MEANWHILE, IN THE PAST
"Well, there's a sewer grate up ahead and the ground feels weak, so I'll just shoot this down and-"
BOOM! The ground exploded under the feet of the heroes and sent them tumbling down into the rushing water below, with the exception of Phil, who was flying at the time, and Samantha, who was holding on to Phil's arms.
"Well, that was stupid as hell," Phil commented.
"Uh... do you think we should follow them?" Sam asked.
"Yeah, that'd probably be- oh, hey, it's Xandus!" Phil cried. He let go of Sam and dropped into a fighting stance, but the weapon-laden Sith Lord merely flew past them.
"Bastard! Get back here and become a nuisance for us!" Sam called after him, and was about to follow him down into the sewer when the mob caught up to them, and Sam and Phil had to skedaddle.
A few hours later, after losing the mob, Sam and Phil came across a sewer grate. Seeing this as as good an oppurtunity as any to try and find their comerades, Samantha blew out the grill, and she and Phil were surprised to discover Ram, Rag, Iji, Rihanna and the bloke with the gas-mask who's name escapes me come tumbling out, followed by a stream of fire.
"And that's my explenation for our mysterious absence these past couple of pages!" Samantha declared, walking over to the other heroes and sitting down on a log near to where they had stopped to rest.
