" Planeteer alert!!"

In seconds the Planeteers gathered in the crystal chamber. That's what it meant to be a Planeteer; you were on call 24/7. Pollution waited for no one. And they couldn't afford to let anything happen to the Earth. Gaia's life depended on their success.

" What is it Gaia?" Kwame asked.

" I am afraid it is not an it, but a who." She said.

" Whoever it is, we can handle it. They're no problem for us Gaia." Wheeler said.

" Think again Wheeler." She said waving her hand across the console.

Upon screen came an image they had hoped they'd never see again. An entire forest burning down because of a person they thought was dead and gone. Someone they would have given anything to not face again.

" Captain Pollution!!" They all cried at once.

" But.. How... Who?!" Gi asked.

" I'm not sure, but he means business this time. He's wasted no time in destroying the rain forest in that area. If he's allowed to continue, we won't have any forests left." Gaia said.

" That creep! I thought Cap got rid of him!" Wheeler said.

" He's just like a bad rash." Ma-ti said.

" And he's after more than just destruction this time Planeteers." She said.

" What now?" Linka asked.

" Check out the ground over there." She said.

As the screen zoomed in, a message drawn in mudd became clear.

" This one's for you Planet." Wheeler read.

" That jerk!" Gi said.

" He wants a fight." Ma-ti said.

" That's right. There's no telling what he will do until he gets one." Gaia said.

" If it's a fight he wants, then he'll get one. Let's jet guys!" Wheeler said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

" Where is he?!!!"

Captain Pollution was angry. He had issued that challenged at least an hour ago and there was still no sign of his eco-counter part. He figured his fire would have pissed him off no less than a little.

" Calm down Pollution. He'll be here soon enough. Go burn another forest if you're so bored." Looten Plunder said.

" I don't want to burn another forest! I want to burn Captain Planet!!" He yelled throwing a chair into a wall.

" Isn't this clone a little more, shall we say emotional than the original?" He said.

" It's the best I could do on what was left of his DNA. Don't worry. He'll be enough to handle Captain Planthead!" Dr. Blight said.

" I certainly hope so. Lately that eco-do-gooder has been frying my bacon!" Hoggish Greedly said.

" That's about to change. I'm going to get his attention again!" He said walking out of the room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Planeteers were on their way to the burning rain forest. They couldn't just allow Pollution to do what he wanted because he wanted to fight. He must have wanted to get revenge over the two times he was beaten.

" What do we do when we get there?" Ma-ti asked.

" Easy, we get there, call Cap, have him bruise Pollution and go home." Wheeler said.

" It's not that simple. He's got a plan otherwise he wouldn't be calling out Captain Planet." Kwame said.

" Pollution's a punk. Cap can handle it." Wheeler said.

" I agree with Kwame. He's got something up his slimy sleeve. And I don't like it." Gi said.

" Ya'll are putting too much into this. I'm tellin' ya, this won't take long!" Wheeler said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gaia wondered over what was going to happen. She trusted Pollution like she trusted a conman. He had something planned to want to fight Captain Planet that badly. Something was wrong.

" Hey mama! You're as hott as Blight said you were."

Gaia whipped around in shock. She had never been in thought so deep she didn't know who was on her Island. Especially not him.

" Captain Pollution. How did you make it to my island?" She asked calmly.

" It was easy. There was a map with a big X on it in Blight's lab." He said landing in front of her.

" How did you get here again?" She asked.

" Cloned." He said shrugging.

" Captain Planet isn't here. The Planeteers are off to that forest you burned down to try and help." She said.

" I didn't come here for him, babe. I came to see you." He said walking over to her.

Gaia backed up. She didn't like the look on his face. He placed his hands on either side of her on the console behind her. Gaia was stuck.

" Why me?" She asked coolly.

" C'mon baby, do you really think Planthead would be bending over backwards trying to save this planet if you weren't the spirit of it?" He asked.

" The survival of this planet means as much to him as it does to me." She said.

" Get real sweetheart. Drop the chicken dinner and get with a winner. Leave him alone and come with me." He said.

" Back off Pollution!!"

Both of them turned to see the Planeteers and Captain Planet standing in the entrance to the Crystal Chamber. And he didn't look too happy to see Pollution.

" You wanted to fight me, so let's go." He said.

" Pacifist Planet wants to rumble? There's something new. Was it me being here? Or maybe the trees? Or maybe because I'm pushing up on your girl?" He taunted.

" Did you come to talk or fight?" He snapped.

" Ouch. Let's take it outside peace lover." He said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The two Captains floated opposite each other in the sky; staring each other down. It was obvious they didn't like each other. And clear they would love to tear into each other.

" I shouldn't even be up here. Your rivalry with me has nothing to do with my forests Pollution. Leave them out of it." Planet said.

" Pacifist my eye! You can talk all you want about being nonviolent and a conscientious objector, but admit it! You want to beat my face in don't you?!" Pollution asked.

Opting not to admit that his evil half was right, he said nothing.

" Well you get your chance eco-hero. Let's dance!" He said charging.

However, before the first punch could be thrown, a bright light blinded them. Both put their hands up to shield their eyes.

Up above them was a large circular disk. It was black and shiny and the source of the bright light.

" What kind of trick is this Planet?!!" Pollution asked.

" Me?! I've beaten you before I don't need to cheat!" He shouted back.

The light settled over them and paralyzed their bodies. No matter how much they struggled, they couldn't move. And the light was drawing them into the bow of the ship above.

" What's going on?!" Pollution said.

" We're getting kidnapped you idiot!" Planet said.

The ship closed and flew away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Both Captains were dropped on the cold, metal floor of the ship. As they groaned from the hard landing, they could see they were not in Kansas anymore.

Lights and sounds from computers they had never seen before. The sight of their planet getting smaller and smaller. And two large black creatures standing over them laughing.

" Who are you?" Planet asked holding his head.

" We are collectors f rare species of space." One said.

" And you two are our newest editions." The other said.

Planet and Pollution looked to the two aliens, then to the chambers of creatures that were around them.

" Aw crap." Both said.
