As Kenzo sat there kneeling in the sand, the noise of feathers rustling was heard, he looked up to see Miss bird circling them in the sky. Before he could react, Miss bird dove down and started pecking at Kenzo.





Using this as a distraction, Shay got up and ran over to the boardwalk where she saw Kenzo had dropped his gun earlier.


Now that Kenzo was also covered in blood from all the pecks, Miss bird left him and flew over to Shay.


Hopping on Missbird's back, the two walked over to where he was. Shay had her gun aimed at him shakily.


"SO IT IS YOU- HOW DISGUSTING YOU CAN TURN INTO A HUMAN?! JUST SHOOT ME ALREADY GET IT OVER WITH!", Kenzo yelled.


"No- buh bye!", Shay waved as they took off into the sky.


Feeling the pain now from her injuries, Shay passed out holding onto Missbird.


Back at Limon's property, he was dealing with a different problem as he could sense the people crowding around the gates. 


In his lookout tower he crouched down and refilled a stealthy looking gun with bullets he engineered himself.


"Perla- I need you to get the cousins together, we've got to end this once and for all, where are you and Shay? I'm up in the lookout tower here on my first property I can see them crowding around the gates-", Limon whispered sternly as he clutched 7 the transponder snail.


"Huh? Are they actually going to try again? And Limon I'm in my office doing paperwork, Shay left my side to do some shopping- I gave her a gun though", Perla replied, 7's mouth moved according to her words.


"WELL STOP- COME HERE NOW! BRING EVERYBODY- AND DON'T TELL MY MOM..", Limon sternly whispered.


"Shit shit shit-", Limon cursed as he hung up the phone.


"Your buttons all say 7 but you work just fine- funny", Limon mumbled as he spoke to the snail.


"Stay here- don't move! The kid will kill me if something happens to you", Limon grumbled as he put 7 in a box with holes under the small desk in the lookout tower.


Poking the gun out from the window, Limon made it rain down bullets on the crowd, but missing on purpose, they were now scattering, trying to figure out where he was shooting from.





Back at Perla's office, after getting this call she immediately dropped everything and ran outside. Missbird was there outside her office, carrying a now actually limp Shay on her back, but Perla didn't know this, all she saw was a strange human girl.


 Gently, Missbird placed Shay on the ground with one wing. Perla ran over to them and assessed the situation worriedly.


"Missbird there you are! Where is Shay?", Perla asked.


At this missbird used her beak to point to Shay on the ground.


"No.... It can't be..", Perla gasped, putting two and two together.


"The curly hair, the necklace.... oh my it is her!", Perla thought.


As Perla reached over to check for Shay's pulse, the teen gasped deeply and stood up.
