A tired and very thirsty Zack Morgan sat in a local Dairy Queen drinking a large root beer while his new friends waited for him to compose himself. Even though Dan and Amy were impatient to see the object Zack had found they knew that he would need time to recover after confronting a maniac like Eisenhower Holt. Eventually, Zack finished his drink and wiped his brow.

"Okay, could somebody tell me what is going on," Zack insisted.

"We don't know if we should tell you," Amy hesitated wearing a plain white shirt and black skirt.

"Why not?" Zack growled.

"It is very dangerous for an outsider to get involved in our business," Nellie objected.

"Listen, ah…" Zack spoke while waving his hand at Nellie since he had forgotten her name.

"Nellie," the girl with spiky hair answered while twiddling one of the ear buds around her neck which was connected to an Ipod.

"Thanks to those gorillas on the roof, I'm already involved!" Zack complained.

"We know…" Dan stuttered.

"Not only that, but I am now going to have to go home to my pregnant wife and…" Zack went on.

"Raya is pregnant?" a familiar voice behind Zack asked in shock.

Zack turned around and saw his friend Video. He knew that she could easily spoil the surprise for his friends if he didn't head off the situation. What he did not know was that half of his friends already knew.

"Listen, Video…" Zack started to warn.

"What happened to your eye?" Video squeaked.

"I ran into some trouble," Zack responded.

"Well, that's normal for you," Video laughed.

"Tell me about it!" Zack grunted. "Please don't go spreading it around. We haven't told our friends yet and I would hate for them to find out while watching television."

"Okay," Video agreed. "Are these some new friends of yours?"

"Video, this is Dan, Amy and Nellie," Zack introduced.

"Hello," the three youngsters called out together.

"Congratulations!" Video beamed while kissing Zack on the cheek.

"Thanks," Zack answered while watching Video wander towards her own table on the other side of the restaurant.

"What kind of name is Video?" Dan wondered.

"Dan!" Amy chided.

"It's just a nickname," Zack explained. "As I was saying, I am now going to have to go home to my pregnant wife and explain this black eye. I would like to have something more to tell her than we were fighting over a glass vial."

"I think we should tell him," Dan suggested.

"It's not a good idea!" Amy protested.

"Do you really think a man who can knock out Eisenhower Holt is going to take no for an answer?" Dan pressed.

"I guess not," Amy sighed.

"Before I begin, I would really like to know how you did it," Dan pleaded.

"I would too!" Nellie agreed.

"Did you see the movie Rocky?" Zack began.

"I saw it on television last week," Dan stated.

"Then you probably remember the scene where he's in the meat locker punching the side of beef," Zack guessed.

"That must have been what it was like for you," Amy reasoned.

"Nothing I did worked until I realized that even a brute like that would need oxygen to fight," Zack mused. "That is when I jumped on his back and rode the bull for the standard eight seconds."

"Woooow!" Dan whistled.

"Now do you care to tell me what is going on?" Zack asked impatiently.

"See, we are involved in this scavenger hunt," Dan began.

"I got a black eye because of a scavenger hunt!" Zack spat.

"It's a lot more serious than that!" Amy protested.

"Our family is split into several branches," Dan continued. "Each branch is trying to find a master serum. If the wrong people get it then the entire world will be in big trouble."

"How do I get mixed up in such things?" Zack mumbled with his arms folded.

"Did you find anything on the roof?" Amy wanted to know.

Zack took the vial out of his pocket and the people at the table passed it around.

"This must be the Tomas serum," Nellie guessed.

"I wish it told us where to go next," Amy complained.

"Let me see that!" Zack insisted because he saw something on the bottom of the vial.

"It says 'Go to the City Of Lights'" Zack read after taking the vial from Nellie.

"That sounds familiar," Dan mused.

"Any Jem fan knows that means Paris," Zack explained.

"Maybe you'd better let us keep that," Dan suggested.

"Since I'm going to be a father, I've got too much on my plate for…" Zack started to say.

"EVERYBODY RUN!" Amy screeched causing Zack's friends to quickly head for the door before he could hand over the vial.

Zack looked to his left and saw two large goons approaching him. If only he had looked behind him, he would have seen that the real danger was coming from a woman with brown hair who was watching Zack with an evil grin on her face. He definitely did not want to tangle with anymore goons today so he looked around for a distraction. He looked at Dan's tray filled with wrappers and a coke that was half empty. Zack threw the whole thing in the face of the goons and ran down a separate aisle. He got out just in time to see Nellie and company speeding away in their car.

A sickening feeling appeared in Zack's stomach when he realized the bad guys weren't following him. He risked a look back into the restaurant to see the goons leaving through the other exit. Even though he thought that was very strange he got into his car so he could face the music. When he was about halfway home, his thoughts started to race.

That was too easy.

Why didn't they follow me?

My Spidey sense is tingling.

Oh, oh!

I think I figured it out.

Zack pulled off the road and crawled under his car for a good look. It didn't take long for the hero to find the solution to his mystery. He found a small blinking device that had the letter L on it. Zack crawled out from under his car and threw the device onto the ground.

"You lose, whoever you are!" Zack laughed into the night while stomping the bug with his foot.

A voice that was much too far away for Zack to hear screamed in frustration.
