On Today's Episode: The spies arrive in Paris to head off Sagan and whatever she has planned, but mysteries continue to pile on about what exactly Sagan has up her sleeves, and what she intends to do with the Disappearo Device that she stole. Can the spies deal with everything being thrown their way?
Act 2: Ship Happens
7:02 P.M. – Paris, France
The spies all beheld the city of lights.
"Ah, Paris is still as beautiful as I remember it..." Clover giggled and swooned.
Everybody rolled their eyes at that statement from Clover.
"She didn't waste any time, did she?" Alex groaned.
"I think it was a luck of the draw," Mat chuckled.
"Either that or our rogues' gallery knows us too well," Sam sighed.
"To be fair, Alex, the last time Clover and I saw Paris, it was in shambles because of Eitri," Blaine quipped.
"And please spare me an 'oy vey,' Clover..." May groaned, referencing the baguette guy.
"No promises..." Clover giggled.
"Any sign of our fugitive?" Melissa wondered, looking in every direction.
"Hopefully Sagan hasn't gotten far," Nozomi replied.
"She must be close, if she's already surrounding us with her goon squad..." Nick deduced as more of Sagan's henchmen encircled them.
"Let's hope so," Dawn added.
"Wait, who's that knocking them all over like bowling pins?" Melissa wondered.
"It couldn't be Momo... right?" Britney added.
"I don't think so," Alex deduced. "Momo's already with us..."
Once all of the henchmen were down and decided to retreat for the moment, the spies were able to get a good look at whoever this mystery figure was...
...and they immediately got unneeded déjà vu from their mission in Hawaii, because the figure was clad in futuristic sci-fi armor, their face covered completely by a helmet that looked like a cross between a space shuttle helmet and a knight's helmet.
"Let me guess, you're another one of my dad's cronies?" Momo groaned.
The figure's visor retracted to show, of course, another man with green-furred cat ears like Momo's.
"Ystr polib," the knight quipped before unfolding twin laser pistols and firing on the spies, forcing them to dodge away.
Momo was the first to go on the offensive, extending her claws and rushing forward to slash apart the knight's weapons, only for him to reach behind him and activate a long electric trident.
"You can tell my dad to go and stuff it, to coin a phrase Earthlings like to say," Momo taunted. "I already told him and you guys that I'm not coming back."
"Srt ynmu sdrid..." the knight stated before stopping to type something on his wrist device, then resuming. "We don't have to do this, you know. If you would just come back home with us, we can sort things out."
"And let my father drag me back into his incredibly outdated way of thinking?! You can forget it!" Momo shouted. "You know exactly why I left! I'm not going to be a conqueror like dad was! Our people left that part of our past behind for a damn good reason!"
"Yes, because you've all grown soft-hearted and careless," the knight retorted. "We're just trying to earn back our respect."
"Respect?! Don't make me laugh," Momo shot back. "How in the hell is attacking an innocent family respectable?!"
"And here's another thing you need to know, cat-man," Alex proclaimed as the rest of the spies prepared to throw down. "You want her, you're gonna have to go through all of us."
"Oh, don't think you Earthlings are going to stop me," the knight taunted. "I will be taking Zethinia back home, regardless of what she thinks."
"Oh, and another thing?" Momo growled. "Don't you dare call me that anymore."
Momo didn't wait for a reply, lunging forward until she was right in the knight's face.
"My name is Momo."
After ducking under a swing from the knight's trident, Momo slashed upward with her right claw, tearing claw marks in the knight's suit and cutting his trident in half.
This was thankfully enough to get the knight to retreat, as he activated his wrist device and teleported away in a flash of dull green light.
"Way to show that guy who's boss, Momo!" May proclaimed.
"It seems like a lot of your dad's cronies inherited his stubbornness, huh?" Melissa quipped.
"Oh, tell me about it," Momo chuckled.
"And, I'm willing to hazard a guess that Zethinia is your actual name, the one you were born with?" Sam wondered.
