16. Rise of the Cyborgs part 1

The siblings are all in Lori and Leni's room to figure out what to do for today. "Ok any ideas on what to do today?" Lori asked.

"We can go to a poem slam." Lucy suggested.

"Can't. Luan and Lynn are banned." Lincoln informed them. "Luan is banned for heckling the readers and Lynn is banned for slamming someone through a table."

"I settled that in court!" Lynn says defensively.

"Yes. And you had to do thirty hours of community service." Lisa reminds her.

"Don't remind me I had to be some old lady's helper and those bunions still give me nightmares." Lynn shivered.

"How about a comedy show?" Luan suggested.

"Can't. The comedians made fun of Lincoln's hair to much and mocked him for being the only boy among girls." Lori reminded her. She then pulls Luan close and whispers, "Remember, we took him to the arcade to help him feel better?"

"Right." Luan says.

"Music festival?" Luna suggested.

"No way! I'm not sitting on the ground with mud on my dress. I suggest a tea party at this hotel." Lola suggested.

"No way, I am not wearing a dress and drinking hot water." Lana protested.

"I know! How about a water park!" Leni suggests excitedly.

"Um, sis? Did you forget what happens when you mix Lincoln and water?" Luna says.

"Oh. Right. Forgot about that." Leni says nervously.

"How about the museum of natural history." Lisa suggested.

The sibling all imitate a buzzer and gives Lisa a thumbs down. "Sounds boring." Lynn said.

"How about Dairyland?" Lincoln suggested.

The girls do the buzzer again. "Gus's Game and Grab?" Girls buzzer him again.

"How about-" Before Lincoln could finish the girls buzzer him again. "Quit doing that!" Lincoln shouts.

"Then stop burning our floor!" Leni replied.

"Wait what?" Lori notieced that Lincoln was getting fired up.

"Bro! Calm down. Deep breaths." Luna told him. Lincoln did what he was told and the fire turned off. "Better?"

"A little." Lincoln answered. "Look, all I want is to be the one who picks where we go for once. Please." He then looks up at Lori and gives her the puppy dig eyes with pout.

"Ok where do you have in mind?" Lori sighed in defeated.

Lincoln takes a deep breath then answers. "The mall."

"Fine." Lori groans. She then realizes what he just suggested. "Wait. What?"

"Did Lincoln 'I hate the mall with every fiber of my being' Loud just suggest the mall?" Lynn asks flabbergasted. Lana then turns into a bloodhound and starts sniffing Lincoln.

"Smells like Lincoln." Lana reports. "Looks like Lincoln. And sounds like Lincoln."

"Well there's this new collector store that opened up in the mall and I want to buy some stuff there." Lincoln explained.

"Oh. That makes sense." Luan says with realization. "You hated the mall all this time because there was nothing there for you."

"Yes. And now that there is, you are more willing to go now I take it?" Lucy asks.

"What's next a video game store?" Luna said.

"Hey it might happen." said Lincoln.

"True." Luna admitted. "So I guess we're going to the mall?"

"Yep and meeting adjourned."Lori said and used her shoe as a gavel.

At Tetherby Industries, Andrew Tetherby was explaining to Carol and Adam about how there enhancements work.

Carol still had her figure, but her body had been replaced with robotic arms, legs and body with blue paint, her right eye was replaced by a cybernetic eye, the only thing that reminded human was 3/4 of her head and her hair.

Adam's body is now mainly robotic. His body, arms, and legs with red paint, half his head is now robotic with a cybernetic eye.

"The only thing that remains human are your hearts, lungs, parts of your brain and so on." said Andrew. "But you have weaponary, such as blasters, blades and feet knife. I got it from this movie that was like a spy flick but it made fun of the tropes of a spy flick." Andrew explained.

"Ok. So what else can we do?" Carol asks.

"Your strength and speed are increased. You can also fly." Tetherby told them.

