[color=gray]"Well, we gotta finish 'em first then. I have potions, so it should be fine."[/color] Steven said, pushing into the bush to spy again. [color=gray]"Actually, wait a sec."[/color]

As Steven watched, the leader led the remainder to his group onto a nearby mysterious helicopter.

[color=gray]"Huh, where are they going?"[/color] Steven wondered aloud.

Steven was a little confused. The team had just suddenly left, leaving their men behind, which made no real sense to Steven. He hadn't seen any signs of hesitation at all. Did they think nothing of their men? That couldn't be the case, because Steven's plan had worked. Obviously, they would've cared.

Nevertheless, team Nexus was gone for now. Steven's objective was technically completed. Despite that, Steven felt bummed out for missing out on a possible fight with someone who wasn't a complete chump.

Steven retreated from the bushes and caught up to Alex as Tim also appeared and landed on Steven's head. Queen bumbled to his side, slightly confused as to the result. Steven put a reassuring hand on his new friend, gently patting the combee.

[color=gray]"You did good, Queen."[/color]

Queen buzzed contentedly and Tim cooed in approval.

[color=gray]"Anyway,"[/color] Steven said, turning to Alex. [color=gray]"For some reason, the remaining guys just got on a helicopter, and I have no idea why."[/color]

They could see the helicopter now, before it flew off into the distance. Steven stared at it as it went off, still wondering why they left as he talked.

[color=gray]"I mean, they left their guys behind."[/color] Steven said, gesturing towards the unconscious grunts. [color=gray]"What's up with that?"[/color]
