Jim's question would be promptly answered, but not by anybody within earshot...
A faint rumbling shook the ground underneath everyone's feet as, in the distance, a large smoke cloud rose from the center of Smash City. Screams and sirens could be faintly heard, carried to the outskirts on the wind.

 "Uh-oh." Peter said as he idly glanced over towards the smoke. "A pile of smoke, why did it have to be a pile of smoke." Peter cleared his throat. "Um, Jim. We're new in the area, so maybe it wouldn't be a good idea to jump to any wild conclusions about that apparent fire over there." 8 |

Why must Peter try?  Snapping to the edge of the rooftop, Jim pointed at yonder... so dramatically, his finger made a whip sound. "By the Great Worm Spirit whose sacred worm slime cleans those hard to clean stains on your t-shirts...TROUBLE CALLS!!!!!" Zipping back to the gang, Jim pulled out and mounted his Pocket Rocket. "Come!! We shall tackle this unknown evil head on!!!" Without a word to Peter, and picked him up and dropped him to a seat behind him. "Because seriously, what else are we gonna do?"  Rolling her eyes, the princess merely jumped a seat behind Peter. "Oh whatever! You guys are my ride out of here, anyways." After flashing a charming smile to his 'beloved' Jim glanced at Slippy... |

 Slippy's eyes darted from the rising cloud of smoke to Jim and back again. He wasn't exactly afraid of whatever was causing the rumbling (well, okay... maybe a little!), but he really just wanted to contact Peppy and report back to the Great Fox ASAP. Following this worm around all day was not what he had in mind. "Oh! Uh... You can go on without me, Jim," the toad insisted, "thanks again for helping me back there, but I really need to meet up with the rest of my team as soon as I can. I'm sure you can handle whatever's going on by yourself, right?" Please say 'yes'. Please say 'yes'. Please say 'yes'... |

The mutant worm smirked, rubbing his chin. "Weeeelll..." If Slippy were to hear his communication gear...  "Slippy? Slippy, are you there? Rob informed me you're close by! I'm down by city hall, and incase you didn't notice, Samus let out her anger in a BIG way! I'll need your help digging out the bodies, pronto! Over!" |

Peter sighed defeatedly and leaned on his hand. "Back to cleaning the festering entrails of malevolence doth we traverse to victory." |

Hearing his communicator suddenly spring to life, Slippy quickly pulled it out and answered. "I hear ya loud and clear Peppy!" he replied, "I'll be there as soon as I can!" It seemed as though fate wanted him to stay with Jim just a little bit longer. Oh well... At least it wasn't anything scary (well, okay, woman's wrath was scary, but it was a different kind of scary), and he could leave with Peppy from there. "Well, it looks like I'll be going with you after all," the toad explained to the worm, "nothing 'evil' going on, but... Let's just say someone has an 'explosive' temper." He quickly eyed the infamous Pocket Rocket. "... It's not very far away. I'll walk." |

"NONSENSE!!!" Before Slippy knew it, Jim plucked him and set him right on the rocket. "We shall help ride you to duty much quicker this way!!" With that, after his rocket reeled back, it blasted like lightening over the city, heading for the point of the blast. |
