Coming Up Next: The spies continue searching the city for more circus tents to save the missing animals from Siren Island, all the while dealing with Charleston and Ringmaster's demented hybrid creations. Eventually, they do manage to corner the villains in their lair, only to find even more demented experiments there. Are Charleston and Ringmaster really that obsessed, and can the spies keep Siren away from their wicked grip?
Act 2: Now It's a Water Ride
4:53 P.M. – Beverly Hills
"Is there any sign of a circus tent?" Nozomi asked as the spies headed downtown.
"If there's a tent, I don't see anything yet..." Blaine sighed as the spies continued to look high and low.
"Wait, I think I see something down there in the park," Sam pointed out.
Indeed, the Ringmaster and Charleston had set up their circus, and people were flocking there like they were looking for a freshly cooked meal.
"This kinda thing cannot be compliant with city laws!" Haruka exclaimed. "Just saying..."
"It's a good thing this isn't a sidewalk attraction because I wouldn't see those back home," Mat commented.
"Well, then let's get in there and trash the place!" Siren proclaimed.
"I like the way you think, Siren," Nick quipped.
"Likewise!" Dawn added.
The spies made their way into the new circus location.
"All right, you clucks, where are you hiding?!" Alex called out.
Despite Alex's boast, not a soul approached them.
"...did they hit the bricks while we were on our way?" Clover wondered.
"No, something's here," Nick insisted. "I'm just trying to figure out what."
"You think it might be more of those hybrids they're trying to make?" Mat asked.
"Well, I guess there's only one way to be sure," Melissa sighed.
The spies continued to look, eventually coming across what appeared to be more of Charleston's hybrids at first glance.
But when they got closer, the figures in question actually looked like a bunch of weirdoes in white robes.
"Okay, that's not what I was expecting, really," Haruka admitted.
"Either they got some new mooks while we were gone, or we might have another problem to deal with," Nozomi stated.
However, Michi suddenly gasped in shock, since she easily recognized these figures now.
"Wait, what's the matter, Michi?" Sam asked.
"...you remember that I escaped from a bunch of weirdoes in white robes?" Michi responded. "Well... that's them!"
"Hold on, you mean they're working with Charleston and Ringmaster?!" Alex gasped.
"I highly doubt that, from the way they're looking at us," Mat quipped. "It looks like they've got their own agenda, and I have a feeling it involves Michi."
"Oh, you have no idea how right you are," one of the figures sneered. "You see, we have big plans, and we require the use of that little puppet that found her way to you."
"...I'm sorry, what exactly did you call Michi?" Nick retorted.
"Oh, so the puppet has given herself a name, has she?" another goon quipped. "Well, that's too bad, because you are required for our great plan. You were never supposed to have personhood in the first place, simply meant to be a vessel for our ideals."
"And now, we take back what is rightfully ours," a third goon cackled. "The Collective cannot be stopped."
The first Collective goon raised his hand and fired a large burst of eerie green light towards Alex. Nick quickly projected a psychic barrier to deflect the blast back at the Collective goons.
"You might not know us, so I'll warn you just this once," Nick proclaimed. "Messing with my friends and family is something you only do around us at your own peril."
"It doesn't matter how skilled you are, boy, because once we've fulfilled our grand purpose, none of you will ever be a problem," one Collective goon laughed.
"Oh, wonderful, you're starting to remind me of those Society jerks that harassed poor Henya to no end, and I am not having any of that," Bridget retorted. "So let's see how ya like some velocity! Sonic Mode, online!"
The Collective goons attempted to blast Bridget all at once, but she had already transformed and sped away, running circles around the goons to confuse them.
"Stay close together, my brethren," the Collective goons' leader proclaimed, and the goons all huddled up, not noticing Michi's mischievous grin.
"Oh, that was your mistake," Michi laughed as she aimed her hand towards the goons. A circular portal of green light opened up on the floor right underneath the goons, causing all of them to start sinking into it like they were trapped in quicksand.
"Cursed little puppet," one Collective goon growled. "This will not be the end. We will haunt you no matter what, and then we'll..."
"Oh, just shut your yaps already," Michi retorted, clenching her fist to close the portal and send the Collective goons somewhere far away.
"Nice job, Michi," Alex giggled. "Way to think with portals, eh?"
"They called themselves the Collective, right?" Nozomi noted. "They're definitely reminding me of the Society. I sincerely hope they're not alike..."
"Whatever the case, I think we sent them running for now thanks to Michi," Sam stated, to which Michi giggled. "Let's keep chasing after those other problems, shall we?"
