The bridge was completed fairly quickly, the final symbol of the new alliance between the two groups.

CHAPTER SEVENTY-ONE OF DOOM
"Caitlyn!" Fred called out. "Rune! Roy!"

None of the rest of Team Triangle responded, so Fred continued through the train station and called out again. "Caitlyn! Rune! Roy!"

In lieu of a response, a huge beast jumped through and landed on Fred. It looked like... a lion, only bigger. Fred reached into his pouch and grabbed a single sphere. "Ékri̱xi̱!"

The lion fell off of him and Fred started to move. The lion chased him through the station, held back only by the occassional explosion.

"Lion..." Fred realized. "You're the one who messed up Noatak, aren't you?"

At that point, the man who had removed the glue was now watching and even coming closer. "What exactly is happening here?"

"Nothing much," Fred said sarcastically. "Kitty over here is probably connected to a cyclops named Trachius. And I'm guessing my teammates are around here."

The man took on a surprised expression at Trachius's name, then nodded. He took from inside his shirt a sword - the same one that Fred had seen him with earlier - and held it near the lion. "Now, you just back off," he said.

The lion looked at him in a mix of anger and... something else... before moving away from Fred and toward the other man.

"Oh, no you don't," Fred said. "Ékri̱xi̱!"

The lion looked back at Fred, torn between the man with the blade and the one with the explosives. Fred didn't give it time to think about it and tossed more explosive spheres at it.

"Um, I think that may be a bit much-" the man said, just as one last sphere landed on the train tracks with a loud explosion. Then he sighed. "Well, there goes any trains leaving here in the near future." Everyone else in the station agreed with loud booing.

"Hey, Nemean lion, people!" Fred reminded them. "Like you've never blown up something important fighting a monster!"

"Actually, most of us haven't," the man said. "We usually just slice or smash something important. Explosives are not the most common form of weaponry in the world."

"Well, sorry about the train," Fred said. "I'll try and make it up to you."

"Thank you," the man said. "First though, let's find your teammates and, presumably, Trachius."
