TTech
Make you a bet. If you can get through one week, I'll buy you that new cape myself. And if not, you buy it for me.
I want the matching knee-high boots.
[They shake hands and the bet is made.]
TTech
By the way; I'm a thirteen. Wide.
[Duck glares at him. After his orange triangle appears, the scene changes to the Loonatics gathered around for a briefing with Zadavia about Black Velvet.]
Zadavia
Gather 'round, Loonatics. We have a major crisis, besides Duck's new costume request. [to Tech] Begin the holographic imaging feed.
[Tech does so, and the screens show Black Velvet and her Shadowborgs' crimes.]
Zadavia
Moments ago, someone calling herself, "Black Velvet", stole the Acme Doppler Series Five Radar System.
TTech
That system directs all air and space traffic in and out of Acmetroplis.
So much for my weekend getaway to Acme Pulco.
Zadavia
I'm afraid it gets worse. They've also taken the Acme Super Computer.
TTech
That's the most advanced system on the planet. I should know, I built it for them.
Nahh. He's right; she's hot.
Keep your eyeballs in your head! (out of jealousy)
Zadavia
Attractive or not, she's bad to the bone, and you have to figure out what she's up to. Good luck, Loonatics. Zadavia out.
[Her hologram disappears.]
Alrighty, gang. Let's jet!
[Ace's yellow triangle appears, then the scene changes to the Loonatics heading to the scene of Black Velvet's attack.]
Umm, Ace? Aren't we going the wrong way? The spaceport is east.
Yeah, but we're going to where the action is. Check out the skyline, just like it was before the first attack.
TTech
That's right over the AcmeTech University.
See what happens when you rely on technology? Utter chaos! I am so going to win this bet!
Zadavia
Duck, pay attention!
Zadavia
I'm uploading security footage now.
Get us a closer shot of those raiders, Tech.
[Tech does so.]
TTech
Done. [sees Black Velvet] Hmm, most fascinating.
[They see how quite attractive and hot Black Velvet is, and the guys are seen admiring her attractiveness, which made Lexi jealous and resentful.]
TTech
[grunts] Aarrgh! That annoying phone!
I need a little help here, Tech!
TTech
Activating Night Vision.
BVBlack Velvet
Ha! Too little, too late! [She steps in front of the Shroud Caster's controls.] Darkness was my curse. Now, it will be yours, Loonatics.
[Zadavia's hologram appears.]
Zadavia
Good work, Loonatics.
You know, you're all despicable!
So, what were those things?
Reminds me of some of the guys who keep calling you - except the rocks have more personality! Haha! [gets Brain-Blasted by an annoyed Lexi] Yike! Watch the feathers!
Those rock guys are the security guards, which means we must be close to Dare's lair.
[Suddenly, they hear Dare's voice as the underground cave shakes all around them as more buildings come in upside down by sinking underground.]
[off-screen] You're not close. You're here. Just in time to see the power of the Jade Serpent turn Acmetropolis upside down!
[through his communicator to Tech] Tech, what's goin' on?
TTech
I told you he was a crack-bot! Let's get goin'!
[Green rays of light shine below them as the ground begins to crack and give away as Dare appears sitting on a rock throne.]
I hope you've enjoyed your little visit down here, because it's now your permanent residence! In fact, soon all of Acmetropolis will reside underground, and I will live in peace on the surface!
Are you kidding me, Doc?! That's the most ridiculous idea I've ever heard!
You won't be laughing when you're buried in stone, Bunny!
[With a grunt, he fires a green ray from his scepter at Ace and the Loonatics, causing the cave to collapse.]
[He and his teammates rush back into the Mobile Magma Mover as rocks come raining down.]
[He laughs maniacally as he escapes while the Mobile Magma Mover is buried along with the Loonatics inside a big pile of rocks. After a few moments, Slam bursts out of the rockpile using his tornado powers and clears away the rest of the rocks, freeing his teammates and the Magma Mover.]
We gotta get up to Acmetropolis before-
Zadavia
[hologram appears on the radar screen] Before there is no Acmetropolis. [takes off her hood] Dr. Dare's continuing to turn the world inside out. You must hurry. If you do not do something quickly, this madman will bury us all!
[The screen shows more buildings being sunk underground and replaced with mountains as people run for their lives. The screen then statics back.]
Let's get this Mover movin' before we lose power, too!
[Tech powers up the Magma Mover again to pursue Dare back up to Acmetropolis. They then reach the surface.]
Nice drivin', Tech! Looks like we're... [To his and everyone else's shock and horror, they see nothing but mountains and depressed people.] a little late.
Talk about an extreme makeover.
