La Big Bertha, SOA and La Grande Dame had no right being THAT gorgeous. My heart went 🫠

[el-moscorrofio-y-el-mercachifle]

As you recently posted that you are worried about the third series without Gaitan I would ask some questions. First, what did you thing of the second series *Ecomoda*? What would you want Betty, Armando, et al. to be up to decades later? Are there aspects of the original series you would like to see followed up?

Hiii thanks for the questions!🥰

Tbh, I never watched Ecomoda. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the cute Armando/Betty fluff, but I really saw no point in it (and it always looked so oversaturated with colors that it was unappealing to me lol). So some of the things I'd love to see might have been answered already in Ecomoda and I judt don't know lmao. Although That's also part of my issue with this new coming series!

Regarding what I would like to see, new and continued, and in no particular order, I'd love:

Tributes and/or mentiones of the original cast members that are no longer with us. Perhaps Hugo keeping a portrait of Inesita on his desk and occasionally making comments to it (("ay, Inés, ¿está viendo usted la porquería de puntadas que son estas? No, es que esta gente es alérgica al talento, de verdad" while he's in the middle of one of those tantrums or something before moving on. Just general and occasional comments in a way that leaves the viewer with the sure knowledge that Hugo loves and misses Inesita, and that for him she'll forever be his best friend and she is never forgotten but also not to an unhealthy degree you know??)). Bertha talking about her Gordito on the phone or to the Cuartel (just because the actor passed doesn't mean the character has to, too). Betty mentioning something like Catalina moved to another country or something but that they are still the best of friends and keep in contact often; or Camila saying she's planning to go on vacations with her Aunt Cata for the summer. Just in general, I'd love for this new part to not forget those who participated in the original, and for all the relationships and friendships that were so cute and strong to remain as such in the new one.

Betty and Armando still in love. I want them to be so in love and devoted to each other, but I also want to see them as a team working together in Ecomoda. I also want them to be respected. Maybe the Cuartel is not so aprovechado anymore? Lol

Flashbacks. I want some more details about their lives, things that we missed for the past 20+ years

Clues about the characters' pasts. I want to know Marcela and Armando's childhood. I want to know when Nicolás and Betty became besties. I don't need big full scenes, but a casual mention like, Armando going "oh, sí, yo tenía tu edad cuando...". Just to fill in gaps that the original left (although I'm also fearful of too much info considering Gaitan is no longer the one writing them)

Unfortunately, there are characters that aren't coming back even though the actors are still around. I want to know what happened to Daniel, to Sofia, to Jenny. I want to know what happened to Daniel after being so stupid as to invest every single penny he owned and put it in a proyect that led nowhere lmao. I want to know what happened to Jenny.

I'd love to see Freddy and Jimmy being good friends. Jimmy doesn't have to call him dad, but I want it to be super clear that Freddy basically is and they love each other as father and son (as seen in ysblf). Just imagine their bond now, after so many years! Hopefully Freddy and Aura María are still going strong

I don't remember if Mariana is coming back, but I'd loved to see her actually getting a modeling career like she wanted

I want to see the relationship between Betty and her in laws

I want to see how Marcela came back into their lives (which is honestly baffling and I'm still unsure about this decision, but I understand they had to bring back the iconic duo)

I REALLY don't want Patricia to be redeemed. I don't. She never seemed like she wanted to be redeemed. But if she is, they better give a super good explanation

I also don't want Mario redeemed lmao. I hope he still is the hedonistic womanizer with no sense of morality. Again, I don't think he wanted to be redeemed.

In general, my only three real expectations are: Betty and Armando still together, good and faithful characters, and a good story. I really don't see the need (besides money lmao) to bring it back, so I'm not having much hopes ((especially regarding the characters. I really hope they aren't further flanderized!))

Thank you for your question🥰🥰

Para fomentar la realización de tramas y facilitar el desarrollo de personajes, estaremos realizando la segunda parte de una dinámica para crear nuevas conexiones y tramas entre personajes. Ésta se encuentra dirigida a cualquier personaje presente en el verse. A continuación nos extenderemos en los detalles respectivos.

― 𝐄𝐍 𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐋.

Para esta dinámica estaremos formando parejas al azar. Cada pareja recibirá una oración/prompt de la cual partirán para abrir un thread.

Si alguna pareja ya posee alguna relación o trama entre sí, por favor comuníquenlo en la brevedad posible al Main. Deseamos que se realice entre personajes que tienen poca o nula comunicación entre sí.

