"Come on! Move faster!" Pufferfish called to the group as they checked each room of the building for the machine, so far to no avail. Wheezer leaned out of her room to glare at the other girl.

"We're trying our best here, ok? Chill out." She said. Pufferfish crossed her arms, giving Wheezer a firm look.

"You do realize that Venice could be flooded if we don't move fast enough, right?" She asked. Wheezer grumbled as she moved to the next room.

"Don't worry, we'll find it!" Duncan said. Pufferfish simply let out a long breath and grumbled something. Spark exited the room she was searching with furrowed brows, glancing around.

"Pufferfish, you sure this is the level the machine is on?" She asked. Pufferfish raised her eyebrows.

"Pretty sure. The machine would likely need to be as close to the ground floor as possible for it to work. Why?" She answered. Spark felt another pulse of energy rip through her and she winced.

"I dunno. Maybe it's the fact that something just below the roof?" She replied bluntly, pointing up. Pufferfish bristled slightly, looking to where she was pointing.

"There's nothing there." She said flatly. Spark rolled her eyes, annoyance beginning to well up. But she took a deep breath and shook her head.

"Not to sound like I'm being egotistical, but I'm the one with energy powers. If you don't believe me, fine. But I'm checking that out." She said, pushing past the other girl. Pufferfish twitched and scratched at her side as she glared at Spark who was already running up the stairs to the other floors. Spark still had no idea why Pufferfish seemed so riled up around her. Yeah, she might seem like a bit of a stubborn stick in the mud, but she didn't look to be that tense around the others. The only one that got close was Braceface. She suddenly stopped on the stairs mid step and thought.

Maybe she was suspicious. That would explain the green parts of her aura and her attitude. She was, after all, apparently allergic to everything. Maybe she knew. Spark would need to talk to her after the mission. But for now, she continued up onto the top floor.

"Alright, where are you hiding?" She muttered, glancing around. With her upgrades guiding her, she quickly found the machine in one of the backmost rooms of the building and smirked.

"Bingo." She chuckled, unable to keep a slight bit of smugness from her voice. She pressed on her nose and activated the link.

"Found it. Told you it was on the top floor, Pufferfish." She stated.

"Nice going!" Braceface said happily.

"Finally! I was getting tired of searching." Matilda laughed. There was a noise like a balloon that was having it's air let out, and Pufferfish began to speak.

"Yeah, ok. We're getting there. Try to find a way to shut it off." She said in a strained voice.

"Copy that." Spark replied. She turned off the link and walked around the machine.

There didn't seem to be any visible off switch on it, although she really didn't expect for there to be. Having a doom machine with an off button in plain sight seemed like a bad idea for the villain's plans. She examined it closer, still to no avail. She had the breath knocked out of her when energy began pulsing out of it again. However this time, it didn't seem to be stopping.

"Did you find an off switch?" Gluestick asked as he shot into the room. Spark shook her head as she took a few steps back into the others who had entered the room as well.

"No, but we better act fast and destroy this thing or something. I think it's starting to get going." She answered. Pufferfish turned to Braceface and gestured to the machine.

"Braceface. Break this thing." She ordered. He nodded with a grin, his braces extending onto his vest, and turning into a large fist that encased his arm. He reeled back and sent a single solid punch at the thing. However as soon as he touched it, electricity shot across the fist and into his body, making him yelp in pain before falling to the ground.

"Shocking." Spark said on instinct. Nobody seemed very amused.
