4:37 A.M. – Somewhere in Beverly Hills
One Eugene Snit was busy at work with his latest disguise technology, keeping an eye on the various data screens around him to make sure that everything would come to fruition.
This time, he was going to make it personal.
After making his escape from the containment facility, he'd heard through the villain grapevine that two of the couples in Jerry's team had gotten engaged since the last time he'd faced off with them.
Given that he'd nearly married those two girls long ago, along with many other women from Beverly Hills, he figured it was his sacred duty as a supervillain to screw up their love life once again.
Given, he didn't truly have a personal vendetta against either of those two (that was saved for Clover, after all), but the less spies to deal with, the better, in his eyes.
After double-checking his recent disguise tech and seeing a completion message on the data screen, Snit smiled wickedly.
Just let those wretches try and stop him now.

Totally Spies: The New Adventures
Episode 58: He's Full of Snit
Story Rated: T for Teen
Story Created: May 14th, 2022
Story Summary: The eightieth co-op project between Mat49324 and The Blue Time Ranger, and episode fifty-eight of our mission-based series Totally Spies: The New Adventures. One Eugene Snit is back in town, and he's heard through the grapevine that both Sam and Alex have gotten engaged to the loves of their lives. With that in mind, he's off on another scheme to use his disguises to try and ruin the spies' image, but naturally, they're not having any of that. And so begins another throwdown between the spies and man of (literally) many faces. But what dirty tricks does Snit have up his sleeves this go-round?
Author's Note from Mat49324: It's been a helluva week for me, folks. We're now up to project #58 for The New Adventures, #80 overall, and I just completed my final semester of college. That's right – I got out of college finally after well over 10 years, but it's worth it now. You can check my profile for my degree. In the meantime, we got through a good project with the Jellyfish Pirates returning and an annoying space enemy in Lady Luna coming back as well. Today, we've got another love-hating villain returning for another bout with the spies; I'm gonna leave it at that. For now, here's The Blue Time Ranger for anything he'd like to say.
Author's Note from The Blue Time Ranger: It's like these villains come crawling out of the woodwork now that Sam and Mat are engaged, huh? Yup, our good ol' disguise boy is back for another crack at ruining the spies' image. Let's see just how well that works for him, huh? All right-y then, ROLL IT!

Act 1: Under Cover of Darkness
1:47 P.M. – Malibu University
The Spies' Penthouse
It was another usual afternoon at the spies' penthouse. Mat was enjoying lunch, and the final round of the 2008 Motocross series at Steel City Raceway in Delmont, PA on TV. Nick was sitting with him; Sam was on her way.
Calling the race were the usual team of Ralph Sheheen, multi-time Motocross champ Jeff Emig, and pit reporter Erin Bates. Earlier in the broadcast, defending champ Grant Langston took his #1 Yamaha 450 out for a parade lap to at least show the #1 plate once, and announce his plans for the future.
The 450cc broadcast was coming to a close, and Kawasaki's James Stewart #7 was not far away from becoming the second man in Motocross history to accomplish a perfect Motocross season.
"I cannot believe Stewart's luck this season," Mat told Nick.
"I hear ya, bro," Nick replied. "Once is incredible, twice is impossible..."
"Unless you're Ricky Carmichael and did it three times," Mat chastised. "Twice with a perfect 600..."
Nick remembered Mat mentioning Carmichael accomplished back-to-back perfect seasons.
"24-0 back-to-back?" Nick wondered.
"No, Ricky went 12-0 in overalls, but 22-2 in motos in 2005," Mat answered. "Chad Reed beat him at Southwick moto 1, Kevin Windham at Unadilla moto 1. Some people don't count 2005 as a perfect season for RC, but I do."
"Close enough, in my eyes," Nick quipped.
"And I seriously think Stewart would not be looking at a perfect season if Alessi didn't crash out at Red Bud," Mat added.
"How can you tell?" Nick wondered.
"I could see it on his face in his interviews," Mat replied. "I wouldn't like it if someone just whooped ass moto after moto after moto and evade all kinds of bad luck."
"You still think Stewart's gonna throw his life away?" Nick wondered, remembering Mat's secret prediction.
Mat nodded. "Villopoto's moving up, Ryan Dungey will soon... and with Stewart likely going Supercross-only in 2009 with San Manuel Yamaha, that's the beginning of the end – Stewart's 23 after all."
