On Today's Episode: The spies get to the ice hockey pavilion only to be drawn into a game of ice hockey with the odds seemingly stacked against them. Even with Henya to help them turn the tides, Coach and Stacy have more than just games up their sleeves, especially when it comes to their secret hideout. Can the spies triumph in these ghastly games, and can they find a way to return the stolen skills of their friends?
Act 2: Skill Over Luck
3:22 P.M. – Beverly Hills Ice Pavilion
"You are one lucky girl, Henya, having survived everything you've been put through," Sortiliena quipped once the spies had finished explaining Henya's story.
"Honestly, I'm surprised I tolerated that nonsense for as long as I did," Henya admitted. "I'm just worried about the rest of my friends..."
"Don't worry about that," Sam replied. "We promised you that once you're ready to 'storm the castle', we're coming with you to teach these punks a lesson."
"And speaking of teaching punks a lesson," Nick responded, glancing up at the Ice Pavilion that they'd just arrived at. "Our scoundrels didn't scram, did they, RiCO?"
"Nope, it looks like they're still in there," RiCO answered. "But I'd stay on your guard just in case they try to rope you into something wacky."
The spies all slowly made their way into the pavilion, searching around for any sign of their baddies. Their search took them onto a hockey rink...
...and then, the lights above the rink shut off for a few seconds, only to turn back on and reveal that Coach and Stacy were sitting in a chair just outside the rink.
"Welcome to our little arena, spies," Coach laughed. "So nice of you to drop by."
"It kinda looks like you're missing a few members," Stacy taunted.
"That's really none of your business, is it?" Mat retorted.
Suddenly, a bunch of mooks pushed Alex, Britney and Nozomi onto the rink, and the gates to the rink sealed the rest of the spies off.
"You wanna explain this, freak show?!" Melissa shouted.
"If you want your friends back, they're going to have beat our little hockey challenge," Coach proclaimed as three of their mooks moved onto the rink.
"And to make this extra interesting..." Stacy cackled, aiming her intelligence-draining device towards the three spies on the rink, only for Nick to shoot it out of her hands with a flurry of psychic bolts, Henya conjuring a small anti-gravity field with her Wondercube to catch it and bring it their way.
"Yeah, I don't think so," Nick taunted. "You're not taking anything else from us."
Nick dashed out of the pavilion for a brief moment to encase the device in a small psychic bubble before sending it to W.O.O.H.P. with a flick of his wrist, so Jerry and RiCO could hopefully figure out a way to make it return the skills that had been drained.
When Nick made it back inside, the impromptu hockey game had begun in earnest, with Henya standing guard to make sure Coach didn't try anything sneaky.
"Now I'm getting a flashback to the first mission with Lady Dragon," Alex groaned.
She vividly remembered when she was trapped in Lady Dragon's game, and one of the games she was in was hockey-based.
You can be a big help to us, Henya, Nick stated in thought to Henya.
She looked a bit confused at how Nick was able to communicate with her this way, until she remembered that Nick was using his psychic powers.
Okay, what's that? Henya asked in thought to Nick. Attack them if they try anything?
That'd be a good start, Nick replied to Henya.
Good start? Henya wondered.
Basically, keep an eye out for anything suspicious, Nick answered. If they try to cheat...
Put them in their place, I gotcha, Henya replied.
"HA! I GOTCHA!" Nozomi shouted.
She fired a shot at the goal and clearly made it in; however, the Coach refused to count the goal when they were already down 2-0.
"What the hell's going on?!" Mat chastised from the sidelines.
"Consider this the curtain falling on you naughty old spies..." the Zanzibar Coach sneered.
Henya responded by raising her Wondercube and firing a blast from it that struck the scoreboard and changed it back to 2-1, as it should have been.
"HEY! WHAT GIVES, I THOUGHT YOU SAID THIS WAS FOOLPROOF?!" Stacy shouted at the Zanzibar Coach.
