It was the dead of night in Jump City, and on top of some building roof tops, there was four masked bad guys, while one of them was wearing a black helmet, were dressed in black costumes, running from something,

As it is revealed to be Agent Venom, Cyandog, Kaede, Aquagirl and Blue Beetle, as they five of them were chasing after the four masked people.

Beetle then flew up using his jetpack, and flies over the masked people and landing in-front of them, which made them stop running, as one of them faces Blue Beetle, while the other three turned around to face Venom, Kaede, Cyandog and Aquagirl.

Then, the masked being facing Beetle then charges at him, as she leaps up and lifts up her right leg, to deliver an axe kick at him, as Beetle quickly lifted up both his arms and blocks the axe kick with his forearms, as he then pushes the masked person up, as she then performs and spinning flip and she lands on the ground, on her feet, sticking the landing as she then charges in to attack again.

Meanwhile the other three masked beings charges at Agent Venom, Kaede, Cyandog and Aquagirl, as they all split up to attack one another.

Aquagirl and Cynadog were fighting one of the masked being, as Cyandog was shooting his machine gun gauntlets at the masked being, but he was quickly dodging the gauntlet fire, as he charges at Cyandog, who then stops shooting and leaps up, to toss his right fist at him, but the masked being grabbed Cyandog's wrist and swings him aside.

While Aquagirl charges in and jumps up, swinging her left leg to deliver a left swinging kick but the masked being quickly ducks and dodges the kick, as Aquagirl lands on her feet and then tosses her right fist at the masked being's face but he quickly tiled his head to the left, dodging her punch, Aquagirl then pulled her right fist back and then tosses her left fist at him, only to tile his head to the right, to dodge it again, as she then steps back, and lifts up her right leg, swinging it at the masked being, but he manages to grabbed it just before it could hit him and he then pushes it away, pushing her back.

Meanwhile Agent Venom and Kaede were fighting the other two masked being, as Venom charges at one of the masked being, as he tackles her, but she stood her ground, as she plants both her hands on Venom's stomach and then lifts him off his feet, tossing him over his shoulder and slamming him into the ground.

While Kaede was fighting the black helmeted figure, as she was delivering jabs at her, but she was blocking all of Kaede's jabs with her forearms, before she then blocks Kaede's right fist with her right wrist and the two of them held there, pushing against each other, as the black helmeted being then swings her left leg upward, to kick Kaede in the side of her head, but she quickly releases her fist and then dodges the kick and does a backflip, getting away from the black helmeted being.

While Agent Venom, Kaede, Aquagirl, Blue Beetle ad Cyandog were fighting the masked beings, but then the sound of a bullhorn was blasted, which gets everyone's attention an made everyone stop fighting as they all turned and looked at where the bullhorn came from.

They all saw A-Bomb and Metabee, as the two of them were standing before them all, as Metabee was holding up the bullhorn, while A-Bomb was holding up and looking at a stopwatch in his right hand, as he presses the stop button and checks the time.

"Half an hour and the bad guys still haven't been contained, sloppy, guys, really sloppy." A-Bomb told Agent Venom, Kaede, Aquagirl, Cyandog and Blue Beetle, as he looked serious and disappointed.

As the masked beings then took off their masks, revealing that the three of them were Ava, Randy and Julie, while the black helmeted being press a button on the side of her helmet and the colour changes from black to yellow, revealing to be Kaikaina.

As this was all just a training exercise for Agent Venom, Kaede, Aquagirl, Cyandog and Blue Beetle.

"To contain a villain, you have to use any method to take them down, to minimize them putting any civilians in danger and to keep property damage to a minimum as well." Ava explained to the five of them, looking serious.

"Hey, give us a break; this is our first training exercise outside the Triskelion." Blue Beetle mentions, as he looked defensive.

"We're still getting use to working together," Aquagirl told them, turning to look at Ava, Randy, Julie and Kaikaina.

"That's the problem; you guys need to really work on being a team, being a team means you gotta be a single force to anything." A-Bomb told them, as he had a calm smile on his face.

Venom's mask then retraces into his suit as she steps forward and looks a bit defensive. "We're beginners, man, we'll get better…" Flash told them, as Cyandog and Kaede slides in, nodding their heads in agreement.

But then, Ava's watch started beeping, as she lifted up her left wrist to look at her watch, before she looked at everyone, "Guys, we should head back to the Triskelion." Ava told everyone,

As everyone then turned to head back to the Triskelion.

But on a building near the building they were on, standing on the roof of it was Taskmaster, as he watches the group of teen heroes leave.


Now back at the Triskelion Island, in the SHED, Randy was sitting at the living area, as he was sitting on the couch, watching TV.

Randy looked bored, as he was the only one on the SHED, he didn't know where A-Bomb, Julie, Ava, Kaikaina and Metabee were.

Then, Chomp comes in and climbed onto the couch, as Randy turned his head away from the TV to look at the baby triceratops,

"Pretty quiet… Wouldn't happen to know where the gang is..?" Randy asked Chomp, looking bored, while the baby triceratops just stared at Randy, as he then turned to look back at the TV. "… Good talk, Chomp…" Randy said,

As he then gets up and walks out of the SHED,


Randy walked across the base, towards the Triskelion building, once entering the building, Randy walked across the large lobby, towards the elevator as he presses the button on its side, and waited for it.

When then doors opened Randy walked inside and presses one of the floor button and the doors closed, as the elevator moved up.

Randy leaned his back against the wall of the elevator, as he had his arms crossed and his eyes closed, as he was waiting patiently, as the elevator reaches its floor, and the doors open, as Randy walked out of it and began to walk down the hallway, towards Nick Fury's office.

Once he reached the door, Randy knocked on it with his left hand, "Hey, Nick, you in, I was hoping that you had any bad guys you want me to smash up?" Randy asked as he then opens the door.

But when he opened it, he saw, in the room, was A-Bomb, Ava, Julie, Kaikaina and Metabee, all sitting around the conference table,

A-Bomb, Ava, Julie and Metabee all looked shock at seeing Randy, while he stood there, looking confused.