Simultaneously, Nozomi came into the den wondering what was going on. Mat simply pointed at the TV as the white flag came out for that #7 Kawasaki and Jeff Emig was running through Stewart's career in a nutshell.
Jeff: Stewart came in – as we go into the final lap – as the fastest amateur we'd ever seen. He was just so amazing with the actual speed that he had... just destroyed all the Lites records, won championships in Supercross and Motocross, then he ran into Ricky Carmichael here in the Motocross class, but Ricky's gone. Stewart has matured and there's no reason that he can't continue on this pace for a number of years and shatter all the other records.
"Not far from a perfect season," Nick told Nozomi.
"Gotta keep reaching," Nozomi quipped.
The final lap continued with Stewart leading the way.
"You think Villopoto will make a big splash so to speak?" Nick asked Mat.
"I think he's got a learning curve like all rookies do," Mat deduced. "Supercross champ... no, I don't think so – unless you're damn lucky..."
Ralph: Well, in 2007, he claimed the Supercross championship; in 2008, the Motocross title, he's gonna win the Monster Energy Triple Crown of Motocross, AND NOW THERE IT IS! HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE HERE AT STEEL CITY! A PERFECT 24 MOTOS AND 24 WINS! The legend continues to grow... James Stewart has done it!
"I could see it coming," Mat chuckled as he got set for the Motocross Lites broadcast that was soon to follow. "But you're not the G.O.A.T. if you can't win all 12 races 3 times like Ricky did..."
Nick nodded in agreement, knowing that was easier said than done.
The final points standings saw a Kawasaki 1-2 finish with Stewart at 600 pts., and teammate #15 Tim Ferry at 414; Honda's Andrew Short #29 rounded out the top 3 with 392.
"What's going on?" Melissa wondered as she, Dawn, and Britney came back with lunches of their own.
"Well, James Stewart just swept the 450cc class," Mat answered.
"Perfect season for him," Nick added. "Which Mat predicted, by the way..."
"You're pretty good, Mat," Melissa commented.
"It's all about instincts, after all," Mat quipped.
"So, where's everyone else?" Nick wondered as the Motocross Lites broadcast was getting under way.
"Sam, Clover, and Alex are having a pool day," Britney answered.
"Blaine's at beach volleyball practice, too," Melissa added.
"And I think Bridget, Haruka, and May are checking to see if they made the water polo team for the spring," Dawn concluded.
"I would think so," Nick remarked.
"And according to Sam, she's been at the pool for almost an hour," Britney added, specifically looking at Mat.
"I told her I'd come by later," Mat replied. "I haven't had a chance to see Steel City yet."
At that moment, during the first Lites moto, Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Ryan Villopoto, in his final AMA Motocross Lites event, got a bad start and was working on Suzuki rookie Nico Izzi #341 for 3rd place. Villopoto had gotten by Izzi for 3rd, only for Izzi to come back and pass Villopoto back, but Villopoto was later nowhere to be found.
"Uh oh," Mat remarked.
Ralph: He lost a ton of momentum in that, Jeff. I mean, that just ruined his entire flow!
"Where'd he go?" Dawn wondered.
After a replay of Izzi's pass was shown, the answer was given – Villopoto was in the pits with Pro Circuit personnel working on his bike.
"Oh no..." Mat chastised.
Ralph: Not only did it ruin his flow, it might've ruined his RACE!
Jeff: Oh, it's the shifter! It bent the shifter. When Izzi and Villopoto got together, we've seen how they got hooked together, Izzi's foot peg – which those foot pegs have some serious spikes on it to hold the riders on – I'm gonna take a guess and say it hooked on the shifter and pulled it out...
"Ouch," Melissa and Dawn quipped.
"I concur," Britney replied.
Villopoto later returned to the race, but he was way far back.
Jeff: Luckily the championship's in the bag at this point, or that would've been devastating to the points chase.
"I was just gonna say," Nick sighed.
"Looks like overall win #9 for Villopoto's out of the question now," Mat groaned.
Not long after that, Villopoto later pulled out of the first moto, which assured that 9th win of the 2008 season was totally out of the question.
"That's not how you want to end your Lites career," Mat commented.
"I'd agree there," Melissa replied.
"It's always the little things that screw with you, huh?" Nozomi quipped.