"Now I'm stronger and faster." Adam smirked.

Why don't you two go out and test your new toys." Tetherby suggested.

"Yeah. Let's have some fun." Adam says.

"Let's go to the mall." Carol shouts.

Jetpacks appear out of the backs out of the Cyborg couple's backs and they fly away to the mall. "I can get use to this." Carol smirked.

At the mall, the Louds are scarfing down food at the food court.

"This is so good!" Lincoln says with his mouth full.

"I need more!" Lori says while eating. She then runs up and grabs more food.

"Hey Lisa, what's wrong with Lori?" Lola asks.

"Hmm, it would appear that her metabolism is being affected by her power." said Lisa.

"As long she stays away from the plus size department." Leni said.

"No need to worry. Lori will not gain any weight." Lisa assured them. "Her body will go through the food faster than she can eat it."

"Why are we noticing this now?" Lana asks.

"Because we are only allowed so much food at dinner." Lincoln answered.

"Boy I hate to be Bobby's wallet right about now." Luan said.

"Your telling me." Lynn says. Lori looks up and sees het siblings staring at her.

"What?" Lori asks with a mouthful of chicken.

"Nothing sis." Luna replied.

"So what did everybody buy?" Leni asked.

"I brought some guitar strings, and soundtracks." said Luna.

"Some glitter and make up." Lola replied.

"Sports equipment and balls." said Lynn.

"I bought some more props." Luan told them.

"I bought pet food." Lana replied.

"I bought this books of poems." Lucy said in her usual monotone.

"I got a new dress." said Lori.

"I got some new comics and I got a free mini statue of Ace Savy." Lincoln said.

"I got some new science books." Lisa replies.

"I got some new dress making material." Leni tells them.

"Poo poo. Doggie." Lily says holding up a stuffed dog.

"Aw that's so cute." said Lori and ate a slice of pizza.

"Hey! That's my pizza!" Lincoln shouts.

"You snooze you lose." Lori tells him. As the Louds continue with their business, they suddenly hear screaming.

"What's going on?" Lisa asked.

"No idea." Lori said. "Lets go see."

The Louds went to go check out the source of the screaming and they see smoke. "Hello Royal woods!"

"That voice." Lori said.

"The name is Carolborg." Carolborg says. "And this is my boyfriend Adamborg. We are here for the L-Crew. And for that sale at Forever 20."

"Carol?!" Lori gasped.

"What the heck happened to her?!" Lincoln asked.

"No idea. But this looks like a job for the L-Crew." Lori said. "Hurry everyone to Vanzilla."

The Louds ran out of the mall and into the rundown minivan. When they got inside, they changed into their costumes.

"Let's rock dudes." Amplifier says. They all then try to exit Vanzilla at the same time, out the same door. But they get stuck.

"Dang it." They say in unison.

Back with the cyborgs Adamborg just flipped over a kiosk while Carolborg looked for the L-crew. "Where are you L-crew?" Carolborg asked.

She is then hit in the back of the head with a fireball. They turn around and see the L-Crew.

"We're right here." Wildgirl tells them.

"About time you showed Loser crew." said Adamborg.

"I suggest that you leave the mall alone!" Speed Queen shouted.

"Or what?" Carolborg said.

"Or we beat you up." Parkour answered while cracking her knuckles.

"If it's a fight you want. Then a fight you'll get Parkour." said Carolborg and her arms turned into plasma blasters.

"Cool." Firecracker says.

"Bro! Who's side are you on?" Amplifier scolds.

"Sorry." Firecracker apologizes. As soon as he said Adamborg flies forward and punched Firecracker in the stomach that launches him up and causing Firecracker to hit the ceiling. As he's falling, Adamborg kicks him into the music store.

"Ha! Take that dork!" Adamborg taunts.

"Not cool robodude." Amplifier shouted and flews to Adamborg and punched him square in the jaw.

