They soon arrived at the tower.
"They won't take too long to find us," Trill whimpered. "Maybe I never should have found you guys."
"Shh..." Rip soothed. "You were in trouble, so you needed help, that's why I came. It's what friends do."
"That's right." Akito nodded.
"It's gonna be okay, Trill; we won't let anything bad happen to you." Estelle coaxed.
"But now the world is in danger." Trill frowned.
"Don't worry, we'll find a way to fight off those two." Ace said.
"We're not gettin' rid of ya," Rev promised. "We only get rid of bad guys, and you can guarantee they'll be gone in a flash! Just call me 'Uncle Rev'."
"Guys, I know this might sound crazy, but do you think that maybe Rip might be able to take on those two Cyber Beasts?" Tony asked.
"Me?" Rip replied.
"I wanna crush 'em!" Slam glared as he was about to grab something again until Akito restrained him.
"That's right, my power cell shot a power beam at you when you were saving me." Trill smiled at Rip.
"So that's what happened..." Rip replied before smiling back.
"Consider it your greatest honor as our new member." Tech told the roadrunner.
"Then it's time I fought those two." Rip said.
"So, you're going alone?" Ixta asked him.
"Well, he is the only one that has the strength and speed to take them on." Ace said.
"Aw, but I wanna see this happen." Tony pouted.
"Surely there's a video screen we could watch that on while we hang out here." Marc suggested.
"There is." Tech said.
"This place has every thing." Tony smiled.
"No, we're not living here." Marc said.
"You guys never let me have any real fun." Tony pouted.
Rip soon took off to fight the two Cyber Beasts.
"Good luck!" Trill called out. "Though I'm sure you don't need it."
"He sure doesn't." Rev said.
"Follow me so we can watch this." Tech told the others.
The others smiled to that and went to sit down and watch this on a big screen and turned it on.
"Let's see... He should be on Channel 72740." Tech said, taking out a remote to switch through the other channels to find Rip in action.
Luckily, they soon found the channel.
Rip was flying in the air through Acmetropolis.
"Who is that?" Misty asked as she was in her news van. "One of those Loonatics."
"He looks a little different than the usual ones who saved you from Weather Vane." The driver said to her.
"Well, thank goodness he's not that duck guy." Misty groaned.
"Not that I can see anyway." The driver replied.
"This should be an interesting story." Misty said as she sprayed her hairspray, making him cough a little.
Rip soon flew back to the secret lab, looking enraged and determined. This had to end, right now. The front of the secret Lab soon burst as the two Cyber Beasts came out with the two evil beings on their backs.
"All right, you want me? Come and get me!" Rip glared at the villains. "You'll pay for trying to hurt Trill!"
"Gregar! Falzar! Teach him the meaning of pain!" Dr. Cronos ordered.
"Whatever keeps Trill safe." Rip glared.
The Cyber Beasts soon roared in his face before attacking, and where the fight soon started. Trill shivered a bit.
"Shh, it's all right..." Lexi soothed him the best that she could.
"Is the camera on?" Misty asked the camera guy.
"Uh..." The camera man said as he adjusted it before turning it on and smiled bashfully. "Now it is, Miss Breeze." And where this was her cue to go into reporter mode.
"This'll teach the Loonatics for replacing me with a rat with wings like you!" Nova glared at Rip.
"You only joined sides with Dr. Cronos because they rejected you?" Rip asked.
"I could've given them the best years of my life!" Nova glared. "But nooo, they had to reject me just because I'm better than them, and now, what better way to show them than to crush their newest teammate?!"
"You used an illegal wrestling move on Slam!" Rip glared as he fought Gregar and Falzar.
"Is that so wrong?" Nova replied.
"Well, yeah!" Rip defended. "Keyword: Illegal!"
Nova was so looking forward in getting rid of the new teammate of the Loonatics.
"We'll destroy you, and then, you'll never have to worry about Trill ever again." Dr. Cronos told Rip.
"I guess I'm about to say to say the same to your Cyber Beasts." Rip retorted.
"Ha! Trill might have given you those powers, but you'll never truly be defeated." Dr. Cronos smirked.
Rip growled. The Cyber Beasts snarled, coming on both sides of him, ready to strike. Rip looked ready to fight both of them. Falzer and Gregar soon lunged out and they both began to tackle and attack Rip like wild animals finding their prey. Rip soon began to fight off Falzar and Gregar and where since it was two of them even with his powers was a challenge.
