The Loonatics were trying to take down the monster now, working together like they always did.
"I am going to show how I can be much better than Rev!" Rip glared.
While the Loonatics were out, Rip was out of the tower. Simon crawled to the door and widened one of his eyes to pass the security scan.
'Access Granted!' a computer voice said and opened the door. 'Welcome, Simon Forte!'
Simon crawled in and led Rip to the device in its sealed container.
"Maybe with this baby, Ma and Pa will notice me." Rip smiled, he knew it seemed evil, but anything to get his parents' love and attention, in an almost instant, he was taken over by the device and screamed in slight pain.
Simon smiled rather evilly. His screams of pain were short-lived for Rip as the device took over completely. Simon flinched from the bright light and looked a little concerned of the huge transformation.
"Oh, he'll notice me all right!" Rip laughed evilly, he then picked up Simon and had turned into a villain.
Simon now looked scared at Rip, thinking that maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
The Loonatics locked up the monster and came back to the Tower. Oliver and Georgette comforted Jenny as she was lying down on the couch now.
"Thanks, guys, but I'm fine." Jenny smiled to them, even if she felt exhausted now.
"Tell me about it!" Felicity panted.
"Let's hope that nothing else happens." Estelle hoped.
Felicity noticed something missing. "Has anyone seen Simon?"
The other kids looked around in concern, not knowing where Simon had went.
"He's with the Runners," Akito told them since he was there. "He's been spending a lot of time with Rip lately. I wonder how business is going with the Robo Amigo."
"I'm sure that business is booming." Vincent assured him.
However, there were scared screams heard from children. The others looked in concern of who purchased on a Robo Amigo and were being attacked by their new toys!
"What the heck are those Robo Amigos doing?!" Akito asked out of shock.
"That's not supposed to happen!" Rev added in alert.
"Quick, we have stop it now!" Akito said before going off to stop the Robo Amigos from upsetting the costumers even more.
"Sorry I've been late with crime fighting lately, guys." Rev said to the other Loonatics.
"Oh, yeah, busy making toys for rugrats." Duck scoffed a little.
"Don't sweat it, Rev." Ace calmed him down.
"Yeah, it's all good!" Slam added.
"Let's just hope Akito can find out what's wrong with the Robo Amigos." Jenny frowned.
A Robo Amigo came up to a little girl who had a baby doll, but ripped the doll's head off which made the little girl cry. This caused for Rev to rush over to stop it from making the little girl cry even more. The Robo Amigo even removed its own head, scaring the little girl and nearly scarred her for life.
"Robo Amigo, stop, you weren't programmed this way!" Rev sealed the head back on.
The Robo Amigo then started to eat its own wires and the little girl screamed for her dear life. Rev decided to turn it off and take it back to see what went wrong with the help from Akito and Tech. Little did he know that his own brother was responsible for this mess.
"Come on, Tech, we gotta help him fix these." Akito begged with rev.
Misty Breeze did a report on the Robo Amigos which devastated Ralph about Rev's little 'disaster' while Harriet tried to comfort him.
Tech was on his way to his lab anyway while Rev started to beg and plead him into helping again. "Okay, Okay, I'll help you," he told the roadrunner. "But only because I wanna know how something I designed broke down."
"Oh, thanks!" Rev wiped his forehead in relief. "Tech, if you weren't a coyote and a guy, I'd kiss ya!"
"Then lucky for me, I'm both." Tech folded his arms then.
"Yeah, very lucky." Akito said.
"Would you like to come with us?" Tech invited.
"Yeah, that way you don't have to fall off the cliff again," Akito said. "Besides, I am also curious too."
"Come on then, let's go," Tech said as they went back to the Runner residence to observe and examine the Robo Amigo Rev had collected. "It'll be like an investigation."
Akito nodded and followed the roadrunner and coyote.
Rev lay the Robo Amigo down on a table outside the house for Tech and Akito to look at.
"Alright, time to see what isn't working in the Robo Amigo." Akito said.