"Hey, what's going on?" Randy asked, wondering, as he looked confused.

"Uhh…" A-Bomb said, as he looked worried while he looked at Randy.

Randy then looked at the table, as there was a holo-screen, with images of the Syndicate, with pictures of Felix, Killer Croc, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Killer Frost and Toad, all in different locations, as they were pictures taken from a distance, with none of them knowing.

Randy got even more confused on what was going on, "Guys… What's going on?" Randy asked, as he looked a bit more serious, as he looked at his teammates.

But no one answered, but only just stared at him,

Randy was now in deep thought as he then knew what they were doing, "Are you guys, havin' some kind of meeting..?" Randy said, looking annoyed.

Ava had a calm but serious look on her face, as she looked at Randy, "Yes, we're trying to figure out the where Taskmaster is and what he's planning." She explained to Randy,

Randy then looked confused, on why their trying to find where Taskmaster is, but he wasn't included, in fact, why wasn't he even told about it. "But… why didn't you tell me about it..?" He asked, wanting an answer.

Julie looked a bit worried, as she looked at Randy, "We… thought that… you wouldn't be up for it…" She mentioned,

But Randy looked shock at hearing that, why would they assume that, he wants to find and take down Taskmaster more than anyone, he would have jumped the second he was told about this, but why would they not tell him about this.

"I… I don't get it; don't you guys trust me..?" Randy asked them,

But A-Bomb, Ava, Julie, Kaikaina and Metabee didn't answer, only turned away from Randy, to avoid eye contact with him, as none of them answered him.

Randy then looked completely horrified and speechless, as the fact that none of them wanted answer that spoke for itself.

"You don't…" Randy said, completely shocked that his teammates and friends didn't trust him.

Metabee quickly stands up on his chair and jump on to the table, to look at Randy with a look of plead in his eyes, "No, we didn't say that, Randy, we just wasn't sure if… you know… we should trust ya with this thing…" Metabee said, awkwardly,

Julie quickly stood up, as she looked at Metabee with a look of shock, "Bee!" She yelled as that wasn't any better.

"But why!? You know that I want to take down Taskmaster just as much as anyone, so why did you keep it a secret from me!?" Randy yelled, demanding to know why,

But then, Ava stood up and glared at Randy, "Because how can we trust you with something like this, after you turned on us!" She yelled at him,

Randy looked speechless after hearing that, shocked that she would bring up how he betrayed them and briefly worked with Gene Khan to steal the Makulan Rings from them.

"Why would you bring that up, I thought we moved passed that!" Randy said, looking hurt and angry.

"Randy, you betrayed us, you attacked us, our trust in you was shattered, I know you went back to our side but you can't expect for us to just turn around and just forget everything that happened, just so everything would be better, it doesn't work like that." Ava told Randy, as she had a straight face, as she glares at Randy.

But Randy got angry, "So what, all that 'We'll give up our S.P.D. badges and quit S.H.I.E.L.D. for Randy' was just something to keep an eye on me, none of it was personally, none of you cared!" He yelled at them,

Kaikaina then stood up and looked at Randy, "That's not true!" She argued, not wanting Randy to put words in their mouths

"Randy, the only thing all of us were thinking about on that day was you, we cared about you, and we still do." Julie told Randy, looking worried and concerned,

"But you still left me outta the loop, I know what I did, I can't be make up for, but I'm trying, the only thing that's keeping me from gain your trust is you willing to accept it!" Randy yelled at them, before hanging his head down and looking away from them.

A-Bomb then stood up and walked over to Randy, as he then puts his right hand on his shoulder, as he looked at Randy with a look of concern. "We were going to tell you, Randy; we knew that you, of all people had a right to be a part of this." A-Bomb tried to explain to Randy,

But then Randy quickly smacks A-Bomb's hand off him, which shocks A-Bomb, as Randy turned around and walked towards the door, only for him to stop and turn his head to the left to look over his shoulder at them, giving them a cold scowl.

"I trust you, each of you… But you gotta make up your minds on if you really trust me…" Randy told them all, as he kept walking and opens the door, walking out of the office, closing the door behind him.

Leaving A-Bomb, Ava, Julie, Kaikaina and Metabee there, lamenting on what happened, with Randy now losing his fate in them.


Now in Jump City, Ninja was jumping from rooftop to rooftop, as he had an angered look in his eyes, as he leaps to another rooftop and lands on it.

He stops as he walks over to the edge of the roof and just stares down at the street below, deep in through.

Ninja closes his eyes as he sighed deeply, but then, Ninja's eyes opened as he felt something hit him, Ninja looked down and sees on his left arm as there was a tranquillizer dart sticking on his arm, which made Ninja's eyes widen in shock.

He immediately begins to feel dizzy and tired, as he looked around to see who shot the dart, but appearing from the shadows, was Felix, as he was holding tranquillizer gun, while Poison Ivy and Harley was being lifted up by a large vine, on the side of the building they were on, as they jump off and lands on the roof, and looked at Ninja.

While Toad leaps off rooftop to rooftop and lands on the roof they were on, as he perched on the edge, while in the sky, Killer Frost was on creating an ice slide and went downward toward the roof, as she cuts the slide and jumps off the end of the ice slide and lands on the rooftop.

All the teen villains stare at Ninja, as he sees that he was surrounded, and with him, hit with a tranquillizer dart, he knew he couldn't fight them, Ninja turned and tried to run away, but unfortunately Killer Croc was there, standing in-front of Ninja, as he then delivers a powerful inner swing of his left arm, smacking Ninja in the face, knocking him off his feet and falling to the ground.

Ninja was lying on his belly, as he squinted his eyes in pain, as he tried to crawl away, but tranquillizer was starting to take effect as Ninja began to lose consciousness and falls to the ground, lying unconsciousness.