"Basically," Momo answered. "But, as you can probably guess, I chose a new name when I came to Earth, so I could distance myself from everything to do with my father."
"So, when you came to Earth, you made a fresh start, pretty much?" Nick quipped.
"Nailed it," Momo giggled.
"Sorry, not to break up this interesting conversation, but maybe we should move on and find Sagan's ship before it leaves Paris and puts us on the chase again?" Haruka asked.
"Yeah, we got distracted by mister alien dude," Alex quipped. "Any sign of Sagan and her big ol' ship, RiCO?"
"It looks like the ship's in place just above the Eiffel Tower," RiCO answered from Nick's X-Powder. "Thankfully, the Disappearo Device just renders the ship invisible to prying eyes, not hiding all of its systems, so I can still pick up its signal."
"All right-y then, let's head back up there, shall we?" Nozomi proclaimed.
7:35 P.M. – Sagan's Mothership
Transport Tunnels
"Man, Sagan's got a lot of strange tech in here," Dawn noted as the spies moved through the transport tunnels of Sagan's mothership, which were filled with various different smaller ships. "Seriously, what's her angle?"
"Hopefully we'll find out soon, because I can sense Sagan close by," Nick stated. "It's almost like she's waiting for us."
"Then let's go and head her off at the pass!" Clover proclaimed.
When the spies left the transport tunnels and made their way through one of the corridors, they eventually found themselves in a circular room where, sure enough, Sagan was waiting for them.
But this time, she was backed up by at least ten of those sci-fi suited figures, each wielding laser tridents.
"...oh, you didn't," Nick groaned.
"What can I say? Their interests do align with my own at the moment," Sagan admitted. "After all, they come from the same alien world that you do, am I right, my dear Zethinia?"
"My name is Momo!" Momo growled, extending her claws to show that she meant business.
"That's not what these strapping lads are saying," Sagan cackled. "Now, on to business, I have things to be doing. You all can take care of them."
Sagan walked off through a nearby door, which left the soldiers to start advancing on the spies.
"Okay, then, don't say I didn't warn you," Momo proclaimed as she and the spies all prepared for a battle.
"I should say the same thing to you," Sagan sneered.
Momo immediately went forward with the first attack, jumping into the center of the crowd of soldiers and spinning around with her claws extended, sending most of them flying and opening up some room for the spies to work.
"Great hit, Momo!" Bridget replied.
The henchmen surrounded the spies.
"Let's spice it up, shall we?" Bridget continued. "Sonic Mode, online!"
Bridget turned on the juice and started speeding around in every direction in an attempt to dizzy out Sagan's henchmen. They complained and complained at how fast Bridget moved until they got incredibly dizzy.
"Now's a good chance!" May proclaimed, using the EGT to summon her trusty anchor. "Time for a little Jellyfish Pirates callback..."
May then hurled her anchor at the dizzy henchmen to send them in a big pile.
"Call that your coup de grace, so to speak," Mat teased.
Sam and Haruka noticed Sagan Hawking had not gotten far and both decided to try go after her.
"Maybe we can catch her!" Haruka told the others as she and Sam made a break for it.
"We'll catch up when we can," Nick told them.
Some of the henchmen started getting back to their feet, and they wanted a round two.
"Can't they just concede defeat for once?!" Clover complained.
"That would be nice," Britney replied. "But that'd be too easy, theoretically..."
"But no doubt we'd like that to happen once," Alex quipped as one of the soldiers tried to knock her down with his trident. She simply dodged backwards and sent them flying with a Sonic Disintegrator Boombox.
"That'd probably only happen once their boss is defeated," May replied as she swung her anchor multiple times to send soldiers flying. "Rules for villains, number eighty-two: once the good guys have captured or defeated your boss, that's usually time for the henchmen to either surrender or escape."
"Got 'em all!" Nozomi cheered a bit once all the soldiers were down.
"Let's hope Sam and Haruka got Sagan now..." Dawn replied.
"Or at least caught up to her," Melissa added.
Clover got out her X-Powder to give Sam a call.