"Yup, the things you don't think are a big deal until they drill you in the face," Nick stated.
Meanwhile...
Sam popped up out of the pool in her green swimsuit.
"I think I found it, Alex," Sam quipped.
As it turned out, Alex's engagement ring had slipped off in the water, but Sam managed to recover it; thankfully, it was nowhere near the pool grate or pump or anything.
"Thank goodness," Alex sighed in relief.
She then went back inside to put her engagement ring away; Sam didn't have hers on.
"Lesson learned there," Clover commented.
Sam nodded at that, only to find herself drenched by a small wave courtesy of Alex as she jumped back into the pool.
"Too easy!" Alex laughed, only to be splashed in return by both Sam and Clover.
"Reap what ya sow, Alex!" Clover proclaimed as another glorious water battle erupted.
Back inside, the second Lites moto already started, but Mat was immediately disappointed that Villopoto crashed on the opening lap trying to avoid rookie Blake Wharton on the #721 GEICO Powersports Honda.
Suzuki's Ryan Dungey, who won the first moto, replicated his performance with a 1-1 sweep to win his 3rd overall in the last 4 races. As for Villopoto, he finished the second moto in 16th. The final points tally still had Villopoto as the champion by 72 points over Dungey 540-468.
"Well, let's hope that the others made the water polo team," Melissa commented now that the race and the 2008 Motocross season was over.
3:01 P.M. – Malibu University
May, Bridget, and Haruka were together and checking out to see if they made the Mali-U water polo team.
"You think we made it?" May wondered.
"I know we all put a good showing in," Haruka quipped. "I just hope the luck will be on our side."
"Same," Bridget remarked.
May took a step towards the nearby list of names, searching for three in particular, until...
"Hey, look, there we are!" May exclaimed, finding herself, Bridget and Haruka on the list. "We did it!"
"Well, after the spectacular performance you pulled off during tryouts, I figured you, at least, were a shoo-in, May," Bridget replied.
"Come on, let's go tell the others," Haruka quipped as the three of them dashed back to the penthouse to tell the other spies...
...only to be stopped when a nearby storage room opened its doors all on its own and extended a large metal tube towards the three of them.
"Why the storage room, of all things, Jerry?!" May shouted as the tube sucked the three of them into it, sliding down the tube until they eventually crash-landed inside of Jerry's office, where the entire rest of the spy team was already waiting for them.
"I did have that idea in 'storage'," Jerry chuckled.
"It was maybe my idea?" RiCO giggled as she waved her hands to change the image on the office viewscreen to a mugshot of one Eugene Snit. "But back to business, we actually called you here to let you know that this sleazy-looking guy is on the loose."
"And if I know Snit, which I'd like to think I do, he's probably attempting to use his trumped-up disguises to mess with us or the students in some form or fashion," Clover proclaimed.
"He hasn't attacked anywhere just yet, from what we've been able to gather," RiCO stated. "So, Jerry and I figured we'd at least let you guys know ahead of time so you can prepare for whatever mister phony smile is up to."
"Thanks for the heads-up, then," Sam replied. "Does Snit really think he's going to get away with the same plot again?"
"Sadly, our rogues' gallery is usually pretty damn stubborn," Nozomi quipped. "That's just a fact of life."
"Just let mister disguise boy try something," Bridget proclaimed. "I'll smack him so fast he literally won't see it coming!"
"That's the spirit, Bridget," Nick laughed as RiCO sent the spies back to Mali-U.
3:47 P.M. – Malibu University
Nick and May's Dormitory
While May was off in the cafeteria grabbing something for the two of them to munch on during their next Super Smash Bros. session (it was almost time for the tournament, after all), Nick was preparing everything they'd need for their practice rounds.
Occasionally, his thoughts would drift to Snit and whatever he had planned for his latest scheme.
I seriously wonder when he's going to get it through his head that I can see right through his disguises thanks to being a telepath, Nick thought. I guess some baddies never learn.
"Lo and behold, I have returned victorious!" May proclaimed as she pushed her way into the dorm room, carrying a bag of cookies in her hands. "Ms. Appleseed literally just finished baking this batch when I got to the café, so it's about as fresh as you can get!"
"Let me guess, double chocolate chip?" Nick chuckled.
"You know me so well, Nick," May giggled as she sat down by Nick so they could get this practice round on the road. "So, who are you going as for this tournament?"