"Hey save some for me!" Firecracker shouted and flew towards Adamborg.

Adamborg grabs Firecracker's arm and throws him into Amplifier, causing the two to crash into a photo booth.

"Don't worry guys! We're coming!" Wildgirl shouts. She then runs towards Adamborg and turns into a grizzly with Ms. Appear, Black Ice and Greenthumb following her. Speed Queen, Multiple Girl, Parkour, Crystal Princess and Prodigy surround Carolborg.

"Oh no. I'm surrounded. Whatever should I do?" Carolborg said in mock fear.

"Easy watch and get your butt kicked." said Parkour and punched Carolborg in the face. But she was not affect by Parkour's punch.

Over at the photo booth Firecracker and Amplifer come out of the photo group laughing as they grabbed the photos they took. One was the two unleashing the goats, the second was them playing air guitars. The third was Firecracker and Amplifier back to back and finally the two of them flexing their muscles.

"Yep. Totally worth crashing into this." Firecracker says.

"You sed it bro." Amplifier agreed. They then see rhino Wildgirl getting thrown at them.

Firecracker and Amplifer both dodged the rhino Wildgirl. But she lands on the photo boot on impact.

"Man. Good thing we weren't in there." Firecracker commented.

"Yep." Amplifier agreed.

Ms. Appear goes to punch Adamborg with a forcefield fist, but he dodges.

"How about i straighten your teeth, brace face?" Adamborg taunts.

"Call me that one more time I dare you!" Ms. Appear shouted and turned invisibile.

She tries to sneak up on him but he elbows her in the gut, turning her visible and then roundhouse kicks her. Back with Carolborg, she was currently locked in a blade fight with Crystal Princess.

"Shouldn't you be playing with dolls instead of sword fighting?" Carolborg asked with a smog look on her face.

"I think you should be worried about that zit on your face!" Crystal Princess said.

"My face is perfect!" Carolborg shouts. She then kicks Crystal Princess in the face.

Then Crystal Princess gets up with a angry look on her face as crystals grow around her body. "THAT WAS A BIG MISTAKE! I'M GOING TO KICK YOUR TIN CAN TO THE RECYCLING BIN!" Crystal Princess shouted and charged towards Carolborg.

Carolborg smiled fires a sonic blast at Crystal Princess, breaking her armor.

Speed Queen ran at full speed and punched Carolborg in the far and repeated to do so.

Carolborg catches one of her fists and headbutts her.

Speed Queen screamed in pain from the headbutt. Prodigy threw a few items with her telekinesis at Carolborg. Carolborg aims her blasters and shoots at the objects.

"Dang it." Prodigy curses.

Not to far away, Adamborg is taunting Black Ice.

"Come on frosty show me what you got!" Adamborg shouted.

She fires a ice blast, but Adamborg dodges it and fires a flamethrower. Black Ice dodges but gets punched by Adamborg.

"Who's next?" He yells. He then gets whacked into a nearby store. "Who did that?" He then sees an elephant in the mall. "Ok Dumbo. Come get some."

Wildgirl charges towards Adamborg, but Adamborg grabs Wildgirl's tusks and throws her to the side.

Then Greenthumb uses her vines to grab Adamborg. But he breaks free. Adamborg prepares his blaster but sees Amplifier flying towards him. He grabs her and he sees an interesting function.

"Jackhammer? What does that do?" Adamborg wonders. He shrugs and activates it. His fist rapidly punched Amplifier in the face. After he sees that she's unconscious, he stops. "So that's what Jackhammer does." He throws Amplifier aside and returns his attention to Greenthumb. "Here I come baby." He slowly starts walking to her.

Greenthumb begins to whimper. "Usually I don't hurt babies, but I'm going to make a exception." said Adamborg and aimed his blaster at Greenthumb.

"I promise that I'll end this quickly." Adamborg tells her. He's about to fire when he's tackled by Firecracker.

