G-Lo finally finds the vending machine. This particular machine is one of those that no matter how much money you put in for something, you will only get "Sorry. Out of service." Even though you KNOW for a fact that it was fixed just HOURS ago! But since this is the only one in the building, people have no choice but to go there and be ripped off half the time.
"Oh come on…" G-Lo says as she then puts her money in the machine till realized she has so little left and still had no water. "Why won't you give me some water? What does I ever do to you?'' She whines, almost crying while she looks at the rip off vending machine. "Well I guess it's not your fault and I can get the water from the XOXO…" she walks out of the door with a happy grin on her face. "It's not that far away from here, it'll be a short trip. They won't worry, after all…" she then says something that should never be said unless you want to jinx it. "…What's the worst thing that could happen?"
.
.
.
Boom!
"Of course there is a robbery crossing the street, gosh this is definitely not my day…" G-Lo groans as the XOXO cashier tries to run away. "But you didn't tell me how much it is for the water!" G-Lo yelled out to the poor man that is trying to hide.
The XOXO employee scowls and says "$3.50 now leave the money and get out! I don't get paid enough for this…" The cashier groans as he leaves in a hurry when he suddenly stops "...Wait a minute… shouldn't you be out there? 'Miss hero'."
G-Lo does facepalms and smiles brightly"Right! I'll go now, please keep an eye on my purchase citizen, I'll go and save the day!" The gelatin girl declares while stretching to get to the bank.

The entrance of the Atreno bank is being destroyed while a certain villain sidekick comes out of the rubble and turns back to call his boss "Hurry up Boss, let's… Sir I think it's best we take the bags but not the vault." Ghoul suggests Dark Phantom who is trying to carry the vault. Yet the pale skinned villain's efforts are futile as the vault is heavy.
The long nosed villain struggles and quickly says "Enough chit chat and just give me a hand!" Dark Phantom grunts in struggle.
Ghoul shook his head in exasperation and started helping him out. "Sir this isn't a good time to steal the bigger valuables right now, we have to leave before…" Ghoul says until…
"Hold it right there villain scum!" G-Lo declares as she springs into action. The reinstated sidekick then crosses her arms in front of the two villains and declares "Today is a good day for me so I'll give you one chance to drop the money and surrender!"
The two villains stagger and gasps "Oh no, it is Biceps sidekick, Jell-O …Wait a minute! Where's Biceps?" Dark Phantom asks in confusion as he looks around.
"He quit, Sir." Ghoul says as he packs the bags and puts some of the money in his pockets.
G-Lo starts blushing and thinks. 'What a great voice…! Too good to belong to a villain…!' And for some reason this villain's voice reminded her of someone she met before.
The gelatin hero frowned as she stopped that train of thought, this isn't the time for this. She clears her throat and does her best to keep her calm demeanor.
"Uhhh first of all, my name is G-Lo, not Jell-O. And second of all, don't make this harder than it needs to be…" G-Lo said until Dark Phantom pulled out a pistol and fired a purple ray at her. To which she barely avoided getting hit with.
"Hahahahahaha! You think we'll listen? that we will surrender to a simple sidekick? You're out of luck Glue-O!" Dark Phantom remarks with a sneer.
"Uhh I think the name is G-Lo, Sir." Ghoul says.
"Grrr, you know what I mean!" Dark Phantom growls as he keeps firing at G-Lo while they run out of the destroyed building with all the cash they could take.
G-Lo does her best to avoid the rays, it looks like she is dancing the "Juchiman's zapateo" with how fast she is moving her feet. She doesn't know what the effects of the weapon will be but she is not thrilled to find out. The translucent girl notices a sewer cover near her. She then grabs the manhole cover and swings it straight towards Dark Phantom.
"Sir look out!" Ghoul exclaims and pushes Dark Phantom aside. Making the manhole hit Ghoul.
G-Lo lets her guard down as she hits the non-aggressor villain, she barely stops herself from asking if he is alright. That gave Dark Phantom the opportunity to fire at G-Lo and in a second she is frozen solid.
"Hah! See where selflessness gets you!?" Dark Phantom cackles as he makes a smug look on his face.
Ghoul then got back up, still hurt from the attack with the manhole cover. "Ok sir let's get out of here..." Ghoul grunts as he takes some of the moneybags.
"Just one more thing..." Dark Phantom pulled out a hammer and sauntered over to the frozen hero. "I wonder what will happen when this gelatinous hero is in pieces~?" Dark Phantom mockingly sang out much to Ghouls horror and to G-Lo's fear.
"Sir, we don't have time for this! Atreno P.E.A.C.E. headquarters is just around the corner, we need to leave!" Ghoul yells out in panic.
"Ok, I'll just take a little piece as a trophy," says Dark Phantom, as he aims for her head.
Then all of sudden the hammer is knocked out of Dark Phantom's hand. "Hey! I was just going to take a piece of her hair, piss off." Just when he turned back the villain saw Sunblast standing right in front of him, he could feel how his blood ran out cold. That is until he realized they are almost the same height. "Wait..aren't you su- supposed to be… this size?" Dark Phantom asks while showing the height of a palm between his hands..
"Well it looks like the news of my condition is pretty outdated then." Sunblast remarks and despite him being shorter than his real height he is still intimidating and bold.
Dark Phantom stands back a bit and says "W…well- ho-how have you been? We met a few weeks ago… when you were Penumbra's pet..." Dark Phantom stutters out until he feels a hand around his throat. "Ach!"
"You must be confused, villain. I don´t mix with the likes of you and your kind of people." Sunblast narrowed his eyes and they glowed the color orange at Dark Phantom to seemingly tell him to "Shut up!". Most importantly Sunblast is nobody's pet!
"Oh but some time ago… *cof-cof*... you are all so happy to be with us, that you got a place to stay… *cof cof*... you double faced asshole!" Dark Phantom cackles with a grin on his face while moving one of his hands while Sunblast isn't watching. "I really despise your kind."
"The feeling is mutual, scum." Sunblast whispers as he tossed him on the ground.
Dark Phantom struggles to get back on his feet. "What an original insult… *cof cof*... Penny definitely should have left you as a pet, at least you are good at that…" The villain uses the term "pet" again, but soon he knew he fucked up when Sunblast gritted his teeth and his solar power rose up. Dark Phantom clears his throat as Sunblast is slowly walking towards him. "That is so lame that you almost made me miss Vanity, at least he had style." Dark Phantom remarks as he looks around. put a hand on his pockets and shakily gets up to face him. "Maybe you need a little lesson in humility too." He is limping on one foot but he doesn't back down as he aims the gun at the hero.
Sunblast dashes in front of him and then swiftly punches Dark Phantom in the gut and breaks the gun. He then turns to G-Lo and uses his sun powers to melt the ice, but just when he is about to break her free Ghoul used a flash grenade and threw a sleeping syringe to his neck.
"Come on Sir, we have to go!" Ghoul says until G-Lo breaks free from the partially melted ice.
"Oh no you won't!" G-Lo yells out in frustration. She is momentarily blinded but keeps on trying to chase them.
"OH YES, WE WILL!" Dark Phantom says as he picks up the pieces of the broken weapon and throws them around in different directions while they disappear between the buildings. G-Lo doesn't know where they went, so she followed the sounds.
Ghoul picked up all the bags he could carry, threw some coins around to do the same thing that his boss does to confuse her and helped him get out of there. Part of the money is left behind but at least they are free.
And then the horror began, the flashes were everywhere, people started to take pictures, record the events and talk about what was happening at the bank, but when they approached the crime scene all that they found was two defeated heroes and most of the money was gone…