"Oh, you better believe I'm going with my boy Sonic," Nick responded. "How 'bout you?"
Before May could respond to that, the door of their dorm room suddenly flew open, revealing a slightly out-of-breath boy a year younger than them.
"Uh, can we help you?" May asked.
"Hey, your name's May, right?" the boy asked.
"Um, yeah," May replied. "Any particular reason you're asking?"
"Someone told me that your boyfriend's already in a relationship with another girl," the boy proclaimed. "Are you supposed to be his mistress or something?"
Naturally, May was absolutely flabbergasted to hear that.
"Excuse me, what did you just call me?!" May shot back. "Just what in the absolute hell are you implying?!"
"Let me handle this, May," Nick responded as he walked up to the boy. "You look like you're new around here, am I right?"
"Yeah, I'm a freshman here at Mali-U," the boy answered. "This one guy said something to me about that, and..."
"Then allow me to clear up any possible misunderstandings right here and now," Nick replied. "May is my girlfriend, too, but I'm not cheating on my fiancée or anything like that. In fact, Alex is actually completely supportive of May and I. The reasons why are kind of a complicated story, but..."
"Wait, wait, who exactly told you the whole 'mistress' thing?" May asked, though she most likely already knew who it actually was.
"This older guy who I met in the West Coast Hall," the boy answered. "He just waltzed up and told me that story."
"Let that be a reminder to not automatically believe everything you hear through the grapevine," Nick stated. "And now, if you'll excuse us, May and I have a lie-spreader to mess up."
Leaving the confused boy to his own devices, Nick and May both headed out towards West Coast Hall.
"I'm pretty sure we both know who's behind that little debacle, right?" Nick stated.
"Pretty much," May replied as she leaned over to kiss Nick on the cheek. "And now I'm going to give him some extra lumps for spreading those kinda lies about my boyfriend."
"Damn right, May," Nick responded.
Soon enough, Nick and May reached West Coast Hall, and Nick began sweeping the area with his psychic radar to detect the thoughts of their target. It didn't take long at all, Nick's gaze landing on a slightly older boy wearing very punk rock-esque clothes.
"So, that's really the story I heard," the punk boy proclaimed to the four other students that were around listening to him. "I hear things around here, after all, so..."
The punk boy's story-telling was interrupted when Nick marched over and grabbed the boy by the ear to drag him off.
"Excuse us for a second while we deal with this little liar," Nick stated.
After a few seconds, Nick eventually reached an empty hallway and tossed the punk boy away.
"Seriously, Snit, just drop the disguise for once in your life," Nick proclaimed. "You should know by now that you can't fool a telepath."
"And I've got a bone to pick with you myself for that bullcrap yarn you were spinning about me being a mistress," May growled, as she summoned her anchor to her hands.
The punk boy simply grinned before touching a device on his belt to make the disguise fade away and reveal Eugene Snit in all his 'glory'.
"My disguises may not work on you, boy, but they're clearly working on other people here," Snit proclaimed. "When I'm done with you, you may as well say goodbye to that feeble marriage of yours."
"Wait, is that what this is all about?" May quipped. "You're another baddie who's jealous of the fact that Sam and Alex got engaged?! I thought your beef was with Clover!"
"That, too, but I figure it'll do me better if I ruin all of your images at the same time," Snit cackled. "Less work for me."
Snit reactivated his disguise belt and transformed into a thirty-something man with slightly spiky black hair with gray streaks held back by a gold ribbon, wearing a red haori coat and wielding a rather beefy katana.
"Oh, don't you dare disrespect one of the best characters in that game!" May shouted, as Snit had transformed into Auron from Final Fantasy X.
"What's the matter? Are you intimidated by my gigantic weapon?" Snit laughed as he swung the katana downwards, only to be knocked backwards courtesy of a Final Shine Attack from Nick.
"The answer is no," Nick taunted, opening his X-Powder to contact the other spies while May went to town on Snit with her anchor.
"Get back here, you son of a bitch!" May shouted.
"Guys, we have a situation here at West Coast Hall," Nick told the others through his X-Powder. "We found the 'Snit show', so to speak..."
"We'll be there shortly," Sam proclaimed.
Nick closed his X-Powder and dashed to catch up with May, who was already giving Eugene Snit everything he could handle, hurling her anchor every which way at Snit.
