It's 3pm and Drex finally woke up. But it was hot where he was. He was on a small platform in the middle of a volcano. He freaks out, but then realized that he's indestructible.
???: Even though you're indestructible, you can still feel the burn.
Drex: What the... WHO ARE YOU?!
???: Call me Dark Father.
Drex: ...what?
Dark Father: Eh, copyright stuff. If I used what I wanted to use, Disney would probably sue my ass even though they didn't write that part of the story. Plus, it suits my voice.
Drex: Well listen here, Dark Father, I'm not interested in going back to being a bad guy, so DON'T EVEN TRY IT!
Dark Father: Oh, I know. I'm just waiting for Captain Man to save you. Until then... [he lowers the platform Drex is on.] ...he has 2 hours to show up before you drop in the lava.
Drex: 2 hours? Really? That long?
Dark Father: Considering how Captain Man feels about you, it'll be done in no time. And yes, it will feel like a long time because it is a long time. Now, whether you excuse me or not, I'm gonna get some food. I made a reservation for 1 at Montego's.
Drex: NOOOO!
Dark Father: Later.
Dark Father leaves the volcano.
Drex: Man, this stinks! LITERALLY! I wake up and this is what I get.
His headband falls off of his head, making it a soft, thick, wet necklace.
Drex: ...I hate it here.
Meanwhile, at Swellview Junior High, the Danger Force crew was in detention. There were only 3 seats, so Mika sat on Bose's lap. Of course, they liked that. Even though they were sitting, they were still cuddling with each other.
Bose: I'm sorry guys. I shouldn't have gone wild on that guy. I just didn't want him to take my Mika away from me.
Miles: It's all good. Thanks for protecting her from him. I'm actually glad it's you dating Mika because at least I know it's someone nice and protective that I can trust.
Bose: Thanks Miles.
Chapa: Plus, it's not even your fault. It's that bitch Becky's.
Becky just earned herself 3 enemies that are on Mika's side. Bose was already leaning towards hating her, but after today, it's in full effect. Miles didn't really care that much before, but now that she tried to take Bose away from his sister, he cares now. Chapa would hate anyone any given day outside of Danger Force, so hating Becky wasn't that hard, but now it's genuine hatred.
Mika: At least Mitch Bilsky graduated, so he can't pick on us.
Bose: True that.
Chapa: I can't believe that's a sentence.
Miles: Me neither.
It went silent for 10 minutes. Chapa was about to go crazy, but then...
Bose: So... how was your guys'... food?
Miles: What?
Chapa: Eh. Could've been better.
They all just sat there all bored. Except for Mika. She was smiling and playing with Bose's hair. He would play with hers, but he knew she wouldn't like that.
Mika: [whispers to Bose] Since you're my boyfriend, I'll let you touch my hair.
He did. Mika doesn't usually like it when they touch her hair, but it was something about Bose's touch that was so...soothing. Chapa watched as Bose lightly stroked Mika's hair. She knew Miles wouldn't like that sight, so she picked up her chair, went to the opposite side, sat it right next to him, sat down, and cuddled with him. Miles liked that feeling.
35 minutes later...
Meanwhile, at the Man's Nest, Ray and Schwoz received a video. Schwoz plays it.
Dark Father: Hey Captain Man, look who I've got!
He points the camera to Drex.
Dark Father: You'd better save him now, or he'll come back red and na-
Schwoz stops the video.
Ray: HA!
Schwoz: Ray! You better save him!
Ray: Nah. There's can only be 1 indestructible superhero.
Schwoz: Yet, you were willing to fight crime with an indestructible Henry who could also laugh fire.
Ray: It only lasted for a day! Plus, we didn't even fight crime while he was indestructible!
Schwoz: You said it was awesome!
They argue for another 10 minutes. Ray then exits, going to his room.
Schwoz: Man, he's thick.
He decided to call Mika and tell her the news.
Mika: What's going on Schwoz? We just got out of detention.
Schwoz: You guys were in detention?
Mika: Yes. I'll explain later, but why did you call us?
Schwoz: Drex is trapped in a volcano and he needs saved. Ray won't do it because it's Drex.
Mika: Go figure. We're on it.
She hangs up.
Schwoz: I work with 4 children who are more responsible than that man-child.
