Jake already knew that things could end up like that, but he couldn't hide his displeasure while being covered in dirt, blood, and sweat. Fortunately, that helped him to strengthen his flames. Perhaps that was the perfect mission to turn him into a better soldier since he would need to strenghen his resolve, he was also soft in some aspects and now that he couldn't count on anyone to watch his back, something had to be done.
Although they couldn't see or hear him, the beehives still tried to hit him behind the dust and smoke curtain. However, they hit nothing, and in fact, he wasn't even there anymore. Since the beehives were pretty tall, Jake was crawling while using the corpses that he killed to keep himself hidden and approach the others. They only noticed what he did when he got up and dashed toward them as well.
