Back in New York...

Fire spreaded throughout Times Square as a squad of Cleaners were burning the area. A dump truck with Cleaners holding onto the side arrives and the aid the squad with burning the area. However, there's a man hiding there, a Cleaner spots him and aims his flamethrower at him.

Man: "AH! WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! NO! DON'T DO- AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!"

He is then burned alive. The Cleamer moves on and burns a car. Later on, 16-20 more dump trucks with more Cleaners arrive.

Cleaner: "Once we're done wait for Dan Williamson. He'll be leading us while Joe takes care of his business on the other side of Manhattan."

Cleaner 2: "Roger that. Wait give me a sec."

He grabs his walkie talkie and speaks into it.

Cleaner 2: "Send more Cleaners to Times Square."

Cleaner: "Roger that."

Then, 5 more dump trucks arrive and then they were done burning the area. Then, tons of dump trucks arrive with Cleaners and a Cleaner with a beanie and a fireproof firefighter jacket, jeans and a gas mask steps on a car to speak to the crowd of Cleaners.

Dan: "Cleaners. Today! Is the day we will accomplish Joe's dream! A future of the disease vanishing! Today, we will work overtime to get this over with!"

The Cleaners cheer but Dan here isn't done just yet. And while he was saying that, 18 more dump trucks arrived.

Dan: "We shall not rest, we shall not give up! We shall burn every portion of Manhattan to free it from the disease! With the power of fire!"

The crowd cheers loudly and some even fired their flamethrowers into the air along with their normal guns that have flamethrowers attatched to them. A Cleaner arrives behind Dan to bring some news.

Cleaner: "Boss- I mean, sir! There's something you should see! Near the Empire State Building! Come!"

The Cleaners along with the 43 trucks follow the Cleaner. They march and drive towards the area while burning some parts of the street. They arrive and they see some Cleaners investigating a massive portal.

Dan: "Oh sh*t."

The Cleaners step forward a bit as curiosity grabs their attention.

Dan: "Whatever could be on the other side is dead already. I mean, wherever we go, we have to burn. The other side could be contaminated. Who's with me?"

The Cleaners march forward into the portal with Dan along with their dump trucks. It remains open. The Cleaners make it to the other side to see a grassland. They walk around and stumble across a village of odd looking people. Then a woman with maroon clothes steps forward to greet the visitors.

Mayor: "Greetings! Welcome to Elberon. I'm the mayor of this town. Are there any questions?"

There was no question from the Cleaners. Dan grabbed out his flamethrower and walks forward along with the other Cleaners.

Dan: "They're mutants. Burn everything."

Meanwhile in Bright Moon...

Caleb is having his free time in his room playing five finger fillet by himself. He sings as he plays.

Caleb: "I have all my fingers, and the knife goes chop, chop, chop. If I miss the spaces in between my fingers will come off. And if I hit my fingers, the blood will soon come out. But all the same I play this game because that's what it's all about! Oh chop, chop, chop, chop, chop I'm picking up the speed. And if I hit my fingers thhen my hand will start to ble-

Glimmer: "Caleb."

Caleb: "AGH! SH*T!"

He cuts the side if his middle finger. He puts it against his lips.

Glimmer: "Oh! Sorry."

Caleb: "It's fine. What's up?"

Glimmer: "You're not wearing your weird mask. Or your weird hat."

Caleb gets up and looks at Glimmer who's a blushing mess.

Caleb: "Face reveal. I know. Glimmer? Glimmer? Earth to Glimmer- I mean. Etheria to Glimmer."

Glimmer: "Huh? Oh sorry. I got distracted. Anyway we have a meeting. Come on. Let's go Caleb."

Caleb grabs his gas mask and puts it on. They walk down the hallway and Glimmer fantasises her and Caleb together. She can't get the image of his face out her head. They arrive at the meeting room and everyone is gathered there.

Bow: "Caleb. Nice haircut."

Caleb: "Thank you."

Adora: "Do youhave to wear that thing around your mouth?"

Caleb: "You guys want to see my face?"

Frosta: "Yeah come on. Take it off!"

Spinnerella: "Do you darling?"

Netossa: "Sure. Why not."

Caleb unbuckles the back of his mask and it comes off. He takes it off revealing his handsome face once more. Some of the girls at the table blush heavily and Queen Angella and King Micah arrive, snapping everyone out of their thoughts.

Angella: "Everyone. Let's get on with the mweting. A few moments ago, the mayor of Elberon sent a major distress call. Here's the message."

She plays it and a hologram plays it. Fire, gunshots and screams were heard in the background.

Mayor: "This is the Mayor of Elberon! These enemies are way worse than the horde! They wield metal objects that spits out flames! They're burning everything! They're shooting some small metal pieces at us. Send help!"

Civillian: "They're coming! No, no! AAAHHHH!!!!"

The call ends there.

Caleb: "Flame? Burn everything? Your majesty what do the attackers look like?"

Angella: "Here's a description of them."

The table projects a picture of one of them wearing a firefighter jacket holding a flamethrower. Caleb gasps in shock and surprise and he drops his mask.

Caleb: "I-it can't be...h-h-how? There's- no way. It's the Cleaners from New York."

Adora: "The factions. You were describing them when we met. This is one of them!"

Glimmer: "How did they get here from Earth? Caleb said that they'll burn anything."

Caleb: "We have to stop them before they burn anything else. Hell, they might target Frosta's kingdom next, or even the entire planet."

Frosta: "N-no."

Micah: "Very well. Be sure to evacuate the survivors. Good luck out there."

Caleb and the other princesses leave the castle and rush towards the village. As they git closer, they can smell smoke, indicating that they're getting closer. They arrive and see the Cleaners burn every building. One of them turns around and sees Caleb.
