Flame was no stranger when it comes to training anyone, it's been over an hour since he encountered General Gunnolf and his other-self. It wasn't his favorite moments of that experience but he's glad he isn't the only Flame that remains within the multiverse.

Truth be told, Flame never sees himself as a royal prince from his erased-universe. He never sees himself as a king or a prince in that matter, it wouldn't fit his character at his current age. Flame just finished doing multiple push-ups and sits up, just to warm up his body to start training with Kudo and Abbi.

In his room, nothing much changed there, well except for the tv and the family photo up to his wall. Flame last created a photo portrait from the past based on his memories with magic. It may not look accurate but to him, no matter if it's perfect or bad, it is still good in his image.

He knows he got to continue training Kudo and Abbi, but there's a bigger issue that might conflict with it. Flame knows this by a fact, he hopes he gets the training session finished before Hydra arrives to cause destruction and chaos to this dimension. He hopes that Abbi and Kudo made it back with good news about the Crawlers, he hasn't heard of them for an hour. Flame has no time to waste.

Flame thought, "With all the preparation against Hydra being ready, I am worried about Kudo and Abbi, hope they made it safely."

Using his speed to head outside the training area, nobody was there, it was empty. The wind was blowing, silence was the only thing he hears. This was giving him bad vibes, Flame decided to sit at the bench that is still there and just wait. He can see a lot of mewman's, Star, and Flare building the base for the mewman's to stay in during the attack. It wasn't finished, they have the materials they needed, it's just Flare has to do a few maths to calculate how many mewman's can fit in the base from the blueprint.

"They're doing alright, just hope the base is strong enough to withstand an attack from Hydra."

Flame thought to check on Abbi's and Kudo's notes while he's waiting for them, so he wanted to see what notes they added during their last training session. What Flame sees got him impressed, the notes were perfectly written well in words he can understand. He was proud of them, they had the potential to be great fighters like him.

It was early evening in Mantle, inside the spacecraft, Rush and Yang were inside the spacecraft alongside Grag Rog. They were on a mission to track Robyn and the Happy Huntress from Mantle. This wasn't an easy decision for Rush nor Yang to agree to this, but Grag was given orders by Ironwood to bring the two for their search.

Rush sighed, "Now that I think about it, I don't think this is a good decision."

"Look pal, I understand the situation in Mantle. I was given orders to take you two with me." Grag Rog explained.

"I am going to ask you something, what for?" She asked.

"You two will be bait-"

Rush interrupted Roger and gasped, "Wait wait wait! Bait!?"

"Got a problem with that?" He asked.

It remains quite a bit, Rush was not liking this a single bit. Yang looks at Rush, his expression shows he is nervous, teeth are gritted, and sweating a little.

"Yes, and it's his choice to not like that idea. Rush told me what happened when he and the others were captured, why didn't you tell Ironwood about Salem? About Jinn?"

The bounty hunter takes a moment after hearing that question, it's been days since they arrived in Atlas but yet he hasn't told him the truth. But truth to be told what'll happen if he did tell Ironwood.

The bounty roger replied, "I haven't planned when or how I'll explain it to James, I can't just approach him about it without a plan."

"I kinda get what you're saying."

"I just don't want to lose his trust, I got this job years ago. I..."

Before Grag Rog could say a sentence, Rush lay a hand on his shoulder.

"Look man, there isn't much option left since the election, no matter which path we go, that will lead to the fate that was destined to happen. Keeping secrets is one of the hard choices they had to make, do I agree with it? No, but I can understand why they do it, but they will see the consequences. This is why I'll be there for them to make sure their consequences are justifiable, the same goes for you. When we become friends or even family, we stick together and don't leave others behind. Together, we'll be strong."

Grag Rog was amazed at how brave and honest Rush was, even for the tone of his voice, other than Flame, he sees Rush might have experienced the same fate as he had in the past. He chuckled.

"W-Wow, thank you for the comfort. I really need that to motivate myself." marveled Grag Rog.

"Heh, no problem man. Sorry if I... speak like that, it feels weird honestly without mixing any words up."

"Nah, I think you did well."

Rush could smile at Yang's comment, as he is about to let the bounty hunter be. He has come up with a resolution to this, "Actually, I have a perfect idea."

"What idea could that be?" Rush asked.

Grag Rog explained, "I am going to send coordinates on Robyn and the Happy Huntress, I want you to not do anything bad, just tell them to come in my spacecraft peacefully, and no harm will do. Does that sound clear?"

They both looked at each other for a second about this idea, they nodded to Roger's idea. "Good, be ready for a minute. I'll send in the coordinator to where they are."

In the Whispering Woods, Earth-314 Flame and Earth-5 Crash are heading their way to where the loud sound is coming from. The trios are following the two from behind, the trees are still regenerating from an unknown event that happened, they are going in different directions, coming from Flame's spider-sense ability.

Crash still couldn't stop thinking about that flashback he just had, he tries to not make any expression that shows he's thinking about the flashback, not around Earth-314 Flame. As they continued to walk in the direction where the loud sound was coming from, they stopped as soon as the Earth-314 Flame stopped and hid behind a tall tree. They see Tyrannus was attacking one of the horde bots in the bacon tower, despite the numbers of the horde bots.

