On Today's Episode: The spies explore Genesis' secret lair in hopes of finding Alex and Haruka before the worst comes to pass. But Macker seems to be especially petty this time around, as the clones the spies have to battle here seem to know how to make it personal, and then there's the little wrinkle of... well... Can the spies overcome the flood of mutants and clones to save their friends from the clutches of mad science?

Act 2: Welcome to the Lunacy Lair

3:27 P.M. – Macker and Genesis' Secret Lair

"Is it safe to say that this is about what I expected from this place?" Blaine wondered once the spies had reached Macker and Genesis' secret hideout.

"You're not the only one, Blaine," Sam replied.

"I'll say," Dawn added.

"Yikes, I think I'm going to turbo-barf looking at all of this crap!" Clover exclaimed.

"Good, then that makes two of us," Mat commented.

"Alex would say 'make it three' if she were here," May remarked.

"We should probably hurry because I'm not leaving those two in Genesis' greasy claws," Nick emphasized.

"Don't need to say that twice," Bridget added, remembering the car wash battles she and Haruka had in the past, especially that one where she'd tried to get Haruka in the back, but Haruka had actually backflipped over the car to avoid it. Bridget promised she would never forget the look on Nick's face when he'd seen Haruka do that.

"Hey, we'll find 'em," Nozomi assured. "And we'll stomp on Genesis for even thinking about coming back!"

"Hey, mutants and clones at five o'clock!" Melissa called out.

Another army was there in the flesh.

"All right, then, time for the fun part..." Bridget smirked.

"Speed cures all things," Britney quipped.

"Got that right," Bridget replied. "Sonic Mode, online!"

When the light from her transformation had faded, Bridget was already on the move, bowling down clones and mutants alike so the rest of the spies would have some room to work.

"Back, savages, back, I say!" Melissa exclaimed as she fired a Cyclone Blast Hairdryer and swept it across the crowd to scatter them.

Of course, one of the clones was of James, and he immediately moved to snatch up Sam, but Mat was over there in a flash to kick the James clone away from Sam.

"Nice try, guy," Mat taunted.

As the battle raged on, somewhere else in the lair, a captured Alex and Haruka could only watch through nearby video monitors as the spies took on the army of clones and mutants.

"You'd think they'd get some new shtick by now, but..." Haruka quipped.

"Tell me about it," Alex answered. "You can only stomach so many clones and mutants before it gets really stale."

Alex shot a glare towards Genesis, who was watching the melee from the other side of the room. "That's a lesson you two could really learn," Alex taunted.

"Oh, but this is merely an appetizer for the main course, my dear," Genesis chuckled. "And trust me, you'll want to watch this one very closely."

Macker typed in something on the closest control panel, and a nearby doorway shuttered open to reveal two very advanced-looking mutants that walked out.

But when Alex and Haruka got a good look at these particular mutants...

"W-wait, is that... is that supposed to be me?" Alex gasped. Indeed, these two mutants looked like very heavily disfigured versions of Alex and Haruka, with multiple goopy appendages and strange-looking eyes.

Haruka's eyes narrowed dangerously when she made the connection. "...you wouldn't dare," Haruka growled.

"We'll see how your precious boy toy handles it when he's forced to kill what he believes are his fiancée and one of his best friends," Macker laughed. "Oh, I can't wait to savor the despair on his face!"

"And look, there's nothing you two can do about it, trapped as you are," Genesis taunted. "And with my neural dampeners lining your cell, he can't use his powers to find you. And by then, it'll be too late."

"Is that your actual scheme, you deep-fried lunatic?!" Alex shouted. "You're trying to drag Nick down to your level, aren't you?!"

"It's such a shame that all of this insight comes far too late to do anything about it," Macker quipped as he and Genesis walked out of the room, the mutants following.

When the room was quiet, Alex immediately started shuffling around the cell, trying desperately to find a way they could free themselves.

"We've gotta get out of here, and fast," Alex stated.

"Yeah, but without our gadgets, we're kinda up the creek," Haruka admitted.

But just then, Haruka noticed something strapped to her wrist. She looked down and noticed that it was an Emergency Gadget Transporter.

"Wait, you've had that on your wrist the whole time?" Alex gasped.

"Oof, I must have forgotten in all the chaos that happened when we got spy-napped," Haruka chuckled. "That's my oof, honestly."

"I'm more shocked that our baddies didn't notice it," Alex quipped.

"Maybe they were too busy getting cocky," Haruka stated.

