Meanwhile, at the Mountain Lions' transfer station inside the Ballet Twins Hollow.
Jane: Ah-choo! Hmm... somebody must be thinking about me. I wonder who?
Transit Hub Underling: Jane, you're finally back! I've missed you, you know!
Jane: ...Oh, it's you. That's rather disappointing. And this is what you missed, right?
Transit Hub Underling: Ohhh! Alright! "The Port Peak" in HD! And it's the special videotape release with 20 seconds of extra footage... I'm gonna put this on right now!
Jane: Go right ahead. There's lots of thrilling action scenes, and loads of blood and gore with chopped limbs flying around. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
Transit Hub Underling: ...
Jane: Why so quiet all of a sudden? You scared?
Transit Hub Underling: ...Yeah right! It's just, I feel like when we're at work, uh, we should be a little more serious! I'll stand guard a little longer, and then when the others come back I'll... hmm? Hey!
Transit Hub Underling: Hold on! Why did you bring the hostages out again?!
Guard Underling: Ah, J—Jane! You're back! You sure have been working hard. I'm going to take the hostages to the restroom.
Transit Hub Underling: Again? How many times have you taken them already?
Seth: You can only blame yourselves! What do you expect after giving me so much water?!
Transit Hub Underling: Can't you just go in your cell?
Seth: Go in my cell? Have you no shame? Everybody can see!
Guard Underling: Well I go like that all the time... but if I keep doing that our jail won't be very habitable anymore.
Seth: Ahh?! Did you have to go there?
Jane: Haha, fine. Take them out, we can't have our little officer losing his dignity now. Do you need to call a few more guards to go with you? There could be Ethereals lurking around this area.
Guard Underling: No no no, no sweat, Jane. The bathroom isn't far, and besides, I know all the fissures and shortcuts around this part of the Hollow. We'll be right back!

Story Description: Jane catches up to Seth and the underling who betrayed the gang, just ahead of the Mountain Lions. As she's about to reveal her true identity and let them go, Razor shows up with his gang members.


Guard Underling: Huff...! Huff!
Guard Underling: Seth... Did they... really give you muscle relaxants...?
Guard Underling: How did you... manage to run faster than us... the whole way...?
Seth: The thing with muscles is... as long as you're reasonable with them and motivate them, they'll always be able to move!
Guard Underling: In what... universe... does that make any sense...? That's it, I can't keep running...
Seth: No, just keep up! Didn't you just say we're almost at the exit?
Guard Underling: No... we're already here. This... is the exit...!
Seth: Ah, I see! Let's go, people! You two head out first!
Worker: Are... are you sure? But you're weak, officer. Wouldn't it be better if you got out first?
Seth: Don't worry about me. Time is of the essence, and you all need to get out of here — quick!
Worker: *sobbing* Thank you, Officer Seth! If it weren't for you, we definitely would've been...
Seth: All in a day's work for a Public Security officer! C'mon!
Seth: Okay! You're next!
Guard Underling: ...
Seth: What's wrong?
Guard Underling: Seth... Can I... Can I really cross over to the other side? Can I... really start all over again?
Guard Underling: Could someone like me... really get another chance?
Seth: ...That's not for me to decide.
Seth: But if you stay here, you'll never find out!
Guard Underling: ...Thank you, Seth. I...
Jane: Wait—!
Seth: Damn... they caught up.
Guard Underling: You, you... you stay away from me! I'm turning my back on this life of crime, Jane... and you should do the same!
Jane: Shut up and listen! There are other paths you can take...!
Oh? What other paths?
Guard Underling: That voice, it's... it's Razor the Mountain Lion!
A stern voice rings out from behind them. Bustling footsteps and shouts can be heard approaching in the distance... The main forces of the Mountain Lion gang surround them.
Seth: We're surrounded... Just stay behind me.
Razor: The rules of the streets, the rules of the gang, my rules... none tolerate a traitor.
Razor So, Jane... What other paths do they have?
Jane: ...Only surrender, of course. Surrender and submission.
Razor: Hm? According to the rules, traitors should suffer a fate worse than death. But seeing as Jane says so... I'm willing to give a second chance.
Razor: You. Kill the Pubsec scum, and I'll let you off lightly.
Guard Underling: Ahhh?!
Razor: I'll give you three seconds to think it over. Three...
Guard Underling: ...Two, one! I refuse!
The sound of gunfire rings out, and a barrage of bullets fly toward the two of them. Under the relentless suppressing fire, the traitor is quickly captured.
Guard Underling: Ugh!!!
Brawny Underling: Behave yourself, you rotten traitor!
Razor: ...He refused your proposal, Jane. You know what to do next.
Seth: Let me go...! Don't you dare harm him!
Jane: ...
Guard Underling: *cough*...! G—Give me another chance...
Seth: Stop it...! Jane...! Don't do it! You can still turn this all around!
Jane: ...

Jane: Anything else to say?
Guard Underling: I... I...
Guard Underling: I... I wanna start over!
Jane: I know. You will...
Seth: No...!!!
Razor: Don't worry, you're up next
Razor: Jane... What are you doing? You breaking the rules now, too?
Jane: No way, Boss. Just, didn't you say...
Jane: When the time's right, I can become a bodyguard?
Razor: Yeah, so what?
Jane: We Mountain Lions are fierce and unbeatable
Jane: Not even those PubSec idiots can stop us!
Jane: It'd be a waste to get rid of him like this, don't you think?
Razor: What's your point?
Jane: With him here, I think the time has come...
Jane: Let me fight in front of the gang... to prove myself and earn a shot at promotion!
Jane: I propose a duel — in the Lion's Den!
Brawny Underling: Hold it Jane! Don't think you're all that! Only the boss calls the shots!
Jane: Gentlemen, are you still in the dark?
Jane: About the rumors on the streets?
Jane: They say that, in front of PubSec, Mountain Lions are just little scaredy cats~
Jane: Our brothers caught, business stolen...
Jane: Operations ruined, territory shrinking...
Jane: And what did we do in response?
Jane: We ran, we hid, scattered like mice, with our heads down!
Jane: Lions are creatures that hold honor above all
Jane: And this PubSec officer is the perfect opportunity to prove ours!
Jane: Let this duel make it clear to all other gangs!
Jane: We are real lions!
Jane: And not some... scaredy cats!
Transit Hub Underling: B—Boss! I think Jane actually has a point!
Underling: Damn right, Boss! How long have we been pushed around?
Underlings: Lions! We're Mountain Lions!
Underlings: Duel! Let's duel!
Brawny Underling: Go show 'em, Jane! We support you!
Underlings: PubSec is done for! We're the strongest gang!
Underlings: Lions! Lions!
Jane: Well, Razor... what do you say?
Razor: When the Lion's Den is ready... I'll send someone for you.
Razor: Until then... Keep an eye on the cat.
Brawny Underling: You got it, Boss!
Jane: Much appreciated, Boss
Jane: I won't let you down