TTech
[sees the green glow from Dare's fortress] Dare's using the Jade Serpent to turn our world inside out. So, we've gotta use that gem to reverse it!
[The Loonatics drive their dirt buggies up to Dare's tower. Rev overtakes them with his super-speed and reaches the summit first.]
I couldn't've said it better myself!
Excuse me. Coming through.
[regenerates himself using Tech's powers while having heard everything Duck said, angrily] So, you're the one! I always suspected it might be you, but, how could I just come out and accuse you without any proof? [angrily points at Duck] Man, it's been bugging me for months! I don't know why I'm surprised, really. Duck, if I had to pick one teammate who would stoop so low-!
[glaring at Rev, annoyed] I liked you better when you were a smoldering husk.
Zadavia
Oh, I did forget one thing. Duck, we need to talk. Alone. Now.
[glares at Slam then looks back fearfully at Zadavia, groans meekly] Help.
[The final scene of the episode is a shot of the Loonatics' headquarters while zooming out to show the rest of Acmetropolis below the tower as the episode ends and the staff credits and the Warner Bros. Animation logo roll.]
[off-screen] They escaped on my watch. I'm doomed!
Eh, don't be so hard on yourself, Duck.
Ace is right, Duck. It's not really your fault, even though it was a major botch and you probably feel even worse because we all know it makes you look even less like the kind of leader that you wanna be.
Gee, Rev, have you ever heard of the phrase, "Who asked you"?
Ah, we'd better tell Zadavia.
[As if on cue, Zadavia's hologram appears.]
Zadavia
I already know.
Zadavia
How did they escape, Duck?
They were just, uh, kind of, uh, flushed into a hole and just went poof.
Zadavia
You must find them before the situation escalates. [becomes worried] I-I suspect...
Zadavia
I must go. I will contact you later.
[Her hologram disappears abruptly, leaving Ace suspicious of what she was going to say, but cut off quickly. The scene changes to Zadavia's home underwater, where we find Zadavia herself, in person, worried about her evil brother, Optimatus coming for her. She is revealed to have green eyes.]
Zadavia
I thought I was safe here. I've run out of time. I fear he's coming for me.
Cover me, Lex! Looks like the man of the hour is tryin' to duck out of his own party!
[He chases after Deuce in hot pursuit. Deuce throws shield discs at Ace, who dodges them as they explode and knock him on his stomach. Deuce reaches the hub of the Universal Portal.]
Universal Portal, I command you to open! NOW!!! [voice echoes]
[The Universal Portal opens up from his command using the scepter. He runs inside and uses the scepter to activate the portal. Ace flies towards him with his Guardian Strike Sword in his hand, preparing for battle.]
Guardian Strike Sword, attack! [Deuce turns to see him coming to confront him for the final showdown, and takes out his own sword and backs up to prepare for combat.] You wouldn't wanna leave before we had a chance to say "goodbye". [walks up towards him]
No. It's I who will be saying "goodbye" to you, rabbit, permanently!
[With a battle shout, he jumps forward at Ace and the two engage in a swordfight. The portal rotates as a green energy beam emerges from inside. Ace and Deuce swing their swords at each other and dodge by jumping out of one's way. They then clash their swords at the same time as a cyan lightning energy bolt comes from both their swords. An orange energy beam is seen from the portal as well.]
I see ya still have the ol' moves workin' for ya! [continues clashing against Deuce]
And a few new ones that you haven't seen! [punches Ace, sending him backwards. He looks at the portal control, then gets up.] Once I assemble a new army, I'll be back!
[smirks] Heh, I don't think so! Looks like you bought yourself a one-way ticket! [He clashes his sword at Deuce one more time, then fires his Laser Vision at him, sending him inside the portal. He then runs towards the controls to send General Deuce packing, once and for all.] Deuce, I've got you right where I want you. You are banished from Planet Blanc, forever! [His sword powers up.] I call upon my Guardian Strike Sword, NOW!!! [voice echoes]
[He slams his sword down, and the portal opens up, to Deuce's horror. Orange energy beams emerge, banishing Deuce from Blanc once and for all!]
[The energy from the Guardian Strike Sword causes an all-out orange wave all around Blanc, finishing off Deuce's robot army and destroying all of his robots. The orange energy from the portal powers down, leaving a bunch of wreckage of Deuce's robot army following his defeat at Ace's hands, and the other Loonatics covered in battle dust.]
Not bad for a day's work. Taking out the trash is my favorite chore. [Optimatus lands next to him.] Oh, and looks like I missed one bag of crud!
Zadavia
No, Duck! Optimatus has changed. It was the thrust for unlimited power that corrupted him. Now he must learn to use his powers to be a better leader.
[Sylth Vester emerges from a pile of destroyed Techno-Soldiers.]