"You will not touch a single hair on my baby sister!" Firecracker shouted and gave Adamborg some firey punches.

Adamborg grabs one of the fists and stands up while still holding the fist of Firecracker.

"Man you are annoying. Let's see how flexible you are." Adamborg says.

"Oh no." Firecracker says fearfully. The camera then moves to the L-Crew members who are fighting Carolborg watching what Adamborg is doing to their brother with disturbed looks on their faces. After a few seconds, the camera returns to Adamborg and Firecracker and we see Adamborg is finished and Firecracker is contorted into a human pretzel.

"Holy cow!" Wildgirl shouted.

"You turned my brother into a human pretzel?!" Speed Queen shouted.

"Yeah so?" Adamborg replied.

"I didn't think it was possible!" Speed Queen shouts.

"Wait. You didn't know if it was possible to turn someone into a human pretzel?" Parkour asks.

"Of course not. They were just empty threats." Speed Queen tells her.

"Well I'm full of rage and a whole can of butt kicking." said Parkour and charges towards Carolborg and begins t beat up Carolborg.

Parkour throws another punch, but Carolborg moves out of the way. She then brings down her elobow on Parkour's outstretched arm.

Parkour screamed in pain from the attack. "Aw did that hurt?" Carolborg laughed.

Parkour looked at her arm and saw that it was broken. "No. That all you got?" Parkour asks. Carolborg smiles. She rushes forward and kicks Parkour's other arm, breaking it. "Son of a!" Parkour exclaimed as tears streamed down her face.

"Oh my gosh are you gonna cry?!" Carolborg asked and laughed.

"No! I'm just sweating through my eyes!" Parkour says while tearing up. Carolborg just smiles and kicks her in the face.

Parkour lands on the ground while tearing up, with the rest of the team down. "Any last words, L-crew?" Carolborg asked as she and Adamborg aimed their blasters at the L-crew.

"More like a request." Firecracker saye. Everyone turns to look at him. "Can someone scratch my forehead?"

"My arms are broken." Parkour pointed out.

"Alright let's kill them all." Adamborg said and charged his blasters and then they heard beeping.

"What's the hell is that noise?" Adamborg asks.

"No idea." Carolborg answers. They look at their blasters and see that they are almost out of power.

"We're almost out of power." said Carolborg.

"How? How are we out of power?" Adamborg questions. Suddenly, Andrew Tetherby appears on the monitors on their arms.

"You have limited power. Return to base to recharge." said Andrew as he disguised his voice.

"But we were about to finish them off." Adamborg whined.

"That's a order!" Andrew shouted and hung up.

The two cyborgs groaned. "Fine." Carolborg says annoyed. She turns to the down L-Crew. "Today's your lucky day."

"But the next time we meet you'll be dead!" Adamborg shouted as the two flew away.

After they're gone, the L-Crew got to their feet with Multiple Girl helping Parkour and the twins lifting Firecracker.

"Well that went well." Ms. Appear says sarcastically while holding her side.

"My forehead still itches you know." Firecracker says. "And i think my arm is under my leg."

"Hang on little bro." Ms. Appear scratches Firecracker's forehead.

"Thanks Ms. Appear." said Firecracker.

"Come on let's get back to base." said Speed Queen.

Meanwhile at the Warehouse, Ronnie Anne and Clyde were watching the news with Adamborg and Carolborg. "Carolborg and Adamborg, even Mikey would say that's dumb and I come up with the names." said Ronnie Anne.

"Gotta agree with you there." Clyde says. "But those cyborgs destroyec the L-Crew."

"Yeah good point." said Ronnie Anne.

The L-crew all returned to base with Leni helping Lynn, and the twins carrying Lincoln to the infirmary. "Oh my gosh!" Clyde and Ronnie Anne exclaimed.

"We heard you got destroyed but we didn't think it was that bad." Clyde says.

"Speak for yourself." Lucy grumbles as she limps by.

