As a matter of fact, the Impossibles had just finished explaining what had been going on.
"We were just waiting for a good chance to come back," Multi said. "We wouldn't have been able to defeat Frankenstein Jr. then and there."
"We had to get out of his sight so we could plan our strategy," Coiley said.
"Yeah, man," Fluey said. "You saw what he did to the Impossi-Mobile. I mean, we can't help Civic City if we're reduced to smears on the pavement!"
"Well, we'd better head back to Civic City," Shawn said. "Mike was working on a remote control to get Frankie back on our side."
At that exact moment, Phyllis's purse began to beep. She opened it, and took out her compact.
"Must be Big D," she said, flipping her compact open. "Who else would call me on this number?"
It turned out to be Reggie, using the Conroys' computer.
"We've got a problem," he said.
"I'm afraid to ask," Phyllis replied. "What is it?"
"Mike and Maxwell got into a duel with their remotes, and Frank blew a fuse. He's left Civic City, and who knows where he is now!"
"Oh great," Shawn groaned.
"We'd better go find him," Buzz said. "The only way to stop Frankie now is to reset his main activators."
"There's no time to lose gang," Multi said.
"Right," Coiley said.
Buzz and Phyllis hopped on the Hover Cycle and were off. Suddenly, the ground began to shake, and there was a loud booming sound following the shaking.
"There's a familiar sound," Shawn said.
"This can only mean one thing," Multi said. "It's Frankenstein Jr!"
Indeed it was Frankenstein Jr, smashing up the town wherever he walked.
"Uh oh," Coiley said. "There he is now."
"And he's destroying the place," Fluey said.
"It's now or never, fellas," Multi said. "We've got to stop him, or Civic City, Megatropolis, and the world is doomed!"
"You're right," Fluey said. "Let's hit it!"
"Wait, what about me?" Shawn asked. "I want to help to, you know!"
"I think you ought to stay here where it's safe, Shawn," Coiley said. "You stay with her, Multi, unless we need you for backup. Fluey, you come on."
"Right," Multi and Fluey said in unison.
"Rally ho!" Coiley shouted, springing into action.
"Rally ho-ho!" Fluey shouted, turning himself from solid to liquid, and practically flew towards Frankenstein Jr.
Frankenstein Jr continued to walk along, smashing the city as he went. Coiley and Fluey zoomed right in front of him, as if to block him off.
"Hold it, Frankie!" Coiley shouted. "It's about time you were deactivated!"
Frankie growled, and prepared to smash both Impossibles with his bare hands.
"Heads up, Coiley!" Fluey shouted, and converted to liquid before Frankie could do anything. Coiley sprang out of the way just in time.
"This is going to be harder than I thought!" he shouted.
"I'll try to sneak up on him and deactivate him," Fluey said. "Then we'll take him back to the lab so Buzz can reprogram him. Rally ho-ho!"
Fluey shot through the air and aimed for Frankie's neck, where his central control units were. Unfortunately, Frankie sensed someone behind him. He activated a shield, and raised it.
"Uh oh," Coiley said. "Fluey's heading right for that shield."
"And he's moving too fast to stop!" Shawn shouted.
Plus, he was only half-converted. Fluey was definitely moving too fast to stop. He didn't even see the shield, and flew smack into it. BONK!
"Ooohhh, that had to hurt," Shawn cringed.
Completely dazed, Fluey began plummeting towards the ground. He ended up hitting the pavement. WHACK! Shawn, Multi, and Coiley cringed. Coiley dashed over to see if his teammate was all right.
"Shaky seismographs!" he shouted. "Frankie's knocked Fluey out cold!"
"And it looks like you're next, Coiley!" Multi shouted.
Coiley jumped out of the way before Frankie could pound him into the pavement. He was out of sight by that time.
"Hey, where'd he go?" Shawn asked.
"I don't know," Multi said. "But I get the feeling we're going to be in trouble if we don't move it!"
Too late. Frankie growled, reached down, and grabbed both Multi and Shawn in his hand, a la King Kong.
