Soon the two were free and made their way into the lab.
"Any idea how we can rescue your sisters?" Dukey asked.
"Yup" Johnny replied "it's time to bring back Johnny X!"
"I was hoping you weren't going to say that" Dukey replied.
"Now, all we need to do is figure out which of these doohickeys gives me my Johnny X powers."
"Um, Johnny" Dukey said, "how are you going to activate the controls, Susan & Mary are gone, remember?"
"You can do it."
"Me? I don't know how to work that thing! I might accidentally fry you or something."
"Hmm, then we'll need to try something else" Johnny replied.
Meanwhile, in their van, the villains were celebrating their success.
"I can't believe we actually pulled it off" Beekeeper said "and without any interference from that annoying Test kid."
"Yeah, the boss is going to be so happy with us" Tolinator added.
"Us? You're not even part of this group" Charmcaster commented "you just stowed away on the jet."
"I just want to be loved" Tolinator replied.
"I don't know what you bunch of losers are planning, but you won't get away with it" Susan said, as she sat tied up with Mary.
"That's what you think" Beekeeper bragged "soon you two will 'bee' helping us take over the world!"
"We'll never help you!"
"You will, once we…" Beekeeper paused "well, I'm not exactly sure how we're going to get you to help us, but we have a way…probably."
"According to my calculations, we'll be at the airport in exactly a half hour" Mather said "then, no one can stop us."
"Man, that's amazingly convenient" Tolinator added.
"A little too convenient, if you ask me" Mad Jack added from the driver's seat.
"How long have you been there?" Tolinator questioned.
"Since we started."
Meanwhile, back at the lab, Johnny had figured out a way to get his superpowers.
"Let me see if I understand this" Dukey said, "you get bad grades in school, yet you can hook up a sophisticated system of ropes and pulleys?"
"What can I say, it's a gift" Johnny replied "enough talk, it's Johnny X time!"
He let go of the rope he was holding, causing a weight, attached to other end, to fall…mere inches from the machine.
"Whoops" Johnny said "guess I missed. Oh well, time for snack."
"Snack!" Dukey yelled "your sisters have been kidnapped by some evil villains, and the Beekeeper, and you want…on second thought, I am hungry."
Soon the two were in the kitchen eating a nutritious snack of sugary junk when the doorbell rang. Johnny rushed over and opened it, and saw a pair of costumed people standing on the stoop. Standing behind them, on the lawn, appeared to be about 4 more.
"Um, I think Halloween isn't 'till October" he said.
"We're not trick or treating, we're looking for the Test house" Lucky Girl explained.
"You found it."
"Good, we have received word that your sisters are in danger of being kidnapped and we've come to protect them."
"Too late, somebody already snatched 'em."
"What!" Lucky Girl yelled "oh that's just great!"
She turned to her companion "I told you we shouldn't have stopped at the 7-11!"
"Okay, in hindsight, that was a poor decision" Turtle Titan replied.
"Can we come in?" the girl asked "we have much to discuss."
"It's not going to be boring is it? 'Cause Johnny doesn't like boring."
"No, it won't be boring" Lucky Girl replied.
"Okay, mi casa es su casa, or whatever" Johnny said.
"So you guys are assistants to a team of heroes? Awesome!" Johnny exclaimed.
"Yes, but on occasion we operate independently" Lucky Girl explained "and we fight crime as the Luck League!"
"Lucky Girl!"
"Turtle Titan!"
"Super Spud!"
"Dani Phantom!"
"And, introducing our two newest members, She-Bang and the Silver Shell" Lucky Girl added.
"How's it going?" She-Bang asked.
"Hey" Silver Shell added.
"Okay, so what brings you guys to Porkbelly?"
"We have recently learned about the reformation of an evil group known as the Bean Brigade" Lucky Girl began.
"They work for this totally narly bean dude" Turtle Titan explained "my bros and I tangled with them once, and we knocked bean salad into a time vortex, but I guess he escaped."
"He seeks to rule the world" Lucky Girl explained "and, since our allies are busy with their own problems, we've been commissioned to stop them."
"Neat!" Johnny replied "can I help? Can I please?"
"Sorry kid, but this is important hero business" Turtle Titan replied.
"But I am a hero, I'm Johnny X…or I would be if I could figure out how to work the doohickey in my sisters' lab."
"I guess we can use all the help we can get" Lucky Girl said, "one of you help him in the lab. But hurry, 'cause time is of the essence."
"It's time for the grand return of Johnny X, and his sidekick Super Dukey!" Johnny yelled happily as they headed toward the lab.
"Could I maybe sit this one out?" Dukey asked "I'm allergic to dying."
Soon Johnny & Dukey were transformed into their superhero forms.
Johnny X wore a blue bodysuit with light blue inner legs and a red radiation symbol on his chest, orange gloves and boots, and a light blue cape and cowl with an orange fin on top.
Dukey wore a grey suit with green gloves, boots, & cowl.
"Now to rescue my sisters!" Johnny X said dramatically "if I only knew how to do that."