Tyrannus managed to get ahead of them, the bots retreated as he chased after them. Crash can see black smoke in the nearby forest, he could tell that's the explosion that made the loud sound. Earth-5 Crash zips to the black smoke nearby with his speed, this is without Earth-314 Flame noticing him.

As Crash searched around the places, he came across two princesses, Glimmer and Frosta, that took down one of the horde bots that ambushed them. Quickly hide in the bushes, Crash notices they are looking for something inside the bots, but for what? He quietly goes to another bush to get a better look at what's inside the horde bots, Crash couldn't make out what it is, but he thinks it's important.

"What do you think it is?" Frosta questioned.

"I don't know, maybe it's the First One's tech, who knows, but whatever it is, it's definitely bad news from the Horde." Glimmer responded.

They suddenly heard a roar from Tyrannus as the horde bots still attacking the dinosaur.

"We should quickly meet the others before more will come."

"Yeah, good idea. I'll definitely show Bow what I've found."

Glimmer was holding the head of the bot, as she places her hand at Frosta's shoulders and teleports back to where the others are. Crash managed to hear the conversations, maybe he thinks it's important for him to hear and tell them that information, as he gets out of the bush, he sees the others are looking for him. Crash looks back at each of the horde bots, he remembers seeing what Glimmer did to get the head of the bot.

The professor asked, "May I ask what you're doing, Crash?" Earth-5 Crash didn't bother looking back and focuses on this.

"In this machine, there are two girls, and one of them has the head of those machines. Whatever they are, they must be important if the girls have it." Crash(Earth-5) explained.

"I mean, what could possibly be important for these machines? What makes them special?" Tiger questioned about what Crash is doing.

Crash(Earth-5) answered, "The sparkle girl mentioned something called First One's tech, but I don't know what that is."

"That sounds like a new concept for me to hear that. Perhaps this First One's tech is what is empowering this machine." P.Dark articulated.

"What makes them rare anyway?" Tiger asked.

"Maybe the professor could study this First One's tech," Sinon remarked.

They started to think about this, Earth-314 Flame was interested in this First One's tech he heard. It does give him questions regarding the place they're in, it's been minutes and Crash managed to get the head of the bot, sigh in relief, they decided to take off so Dark can study on this First One's tech.

Tiger asked, "But the question is, where could we study it?"

There's an issue with that, they haven't found a base to stay in. Before they could say something, Earth-314 Flame had something in mind.

"There's one place we can study in." Flame(Earth-314) responded.

Sinon asked, "And where could it be?"

"Follow me!"

They all followed where Earth-314 Flame is heading to. It isn't far away from where they are, taking them a minute or so to make it to the abandoned OGN's base. They stopped, they are back at the entrance.

"That's... no way..." P.Dark faltered.

"What is it?" Crash(Earth-5) asked.

"This place, I thought... we must head in quickly." blurted P.Dark.

He quickly runs inside the entrance, they were surprised at how Dark reacted so they followed him towards the entrance.

It's been hours since Flame waited for Abbi and Kudo, he was reading some of their notes lately. Flame was enjoying the great view of Mewmans, Star, and Flare continued building the base, ¼ of the base is close to being finished. They are about to take a break after this, Flame puts down their notes to where they are, he begins to warm up again, Flame is still going to hold back and show them the next step. Just at the right time, Abbi and Kudo made it just in time for their training.

"We're here, Flame." Abbi announced.

"Sorry if we're late, it was a long trip." Kudo apologize.

"It's no problem, glad you are here." Flame finished his warm-up, both Kudo and Abbi sat down at the bench. He was ready for their training.

"Alright, today's training session is part three of focusing during the battle, this is the last part for focusing on the battle before the next session. In battle, we must focus and observe the opponent's movement and how they fight so you guys can predict your opponent's next move." Flame explained.

Kudo and Abbi were taking notes from what Flame is saying for this session, Flame explains more in-depth about this session, this is going to be a well-interesting training session for them. It took Flame minutes to explain the session.

"Alright, with that done, Kudo, I want you and Abbi to spare each other, make sure to observe your next move and your movement. What matters is working together as a teammate, remember that."

They both yelled out, "Right!"

In the abandoned OGN's base at the admin room, Dark was checking all the remaining working computers why this base was there at the Whispering Woods. He didn't know anything about OGN building a base in this universe, as Sinon and Tiger were just looking at the large platform screen, and Earth-314 Flame was just relaxing a bit at one of the chairs, same as Earth-5 Crash.

Tiger asked the professor, "Any progress?"

"All those files... it seems they left this base from an accident decades ago." P.Dark clarified.

"What kind of accident?" Sinon questioned.

The professor responded the best he can, "I am still figuring that out, so far, these docs and files are the only things that are accessible."

"You know this place?" Crash(Earth-5) asked.

"Kinda, it's been a long while since I was in an OGN base." He responded.

"OGN?" asked Flame(Earth-314).

Before the professor could answer Flame's question, the large platform screen started to flicker and show a map of this universe. They all just looked at the large cracked screen, it shows two red dots that are located in the oceans, one is dubbed "Hydra" and another is dubbed "Godzilla," they are here in this world.