"Or we could just come to you," Charleston chuckled as he and Ringmaster made their presence known to the spies. "How fortuitous that you'd show yourselves and come to our show."
"Yeah, well, we're not here for the popcorn and the drinks," Britney retorted. "Your popcorn's probably stale as heck anyways."
"And considering you've managed to find your way to us regardless, we can finally get this show on the road," Charleston quipped. "My dear Alex, why don't you just come back to me like you're obviously meant to? We could do so many wonderful things together, you know."
Before Alex could let out her disgusted response, Nick did the honors for her, blasting Charleston back into Ringmaster with a Final Shine Attack.
"Now you're starting to sound like how Scam acts towards Sam, and that's about all I can stand of this," Nick growled. "I hope you're ready to feel some pain!"
"And what, pray tell, could you do that we haven't already seen?" Ringmaster taunted as he picked himself up, only to immediately get floored again by way of May tossing her anchor into him.
"We could do something like that," May laughed. "Apparently, stubborn jerkoffs like you could use a taste of the almighty anchor."
"Now are you gonna come quietly, or do we have to mess you up some more?" Blaine proclaimed.
"Sorry, but we do have other things that we need to be doing right now, so we'll leave you some of our animal friends to play with," Charleston retorted.
"Ta-ta for now, spies," Ringmaster laughed as both villains retreated and a bunch of eagle hybrids burst in to attack the spies.
"Oh, wonderful, like we don't have enough to deal with right now," Alex groaned.
"We can still take 'em!" Nozomi responded, preparing to go on the offensive as the eagle hybrids charged the spies down.
"I think it's time we go 'Duck Hunt' on these birds again!" Mat quipped.
"My thoughts exactly," Nick remarked, liking the sound of that.
"Nothing like a little ammo in our corner," Haruka added and pulled out her Laser Lipstick.
"Time for some Duck Hunt again, then," Blaine remarked as everybody else jumped on that bandwagon.
With that, the spies all fired their Laser Lipsticks in every direction possible.
"Maybe we'll get an easy win after all..." Bridget commented.
Some more eagle hybrids came out of hiding, but the spies were ready for them.
"No way we can keep this up forever..." Dawn pointed out.
The spies kept up with the shooting of the eagle hybrids.
"I don't know where they keep coming from..." Clover chastised.
Nick used his radar to ping where all these eagle hybrids were coming from.
"I think this is one time where I wonder if Jerry packed a lot of wallop in our Laser Lipsticks," Melissa commented.
"He likely did," Alex presumed.
"I can see where the source of all these hybrids are coming from!" Nick exclaimed.
"Where?" May asked.
"I see a cannon at about 9 o'clock," Nick answered.
"Hang on then," Sam stated. "I'll destroy it!"
Sam leaned over and shot another of her shots from her Laser Lipstick at the cannon; unfortunately, the damage it left was minimal at best.
"What's going on?!" Sam chastised.
More eagle hybrids came shooting out, but they came out at a faster speed.
"I think the cannons are gonna require a little more than just our Laser Lipsticks this time," Nick quipped as he got a good look at the problem.
"Okay, then Sam, Melissa, and I can destroy it ourselves," Mat suggested.
"Works for me," Bridget commented.
"If one won't do, why not three at once, huh?" Sam chuckled as she, Mat and Melissa all fired their Laser Lipsticks (Laser Chapstick in Mat's case) at the cannon at once. Though it didn't destroy the cannon, it did do much more damage. Two more triple shots was finally enough to destroy the cannon and force the remaining eagle hybrids to fly away. Rei fired an ice beam to freeze the cannon's remains and then fired an exploding bubble to destroy that.
"Can never be too sure, right?" Rei chuckled.
"Tell me about it," May quipped.
"That did it!" Melissa quipped.
"We still have a ways to go, though," Sam reminded.
"Maybe I can shave some time off your quest," Michi suggested.
"We're listening," May replied.
"I think I finally figured out how my portal abilities work, given how I sent those Collective nuts packing," Michi answered. "I gave it some thought, and I believe I just have to picture the location in my mind as clearly as I can, and then I can open a portal to that place. I'm pretty sure it's how I made my way to all of you."
"You know, we've gotta introduce you to Henya the next time we see her," Nozomi quipped. "She's got similar portal abilities, and I just have this feeling you two would hit it off very well."
"So, then, where are we going?" Michi asked as she raised her hand.