Haruka turned the dial on the EGT to summon an Electromagnetic Curling Iron to her hands, then slipped it through the bars of the cell and fired a blast into the control console at the other end of the room, short-circuiting the controls and causing the cell door to slide open.

Alex and Haruka ran over to the nearby table to retrieve their X-Powders and other gadgets before booking it out of the room, hoping they could intercept Genesis and Macker before something went horribly wrong.

Back with the rest of the spies, Nick had finally had enough and used a Zero Gravity to send the mutants and clones floating helplessly in the air.

"Last chance you're getting, you freaks," Nick taunted. "Get your asses out here before I start tearing this place down!"

Sure enough, Macker and Genesis emerged from nearby, though this time, they were flanked by two figures that resembled heavily mutated versions of Alex and Haruka.

Genesis cackled silently at the look of absolute horror on the spies' faces, especially Nick's expression.

"You didn't," Melissa growled.

"I'm sorry to say that... well, you made it here far too late," Genesis laughed. "Both of them have already been mutated, and soon enough, they'll be a part of my army. So, Nick, how does it feel knowing that you have utterly failed?"

The rest of the spies all saw Nick's expression change from stabbing grief, to a nearly blank look, and then to a glare of unyielding rage.

And they all wisely decided to step back.

"I'm..."

"Oh, what was that, boy?" Macker taunted. "You're going to have to speak up."

Nick's psychic aura exploded to life around him as he looked up, nothing but hatred staring back at the two villains.

"I'M GONNA FREAKIN' KILL YOU TWO, THAT'S WHAT!" Nick screamed as he charged towards Genesis with every intent of ending him right on the spot, only for his attack to be deflected by the Mutant Alex's tendrils.

The Mutant Alex started wildly flailing its tendrils to keep Nick away from Genesis and Macker, though he managed to deflect each strike.

The Mutant Haruka moved in and jumped through the air to pounce on Nick while he was busy dodging Mutant Alex, knocking him down to the ground.

As the two mutants piled on, Nick threw his hands outwards, unleashing a psychic pulse that blew the mutants back, though it didn't seem to change the fact that they were still mercilessly attacking him.

Nick backflipped over a tendril stab from Mutant Alex, trying to think of something, anything he could do to save them.

"That's right, boy, it's over for you!" Macker cackled. "Wallow in despair and hopelessness knowing that you couldn't save them in time! You've failed! How does that feel?!"

As the two mutants started swarming him again, Nick tried his best not to let those words get to him, even if it was becoming increasingly harder the longer this battle when on.

"Now, ladies, as fun as it is watching this boy squirm, please stop playing around and end him," Macker quipped.

"And you know that you haven't finished the antidote for these mutations yet, so if you want to set them free, Nick, you know what you have to do," Genesis cackled.

Nick hesitated for a split second upon hearing that, and it was all the opportunity the mutants needed to pounce on Nick and pin him down.

"Come on, Nick, do it," Macker sneered. "Kill them. You know it's the only way."

"Sorry, but nobody's dying today, thank you very much!"

Suddenly, the mutants were yanked off of Nick by Alex and Haruka before being flung into the opposite wall. Alex wasted no time in jumping through the air to capitalize on Genesis' stunned state and kick him directly in the face before grabbing him by the shirt collar and tossing him towards Haruka, who nailed Genesis with a jumping scissor kick that sent the mad scientist flying into Macker, both villains crumpling to the ground.

"Now how about you beat it before we have to get even nastier, you son of a bitch?" Alex growled. If Alex was swearing, that was a pretty good sign that she was legitimately angry.

And that was enough for Macker and Genesis to make a swift retreat, their mutants and clones following.

Nick just stood there, hoping that he hadn't started hallucinating all of this. He briefly scanned their minds to make sure they were the real deal...

...and then he flung himself into Alex's arms, allowing himself to cry out of sheer relief.

"Usually I'm the one doing the relief glomp around here," Alex giggled as she returned Nick's hug.

"Alex, what the heck happened back there?" Clover gasped. "Those mutants weren't actually you guys, were they?"

"That was just Macker and Genesis," Haruka responded. "They apparently made clones of the two of us and mutated them to make Nick think that we'd been... well, indisposed."

"We managed to bust out of our cell thanks to an oversight by our baddies," Alex quipped as Haruka showed off her Emergency Gadget Transporter. "But we had to haul keester over here before they could get into Nick's head."

"And damned if it didn't almost work, too," Nick sighed.

"So don't worry your head off, okay, Nick?" Haruka replied. "We're perfectly fine and ready to bust some more butts."

