"See, I told you guys!" Kasai whispered.

"Well then, you were right.  N-not that I doubted you..." Cory muttered with a blush.  Doug elbowed him.

"We gotta act fast!" Katie barked quietly.  "Before we get-"

... a low growl came from behind them.

"...caught..."

Doug growled and went in his wolf form, pouncing at the werewolf behind them, which turned out to be Dokusei.  The two growled and clawed and bit at each other.  However, whenever Doug managed to land a bite, he immediately yelped and let go, whining and pawing his tongue.

Dokusei took the chance and kicked Doug off of her, causing him to let out a yelp of pain.  Sasha jumped and was about to join in, but Kasai stopped her.

"No.  You don't have a real weapon.  Even if you sing her to sleep, the rest of us will be affected too... you'll end up getting killed."

"But I have to help-"

"No!"

Sasha sighed and obeyed as Doug and Dokusei continued fighting.  Dokusei let out a loud howl, and backup came running...

...except for KitKat, which annoyed her.

Kasai hesitated for a moment.  "Streak, do you think you'll be able to get Snow free while the rest of us try to hold everyone off?"

"I won't let ya down!" Streak said, racing into the room to free Snow.

Kasai nodded once before drawing her two swords and attacking the coming enemy.

Sasha was about to join in again, but froze when she recognized one of the fighters.

"Alex!?"

The older siren froze and looked over at her.  "Sasha!"  He rushed over and hugged her tightly.

"What are you doing here!?  I missed you!" she whispered.

"... it's a long story.  What are YOU doing here?"

"My story's too long too..."

"... this doesn't mean we have to be enemies...does it?"  Alex's look turned afraid.

Sasha was about to speak, but was interrupted by a booming, demanding voice.

"ENOUGH!"

Everyone immediately froze and looked at the source of the voice, except for Streak, who was still trying to free the weakened Spirit.

Nuclear came into the scene of the battle.  His eye glowed from under the mask.

"What is going on here?"

Everyone was speechless.  They weren't sure how to answer.

"Well?"

".....we're just trying to stop the intruders!" Lucy spoke up.

"Yeah!  They're the ones that started the fight!" Red shouted.

The other Followers spoke their agreement, except for Dokusei, who couldn't speak for the moment due to being in her wolf form.

Nuclear's eye visibly narrowed at the group.  "Why are you here?"

"... we're here to stop you." Kasai said boldly.  "And rescue Snow."

Alex gave a quick glare at them before looking at Sasha.  "...so that's why."

She looked away before nodding.

Nuclear just glared at Kasai.  "You have made a terrible mistake..."

He was about to attack, but was thrown off by an icy blast.

"AH!"

Everyone looked over to see Snow free and standing in the doorway with Streak standing behind him.

"Do NOT hurt them." he muttered.

The group was frozen from seeing Snow.  Even Zakk didn't have any puns to say.

"Well, what are y'all waiting for?  Let's get outta here!" Streak shouted, racing off.  The others followed, with Snow close behind.

"GET THEM!" Nuclear demanded.  The others raced to follow the group.

There was a loud screech as Ray, Trisha, and Billy dove down from the sky in the way and attacked the Followers, trying to distract them.

Flash and Zakk looked back for a second.  Flash immediately hesitated, but snapped out of it and kept running until they were finally out.