"Yeah. They broke Lynn's arms and turned Lincoln into a human pretzel." Luna says as she holds her shoulder.

"How is it even possible to turn someone into a human pretzel?" Ronnie Anne asks.

"I have no idea." said Lori. "I use it as a empty threat."

"Even I am puzzled by it and I have a PHD." Lisa stated.

"Lisa, go patch everyone up." Lori orders. Lisa nods and walks off. Lori then turns to Clyde. "Clyde, what do you know about cyborgs?"

"Hmm, not much. But I do know someone who can help you." Clyde replied.

"Who?" Lori asked.

"Professor Stuart at the University of Royal Woods, he's a expert in robotics." said Clyde.

"Nice." Lori says. She's about to question Clyde more, when she hears the twins arguing.

"Lana! We're supposed fix his left leg first!" Lola says.

"No! We're supppsed to fix his right arm first!" Lana fired back.

"Lola! Lana! I don't care how you fix Lincoln, just fix him!" Lori shouted.

"Sorry!" The twins said and got to back to fixing Lincoln.

"How do you know this guy Clyde?" Lori asked.

"He's a family friend." said Clyde.

Lori is about to ask something else when she hears Lynn screaming.

"My arms!" Lynn cried out.

"Leni give Lynn the pill." Lori demanded.

"Ok." Leni calls back.

"I can see why I'm the leader hear." Lori grumbles.

"Yeah. So I take it that your going to see Professor Stuart?" Clyde asks.

"Yeah. But i should take a few members with me." Lori answers. She walks to the infirmary and looks around.

"Luan, Lucy and Lisa you girls are coming with me." Lori said. "We're going to the university of Royal Woods."

"Right." They say in unison.

"The rest of you, please untangle Lincoln." Lori says.

"And please be quick. I have to use the bathroom." Lincoln tells them.

Lori and her group began to leave with Prodigy on her back, but Black Ice crashes into a crate. "Dang it." Black Ice groaned.

After they leave, Luna turns to her group.

"Alright dudes, lets get Lincoln untangled before he wets himself." Luna says.

"Please hurry." Lincoln said and the rest of the sisters sans Lynn untangle him.

"I'll help in a couple minutes. My arms should be recovered soon." Lynn tells them.

Meanwhile with Speed Queen, Ms. Appear, Black Ice, and Prodigy they reached the university and found Professor Stuart's office. "Alright girls, let's find out how to defeat cyborgs." said Speed Queen.

Speed Queen is about to open the door when Ms. Appear stops her. "Wait. If we are doing this, can we do it like Batman and just appear?" Ms. Appear asks.

"That actually sounds fun. Ok. We'll do it that way." Speed Queen decides.

In the office, there sits a man in his early 40s wearing a white lab coat, a flannel shirt, dress pants and a red bowtie. This man's name was Professor Damian Stuart, head robotic expert in all of Royal Woods. And right now, he was grading papers.

"Michael. You still have a long way to go." Stuart sighs. He then hears a noise and sees his door open. "Hello? Anyone there?" When he got no response, he gets up and closes the door. When he turns around, he sees the L-Crew.

"Professor Stuart?" Speed Queen asked.

"The L-crew What are you doing here?" Professor Stuart asked.

"We're here ti ask you about cyborgs." Ms. Appear asked.

"Hmm, yes. Why the sudden interest?" Stuart asks.

"Well there were these two cyborgs at the mall and we got our butts kicked by them." Ms. Appear replied.

"I heard about the attack. But I had to assumed that you defeated them." Stuart tells them. "Now, as you know cyborgs are half robot, half human."

"We fought a robot before and didn't have that much problems with it. What makes cyborgs different than robots?" Speed Queen asks.