While the Syndicate surrounded the unconscious Ninja, as they stared down at him,


The next day, it was Saturday in the afternoon, and in the SHED, sitting at the couch in the living area, was A-Bomb, Jaime, Kaede (Who was in her normal clothes) and Flash were all sitting on the couch, watching TV,

As Julie, Aquagirl walked in, reaching them as Julie looked worried. "Have you heard from Randy yet?" Julie asked A-Bomb, looking worried,

A-Bomb shook his head, as he looked at Julie, "No, he isn't picking up any of my calls, doesn't help that he wasn't in his room last night."

Kaikaina walks in and leans on the head of the couch, to look at everyone, "Yeah, he was really steamed..." She mentioned, sounding worried.

"Ah! It's okay, he'll bounce back..." The sound of Ava's voice was heard, getting everyone's attention, as they see her, with her book bag, "... He'll eat some pizza and get over it; it's one of the many advantages of being Cunningham." Ava told them, looking deadpan.

"Where are you going?" Kaede asked, as she looked at Ava,

Ava had an irritated look on her face, "I have a tutoring session with Casey," She said, as she didn't want to go. "I'll be back before dinner; I'll call if I see Cunningham anywhere." Ava told them, as she walked to the exit, leaving.

Then Metabee and Cyandog walks in, to look at them, "Alright, we're gonna go and look for Randy." Metabee told them,

Julie looked at Metabee, "Me and Tula will go too." She mentioned,

Kaikaina then leans in to look at Flash, "Wow, everybody is leaving at very ironic timing to look for Randy." She tells him,

Flash then awkwardly smiled, as he rubbed the back of his head with his right hand, "Yeah... Hey, Kai, wanna help them look for Randy, we can all go in my new car, The Slamma." Flash offered, as he looked back at Kaikaina,

Kaikaina immediately got excited at being offer that opportunity to go out with Flash to look for Randy, "Yeah, totally!" She said happy, as Flash gets up and he, Kaikaina, Julie, Metabee, Aquagirl and Cyandog walked towards the exit, leaving the SHED.


Meanwhile, somewhere, lying on the ground in a confided cell was Ninja, as he was laying on his right side.

"Ohhh…" Ninja groaned, as he began to wake up, as he slowly opens his eyes, and lift himself up, sitting up and looked around at where he was.

He was confused as he gets up and walked towards one of the walls and presses his left hand against it, as he turned to look at the other walls, seeing that there wasn't any way out.

Ninja then steps back from the wall, as he held his right fist behind him, as fire burst from it, cover his whole fist in it, as he was going shoot a fireball at the ball, to blast it open, to make an exit for himself.

But before he could fire it, the wall suddenly slides up, opening and reveal a dark room, which quickly get Ninja's attention, he then extinguished the fire on his fist, and lowers his arm, as Ninja now had a suspicious look in his eyes, as he wasn't going to lets his guard down for even a second.

"Don't be so hostile, if I wanted you dead, you'd be dead." The sound of a woman, with a French accent was heard from within the shadow which gets Ninja's attention, as he readies himself for a fight.

"Alright… Show yourself!" Ninja said as he narrowed his eyes, as he stared at the shadows of the missing wall,

And then, emerging from the shadows, was a beautiful Caucasian woman, with light red hair, that had a large bang that covered the left side of her face, covering her left eye, as they were blue, while she had a strange looking device on her collar, as she was wearing some kind of skin tight jumpsuit under it, as it was black with a few red streaks on it, while at her feet, they were mechanic, in the and in a form like high heels.

As the mysterious woman stood before Ninja,

But at seeing the woman, Ninja's serious then changed into love struck look, as his eyes changes into love hearts, as he puts both his hands on his cheeks and presses them.

"WHOA-HA-HA!" Ninja said, completely love struck, as quickly ran towards the woman and takes her right hand, as he stares into her eyes, "Oh, I get it now, if you wanted to meet me in person, all ya had to do was asked…" Ninja said, as his eyes charges back to normal as he had a flirty look in his eyes, as he looked at the woman.

But then, the woman grabbed Ninja by the throat, in her left hand, as his eyes charges to a painful expression in his eyes as he get lifted off the ground, Ninja grabbed on to the woman's wrist, struggling to get free.

While the woman had a deadpan look on her face, as she reaches her right hand down and grabbed Ninja's chest and begins to drag in away, to somewhere.


Meanwhile, back in Jump City,

A big van with a black and white paint job on it was driving down the road, until it turns into the sidewalk and stop, as the left door opens upward, and walking out of the van was Julie, Metabee, Cyandog and Aquagirl, as the four of them stepped out to the sidewalk.

In the van, Flash was in the driver's seat, while Kaikaina was in the passenger's seat, as they two of them were looking at Julie, Metabee, Cyandog and Aquagirl.

"We'll just look in the business district, see if Randy there," Metabee told Flash and Kaikaina, telling them where they were going to look.

"Alright, we'll head out and look around; we'll call if we find something." Flash told them, as he was getting his van ready, as his van was called the Slamma.

"Good luck, Boss!" Cyandog told Flash, as he turned to look at his Medabot and smile at him, before he drives the Slamma off the sidewalk and he and Kaikaina drives off down the road.

Julie and Aquagirl then looked down at Metabee and Cyandog, "OK, me and Tula will head over this way, meet us back here in two hours." Julie told Metabee and Cyandog, as she and Aquagirl turned and walked away.

Leaving the two Medabots standing there, as Metabee turned to look at Cyandog, "Alright, Cy, we should look around here, and remember, we can't get distracted by anything." Metabee told Cyandog,

But Cyandog turned and seeing something behind Metabee, as he then pointed his left index finger at it. "Hey, look! A Droid Spa!" Cyandog pointed, sounding excited,

As then, he and Metabee quickly runs over and stops at the front door of a building with a bright neon lights of a female robot on it,

"WHEEEEEEEEEEE!" Metabee and Cyandog yelled out in glee, as they stood at the front door of the Droid Spa.

Metabee turned to look at Cyandog, as he had an excited look in his eyes, "Aw, yeah!" He said, as he and Cyandog walked towards the doors, as they open automatically as they walked in.


