The group all looked to the silhouette of their long lost friend with expressions of shock or fear. Dantes looked to all of them and began to laugh evilly. "Oh how ironic fate can be. I never expected that I'd be freed by your doing. I thank you, dearest saviours." He slowly leant down into a mock bow, lowering his head so that they couldn't see his face.

"Treble? Is that you? How are you alive?" Silver asked as he began to grow closer. He stopped as Dantes lifted his head and glared with his glowing crimsion eyes. Hie focus shifted to Hack and Bass who stood with beads of sweat sliding down the sides of their heads.

Dantes began to slowly walk over to them. "Treble is no more..." As he walked out of the shadows the group were able to see his new state. His hair grey and white, his body thinner and taller, his eyes filled with hate and his voice completely changed. "I am Dantes, Dantes Clef. So you can forget about your friend, he's not here anymore." Once he reached the two he stared into Hacks eyes. "Or was he really your friend to begin with?"

Before Hack or Bass could say anything, Hack gasped as he felt a sharp pain in his stomach. Looking down he saw Dantes had stabbed him with a sharp piece of debris. Pulling the object out Dantes kicked Hack down and backed up, keeping his death glare on the traitor. "Treble what the hell are you doing?" Silver demanded as he rushed over to the now bleeding Hack.

"I'm merely giving him a taste of what's to come." Suddenly a black helicopter with the emblem of a red diamond flew over the area and a rope dropped down beside Dantes who grabbed it as the helicopter began to take off. "What you gave to me, I will return to you." Someone dropped an object into Dantes' hand from the chopper. "A one way ticket to oblivion." He pulled the pin on the flash bang and threw it down, blinding the group as it exploded.

Once their sight returned, Dantes was gone and the helicopter was nowhere to be seen. "What the fuck was that?!" Onyx yelled in anger.

"What the hell is going on?!" Silver demanded as he turned to Hack and Bass. "He was talking to you like you knew something, so what the hell has happened to him and how the hell is he still alive?!"

Bass and Casino helped Hack get to his feet as he applied pressure to the wound. "Just get me to a fucking hospital..."

Dantes sat back in his seat as the helicopter flew off towards its destination. "I have to say, you two did an amazing job, I figured you'd just have some mercenary group break me out but that just wasn't good enough for you was it?" He chuckled as he looked to Solid and Mist who were smirking with pride.

"We figured you'd want to send them the right message right at the start." Solid explained as he handed a paper bag over to Dantes. "There, we stopped by Burger King in the way to the chopper, figured you'd need something fattening after eating tiny portions for fourteen years."

"Thank you, I appreciate it, I am extremely hungry." He reached into the bag and pulled out an extra large bacon double cheese burger and began to devour it like a starving animal. One he swallowed the last piece of it Mist handed him a coke as he began to snack on the fries. "So, where are we set up?"

"Five years ago we found an abandoned mansion for sale, and with the money we stole from the Black Cats and the payment from the government for keeping the streets clean we fixed it up and it is now our base of operations, as well as your new home." Solid explained as he munched on some onion rings while Mist took a sip of his own coke. "We'll have more food for you there, as well as a new set of clothes that I think you will like."

"And what of you know who?" Dantes asked with curiousity.

"They're all there, he's been wanting to meet you for a very, very long time."

Dantes finished his meal and stared out at the landscape. "I've been wanting to meet him too."

Meanwhile

Sunchyme sat on the front door step looking up at the sky while Sling sat in her hair doing the same thing as his master. "You have any idea of what's got mom acting so weird Sling?" The girl asked her pet who lowered himself down to her face and shook his head. "Yeah, me neither. I've never seen her like this before. Maybe dad will know what's wrong."

As she said this, she spotted a helicopter flying in the distance and began to feel strange as she stared at it. Shaking her head slightly she tore her gaze away from the chopper and focused on the ground.

As he walked down the street towards his home, Electro Swing felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He stopped and answered the call. "Hey Hack, what's up, you guys get that job done?" He asked with a kind tone.

"Electro this is Bass and Hack! It was a setup! Treble is free! HE IS FREE!!!" Bass exclaimed in a panicked and fearful voice.

Electro froze in place and began to tremble. "What did you just say?"

Sunset suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart as images of the silhouette of Treble began to flash in her mind. "T-Treble..."