4:05pm
Danger Force arrives at the volcano.
Shoutout: Sorry Drex. I wish Captain Man wasn't so arrogant.
Drex: Eh, it's fine. At least you guys are here to save me.
???: NO! It can't be you 4!
It's Dark Father. He pins all of Danger Force to a wall he made and traps them against it.
Dark Father: It has to be Captain Man!
Shoutout tries to sonic scream at him, but it doesn't work. She even tried her Sonic Ball. Nothing.
Dark Father: Nope. Can't use your powers when you're on my wall.
Shoutout: Why are you doing this?!
Dark Father: Because...bad guy cliche.
Brainstorm: Makes sense.
Volt and AWOL: Does it though?
Dark Father: For what I'm trying to accomplish, yes.
Shoutout: Okay, there's more to it than the "bad guy cliche." I'm gonna get the answer out of you one way or another! I'll even do it by being as annoying as possible!
Dark Father: Yeah, you do that. I'll just go in one of my special force fields.
He goes in a green force field. This one makes it so that whoever's inside doesn't hear anything going on on the outside and vice versa, hence Shoutout can't do anything about it.
Dark Father: She's right about him being arrogant. Maybe once I show him that his sidekicks are in danger and lie to him about throwing them in the lava, he'll save Drex. Not exactly what I wanted to happen, but at least he'd be the one to save him.
AWOL thought it was Henry at first, but then remembered that he could hear Ray when he was trying to listen to Rick Twitler's plan.
5 minutes later...
Back in the Man's Nest, they get another video. Schwoz and Ray are in there. Schwoz plays it.
Dark Father: Captain Man, this is your last chance. You have 45 minutes to save Drex or else your sidekicks are going in too!
Ray: Okay, Drex is one thing, but Danger Force is TOO FAR!
Schwoz: You know you'll have to save Drex first.
Ray: No way! I'll just save my sidekicks, then they can save him.
Schwoz: ...whatever.
He grabs the Man Drone.
Schwoz: Let's go.
They head for the Man Copter. They fly to the volcano. It took them 10 minutes to get there. Captain Man jumps on the platform surrounding the lava. Schwoz leaves the volcano with the Man Copter knowing Miles can teleport.
Captain Man: [to Danger Force] Okay guys, I'm gonna save you guys, then you all can save Drex.
Volt: Okay, but...
Dark Father: Nope. You have to save Drex before your sidekicks.
Captain Man: Oh yeah? Watch me!
He runs to Danger Force, but he bumps into a gold force field.
Dark Father: Watched. Bored. Drex first.
Captain Man: NO!
He tries to punch through the force field, but it doesn't work. He did that for 33 minutes.
T-MINUS 2 MINUTES!
Dark Father: I'll open that force field in 2 minutes, but that's when they're getting launched in as well.
Shoutout: Dang it Ray! JUST SAVE DREX ALREADY!
Captain Man: NEVER! HE TOOK MY MAN'S NEST AWAY FROM ME!
T-MINUS 90 SECONDS!
Shoutout: BUT IF HE DIES, YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO BUY IT OFF OF HIM!
Shoutout knew that wasn't true, but it was the heat of the moment and Captain Man did want his Man's Nest back.
Captain Man: ALRIGHT! FINE!
He flies the Man Drone down to Drex. He grabs it and Captain Man lifts him out.
T-MINUS 60 SEcconnnnd...
Dark Father: There. Was that so hard?
Dark Father releases Danger Force. Everyone was confused, but Brainstorm didn't care.
Brainstorm: I call taking him down with Shoutout!
Shoutout heard that and got excited. Crime fighting with just her boyfriend? She'd take that chance in a heartbeat.
Shoutout: Yes! We need some alone time after this too.
Volt, AWOL, Captain Man, and Drex: Okay.
They all teleport back to the Man's Nest.
Shoutout: Any last words before we take you down?
Dark Father: Your boss needs character development on a NUMBER of levels.
Brainstorm and Shoutout: Huh?
Dark Father takes off his suit. He has clothes on underneath, so don't y'all readers worry. He's no pedophile.
Shoutout: TEDDY?!
Brainstorm: Tall floating guy?