"Nothing can stop us!" Dr. Cronos grinned before laughing wickedly.
Nova soon laughed along with him. Trill frowned before he remembered what Dr. Cronos said and soon rushed out without anyone noticing.
"This is getting really intense..." Lexi said.
Ace soon held her hand to help soothe her.
"I'm just happy that none of the kids are out there." Zadavia said.
Maxima soon whimpered.
"Oh, sweetie, it's okay." Zadavia coaxed as she picked up Maxima to gently rock her so she wouldn't cry.
Unknown to any of them, Trill was gone as he was going to help Rip fight off both Cyber Beasts.
Rip grunted as this almost looked like the end for him.
"My ratings are gonna go through the roof!" Misty smirked as they filmed this.
"Okay, we're rolling." The camera man told her.
"Good afternoon, I'm Misty Breeze with a special news bulletin," Misty informed as she was on cable right now to every television in Acmetropolis. "It appears that the Loonatics have a new team member and is going up against these creatures that seem to be handling him roughly and it looks as though he is unable to fight back." Misty soon saw Trill rushing to the scene.
"Who's that kid?" The camera man wondered.
"I don't know... Zoom in on him!" Misty commanded.
The camera man soon zoomed the camera in on Trill. Trill looked around and soon kept going.
"Who is this little boy and where did he come from and why is he risking his young life to save a superhero in distress?" Misty asked the camera.
Seeing Trill on TV caused the team to panic and for Duck to do a spit take. They soon looked over and saw that Trill had wandered off.
"Oh, man, he's gone!" Rev panicked as he spoke so fast from stress that no one could understand what he was saying.
Tech soon used the same device he used to make Rev stop talking so Pinkster could talk before finding out he was a villain.
"Thank you for that." Tony said.
"Oh, what are we gonna do?" Felicity frowned. "Acmetropolis is doomed!"
"We just better hope Trill knows what he's doing." Ace said.
"I'm sure he does." Marc said, though he hoped so.
"Rip, I'm gonna help you." Trill told his new friend.
"Trill?! What're you doing here?!" Rip gasped at the young NetNavi.
"I know how to get rid of Gregar and Falzar!" Trill told him.
"You do?" Rip asked.
"Yeah!" Trill smiled.
"It's the brat!" Nova told Dr. Cronos.
Trill soon looked serious before walking up to the cyber beasts without fear and where his chest started to glow.
"The fool!" Dr. Cronos gasped before looking at Nova. "Quick, we must escape and leave the Cyber Beasts to their fate and hope that they survive!"
"What's happening?!" Nova asked.
"GO!" Dr. Cronos told him urgently.
"Okay, okay." Nova said before doing what the doctor told him to do.
The two soon both got off the two Cyber Beasts before running off.
"What's going on?" Rip asked.
"Rip, I have to do this, it'll keep you safe though." Trill said, trying to sound grown-up.
"Trill, what's going on?" Rip asked before the glow from Trill's chest got bigger.
"It's... Complicated..." Trill replied.
The Cyber Beasts soon came toward both him and Rip. Trill soon let out a painful scream as the light from his chest soon shot at the two Cyber Beasts and which got rid of them.
"Kid, you're just full of surprises." Rip commented to Trill out of amazement.
Trill soon looked light-headed before fainting as he fell backwards.
"Oh!" Rip gasped and soon caught Trill before he touched the ground. "Guess it was too much for the little dude."
"Hello there, Misty Breeze, national newswoman, who is this little friend of yours?" Misty asked.
"This is Trill and I need to get him back to the tower." Rip told her.
"How about an interview?" Misty asked. "I am Misty Breeze, national newswoman."
"Yes, yes, I know, but this is more important, I'm sorry, but I gotta go." Rip said before dashing off with Trill in his arms.
"We're following him, aren't we?" The camera man asked her.
"But of course we are." Misty replied as she made him follow.
"Of course." The camera man sighed.
Back at the tower, everyone waited for Rip to come back, hoping he would come back safely, and where he did come back with Trill in his arms, unconscious.
"Oh, thank goodness." Lexi said in relief.
"Is Trill okay?" Megan asked.
"We better take him to my lab." Tech said.
The others looked very concerned and worried.