"Let's try heading for their secret lair, because I'm pretty sure that's where they're headed now," Clover replied.
Michi stood there, thinking and trying to picture what that secret lair would look like. After a couple more seconds, a green portal burst to life in front of Michi.
"That should be our ride," Michi stated. "Let's get moseying, shall we?"
"I'm all for that," Alex noted. "Anything to put that dolphin-faced jerk in his place."
With that, everyone leaped into the portal.
6:13 P.M. – Charleston and Ringmaster's Secret Lair
"This looks like the right place," Sam quipped once everyone had jumped out the other side of Michi's portal into a large Sea World-like base full of underwater flora and fauna as well as glass tubes that contained the villains' 'experiments'. "Can you confirm that for us, RiCO?"
"Yup, you're at the right place," RiCO answered from Nick's X-Powder. "My superdrone is catching their signal in that place you all warped to."
"Looks like we've got a lot to bring down on their heads, huh?" Rei stated.
"How about we start exploring first and see if we can figure out what exactly those two lunkheads are planning?" Nick replied. "Then we can bring the place down on their heads."
"Deal," Rei chuckled.
"Yikes, this place looks freaky," Siren admitted. "There's so much clashing going on."
"Yeah, usually, our baddies don't really care much about interior decorating," May answered. "For them, if it works, it works."
"I feel like I'm going to barf seeing some of these 'experiments'," Alex groaned. "I mean, some of these look like a lobster had a fish fry with a hawk or a bear, and that's not a mental image I want in my head, thank you..."
"...these monsters," Siren growled as she got a good look at the experiments. "They're no better than Helga and Fox were. Honestly, I think these two are worse. Instead of creating a mutant army to defeat you all and rule the world, these two charlatans just want to run a freaky circus!"
"Yup, that's also a hallmark of our rogues' gallery," Haruka chuckled.
"Speaking of which, Siren, how are your parents doing?" Bridget wondered. "We haven't heard anything about them since the first time we met you."
"Oh, they're just taking a swimming trip around the world, ya know, to see the sights," Siren responded. "They know that I can take care of myself."
A loud roar caught the spies' attention, and they all prepared for a fight as something rounded the corner and started barreling towards them.
Much to their shock, it appeared to be a heavily muscled bear with hawk wings.
"Why can't I be wrong about something for once?" Alex groaned.
"That's not another hybrid, is it, Nick?" Dawn wondered.
"Nope, that's just a bear, wings aside," Nick answered after double-checking.
"Allow me," Siren quipped as she fired an ice beam at the floor, creating a sheet of ice on the floor that made the hawk bear slip and slide all over the place. Before it could crash into the opposite wall, though, it flapped its hawk wings and took off into the air.
Siren took a step back before running forward and jumping into Nick's arms so he could toss her into the air towards the hawk bear, where Siren whipped her lobster tail out to smack the hawk bear back down to the ground, where it lumbered away down the hallway it had come from.
The spies didn't have a chance to rest, though, as more mutants came charging in, these ones resembling wolves with eagle wings. And Nick could tell that these weren't hybrids, either.
As the eagle wolves surrounded the spies, Nick and Siren glanced at each other and smiled cheekily, knowing they were both thinking the same thing.
"Spin cycle?" Nick asked.
"Spin cycle," Siren answered.
As the eagle wolves prepared to lunge, Siren jumped forward, linking her hands with Nick's so he could start swinging her around. While she was being spun, Siren extended her lobster tail so that any eagle wolf that got close to them was sent flying backwards.
One eagle wolf tried to use its new wings to fly over Nick and Siren to catch them off guard from above, but Rei solved that problem by hitting it with an exploding bubble that sent it careening backwards.
All of the mutated wolves retreated down the hallway, and Rei blasted the doorway with an ice beam, freeing the door into a block of ice that would keep those mutants from hounding the spies.
"Well, that was fun," Siren giggled.
"I don't think we're done yet, though," Sam admitted. "I'm sure there's more waiting for us as we keep going."
"We'll be ready," May stated. "Always have been, right?"
"Couldn't have said it better myself," Nick chuckled as the group headed down the opposite hallway to keep searching for Charleston and Ringmaster.
The spies all felt the temperature of the hallway like an icebox; they were all surprised by that.
"What's with this temperature?" Mat wondered.
"More importantly, is Rei's ice block thick enough until everything's done?" Blaine added.
"I can assure you that my ice block isn't easy to break," Rei told the others confidently.
"Take it from me," Siren quipped.
"We believe you, then," Haruka told them.