Teddy: Yup. I wasn't actually going to throw you guys in the lava. I had it all planned out. I specifically made it so that the main focus was Ray saving Drex so that he can actually start respecting him. Unfortunately, I had to use you guys as bait as well. At least Ray respects you guys, but respecting Drex is next.
Shoutout: I feel like you should've had Ray as the damsel and Drex as the hero.
Teddy: ...oh. Yeah, now that you said that, it makes more sense. I definitely tend to overthink these things.
Now that Brainstorm and Shoutout knew that it was Teddy Jak and not some rando, they transformed into Bose and Mika.
Mika: Even then, I hope you realize that it's going to take a lot more than that.
Teddy: Oh believe me, I know. Well, I know NOW. You guys said something about Ray not being able to buy the Man's Nest off of Drex. What was that about?
Mika: We had a family dinner, but Ray, Schwoz, and Drex were invited too.
Teddy: Wait, all of your families or just the Macklins?
Bose: All of our families.
Teddy: Okay, were VM Willard, Alejandro or Sage there?
Bose: Just my stepdad. Well, out of the people you mentioned.
Teddy: So the other two don't know.
Mika: From what I understand, Chapa's father knows, but Sage had to get her memories wiped once she found out during the family attacks before dinner.
Teddy: Wait, what?
Bose: The villains burned down Swellview Prison and went after our houses.
Teddy: WHAT! HOW DID... wait... DEDE!
Mika: Yep.
Teddy: FUCKER! I SHOULD'VE WIPED HER MEMORIES! You guys are okay, right? The whole town doesn't know?
Bose: We're good. Dede also got her memories erased along with the other villains, including Rick Twitler.
Teddy: Good. He is a menace. I'll have to search for any backup plans he made so he won't disturb you guys anymore. But back to the matter at hand. How did Drex buy the Man's Nest off of Ray?
Bose: Long story short, Ray's a mom whisper, Drex isn't, and my stepdad let him buy it for a dollar.
Teddy was confused.
Teddy: A dollar? That's it?
Mika: Because he saves the town and he only has a one dollar fee. They cover the rest due to his "gratitude".
Teddy: That doesn't surprise me. Did anything else happen?
Bose: Well, I can fly now.
Teddy: Really!
Mika: And I can use a Sonic Ball now!
Teddy: Nice! And I assume that Miles can now teleport larger objects and teleport stuff without teleporting himself?
Mika: Yeah. How did you know?
Teddy: Because I'm the one that gave you those upgrades.
Bose: Wait, really?
Mika: When?
Teddy: Remember when we were watching Genuine Moments after Drex and I tied Ray up to a dolly cart?
Mika: Yeah. ...wait, what scene were we watching when you did that?
Teddy: Sometimes, there are ships that aren't ship worthy. Once we got to one of those scenes, I decided to think up of some new powers for you three. Chapa didn't need a new one.
Mika: Wait, are you talking about Tammy and Greg?
Teddy: Yeah, and the actress that plays Tammy already debunked that ship, but yet, for some reason, people still ship them.
Mika: Well I don't.
Teddy: Neither do I. How much you want to bet Ray does?
Mika: Nothing, because he probably does.
Bose: I hate to switch the subject, but why not make it so they have to fight together?
Teddy: Who?
Bose: Ray and Drex.
Mika: Baby, there's no way we can do that.
Teddy: Actually Mika, he's onto something.
Bose: We can make up an excuse as a group so that Ray and Drex can do that.
Teddy: ...nevermind.
His face suddenly lights up.
Teddy: WAIT! I have an idea. Meet me at the top of the Nakatomi Tower at 8. I'm also going to tell Chapa and Miles. I'll need their help as well. Until then, I'll be watching stuff go down in the Man's Nest.
Mika: Well that'll be interesting. You wanna go on a dinner date, Bosey?
Bose: Sure thing, my love.
They smile at each other, pecked each other's lips.
Teddy: Do you two want me to teleport you two behind a bush close to the place so you don't have to walk?
Bose: Sure!
Mika: [to Bose] You want to go to Nacho Ball?
Bose: The nice one, right?
Mika: Of course!
Bose: Sure!
Teddy teleports them behind a bush near the nice Nacho Ball, then himself to the Man's Nest.