"Tell you what, Haruka," Nick quipped. "Next pool session, I'll let you tease me once, no questions asked, 'kay?"

"You've got a deal," Haruka chuckled as she hugged Nick as well.

"Well, now that the team's back together, how about we head on off after our villains?" Sortiliena offered. "They've got some serious lumps coming their way, after all."

"Damn right," Nick stated. "RiCO, can you show us the way?"

"All over that," RiCO responded, Nick's X-Powder screen displaying a map of the facility along with Macker's signal.

"Okay, everyone, let's move!" Sam proclaimed.

"By the way, what's this 'teasing' going on?" Sortiliena wondered.

"Let's just say it's pool-related, and involves Haruka in a two-piece around Nick," May told her.

"Plus, Mat, Nozomi, and I are the ones who saw it first," Clover added.

"I have to admit that I was kind of taken aback briefly myself," Mat admitted.

"For real?" Sam asked, sounding surprised at hearing this.

"Mainly because I didn't know she owned a bikini," Mat replied.

"I guess that makes sense," Blaine commented.

"That sounds like a fun story in its own right," Sortiliena giggled.

"Let's just say logic isn't what it used to be, Sortiliena," Nick assured her.

"But I have him over a barrel, no question about it," Haruka giggled. "He's EASY to tease!"

"This I should see..." Sortiliena stated.

"Did you wanna join us at the beach house after this is all over, Sortiliena?" Sam offered.

"...you know what, I think I'll take you guys up on that," Sortiliena responded. "Trust me, the job of a combat instructor can get pretty tiring sometimes, and I do feel like I could use some unwinding time."

"I've picked them up," RiCO told the group after the tension-releasing had been dealt with.

"Where'd you find them?" May asked.

"The Venice Boardwalk this time," RiCO stated. "Sorta strange if you ask me..."

"That makes two of us who think so," Clover commented.

"Regardless, we'll get there in no time," Bridget assured. "Sonic Mode, online!"

With that, Bridget kicked up the juice once everyone gathered and made a break for the Venice Boardwalk.

5:02 P.M. – The Venice Boardwalk

"Oh, geez," Sam chastised. "Considering the foot traffic here, they might've picked the perfect place besides The Groove to unleash their hell."

"Valid point, Sam," Britney replied.

"No doubt," Melissa added.

("It's Gonna be Me" by N*Sync plays)

"I want that first crack after what Macker did," Alex told the others.

"I won't argue there," Dawn commented.

The spies kept their eyes peeled for any chaos that was soon to happen.

It didn't take long for hell to break loose on the Venice Boardwalk.

"That's our cue!" Haruka exclaimed.

"Ah, I was wondering when you'd arrive," Genesis laughed. "I've been expecting the lot of you."

"Because of course you were, you little punk," Mat shot back, already aiming a Cyclone Blast Hairdryer for Genesis. "That was an absolutely dirty trick you pulled back there, you know."

"I thought we'd already established that when it comes to ending you, spies, there's nothing too dirty for our minds," Macker chuckled.

"...okay, absolutely not the mental image I expected," Dawn groaned.

"Now how about you just accept that you don't have a snowball's chance in hell of stopping us now?" Genesis quipped.

"You certainly haven't lost any of that arrogance, have you?" Nick shot back, his psychic aura flaring to life around him.

Before Genesis could make another snappy retort, Alex jumped forward, leapfrogging off of Nick's shoulders to get enough momentum to knock Genesis to the ground with an overhead snap kick.

Macker attempted to shoot at Alex with his robotic hand, but Alex ducked and weaved through the blasts to grab Macker by his robotic arm and judo-flip him into the ground.

Haruka continued the attack by jumping over Alex and stomping on Macker's foot to get him to jump back to his feet, then did the same to Genesis, and finished by grabbing the two villains by the wrists and slamming them into each other before turning and winking to Nick.

Nick immediately got the message and jogged over just as Haruka attacked as well. Both Nick and Haruka punched Macker and Genesis at the same time before landing four swift strikes in perfect sync with each other, following up with a dual rising kick that sent both baddies into the air. Nick and Haruka finished up by jumping after the villains and sending them both crashing back to the ground with a dual overhead slam.

"And that's how it's done," Haruka proclaimed after high-fiving Nick.

"You two want to give it up before we hurt you even more?!" Melissa shouted, aiming an Electromagnetic Curling Iron for Genesis. "Because we've got plenty of hurt to dish out on you little nuts."