"Sammy, how're you and Haruka holding up?" Clover wondered.
"We've already cornered her," Sam replied.
"Did you all deal with Sagan's henchmen?" Haruka added.
Mat was already checking his DS to pinpoint where Sam and Haruka were.
"You're five minutes ahead of us," Mat told them. "We can catch up quickly."
The spies caught up with Sam and Haruka, who were facing down Sagan Hawking herself.
"You spies are annoyingly persistent, you know that?" Sagan taunted.
"Well, that's our job, lady!" Alex countered. "Seriously, when are you bad guys gonna get that through your thick heads?!"
"I guess I shouldn't be surprised that you beat my new henchmen," Sagan quipped.
"You wanna explain why you hired my dad's cronies to do your dirty work?!" Momo shouted.
"Oh, it's quite simple," Sagan laughed. "They want you back home, and I want all of you out of my hair, so I figured we could put aside our differences for the moment."
"Yeah, and you expect me to believe that?" Momo shot back. "And I already told you, I'm not going back, not while my dad's still there!"
"Oh, but, see, that's the thing, my dear," Sagan cackled. "I'm not giving you a choice."
Sagan whipped out a large cannon and fired off a restraining claw from it, but Momo simply slashed through it with her claws, before rushing forward to cut the cannon apart as well.
"You were saying?" Momo taunted.
"You wouldn't use those on me, would you?" Sagan asked, trying to call Momo's bluff.
In response, Momo retracted her claws, but decided to just sock Sagan in the face with a wicked haymaker instead.
"Stop trying to make me stoop to your level, lady," Momo stated. "I'm nothing like my dad, in case you didn't get that memo."
"Then why are you punching me?!" Sagan shouted, the rest of her rant derailed when Momo grabbed her by the shirt collar and yanked her back to her feet.
"Because you're threatening my friends, that's why," Momo answered. "My people may mostly be peaceful now, but we will throw hands if we have something we want to protect."
Not waiting for more of Sagan's spiel, Momo tossed Sagan into the air before kicking her in the chest on the way back down, sending Sagan flying back down a nearby hallway that she decided to retreat down.
"Nice one, Momo," Sam proclaimed.
"I just felt like punching her, really," Momo giggled.
"Hey, she deserved it," Melissa replied. "So, then, how about we keep up the chase?"
The spies all rushed down the hallway that Sagan had retreated through, only to find a rather large computer console about halfway through the tunnel.
"Yeah, that doesn't look suspicious at all," Clover quipped.
"RiCO, can you scan this terminal for any useful information?" Nick asked.
"Color it done," RiCO proclaimed as Nick set his X-Powder down on the terminal so RiCO could hack into it, making the computer dance to her tune as she sifted through its files.
After about twenty seconds of scanning, a blueprint showed up on the terminal's screen, appearing to be some kind of smaller, but more intricate spacecraft that, according to the liner notes, could transform into multiple different forms.
"Ladies, gentlemen, and extraterrestrials alike, I believe we have found the trump card," May proclaimed.
"It looks like that Disappearo Device she's trying to make is supposed to be equipped on this thing, too," Britney stated.
"Hey, hey, hold on just a minute," Momo quipped, taking a closer look at the schematics. "I recognize some of this technology they're using!"
"You do?" Mat asked.
"Look at the schematic of the outer hull," Momo stated. "That's made up of material from my people's fighter ships!"
"So that must be why those cronies are on Sagan's payroll," Sam deduced. "They don't try to whack her like they did us, and in exchange, they give her access to their tech."
"All in the hopes of dragging me back home," Momo responded. "Well, I think we need to take this info and shove it up Sagan's keester."
"Exactly what I was thinking, Momo," Nick chuckled.
With this new information in hand, the spies continued down the tunnelway until they found what appeared to be a small generator room.
And right there in the center of the room was the Disappearo Device that Sagan had stolen for her mothership.
"Well, well, what have we here?" Dawn quipped.
