"It's best if we keep walking."
"I can see it. The Planes in sight."
"Wait, is that?"
"Eric?"
"You may have changed teams, but you can't get rid of me that easily. Ready?"
"What about the Bears?"
"Ruby, wait. Eric is waiting for….."
"I'll be real quick."
*Vroom*
".......Do you know where she is going?"
"I'll find out."
"Just come back. We'll talk later."
"Don't worry. I know what to do."
"Sir, wait. We need you he..."
*Click*
"Who's there?"
*Beep*
"..What the? Where'd the Bears go? These were their cages."
"HEY, SHOW YOURSELF."
*Vroom*
"....Ruby, come on. Where are you? We're going to be….."
*Click*
"What's everyone standing around for? Come on. Chop, chop. Sit down and put your seatbelts on. Eric's about to take off."
"Ruby, how were they?"
"I didn't find them."
"Gone?"
"Just a spot of blood."
"In both Cages?"
"All three."
"They killed them?"
"I know they....."
"No. No. I don't think it was them."
"What do you mean?"
"What are you girls talking about, back there?"
".......I saw claw marks."
"You don't think?"
"I'll make certian.
Lolli, come in. Lolli?"
".................Ruby...
*Huuuuuhaaaaaa.....Now's not a good time to check in."
"ROAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!"
"Aaaaaaaaaaaghhh...…
Back you Beast. Back."
"Why are you breathing so hard? Was that what I think it was? You should've told me."
"As I said, 'Not the time.' I've been around the clock with these Beasts, but they don't seem to be attacking the Cities; which is good. Just staying on the outskirts."
"Ruby, what's she saying?"
"Shh."
"You were the original Protector, but after you died; Rainbow and Lion took over. With Rainbow dead, and Lion dispersed; their is no one."
"So you're saying this happened over time? Has Lion been helping?"
"It doesn't matter how long. They're here now, and you're there. Their taste for human flesh is weak, and Lion is finally coming forth with his cure; but I fear it's already too late. Thanks to the Rogues, the Beasts have already had their fill. It's only a matter of time."
"Do you know where they crawled out of?"
"I'm not strong enough to push them back in even if I did."
"Just do your best."
"The Kids are helping. Wolfgirl and Owl are doing their best, while Tigress is….."
"Keep the Kids out of this."
"That's not your decision to make.
....Have you met one?"
"The remnants of its prey."
"......I see."