"Calling me Nick's 'mistress' is more than crossing the line, pal!" May growled.
"You see what you did?" Nick taunted.
Finally, May managed to hit Eugene Snit directly with her anchor to send him flat on his back.
Simultaneously, the rest of the spies showed up to see what had happened.
"He crossed a line and then some saying 'mistress' about me," May told them.
"It won't matter," Snit sneered as he got to his feet slowly.
"Are you ready for another beatdown after the last time?!" Britney remarked, certainly remembering her encounter with Snit.
"That's gonna have to wait," Snit sneered as he transformed into a ninja and threw down a smoke bomb to make himself disappear.
"Retreated again..." Mat groaned.
"We gotta do something about that somehow," Melissa stated.
"Care to tell us what happened?" Clover asked Nick and May.
"Basically, Nick and I were getting ready for a round of Smash Bros., since the tournament's next week," May explained. "Then, this boy comes into our dorm saying he'd heard someone tell him that I was apparently Nick's 'mistress'. I mean, what the hell do I look like?!"
"Thankfully, I was able to set that boy straight with everything, and that's what tipped May and I off that Snit was somewhere on campus, so we made our way to West Coast Hall to fish him out, and well, you know the rest," Nick continued.
"Well, let's hope that's the last of him for a while," Dawn replied.
"But anyway, anybody up for a late lunch?" Alex wondered.
Nobody objected and headed to the Mali-U Café.
"By the way," Mat told Sam. "Sorry if I took too long coming out for the pool time."
"No big deal," Sam remarked. "We did find Alex's engagement ring in the pool though."
"I heard," Nick chuckled. "You were pretty lucky, Alex."
"That could have been stressful," Blaine remarked.
"Yep, lesson learned," Alex laughed.
"Anyway, what about you three?" Nozomi wondered, centering on Bridget, May, and Haruka.
"Oh, the water polo team?" Haruka wondered.
"We all made it," Bridget immediately stated.
"It may be coming off the bench, though," May replied. "I'm not sure we're all under scholarship or anything..."
"Yeah, I think that's how college athletics works," Mat deduced.
"And you better not tease me with the swimsuit, Haruka," Nick warned. "Assuming I ever get assigned to one game..."
"Oh..." Bridget gasped with a giggle. "She's not in a two-piece, Nick..."
"Oh, we'll just have to see on that one, won't we, Nick?" Haruka giggled.
"We'd have to wait until the spring for water polo games though," Mat pointed out.
Before Sam could make a comment about the matter, something else seemed to be going on.
Thankfully, it didn't seem to be Snit causing chaos (for the moment, at least), rather a small crowd of students gathering around the nearby bulletin board.
"Ooh, I think I know what that's all about," May proclaimed as she and Nick moved closer to confirm. Sure enough, the bulletin board in question was showing signup information for the upcoming Super Smash Bros. tournament that Nick and May had been practicing so much for. "Come on, Nick, you know what must be done."
"Indeed I do," Nick chuckled as the two of them moved to check out the signup forms.
"Didn't May say that Mandy's going to the tournament as well?" Clover quipped.
"From what they've told us, Mandy's actually pretty good at Smash Bros.," Sam replied. "Who knew she had it in her, huh?"
"One of many reasons that I'm glad Mandy dropped all of that old high school animosity she used to have for us," Britney replied.
"Yeah, it's almost like she's a totally different person now," Melissa stated.
4:26 P.M. – Malibu University
Nick and May's Dormitory
Thankfully, the cookies May had bought earlier were still fresh and warm as she and Nick got back into their practice session, allowing the two of them to happily munch away as they prepared themselves for the upcoming tournament.
"Seriously, Ms. Appleseed needs to start her own cookie franchise," May laughed. "These things are delicious!"
"I saw that smile on your face when Ms. Appleseed said she'd be catering for the tournament," Nick chuckled.
"Talk about cookie heaven," May sighed wistfully. "I don't think I've ever had cookies that delicious in my life."
Once their current match ended (by way of Nick's Sonic meteor spiking May's Pit to his doom on Skyworld), May looked over at Nick and smiled brightly.
"Hey, Nick, about earlier?" May quipped. "Thanks so much for not lying to that boy about our relationship. I know it probably would have been a lot easier to just make up some silly story to someone who doesn't know the particulars of the whole thing, but..."