Meanwhile, in an unknown location,

A door slides open, upward, as Ninja was tossed into the room, sliding on the floor, on his belly.

Ninja groaned in pain, as he was slowly pushing himself up,

"Thank you, Mistral." The sound of a familiar voice was heard, which immediately get Ninja's attention, as he lifted his head up and saw, standing before him was Taskmaster, as he was looking down at Ninja.

The beautiful woman, whose name was Mistral, walked over to Taskmaster, as she puts her hands on Taskmaster's chin, pulling toward her where she kisses the right side of his skull mask, passionately as she had her eyes closed, until she removes her lips from Taskmaster's mask as she walks away towards another wall, as it then slides upward, revealing a hallway, as she kept walking, as the wall then slides down behind her, closing.

Ninja got angry as he quickly gets up on his feet and immediately charges towards Taskmaster, holding up his right fist, to punch him, but Taskmaster quickly catches Ninja's fist and kept him still, until Taskmaster pulls on Ninja's arm, pulling him in, where Taskmaster delivers a knee to the stomach, knocking the air out of Ninja.

But then, Taskmaster then grabbed the back of Ninja's head and slams Ninja's face down, hitting it against the floor, hard, Ninja struggled to get free, as Taskmaster was pushing his head down to keep him still,

"Now then, I want to have a talk…" Taskmaster told Ninja, darkly.


Meanwhile, back in Jump City, sitting at a table outside of a coffee shop, was Ava and Casey Jones, as there were math books and papers on the table, while Ava was holding up one opened book.

"OK, show me how you solve for X?" Ava asked Casey, as she lowered the book to look at him,

Casey looked at Ava, as he through about the question hard, "Uhh… You just dig, right? 'Cause 'X' marks the spot," Casey said, completely just taking a wild guess, as he turned to look away from Ava,

But then, Ava goes SD and floats into Casey's view, as she had a deadpan look on her face, as she held up the book. "Have you even readied the book..? Or any math book for that matter?" SD Ava said to Casey,

Casey looked offended at SD Ava, as she floats back to her side of the table goes back to normal. "Hey, I have math books… Sure I don't read them but I hollow them out and hide things in 'em." Casey said in defence,

Ava rolled her eyes in annoyance,

Casey sees how annoyed she looked, and had a bit of a more sympathetic look, "School isn't really my thing." Casey tell her,

Ava then lifted up her book and reads it, having a deadpan look as she rolled her eyes. "Well, that's the most shocking revelation of the century (!)" She said, sarcastically and uncaring, as it didn't take a genius to know that a guy like Casey would say that school wasn't his thing…

Casey then puts a smug smile on his face, "When I graduate, I'm becoming either a pro hockey player or an intergalactic bounty hunter!" Casey told Ava his plans for the future.

But Ava lowered her book as she gives Casey a deadpan glare, "Wow, those are quite the career options (!) Y'know, when I graduate, I'm gonna live on the Sun and become the queen of the space narwhals (!)" Ava told him, sarcastically.

But Casey just shrugged her off, "Who wants a normal life anyway, right?" He mentioned,

"Maybe you haven't noticed, Casey, but life doesn't go the way you want it to." Ava told Casey, being real with him, as she looked annoyed, "Alright, enough talking, let's continue." Ava told Casey, as she wanted to continue the tutoring.


Meanwhile, in the Droid Spa, Metabee and Cyandog were walking towards the front desk, where a female android was, while there was a bunch of different kind of robots, ether standing or sitting on chairs in the waiting area.

Metabee and Cyandog reached the desk and lifted their heads up and looked at the female robot,

"Hello and welcome to Droid Spa," The female robot said to Metabee and Cyandog, greeting them.

"Uh, two appointments for a buffing and polishing, please," Metabee asked the robot, hoping to get a last minute appointment.

The robot then presses a button on the desk, "No need for an appointment, right this way." She said to them, as Metabee and Cyandog turned to see a door with another female robot standing next to it.

Cyandog walks ahead, with Metabee following, but Metabee turned his head and saw, standing at the waiting area, was an extremely attractive looking female android, as she had a curvy body type, as she was bald with metal plating rings around length of the arms, purple eyes, didn't have a mouth or a nose, and had two radio antennas on both sides of her head.

The sight of the attractive looking android made Metabee stop walking, as he looked amazed, Cyandog stopped walking as he turned and noticed that Metabee had stopped walking.

"Metabee, are you OK?" Cyandog asked Metabee, wondering what was wrong.

Metabee then turned to look at Cyandog, "Uh, yeah, Cy, you uh, you go ahead, I'll catch up." Metabee tells him,

Cyandog was confused, "Oh… Uh, OK." He said, as he turned and kept walking towards the doors,

As the robot greets Cyandog, "Please, come inside." She tells Cyandog, as the door opens, Cyandog turned to look at the desk robot,

As she waved at him, "Enjoy yourself." She tells Cyandog,

As Cyandog then walks into through the door, into the other room, as the door closes behind him,

Metabee then walked over to the waiting area and walked towards the wall that the attractive android was leaning her back on, Metabee turned and leans his back on the wall, as he lifted his head up to look up at the android.

Metabee had a bit of a nervous look in his eyes, "So, (Cough) so, uh… (Cough) let me guess, Capricorn, right…" Metabee asked the android, awkwardly and nervously.

Then the android turn her head to look down at Metabee, as she had an amused look in her eyes, "Let me guess, first time talking to a girl robot (?)" She asked, joking,

Metabee chuckled embarrassedly, as he rubbed the back of his head with his right hand. "Uh, ha, is it that obvious!" Metabee joked, as he then turned away from her for a second, as he had a happy look in his eyes, as his faceplate started blushing.

Metabee then turned his head and look up at the android again, "Uh, Metabee." He introduced himself to her.

The android looked at Metabee, with a bit of a seductive look in her eyes, "Dish." She introduced herself to him, saying her name.


Meanwhile, back in the unknown location, walking down a long hallway,

Taskmaster was walking down with Ninja following him, as he had a cold glare in his eyes.

