Kevin absorbed a nearby rock before taking a flying leap at JakJak. The alien batted him aside as though he were a fly. Kevin pushed himself off the ground, spitting out blood as he brushed himself off. "Is that the best you can do?" he taunted.
"You're the bloody one," JakJak pointed out. Behind them the fighting had increased as the half aliens fought desperately against the mercenaries JakJak had brought. Kevin watched them for a moment, a sudden idea coming to him.
"Hey, Tubby! How well can you keep up?" Kevin took off in a mad dash, hoping this would work.
"Running away? You're just making this harder on yourself," JakJak came chasing after, the ground shaking with each step he took. Kevin weaved in and out of the other fights, and JakJak attempted to do the same - only with the alien's monstrous size, he couldn't dodge the others as easily as Kevin could, and before he realized he was being played he'd accidentally knocked out a number of his own men. Glancing around, it finally dawned on him. "You did this on purpose!"
"Helping the others out was just a coincidence," Kevin shrugged, setting a hand on Pierce's shoulder, who in turn gave him a bewildered look. "This was my real goal," he grabbed onto one of Pierce's quills. Realizing what he was up to, he grew the quill out until it broke off of him. "Thanks."
"Just returning the favor..." Pierce's attention returned to his own group, "We outnumber them now, guys...let's get 'em!"
As Pierce's rag tag 'army' rushed what remained standing of JakJak's men, Kevin twirled his quill.
"What? You think this makes you the good guy?" JakJak taunted. "Killing you wouldn't be worth it. You're nothing like your dad."
"No. I'm not," Kevin admitted. "Which is why I'm going to do this..." he smirked as he ran at JakJak, his aim perfect. The quill sunk into JakJak's eye, and the gigantic alien fell onto his back, Kevin landing on his stomach. He stood there a minute, making sure he'd driven the quill deep enough.
JakJak would not be getting back up.
Kevin cracked his neck before drawing the remote from his pocket. The others were too far off for him to call to them and they were caught up in their fights. He still couldn't bring himself to care - after all, hadn't he already helped them more than he had to? - but he did hope they'd win. He whistled as he tossed the remote up in the air and caught it, making his way back to Tex's cave. When he reached the back, he pressed '3039', just like Tex had told him.
The first thing to happen was a compartment on the side of the wall opened, and a trunk came sliding towards him. He opened it up to find numerous guns and other devices, including what looked like a line for retrieving someone while scuba diving. On top was a note.
Kevin,
A portal will open when you close this trunk. You will have exactly one minute to cross over into your home. Sell the guns and find your way back to your mom. She probably misses you, though I can't say why anyone would miss your smart mouth around. If the others are with you, get them home safely. Either way, I've included some contacts. They're shady guys, but they'll get you a job - it'll be doing shady things, but I doubt you'll mind that. If you run into your old enemy again, at least leave his cousin out of it. She did nothing to you. Fight him like a man and don't cheat. Don't kill him, either. If he beats you again, accept your defeat. You saw today what continuing hatred can do to a person. Reading this means I'm certain JakJak's been killed, probably by you. You don't want to turn into JakJak, do you? Not even JakJak wants to be JakJak, so of course you don't. I've rambled long enough. Make sure you don't sell everything in the trunk, things like the Plumber's Snake could come in handy later.

Tex
Kevin pocketed the note before closing the trunk. Sure enough, a portal opened at the back of the cave. He shouldered the trunk before crossing through. He glanced back as the portal closed behind him and muttered "Thanks, Tex."
Kevin sat on the trunk, thinking for a while. How was he going to find out where his mother was? Even if she had a good explanation for everything, could he forgive her? Was Tex right about her missing him? He sighed. The only way to find out was to go find her.
