Chapter 2: Meat of the Issue

We got a situation here.

Look alive, people. An enforcer by the name of Titan has hijacked a fleet of Burger Mart trucks.

Why he's done that, I sure as hell don't know. But you don't steal beef in my country. Put a squad together to stop him and his compatriots.

Dammit! I take this kind of beating and we only managed to get away with one stupid truck!

Not perfect. But still nice work. We only lost one truck. Let's hope it's the one with the E. coli.

Did Burger Mart change their recipe recently?

I only ask because again, a fleet of their trucks have been stolen, this time by Titan, Magmaniac and Tether Tyrant.

That's a lot of firepower out there, so make sure you put together a team that can handle that much heat.

Well done out there. You got most of the burgers back and managed to bring in Tether Tyrant.

Let's see what kind of information we can milk out of him.

Good luck getting anything from me! I ain't saying anything!

Let me at him, Cecil. I'll have him spilling his guts one way or another.

Hey Guardians, Invincible and Atom Eve here. What's going on with these Burger Mart hijackings?

We're figuring that out. You're welcome to help us, if that wouldn't be too much trouble for you.

We don't always see eye to eye, Cecil, but Invincible and I can help out when you need us.

Great. But because you're not official Guardians of the Globe, don't expect to get any discounts at the gift shop.

We have a gift shop?

Major incident happening right now at a known mob hideout.

Reports say things are "explosive" down there, so if you're thinking about sending Rex Splode, I wouldn't say no.

I'm the only one in this city who gets to recklessly blow up things. This shit's personal.

What the hell am I seeing? Is that... another Rex Splode in that fight? Someone get in there and tell me what the hell is going on there!

Sorry, I can't slap everyone on the back for a job well done, I'm just a little distracted by this other Rex Splode you managed to apprehend.

"Distracted?!" How about freaked the hell out?! Why is there another me?!

Trust us, Rex, none of us are thrilled about there being more than one of you.

It's not an exact copy. It does not seem to have your personality, or your speech mannerisms. It is quite unsophisticated in that way.

But it can blow things up like him, which is all I care about right now. We need to figure out where this came from and who's behind it before it all blows up in our faces. Come on, let's go.