Las oraciones/prompts se escogieron al azar mediante el Spotify de nuestra admin principal, Moony, y se adaptaron para la dinámica.

Pueden modificar la oración escogida y utilizar alguna de la canción de la cual proviene. Así mismo, si les es muy complicado originar una conversación alrededor de la misma, pueden pedir otra canción sin problema.

Queda en ustedes cómo se relacionarán los personajes en el thread, así mismo quien inicia con la frase de la oración. Les pedimos que busquen situaciones que puedan alargar los threads y se consiga que los personajes interactuen durante el mismo.

Existen dos tríos dado que la cantidad de personajes en el verse no es par. En ésta situación, deben interactuar entre los tres personajes.

Si algún personaje llegase a faltar en la dinámica, por favor avísenos de inmediato.

Cualquier duda nos encontramos a un mensaje de distancia, ¡diviértanse!

Tar One ft Sixo Master Flow - Omerta Lyrics

J'me suis baigné dans toutes les rivières mais c'est dans un verre que j’vais finir par me noyer

Là j’suis en feux ça y est, je n'ai plus le temps, j’ai pas de montre au poignet

Plutôt du côté cailleras et voyous que flics et douaniers

Balancez moi des lacrymo j'adore le poivre de Cayenne

Du Rap ils s’amourachent, moi accro comme à la samouraï

Trouve ça pourrave qu’il soit dans les mains de Saroumanes

Ils saoulent comme Sambuca mais on les graille comme Samoussa

Ce game est comme toi si tu testes : plein d’sales trous d’balles !

Avant c'était NTM ou c'tait IAM

Maintenant c'est MDR tous des swagg man

Tu m'déçois grave comme un vegan qui craque et s'bouffe des toast de foie gras

Mon arme est linguistique tout comme les malfrats

Quand j’fais ça j’me marre bien

Cracheur de feu mais pas genre Punk à chien

Dans le cahier gratte, comme Diego marque de la main

Comme mes sapes, l’arrogance me va bien

Très Gros tatane à la Jason Statham

Toujours en feux toujours chaud patate

Trop badass trop ratal OH l'bâtard

J'ai ma cons ma came ma grosse matraque

Retournerai pas ma veste comme Marlène Schiappa

Me relève malgré la poisse comme Boogie, Klay, Isiah

On met ta team à l’amende, surplombe comme Himalaya

Pour la fraternité on milite mais c’est pas l’Hymne à la Joie

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Tu t’avances si tu t’avances, j’m’en branle, fais de même

Si je recule, c’est pour te mettre un fade away

Vrai de vrai, mets tas d’claques avec élégance

Comme éléphant j’attaque même avec mes défenses

J'porte pas d'or ma caille

pas de bling bling mais j'big up mes gars qui porte des portacath

Fin d'soirée faudra qu'on me porte à 4

J'porte mes couilles comme Batman porte sa cape

Rimes, patterns, Big Faya, divine Vibe, ça j’aime

Passe-passe, on s’passe parole comme Frisbie, Yves Van Laetem

Big Beat, kickage, pas d’thème

Évite les pièges comme Bip-Bip, j’kiffe ça Gaddamn !

Ici pas de costard cravate, pas de grosse star, sauf Rapsat et Green Montana

Donc on brise ton cadenas

Fiston pars là-bas

Évitons l'carnage

Vire ta zik de carnaval

On est la crème de Verviers et de tout c’merdier

J’suis fier du p’tit frère, un killer comme Berthier

Tue comme grosse Bertha, on fait la paire, fils : Homer-Bart

Te réduit au silence comme Omerta

S.U.I.T.S - Terran's Hidden War

TERRAN 24 - CHASE

"What's the situation?" I asked as I joined my teammates in Big Bertha. The only one not present in the meeting was Miyoung, who was currently in medical. We had managed to escape from a battered Las Vegas, but SUITs reinforcements had successfully retaken the city.

Big Bertha then spoke up. "Miyoung is stable but unconscious. We are currently pursuing Zaporg's remaining fleet as they head towards Los Angeles. Onon Khan and Ingrid Hoffman are accompanying us."

"I'm reporting for duty as Heavy Assault Class, Kheshig," Onon Khan declared.

"And I'm reporting for duty as Heavy Assault Class, Baba Yaga," Ingrid added.

"Reporting for duty as Medium Assault Class, Big Bertha," Viktor chimed in.