Tech dismantled the Robo Amigo to take a closer look, but couldn't find anything out of the ordinary. "Everything's just fine," he told the others, curious of why and not sure what could have happened. "Maybe the glitch is in the remote." he then used the remote to turn the Robo Amigo back on.
The robot jerked on the table and started to fly around on its backside and knocked Tech in the stomach which nearly made him fall off the cliff again.
"Oh, come on!" Akito exclaimed. "Not again!"
Tech folded his arms as he fell off the cliff and Rev took the robot to stop it. He came back up though since he had rocket powered shoes and he had anticipated falling off the cliff. "I came prepared this time." he told Rev and Akito about how he didn't fall and hurt himself this time.
"I don't get it," Akito looked around the robot. "There's nothing wrong with the remote, the technology... Unless... It's external."
"External?" Rev asked.
"Robo Amigo must be controlled by something or somebody from the outside!" Tech helped explain and he was glad that Akito knew that, he had done his homework.
"And that would be me!" a familiar voice said as Robo Amigo flew out of Rev's hands and went to its new master.
"No, it couldn't be." Akito said with wide eyes.
"Rip, is that you?" Rev asked in total disbelief.
"How's it feel to be a super failure, Rev!?" Rip retorted as he floated in the air with Simon in his clutches.
"Put Simon down this instant, Rip!" Akito glared at the roadrunner floating in the air.
"Not until our Pop finds out what I'm super at!" Rip sneered. "Besides, he's my minion!"
"No, he's not!" Akito sneered back, then looked to Simon. "You aren't, are you?" he then asked gently.
Simon let out a small sigh and looked guilty.
"I think Simon is guilty about something." Rev said.
"I'm gonna show Pop my own family business, and where better off to start than a new target?" Rip growled, putting a tight hold on the baby he had taken under his wing. "Acmetropolis!" he then laughed wickedly as he jetted off to take over the city planet for attention from his parents for a change.
"Oh, no, we better go stop him and rescue Simon." Akito said before flying off.
Ace and Lexi were with Vincent and Jenny at one part of town, but rushed out of the way as a car was turned over from utter chaos.
"Acmetropolis, get ready for a new sheriff in town, presenting, Rip Runner and little Simon!" Rip laughed wickedly as he started his hostile takeover.
"What the heck is he thinking!?" Vincent asked. "And why does he still have Simon with him?"
Rev rushed over with Akito and Tech, starting to apologize.
"Rev, it's okay, we all have family problems." Jenny said to him.
"Yeah, you got bigger problems than a brother taking a molecular reconstructor?" Akito asked after Tech landed.
"So, what's he gonna do?" Lexi scoffed slightly. "Make Robo Amigos into 'Turbo Amigos'?"
"No more like 'Gigantic Amigos'," Akito told her. "The molecular reconstructor can make things smaller and bigger."
"Indeed." Tech agreed.
The citizens yelled out and spread out as the Amigo was now big enough to destroy the whole city.
"Quick, we have to get that thing off him." Akito said, referring to the device.
"We have to catch up to him somehow!" Tech said.
Felicity gasped, she saw that Rip had Simon. "You put down my baby brother this instant!" she demanded to the now evil roadrunner in the sky.
"Yeah, put Simon down!" Estelle glared to the now evil roadrunner in the sky.
"I don't think so!" Rip retorted.
The Robo Amigo was now crashing and crushing all through the town, panicking the citizens of Acmetropolis.
"That's right, panic, scream, I'll finally be noticed!" Rip laughed evilly as the Robo Amigo was causing chaos.
"I haven't heard or seen this much chaos since Mom, Dad, and Aunt Cherry had to help the Mane Six face Discord with the Elements of Harmony!" Akito cried out.
"Yeah! And then there was the time when they faced King Sombra!" Estelle added in.
"I think I have an idea!" Rev called, then zipped down to the Robo Amigo and spun circles around its head, remembering that its head had to be screwed on in order to stay on.
Robo Amigo followed Rev by turning its head.
