"You gotta be freakin' kidding me."
Mickey phased through the ceiling, poking his head into the camper van basement. From there, he blankly stared down at Cat. "What? What's up?"
Cat looked up from her phone and set her screwdriver aside. Her supercomputer microwave particle accelerator would have to wait. Trouble was on the horizon. "Yang just texted me. It seems that a certain angry lion has arrived on the island."
"Liam Neeson?"
"Angrier."
"Oh." Mickey fully flew into the basement, touching down and slumping against a wall with a frustrated scowl. "Freakin' Goldwyn. Great conviction, lousy timing."

Rio sighed and banished the fragile canister of unstable atoms he had been handling for Cat. Truth be told, he was happy to put this project on hold, but this alternative situation was no less promising. "Well... great. And I was kind of hoping we were done dealing with that brat."
He paused to take a deep breath, dust his hands off and unroll his sleeves. Then he turned to Cat and asked, "Did she say if anyone was with him?"
----------
Sam trudged along the park's footpath, slouched over, hands in his pockets, ears flat, eyes scanning about in a frustrated scowl. This was taking much longer than he would've liked. Thus far, he'd been searching for forty-five minutes; he had hoped to find the Trio of Three forty-four minutes ago. "God's sake, how hard is it to find a friggin' flying camper van?!"

Yang was just casually walking behind him. "Maybe it's not on the ground this time?" She offered with a shrug.
She was oddly calm despite having threatened Sam only a little over an hour earlier.
> And the angry gremlin has dragged me along. If he keeps bad mouthing you three.... I want to punch him sky high and make sure he's 6 feet under.

"Nope. Didn't say," Cat replied, checking her text messages again. "So there's a pretty strong chance he's by himself."
"Works for me. At least it'll be a short fight," Mickey chuckled as he examined his claws.
"Definitely makes life easier. Heh, who knows? Might be kinda fun to swat him around again. Play a little ping pong."
"Yeah. You do that. I'll film it and make some internet gold."
"Sounds like a plan!" Cat snickered at Yang's latest message, promptly responding...
>> LOLZ. DON'T WORRY ABOUT SAM. I CAN SMACK THAT KITTY SIX WAYS TIL TUESDAY WITHOUT BREAKING A SWEAT. XD

Rio sighed and started walking upstairs. "Personally, I'd prefer if we avoided a fight altogether. Regardless of whatever sort of threat Sam is at least attempting to present, in our current situation, this feud is simply not worth the effort. It's... Well, it's getting old and frustrating!"
He had to stop himself from reminding Cat and Mickey what happened the last time they fought Sam. They knew. And try as she might to hide it, Rio knew that Cat was still mortified by it.
----------
"I'm looking on the ground, I'm looking in the sky, I'm looking everywhere!" Sam insisted, letting out his anger in a calming sigh. "I just... I'm kinda nervous. I have a lot of pent-up frustration and resentment, and if I'm gonna let it out, I wanna let it out proper."

"You nervous? You've got to be lion. A proud being like you- nervous because of three misfits? Say it isn't so," Yang offered. Mentally she cringed at the pun. Noting it as one of her worst.
She looked to her Scroll once more and snickered reading Cat's reply.
> Okay. But leave some for me.

"Rio, dude, you know I agree with you there. I'm sick of putting up with Sam's bull honkey as much as anyone." Cat put her phone away and whipped out Goldenhand, twirling it between her fingers. "But hey, all the more reason to make this quick, 'cause the fight's on its way."
Mickey blew a lock of hair out of his face and floated up the stairs behind his partners. "In that case, shall we prepare to welcome our guest?"
"Indubitably."

Rio sighed and nodded. "I guess I shouldn't have expected less. Might as well track him down, see how close he is to our location..."
While the two anthros prepared for the coming storm, Rio sat down on the living room floor and closed his eyes, a yellow divination circle lighting up beneath him. He would be ready for Sam. He'd see him coming. But he didn't have to like it.
----------
Sam groaned. "Look, I'm just saying that my last couple encounters with this maniacs were... not too pleasant, to say the least. I don't want to repeat my mistakes, and I certainly don't want them repeating theirs. Trust me, when I see Cat, I'm gonna shove-"
He did a double-take when he noticed a familiar vehicle parked in the middle of the field off in the distance. "AHA!" He quickly sprinted towards it, hungry for retribution.

Yang ran after the lion. Surprisingly keeping pace with him.
"Looks like a normal camper van to me," she offered still playing dumb. "Maybe a little rodded out but nothing odd looking here."

"You do that, Rio." Cat sat down on the couch, nonchalantly swiping Goldenhand across the open air. "Monotonous as this feud may be, at least it's a constant potential source of amusement."
"Quite," Mickey agreed as he stood by the door and prepped his electro-gun. "Although, just so we're clear... if he touches anything in here, I have full permission to feed him his own scarf."
"I won't argue with that. As long as I get to smack his keister flatter than William Hung."
"As you wish."

Rio's eyes quickly snapped open. He only had to search for a minute before he saw Sam charging their way. "He's here. He'll be on our doorstep in a few seconds!"
----------
"I'd know that camper van anywhere!" Sam insisted as he charged onward, arm extended as he prepared to grab the doorknob. "It's them, alright! It's finally time I-!"
Sam grabbed the camper door and through it open. On the other side, he was immediately greeted by Cat, Rio and Mickey, respectively pointing Goldenhand, abjuration magic and the electro-gun right in his face.
"Um..." Sam leaned back, his expression completely blank. "Hi, guys. Long time, no see."

Yang snickered. "Hey Cat. Hey Mickey. Hey Rio," she offered with a cheeky tone. "So how's Vanessa doing?"
The casualness in her voice pretty much said where her alliance was.

"Heya!" Mickey responded in a cheerful tone completely at odds with the hostile image. He smirked at Yang and patted the camper's door frame. "Vanessa's doing mighty fine, thank you, and I'd prefer if this little king of the urban jungle would keep his paws off her."
"Seriously, even when we get stuck in another dimension, we still can't keep you off our backs," Cat muttered, teasingly jabbing Goldenhand against Sam's nose. "So what's the deal this time? More swordplay? Name-calling? Or can I just cut to the chase and swat you to Bonsai and back?"

"Umm..."
"Seriously, Sam, you should just go. You have bigger fish to fry than us," Rio stated sternly. "Believe me when I say that I've tried, and there's no way back to the World. We were all dropped here via some rip in the space-time continuity. But seeing as how we've seen news reports from home showing us in scenarios we haven't been in yet, I have reason to believe that we'll be sent back just as serendipitously as we were brought to the island at the exact time that we left."
Cautiously, Rio stepped out of the camper and lowered his arms, though the magical energy in his hands did not fade. "So let's all just calm down... and put this feud on hold. Best to leave these matters in the World, where they belong."
"Ummm..." Sam looked at Cat, then Mickey, then Yang, then Rio. "Okay, you're the smart one, so I'm willing to take that theory with a grain of salt. However, the situation I'm in now isn't any less- HA!"
From out of Sam's phone came a metallic whip that he proceeded to swing at the Trio of Three... only for a blue abjuration shield to easily block it before it could touch any of them.
Rio just stared at Sam like a disapproving father. "Seriously?"

Yang glared. A quick whirl of gears later and her forearms were covered in yellow metal gauntlets.
"Sam. I will launch you off this island and into the void," was her warning as a distinct reloading noise that sounded similar to that of a shot gun rang out.