"Should you really be worried about us right now?" Macker quipped as he and Genesis picked themselves up. "After all..."

As Macker and Genesis tried to make their escape, however, Nick raised his hand to snatch them both in his psychic hold.

"Oh, no, we're not done with you yet, you monsters," Nick proclaimed. "My bones with you just grew about tenfold after what you tried to make me do."

Just for emphasis, Nick snapped his hand down to smash both villains into the ground, then psychically picked them up again and slammed them into each other.

"...is this supremely satisfying to watch for any of you?" Clover wondered as the rest of the spies watched Nick make puppets out of the baddies.

"Hey, if Nick wasn't doing it, I would," May quipped.

Finally, Nick flicked Macker and Genesis into the air before blasting them both with a Final Shine Attack, sending both villains careening into a nearby wall.

Before Nick could make a move to capture Macker and Genesis, however, another mutant jumped in and swiped at Nick with its tendrils. Though Nick was easily able to dodge the strike, this had given Macker and Genesis all the time they needed to make their escape.

"Of course," Nozomi groaned as she knocked the mutant backwards with a jumping kick.

"Spies, can you read me?" RiCO called from Nick's X-Powder. "We've finished making those antidotes for Genesis' mutations, so you can head back to HQ and stock up."

"We're on our way, RiCO," Sam stated. "It sounds like we're going to need them."

6:08 P.M. – W.O.O.H.P. Headquarters
Jerry's Office

When the spies returned to headquarters, they noticed a collection of canisters filled with a bright green liquid lying on the nearby table.

"This the stuff, Jer?" Alex wondered.

"Yes, that is our anti-mutation serum," Jerry proclaimed as the spies moved to stock up. "We already tested it on the mutants that you sent our way earlier today, and they are both back to full humans."

"That's a relief," Blaine quipped.

"Is there any sign of where they're headed now?" Mat asked.

RiCO closed her eyes for a couple seconds as she searched for the signal that Macker was giving off.

"It appears that they're headed towards The Groove," RiCO answered.

"This is getting way too predictable, honestly," Britney stated.

"Well, then, let's find them and give them a lesson they'll never forget, shall we?" Sortiliena proclaimed.

6:26 P.M. – The Groove

Oddly enough, The Groove was pretty quiet when the spies arrived there.

"...did we actually get there before they did?" Alex wondered.

"Or are they trying to fake us out?" Bridget asked.

Nick looked behind him, his psychic radar having picked up threatening thoughts. "Oh, they're here, all right," Nick proclaimed.

Sure enough, Macker and Genesis emerged with a small army of mutants and clones following behind them.

"So glad you could join us, everyone," Genesis stated quite proudly.

"Um, in case you missed the last five memos, we're not in any mood for your nonsense today," Sam shot back. "So either get the hell out of our way or bring it on!"

"Well, since you asked so nicely..." Macker laughed before pointing towards the spies. "GET THEM!"

With that command, the army of mutants and clones charged to attack the spies.

"No matter... we'll turn them into knockoff rejects!" Mat exclaimed.

("Geronimo" by Sheppard plays)

"Clones are really nothing but cheap knockoffs," Nick stated. "And you two are certainly proving that right after we're done."

The spies scattered in all directions as the next battle broke out.

"Time to apply the combat training courses then," Sortiliena quipped.

A half-dozen clones all surrounded Sortiliena, but she kicked three of them away before jumping over another two, using her feet to smash them both into each other, then leapfrogging off and pouncing on the last one to smash it right into the ground.

"Next!" Sortiliena called out.

"Good move, Liena!" May exclaimed.

In return, May noticed a gaggle of clones surrounding her and summoned her trusty anchor from the EGT.

"Anybody for 'anchor lasso'?" May quipped as she twirled her anchor like a lasso.

With that, she twirled it in at least two circles, but she also made sure to not make herself dizzy.

"Touché, bitches!" May exclaimed.

Melissa and Mat opted on a team-up this time while Sam and Bridget teamed up themselves.

As a bunch of clones and mutants attempted to pincer them in, Mat and Melissa simply nodded to each other before jumping into the air to make a pair of clones miss them, before coming down with a dual snap kick to knock two mutants to the ground, followed up by taking out Cyclone Blast Hairdryers and blasting the army around them away.

Mat and Melissa even stopped to high-five each other before moving to help the others.

Britney, Alex, and Haruka were also surrounded by some clones.

"Up and over doesn't sound like a bad idea," Haruka told the others.

With that, the three of them used the Pogo Bounce Sandals to leap over the group of clones that surrounded them. They all grabbed the shoulders of some of the clones in the back row.