"Miyoung did an excellent job of injuring Zaporg," I remarked. "Let's make sure we don't let her down."

Big Bertha announced, "We have caught up with Zaporg's fleet."

"Prepare for battle stations. Bertha, Harmony, and Vivian will handle the guns. Isabel and Viktor will join me," I commanded. "We're going to fight our way through his fleet."

"We'll join you, Kobayashi," Onon said confidently.

The map revealed a multitude of enemy assault vehicles and platform carriers ahead of us, defending Zaporg's flagship vehicle on the front line. Additionally, there were numerous enemy aircraft swarming around our assault vehicles. Our auto guns dealt with the aircraft while our cannons targeted both the vehicles in front and behind us. Despite being heavily overwhelmed, our shields held remarkably strong.

As we entered the garage, we equipped ourselves with essential items for the upcoming push. The ramp lowered as we surveyed the terrain. The overwhelming amount of activity left me feeling anxious and my hands trembled with nervousness. Isabel reached out and took hold of my hand.

She spoke reassuringly, "Take it one step at a time, Kobayashi. Just follow us and we'll lead you straight to Zaporg." I let out a nervous sigh and nodded in agreement.

An enemy platform was within reach as Viktor sprinted past me and leaped off the ramp. Isabel followed suit, and I quickly followed their lead. Viktor landed on the enemy platform first, digging his hands into its metallic structure to partially lift it up as a form of defense against incoming fire from enemies nearby. Standing in front of this makeshift barricade, he fired several shots at the enemy while enduring their attacks.

We landed on the platform safely behind Viktor's protective cover formed by lifting up part of its metal structure. Big Bertha slightly moved away from her previous position but continued to advance slowly towards our target - right behind this particular enemy platform

"Kobayashi," Isabel said, "our focus is solely on the enemies in front of us." I nodded in response. "Are you ready?" she asked. 

Isabel sprinted ahead and leaped onto the closest enemy vehicle. A few seconds later, I followed in her footsteps, with Viktor trailing behind me. As soon as Isabel landed on the enemy vehicle, she swiftly took care of the enemies while I assisted her by dealing with the remaining ones surrounding her. Viktor then ran past us and jumped onto the nearest platform.

Continuing our advance towards Zaporg's location, I followed Isabel to another vehicle platform. The attackers were coming at us from all directions, making it challenging but not impossible. To my right, Onon jumped from her vehicle to our platform and joined us after releasing two arrows mid-air.

Viktor chose a different platform where he stood his ground and faced off against a figure on the opposite side.

"Bertha," I asked, "who is that?"

"That's Selma Larsen," Bertha replied. "She's another member of Sang Hwang's Joker Group."

"Any idea how many of them there are?" I inquired.

"That remains unknown," Bertha answered. I noticed Ingrid landing on our platform as well; she swiftly ran past us to join Viktor on his chosen platform.

"It's Viktor's best friend!" he exclaimed with laughter.

"I can't let you have all the fun," Ingrid grinned mischievously as she unfastened her tomahawk from her belt and spun it around.

Viktor laughed back. "Wilma, Let’s Have Some Fun."

"Dance Gracefully, Coconut!" Ingrid shouted back before they both charged ahead together.

"Pound for pound! Koko!" exclaimed Selma as she forcefully clapped her brass knuckle knives together and charged ahead.

We pressed on, leaping from one platform to another vehicle. Our progress was slow but steady until we spotted a bend up ahead. They were changing directions.

Bertha?" I inquired.

"Their new destination is San Francisco instead of Los Angeles," she replied. "Zaporg's flagship is also headed there.” I heard two voices over the comms.

"I am Captain Miles Grant of the Light Assault Vehicle, Thunderbird," said Miles.

"And I am Captain Juan Reyes of the Light Assault Vehicle, Quetzalcoatl," added Juan Reyes.

"Light vehicles?" Onon asked, releasing an arrow.

Miles Grant, born in 1900 in Chicago, United States, established his own gang that dominated certain areas of the city. As time went on, he crossed paths with Al Capone in 1920. Together, they formed an organized crime group that operated in Chicago during the Prohibition era. Their illicit activities mainly revolved around distributing illegal alcohol. However, as Miles Grant's business flourished and he achieved greater success, Al Capone grew envious and consumed by greed. This ultimately led to a tragic turn of events when Al Capone orchestrated the assassination of Miles Grant during a dinner meeting in 1932, seizing his territory for himself.