The spies could hear the bangs from the eagle wolves on the ice block from a distance.
"Don't be alarmed," Siren told them. "I tried breaking Rei's ice block, and it took me at least fifty tries to break."
"And when someone like Siren says that, you know my ice blocks are hard to break," Rei remarked. "Hope you got the proof you wanted..."
"My vote is yes," Clover commented.
Everybody else was no different.
"Now, let's hope we find Charleston and the Ringmaster soon," Alex stated.
"We better be careful, though," Nozomi pointed out.
The spies could see the ground was a hybrid of ice and wood.
"Apparently, these two came prepared," Michi commented.
Alex still had some vivid, scarring memories of the dolphin academy where not only she was turned into a dolphin, she also had to deal with the student body berating and bullying her.
I don't need to worry about that crap, Alex thought.
"I think I can help with making the ground more suitable for us all," Michi told everyone.
"Your powers can change the surface?" May wondered.
"That's the vibe I'm getting, but I've never actually tried it," Michi admitted. "After all, I escaped that place before I really understood that I had cool powers like this. Now, let's see what I can do..."
Michi closed her eyes and spread her arms out, concentrating on what she wanted her powers to do and hoping this would work.
After about ten seconds of preparing, Michi opened her palms and unleashed a wave of neon green light around her that swiftly changed the ice-and-wood floor into a more traditional metal floor.
"I'm impressed!" Nick exclaimed.
"...okay, that's cool," Michi chuckled.
The spies continued to move forward, unaware that Charleston and the Ringmaster were watching them from a control room.
"Those spies are going to have a nightmare soon..." Charleston sneered.
The Ringmaster then activated a switch on a control panel.
"Not sure where they can be..." Melissa stated during their look.
Everybody kept moving forward until Mat tensed up.
"Did anybody hear something?" Mat asked everyone.
Everybody stopped and listened in.
"I hope I'm wrong, but it sounds like gushing water..." Britney remarked.
The spies tried to make a run for it, but the gushing water reached them in a matter of seconds.
"Oh, that's not good!" May shouted.
"Everyone, equip your UPWATIs, quickly!" Sam shouted.
The spies all did so, equipping their UPWATIs as the water engulfed them quickly. Thankfully, Rei and Siren could breathe just fine as they were underwater, having both been mutated from aquatic animals.
"Oh, crapbaskets, Michi!" Alex gasped, as Michi didn't have any gadgets to breathe underwater, and they didn't know if her powers could protect her from something like this.
Michi held her breath for a bit and clenched her fists, her whole body adopting a soft green glow. After that, she looked around and opened her mouth, and everything seemed fine.
"Wow, you've actually got a lot of cool powers, Michi," Nick quipped.
"And that actually worries me a bit," Michi admitted. "After all, if those Collective nuts created my current body and did whatever they did to me, I'm starting to wonder if they gave me these powers for a specific purpose..."
"Well, whatever they wanted, they're your powers, so you can use 'em against those freaks if you want," Nozomi noted.
"...yeah, that's very true," Michi giggled. "But on a side note, did those jerks seriously just try and flood this place just to get rid of us?!"
"I'm surprised that they didn't try something like that sooner, honestly," Rei admitted. "They sound like the kinds of villains who would do that just to be petty."
"Welcome to our life, basically," Clover stated.
"Let's keep swimming around and find a place where we don't have to stay all wet," Sam proclaimed.
With that in mind, the spies continued to swim around the flooded parts of the base to find some non-wet ground, occasionally stopping to deal with more aquatic mutants. Thankfully, Rei and Siren were much help, both of them able to move much more gracefully underwater than the spies could with their UPWATIs, as they took care of any threats that tried to stop them.
After about ten straight minutes of swimming, the spies reached a sealed-off part of the base.
"Well, nuts," Haruka groaned.
"Allow me," Michi chuckled, raising her hand to open a portal in front of them. The group all swam into it and came out on the opposite side of the sealed gate inside a room that was completely devoid of water.
"Whew, finally some rest," Britney sighed.
"Man, these weirdoes really thought of everything," Melissa admitted. "I'm starting to wonder what else they've got planned..."
A loud shout caught the spies by surprise, and they turned around to see Alex getting dragged down the nearby hallway by a squid-like creature.
"Oh, you can forget it!" Siren exclaimed, jumping towards the squid creature to whack it with her lobster tail and rattle it enough for it to let go of Alex.
Rei continued the counter-attack by firing a cluster of exploding bubbles that sent the squid creature reeling backwards.
