The Imprisoned Ones, Part 1

"Alright, you wretched dregs of society!" the guard shouts. "Get your repulsive rear ends out of your cells and out in the yard!"

The triplets, Tic, Tac, and Toe, walk in single file behind Hammer, whose large arm is restrained by a clamp that keeps it at his side. The four of them make their way to the courtyard of Planet Mathule's Maximum Security Prison.

Planet Mathule is mostly open grassland, with only a few major cities scattered here and there. The prison, therefore, is stuck in the middle of one of those large grasslands, far from civilization.

The triplets and Hammer enter the courtyard with several other convicts. The four Sinful Ones gather at a tiny picnic table, where reptilian member Lacertilia and extrememly tall member Elevatô.

"Any newsss from the outsssside?" Lacertilia hisses.

"Boss Transgression apparently gathered up some other members to help him take down the Hunters," Hammer replies.

"Why would he do that?" Elevatô asks. "What have the Hunters done to TS1?"

"They hired a bounty hunter to eliminate Saffire for them," Tic answers.

"Because they were too weak to do it themselves," Tac adds.

"But issn't Ssaffire TS1'ssss enemy?"

"Not after he helped protect Transgression's sisters from Val-Yor," Toe answers. "Transgression Y'Tar let the vendetta go after Saffire showed such valor and heroism."

"Confronting the Hunters and getting them to call off the hit was his way of repaying Saffire's kindness," Hammer adds.

"Wait," Tic says, "I thought Transgression convinced the bounty hunter to call it off, then went after the Hunters to keep them from trying again."

"Well, either way," Hammer says, "he did it to repay Saffire."

"Now down to bussssinessss," Lacertilia hisses as he leans in. "How do we get out of thisss ssstink hole and back to our teamsss?!"