Momo leaped through the air and slashed at the wires connecting the Disappearo Device to the mothership, allowing Mat to waltz over and pick it up.
"Jerry, RiCO, we've recovered the Disappearo Device that Sagan stole," Mat proclaimed.
"Excellent work, spies," Jerry responded from Sam's X-Powder. "An agent from W.O.O.H.P.'s Paris division will be there soon to extract it."
"Wait, there's actually a W.O.O.H.P. in Paris now?" Clover gasped as Nick blasted a hole in the wall with a Final Shine Attack so Mat could ferry the Disappearo Device out into the city and towards the approaching chopper.
"It was a more recent addition," RiCO responded. "After everything that happened with Eitri when she shattered the world, we figured we might need a few more divisions, you know, to lighten the load on us a bit."
"That sounds very convenient," Mat quipped when he'd returned to the ship.
"YOU WRETCHES ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT!" Sagan's voice crackled over the loudspeakers. "DON'T THINK I DIDN'T SEE YOU!"
"Oh, what, you're salty that we took back what doesn't belong to you in the first place?" Alex taunted.
A crowd of mooks showed up to greet the spies, a mix of Sagan's regular henchmen and those alien soldiers.
"I guess she is salty," Nick taunted as the spies and Momo prepared for battle. "Who'd have thunk it?"
"My sentiments exactly," Blaine commented.
"So, what's the game plan?" Melissa wondered.
"Allow me to buy you some time," Momo quipped, stepping forward to battle Sagan Hawking and her henchmen.
"We'll get the henchmen," Sam proclaimed.
"And at least help Momo out with Sagan if she..." Bridget suggested until Momo cut in.
"No way," Momo stated. "Sagan is mine and mine alone. Believe me, I have a major score to settle with this wacko!"
"You sure about that?" Nick wondered. "We can help when we get a few free moments..."
"That's fine," Momo replied.
A henchman tried to corner Mat, but Mat was immediately on the defensive side of things once the henchman threw the first punch. Mat responded back with a punch to the privates and then rolled the henchman into a group of other henchmen coming to his aid.
"Always enjoy a bit of bowling," Mat quipped.
Sam, Clover, and May were cornered by a group of henchmen of their own.
"Almost a déjà vu of before," Clover commented.
"But I know we'll be able to come back," Sam confidently stated.
"We should..." May quipped, summoning her trusty anchor.
The group of several henchmen attempted to corner the spies again, but Sam immediately started running and flipped over all of them. May used their stunned feelings to their advantage and hurled her anchor at all four of them.
"I swear, you two had that figured out," Clover commented.
Nick, Haruka, and Nozomi were also working with some more henchmen.
One of Sagan's henchmen fired a laser pistol at Haruka, but Nick raised a psychic barrier to protect her.
"You shouldn't have done that, little boy!" one of the alien soldiers exclaimed, unfolding an electric trident and stabbing at Nick, thinking he'd be easy pickings while protecting a friend.
Nick quickly proved him very wrong when he blew the soldier back with a psychic pulse from his free hand.
Nozomi ducked under another alien soldier, grabbed his trident by the not-electrified handle, and swung him around with it before tossing him into a pile of other mooks.
"She swings and she scores!" Nick exclaimed.
"Aw, you noticed?" Nozomi giggled.
Melissa and Bridget had dealt with their own henchmen and saw Momo battling with Sagan Hawking one-on-one.
"And just what do you think you're going to accomplish all by yourself?" Sagan laughed.
Momo quickly shut Sagan up by lunging forward and landing a resounding windmill kick across the side of Sagan's head, sending her tumbling backwards.
"Maybe don't taunt the alien with crazy powerful legs?" Momo taunted. "Just a thought."
"So help me, you'll learn your place, cat lady!" Sagan growled as she unfolded a gadget that fired off electric fields much like the ones she'd used to capture Momo earlier.
This time, however, Momo was ready for them, leaping over the electric fields and slicing apart the drones with her claws if they got too close.
"What do you think? Should we help out?" Bridget wondered.