To May's surprise, Nick leaned over and hugged her tightly.
"Now why would I lie about our relationship, you goof?" Nick replied. "I know it may seem weird to other people, especially when they don't know the circumstances of the whole shebang, but when it comes down to it, I'm proud to have you as my girlfriend, too, and I don't give a crap who knows about it. They can speculate about it all they want, but in the end, I love you, May, and that's an absolute fact. I'll say the same thing about both Alex and Nozomi, too, so you don't have to worry about a thing."
May's smile only got brighter as she moved closer to kiss Nick in response. "You are just too sweet, you know that?" May giggled.
"It's just my duty as a good boyfriend," Nick answered.
After a few more matches, Nick and May put their practice session on hold and headed out to the track field to watch Bridget go through her own practice.
"Seriously, look at her go," May quipped. "That girl can really run."
"She's been naturally fast for most of her life," Nick answered. "Her mom once said that she's been going fast since she could walk."
Just then, something very strange happened.
Someone ran out from the crowd outside the field, onto the field, and towards Bridget as she passed by...
...only to leap forward, grab Bridget by her legs, actually yank her running shoes off of her feet, and then just casually toss her aside.
"H-Hey, man, what the hell?!" Bridget shouted once she picked herself up. "Those shoes weren't cheap, you know!"
"And how, exactly, can you prove you weren't using these shoes to cheat?!" the random guy shot back.
"Um, excuse me?" Bridget quipped. "They're just running shoes! Did your brain melt in a way that somehow made you think I'd actually have the stones to cheat?!"
"Well, then, why don't we look inside these shoes and see what you put in there?" the boy proclaimed, reaching down to rip the shoes apart.
Before he could, however, Nick came charging in with a flying kick that sent the boy stumbling backwards. May caught Bridget's running shoes so she could hand them back to her before confronting the boy.
"Nice try, Snit, but you're not pulling that wool coat over our heads," Nick quipped as the boy dropped his disguise to reveal Snit, as expected. "Bridget paid a lot of money for those shoes, and you're not going to wreck them just because you've got a scheme up your sleeves."
"I'd advise you interlopers stop getting in my way," Snit proclaimed. "Otherwise, I'm gonna have to teach you a lesson."
"Oh, yeah?! You and what army, pal?!" Bridget taunted.
Snit re-activated his disguise belt, transforming into a man of tall and stocky build, wearing traditional silver-colored knight's armor, a pair of shorts and a helmet with a white feather, armored shoes and gloves, and a broadsword strapped to his back.
"I am the only army I'll need," Snit laughed as he moved to wield his broadsword.
"Yeah, well, don't think turning into Steiner is going to help your case, Rusty!" May shouted as she summoned her anchor to do battle with Snit.
"Everyone, Snit ambushed us on the track and field court!" Bridget exclaimed into her X-Powder.
"Fear not, Bridget, the cavalry is on the way!" Melissa proclaimed.
"Coming, Bridget!" Mat added from his Nintendo DS.
"Stand still and take your lumps already!" May shouted as she swung her anchor at Snit multiple times. Snit swung his broadsword as quickly as he could to counter, but May eventually overwhelmed him and sent him sprawling onto his armored keester with an overhead swing.
It only took a while for the rest of the spies to get to the track and field court.
"What the HELL is he dressed as?!" Clover chastised at the costume.
"Apparently it's Steiner or Rusty," Dawn immediately answered.
"To clarify, Steiner is his actual name, and 'Rusty' is the nickname Zidane likes to call Steiner in the game," Nick explained. "Can you tell he's still got a lot of Final Fantasy characters to taunt us with?"
"Wacky much?" Alex chastised.
"Totally," Sam quipped.
"While you're all chatting it up, I can still slice you to pieces!" Snit laughed as she picked himself back up, waving his broadsword in a strange pattern before leaping forward and slamming it down in an overhead strike.
Nick retaliated by leaping to the side of the strike and blasting Snit in the back with a Final Shine Attack.
"Maybe keep your eye on the birdie?" Nick taunted.
"We're gonna have to continue this later," Snit sneered.
"Oh, no you don't!" Bridget proclaimed. "Sonic Mode, online!"
She went dashing through Snit like she was charging through a wall. Snit went flipping briefly and landed with a thud.
