(i had to divide my comment in Two because probably of some character limit or my own internet lol)

The second problem is for mike(and to a extent,vagus) in repairing the broken friendship and familyhood with kareena, which is gonna be nothing easy and even then probably there will be still some wounds which will not heal fully, and even worse with the absence of vagus(which beside being a important person(or pokemon) for mike, i would consider is the equivalent of the face of the party and the only one with positive modifer in charisma). This left mike with a problem which is totally the contrary to his specialty and one of his mosts weakpoints, social relations. since his birth(or hatching) he was raised and trained to be a living killing machine, a super soldier who would dont have compassion or even feelings for his enemies, someone who would take the doomguy¨s phrase: “They are rage, brutal, without mercy. But you. You will be worse. Rip and tear, until it is done" to the heart....hell he would be the doomguy of the pokemon world, this has greatly affected mike`s behaviour and life by making the mike we knew in the beggining(and middle), this and the lack of other good experience with social relations beside his family(counting marvin and kareena), he is the guy in the party who can destroy any enemy which stand before the party and have +3 in every physical stat but -1 in charisma and now have to do the job of the face of the party, in the end he is just a lost warrior without childhood or friends beside his family. Thought he had the bravery and the character to tell everything to kareena and admiting his guilt and BIG mistake(which is something very difficult for many people in the modern world) which make a great start step to his character developement(besides starting to read), now he have to make another difficult move and repair the broken friendship and thrust with kareena....but hey at least marvin is here to help and support him

and finally the third one being the unexpected assault of lorenzo, and he is smart and probably will attack at the most weak moment of mike and the gang like a tiger hunting his prey, and to fuel the paranoia... HE CAN BE ANYONE (time to play among us in RL)

to close this wall of text comment i will give thanks to haychel for the great art and sly grove for the great story and both for the great effort in making the comic.

man, marvin is a great character and dad here, in less of a day after being separated for years in a time-altered labyrinth and being update with some information calmed down kareena and conviced her to spare and give a second oportunity to mike and vagus and now is preventing mike going on a blindrage rampage against crass and his guild
Now the gang is reunited but still there are many problems to solve.. problems that sadly cannot be solved by smashing or burning(which is definitelly mike`s weakness)
the first ´problem is crass, who despite all the horrible things the bastard did and being the cause of many disgraces of the main characters and despite of how much we want to see that bastard frog being burned alive by mike and turned into minced meat by kareena, he is protected by the laws and the guilds, if mike and co goes there and murder him directly, the guild will put a bounty on them and will be pursued by probably the entire guild, it make the things worse with the already bad reputation of team sparta(despite being the bests fighters of the guild) because of mike`s behaviour and believing they are freaks(abnormals) which will make the things hard for the gang to takedown crass... not because of why they will have to fight the members of the guild(which probably some of them will see not problem in killing mike and kareena) but because probably they will have to fight crass in his own game, a game wich even vagus has problem to manage and understand his rules, the game of society and his complex rules which is of vital importance to understand to win it and which we call "Law", the gang will have to outsmart crass in the game if they want to make him pay for all his crimes(and murder him the most slow or epic way possible).

man watching mike trying to learn to read i really inspiring, best charmeleon

¨third party¨ probably divina refer to the oat guild(especifically, crass)
