"He knows a little English, but he mostly speaks Esperanto." Danny supplies, stepping out from behind Wulf. "Also, hi! Nice outfits."

Meanwhile, Tucker looks out at the other group, blinking in confusion as he sees Viridian, and then...a wide grin crosses his face as he sees Yumi. He almost takes a step forward-

And then Sam stops him dead in his tracks with a Glare. Not a glare, a 'Glare. 'The kind that would bore through a man's skull and through several walls behind him if it were made manifest, and promises pain and suffering if you don't stop whatever you're doing, don't do it, and never think about doing it ever again.

Needless to say, Tucker refrains from taking that step, only muttering, "Oh come on; can't a guy dream?"

Jenny has landed by this point, staring in confusion at the conversing robots and wondering how she ended up in this mess.

"Seems like we'd both like some answers, huh?" Sari remarks, walking up to the robot girl and looking up. Even with Sari being having the body and mind of a teen now, Jenny's still got a foot over her.

So, naturally, when FF and Roxas walk through the door - surprise surprise - they see the Decepticons.

FF stares at the giant robots in awe, taking note of their construction and unique designs. However, her eyes can't help but be drawn to the jet parts on the two larger ones.

Something stirs in her memory. A conversation Jolyne and Ermes had about a show with robots that turned into vehicles...what was it...?

And with Jotaro's suggestion, Philip smiles.

"'Future' worked. I've found what we're looking for, so now..."

He trails off. His expression turns from pleased to shocked, and then to something a bit more worried. Shotaro takes notice of this, and looks at Philip, concerned. "What is it?"

"Someone else is here."

Shotaro's eyes widen and he backs up, letting loose a rapid-fire string of Japanese curses under his breath as he lowers the brim of his hat.

"Wait, what? What the hell does that mean? How bad is it?" Jolyne asks, switching to rough Japanese as she addresses Shotaro.

"I have no idea - anyone else who was able to access the Gaia Library is dead; there can't be..." Shotaro trails off, shaking his head. "Regardless, Philip and I have run into a similar situation before, so we know how to make sure this guy doesn't-"

And then Philip begins to scream as the green glow around him flickers, seeming to turn golden in some spots as he starts to fall.

"Philip!" Shotaro runs to him and catches Philip before he collapses to the ground, starting to swear under his breath again as he pulls out an odd red belt buckle and puts it over his waist, a belt extending from one side and connecting on the other, with an exact duplicate materializing on Philip's waist.

"What's going on? What's happening?" Mayapple asks, worried as she goes over to look over the young teen.

"I don't know!" Shotaro yells in frustration, pulling out a black and purple USB drive. "But I'm damned sure going to find out..."

"JOKER!"

But, before he can do anything with the USB drive, the screaming stops. Philip simply becomes limp, falling unconscious as the glow around him briefly turns fully golden before disappearing.

Silence.

"...so, I think it's safe to assume that the asshole that brought us here just cockblocked us, right?" Jolyne says out loud.
