They all then used a drill to tunnel underground instead of using the Loonatics jet due to obvious reasons.

"This drill of yours is sure to beat traffic." Ace commented to Tech.

"Haha, yes!" Tech cheered. He continued the drill, occasionally he made them go side to side like in an amusement park ride.

"Quick doing that!" Duck snapped at him.

"Don't worry, I've been working on my motum maddum for a while." Tech smiled innocently.

The drill kept shaking them as they traveled with Tech's trust and safety in the machined vehicle.

"Whoa..." Akito, Estelle, Vincent, and Felicity looked out the windows and saw an enormous underground city.

"Amazing." Estelle said.

"Kinda awesome, even if it's home for a bad guy." Akito added.

Vincent shrugged, he wasn't sure how to feel.

"I hope we do not get hurt..." Felicity spoke.

"Hang on!" Tech told them as he still had to drill them through yet another wall and tunnel.

"Going down!" Akito told them.

"So that's where the buildings went..." Ace hummed after they left the underground city.

"Yeah." Akito agreed.

Duck looked worried as they went even further down. "How many miles can this thing top?"

"Not to worry," Tech replied. "This thing's built with ulti-double shift, nothing can stop it."

However, just as he said that, the drill stopped.

"What was that then!?" Felicity panicked.

"That's a whole lot of nothing." Akito said.

"I don't understand..." Tech looked to his calculations. "It should only smash into any kind of rock..."

Lexi looked nervous. "A-And what if the rock smashed back?"

Tech looked to her, but gasped in horror as he saw rocks coming together and becoming a rock monster.

"T-Tech, get us out of here!" Estelle said out of nervousness.

"Someone's short circuited the engine!" Tech cried then.

"Uh, Tech, think you can work us out of this hole?" Ace got very nervous.

"Yeah, we need back-up now!" Duck added as the rock monsters were crowding the drill.

"Please back up, please back up, please, please, please, please!" Vincent begged Tech.

Tech tried to, but had no possibility. "Well, I thought I could..."

The rock monsters broke through and grabbed Lexi and Estelle.

"Hey, let us go!" Estelle exclaimed.

The monsters growled, taking them.

Felicity's eyes seemed to flash green. "You let go of them right now!"

A rock monster grabbed her as well, taking her out of the drill.

"Letting me go right now!" Felicity's voice seemed to echo and she broke out of the hand, using unholy strength she never knew she had.

"Amazing." Duck said in surprise.

"Whoa..." the others were shocked.

The Loonatics decided to leave the drill and take on the rock monsters.

Duck even gave them a fire egg that exploded on one of the monsters that took it from him. "Wow, I amaze even myself..." he smirked, rather smugly. "I gotta remember how to do that."

"Oh, brother." Vincent groaned.

Tech was trying to power up the drill engine so they could continue their mission as the others were facing the rock monsters. He had finally found a way, but the cord and plug were too short to reach the outlet. Even though it was painful, it was the only way to save the drill, so he used his ears, getting zapped in the process which had fried him, but luckily, it did not kill him. It was enough to start the drill back up and crush the rock monsters on its way through the tunnel.

"Yeah!" Tech cheered. "Rock on!" The coyote stopped the drill once they were all shattered.

"So, what were those things?" Lexi wondered once they could relax now.

"Reminds me of some of the guys who keep calling you," Duck deadpanned to her. "It's like rocks have more personality."

Lexi gasped at that and zapped him with lasers to get back at him for his lame joke.

"Ow!" Duck rubbed his backside, glaring at her. "Watch the feathers!"

"Why should she?" Estelle asked.

Duck harrumphed and folded his arms.

"I figure those are rock guards..." Akito tried to think about the monsters they just faced.

"Which may mean we're close to Dare's lab." Ace added in conclusion.

'You're not close, you're here..' an ominous voice told them, which made the Loonatics and the kids ready for action and fighting. 'You're just in time to see how the Jade Serpent Crystal can turn all of Acmetropolis upside down!' the voice mocked as it made changes into the room they were all in.

"Tech, what's going on?" Ace and Akito asked through their communicators.

"I told you he was a crackpot!" Tech replied as he watched from inside the drill. "Let's get going!"

Part of the ground glowed green and there came their enemy for the day. "I hope you enjoyed your little visit..." the man mocked them. "Because now, it's become your permanent residence! In fact, soon all of Acmetropolis will reside underground and I will live in peace on the surface!"

"Uh, are ya kiddin' me, Doc?" Ace scoffed at him. "That's the most ridiculous idea I ever heard!"

"You won't be laughing when you age in stone, Bunny!" Dr. Dare retorted. He then took out a scepter to drain them all, but for some reason, Felicity didn't seem as affected by it as they were.

The area was shaking and rocks were coming down after them.

"Take cover!" Akito told the others.

"Way ahead of ya!" Estelle said.

The Loonatics rushed to the drill to avoid the falling rocks before it could kill or hurt any of them.

"Sayonara, Loonatics!" Dr. Dare laughed as he went higher and higher on his throne of evil.

The rocks fell and crowded the drill, making it as though they were left in the pile with no escape or way out.

"Looks like we'll have to get these rocks off the drill." Akito said before rolling up his sleeves.

Slam joined Akito and they removed the boulders to get them out. Felicity was even able to lift some of the rocks, but not all of them.

"Nice work there, guys," Ace told the Tasmanian devil and the two human kids. "But, Felicity, how were ya able to do that?"

Felicity wanted to answer, but even she seemed stumped. "I do not know..."

"Looks like someone has a super power or new ability." Estelle said.

"I have never thought about it..." Felicity shrugged.

"Anyway, we have to get back to Acmetropolis before-" Ace was about to say.

"There is no more Acmetropolis," Zadavia cut in through the screen. "Dr. Dare has continued to turn the world inside out," she then showed them screens of the town going underground all according to Dare's plan. "You must hurry, if you don't, this madman will bury us all!"

"Then it's time we go up." Akito said.

Tech powered up the drill and got them through the tunnels to continue on.

Felicity was very curious about her new abilities. "I am going to have a word with Maman and Papa about this..."

"That will be great to ask when we get back." Vincent said.
