I am so sorry for the lack of updates everyone! I had the absolute worst writer's block for this story ever! Not to mention most of the villains are probably OOC. Sorry if they are.

Anyway, this chapter has some reference to Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius, Spider-Man and the movie X-Men 3 The Last Stand, so keep an eye open for them.

(I do not own anyone in this story except for one character, and I'll tell you which one at the end of the chapter.)

The guard wheeled in the cart carrying dinner for the prisoners. His next stop was Robotnik's cell.

Using the special key card and code, the guard opened the door and pushed the cart in.

"All right Robotnik, dinner time." He called.

"Thank you," Robotnik replied, as he sat on his cot reading a magazine. "Would you mind bringing it here? I'm afraid I'm feeling a little under the weather."

The guard simply shrugged his shoulders and decided "why not?" After all, Robotnik had been a model citizen so far. And it wasn't like he'd set a trap or anything.

The guard wheeled the cart into the cell and moved closer to the prisoner.

With an evil grin, Robotnik pressed a button on a specially made remote, causing the floor beneath the guard to become electrically charged.

The guard didn't even have time to shout for help before the shock rendered him unconscious, and Robotnik knelt down beside him.

"You'd be amazed at what you can do with a few wires from some ordinary electronic appliances." He chuckled, as he took something from the guard's pocket.

He casually walked out of his cell and stepped up to Vlad's cell door.

"Good news Vlad," He called through the door. "I'm out."

"Good!" Vlad replied. "Did you get one of the key cards?"

"No, without the code they're useless. So I took the guard's cell phone instead."

"Cell phone! What do you intend to do with that, order pizza!"

"Perhaps later. As for now, I'm going to call in some help." Robotnik held the phone in his hand and dialed in a number.

He held the phone up to his ear and soon heard a recording of his own voice. "You've reached the evil lair of Doctor Ivo Robotnik. I am not here right now, so if you wish to leave a message, press 1. If this is me in need of assistance, press 2 and dial in password."

"What is going on out there?" Vlad demanded, pounding on his cell door. Suddenly, the wall nearby was blasted away and Vlad turned to see Robotnik standing in his mech.

"I've designed all my machines with special modems so that they can be accessed by phone," The doctor explained. "Just in case I need to call up some assistance."

"Very clever." Vlad admitted, climbing onto the mech. He heard the alarms and knew that guards were on their way. "Now let's get out of here!"

The mech's legs lifted up close to its body as rockets lifted it of the floor. Robotnik aimed for another wall and fired a hole in it, creating a door to the outside world.

"Hang on!" He said, as he piloted the mech over the prison yard and into the nearby city of Retrovile.

Robotnik landed in an empty alley and Vlad hopped down to the ground.

"Excellent work." Vlad congratulated his new partner. "Now, to find a suitable place to get my plan started."

"Indeed," Robotnik agreed as he heard sirens nearby. "But we'll need to get the law off our backs." He looked at an old apartment building nearby. "What say we give them something else to occupy their time?"

Robotnik armed his lasers and fired at the base of the building, causing it to burst into flames.

Meanwhile, leaping from rooftop to rooftop, Hiei began closing in on the two villains when he noticed the burning building, from which people were quickly escaping. He had come to Retrovile suspecting something would soon happen, but was shocked to discover Vlad had teamed up with Eggman himself. The Phantom and that foolish Hedgehog are in for a surprise. He thought quickly as the firemen and paramedics arrived at the burning building. It will serve them right, wishing for more excitement.

He spotted Vlad and Robotnik beating a hasty retreat down the alley and was about to follow when he heard a scream. He turned quickly and heard a women crying to the firemen that her daughter was still trapped in the building.

Hiei turned again to see Vlad and Robotnik getting away, but turned back to the building.

I don't have time for this! He shouted mentally. Those two fools are escaping! Surely those humans can take care of things? But then, since when have humans done anything right? He looked back at the fleeing villains once more, but growled when he found himself jumping to the roof of the burning building. "Damn it!" He growled. "I must be out of my mind!"

He used his sword to cut a hole in the roof and jumped in. The flames were enormous, but since when did a little fire bother him?

