"Okay, first thing's first," Jack said the instant they returned to his lair. "I'm going to call up Chase Young and rub this in his face!"

"Oh really?" A voice said.

"Yeah, real—AH!" Jack Spicer leaped backwards as Chase Young's face appeared on the massive computer screen in his lab.

"Are you the imbecile who TRASHED MY FORTRESS AND ROBBED MY LIBRARY?" Chase Young demanded.

Jack paused for a second. "Nah, you got the wrong imbecile. Good bye," He pressed a button on his giant keyboard. Chase Young's face flickered for a second and then vanished from the screen entirely. Jack was in the process of turning around when the criminal mastermind's face came back on the screen. Jack started hammering on all of the buttons simultaneously. "Good bye! Good bye! I said GOOD BYE!"

"Don't bother. I've already hacked into your computer network," Chase Young said with a self-congratulatory smirk. "And I'll crash it and every other piece of electronic garbage that you have in this dump of a lair until you return my books. And I might just destroy everything anyway, even if you do. Your choice,"

"Oh, that's cool. Harsh, but cool," Jack replied. "Let's see…a crushing decision…how about no?"

"Wrong answer," Chase Young said coolly. His face left the screen temporarily. About 10 seconds later, the Jack-bots started shooting at each other, emptying their load of weaponry on the walls, ceiling, and each other. Jack and Wuya cowered underneath a small pile of scrap metal that used to be the Transforming Bot.

After about a minute or two, Jack's basement/lair was completely trashed. There were robot parts everywhere, burn marks on the walls and ceiling, and lots of patches of large, exposed wiring.

Chase Young returned to the screen. "Give me back my books," He said calmly.

"Okay, Mr. Chase Young sir!" Jack Spicer said, scurrying towards the desk where the books were all standing. Wuya rushed to block him.

"Never! Can't you see you're being bullied by this…this…bully?" Wuya said.

"Yeah, I can see it. Don't wanna see it anymore. So, I'm giving him the books so all this can go away," Jack Spicer replied cheerfully, grabbing the books off the counter and walking back to the computer screen. "Here, Chase. I got your books, in mint condition! I even dusted them off for you!"

Chase Young snapped his fingers and a massive black cougar jumped into the room. It snatched the books out of Jack's hands and disappeared, silent as night. Chase Young gave one last smirk before leaving the computer screen for good.

"Jack! You bumbling coward of a villain! Look what you've done! You've bungled my entire scheme!" Wuya shrieked. Jack merely smiled. "What are you smiling at? Do you think this is funny?"

"Yeah," Jack replied. "Yo, Dude-bot! I'm open!"

The Dude came to life, produced a leather-bound tome from its compartment, and tossed it over to Jack Spicer.

"Oh," Wuya said.

"And you doubted me," Jack said with a laugh. "As if I, Jack Spicer, would ever let myself be intimidated with the likes of him,"

"Spicer!" The voice of Chase Young boomed. Jack screamed and jumped into the arms of one of his Jack-bots. The Dude was standing in a corner, doubling over with laughter. Jack Spicer's evil voice simulator was lying beside its metallic feet.

"Oh ha-ha," Jack muttered to himself, his face reddening with embarrassment.

Kraven the Hunter: You're right about Jack liking the Monkey Staff. I'll fix it and upload it again to make it sound right. And I don't think Chase Young would have ever told him what the Eagle Scope could do, since it really isn't useful without the Fountain of Hui.

Lucky Racer: I know that, but it's funny to think that Jack Spicer doesn't.

Kosmic: Thanks.