"IT WAS FOOLPROOF!" Coach retorted.
The goal that Nozomi had scored had been counted.
Alex, who had trouble trying to balance at first, scored another goal to tie things up; the goal was later counted thanks to Henya's actions.
"I... CAN'T... BELIEVE YOUR INCOMPETENCE!" Stacy shouted at the Coach.
Thinking she had to take matters into her own hands, Stacy used her aerosol can on the three spies that were out there.
"Sorry, Stacy... but not today!" Sam exclaimed as she fired a couple of shots from her Laser Lipstick.
Stacy saw the two shots, but it was too late, and she dropped her aerosol can.
"Not you meddlesome wretches again?!" Stacy chastised.
"I think it's time two particular spodes got a crash course in playing by the rules!" Blaine exclaimed.
Britney then scored a final goal to win the ice hockey game, 3-2.
"How do ya like them apples?!" Nick proclaimed.
"You little punks are going to pay for that!" Coach shouted as he barged onto the hockey rink and charged towards Alex, only for Nozomi to barrel her way forward and drop-kick Coach backwards, making him slide across the ice.
"Get up, you stupid little tool!" Stacy exclaimed as she attempted to assist Coach, only for Sam and Mat to plant themselves in front of her and knock her right into Coach with a double flying kick.
"Oh, screw this," Coach groaned as he picked up Stacy and retreated for the moment.
"Hopefully May, Bridget, and Haruka are doing good," Clover told the others when both the Coach and Stacy had retreated.
"One can hope with these two at the controls," Nick stated.
"Word..." Melissa groaned.
The spies backtracked to where the water polo game was taking place that May, Bridget, and Haruka were playing.
4:09 P.M. – Malibu University
Aquatic Complex
To the spies' relief, May, Haruka and Bridget had just walked out of the sports area by the time the spies had returned.
"Any updates on your game?" Britney asked.
"Thank goodness for alternates," Haruka chuckled.
"Some-freakin'-how, we managed to squeak out a victory," May quipped. "Those alternate guys were actually pretty good, all things considered."
"It was still a pretty close game, and it kinda got scary at the end," Bridget admitted. "Our coach was a little worried about our own performance, but she chalked it up to something that just happens every now and then."
"Yeah, even a superstar sport player can have an off day," Nick quipped. "That's just a thing that happens."
"I just hope we can get our skills back before the next game," Haruka sighed.
"I should be able to help you with that," RiCO answered from Nick's X-Powder. "While you three were busy with your game, Nick sent us Stacy's intelligence-draining thingy so we could study it and figure out how to reverse its effects."
"Did you figure that out?" Alex asked.
"Do I always come through for you?" RiCO giggled. "Nick, just point your X-Powder at May, Haruka and Bridget, and I'll take care of the rest."
Nick raised his X-Powder towards May, Haruka and Bridget, and the screen unleashed a bright flash of light that swallowed them up for a couple seconds.
When the light subsided, Haruka did a swan dive forward, followed by a rising uppercut, mimicking a move she loved doing in her water polo matches. When she found she could do it perfectly, she smiled brightly.
May did a similar move, only with a jumping swing. "We are back in business, baby!" May laughed.
"And just in time, too," RiCO answered. "I'm tracking Stacy and the Coach right now, and it appears they're hiding out somewhere in the downtown aquarium!"
"That... kinda makes sense, honestly," Haruka chuckled.
"Well, then, let's go find 'em and make them swim with the fishes," Mat proclaimed.
The spies, with Sortiliena and Henya backing them up, headed back into the downtown area to search for the aquarium that Coach and Stacy were hiding out in.
While it didn't take long to find it, the spies initially didn't see anything out of the ordinary on the inside of the aquarium.
Henya, however, was already on the move, calling on her hide-and-seek experience that she'd used to evade the guards back at the Society, and eventually found a cabinet that was slightly askew near the employees' lounge.
Nick used his psychic hold to move the cabinet aside, quickly revealing a hidden door on the wall.