He quickly searched through the rooms, but soon found the girl hiding in a small room, cowering in fear of the flames.

Hiei approached her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "It's alright," He said, in a surprisingly gentle tone. "I've come to get you out of here." He lifted the girl up and she gratefully held onto his neck.

Holding the girl with one hand, Hiei ran out the door and searched for a way out that wasn't engulfed in flames. Fire may not hurt him, but it would hurt the girl.

He decided the best way out would be the way he came in and made his way up the stairs, only to find the entire top floor engulfed in flames.

Holding the terrified girl close, Hiei searched frantically for another exit, but was shocked when the stairs beneath him gave way, causing him to fall.

Hiei was about to use his demon speed to save himself when he realized that he had no idea if the girl would be affected by it.

Hiei had no clue what to do next, but heard something crash through the roof and fly through the flames.

The being grabbed Hiei and halted his fall.

Looking up, he saw none other than Jake in dragon form.

"We've gotta stop meeting like this." Jake joked.

"Enough with the jokes Dragon." Hiei grumbled. "How do we get this girl out of here without burning her to a crisp?"

"Don't worry, help's on the way."

"Well I hope it gets here soon." Hiei continued, as he noticed the gas pipes nearby. "If not, we're all in for a barbeque."

The next thing Hiei knew, a hole was blasted through the wall, putting out the nearby flames to create an effective exit.

Clover looked inside as her jetpack held her up. "Come on, this way!"

Jake flew through the opening and he and Clover got as far away as they could just before an explosion tore through the building.

Jake put Hiei back on the ground and a woman rushed to them.

Recognizing the woman, he handed her daughter gently to her.

The woman took the child and thanked Hiei as she hugged her daughter closely.

"You know," Said Jake. "I'm used to being thanked when I save someone."

"I'm not used to being saved." Hiei replied flatly.

After about an hour, the fire was out, and the paramedics were busy dealing with some burns and cases of smoke-inhalation.

"Shouldn't they check you?" Clover asked concernedly, as she, Jake and Hiei watched the commotion.

"No," Hiei replied. "I'm not human, remember? I'm as impervious to fire as Jake is."

"Oh. Good."

"What were you two doing here, anyway?"

"Your communicator signaled us." Jake replied.

"It what?"

"Yeah, Tails and Tucker designed a special feature on them to alert us to any trouble one of us might be in." Clover answered. "Pretty clever, huh?"

"Where's the Phantom?"

"He and the others are taking care of some trouble in Amity Park."

"I see. Well we need to get to them right away. I have some pretty bad news for our fearless leader and our speedy blue mascot."

Later, the League reassembled on Specter Star and were now watching the news.

"This is Chet Ubetcha," Said the miniature reporter. "Reporting live from Retrovile, where newly revealed criminal mastermind, Vlad Masters, and evil genius, Ivo Robotnik, have escaped maximum security and disappeared. In a related story, disaster struck at a local apartment building which was set on fire by the escaped criminals. All tenants escaped with only minor injuries, but tragedy nearly struck when a 4 year old girl became trapped inside. Fortunately, she was rescued by three members of the Hero League, Dragon Boy, Tech Girl, and the Ninja. Back to you Janet."

"Thanks Chet." The female reporter replied. "In other news, repairs to the Brooklyn Bridge continue after the mutant attack last month prompted by a so-called 'cure'. Sources say-"

"Wait a minute!" Sonic shouted, barely able to control his laughter. "'Dragon boy'? 'Tech Girl'? 'Ninja'? Dude, where'd they come up with those names?" Sonic fell over and laughed his head off, much to Jake and Clover's displeasure.

"I know how you guys feel." Said Danny. "I'm still stuck with 'Inviso-bill.'"

"Who comes up with these stupid names!" Clover demanded.

"Could be that guy at the Daily Bugle in New York," Jake suggested. "He's always thinking up names like that. What was his name…? It started with a J, I think…"

"Can we focus on the matter at hand?" Hiei demanded. "Vlad and Robotnik are still at large!"