"So what? You sent your Syndicate Purse Poodles to get me here so you can try to get me to roll with you, well, newsflash, Skull-Face, that ain't gonna happen!" Ninja told Taskmaster as they walked,

"I sent the Syndicate to retrieve you to I'm offering you this one chance to join my cause." Taskmaster told Ninja, as he kept walking,

Ninja had a frustrated look in his eyes, "Why… Why do you want me to join you!?" He yelled, as he demanded, as he wanted to know what Taskmaster's obsession with him is.

Taskmaster stopped walking, as he had his back to Ninja, "I sent enforcers to your city and watched, as you beat each one of them, I was testing you. For some time now, I have been searching for an apprentice. Someone to follow in my footsteps, to mold into my image…" Taskmaster said as he then turned around to face Ninja, "… And, Ninja, despite your idiocy, I've chosen you. Congratulations."

Ninja stopped as he looked insulted and angry, "If you actually think that for even a second, I would actually think about being your own, personal intern, you're even more nuts then I thought!" Ninja retorted back at Taskmaster.

"Your comment comes from general hatred towards me, what, may I ask, fuels all this anger and hate in you for me?" Taskmaster asked out of curiosity.

Ninja only got even angrier, "'Cause, when you sent the Fiendish Four to Norrisville High, just to draw me out, one of the students got hurt in the cross fire and is now in a coma, because of you!" Ninja yelled at Taskmaster, telling him that he's the reason that Howard was in a coma.

"The actions of the Fiendish Four were theirs and theirs alone, I only sent them to that school to draw you out, test your abilities." Taskmaster told Ninja, calmly, pointing out that what happened to Howard wasn't his fault.

Ninja narrowed his eyes at Taskmaster, "Yeah well, I'll more the happy to test my abilities on YOU!" Ninja yelled out, as he then leaps up, holding his right leg over his head as he swings it down at Taskmaster.

But Taskmaster quickly side-steps to the left, dodging Ninja's attack, as he then lunges his right hand and grabbed Ninja's throat and pushes Ninja down, slamming him into the floor.

Taskmaster held Ninja on the floor, as he struggled to get free, while Taskmaster looks at Ninja, "You want to try that again (?)"


Meanwhile, in another part of the location, in a large, luxurious room, with an expensive looking couch, a large flat screen TV and a couple of arcade machines, up against the wall.

Sitting on the couch was Poison Ivy, Toad and Harley, while Toad and Harley were out of their costumes and now wearing normal clothes.

As Harley had her blond hair into pig-tails, as she was wearing blue short shorts and a black tank top, while Todd was wearing brown t-shirt with a white shirt over it, he also had a pair of ripped jeans on with untied shoes on each foot, and bands on both wrists.

The three of them were watching TV, while Felix and Killer Croc were pacing around, behind them.

"This is stupid! We've got Ninja here; we should kill him right now!" Croc yelled in frustration, as he was pacing back and forward.

"Hey, Taskmaster made it extremely clear that he wanted us to bring Ninja in, alive." Ivy tells Croc, as she looked over the head of the couch to look at the mutant crocodile.

"Yeah, and you know how angry he gets when someone don't listen to him, just ask Felix." Killer Frost told him, as she was leaning her back against the wall, filing her right nails.

Felix stopped pacing as he turned to look at Frost, who give him a smug smile, as she mocked Felix on how Taskmaster beat him like a dog, the last time he disobey a direct order.

"And when he gives orders to more lower subordinate, he expects them to follow it to a tee." The sound of Mistral's voice entered the room,

Which made the Syndicate all turn and see, standing at the door way, was Mistral and Nico Robin, as the two of them looked at the team of teen villains.

Felix then pointed his right index finger at the two of them, "Hey, I may be Special Forces for Taskmaster, but I'll never be a lower subordinate to anyone!" Felix yelled at them, in an angered tone.

Robin had a straight face, as she crosses her arms, "But you'll only keep all of that hated for Taskmaster, to yourself, so you don't get on his bad side, is that it (?)" She said, coldly, proclaiming the Felix fears Taskmaster.

But then, Harley got angry as she jumps off the couch and ran to Felix, to stand in-front of him, as she glares threateningly at Mistral and Robin. "Leave my Pud'n alone! He doesn't have to take it from you!" Harley yelled, defending her boyfriend.

"Well, considering that we outrank all of you, I feel like we can." Mistral told Harley, with a cold expression on her face.

Ivy then stands up and looks at Mistral and Robin, with a bit of an annoyed look. "Is there a reason you just barged in, on our off-time?" She asked, wanting to know what they want.

"It's time for the second phase of Taskmaster's orders." Robin told them,

"So, we're gonna be headin' out?" Todd asked,

"No, Taskmaster has decided to leave the assignment to us, I can't say I blame him, given your past experiences, it makes sense that Taskmaster would put his trust in his lieutenants and second-in-command." Mistral told them, looking at the Syndicate with an unemotional look on her face.

Each member of the Syndicate glares at Mistral and Robin, as they then turned and walked out of the room.


Now back at Jump City, in the Slamma, as it was driving down the road, Flash was driving, having his eyes locked on the road, while Kaikaina was sitting in the passenger seat next to him, just turning her head from the road and then to Flash.

"So, how's it been, y'know, being a superhero?" Kaikaina asked Flash, sounding a little awkwardly, trying to make small-talk.

Flash then turned to look at Kaikaina for a second as he then turned back to look at the road, as he smiled broadly. "It's awesome! It's everything I thought, but better, is this what you feel like every day?" Flash asked, as he turned to look at her again.

Kaikaina looked at Flash, as she nodded her head, "Yeah, this life is totally hard-core." She said, sounding happy.

Flash then briefly turn to look at Kaikaina, as he looked a little confused, "Hey, don't mind me asking, but why do ya wear that helmet all the time, always hiding your face?" Flash asked, wondering why Kaikaina was always hiding her face under her helmet.

Kaikaina just looked at him, "I don't know… I just… like wearing it…" She mentioned, as she didn't really have an answer to that.