"Good eye, Henya," Nick quipped.
"I've done this kinda thing a lot before," Henya replied as the spies all opened the door and descended down the secret passage. "You wouldn't believe how many secret passages the Society had that they didn't think I knew about."
After a few more flights of stairs, the spies eventually opened up another door and found themselves inside Coach and Stacy's secret lair, an aquarium-like place mixed with the aesthetic of a science laboratory.
"That totally doesn't clash at all," Dawn chuckled.
"We'll shut it down eventually," Alex replied. "Let's just get moving and figure out what exactly they're scheming in here."
"Oh, by the way, nice to see you again, Sortiliena," May stated.
"I figured I'd tag in for you guys and help out while you were busy with your game," Sortiliena answered. "And I've got a feeling that we're not done with the games just yet."
"You'd be so right, you little punks," Coach taunted as he and Stacy made their presence known by emerging from the hallway just ahead.
And Coach looked much more buff than he had before, which could only mean that he'd used one of his bugs on himself.
"Oh, that's a sight I didn't want to see again," Nozomi groaned.
"And in case you're wondering, I'm only using two bugs," Coach chuckled. "I did learn not to overuse the bugs from the last time I tried that."
"And why does that not make me feel any better?" Bridget sighed before reaching for her brooch. "You know what, let's see if your new strength can actually catch me. Sonic Mode, online!"
Once Bridget had transformed, she immediately began running circles around Coach and Stacy, building up kinetic energy as she did so while dodging all of Coach's attempts to grab or strike her.
Eventually, Bridget skidded to a stop and snapped her fingers to unleash her gathered kinetic energy as a shockwave of emerald electricity that blasted both the Coach and Stacy backwards.
"Agh, if only I had time to make another draining device," Stacy groaned as she picked herself up.
"Wait, you didn't?!" Coach gasped. "Why in the hell didn't you follow rule twenty-four?!"
"Rule what?" Stacy retorted.
"Rules for villains, number twenty-four," Haruka stated. "If you created something that's necessary to your evil plan, always make backups just in case."
"Well, I still have my aerosol cans to make you forget stuff," Stacy chuckled as she brought out one of said cans, only for it to be knocked far away by a blast from Henya's Wondercube.
"Yeah, sorry, that's not happening again," Henya taunted.
"All right, you two, we've got some extra beef with you two, so I'd get ready to take your lumps if I were you," May proclaimed, using her Emergency Gadget Transporter to summon her anchor to her hands as the spies advanced on Stacy and Coach.
"You didn't tell me one of them has an ANCHOR!" Stacy shouted at the Coach.
"It shouldn't matter!" The Zanzibar Coach retorted.
May immediately hurled her anchor at them and it was a direct hit.
"And that's just for starters for trying to rob us of our water polo skills!" May exclaimed.
"I don't know how you get that strength, but I'm thinking you're way useful on my team for the Shotput event," Coach commented to May.
"Sorry, but that's not happening after the numerous wrong turns you took with your own team..." May remarked. "And I happen to like the Mali-U Water Polo team, thank you very much, and there's no doubt that I'm coming back next season!"
"That goes for me," Bridget added.
"And me!" Haruka finished.
"You of all people should know that cheaters don't win, nor get ahead," Nick added.
"Like right now!" Blaine exclaimed as he lunged forward to leg sweep Coach off of his feet, then grabbed him by the ankles, spun him around for a few seconds, and then tossed him into Stacy, knocking them both over.
"That was for brainwashing me," Blaine taunted.
"That was excellent thinking, Blaine!" Nozomi commended.
"If it makes things easy for me, I'm not complaining," May stated as she recovered her anchor.
"Let's make things extra easy, May," Nick added as he used his psychic powers on May's anchor.
May then hurled her anchor at all of Stacy's spray cans and destroyed them.
"OH NO!" Stacy gasped. "MY AMMO'S GONE IN AN INSTANT!"