"NO!" Rip snarled. "He's doing it again! It's always about you, this time, it's about ME!"
"Is this really worth it?! Having everyone fear you?! Except to just admire your work!" Akito exclaimed.
Robo Amigo then flicked Rev out of his way as his plan wasn't working.
"You wouldn't understand, kid!" Rip snarled to him. "No one understands me except this little guy."
Simon growled and yelled out, feeling pain. He then opened his mouth and took out a tiny hand mirror. He lifted his lips a little and groaned as he saw that his gums were sore and there was a small baby fang coming through one hole. He was in a lot of pain now because he was now earning his teeth and it was a very painful experience for a baby to go through, especially if that baby is part vampire.
"But you're not being a good role model for him!" Akito glared at the evil roadrunner.
"Little Brother, you need to chill!" Ace called.
Rip made Robo Amigo smash a building to make the debris fall on top of the Loonatics to crush them to death.
"Okay, I think it's a good time to go." Lexi said.
They all then rushed out of the way to avoid being crushed. Robo Amigo then chased them. Simon put his finger under his fang and saw a trickle of his own blood, he then reared his head up and chomped on Rip's arm to give him pain and not a vampire bite. And where to Simon's luck, he actually hurt Rip with his very first vampire tooth. Rip yelled out and dropped Simon. Simon was now dropping through the air.
"SIMON!" Felicity yelped and ran to catch her baby brother in her arms. "Come to grande souer! Come to grande souer!"
Luckily Felicity was able to catch her baby brother without him getting hurt.
"Oh, Simon, I was so worried..." Felicity hugged him, slowly shutting her eyes as a tear rolled down her left cheek.
Simon pouted to her, but screamed out a little more as his tooth was really hurting him.
"You're even betraying me!?" Rip glared at Simon.
Simon blew a raspberry to him, narrowing his eyes.
"Fine, who needs you, anyway!" Rip glared at Simon again.
Simon lowly growled and yelled in pain again. Felicity set Simon down, she thought maybe she was the one hurting him. Simon shook his little body due to his teething.
"Don't worry, Simon, it'll be over soon." Jenny soothed him.
"I think he's teething and I think his teeth are coming in as in his vampire teeth." Vincent guessed.
"Teething?" Felicity asked. "What is this teething?"
"It's when a baby is growing their teeth, it can be pretty painful." Vincent explained.
Simon screamed out and pounded on the ground as his teeth grew in.
"And he's showing the signs of it right now." Estelle pointed out.
"Oh, we better stop these bad guys right now." Felicity held Simon as he was suffering.
Rev and Akito then flew up to Rev's brother. "Rip, would you stop!?" they both demanded.
"Rev, you gotta fight me!" Rip demanded.
"I can't fight my little brother!" Rev refused.
"I don't think you have a choice!" Rip retorted, raising his arm with the Robo Amigo and slapped both Rev and Akito against a building.
"Rev, I think he's right, you have to fight him." Akito groaned.
"Had enough?" Rip taunted before making the Robo Amigo smash them again.
Rev knew he had no choice, so he decided to just get it over with. He hid away for now though. Rip glared and walked off with the Robo Amigo.
"I hope we never fight like that." Vincent said to his brother then.
"We won't." Akito promised.
"Thank goodness because I don't think I ever would want us to fight." Vincent sighed out of relief.
"Me too." Akito smiled to him.
Tech flew to Rev's side. "We have to figure out a way to get that thing off him!"
"I think I oughta blast with my laser vision!" Ace suggested.
"You won't hurt Rip, will ya, Ace?" Rev grew nervous then.
"It's not Rip I'm worried about." Ace replied.
"If we can hit that device with our heat beam eyes AKA heat vision, then we could be able to cause it to let go of Rip." Akito said.
"Just what I was thinkin'!" Ace agreed with him.
Oliver and Georgette watched in stunned silence as they saw the Loonatics at work. Georgette looked weary, but Oliver looked really excited.
"You can do it, guys!" Oliver cheered.