"Well, I just think that you shouldn't just wear that all the time, ya know... I'd... I'd like to see your face..." Flash mentioned, as he smiled awkwardly.

Kaikaina sees that Flash was smiling awkwardly as he was getting a little nervous, she never seen Flash be like this before, walking on egg shell not to say anything stupid.

But then, before Kaikaina could say anything, Flash then stopped the Slamma, as they reached a large traffic jam, but with hundreds of citizens, running passed the stopped cars, all running for their lives, screaming in terror.

Flash and Kaikaina sees all this and both quickly opens their doors and gets out of the Slamma, as they walked ahead, to what the people were running from.

Kaikaina and Flash sees, from a far, a bunch of wreck and smashed up cars, while most of them were sliced to pieces, while there was a heap of smoke, surrounding the area.

But then, emerging from out of the smoke was a cybernetic organism, part man and part machine being, since he is covered entirely in black and red armour, as both his arms were robotic with robot claw-like hands, he was wearing a helmet that covered his whole head, as it had a design that made it look like a red skull with no lower jaw.

The cyborg was walking towards Kaikaina and Flash, as Kaikaina quickly takes out her twin blasters and Flash quickly checked to see if anyone was around, as the Symbiote then actives and covers Flash in his suit, covering his body and head, becoming Agent Venom.

The cyborg then stops as he stares at Kaikaina and Venom, as Kaikaina aimed her twin blasters at the cyborg,

"Who are you, are you the one who did all this?" Agent Venom asked the cyborg, as he readied himself for a fight.

"The name's Whiplash, and yes, I did all of this, just to lure one of you kids out, 'cause my employer wanted me to bring in one of ya." The cyborg told the two teens, as he looked at Kaikana, telling them his name and what he's doing.

Kaikaina and Agent Venom were confused, but not letting their guard down for a second.

"Now we can do this the easy way..." Whiplash said, before he raises his robotic arms up, and then swings them down, which causes two red, electric, steel whips came out of both his wrists. "... Or the fun way..?" Whiplash asked,

As Venom steps forward, clenching his fists, as he glares at Whiplash, "Forget it, Tin-Face! You ain't takin' us without a fight!" Venom told Whiplash, as he raised his fists up.

Kaikaina turned to look at Agent Venom, but she turned back to look at Whiplash, who was swinging his whips on the ground around him.

"Fine, but let it be said that I offered to do this peacefully..." Whiplash told them, as he then charges towards them, to attack.


Meanwhile, back in the unknown location, Taskmaster and Ninja were in an observation room, as they were looking through a glass window, as they were watching over to the other room, as it was an extremely large room, and inside the large room, was a hundreds to thousands of Taskmaster's soldiers, as they were wielding and constructing on an extremely large half of a ring.

Ninja stares at the half, constructed ring, with curiosity, "What are you building..?" Ninja asked, as he slowly turned to look at Taskmaster, with a look of suspicious in his eyes.

"A turning point on how all life observes and speculates the Universe for what it this... This will make Einstein's theory of general relativity sound like a poem written by a five year old…" Taskmaster explained to Ninja, as he had his hands behind his back, as the skull-masked man stared at the constructing of the ring.

Ninja then turned his body to face Taskmaster, "OK... If this is somehow suppose to 'WOW' me, you're totally bombin', dude." Ninja told him, glaring as he didn't looked impressed.

"I wouldn't expect you to understand any of this, but I do expect that you are, but a bit curious of it all." Taskmaster told Ninja,

"I already made it clear, Bone-head; I don't want anything to do with ya! Now when my friends find me-" NInja told Taskmaster, before getting cut off.

"Your friends? I'm fairly certain that you'll be hardly missed by them, given their strained confidence in you, after your betrayal to them and S.H.I.E.L.D," Taskmaster told Ninja, which makes him widen eyed in surprise.

Ninja then narrowed his eyes and scowled at Taskmaster, "How do you know that!?" He wanted to know how Taskmaster knows about his betrayal to his team.

"I have my sources, and I feel that I understand the reason why you turned against them, giving the anger you felt at the time, and you saw what the opportunity offered, you took it, to prove to yourself that you can rise higher than your so called 'friends'." Taskmaster explained to Ninja, darkly, as he begin to walk passed Ninja, as Ninja just stared down at the floor and looked speechless.

"I was stupid back then, I saw what I've done and corrected it!" Ninja told Taskmaster, defending himself, as he redeemed himself by stopping Mandarin and saving his friends.

"But yet your team's trust in you was fractured, I know that they have been isolating themselves from you, yes, at first it seems like you and them were back at good terms, but lately you must have noticed that all of them weren't telling you something, keeping things from you and lying about it." Taskmaster explained to Ninja, as he stopped walking and turned his head to the left, to look over his shoulder and look at Ninja.

"No, but… I mean… I mean yeah, but…" Ninja tried to say a defence but couldn't as Taskmaster was right, A-Bomb, Ava, Julie, Kaikaina and Metabee all made Ninja believe that they were on good terms again, and lying to him about their search for Taskmaster.

"Your trust in everyone this called into question, unsure of whom to true, but I, Ninja, I can offer you a chance to rise above anyone who has be in your position, stand alongside me as we become the harbingers of a new Universal order." Taskmaster explained to Ninja,

Ninja turned to look at Taskmaster, with a conflicted look in his eyes, unsure of what to do…


Meanwhile, back in Jump City, in the middle of a road, Kaikaina and Agent Venom were fighting Whiplash,

As Kaikaina was shooting her blasters at Whiplash, who was charging towards her, as he was swing his whips in-front of himself, which blocks and shielded him from her blaster fire, as he charges, Whiplash then leaps up, and in mid-air, he held both his arms up and then swings then downward, cracking both his whips down at her, Kaikaina quickly jumped to the right and rolls on the ground, dodging the energy whip, as they crack against the ground.