"And you're doubly screwed, too when you consider the things you tried to put us through," Alex remarked.
"Let's make 'em dance!" Sam emphasized, getting out her Laser Lipstick.
Clover, Britney, and Alex liked the sound of that and joined Sam in that regard.
Before long, the two villains were "dancing" to a different beat via the Laser Lipsticks.
"Just what we needed," Bridget quipped. "Let's tag-team, Haruka!"
"You bet!" Haruka exclaimed as Bridget ran towards her, taking her hand so they could rush towards Stacy.
"How about you slow down for once in your life?" Stacy taunted, only for Bridget to swing Haruka around and into Stacy, sending her flying backwards with a double-footed kick to the chest.
Bridget skidded to a stop and tossed Haruka into Coach, knocking him for a loop as well.
"Still got the moves!" Haruka laughed as she high-fived Bridget.
"And if you think Jeremy McGrath 'cheated' his way to four Supercross titles in a row, you're more wretched than I thought," Mat added.
"Natural ability does that to you," Melissa quipped, knowing she'd heard these things from Mat as well.
"Luckily, I always come prepared..." Coach sneered as he and Stacy shared a look.
"So, you better enjoy your talents and your smarts while you can... ALL OF YOU!" Stacy sneered as well. "Because we're taking ALL of your talents AND YOUR INTELLECT!"
"We have no intentions of giving them up to the likes of you..." Clover remarked.
"And how about we put a big ol' period on that?" Bridget chuckled as she ran towards Nick, her intent obvious.
"Oh, I'm all for that," Nick responded as he extended his hand so that Bridget could take it, the two of them dashing towards Coach and Stacy. "Let's give these sports failures a taste of the Purple Comet Attack!"
"Wait, what do you mean by..." was all Stacy had time to get out as Nick and Bridget bum-rushed Stacy, using their boosted speed to send her and Coach into the air with their joined arms, causing them to fly into the air flipping.
Nick and Bridget let go of each other so they could go on the offensive, Nick landing a lifting flying kick to send Coach higher into the air, while Bridget leapfrogged off of Nick's shoulders and snap-kicked Stacy back down to the ground.
Before Coach and Stacy could even bounce, Nick and Bridget were on them again, lashing out to hit them from either side with multiple super-fast strikes before sending them back into the air with dual flying kicks.
"Ready, Nick?" Bridget exclaimed.
"Let's stomp 'em!" Nick shouted.
With that, Nick and Bridget charged, attacking Coach and Stacy nonstop from multiple angles, making it look like the villains were being pinballed around in the air.
For the finale, Nick and Bridget both attacked Coach and Stacy in perfect sync, resembling a much faster version of Nick and Haruka's Accel Dance maneuver, before charging through both baddies and sending them careening into the ground.
"And that's the way your cookie crumbles," Bridget chuckled as she and Nick high-fived each other.
"Never gets old," Nick quipped.
"Now are you two gonna come quietly?" May warned.
"What do you think?" Coach retorted.
"Eh, it was worth a shot," May quipped as she threw her anchor into Coach again, Nick telekinetically guiding it around to score a few more hits before he sent it flying into Stacy as well.
"Man, am I lucky I decided to listen to you and put on that body armor when we got back here," Stacy groaned. "That really freakin' hurt!"
"And unless you want some more, step off," May retorted, spinning her anchor around in her hands to emphasize her threat. "We're not goin' easy on you just because you're new to our rogues' gallery, Stacy."
Coach and Stacy glanced at each other a couple times before wisely deciding to retreat, as Coach's bugs had worn off during the fight.
"Yeah, I thought so," May quipped.
"We'd better follow them," Alex stated. "I have a feeling we're not done with their nonsense yet."
As the entire group continued to make their way down the hallway that Coach and Stacy had retreated down, Henya's Wondercube suddenly started beeping rhythmically.
"Is your cube working properly?" Sam wondered.