"Hiei's right." Said Danny. "Vlad may not have his powers anymore, but teamed up with Robotnik, he may prove to be dangerous."

"Puh-lease." Sonic scoffed. "Eggman's no big deal. I'll round him and Vlad up in no time!"

"I don't know Sonic." Sora chimed in. "Bad guys are always worse when they work together."

"Yeah, but come on," June added. "It's only two of them. And heroes are always better when they work together too, right?"

"Well yeah, that's true."

"Whatever we do," Danny said, turning to face the team. "I say we do it as soon as possible. We can't forget that while these guys are, well fruit-loops, they're still dangerous." The others nodded in reply. "Alright then. Let's go and find our villains!"

The league made their way to the hangar where the Specter I was parked.

"I still say two bad guys is no big deal…" Sonic said to himself.

The next night, a shadowy figure lurked into an abandoned warehouse located in Amity Park.

He stepped inside and saw nothing but darkness.

"Huh," Said the red-haired teenager. "Wonder what I'm supposed to do now."

"Who are you?" The teenager turned to see a blue-haired woman with black clothes and goth makeup standing behind him.

"Name's Jack," He replied. "Jack Spicer. And what's your name good-looking?"

"Name's Ember." She answered. "Just Ember. Now what are you doing here?"

"I came here cause I heard there was a job. What about you?"

"Same thing."

"Oh, so maybe we'll be working together?"

"Ugh, I hope not." Ember heard someone walk up behind her and turned to see a large ogre. "And who… or what are you."

"Me Og." The ogre replied dumbly.

"Oh great," Ember grumbled. "Looks like I may be working with a bunch of geniuses here."

"Hey, for your information, I am a genius!" Jack said defensively. "Check this out! Jack-bots!" Several robots appeared and surrounded Ember and Og.

Suddenly though, the robots short-circuited and fell to the ground.

"Wh-what gives!" Jack demanded.

"Some genius." Jack, Ember, and Og turned to see a blue skinned man walk up holding a strange device. "You didn't even build your robots with a defense against electro-magnetic waves."

"Who you?" Og asked.

"The name's Draken. I take it you're all here about a job?"

"Yeah," Ember replied, walking up to Draken. "But I'm thinking there's too many of us going for the same job. Maybe it's time to eliminate some competition?"

A dark haired woman in a green and black outfit jumped between Draken and Ember. "Just try it." The woman said threateningly, holding up her hands which glowed with green energy.

"Allow me to introduce my side-kick, Shego." Draken said smugly, as the two girls stared each-other down.

"Enough!" A voice called.

The group of villains turned to see Vlad standing next to Robotnik.

"Vlad Masters." Said Draken. "The plot thins."

"So you called us here?" Ember asked.

"Indeed," Vlad replied. "I have a proposition to make. How would you all like an opportunity to destroy the Hero League once and for all?" The various villains turned to each other and laughed. "I'm serious. I have a plan to eliminate those fools once and for all. It involves all of you."

"Us?" Jack Spicer asked.

"Indeed. You have all been summoned here because you are the best at what you do. You are the greatest villains in the world, and while you have each failed alone, together we can be victorious."

"yeah, nice speech," Shego scoffed. "But the whole 'villains teaming up' thing has been done to death, don't you think?"

"My dear, I am no fool. I have planned the destruction of the Hero League down to the last detail, and it is foolproof." The villains still seemed hesitant. "Of course, I will be paying handsomely for your services…" At the mention of being paid, even Draken seemed a little more open to the idea. "Then its settled?"

"I don't know about the others," Said Ember. "But you make it worth my while and you've got a deal." The others agreed.

"Excellent." Vlad rubbed his hands together in typical bad-guy fashion and smiled. "Just wait Daniel… soon I will have my vengeance…"

---

Okay, like I said, most of the villains may have been OOC, namely Draken, Shego, and Jack Spicer. That is only because I haven't seen many episodes of Kim Possible or Xiaolin Showdown.

Oh, and Og the Ogre is my original character. I couldn't think of any villains of Jake or June's that I wanted to use, so I just made up a magical creature to fight them.

Review please!
