There was an explosion.

The hermits turned their heads toward the back of the room to see Bdubs, Tango, and Impulse.

"The Boomers are on the case!", Bdubs declared so loudly that a sturdy piece of the wall fell and broke. Tango stood, hands on his hips, proud. And Impulse juggled his shovels around.

"We, the Boomers, will save you all!", Impulse said, smirked, holding out a shovel at the hermits.

Tango bathed in glory. It didn't last long, Cub making a finger gun. "Okay, boomer."

The hermits laughed while Tango sat in a corner. Even Doc was laughing, and that guy is serious all the time.

It didn't last very long.

"Shut up, all of you!" The hermits jerked their heads around. Where was it coming from? Left? Right? There has to be a surround sound speaker somewhere, right? "Be quiet and repair that wall right now."

It sounded like a man. He had a soft voice, but a very stern one too.

"Guys, over here," Etho said, an obvious, worried tone being heard behind his voice. Everyone crowded around him. There were two eyes, and some sort of glowing symbol. It was nothing like the EVO sign. It had swirls and curves instead of edges and corners. It glowed white and black, like a birch tree, but it was textured like... bedrock?

It evaporated in the blink of an eye, disappearing.

The hermits had decided to ignore it. Tango blew the last layer of the wall, the hermits cheering. The Boomers smiled with joy. They all jumped out of the room.