"Oh, boy, there's more of them coming!" Dawn shouted as more squid creatures surrounded the spies.
Rei did a graceful ballet twirl and threw out a ring of exploding bubbles around her that burst all at once to knock the squids back.
"All right, my turn," Bridget proclaimed. "I've played enough Pokémon to know type weaknesses. Sonic Mode, online!"
Once she'd transformed, Bridget began running circles around the area to build up kinetic energy while the rest of the spies kept the squids at bay.
Siren continued to use her lobster tail as a weapon to smack squids away, only for one to jump over her and try to snatch Sam.
"Oh, no, we just saw that movie," Siren taunted as she jumped over to tail slap the squid away.
Once Bridget felt like she'd gathered enough kinetic energy, she skidded to a stop and everyone else jumped or flew into the air so Bridget could unleash her gathered energy as a massive kinetic shockwave that blew away the squids and forced them to retreat.
Once again, Rei sealed off that hallway by freezing it with an ice beam.
"Try and break that with your tiny little feelers," Rei chuckled.
Before the spies could get their bearings, though, another hatch on the ceiling opened up to allow more ocean water to gush in and flood the room. The spies quickly re-equipped their UPWATIs so they could swim through the area.
"All right, this is just getting ridiculous at this point," Melissa quipped. "How many times are they gonna try and drown us, especially when they know we have gadgets to combat that?"
Suddenly, Nick noticed something that scared him. Michi was completely unconscious, having been unable to prepare her powers in time, and was now being dragged away by a squid creature that had slipped by unnoticed.
"You get back here!" Nick shouted, aiming his right hand to fire a Final Shine Attack, only for the squid creature to instinctively move Michi's unconscious body in front of itself.
"Damn it all, they're getting smarter," Nozomi groaned.
"I'll take that bet, then," Siren quipped, swimming through the water at great speed so she could place herself behind the squid creature and tail whip it a couple times until it let go of Michi.
Rei then raised her hand to imprison the squid inside a bubble and send it flying away before firing another ice beam to seal that hallway so it couldn't try and ambush them again.
"Oh, jeez, is she okay?" Alex gasped.
"I think she's just unconscious," Sam answered after swimming closer to check it out. "She must have been ambushed before she could set up her 'breathing underwater' power. Regardless, we should find a dry spot quickly so we can get her back on her feet."
The spies all swam forward through the flooded tunnel until they found an area that wasn't full of water. Nick quickly shot out that canopy with a Final Shine Attack so they could get through and onto solid ground, then telekinetically ripped a sheet of metal from the opposite wall to seal off the hole.
The spies waited there for a few minutes until Michi finally woke up, coughing up a bit of water but otherwise unharmed.
"You okay there, Michi?" May asked.
"...little tiny bit waterlogged from that sneak attack, but I'm doing fine," Michi answered as Nick helped her back to her feet. "I swear, I'm gonna bop that stupid squid when I find him..."
"Rei and I kinda already did the bopping for ya, Michi," Siren giggled.
"Hey, we might not have known you for that long, Michi, but you're still our friend," Nick quipped. "And anyone who knows me knows that you mess with my friends at your own peril."
"Now I really want those two clucks to get out here so we can slap them around some for trying to drown us twice," Haruka growled.
"Well, if you insist, then we are happy to oblige."
("Wake Up Your Hero" by Lyn Inaizumi plays)
The spies all looked up the ceiling of this room to see Charleston and Ringmaster dropping from the ceiling, Ringmaster dressed in a much flashier circus outfit and carrying electric whips in all four of his arms.
"Oh, good, you came to us," Alex quipped. "That means we can commence with the butt-kickings."
"The only butts who are going to be kicked are yours," Ringmaster proclaimed as he charged towards the spies, wildly swing all four of his electric whips.
"Sorry, but we're not in the mood for that," Mat retorted as he brought out a Shock Ravager and cracked it out to counter each of Ringmaster's swings.
While this was happening, Charleston sprayed some water along the floor and started belly-sliding along it to move much faster towards Alex, only to crash headlong into a psychic barrier that Nick had projected.
"Um, dolphin boy, what, exactly, did I tell you about waving those greasy flippers anywhere near my fiancée?" Nick taunted.
"And what part of the fact that she's going to be mine and mine alone isn't getting drilled into your head, boy?" Charleston laughed as he slid around the barrier and once again tried to make a grab for Alex, only to get tail-slapped by Siren.
