The group, having left the circus, makes their way to a nearby town in the desert. The group, seeing the town, stop before the entrance and leaves the Mekanimals to rest for a while. Zafira looks up to the sign with the towns name, Megawatt town. "This town better have something to cool us off!" Says Ruby, who finds the heat unbearable. "I take it you've never been to a desert before Ruby." Tuga says smugly. "Very funny. I don't how humans can tolerate this heat let alone live in it. I swear my pistons are going to give up any moment." Ruby replied. "Perhaps this town is close to a water source. Only reason anyone would build a town in the desert." Zafira says trying to deescalate thing. 

Just then, Zafira and Tuga see a familiar face in the distance. "Hey Gregor!" Tuga shouted, getting his attention. "Tuga! Zafira! I haven't seen you two in weeks. I see you've made a friend since then." Says Gregor, hold a stack of posters. "Gregor, this is Ruby Windrider. We met them in a circus along with their Stormtalon." Says Zafira as Ruby waves hello to Gregor. "I'm just glad to know you're alright. Especially considering the incident that happened there." Gregor says. Zafira and Tuga mention the involvement of the Ironclaw raiders and of one member in particular, Sebal. Gregor recommends that the group sit out the current investigation. "People have been going missing recently. If this "Sebal" is involved somehow, its best if you grab some suppies and leave this town. Let the professionals handle this one." Gregor says in a worried tone before putting up more missing posters on the board.

The next morning, the group discuss on how to find the missing people. Tuga suggest using their Mekanimals to find the missing people. "Considering out Mekanimals have better senses then us, Tuga does have a point on this one." Says Zafira, agreeing with Tuga. Ruby suggests that Vermilla can search from the sky while Neo and Torta can search from the ground. Coming to an agreement, the group splits up and begins searching. Tuga asks around for information while Zafira relies on Neos sense of smell to track any traces of the missing people. Ruby uses Vermillas eyesight to search for any clues about what happened. Just then, Neo picks up a scent and follows it to a strange looking pharmacy. "I take it you two know something is up with this pharmacy." Says Gregor, riding on the back of Goron. "I mean... yeah. For one thing, since we have universal healthcare and with medical advances have been more frequent, there's really no need for pharmacies like this anymore. Also if it was legit, Neo wouldn't be picking up the scent of one person." Zafira says looking at the pharmacy. Gregor and Zafira agree that this pharmacy is likely fake. Zafira contacts Tuga and Ruby about the pharmacy and tells them the location. Zafira and Neo proceed to enter the building with Gregor and Goron.

 

Zafira and Gregor enter the pharmacy, searching for any clues. They see a passageway going underneath the building. Underneath the building where cages filled with people, the missing people. Zafira and Gregor tried to help the people when they suddenly get ambushed by Neoraptor. Neo and Goron fight the Neoraptors, buying Zafira and Gregor enough time to evacuate the civilians. Neo bites the Neoraptors and throws them around while Goron pummels the raptor into the ground. The Neoraptors, seeing they are out matched, run away from the Neorex and Titanokong. One Neoraptor splits from the pack and runs near a pool of water in the center of the room. "Somethings not right. Why were there no guards near the cages?" Asks Gregor, noticing how easy the evacuation was. Before Zafira could respond, a large splash followed by a set of massive jaws clamps down on the Neoraptor. The beast drags the raptor into the water leaving bioluminescent blood where the raptor used to be. "Well, well. What do we have here?" Says Copperhead as the beast rises from the water. "Such a shame you let my crocs food run off like that. One the plus side, your Mekanimals will do just fine. Ironjaw, there them to shreds!" Copperhead said as Ironjaw release a furious, hunger fueled roar.