"Let's dub it 'up and over bowling,' eh?" Britney giggled.

"Bowling or dominoes?" Haruka quipped.

Before long, the three of them managed to kick three clones in the backs to send them all down like bowling pins.

"That's a strike and spare," Alex added.

In the meantime, Clover and the others were surrounded by more mooks as well.

"Time to raise the decibel levels a bit," Clover quipped.

She equipped the Scan Man 9000 Radio. It was enough for the mooks to cover their ears in complete discomfort.

"Good thinking, Clover!" Nozomi exclaimed.

The rest of the spies managed to use their Laser Lipsticks (Chapstick for Blaine) and other gadgets to eventually destroy the clones.

"That did it," Nick stated as Macker and Genesis looked on disbelief.

"Now, I say it's your turn..." Clover remarked as the rest of the spies centered on Macker and Genesis.

"You wouldn't dare, would you?" Macker laughed. "It's obviously not the W.O.O.H.P. way to start killing willy-nilly, you know?"

"Well, you should also know that we only go for the 'end them' route if we aren't given any other choice," Sam proclaimed. "So don't go and play that card when you know it's not going to work!"

"And considering the fact that you're supposed to be dead, Genesis," Nick stated.

"I'm still here, aren't I?" Genesis chuckled. "My greatness will live on."

"Um, okay, he's definitely lost it this time," Clover quipped. "Can we please just kick both of their butts so we can move on with our lives?"

"Oh, you'd like to think that, wouldn't you?" Macker retorted. "You won't be singing that tune once we're finished with you, spies."

"Now, if you'll excuse us, we have business to attend to," Genesis proclaimed, only for Nick to reach out, grab Genesis in his psychic hold, and yank him closer.

"I said I'm not finished with you yet, you madman," Nick growled.

"Is that right?" Genesis taunted.

"Oh, you do not want to know what I'm going to do to you if you make me any angrier," Nick retorted. "So maybe don't piss me off any further."

"But that's the fun, isn't it?" Genesis admitted. "It's worth it to aggravate your targets and see how they react. And it definitely seems like I've gotten underneath your skin lately, boy."

May hefted her anchor and pointed it towards Genesis. "You wanna retract that stupid statement before I bean you upside the head with this?" May taunted. "Because I will do it if you keep running your mouth."

Macker just chuckled and aimed his robotic hand towards the spies. "As I mentioned, we do have things to be doing, so if you wouldn't mind..." Macker laughed before firing a laser towards Nick, and though he dodged it, he was forced to relinquish his psychic grip on Genesis to do so.

Macker then jumped into the air, using rocket boots to fly around the spies and surround them with a ring of fire so they couldn't escape.

This allowed both Macker and Genesis to make their escape.

"Okay, this is bringing back some bad memories," Melissa quipped, remembering when Macker had done this the last time he'd teamed up with Genesis.

"But this time, we have the perfect gadget to douse pesky rings of fire," May giggled, using her Emergency Gadget Transporter to summon an Ultra High Pressure Water Cannon, turn the dial to the cold water setting, and spray a deluge of water to douse the ring of fire around them. "I'm so glad Mona gave us blueprints to build this baby."

"Any idea where they might have gone?" Sortiliena wondered.

"I'm picking up two separate signals," RiCO answered from Nick's X-Powder. "It looks like they split up to draw you guys apart."

"Oh, then we'll definitely play that game," Nick responded. "I'm gonna go after Genesis so I can teach him a lesson he'll never forget. Alex, May, Nozomi, Haruka, you're all coming with me. The rest of you should pursue Macker and give him some lumps."

"Sounds like a plan, big bro!" Melissa proclaimed. "Let's do this thing, everyone!"

The spies all split into their respective teams and headed off to find their villains.

7:15 P.M. – Downtown Beverly Hills

"I'm still picking up Macker's signal really close by, but I don't see him," Sam quipped as she moved her X-Powder around to search for Macker. "That could only mean he's underground or..."

"Or he could be above us," Melissa stated, pointing to the sky.

"Wait, what do you..." Mat asked, only to follow Melissa's gesture and see exactly what she'd seen. "...oh."

("I Believe" by Lyn Inaizumi plays)

Floating there high in the sky above the city was a floating platform upon which rested a large and very advanced laser cannon, the barrel pointing downwards towards the spies.

"Did he seriously rebuild that stupid Eclipse Cannon of his?!" Clover gasped.

"It doesn't look as big as it was before, though," Dawn noted. "Hopefully that means something."

