Meanwhile, outside of HQ; Lexi, Duck, Tech, Slam and Rev were all looking for a different place to live in. They had a very difficult time in finding an apartment. Let alone, a comfortable place to settle in. Lexi picked up her feet, tiredly as she complained. "I'm tired, already; when are we going to find a place to settle in?" "Apparently, Acmetropolis is a huge city and it has been difficult to find a new place." Tech looked at her and was admitting that he was tired. "tgweyfwu," Slam grunted in agreement. "Yeah you said it buddy; we've been walking for over a century here, plus I'm hungry." Duck complained, while he was practically; dragging his feet on the hard, dusty ground; as he watched other citizens passing by. "Look," Tech stopped in his tracks and that made everyone else stop. "We are all hungry and we are all tired. But, this is what we've decided to do." "No, really?" Duck commented sarcastically, "this is all your fault anyway; if you didn't make us walk out of our own place and had kicked Ace out instead, we wouldn't be in this mess." They all looked at him as if he were just over exaggerating just a little bit. "Oh, please, Duck. Don't try to look so perfect. It's obvious that you were the one who dragged us out here in the first place," Lexi budded in and put her hands on her hips. Pretty soon, everyone began to argue again and it wasn't long until, they all forgot about why they left HQ in the first place. But, not only were they all arguing together; but, each person had something to say to one another. "tdgshywe," Slam yelled at Lexi; "you can never get right to the point," she yelled at Tech. "I'm not a nerd, you are just not at my level," Tech transferred his anger to Duck. Finally, Duck yelled at Rev. "You are a disgrace!" They all continued arguing, but something unexpected happened thing happened. A huge sound of lightning scared all of them and it wasn't even raining.
Back at HQ
Ace was sitting on the couch, watching t.v and munching on a carrot.
He was watching a funny movie and he didn't even notice about the whole headquarters being empty. In fact, he was too busy doing things on his own, that he forgot about Lexi and the others. Little did Ace know though, that pretty soon; the sound of a chain saw had hit his ears pretty hard and he turned around, to see what it could be. "Ya, mule. Member me, rabbit? Ye haw, I'm back and I'm here tu take yooou down!" The mysterious figure said. He was short, had a long, red beard and red hair. He looked like a cowboy, with a hat and was shooting from his two guns. "No one messes with Oci… hici…uh… whatever ma name is, ya mule," he jumped around from side to side. But, he was not alone; there stood Mastermind, Weathervane and Massive. Ace was out numbered; though, he didn't care. He jumped up from the couch and showed these evil villains that he was ready. "I am Massive; this is a robbery, so hit the floor, rabbit." Massive warned and shot out his gravity powers. But, Ace jumped out of the way on time. "I don't think so, doc; I'm afraid you are outta luck, cuz I ain't gonna give this place up." He told them, "oh really. Well, I hate to inform you this, but; you're outnumbered. Seeing as your teammates aren't here to here to help you; we can destroy you." Massive was coming closer, towards Ace. But, Ace wasn't afraid, in fact; he wasn't afraid of any of them. Team or not; he was still able to fight and his team did turn their backs on him and betray him. The least Ace could do was to prove that he could do anything without them. "So, let's go!" Was all he said.