"Rally hey!" Multi shouted.
"I think we're in trouble!" Shawn shouted.
"No kidding!"
Frankie then began doubling back towards Civic City with Multi and Shawn in his hand. Luckily, Coiley had been hiding on the other side of the nearby Hotel Gotham.
"I'd better find Buzz and Phyllis!" he shouted, and bounced off. Fortunately for him, they were nearby.
"We've got to get back to Civic City fast!" he shouted. "It's an emergency!"
"Why? What's wrong?" Phyllis asked.
"Frankie just grabbed Multi and Shawn," Coiley explained. "He's heading straight for Civic City!"
"Then we'd better move fast," Phyllis said.
"There's no time to lose," Buzz said.
Coiley jumped onto the Hover Cycle, and Phyllis slammed on the gas. The group nearly broke the sound barrier as they speeded towards Civic City.
"Incidentally, Coiley," Phyllis said. "What happened to Fluey?"
"Holy KO's!" Coiley shouted. "I almost forgot about him! Frankie knocked him out and he was still out when I left!"
"We'd better go back," Phyllis said, ready to put the Hover Cycle in reverse.
"No, there's no time!" Coiley shouted.
"He's right," Buzz said. "If we go back now, Civic City's liable to be demolished!"
"Besides, Fluey's resourceful," Coiley went on. "He'll know what to do when he wakes up."
"Whoa!" Phyllis shouted, suddenly slamming on the brakes. "Robot at twelve o' clock high! And I do mean high!"
Frankie growled, and raised his foot, ready to smash the car.
"Scatter!" Phyllis yelled. She jumped off the cycle. Buzz turned on his anti-gravity belt and flew into the air. Coiley bounced out, just as Frankie put his foot down. SMASH!
"Wowee! That was close!" Buzz shouted.
"Too close," Professor Conroy said, as he, Mike, and Reggie ran over to the scene.
"What in the world is goin' on, anyway?" Mike asked.
"It's a long story," Coiley said. "We'll have to tell you about it later. Right now, we've gotta stop Frankie!"
"Yeah, no kidding," Reggie said, looking up at Frankie through a pair of binoculars. "He's got Multi and Shawn."
"What?!" Mike shouted, grabbing the binoculars. "Let me see!"
Mike looked, and clicked his tongue against his teeth. Then he gave the binoculars back to Reggie.
"You're right," Mike said. "And I get the feelin' I know what he's gonna do next."
Reggie was about to ask Mike about that when suddenly, people began to scream. Our heroes turned to look and saw Frankie climbing up the side of the building.
"Menacing monkeyshines!" Buzz shouted. "Frankie's climbing the Umpire State Building!"
"Oh yeah," Mike said. "I knew that was gonna happen. I've seen King Kong a million times."
There wasn't any time to fool around, though. Coiley sprang into the air, in order to get to Frankie and turn him off.
"Hang on, guys!" he called to Multi and Shawn. "I'll get you out of this!"
"In one piece, I hope!" Shawn shouted. "Multi, can't you just duplicate yourself to get us out of this?"
"Frankie's grip is too tight," Multi said. "I don't think I'd be able to get us out of this."
Coiley began bouncing around Frankie. The giant robot started to swat at the Impossible, trying to discourage him.
"Don't distract him, Coiley!" Multi shouted. "Push the button!"
"I'm trying, Multi!" Coiley shouted. "But Frankie isn't making this easy!"
He was so right. Frankie finally stopped swatting at Coiley, and activated his instant setting glue gun. He fired glue out, hitting Coiley with it. The force sent the superhero flying to the next building. CRASH!
"If we get out of this alive," Mike said. "You oughta consider enterin' that robot into the Olympics, Professor!"
"I'll look into it," Professor Conroy replied.
"Well, now what do we do?" Phyllis asked.
"I'll try to deactivate Frankie with my radar ring!" Buzz shouted.
"Be careful, Buzz," Professor Conroy said.
"Don't worry, Dad. I'll be all right."
Buzz activated his anti-gravity belt, and took to the air. He flew up to Frankie, and aimed his radar ring at Frankie's central control unit.