"No choice from my perspective, we help out!" Melissa exclaimed.
"Got that right," Britney added after getting out of a scrum with three other henchmen.
"Remember, Momo, we're a team and you're one of us until we help you solve your dilemma," Bridget replied.
"Well, in that case," Momo giggled. "Let's mess her up together, then."
"Try me!" Sagan exclaimed as she threw strange spikes down around the spies. The instant Nick saw electricity lancing between the spikes, he raised his hands to surround everyone nearby with a psychic bubble to avoid the massive shock that came soon after.
"Well, so much for that gimmick," Nick taunted.
"You're calling my magnificent technology a gimmick, boy?!" Sagan shouted.
"Yes, we are, especially considering that electric snare trap you just tried on us is something you ganked from my people," Momo countered. "Is there really no low you won't sink to?!"
"No, there isn't!" Sagan exclaimed as she charged in to attack directly.
"Now what do we do?" Nozomi chastised.
"Momo was giving a whole new meaning to 'cut and run' up until now..." Alex commented.
"That's a great idea, Alex!" Sam quipped. "We can still do the 'cut and run' ourselves..."
"Come on and give it your best shot!" Sagan taunted as she threw more electric snares towards Sam and Alex.
"Don't even think about it!" Mat shot back, firing a Laser Chapstick to shoot down the snares before they could hit their target.
"Oh, there's plenty more where that came from," Sagan cackled, only to be frozen in place by Nick's psychic hold.
"Yeah, well, you've got a bunch of lumps that you need to take, especially from our friend over here," Nick stated. "Momo, you know what to do."
"Oh, I most certainly do," Momo chuckled as she bent backwards to wind up. Sagan, in her frozen helplessness, could only widen her eyes as Momo hit her with a wicked right hook that sent her spiraling down another nearby hallway.
"I felt that one," Dawn quipped.
"Now beat it unless you want another one," Momo proclaimed before gesturing to the henchmen. "And that goes double for the rest of you, too."
Thankfully, that seemed to be enough to convince the henchmen to follow a retreating Sagan down that hallway, the alien soldiers deciding to teleport away in a dull green flash.
"Yeah, that's what I thought," Momo taunted as she doubled back to rejoin the spies. "All right, so, what's the game plan?"
"I guess all we can really do is keep chasing Sagan until we can take her and her trump card down," Melissa responded. "That's usually how most of our capers end, especially lately."
"Thankfully, it doesn't look like she got too far," Nick quipped after using his psychic radar. "Let's keep moving."
"Oh, by the way, everyone, sorry that I got a little... let's call it 'heated' earlier when it came to Sagan," Momo admitted.
"Hey, we all have our moments when it comes to the baddies we have personal beef with," Sam answered. "Look up a guy named Tim Scam someday, have we got stories about that creep-a-tronic."
"Friends help each other, that's just a known fact of life," Nick replied. "Um... actually, on that note... are we friends? I didn't want to assume, so..."
Momo looked at the spies, remembering how they'd so swiftly chosen to help her despite not really knowing her that well. She'd only been on Earth for about a month, after all.
But when she looked at the spies, she saw a tightly-knit group of longtime friends that wouldn't be separated by anything, no matter what outside forces tried to wrench them apart. It was something she hadn't really had in a while, given her father and his... stubbornness.
And now that she was stuck here on Earth, possibly permanently, she couldn't help but think that... maybe this was what she needed. People she could consider honest-to-Zorth friends.
While Nick was trying to sputter out a statement, Momo put that fear to rest by walking up and hugging him.
"Yeah, we're friends," Momo proclaimed. "Now let's go do the friend thing and kick Sagan's keester."
With that, the spies all set out down the access tunnel that Sagan had retreated through earlier, finding more strange alien technology along the way.
"Man, it's like a museum of alien stuff here," Alex stated.
"How much of my people's technology does she really have here?" Momo wondered. "It can't just be for hew secret weapon, can it?"
