Another fun tidbit for those of you who actually read this part. The above section was written completely as I sat down. Originally, it was much shorter with just nighthawk's transformation. The below scene was also something thought up while going to work.

Typhoid deposited Bond to the feet of Swan and Fox.

"Don't be too thrilled Bond, you aren't the first guy he's swept off their feet today." Swan took up a more serious pose after he completed his statement.

"What's the game here?" Fox asked as he stood next to Swan.

"There is no game NOW." Typhoid responded as Dylflon joined his partner. "We will let you know up front, we still plan on killing you, but as a threesome not a duo."

"Wait... what?" Fox puzzled directed his question to Typhoid.

"We have decided... as much as it will pain us," Dylflon began slowly the words taking their time to escape his mouth, "that we will assist you in defeating these new entities. ONLY because we want our friend back. After that, the three of you are fair game."

"What's to stop us from taking you two in now and taking care of these four on our own?"

"Should I take this one or do you want it Typhoid?" Typhoid pointed over to Dylflon to confirm that he should answer. "Well let's see for starters... you are heroes and you must always do what is right. So you want to help them as much as it pains you. Two, your new friend over there was seconds away from being part of the scenary. I doubt he would be of much use to you now and frankly I don't think you two have it in you to defeat them on your own."

Fox and Swan had to think about it for a bit, but they came to the same conclusion. As much as they hated to do it, they would need to Coalition's help in dealing with this problem.

"Fine! Fine!" Swan said reluctantly. "What's the plan?"

"Let me try something first." Dylflon attempted to enter the mind's of each member of the Thear army. He never felt so much rage and anger in his life. A part of him loved it. Maybe a bit too much, he could feel their emotions taking over him.

Then he felt a swift slap across the face, and then another. "HEY!"

Swan and Fox gave him the most innocent smiles they could muster. "We were once friends, I remember that look. All too well." Fox shuddered.

"And really any chance for a free smack, I won't pass up." Swan winked at him.

"I'll remember that. Just don't forget as soon as Dyne is free of his control; it's open season on you two again." Dylflon now gave them an evil little grimace that sent chills down their spines. "With that said, we won't be able to reason with these things. They are full of nothing but rage and hatred. Their whole bodies coursing with nothing but pure natural energies."

"Of course, I really want to see this heroic contract... is there some stipulation against making ANYTHING easy for us?"

"Trust me, you folks don't make it easy on our side!"

Fox, Swan, Typhoid,and Dylflon now stood side by side along the bay. Bond was held up by Fox and Swan. His legs still paining him immensely. Their eyes darted around at their four contenders.

"Everyone ready?"

Bube quickly flipped through the book. He landed on a song that seemed so familar. A song he heard so often in his youth. And something told him this was the song he needed to sing.