"Unlike the robot you fought before, cyborgs have a human brain that is cybernetically enhanced." Stuart explains. "With a human brain, cyborgs can fight more creatively and have more control of their bodies. Plus, cyborgs have shown to have more skill in combat because they can react faster. From what I could tell from the news report, cyborgs also have an immense amount of strength. But I'm not sure how much though."

"These had enough to break Parkour's arms and turn Firecracker into a human pretzel." Black Ice tells Stuart.

"Oh my goodness." said Stuart.

"Is there anyway we can defeat cyborgs?" Speed Queen asked.

"Well that depends." Stuart stated.

"Depends on what, Professor?" Prodigy asks.

"Depends on their power cells." Stuart answers. "Like robots, cyborgs have power cells that power everything: weapons, flight, their enhancements. You name it, the cells power it."

"That must be the reason why they left instead of finishing us off." Prodigy said.

"So What do we have to do drain their batteries?" Ms. Appear asked.

"Sadly I don't think that's possible." Stuart tells them. "Whoever did those enhancements will no doubt be searching for a more powerful power cells. My guess is that person already sent the cyborgs out to retrieve the cells."

"Then how a virus?" Prodigy suggested.

"Yes. I could create a virus that would render them unable to move. But it will take time." Stuart informs them.

"We understand. Thank you for-" Speed Queen starts when she's interrupted by her watch beeping. "What's up, Amplifier?"

"Sis, I got good news and bad news." Amplifier tells her. "Good news is Firecracker in untangled."

"That's great. But what's the bad news?" Ms. Appear asks.

"Eagle Eye just told us that the cyborgs are on the move again." Amplifier says.

"They must be after stronger power cells." Prodigy says.

"Just give us a location and we'll be on our way." said Speed Queen.

"You got it sis." Amplifier replied.

"Prodigy, you stay here and help Professor Stuart with the virus." said Speed Queen.

Right." Prodigy says. Speed Queen turns to Ms. Appear and Black Ice.

"Ready for round two?" Speed Queen asks.

"Yep." Ms. Appear answers. "Bot are we waiting for?" Ms. Appear laughs at her pun.

"Sigh. Let's just go." Black Ice says.

Speed Queen, Black Ice and Ms. Appear both run out of office to battle the Cyborgs.

The three make their way through the city where they see the rest of the L-Crew on their way to meet the cyborgs.

"Hey guys!" Speed Queen calls. The L-Crew turn and look to see who's calling and see Speed Queen, Black Ice and Ms. Appear making their way towards them.

"Wondering if you were gonna show up." Parkour said from her ATV.

"Yeah. Where's Prodigy?" Multiple Girl asks from her Go-kart.

"She's back at the university working on a virus for those cyborgs." said Speed Queen.

"So nerd stuff with a older nerd got it." said Parkour.

"So how are you and Firecracker feeling?" Black Ice asks.

"I'm still a little sore but ready to go." Parkour answers. Her expression then chages to worry. "But Firecracker hasn't said anything since we untangled him. After we untangled him, he thanked us, and walked outside."

"The only time he talked to one of us was with Amplifier." Wildgirl adds. "They talked in private before we left and he hasn't said anything since."

"He's probably bottling up his emotions. Not good for you." Speed Queen sighed.

Amplifier just smiles. "Don't worry sis. Little brother has this under control." Amplifier reassures her sisters. "Him and I talked about it before we left."

"Good, let's go kick some metal butts." said Speed Queen.

When they arrive at the scene they see the Cyborgs walking out of Royal Woods labs with Adamborg carrying two power cells.

"You guys again?" Carolborg groaned.

"I see that Parkpur and Fircracker healed up just fine. Let's see if I can turn you into a balloon animal." Adamborg smirked.

"Well I'm ready for round two." Parkour tells them. The L-Crew are about to attack when they hear a voice.

"Wait." The girls look and see Firecracker walking past them. "Adamborg! You and me. One-on-one."

"I like those odds." Adamborg said.