"Remember, a lot of our rogues' gallery are really petty," Melissa replied. "They'll concoct some incredibly elaborate scheme with seven dozen bells and whistles, and they'll only use it to either do petty things like rob banks, or just to take revenge on us."
"I often wonder how you put up with it happening so often, considering the kind of rogues' gallery you have," Momo stated.
"It's really something you just have to get used to when it comes to working for W.O.O.H.P.," Nick answered. "Trust me, that's definitely an acquired taste."
Suddenly, an alien soldier dropped from the ceiling and attempted to pounce on Momo while she was unaware of him, but Nick blasted him away with a Final Shine Attack.
"You'll learn that you can't fool psychics that easily, especially on this planet," Nick quipped.
"This is the last time I'm going to warn you and your goons," Momo growled, extending her claws to show she meant business. "I am not going back. Not for you, not for dad, not for anybody."
"But what about your poor mother?" the solider taunted. "Do you have any idea how hard she's been taking your 'leave of absence'?"
"Yeah, well, I know the second I'm back in dad's 'presence', he's going to try and poison my mind with his 'great conqueror' nonsense," Momo shot back. "We abandoned those dark days. We left our past in the past where it belongs. Why can't you just leave it be?!"
"Because you don't know your place," the soldier responded as he lunged to grab Momo, only to instead get punched in the face by Nick, shattering the glass casing of his helmet in the process.
"That's my friend you're insulting, you know," Nick retorted. "Now make yourself scarce before I get nasty. And trust me, you don't want that."
Deciding it wasn't worth it, the soldier scuttled off down the hallway.
"All right-y, then, let's get a move on ourselves," Nick quipped. "I have a feeling we're getting close."
"I sure hope so, too, for Momo's sake," Mat commented as they all made a break for who-knew-where. "I mean, it's one thing for parents to suck sometimes, but if they don't let you have your freedom and chase your dreams, that's another thing."
"Totally," Alex quipped. "It's one thing that Mat has a family to go home to – granted it is Hawaii, after all – but our moms are in Europe and we've been living independently since our junior year at Bev High."
"True," Nick added. "Melissa and Dawn are my only family here, but you factor out Mat's family in Hawaii, we're really all he has, especially Sam, Britney, and Melissa."
"I never thought of that," Clover stated. "But yeah, that's right."
Sam knew that all too well when you consider how many times she swooned over Dean right in front of Mat, despite she still had Mat as number one in her heart.
Nick, on the other hand, was using his psychic radar to pinpoint where Sagan and her henchmen were.
"Anything, Nick?" Bridget wondered.
"Yeah, she's not far away," Nick answered.
"Hopefully we can beat them there for once," Haruka replied.
"Maybe we can..." Bridget smirked. "Never doubt the super speed. Sonic Mode, online!"
She then kicked up the juice and got to that said location to beat Sagan and her henchmen.
"Advice for heroes, number forty," May quipped. "Head your foes off at the pass – it usually works!"
"Word..." Melissa giggled.
"At least they're still in the vicinity of Paris," Dawn replied.
"I'll say," Blaine commented.
"I just hope we don't see... him..." May groaned, referring to Clover's French baguette guy.
Nick, Alex, and Sam immediately knew what May was getting at.
Please save May an 'oy vey', Clover... Nick thought, sending his thoughts to Clover.
"She said 'no guarantees,' Nick," Nozomi quietly stated.
"That's the point," Nick quietly replied back.
Sometime later, the spies heard footsteps, and they knew it had to have been Sagan Hawking and her henchmen.
"What's up alien wannabes? Ya lost?!" Alex proclaimed, surprising them all.
"Don't humor us," Sagan growled, knowing they were cut off early.
"Time for you to answer to Momo," Clover remarked.
"Oh, please, do you really think I care at this point?" Sagan proclaimed. "We'll see how this really goes down once I'm through with you."
Sagan raised her right wrist to show the spies a device strapped to it, one that looked suspiciously like the ones the alien soldiers were wearing.
"...oh, you didn't," Momo growled.