"Just because we're light doesn't mean we can be easily taken down, Onon," Miles explained.

We witnessed two vehicles demolishing several enemy vehicles while evading enemy fire at the same time. As they drove past us, Miles and Juan hopped onto our platform to join us.

"We were nearby," Miles stated. "So we thought we would assist you in eliminating Zaporg's remaining forces.”

And so, we continued onward.

Juan Reyes lived on the outskirts of Tenochtitlan, a commoner during the height of the Aztec Empire in 1487. It was there that he encountered Isabel Macedo, a disabled young woman full of adventure. Later in life, both Juan and Isabel joined the Aztec army and achieved great accomplishments - Juan as a promoted Jaguar Warrior and Isabel as an elevated Eagle Warrior. Tragically, Juan lost his life during the Fall of Tenochititlan when Spanish Conquistador Hernan Cortes mercilessly razed the city to ruins.

It was a heavyweight fist fight, with the advantage in Selma's favor. Both Selma and Viktor landed punches simultaneously, but Selma's was slightly stronger, causing Viktor to stagger backwards. Ingrid then attacked Selma with her tomahawk, gracefully dancing around and dodging her attacks until she received a powerful kick to the chest. Ingrid flew backwards and crashed into another vehicle in front of them.

Viktor and Selma resumed their heavyweight boxing match, exchanging blows to the face and body. Neither of them wavered as they continued for a few more minutes.

In the second round, Viktor lost when Selma landed a heavy body blow that sent him staggering backwards. She then grabbed his wrist and threw him at the vehicle in front of them.

Ingrid reappeared beneath Selma, landing a light punch before spinning around her and making successful cuts on her body. Ingrid hooked her weapon on her belt and delivered swift punches to Selma's fists using speed and grace. However, Selma quickly adapted to the situation, matching Ingrid's speed blow for blow for several minutes.

Selma landed a solid punch on Ingrid's chest that pushed her towards the center of the platform. Meanwhile, Viktor approached from behind with his fist aimed at Selma's head while Ingrid targeted her legs with a kick. However, Selma managed to dodge both attacks by spinning in the center position. She then kicked Viktor forcefully in the chest, sending him flying once again over Ingrid who had rolled back onto her feet.

Selma quickly got up from rolling on the ground and grabbed Ingrid by the neck before throwing her at Viktor as he reached out for help mid-air. He caught hold of Ingrid's hand before spinning around and throwing her back towards their enemy vehicle where he crashed into it. The clash between Ingrid’s tomahawk collided with Selmas brass knuckle knife as they rolled forward. Ingrid swiftly got back on her feet, turned, and continued her attack on Selma.

We pressed forward, skillfully evading enemy aircraft and vehicles that attacked us from all sides. Even with seasoned fighters by my side, the situation was overwhelming. However, my concern for Miyoung's health overshadowed everything else happening in the moment. Despite this, we pushed on and eliminated any enemies blocking our path.

Isabel leaped onto another platform, followed closely by Miles and Onon. I joined them shortly after but failed to notice a boulder hurtling towards me from my blind spot while mid-air. I was slow to react, but Juan swiftly appeared in front of me and swung his weapon, shattering the boulder into millions of pieces as I safely reunited with the group.

"Bertha," I called out, seeking information.

"Luca Grasso has joined the fight. It appears she has escaped from Los Vegas," Bertha replied.

"Who else managed to escape?" I inquired further.

"Unknown," came her response.

Luca emerged from the ground and matched our speed on the platforms as he hurled more boulders at us. Onon aimed her arrow at each incoming boulder, expertly shattering them into smaller pieces that posed no harm to us but wreaked havoc on enemy vehicles nearby.

Meanwhile, Luca raised ground platforms while chasing us from the side. Juan leaped off an enemy platform and landed safely on a moving ground platform headed in our direction. He manipulated his elemental abilities as he changed position and charged straight towards Luca. As we continued moving forward under Juan's relentless pressure on Luca, Luca simultaneously threw boulders at Juan and at us. Onon provided a brief respite by clearing a safe passage ahead before eventually joining forces with Juan once again

On our left was a close combat heavyweight fight, with two against one. To our right, there was a projectile heavyweight battle with the same ratio. It was quite chaotic to witness both fights up close.

Juan and Onon manipulated their connected ground platform to spin around Luca, trying to disorient him. Onon aimed and released multiple arrows at him, but Luca narrowly dodged them while also throwing rocks at his enemies. Juan swung his weapon and shattered boulders into millions of pieces.