"Hold on. I never agreed to this!" Speed Queen protests. "Firecracker, who said that you could go one-on-one with a cyborg?"

"I did." Amplifier answers.

"Amplifier, you and I will have a serious talk after this mission." Speed Queen at her lightning sister.

"You and Firecracker have fun sweetie, I'll be with the girls." said Carolborg.

"Don't worry babe. This will be over in a minute." Adamborg says. As soon as he finished saying that Firecracker flies forward and hits Adamborg hard. Adamborg is forced back from the punch. As soon as he regains his composure, Firecracker suddenly kicks him in the back of the head. "What the hell!? Why do you feel like you have more power than you did at the mall?"

"Simple. At the mall, i was holding back because of the people. But now, i can let loose." Firecracker says.

"Well now that I'm fully charged I can" Firecracker punches Adamborg in the face cutting him off. "Now cool little man." Adamborg turns his right arm into blaster and aims at Fircracker, but he was gone. "What the hell?"

He then feels something hit him in the head. He looks up and sees Firecracker flying above him. Adamborg growls and starts shooting at Firecracker.

Firecracker dodges the shots and decided to fire back. Firecracker shot fireballs at Adamborg, and breathed fire out of his mouth. "Don't mess with a Pyro!" Firecracker shouted.

"He can breathe fire!?" Adamborg shouts.

"Yeah I can metal butt!" Firecracker yells back.

"Ok dork. Playtime is over!" Adamborg tells him. He then fires a heat seeking missile at Firecracker.

"Oh no." said Firecracker and flew away while the missile chases him.

"I'm going to enjoy the fireworks." said Adamborg.

Firecracker flies around with the missile following him. He then turns around and fires a fireball at the missile, causing it to explode. However, Adamborg jumps through the smoke and punches Firecracker in the face.

"You couldn't dodge me little punk." said Adamborg.

"I'm just getting warmed up." said Firecracker and ignited his fists.

The two charge forward and start exchanging blows and flying as they fight. Back in the ground, the girls are watching in awe.

"Amplifier, what did you say to him?" Speed Queen asks.

"Simple. I told him that if we have to fight the cyborgs again and if there are no civilians around, to go all out and hold nothing back." Amplifier answered. "And I think he's doing just that."

"I thought you were comforting him!" said Speed Queen.

"That was the first thing I was doing." said Amplifier. "Then I told him the whole hold nothing back part."

Adamborg throws Firecracker to the ground and then follows him to finish him off.

"Dude get out of the way!" Amplifer shouted.

"Better call in a clean up crew girls." Carolborg smirked.

Firecracker rolls out of the way and Adamborg crashes. He gets up and Firecracker kicks him into a nearby store.

"Time to finish this." Firecracker says. He's about to walk towards the store when he's stops suddenly. "What? I can't move." He looks at his feet and sees that there is a sticky substance preventing him from moving. He turns around and sees Carolborg with a blaster poimted at him. She then smiles and fires some more goop at Firecracker, forcing him to the ground with his hands and feet stuck to the ground. "I can't move. What is this stuff?"

"Fire proof goo." Carolborg answers. "Good luck getting out."

"Not cool!" Parkour shouts. The rest of the L-Crew them surround Carolborg. "Prepare for a beating."

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Adamborg says. The girls turn around and sees Adamborg walking out of the store with a hostage. And the hostage was someone Amplifier recognized.

"No! Not her!" Amplifier shouted. The hostage that Adamborg has is none other than Sam. "I suggest you let us go or she gets it." Adamborg aims a blaster at Sam's head.

The girls look at each other and huddle up.

"Guys, what do we do?" Crystal Princess asks.

"I don't know. We hadn't had to deal with a hostage situation before." Speed Queen said.

"Hey guys? Do you mind huddling around me? I don't feel included." Firecracker called from where he was stuck.

The girls all went to Firecracker's location and continued their huddle. "If we hurt Carolborg, Sam dies." said Amplifier.

