Friendly reminder: Both the rest of this arc, and the next one will be in first person P.O.V. from Scootaloo's perspective.

Beyond Earth Era: Triple Threat Chaos - Consequences

General Hightop and Aaron were both informed about what Zapper had done. The two were with Rob in some kind of meeting now.

"I really don't see what the big deal about removing the protection spear thing is about." Zapper said.

"Expert's records show that the protection spear is meant as a warning system in case evil goes near a location." Deca said.

"...Oh. Then be honest, how bad is it?" Zapper asked.

"Deca, how long has it been since the meeting began?" I asked.

"About three hours, give or take." Deca said.

Soon, Rob came out, but said nothing before he went off. "...Wonder if they've stopped?" Zapper asked.

"Doubt it. I can sense Rob is heading for Expert's lab which he has at least connected to the JHF building via a tunnel that requires a passcode to use. Rob has his own passcode to use for said passageway." Deca said.

"Guessing Rob's grabbing Expert then." I said. Rob soon came back with Expert, before they both went into the meeting room.

"You would be guessing right. I bet this is about the Protection Spears." Zapper said.

"So yeah, I'd say not good." I said. "I'll be shocked if your even allowed to continue being a JHF member after this."

A bit later, Expert left back to his lab. It took an additional two hours before the meeting finally ended.

"Let me just state this for the record: I was afraid something like this could happen at the end of the day." General Hightop said.

"Thankfully for the JHF, Rob assured us that this kind of action has it's consequences should it happen." Aaron said. "Rob has said that whenever a JHF member acts out like this, he'll personally see to the punishment of said member. After all, this sort of emotional outburst will not go unpunished."

"Which brings us to what the UNA represenatives have decided, and we agree should happen." Rob said. "Zapper, you are to get your things packed and move out of the JHF building by the end of the week; your membership is being terminated immediately."

"I called it." Scootaloo said.

"While I could excuse the occasional emotional outburst and give the JHF members a warning with some a punishment to try and ensure that such behavior is known to not be tolerated, you went beyond simply throwing a temper tantrum." Rob said.

"Rob assures us that regardless of what you could say in your defense, in your outrage over the Thunder Chief's behavoir, you had destroyed JHF property. And that has no excuse." General Hightop said.

"I don't care how mad you got with the Thunder Chief, you still dislodged the Protection Spear and threw it off the islands. I highly expect that when the spear hit the ground, it was broken." Rob said. "Such destruction of property will not be tolerated no matter what reason there is behind it. So I am personally terminating you from the JHF."

"Oof..." Zapper said.

Just then, Dr. Krono came running towards the group. "I found Dalfino's current hide out. That so called 'doctor' has a base on a mountain that overlooks the UNA's HQ building. If that's not a serious threat to the UNA, then I don't know what is." Dr. Krono said.

"The UNA must take action against this, but Dalfino has not been causing any trouble. We don't know what he's up to." General Hightop said.

"Then I'll go scout his lab. If I get attacked just for stepping foot into it, then I do have the right to defend myself." Rob said.

"That's true. If your only going to go look around there, and you get attacked for it, then that would be seen as a violent reaction to a non-violent action. At which point, self-defense would be auto-authorized so long as you don't go crazy." General Hightop said.

"Someone has to go with him then. I volunteer." I said.

"But that'll leave Zapper alone with Jester. And while I can trust Jester to stay behind here by himself, I don't know if Zapper should be here if neither Rob nor Scootaloo are here to keep an eye on him to make sure there's not further destruction of property." Aaron said.

"Hey, I'm only going to be getting my stuff is all." Zapper tried to defend.

"Trust not authorized. Scootaloo, your going to keep a close eye on Zapper to make sure he doesn't do any more funny business." General Hightop said.

"Phooey." Zapper said.

"That's what you get for ignoring me when I told you not to do anything with the spear." I said.

"Speaking of, since you did warn him not to mess with it, you not going to get punished Scootaloo. That was the easy decision to come to." Rob said.

"True, Expert confirmed that Deca recorded the incident in full. Which allowed us to see the incident in quesiton." Aaron said.

"Great job at keeping your cool by the way." General Hightop said.

"Err...thanks." I said.