"Someone's calling me," Henya replied, tapping her Wondercube to project a holographic screen of the person who was calling her. Namely, the girl on the holo-screen had bright purple hair in a ponytail in a black ribbon with magenta highlights and blue streaks, a bright light blue eyes, triangle-shaped metallic blue hairpins and a short black bandage on her nose.
"Hey, did I finally get through?" the girl on the screen asked.
"M-Melody?!" Henya gasped when she recognized her caller. "How the heck did you get a call through?! I thought that..."
"You can thank Froot and Vei for that," Melody answered. "They're being all super-stealthy and disrupting the Prime Field generators."
"They figure that stuff out quickly, you know," Henya responded.
"That's why I'm making this a quick call just to make sure you're doing all right," Melody replied. "Let all of us handle the problem over here."
"W-wait, what do you mean by 'problem'?" Henya asked before gasping when it clicked. "Hold on, did you..."
"You're not the only smartie-pants over here, Henya," Melody chuckled. "I had my own suspicions, do I did a little hacking of my own. Froot and Vei are messing with the Prime Field generators as we speak. Just... promise you'll come back soon, 'kay?"
"I'll be back before you know it, Melody," Henya stated proudly.
"Just remember, we might be in a full-on revolt by the time you make it back, so when you and what I assume are your friends get over here... just stay on your toes, 'kay?" Melody chuckled.
"Same to you, Melody," Henya giggled as the holo-call ended.
"I would guess that was one of your friends?" Melissa asked.
"Yeah, Melody was the first friend I made when I was taken to the Society," Henya explained. "Her special talent is that, like me, she's very smart, especially when it comes to computers. When it comes to cracking codes and hacking what needs to be hacked, I think only RiCO would be a challenge for her."
"That's pretty high praise of my own skills, Henya," RiCO giggled from Nick's X-Powder.
"She said something about a 'Prime Field' generator," May wondered.
"It's sort of a disruptive field that typically blocks all forms of outside communication," Henya answered. "One is set up around the Society so we can't contact the outside world. But it seems like Melody might have found a way to disrupt that field, even if just for a little bit."
As Henya continued to explain things, Nick sensed intrusive thoughts nearby and raised his hand to telekinetically grab a prop fishbowl from a nearby wall and fling it directly into the path of Coach and Stacy as they attempted to ambush the spies.
"Sneak attacks tend not to work against a psychic when you're doing it the old-fashioned way," Nick taunted. "Keep trying, maybe?"
"Ooh, you're gonna regret getting in our way, you little punks," Stacy growled as she attempted to bum-rush the spies, only for Sortiliena to place herself in front of the group and do a handstand spin kick like Nozomi liked to do, whacking Stacy in the face a few times to send her stumbling backwards.
"Sorry, but your amateur moves aren't gonna work against a seasoned combat instructor like me," Sortiliena chuckled. "Food for thought."
"All right, everyone, let's dogpile!" Alex shouted as the spies advanced.
Stacy and the Coach were overwhelmed by the spies dogpiling on them.
"I don't recognize your extra assistant, but she won't matter at all in the long run..." Stacy groaned.
"You shouldn't undermine Sortiliena, after all..." Mat warned.
"Totally!" Alex exclaimed, keeping to herself how she thought Sortiliena was a "traitor" beforehand.
"Want me to demonstrate?" Sortiliena chuckled, not waiting for an answer as she lunged forward to attack. Coach tried to meet her with a shoulder tackle, but Sortiliena easily sidestepped the tackle so that Coach flew by her.
Sortiliena then reached out to grab Coach by the wrist and easily toss him into Stacy.
"Told ya so," Sortiliena taunted.
The Coach was overwhelmed at Sortiliena's attack.
"Where'd you learn those? I'm taking you for the fencing team..." Coach remarked.
"Sorry, but I'm not on the market for someone like you," Sortiliena emphasized.
"Oh... I have my ways to make you say 'yes'," Coach sneered.
