Ace and Joe hopped onto the closest train. "I hope this takes us straight to Z.P.D." Ace said as he sat down on a nice squishy seat on the train. Joe looked around, and saw there was nobody on the train. Every single cart was empty.

   "Ace, nobody is on the train. It's completely empty." Ace got up and quickly looked around. Joe looked out of the window and saw a green rocket flying straight towards them. "Ace a rockets head straight towards us!" Ace looked out the window and saw the rocket. 

   "It's huge! With that size it can destroy this entire train!" Joe grabbed Ace and ran to the front of the train. 

   "Where's the conductor?" 

   "Looks like he jumped out. Look the emergency exit is open." Ace said as he began to look at the controls of the train. "The controls are destroyed. This was meant as a trap. We have to jump when there's water below us." The train roared as it began to go faster and faster. "We need to time it just right, or else splat!" Ace poked his head out of the train. "There's water up ahead, on three!" Joe stood beside Ace. "One!" The rocket was a few feet away from the train. "Two!" the rocket made contact with the train. "Three!" As the rocket exploded Ace and Joe jumped out of the train and landed safely into a pool of water.

   "Where are are we now?" Joe said once he popped up from the water. Ace swam to shore and looked around. Ace stopped, turned around, and smiled. 

   "I know exactly where we are. Mystic Springs Oasis. I saw it on the way over to the hotel. It's a naturalist group." Joe quickly closed his eyes. "What? There's nothing wrong with it. You want me to guide you out?" Joe nodded his head quietly. Ace took Joe's giant paw and began to lead him out. Ace saw elephants, panthers, bunnies, he saw many individuals that were all participating in different activities. "Joe, we're almost to the exit. We just have to cross a small bridge and exit through the front." 

   "O.K, as long as we're almost out." Ace took Joe on the bridge, while Joe carefully carried the Nighthowler cargo in his free hand. 

   "Joe, have you ever wondered what would happen if everyone in this society when savage except for a select few? What would happen then?" Joe shuddered at the thought. 

   "I suppose we would need to get the cure." 

   "Yeah, we would need to first cure the people who made the cure, so we can make more." Ace and Joe were now at the door to enter the front lobby. "I wounder who would be able to pull it off if it were to happen." Joe opened his eyes and looked down at Ace. 

   "So this is the exit?"

   "There's a person running the desk." Joe closed his eyes again. And Ace lead him through the front desk and out of the Oasis. "Here we are." Joe opened his eyes to see Sahara Square. 

   "So how long do think it'll be until we reach Z.P.D?" Ace pulled out his phone.

   "If I'm correct in this assumption, if we follow this trail we can be at a train that goes straight to Z.P.D. In at least an hour." Joe put down the crate.

   "Can we take a short brake?" Ace looked at his phone.

   "Sorry Joe, but the next train comes in an hour, so we need to go now. Before the enemy can find us." Joe picked the crate back up. "Here we go." Ace and Joe started a long hike along a rode that left them completely exposed, but with the lack of cover they would be able to see the enemy coming." 

   "Ace, are you sure this is a good idea being out in the open like this?" 

   "If the enemy comes we can see them, so we will know when and where to take cover." Joe nodded and kept walking forward. Ace and Joe continued to walk for what seemed to be hours, but was only 45 minutes. "Only a little farther." Joe looked all around him and squinted looking behind him. A large black mass was headed towards them. 

   "Ace look behind us!" Ace turned around and saw the mass, it looked like a black gooey substance that was rushing towards them. 

   "Run!" 

   "What is that?" Joe shouted. Suddenly a huge gust of wind began blowing at Ace and Joe.

   "Heck if I know!" Ace shouted back. "Whatever it is, it isn't good!"
