported to base and prepare to hunt down the serpentine.

As they arrived, they quickly put on their armor and equipment to hunt the serpentine. Cj is on the base's computer and uses a serpentine tracker to find out where the serpentine is.

"I found the location!" Cj exclaimed, "he is in a small village in Congo."
"Can you check if there are any nearby cameras in that village that we can use to see what serpentine got out." Shania asked,
"Sure" Cj replied.

Irish is getting a bit goosebump about the serpentine. She thinks that it might be another mantis serpentine. Cj calms her down with good news. After hacking one of the security cameras in the village, she sees that the serpentine is not a mantis but a giant purple robot dog. She then access the serpentine database to find out more about the serpentine.

"The serpentine's name is Underbite. A serpentine who is part of the extended decepticon faction within the serpentine ranks. A physically dangerous serpentine who's strength and power increases as he consumes more and more metal. The more metal he eats, the stronger he becomes. Also he is equipped with a machine gun on his back which uses the metal that he eats and turns them into ammo."
"This is gonna be tough. The more metal he eats, the stronger he becomes which makes capturing him a lot harder." Shania said.

They quickly stand on the teleporter pad then teleported in the village where Underbite is currently attacking. After a short while they arrived and sees most of the houses with large bite marks, most certainly coming from Underbite. They followed path of chewed up buildings where it lead them to a small junkyard. There they saw just how big and hungry Underbite really is. Digging through a large pile scrap metal and eating all he can find.

Underbite stops eating and saw the Serpent Hunters behind him. He walked closely towards them and was thrilled.

"Well, well, well, If it isn't the resistance! I thought you all died!" Underbite said,
"We're not the resistance, we're the serpent hunters and we are here to put you back where you belong." Shania replied,
"Do you know who I am!?" Underbite said, "I am Underbite! Eater of metals, Devour of cities! Does that ring a bell?"
"We know your name is Underbite but I feel like you're exaggerating about eating a building. You're not even big enough to eat a town" Irish replied.
"What! How dare you mock the greatness that is Underbite!!" Underbite replied in intense

He quickly charges at her then she dodged it but then he turns back and pushed her so hard that she crashed at the pile of scrap. Then he head butted both Cj and Shania that it sent them flying at the same pile scrap. Underbite grabbed a nearby propane tank and ate it, re-energizing himself and also increasing his strength. The Serpent Hunters lie down on the scrap pile as Underbite slowly walks towards them.
