Xaron's Rampage

"It's good to be back," Lucas commented. "We had a nice vacation, even though we had to deal with a mutant."
"The best part of it was marrying my dream girl," Trip said. "And the honeymoon didn't hurt either."
"You're so romantic, Trip," Khlana responded.
"I'd better check with Captain Logan to make sure there were no problems with mutants while we were away," Jen decided.
"I'll go with you," Alex said.
At Time Force Headquarters, Captain Logan smiled when the two officers expressed their concern.
"Aside from a couple of burglaries, there's been no trouble in your absence," he assured them. "The robbers are now in the Cryoprison."
Meanwhile, a large ape casually walked into the local health club. "I'd like to apply for membership," he told the woman at the desk. "After all, apes have to stay physically fit, too."
"I'm sorry, Xaron," she said. "But we have a rule here. No mutants allowed."
"I'm not leaving until you let me become a member!"
The lady called security. As the guards ran up, Xaron knocked them aside. He ran into the nearest exercise room.
"If I can't be a member, no one else can either!" he roared. He knocked a man off a stationary bicycle, picked the machine up, and threw it down, smashing it to pieces.
All the humans fled. Xaron began destroying every exercise machine in the place. Just then, Alex and Jen rushed in.
"Time Force! You're under arrest!" Jen shouted as she and her boyfriend showed their badges.
The simian put his hands up. "Venting's over," he said. "You've got me."
Alex stepped forward, and prepared to handcuff the ape. Suddenly, Xaron grabbed Alex by one arm, and Jen by the other. He pulled the manacles out of Alex's hands, and handcuffed the young lovers together.
"Ha! I fooled you!" he gloated. "You didn't think I'd let you stop me, did you?"
"I should have seen this coming," Jen said.
Xaron dragged the officers down the hall, and locked them in the sauna. Then he set the dial to the highest temperature.
"You can't just leave us here!" Alex protested.
"But I can. Someone may find you, but when they do, it will be too late. I always wanted to heat up this romance."
He left, and continued smashing things up.
Trip, Khlana, Lucas, and Katie were at headquarters, when the gem on Trip's forehead glowed.
"I'm getting something," he revealed.
"I'm getting it, too," Khlana realized.
"There's a DNA reading coming from the health club," Circuit informed them.
"And Jen and Alex are in trouble!" Trip exclaimed.
Inside the sauna, Alex and Jen felt the heat intensifying. "Alex, it's too much for me," Jen groaned. I.. feel.." She suddenly collapsed.
"Oh no! Jen!" Alex said.
But help was coming. Trip, Khlana, Lucas, and Katie raced to the club.
"They're in the sauna!" Khlana said. "Lucas, you and Katie break them out. Trip and I will go after the mutant."
Lucas and Katie arrived at the sauna. Lucas tried the door.
"It's locked tight," he said.
"Allow me," Katie answered. She broke the door off its hinges. Then she and Lucas looked in. By this time, both officers were unconscious.
They got their friends out. Katie checked them over. "They're still alive," she said. "We got them out just in time." She broke the handcuffs.
Trip and Khlana then showed up. With them was Xaron, locked in chains, and ready to be transported to the Cryoprison.
"How?--" Lucas began.
"We caught him in the locker room, trying to bust up the lockers," Trip explained. "And we captured him by using a plan I came up with on our way over here."
"We'd better get our friends outside," Lucas advised.
While Trip and Khlana transported Xaron to prison, Lucas and Katie carried Alex and Jen outside. They set the officers on the ground.
Alex woke up first. "Ohhh, what happened?" he moaned. "How did I get out here?"
Jen came to a second later. "Alex? How'd we end up outside?"
Their friends explained. "Well," Jen remarked. "That brute may be in custody, but he caused considerable damage. It'll take time and money to replace all that broken equipment."
"Right," Alex agreed. "But I have those machines at my place. Feel free to come over for a workout."
"You got it!" his fellow officers answered.