Whiplash lands on the ground, as Venom runs in and tackles Whiplash, as Venom kept running and smashes him against a empty car, Agent Venom then pulled back and starts delivering punches to the face, but after he tosses his right fist, Whiplash catches his fist and then head-butts Venom, knocking him away from him, as the cyborg then swings his left arm outward, tossing his left whip towards Venom, as it reaches him and ties around his right ankle, catching him off-guard as Whiplash then pulls on his whip, pulling Venom off his feet and Whiplash swings Venom around before smashing him against another abandon car.

Kaikaina then presses the right side of her helmet with her right hand. "Anyone out there, got total bad guy trouble over here!" Kaikaina said, calling out to all S.H.I.E.L.D. communication devices, to get help.


Meanwhile, at the coffee shop,

Casey was leaning back on his chair, having his head craned up as he balanced a pencil, horizontally, on his nose, out of boredom.

While Ava had a deadpan look, as her eyes were brown circles, as her nose was gone, as she was resting her head against her right hand, as her elbow was on the table. She was annoyed that it's now been two hours and Casey hasn't bothered to answer one math question.

But then, Ava's watch starts beeping, which quickly gets her attention as her nose and eyes return to normal as she looked at her watch, as it was beeping, telling her that it was a call from Kaikaina for help.

Ava knew she had to get out of her to help Kaikaina, but she needed to leave Casey, Ava then quickly grabbed up all her math books and papers, and stuffs them in her bag, which gets Casey's attention, as he cranes his head back up, as the pencil falls off his nose, as he looked at Ava, who gets up.

"Look, Casey, wither or not you get kicked off the hockey team, doesn't concern me at all, but I am not going to waste my time, trying to help someone, who is completely unwilling to even try and learn. So call me when you actually take this opportunity I'm giving you to the fullest." Ava told Casey, as she was giving him a serious look, as she then turned and walked away, quickly.

Casey looked surprised as he watches Ava walk away,

Ava was walking down the street quickly, as she spies an empty alley, she could use it to hide so she can change into her costume.

Ava walked towards the alley, but before she could enter it, Casey comes running up, pushing his bike as he reaches her,

"Hey, Av, wait up!" Casey said to Ava, which made her stop and turn to look at Casey, as she looked surprised, as the two of them were standing near the alley.

But Ava then immediately puts on a serious face, as she looked at Casey, "No, we had two hours for studying and you completely wasted them, I have my own things I could be doing, Casey, just go home." Ava told him, as she needs to get rid of him so she could change into her costume and go help Kaikaina.

"Is studying all you do? Seriously, you've gotta learn to relax, cut loose a bit and just go with the flow." Casey tells Ava, with a calm smile on his face, just wanting her to loosen up and not be so serious all the time.

Ava looked a bit offended on that remark, "Hey! I can cut loose sometime; you have no idea of the crazy things I get into on a daily basis!" Ava argued, using her life as a superhero as an analogy but not letting him know about it.

Casey had a smug smile on his face, as he looked at Ava, "What, like training to be a science Olympian or one of those quiz show, wiz kids (?)" He joked,

Ava then bobbed her head a bit, as she chuckled while giving Casey a sly smile, as she really just wants to punch Casey in his smug looking face. "You've got a natural talent for ticking off people, has anyone told you that, Jones (?)" Ava joked back,

But then, the sound of a loud growling was heard on the other side of the alley, which gets Ava attention, as her eyes widen, as she and Casey both turned to face the alley and saw something walking towards them, going through the alley.

Walking towards them, was an large monster of living concrete, as he was walking on two feet, with a stone physical body type with piercing, unemotional red eyes, as the large concrete monster's name was Cinderblock.

Ava and Casey looked speechless, as they walked Cinderblock get closer towards them, but then, completely out of nowhere, Casey got in-front of Ava, holding his arms out, too much of her shock to see that Casey was protecting her.

"What do you think you're doing?" Ava asked Casey, looking annoyed, as she tried to push Casey's left arm down.

"Whatever that thing is, it's 15 feet of pure evil and completely cool lookin'! I'll handle this, Sweetheart." Casey told Ava, as he smiled as he plans to fight Cinderblock.

Ava's eyes turns into Fireballs Eyeballs, as she was shocked at hearing what Casey just said, "'Sweetheart'?!" She yelled in outrage at being called that,

Cinderblock raises up both his rock arms and grunted at Casey and Ava, ready for a fight.

Ava's eyes goes back to normal, as she looked at Casey, with a serious look on her face. "Casey, get out of here! It's too dangerous! And plus, I think he doesn't like you!" Ava told Casey, as she tried to get him away from Cinderblock and away from danger.

But Casey kept smiling, "We're even!" The hockey player said, not scared of Cinderblock at all.

But then, Cinderblock charges towards Ava and Casey, smashes some trashcans and dumpsters that were in his way, Ava and Casey both quickly jumped to opposite side, dodging Cinderblock, as he kept running until he runs into a parked van on the other side of the street, smashing into it, Cinderblock pushes himself up, as he turned and saw Casey, as he was rummaging through one of the dumpsters that Cinderblock knocked over, trying to find something.

"Come on, come on! Give me somethin'!" Casey said, as he quickly looked through the garbage, but he found something, which made him smile, "Yes!" He said,

But unfortunately Cinderblock grabbed both sides of the dumpster and lifts it up, which knocks Casey into it and Cinderblock held the dumpster over his head, before tossing it, causing the dumpster to roll around, with Casey inside it getting tossed and turned inside.

The dumpster stops rolling was now on its right side, and then, the top gets pushed up, revealing Casey's left arm, as he was holding an old pipe.

"Yes!" Casey yelled out,

Cinderblock was about to walk to Casey, to finish him off, but then some pieces of garbage flies in and hits Cinderblock in the face, which stops him, as he then covers his face with his arms, shielding it from the pieces of garbage, as Casey was using the pipe to hits some garbage on the ground, using his hockey skills.

After one last piece of trash hit Cinderblock, Casey then charges towards him, holding the metal pipe in his hands, prepared to attack.

"GOONGALA!" Casey yelled out a battle cry, as he reaches Cinderblock and delivers a strike across Cinderblock's navel area.