"Join me, Tengri," Onon said.

"Dive deep, Cizin," Juan whispered.

"Slice effortlessly, Capcaun," Luca spoke.

Luca hurled another boulder at Onon. She fired two arrows simultaneously; one hit an enemy vehicle positioned 90 degrees to her right while the other struck the incoming boulder. The redirected boulder crashed into the enemy vehicle. Juan propelled himself towards Luca by pushing against his Earth platform. He split a thrown boulder in half and swung his weapon as he neared Luca.

Luca spun and evaded Juan's attack. Juan raised another platform to prevent Luca from escaping and pushed himself onto the small platform where Luca stood. The two clashed their weapons—Luca wielding a Niginata—while Onon continued shooting arrows at him whenever she saw an opportunity amidst the fight but failed to strike her target.

Luca gained a slight advantage and pushed Onon off his platform just as she found an opening from above him. Taking advantage of this momentary distraction, she wrapped a vine around her arrow before releasing it again.

“First Earth: Splintered.”

Her arrow split into hundreds of splintered pieces of wood, which quickly transformed into larger, sharp wooden stakes. They rained down on Luca as Onon continued to barrage him with her splintered arrows. Luca leaped off the platform and onto a vehicle, then proceeded to move from vehicle to platform while skillfully avoiding the projectiles hurled at him.

In a swift motion, Luca spun and threw his naginata at an oncoming splintered arrow, splitting it in half. His weapon continued its trajectory towards Onon, who retaliated by releasing another rain of splintered arrows. However, her attack did not hinder Luca's weapon as it effortlessly split the stake in two. The naginata came within inches of striking Onon before a boulder redirected its course.

"You owe me one," Juan exclaimed as he jumped past Onon and joined Luca on the platform. The naginata returned to Luca as they continued their intense clash with each other while receiving support from Onon. I followed closely behind Miles and Isabel as we pushed forward, defeating our enemies along the way. To our left, Viktor and Ingrid struggled in their fight against Selma while on our right side Juan fought against Luca with equal intensity.

"Incoming enemies," Bertha spoke up.

"From where?" I asked curiously.

We came to a stop and held our position. Suddenly, we noticed a figure emerging from the platform - it was Zaporg, but there was something noticeably different about him compared to when we last saw him in Los Vegas. Although he still lacked arms, his missing leg had miraculously regrown.

"You kids never give up, do you?" Zaporg gasped. "Well then, let's take things up a notch." He revealed a hidden pole weapon from within his body. "Prepare yourself, Asat."

We watched in awe as his two arms swiftly regenerated and a surge of overwhelming energy enveloped him. "You'll wish you hadn't crossed paths with me."

In an instant, Zaporg appeared behind us. Our reactions were slow as he delivered a powerful kick to my chest. Simultaneously, he deftly sliced off Isabel's mechanical arm and engaged in combat with Miles.

"Activate Pozole - Extend My Range," Isabel uttered through gritted teeth.

"Charge forward, Liam!" Miles shouted.

Iced formed rapidly on Isabel's left arm as she quickly reattached it together using her ice powers. Her frozen arm hardened around the mechanical one.

"You're going to regret that, Zaporg!" Isabel cried out defiantly.

Zaporg landed a heavy punch on Miles' chest before engaging in close-range combat with Isabel. They slowly closed in on each other until they were within striking distance. I joined them in the fight.

"Channel my power - Illuminate my path," I called upon my abilities as Calm Princess.

Zaporg forcefully pushed Miles off the platform and directed his attention towards us. Once again, he shattered Isabel's mechanical ice arm and kicked her away. Zaporg easily gained the upper hand against me, overwhelming me as usual.

"You forgot about Viktor, Zaporg!" shouted Viktor. He swiftly landed on the platform between us and delivered a powerful right hook to Zaporg's face, sending him flying backwards. "Don't mess with Viktor's leader," chuckled Viktor.

I glanced to my left to see Miles engaged in a fight with Selma alongside Ingrid.

"What took you so long?" asked Isabel. The ice on her arm reformed, reattaching her mechanical limb.

"Aw, Isabel misses Viktor," laughed Viktor.

"You are still no match for me!" yelled Zaporg.

Viktor grinned confidently. "This is for Miyoung." He clenched his fists together. "Unleash, Wilma."