"Calling me a 'cheater' is crossing the line, Snit!" Bridget growled. "I DON'T CHEAT! If you haven't heard of hard work, you need to get out from living under a rock for eons!"
"And you look like a real fool when all you have is your word and no physical proof, too!" Haruka added.
"Smack talk is the Rosetta Stone of POS's, pal!" Clover proclaimed coming after Snit, too.
"Why else when one of your other spies doesn't take a liking to athletes of color?" Snit sneered, taking a pot-shot at Mat.
"I never once said I despised Michael Jordan, buddy boy," Mat replied. "And unlike you, I don't go the racist route."
"I'm with Mat on that," Nick stated, sticking up for Mat. "You got a lot of balls to call Mat biased that way! He's never said ONE THING on racism as far as I'm concerned..."
"Nothing but the truth," Mat proclaimed. "You can state your dislike for an athlete, but that's not enough to call someone a racist..."
"There are other reasons you're allowed to not like someone, Snit," Sam proclaimed. "You're just using that as an excuse!"
"You got some set of balls on you," Melissa added, coming after Snit.
"Totally!" May proclaimed. "As Mat said... you can voice your dislike for someone, but that's hardly enough to use the term 'racist' on someone, especially when they know their stuff."
Dawn whipped out a Cyclone Blast Hairdryer to blast Snit backwards while Bridget continued to wail on him in Sonic Mode, eventually knocking Snit back towards Nick so he could grab him in his psychic hold and send him flying down the nearby hallway.
"Sorry, meddlers, but we'll have to have a 'round three' later..." Snit remarked and used another smoke bomb to get away.
"Damn him, he got away again!" Clover chastised.
"We really gotta do something about that," Sam sighed.
"Eventually, we'll solve that problem," Haruka quipped.
"So, Bridget, what exactly happened?" Dawn wondered.
"I was just putting in my work for track when Snit tries to deliberately trip me up," Bridget explained in a nutshell. "Next thing I know, he's calling me a cheater of all things!"
"I dread to think what he's gonna do next," Blaine commented.
"Totally," Alex remarked.
"He calls me Nick's mistress, he calls Mat a racist, and now he calls Bridget a cheater..." May chastised.
"And he's 0 for 3 in that department," Sam snarled, knowing Snit was trying to ruin Mat's image at least.
"Now what?" Haruka wondered.
"Wait, do you think that's why he's hanging around Mali-U this time?" Dawn responded. "Is he trying to ruin our images by spreading completely untrue rumors?"
"Didn't he literally do something similar the last time we faced him?" Nozomi quipped. "Snit's kinda turning into those one-trick pony kind of villains."
"At least he's getting more creative with his disguises, I'll admit," Britney stated. "Regardless, I think we'd better keep on the lookout for mister disguise boy. I'm still pissed off at him for what he did to me."
"Oh, trust me, Brit, he's going to get another set of lumps for that in due time," Alex responded. "Let's go find him and give him those lumps, shall we?"
As the spies continued their trip through Mali-U to find Snit and take him down before his toxic gossip could spread any further, they had no idea that they were being observed from far off by Snit's partner in crime.
"Yes, my dear boy, keep them busy for me," the culprit chuckled, flexing his robotic arm and hoping that boy wouldn't cut it off this time. "Once our secret weapon is ready, they won't know what hit them."
Macker grinned evilly as he flew away on his floating platform, waiting for his chance to show his hand.

On the next episode...
Britney: There can't be that many places a nutball like Snit can hide.
Mat: Yeah, especially around here.
Nick: He'll show up eventually. After all, he knows he can't hide from me.
Alex: Found him, Nick?
Nick: Sure as heck did. Let's head 'em off at the pass.
Snit: You won't be mocking me for long. Once we're finished with our plan, you won't have any legs to stand on.
Sam: Hold on, what did you mean by 'we'?
Macker: That, my dearest Sam, would be me. Any opportunity to put you damned meddlers in your place is welcomed, especially when it involves such a creative mind like Snit here.
May: Yeah, well, two villains for us to fight just means we get to dish out double the ass-kickings, so prepare to eat anchor, you punks, next time on Totally Spies: He's Full of Snit, "The Sudden Tag Team"!
Melissa: It's nice that mister script guy's backing off on the end-of-episode puns, huh?
Bridget: Let's not push our luck, 'kay?