"Do you realize that you're in trouble now?" Sagan cackled. "...are you scared, Zethinia? You should be."
Sagan activated the wrist device, covering her in a spiral of dull green light for a few seconds.
("Take Over" by Lyn Inaizumi plays)
When the light cleared up, Sagan was now wearing a suit of armor similar to what the alien soldiers wore, only more tailor-made to fit her.
"This is where your personal feelings officially mean nothing, little alien girl," Sagan proclaimed, unfolding an electric trident in her hands. "You're going down. And that goes for you, too, you wretched spies!"
"How many times have you said that before?" Sam shot back. "And how many times have you gotten stomped because of it?!"
Sagan simply lunged forward with her trident, stabbing at the spies multiple times while they each dodged away.
"Yes, that's right, flee, cowards!" Sagan laughed, only to stumble forwards when Momo landed from her perch on one of the consoles and slashed at Sagan from behind.
"Guess you've never heard of a distraction, huh?" Momo taunted.
Sagan began spinning her trident around to keep the spies away, but Clover grabbed an Expandable Mascara Brush, extended it, and thrust it forward, stopping the spinning trident long enough for Britney to jump forward and kick it out of Sagan's hands.
"Ah, it actually is mighty fine for once," Clover giggled.
"Who said I was done?" Sagan chuckled as she pressed a button on her wrist device to summon two wicked-looking energy daggers to her hands.
"Oh, now you're just being rude," Sam quipped.
Sagan charged into the crowd of spies, stabbing at them with her daggers until May came rushing in and swung her anchor with enough force to send Sagan flying into a nearby console.
Sagan quickly picked herself up and started swinging her daggers rapidly, each swing flinging a blade of energy for the spies, which forced them to scatter in different directions to avoid getting skewered.
"Who's got the upper hand now, you wretches?!" Sagan laughed.
"It's not even your own technology, just something you 'borrowed' from my people," Momo taunted. "Don't act like you're so special."
"You're really not in any mood to be making empty threats towards me, Zethinia," Sagan retorted.
"For the last and absolutely final time, my name is Momo!" Momo shouted, sending Sagan flipping into the air with a claw uppercut slash. "As far as I'm concerned, 'Zethinia' is gone!"
Momo leaped after Sagan, swatting her in the face a few times before yanking the wrist device off of her wrist, and finishing by kicking Sagan in the chest, sending her crashing back into another console at the edge of the room.
Without the wrist device, Sagan's alien armor dissipated quickly.
"Yeah, try fighting us without your dumb stolen tech," Alex taunted.
"Oh, but did you forget that I have a trump card just waiting in the wings?" Sagan laughed. "We'll pick this up again very soon."
With that said, Sagan retreated down the nearby hallway, leaving the spies to pursue their target.
Momo stayed behind for just a few seconds to investigate the wrist device Sagan had used to fight the spies. She still wondered why those soldiers were working with Sagan, given that her father wasn't really... fond of other alien races.
"It can't just be the deal to share technology," Momo quipped. "What's your real scheme, dad?"
Shaking it off for the moment, Momo tossed the wrist device aside and started bouncing down the hallway to catch up with the spies.
To be continued...
Next time...
Alex: All right, lady, you might as well give it up now! You have no idea how many 'secret weapons' we've trashed, and this one's gonna be no different!
Sagan: How painfully naïve that you'd say that when you have no idea what this is capable of.
Melissa: You're the one being cocky and overconfident!
Nick: How about you just show us what you've got in store so we can take it apart?!
Sagan: ...well, if you insist.
Mat: ...really? A flying saucer is your big weapon?
Sagan: Remember the old saying, spies: looks can be deceiving.
Bridget: ...oh, who thinks that was any sort of good?
Momo: It appears that it's time for the final showdown, so let's chase that UFO all the way to the final act of Totally Spies: Close Encounters of the Freaky Kind, "Out For Launch"!
Haruka: Wow, the CGI on our 'final boss' actually looks really good. How do they do it?