"Jeez, you sure are stubborn," Siren quipped. "Almost like a certain other pair of baddies I have the misfortune of knowing."
"Dance, my little lobster!" Ringmaster cackled as he started cracking his whips towards Siren, who ducked and weaved gracefully through each strike before jumping towards Ringmaster and tail-whipping him as well, which allowed Rei to blast the whips with an ice beam and completely freeze them.
May took this opportunity to wind up and toss her anchor like a javelin to knock Ringmaster to the ground, after which she recalled it to her hands via her EGT and tossed it at Charleston as well.
"Wow, you fight pretty well with that thing," Michi chuckled. "Isn't it heavy, though?"
"Not to me," May answered. "Let's just say that Johnny, my first crush, taught me how to use my upper body to its advantage."
As Ringmaster and Charleston regrouped, Michi suddenly thought of a devious idea.
"Hey, Nick? Can you fire that special move of yours into one of my portals?" Michi asked.
"Say no more, Michi," Nick answered, knowing exactly what Michi was thinking.
Michi raised her hand to open a portal to allow Nick to fire a Final Shine Attack into it, then Michi raised her other hand to open another portal behind the two villains, where the Final Shine Attack came streaking out to strike them both and send them tumbling towards the spies.
Alex took the opportunity to lash out and kick Charleston in the face, sending him skidding backwards.
"There's my exclamation point on your little 'proposition', buddy," Alex taunted. "I'm already spoken for, so you can just buzz off!"
"Why don't you just accept the fact that your relationship with him is doomed, Alex?" Charleston laughed.
Nick had finally had enough of Charleston's advances, and raised his hand to telekinetically rip one of the pipes out of the ceiling and drop it onto Charleston's head.
"When a lady says 'no', you listen, asshole," Nick growled.
Since she was still in her Sonic Mode outfit, Bridget was easily able to outspeed all of Ringmaster's attempts to hit her, though she still kept her distance in order to avoid the whips he had just unfurled.
After a few more dodges, Bridget changed course and rushed forward to clock Ringmaster in the chest with a right hook before he could react, the punch enhanced by her gathered kinetic energy enough to send Ringmaster careening back into the opposite wall.
"Yeah, this isn't exactly going well for you, is it?" Clover taunted.
"Why don't you just give it up and spare yourselves some pain?" Blaine proclaimed.
"Because, if you know us like you know the rest of your rogues' gallery, then you should know that we have not revealed our magnificent final act yet," Ringmaster retorted.
"I would try to avoid getting 'munched' if I were you," Charleston laughed. "And know that Alex will belong to me soon enough."
With that, Charleston and Ringmaster retreated through a secret tube in the ceiling, most likely to head outside and prime their secret weapon.
"...yikes, he's really starting to give off Tim Scam vibes," Sam noted. "And that's not something I really wanna deal with, considering we've already got a Scam-like creeper in our rogues' gallery..."
"Tell me about it," Alex shuddered. "Now I know how you feel, Sammy."
"Well, as long as I'm around, he won't lay even a fingertip on you, I can promise that," Nick responded, to which Alex hugged him. "Now, then, how about we follow their example and head outside so we can finish this nonsense?"
"Best idea I've heard all day," Dawn teased.
With that in mind, everybody re-equipped their UPWATIs, Michi prepared her own power once again, and Nick shot a hole in the ceiling so they could all swim out of the lair and back towards dry land, ready to stop whatever horror that Charleston and Ringmaster had waiting for them on the surface.
To be concluded...
Next time...
Sam: Everything looks fine from here.
Haruka: Do you think we beat them up here?
Bridget: Get ready, everyone, here they come!
May: ...what in the hell?!
Nick: Should I even be surprised at this point?
Ringmaster: Isn't it magnificent? Our magnificent machine will be the instrument of your doom!
Charleston: Just remember, you can do whatever you want with them, but keep Alex alive. She will be my queen once the rest of them are shark bait.
Rei: What part of 'no' don't you understand, you little freak?
Michi: I say we just dispense with the pleasantries and start tearing this thing apart.
Nick: Oh, now you're talking my language. Let's scrap this scuzzy shark, next time on the final act of Totally Spies: Marina Madness, "Lost in the Waves"!
Siren: Wow, this tail is so light. I barely even feel like I'm wearing it right now.
Sam: Gotta hand it once again to the prop department, huh?
Siren: Well, I probably wouldn't have needed a new prop tail is someone in that department hadn't left my old one out in that storm a year ago.
Nick: Ooh, mother nature was pissed that day.