He bypassed his second stage and immediately entered his third stage. I watched in awe as light armor materialized over his body before transforming into heavy armor. This final stage was incredibly overpowering for me; it was my first time witnessing such immense energy focused solely on him.

"Let's dance, Zaporg," smirked Viktor.

I witnessed an epic battle unfold before my eyes, as Viktor and Zaporg clashed with incredible force. Zaporg thrust his weapon forward like a spear, but it proved futile against Viktor's might. In a swift motion, Viktor shattered Zaporg's weapon into countless pieces and engaged him in a fierce fist fight.

The impact of each punch sent shockwaves rippling through the air, causing damage to enemy aircraft hovering above us. Seizing the opportunity, Viktor seized Zaporg's arm and propelled him into the sky, only to reappear beside him moments later. Their intense confrontation continued amidst the backdrop of enemy aircraft.

Viktor exhibited unparalleled strength as he grabbed multiple aircraft and swung them at Zaporg like baseball bats. With unwavering determination, he relentlessly attacked his adversary from behind, striking blow after blow with precision. Finally, Viktor hurled Zaporg downwards, sending them both crashing into an enemy vehicle.

Not content with just that, Viktor forcefully hurled Zaporg into an enemy vehicle before doing the same himself. With an unyielding fury coursing through his veins, he impaled Zaporg with a weapon formed from his own hands, which had transformed into metal protrusions. Each strike landed on its mark, slicing through both of Zaporg's left arms consecutively, as Viktor growled fiercely in remembrance of Isabel.

Viktor threw Zaporg into another enemy vehicle and quickly followed suit. He gripped the metal structure of the vehicle and stabbed Zaporg with his newly formed weapon. "That's for Isabel," Viktor snarled as he severed Zaporg's left arm, then repeated the action a second later. "TWICE!" he exclaimed before delivering a powerful punch to Zaporg's face. As they flew out of the enemy ship together, Viktor shouted, "You're not escaping from Viktor!"

Violently grabbing hold of Zaporg's leg, Viktor forcefully threw him to the ground without letting go himself. They crashed onto the ground with Zaporg trapped beneath them. Without any hesitation, Viktor unleashed everything he had on Zaporg - even hurling enemy vehicles at him.

Gripping tightly onto Zaporg's leg once more, Viktor lifted him up and violently swung him from side to side before throwing him against a nearby boulder.

"You don't mess with Viktor," declared Victor as he loomed above his fallen opponent. "Third Metal: Devastating Crater." He wrapped himself into a ball and free-fell towards the ground in one last desperate attempt to defeat Zaporg.

Zaprog pushed himself off the ground and aimed his pole weapon towards Victor; it gradually transformed into a sharp-edged weapon.

"You underestimate me, kid," chuckled Zaporog.

The shockwaves and earthquakes devastated enemy aircraft and vehicles, leaving no trace of Luca and Selma in the aftermath. We survived a mini-apocalyptic event caused by Viktor, with our friends still standing strong.

Isabel and I rushed towards Viktor, as he limped towards us. He was in his final stage. When we caught up to him, Viktor fell to his knees. Zaporg's pole arm had pierced through his body, even with his heavy armor.

Viktor gasped, his voice weak. "Did Viktor do good?" he asked breathlessly. He leaned on me for support while Isabel removed the weapon from his body and threw it aside.

"You did well," I whispered to him.

Viktor chuckled faintly. "That's good." He slid off me and collapsed onto the ground.

"Bertha, we need you now!" I shouted urgently. "We need a medic immediately!"

"On my way," Bertha responded promptly.

Isabel took a step forward, growling at Zaporg. "You just won't die, will you?"

Zaporg climbed out of the edge of the crater with a chuckle. "And you failed to kill me." We noticed that he had lost both arms and one leg again; he was leaning on just one leg for support. Four pods emerged from the ground nearby, each containing heavily armed figures who guarded Zaporg closely. “Farewell."

A beam of light descended upon Zaporg as he was lifted into a cloaked aircraft that swiftly flew northward. We watched multiple larger aircraft carriers going in the opposite direction.

"Where are they going, Bertha?" I asked curiously.

"They're heading to Los Angeles," Bertha replied calmly. "Zaporg is making his way to San Francisco."

Miles joined our group and shared some insight: "Los Angeles is just a distraction." The others gathered around us as well. “We will proceed to Los Angeles and meet you in San Francisco.”W

"Give Zaporg hell, Kobayashi," Onon said as he ran past us.