"If we lest them go, the Cyborgs will gain more power." Fircracker pointed out.

"Man this is so hard." Wildgirl complains.

"Maybe he won't hurt her." Multiple Girl says. She looks up from the huddle. "Hey! Are you really going to hurt her if we try something?"

"Yes I am, I'm going to shoot her in the head!" Adamborg shouted.

"That's not nice!" Multiple girl shouted back.

"Of course not! I'm evil!" Adamborg replied.

"Ok. So he is totally going to hurt her." Multiple Girl says.

"You think." Crystal Princess says.

"Are we going to do something?" Black Ice asks.

"Yes." Amplifer said and she turned to Adamborg. "Let her go!"

"I'll let her go if you let us go." Adamborg reminds her.

"Fine! Go!" Amplifier shouts. "Just let her go."

Adamborg releases Sam and she drops to the ground. "Come on robobabe let's hey." said Adamborg and he brings out his jetpack.

"Boo!" Ms. Appear shouted.

"Oh shut up." said Carolborg. "Right begins you cyberhunk."

The two kiss then fly off. After they off, Amplifier runs up and checks on Sam.

"Are you Ok?" Amplifer asked.

"I'm fine, but I saw my whole life flash before my eyes." said Sam.

"Well you're safe now." said Firecracker.

"Thanks." Sam says. "I gotta go. See ya."

"See ya." Amplifier says quietly. As Sam walks away, Amplifier watches her with a longing look on her face.

"She's hot." Firecracker says.

"Dude!" Amplifier says blushing.

"Well that's great sis. But we need to get our brother out of this goop and fast." said Speed Queen.

"I got this." Parkour says. She then grabs her brother and lifts him up.

"Thanks Parkour." said Firecracker.

"Don't mention it." Parkour said.

"What do we do now?" Ms. Appear asks. "They have the power cells."

"Lets head back to base and hope Prodigy and Professor Stuart finish that virus soon." Speed Queen answers.

At Tethetby industries, Tetherby watched as his two cyborgs were reveling in not just their victory but their additional power that they gained. "This is perfect, now we have more power." said Carolborg.

"Time to destroy that little punk." Adamborg declares.

"No." The two look over and see Tetherby walking up. "You will wait till I give you instructions."

"Listen here old man. I'm not waiting around for you to give me the thumbs up to go destroy the L-Crew." Adamborg says. "I'm out." He then walks out. Tetherby sighs and turns to Carolborg.

"Your boyfriend is a hothead." Tetherby tells her.

"He is, I mean he's not the brightest. But he's the best football player on the football team." said Carolborg.

"What do you see in him?" Tetherby asked.

"I had my sights on one boy, but he was taken." said Carolborg.

"I see." Tetherby says. "I have a job for you and only you."

"Finally some fun. What's the job?" Carolborg asked.

"My researchers have came up with a serum." said Tetherby and presented a needle with a orange liquid in it.

"What does the serum do?" Carolborg asks.

"We aren't sure yet." Tetherby answers. "That's why we want you to inject someone with the serum and we already have just the target." He hands Carolborg a picture.

Carolborg looked at the pictured and smiled devilishily. "Good choice." said Carolborg.

Bobby Santiago made his way to the house exausted. He volunteered to work late because he was saving up for a car and he was getting closer to his goal. When he got to the door of his house, he saw it was unlocked.

"I guess mom is home." Bobby said to himself.

Bobby walked inside and he sees his mother all tied up and here mouth being gagged to. "Mom?" Bobby questioned and ran to her side.

He pulls the cloth off her mouth and tries to untie her. As he struggles, he hears the door slam shut.

"Ronnie Anne is that you?" Bobby asked.

"Wrong Bobby."

Bobby turns around and sees Carolborg standing in front of the door.

"Carol?" Bobby says in shock.

"Hello Bobby. Time to get reacquainted." Carolborg tells him.