"You heard the lady," Nick stated. "And when a lady says 'no', she MEANS IT!"
He then fired not one, but two psychic shots back-to-back at the Coach and at Stacy for that matter.
"You'd think someone like you would know that better than anyone," Haruka stated, and eyed Stacy.
"The Joe Gibbs Yamaha team believed in Josh Grant this season," Mat added. "But not for your same reasons."
Sam, Clover, and Alex could see Mat's logic with Jerry seeing something in them as spies – granted it WAS against their wishes, in a sense. They'd gone from not wanting to be part of WOOHP in the first place to being promoted to Super Spies. Sam and Alex finding boyfriends (and later fiancées) was also an added bonus in a way; same went for Clover finding Blaine.
"And don't think for two seconds that we're joining any of your crappy sports followings either," Alex added with an emphatic leg sweep on both villains.
"Nor are you getting our intellects at all!" Sam added.
"On the contrary, we WILL get your smarts... one way or the other," Stacy sneered.
The Coach snapped his fingers and a big army of his mooks came out of who-knew-where to surround the thirteen spies. A couple of the mooks even helped them up, too. The mooks even scowled as they went after the spies.
"This is gonna be pretty hairy, guys," Bridget remarked.
"'Hairy' is a long way from where you spies are going to be..." the Coach sneered.
Mat happened to find an opening between two mooks and kicked them to the ground from behind.
"We're too good for that," Mat quipped at them.
"We'll see about that! It's time to execute plan B before the trump card..." Coach sneered at Stacy.
"My sentiments exactly," Stacy remarked.
Their plan was to have the mooks distract them enough so they could spray their ammo at the spies to take away their talents AND intellects.
Nick simply raised a psychic bubble around the group to protect them.
"You can't hide in there forever, you know!" Stacy laughed.
"Your mistake for thinking I was hiding," Nick chuckled as he snapped his fingers to pop the bubble, the outward recoil blast sending all the mooks flying in different directions.
This gave the rest of the spies a prime opportunity to blast the aerosol cans with their projectile gadgets.
While the spies were distracted just enough, Stacy and the Coach executed going after May first. By the time May saw it, there was only a moment or two to react.
Henya reacted without thinking, aiming her Wondercube towards May and opening up a hyperdimensional pocket behind her as she tried to step back. May fell into the portal before Coach could catch her, and Henya quickly closed it up before opening another pocket behind Coach and Stacy.
Naturally, while Coach and Stacy were busy trying to find where May had gone, May jumped out of the pocket, her anchor aimed directly for them.
("Last Strike" by Lyn Inaizumi plays)
"SURPRISE, ASSHOLES!" May shouted, Coach and Stacy only having time to turn around as May swung her anchor hard enough to send both villains flying backwards.
"H-How did you do that?!" Stacy gasped.
"You can thank my awesome Wondercube to thank for that," Henya chuckled. "And before you ask, no, you can't have it."
"Oh, I wasn't asking!" Coach cackled as he charged to attack Henya, only for Sam and Mat to step in and double-kick Coach right back.
"Hands off," Mat taunted.
Coach stepped back and pointed towards Sam and Mat, and a trio of mooks burst from the shadows to try and snatch them up. Nick rectified that by slamming his palm into the ground and using Zero Gravity to send the mooks floating helplessly into the air.
"When someone says no, you listen," Nick proclaimed.
Stacy maneuvered around Coach in order to hopefully catch the spies by surprise, but she quickly found herself in the crosshairs of both Haruka and Bridget.
"And just where do you think you're going?" Haruka stated.
"Um... somewhere that's not here?" Stacy asked.
"Yeah, wrong answer," Bridget quipped. "Sonic Mode, online!"
Bridget sped forward and started running circles around Stacy to keep her from escaping, and while she did that, Haruka flew into the air and fired a Cyclone Blast Hairdryer shot straight downwards to send Stacy to the floor.