But the attack didn't hurt Cinderblock at all, and he then turned and swung his left arm, which hits Casey, sending him flying and smacking against a wall, hard, which knocks him out, as he falls backwards and lands on his back, Cinderblock then stared at the grounded Casey, as he then lifted up his right foot and held it over Casey's head, as he was about to stomp Casey's head.

But then, Ava leaps up and lands on Cinderblock's head, as she then starts delivering quickly slashes with her claws, to Cinderblock's eyes, which causes the concrete monster to move backwards, away from Casey, as Casey wakes up and sees Ava, as she kept slashing at Cinderblock's eyes, as he looked amazed.

"Whoa… Bookworm's got moves…" Casey said to himself, impressed as he watches Ava go,

Cinderblock then lifted up his right hand towards his head, to grab Ava, but she quickly sees this and jumps off his head, as she performs a front flip and lands perfectly next to Casey, as he gets back up.

Ava then turned to look at Casey, "You OK?" She asked Casey, wanting to know he was alright.

Casey gave her a confident smile, as he was ready for more, as him and Ava then charges in to attack Cinderblock.

Ava delivers a right slash with her claw, slashing at Cinderblock's torso, while Casey then delivers a blow to his stomach with the metal pipe. Ava then performs a double kick, hitting Cinderblock's face, while Casey hits Cinderblock in the back of his legs with the pipe. Ava and Casey then jumps up and delivers a double kick, hitting Cinderblock's face, Cinderblock loses his balance as he gets on his left knee, Casey then charges in to deliver another blow with the pipe, but as he swings the pipe, Cinderblock manages to quickly grab it with his right hand and takes it away from Casey.

To Casey's shock as he see Cinderblock, getting back up and then puts his hands together, with the pipe between them and crushes it, as his hands depart from each other, all that was left was a crushed up metal pipe, as drops to the ground.

Casey looked totally speechless, "Wow, that's pretty-" But Casey was cut-short as Cinderblock punches him in the stomach, with his right fist, sending him flying.

From behind, Ava leaps up, both claws at the ready to strike at Cinderblock's back, but Cinderblock quickly turns and delivers a powerful left punch, hitting Ava, and sending her spinning upward, before falling to the ground, Ava laid on her front, as she struggled to get back up while Cinderblock was walking towards her, Ava quickly turned and faces Cinderblock, as she quickly puts on a determined face, as she was down but not out.

But then, Ava sees, from a far, too much of her shock, Casey, who was on his bike, pedalling as fast as he could, as he held out his right hand and rides passed Cinderblock and grabs Ava's left arm, pulling her off the ground and pulls her on the back of his bike.

With Ava on, Casey quickly pedals out of the alleyway and on to the road, but Cinderblock was chasing after them, hot on their tail.

"Come, Case, pedal!" Ava told Casey, as she looked at the chasing Cinderblock,

"Hey, you try and pedal with a passenger while being chased!" Casey argued, as he pedalled.

As Casey turns and swerves to the left, passing an oncoming van, just missing it, and quickly did the same thing as he swerving to the right, passing an oncoming truck.

But Cinderblock was smashing and swatting every incoming car that was heading toward him, as he kept chasing Casey and Ava, as he was getting closer and closer, as Ava sees this and tucks her legs in.

Ava looked a bit nervous at seeing Cinderblock, as he held his right hand out, reaching it out to grab her. "For a big, concrete monster, he's pretty fast on his feet!" Ava told Casey, a bit amazed that Cinderblock was fast enough to keep up with a bike.

Casey had a serious then looked over his left shoulder and sees Ava's bag, he then quickly reaches his left hand into it and rummaged through it. "Let's see him out run this!" Casey said, as he pulled out one of Ava's math books and tosses it.

The math book flies towards Cinderblock, hitting him in the right eye, which causes him to roar in pain, causing him to lose his footing and trip, smashing into the road, face-first and rolling a bit, until he stops, Cinderblock then pushes himself up, only to see an speeding, in-coming truck heading towards him, going through an alleyway.

The truck hits Cinderblock, sending him flying across some buildings, before smashing into a building.

Casey and Ava saw Cinderblock down and out and was happy, as they both smiled,

"Yeah-ha!" Ava said, as she smiled,

"Woo-hoo! And you said I don't use math books for anything!" Casey said to Ava, joking, as he smiled, as Casey pedalled away.


Meanwhile, back at Droid Spa, Cyandog walked out of the room, as he was freshly waxed, buffed and polished.

Cyandog turned and waved goodbye to some of the female droids, as he was looking around the spa, only to see that Metabee wasn't here… And also the robot called Dish.


Meanwhile, on the rooftops, on the roof, was A-Bomb, Blue Beetle, Julie, Aquagirl and Kaede, as she was in her ninja gi, as they were looking at each other.

"This was where the distress call came from?" A-Bomb asked, looking confused, as he looked around the rooftop.

Blue Beetle looked around as well, "Well, this is where it coming from?" He mentioned, as he looked at every corner of the roof.

"So, where's Randy?" Kaede asked, looked confused,

"Randy's left the building!" The sound of a familiar voice was heard, which got everyone's attention and they all turned to look at the building roof stairs.

Standing on top of the stairs was a person dressed in a completely black bodysuit that has a red-x placed right over his left pectoral muscle, an ash-gray utility belt with matching gloves that have red Xs on the palms and back of the hands, a pair of black boots with steel-soles and a black cape that has an ash-gray interior. His mask consists of a white skull, which has no lower jaw, on a black full-face mask and a red x starting on his forehead and with a point of the x is ending beneath his right eye. The eyes are white reflective lens.

"And so has the Ninja!" The being told them,

Julie looked shocked as she knew that voice, "R-Randy!" Shocked that Randy was wearing a new costume.

The masked being chuckled, "No, from now on… You can call by my new name… Red X!" He told them, announcing his new name, as Red X held his right fist.

As the unthinkable had happened, Randy finally joined Taskmaster…