Suddenly, a rocket crashed into the lawn of the Test house, and from it emerged a portly boy in a white jumpsuit, with lots of jewelry. Naturally, the crash led everyone to exit the house and see what the commotion was.
"Susan Test, I have come once again to win your love" Bling-Bling Boy said.
"She's not here, she was kidnapped by some villains" Johnny X explained.
"What! Someone has kidnapped my beloved Susan!" BBB said horrified "fear not, dear Susan, I, Bling-Bling Boy shall rescue you!"
"Who's this nutjob?" Turtle Titan asked.
"Just some crazy kid who has a big crush on my sister" Johnny explained "you get used to him after a while."
"Ah, here we go" BBB said happily "according to my Susan positioning device, or SPD, she is currently on the road, heading towards the Porkbelly airport."
"Wait, you have a device that tracks my sister's every location?" Johnny X asked "no offense dude, but you really need a life."
"We need to prevent the villains from escaping" Lucky Girl added "Dani, Silver Shell, you two fly ahead and create a roadblock to slow them down. We'll show up as soon as we can."
"No problem" Dani replied, as she and Silver Shell flew off.
"That girl in the belly shirt is pretty cute, don't you think?" Super Dukey asked Johnny.
"I guess" Johnny replied.
"Now, all we have to do is get some transportation" Lucky Girl added.
"You don't have transportation?" Johnny X asked, dumbfounded "then how'd you get here?"
"My brother Don flew us here in one of our jets" Turtle Titan explained "but then he had to go back to work on experiments and junk. We could call him and ask if he can pick us up."
"That would take too long" Lucky Girl said "we need something now."
"Excuse me, oddly costumed people, and Johnny" BBB said "but if you wish to help save Susan, you can borrow my rocket."
"Perfect" Turtle Titan said "um, you're not coming along, are you?"
"Of course, it is mine, after all."
"It's also wedged in the ground" Johnny X pointed out.
"Not to worry" BBB said, pulling a remote control from his pocket. He aimed it at the rocket and pushed the button. A pair of mechanical legs emerged from beneath the rocket and lifted its' nose from the dirt, then lowered it to the ground. The legs then retracted back into the fuselage.
"Neat" Turtle Titan commented.
"No time to argue" Lucky Girl said "Luck League, move out!"
"I still think we need a cooler battle cry" Turtle Titan lamented.
After a few minutes, the rocket was over the Bean Brigade's van.
"We're right on top of them" BBB said "I'll let you out and you can do whatever it is you do."
"And not a moment too soon" Turtle Titan replied "it's really cramped in here."
"I've never been this close to a dog's butt in my life" She-Bang commented.
"Speak for yourself lady, I'll have you know I've gotten a lot of compliments on this butt" Super Dukey replied.
"Okay, eww!" she replied.
Meanwhile, Bling-Bling positioned his rocket over the van and opened the hatch, allowing the heroes to jump down.
"Did you guys hear something on the roof?" Tolinator asked his teammates from inside.
"Probably just rain" CF replied.
"But it wasn't raining earlier" Tolinator said "in fact, I don't think it's raining now."
"Whatever it is, I'm sure it wasn't important" Camille replied.
Back on the roof, the heroes were plotting their strategy "Okay, team, time for maneuver 22A" Lucky Girl said.
"Um, I think we should do maneuver 23B" Turtle Titan replied.
"Okay, we'll take a vote"
"Oooh, can me and Dukey vote?" Johnny X asked.
"Do you even know what our manuevers are?" Lucky Girl asked.
"No, but I've always wanted to vote on something" Dukey replied "so can I please?"
"Sure, why not" Lucky Girl said "all in favor of 22A?"
She, She-Bang and Dukey raised their hands, or paws.
"And all in favor of 23B?"
The other three raised their hands. "Looks like a tie" Lucky Girl said "and since I'm the leader and I have tie-breaking power, I vote we go with my choice."
"Man, all of our votes end in ties" Turtle Titan whined "we really need another member."
"We'll vote on that idea later" Lucky Girl said, "now take your positions."
Control Freak: The recent release of Super Smash Brothers: Brawl got me thinking. Why isn't there a Disney fighting game in the same vein?
Motor Ed: Probably 'cause it'd be too violent or whatever, seriously.
CF: But think about it, I mean, I know Kingdom Hearts tapped the Disney adventure market, but that dealt mainly with movie characters. There's a large untapped TV show base that would be perfect for a fighting game.
Ed: Explain dude.
CF: Wouldn't it be neat to have Kim Possible fight, say, Goliath from Gargoyles. Or have Stitch lock up with Buzz Lightyear? Plus with the tons of supporting character the various shows have, you'd have trophies up the wazoo.
Ed: That would be kind of neat, seriously. Don't if the big boys will ever make it a reality though.
CF: Well there's always hope. Anyway, in the last chapter, we engage in battle against the Luck League? Who come out victorious? To find out, you'll have just have to…
Both: Read and review!