Eventually, Bridget stopped running and snapped her fingers to expel her gathered kinetic energy in a shockwave that threw Stacy into a nearby wall.
"Man, I really wish I'd made another draining device," Stacy quipped.
"I told you!" Coach reprimanded as he continued to dodge attacks from both Henya and Sortiliena. "This is why you make backups of the crap you need!"
Henya ducked underneath a swing from Coach and knocked him away with a set of booming sound waves from her Wondercube, waves that she'd absorbed in the previous caper.
"Really should have listened to your own advice, you know," Henya chuckled.
Coach simply sprung back to his feet and jumped forward to actually grab Henya's Wondercube in his hands.
"Try me now, little fashion reject," Coach laughed.
Henya simply smirked as the Wondercube started glowing, becoming hot enough to force Coach to relinquish his grip on it and allowing Henya to blast him back with a giant glowing cube.
Bridget continued to speed around the area to keep Stacy from getting away while Sortiliena countered any attack she tried to pull off.
"This is getting ridiculous!" Stacy exclaimed.
"Then maybe stop trying to run?" Haruka laughed.
"So help me, you'll learn your place!" Stacy growled as she whipped out a laser pistol and started firing shots from it to keep the spies on their feet.
Alex brought out a Sonic Disintegrator Boombox and activated it to blast Coach away from her, and though he just kept coming back for more, Nick tagged in to send Coach flying backwards with a Final Shine Attack.
"Why are you being so ungodly stubborn today?" Nick wondered. "I know that a lot of our rogues' gallery are stubborn and refuse to give in until I've literally caught them in a bubble, so to say, but what's your excuse?"
"I don't have to explain jack to you, you stupid little glowstick!" Coach bellowed as he jumped into the air and attempted to pounce on Nick from the air, only to be tossed away in the process.
"...okay, I'll admit that's a unique insult," Nick chuckled. "Color me impressed, honestly."
Before too long, both Coach and Stacy were backed into a corner, with the spies all advancing on them to put an end to this battle, when a device strapped to Coach's wrist started beeping.
"Well, would you look at that," Coach laughed. "Our secret weapon is officially ready to go."
"We'll let you off easy for now," Stacy taunted. "But when next we meet, which will obviously be very soon, you're gonna wish you just gave in to our demands."
With that having been said, Coach and Stacy made their escape through a secret tunnel on the nearby wall.
"...you know, why am I not surprised they pulled a freakin' Mega Man 4 on us?" Britney sighed.
"Hey, this means we've got 'em on the ropes," Sortiliena quipped. "I say we follow them and trash whatever they've got up their non-existent sleeves."
"I was hoping you'd say that, Sortiliena," Sam proclaimed. "Let's go, everyone!"
With RiCO showing the way forward, the spies all headed down the nearby hallway in pursuit of Coach and Stacy, hoping to stop whatever their trump card was before it was too late.
To be concluded...
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Next time...
Bridget: All right, you washouts, there's nowhere left for you to run!
Alex: And that's coming from someone who can really run.
Coach: Oh, who says we're running, you little brats?
Stacy: On the contrary, we're only just getting started! Your talent is going to be ours, no matter what you think!
Blaine: Hey, did anyone ever tell you that guys don't like it when ladies are too pushy?
May: Ooh, nice one, Blaine. Look at how steamed she's getting!
Stacy: All right, that's it! You've insulted us for the last time!
Coach: I hope you're all ready, because you've got a pressing engagement with hell!
Melissa: Okay, what the heck is that thing supposed to be?!
Sortiliena: Hey, we've taken down stranger trump cards before, so this one oughta be no different, next time on the final act of Totally Spies: Water Polo Washouts, "Muscle Memory"!
Henya: Okay, you guys have an amazing props department, because holy crapbaskets.
Nick: Yeah, the current prop director wants to be as practical as possible with a lot of these final bosses lately. I just hope he doesn't overwork himself creating some of these things...