"Regardless, we should get in the air before he decides to fire that thing at the city," Blaine stated.

The nine spies all took off into the sky to face off with the Eclipse Cannon, and they all saw Macker standing at the base of the machine.

"I must ask, spies, how do you like my brand new Eclipse Cannon?" Macker proclaimed. "Obviously, without its original power source, it can't destroy cities in one big blast, but it does have more than enough power to destroy meddlesome spies."

"I'd say that you're not following rules for villains number thirty-six," Dawn retorted. "And that means we're gonna crack that thing open like so many bad eggs!"

In response, the Eclipse Cannon activated and aimed for the spies.

"You're more than welcome to try," Macker cackled as the Eclipse Cannon began to fire laser blasts from its multiple barrels, forcing all nine spies to start dashing around to avoid each shot.

During a break in the barrage of lasers, Sortiliena started searching the Eclipse Cannon for a suitable weak spot they could exploit.

After weaving through another volley, Sortiliena eventually noticed that the connecting joint between the laser barrels and the rest of the cannon wasn't as heavily armored.

That'll do just fine, Sortiliena thought.

"That's right, cowards, flee!" Macker laughed. "Flee like the worms you are!"

"Hey, if anything, I'm more like a cool bird," Sortiliena chuckled as she flew closer to the Eclipse Cannon and slashed at the weak spot with a Platinum Credit Card, happy to see damage registered on the machine. "You know, the ones that eat worms like you."

"Liena found the weak point!" Britney exclaimed.

"Then let's go to town, shall we?" Dawn responded, firing an Electromagnetic Curling Iron into the Eclipse Cannon.

"Sorry to say that the only place you'll be going is hell!" Macker laughed as the Eclipse Cannon unfurled a pair of extra weapons from the side of the barrel, said weapons firing spheres of energy towards the spies.

Remembering one of their battles against a similar weapons device from a long time ago, Sam placed herself in the path of one of the energy spheres and wrapped herself in a Cashmere Deflector Shield, pleased to see the sphere that "hit" her get reflected right back into the Eclipse Cannon.

"You're not pulling that wool over my head," Sam quipped.

"Nice one, Sammy," Mat laughed.

Suddenly, the Eclipse Cannon jerked in Mat's direction and fired a trio of energy spheres towards him.

"How about no?!" Melissa exclaimed, flying in front of Mat and activating her Helicopter Hand Fan, the spinning blades deflecting all three energy spheres.

For good measure, Melissa deactivated the Helicopter Hand Fan before flying closer to the Eclipse Cannon and reactivating it, the fan blades battering at the Eclipse Cannon's barrel.

"How's that for your stupid face?!" Melissa taunted.

While Macker was distracted by Melissa's taunts, Britney moved in and threw a pair of Incendiary Earrings into the crack in the hull plating that Sortiliena had made earlier, the explosions rocking the Eclipse Cannon and the platform it was floating on and causing Macker to grip the side of the machine tightly to avoid getting blown off.

"Looks like we're not headed for hell anytime soon, loser," Clover taunted as she threw a pair of Boomerang Buzzsaw Barrettes towards the Eclipse Cannon.

"Oh, don't think you've won yet!" Macker shouted as he regained his balance and typed something into the control panel, which made the Eclipse Cannon unfurl a bunch more weapons from the sides of the barrel.

"Oh, now you're just being a bitch," Blaine growled.

"Better a bitch than dead, which is what you'll be very soon!" Macker laughed as the Eclipse Cannon prepared to fire its new weapons.

To be continued...


Next time...

Haruka: He's gotta be around here somewhere.

May: I sincerely hope he's not leading us on some kind of wild goose chase. He's gonna get another lump from anchor if he is...

Alex: ...everything okay, Nick?

Nick: Something about this place... I can't quite put my finger on it, but it feels very familiar.

Haruka: Wait, is this...?

Nozomi: Wait, then what is Genesis doing here, of all places?

Alex: I honestly don't want to know, but let's head inside before he tries anything underhanded.

Genesis: Ah, I see you're enjoying reliving the old memories.

Nick: Is there any particular reason that you brought us here, Genesis? Because I have a sinking suspicion that it wasn't just "for old times' sake".

Nozomi: I guess we'll have to finish this trip down memory lane next time on the final act of Totally Spies: A Clone of My Own, "Descent Into Madness"!

Alex: I really like how they actually listened to Nick when he gave them ideas for this set.

Nick: Hey, I figured it'd work out for this one.
