Beginning of Issue
File:34 minds eye.jpg	The Abyss: Phaeton students, this is The Abyss.
File:34 minds eye.jpg	The Abyss: I am told I should ask your forgiveness for this intrusion into your mind... But this is an emergency and you are needed in downtown Culverton.
File:205 crocodile tears.jpg	The Abyss: The area is under siege by packs of wild animals. We suspect this might be Pesticide losing control of his minions.
File:205 crocodile tears.jpg	The Abyss: Your only assignment is to aid with the subdual and containment of the animals.
File:34 minds eye.jpg	The Abyss: Should there be something more nefarious afoot let someone more experienced deal with it. Good hunting.

It's Going To Bring You Down

Beginning of Fight: Sunderlings
File:256 sunderlings.jpg	The Abyss: There have been a string of robberies around down.
File:206 dog attack.jpg	The Abyss: It would appear you and the feral creatures are fighting the same battle.

Beginning of Fight: Albino Crocs
File:21 brain drain.jpg	The Abyss: Albino crocodiles attacking bank robbers can only mean one thing... ...our old "friend" Pesticide is trying to clean up the town again.

Beginning of Fight: Sunderlings
File:256 sunderlings.jpg	The Abyss: I am afraid you are surrounded by dumb animals on all sides. It is the smarter animals lurking to pick off the bloodied winners that concern me.

Beginning of Fight: Trebuchet
File:181 trebuchet.jpg	The Abyss: Speaking of smarter animals. This is Trebuchet. A mercenary emergent who uses his powers for whoever pays him the most. Trebuchet: You have two options. Fight me or run...
File:181 trebuchet.jpg	Trebuchet: But you should know this... I can hurl an SUV into a compact parking spot from two blocks away. You should probably fight.

We Got Your Disease

Beginning of Fight: Nest of Rats
File:254 nest of rats.jpg	The Abyss: Pesticide can talk to the animals...kind of like a vigilante Dr. Doolittle.
File:254 nest of rats.jpg	The Abyss: The problem is he has a short attention span. Once the bad guys are behind bars... The rats ... and worse ... are left to their own devices.

Beginning of Fight: Feral Dogs

Beginning of Fight: Grizzly Bear

File:204 albino croc token.jpg	The Abyss: If you ever wondered what happened to that baby reptile your mother flushed down the toilet... It ended up at Pesticide's sewer grate.

Beginning of Fight: Pesticide
File:196 pesticide.jpg	The Abyss: Ah...the man behind the monsters you have been fighting all day. Pesticide: Are you one of those students who have been hurting us?
File:196 pesticide.jpg	Pesticide: Are you going to use your powers to help fight the vermin that infest the city? Or do you use your powers for personal gain?
File:196 pesticide.jpg	Pesticide: We will have to test you to see if you can help me in our work... Or if you need to be eradicated like a common pest!

End of Fight: Pesticide
File:137 neighborhood watch.jpg	Pesticide: We can put you to good use. There is too much vermin and not enough time.
File:137 neighborhood watch.jpg	Pesticide: When people live in the gutters they talk near open sewer grates. We hear things.
File:137 neighborhood watch.jpg	Pesticide: We have no time for the Home School but we heard... That there is going to be an infestation by the waterfront.