"It's a tricky shot," he said. "But it has to work!"
Buzz aimed his ring, and a beam fired from it. Unfortunately, Frankie moved at the last second.
"Darn it, I missed!" Buzz shouted.
"Buzz watch out!" Shawn shouted.
"Frankenstein at two o' clock!" Multi warned.
The warning came too late. Frankie reached over and swatted Buzz like a fly, which deactivated his anti-gravity belt. The boy scientist went flying. Luckily, Mike caught him before he could hit the ground.
"This is getting ridiculous!" Reggie shouted.
"I've got one more idea," Mike said. "But I'll need a jet pack."
"Here," Professor Conroy said, handing Mike a backpack. "But what exactly are you going to do?"
"Fly up there and push the button, that's what!" Mike shouted, strapping on the jet pack.
"Be careful, Mike!" Phyllis shouted.
"A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do," Mike said, and then he took off.
Frankenstein Jr was standing on the roof of the Umpire State Building. Multi and Shawn couldn't do much except wait. Finally, Mike rode up, and headed directly for Frankie's OFF button. But Frankie saw him, and made a grab for him.
"Yipes!" Mike shouted, dodging Frankie's free hand.
"Someone better get us out of here fast," Shawn said. "I think I'm getting airsick."
"Mike can't get to Frankie's deactivators," Multi said. "What do we do now?"
"I really hate to say this," Shawn said. "But I just don't know."
"Where's Fluey when we need him?" Multi sighed.
Just then, Frankie hit Mike, and he flew backwards into a building. WHACK!
"So much for that," Mike said, slightly dazed.
"Civic City's doomed," Buzz said.
"Rally ho-ho!" a familiar voice called out. "It's not over 'til the fat lady sings!"
"Fluid Man!" the group shouted.
Fluey, having come to his sense some time ago, figured Frankenstein Jr had doubled back to Civic City. He converted to liquid and shot forward at Frankie, punching the large robot in the nose. As a result, Frankie let go of Multi and Shawn. Both of them started to fall, but Multi duplicated himself, caught Shawn in midair, and retracted the duplicates downward.
"That was close," Shawn said.
"Thanks, Fluey!" Multi said.
"No sweat, Multi," Fluey said. "Now to get Coiley out of a sticky situation."
Fluey flew over to Coiley and washed the glue off him. Then the two Impossibles went to join the others. Frankie jumped off the Umpire State Building, which caused the ground to really shake. Everyone was knocked off their feet.
"Buzz, do you have a water pistol around?" Fluey asked. "I just got an idea!"
"I don't know what good a water pistol's gonna do," Mike said, "What's this idea?"
"You'll see," Fluey said.
Buzz held up the pistol, and Fluey converted into liquid again, and flew into the water gun. Buzz then activated his anti-gravity belt and flew upward, far enough away from Frankenstein Jr.
"All set, Fluid Man?" he asked.
"Fire when ready!" Fluey shouted.
Buzz pulled the trigger on the water gun, and PSSSHT! Fluey shot forward, and pressed Frankie's deactivator button. The robot stopped in his tracks. Buzz then flew over and used his radar ring to reactivate Frankie. That seemed to do the trick.
"What happened, Buzz?" Frankie asked.
"You were reprogrammed," Buzz replied. "And sent to destroy Civic City."
"Lucky for you, Buzz called us," Fluey said. "Or else this city would have been history!"
"Wow," Frankie said. "I guess I don't know my own strength. But what happened to the crook?"
"He's been taken care of," Phyllis said. "He'll be in jail for quite some time now."
Everybody laughed. After cleaning up the city a little, digging out the Impossi-Mobile, and putting it back together, the singing Impossibles headed for the arena they were supposed to be playing and gave their concert. Buzz and Frankie stood on a nearby hill and rocked out to the music.
"Those Impossibles really rock!" Buzz shouted. "Right, Frankie?"
"Yeah, man, Buzz!" Frankie shouted, as he danced around. "Groovy! Outta site!"
The End