"Watch out!" Georgette whined and bowed down, covering her face with her front paws.
"You guys can do it!" Oliver cheered.
Lexi flew up with Estelle and they both used their brain blasts against the Robo Amigo.
'Hopefully this will be a big enough distraction for Akito and Ace to attack that device that's attached to Rip.' Estelle thought to herself.
Rip glared at them and made Robo Amigo punch them. However, Tech stopped the force and made Robo Amigo halt his punching. Rip sneered once he saw this and made a car crash against him. Ace and Akito then decided to zap Rip with their laser eyes since Rip's back was turned.
'Please work, please work, please work.' Akito thought to himself.
Rip was stunned for a moment, but he sharply turned to Akito and Ace, angered that they had done that to them.
"Oh, dear..." Akito said with a gulp.
Rip then made the Robo Amigo crash them against another building and the two went off. Simon yelled and screamed as tears were in his eyes from his teething and he glared to the evil roadrunner and robot toy.
"I thought that would have worked." Estelle said.
"The power strip's been on so long!" Tech noticed. "I don't know if we can get it off! This is going nowhere unless it launches me..."
The others looked to see Acmetropolis was nearly destroyed by Rip and the Robo Amigo. Rip and the Robo Amigo were then traveling all through the town and taking over more Robo Amigo dolls which panicked parents and children.
"Oh, for the love of Gabriel, the humanity!" Georgette whined and started to howl again.
"Georgette, calm down!" Oliver told the poodle.
"This situation was bad enough a minute ago, but now there are two of them!" Rev yelped once he saw his brother controlled another Robo Amigo. "He's unstoppable!"
"Is there nothing we can do?" Felicity sounded hopeless.
Simon took out a couple of dolls and crashed them against each other to symbolize fighting to the death.
"I hate to say it, but Rev, I think you have to fight Rip, even it's to the death." Estelle said with a frown.
"Oh, boy..." Rev sounded hesitant about that, but flew up to his stronger brother now.
"I just hope they don't have to really fight to the death." Jenny covered her eyes.
"I hope so too," Vincent said. "I hope so too."
"Well, I do." An evil voice said, surprisingly enough Vincent could only hear.
"What?" Vincent looked around. "Who said that?"
"Who are you talking to?" Jenny asked.
"Didn't you hear that?" Vincent asked.
'No one else can hear me, dude...' the voice taunted him. 'It's just you and me against the world!'
"Who the heck are you?" Vincent whispered.
"I'm someone who can make you strong even as strong as your younger brother." The voice tempted him.
"Really?" Vincent was doubtful.
Simon glanced up at Vincent and twirled his finger next to his ear.
"Yes really, but only if you agree for me to train you as in do everything I tell you to do, alright, dude?" The voice said.
Vincent sighed and gave in. "All right, just get it over with, I'll do whatever you want."
"Good, now dude, until this mission is over just behave like you normally would." The voice told him.
Vincent didn't speak with the voice this time and just nodded and went along with it.
"Good and I assure you, dude, when I'm through with you, everyone will be surprised with the result." The voice said evilly before vanishing.
"Hmm..." Vincent looked deep into thought as Rev and Rip were fighting each other.
Rev stormed through the sky and purposely made the Robo Amigos fly after him.
"You can do it, Rev!" Estelle cheered.
"Oh, I hope he will be okay." Felicity cried.
"I'm sure he'll be alright." Oliver said.
Rev and Rip kept fighting, it was getting very intense, but soon enough, the device was removed from Rip's system. Simon crawled over to take the device for himself. Simon yelled out and glared at him.
Akito shook his head. "Sorry, I can't let you take it."
Simon yelled even louder with tears in his eyes. Akito then decided to compromise, he let out a small sigh and smashed the device so it would break and never be used again. Simon took the device and he started to teeth on it to soothe himself.
"There, you see, we got to make a compromise." Akito told his baby cousin.
Simon saluted and continued to suckle, feeling relieved that he knew how to relax his teething.
"Aw! He looks so cute suckling." Estelle said.
