There is a bit over a week of relative peace. Oni Lee is sighted but there's no engagement, and the heroes arrest a couple of drug pushers on the Docks, nothing out of the ordinary. Until, that is, the Protectorate gets wind of the monkeys again, living in...
...a zoo.
They seem to have appeared overnight, and to be behaving just like regular monkeys would. The visitors find them fascinating, but the workers are alarmed - no condition they know of would cause monkeys to cover themselves with bark and other plants, so this is clearly cape-related. The Protectorate is informed of the situation, so they mandate calm evacuation (the zoo is being closed earlier due to whatever issues they manage to invent to cover it).
Of course this all goes to hell when the first hybrid monkey starts eating a non-hybrid one. And it goes a bit further into hell when the monkeys start going after the civilians and manage to snatch a couple. Armsmaster calls all the available heroes (Glimmer, Dauntless, Velocity, Drupe, Miss Militia, Glam, Lorica, and himself) to move in at once.
