The Justice Squad #2 A Diva in Distress Disclaimer: None of these characters are mine although I think it would be cool because then these stories would be legal. Any way here's who does own them: Disney/Pixar (Buzz Lightyear) Hanna-Barbera studios (Powerpuff Girls), Warner Bros. Inc. (Batman, and Static Shock), Nelvana Inc. (Cybersix) Twentieth Century Fox (the Simpsons), Toei Animation co. (Digimon), and Columbia Tri-Star Inc. (Men in Black). There you legal bastards I hope you're happy. It was a normal day like all others, but soon it would get very interesting. It all started at the hollowed out mountain headquarters of the villainous group known as the Genius League. The fiends were planning to hold a meeting but not all of their members were there yet. So those who were there amused themselves by doing various tasks, a handful of them were gathered over by the water cooler. "So Ken how are things in the digiworld?" Mojo asked while sipping his cup. "Oh the usual, destroy this, terrorize that, erect a control spire here, same old same old. Oh and then those blasted Digidestined ruin my plans, do you know they've destroyed 4 of my control spires already?" "Fascinating" Mojo said "you know things haven't been good for me either, I've been in and out of jail all week thanks to the Powerpuff girls." Then Bob came over "good morrow all" he said "discussing the events of the day eh?" "Yeah what's it to you Bob?" Ken asked "oh don't get me started on defeat " he replied "I've been beaten by Bart in every scheme I've ever tried, well save for that whole dam thing, but nonetheless that little boy is unbeatable." "There seems to be a lot of that going around" Ken said sipping from his cup "so who are we waiting for?" "Alpha" Bob replied "I don't know where that idiotic cyborg goes sometimes, doesn't he have a watch on that mess of a robotic arm of his?" Suddenly a bell sounded "that's the meeting bell, Alpha must have shown up" Mojo said, "speak of the devil," Ken added "let's go." The three villains tossed their cups into a wastebasket, walked over to the table and took their seats. Soon the villains were all gathered around and Jose banged his gavel on the table. "Order, order, this meeting of the Genius League shall come to order" he said "first off we shall discuss any new business, anyone have any?" "I do" Ken replied "as you know Mojo, and I have been toiling several days on designing us a new vehicle. Well taking our cue from the various German invasions we realized speed was the key to a swift invasion." "Yeah so?" "So we have pooled our resources and come up with this" and he held out a blueprint of something that resembled a dune buggy with a large gun on the back. "I call it a Death buggy" Ken said "it's fast, easy to produce, and should prove to be a useful vehicle to mobilize our Fixed Idea troops." "Excellent Ken and Mojo, I am pleased" Jose said "these will be a fine addition to our arsenal, and I take it you repaired the think tanks?" "Oh yes" Ken replied "good as new" "excellent then we shall continue" Jose said "Zurg I believe you had something to say." "Thank you Jose" Zurg said "I would like for us to take on a new henchman, I've used him several times myself and I think he'll be a valuable addition" "Well let's see him first" Alpha said "of course" Zurg replied and gestured to the door "Warp get in here." The steel doors opened and in walked a blue skinned individual in a red and purple costume with a robotic right arm. "Everyone meet Warp Darkmatter, villainous henchman extrodinaire, I think he could be used for various assignments, and perhaps could whip our troops into shape." "He certainly looks useful" Jose said "well Mr. Darkmatter are you willing to join with us as a reserve henchman?" "Hey just as long as you pay me well, I 'm at your disposal" Warp said. "Well I like him I say let's keep him" Bob said, "I second" Spellbinder agreed. Soon all the members agreed "welcome to the group Warp" Jose said "now please head to the special henchmen chamber until we finish" "Sure" Warp said and walked out through the door. "Now that that's done we should plan our next evil scheme, I already have a suggestion " Jose continued. "Enlighten us" Bob said "I think we should abduct a celebrity" There was a hush over the group "no offense but that's a stupid plan any two bit crook can do that" Bob shouted. "Really?" Jose asked, "then why don't you hear more about them?" "I withdraw my objection" Bob said in a sulking manner "I don't understand why should we use our all powerful forces to abduct a celebrity?" Ken asked. "Simple" said Jose "we do it to prove it can be done, think about it few people have ever kidnapped a celebrity it's impossible what with the high security and all. But if we can do it, it will be a true test of our abilities, plus" he said smiling evilly "it will be even more sweet if we let the Justice Squad know what we're planning then abduct the star right under their nose. Then we not only get to exercise our brain power, but we embarrass our sworn foes as well" "Impressive I'm in" Bob said "I'm sure we're all in on this idea Bob" Ken said "but the question remains; which celebrity do we abduct?" "I have just the one in mind" Jose said, "we shall abduct ...Britney Spears!" The villains gasped "Oh boy I'd love a chance to get my hands on that little diva" Mojo said "her happy music upsets me I'd give anything to silence her permanently." "Me too" Rubberband Man added "she's more popular than some black rappers I mean that's just wrong." "Then it's settled, that little brown haired wench shall get her comeuppance" Jose replied "today I'll send an ad to the papers informing them of our plans to abduct Miss Spears." "Wait why are we doing that?" Bob asked "get with the program Bob, it's to inform the Justice Squad about our plans so we can humiliate them when they try to stop us." "Oh then by all means proceed" Bob replied. A few hours later, at the Pentagon General Kingsly had gathered the Justice Squad, all of whom were present save for the leader. "Where is Lightyear?" he asked, "he's usually never late." Suddenly Buzz walked in accompanied by a tiny robot with the Star Command logo on him. "Uh Mr. Lightyear I hate to bother you but you've got a strange little robot following you" Davis pointed out. Buzz looked behind him, "oh him that's XR one of my trainee rangers" he replied "he wanted to see where I've been going so I'm showing him around." "Hey nice place you got here Buzz" XR said surveying "it's nice and secretive, these Pentagon guys know how to live." "Mr. Lightyear would you please tell your guest to have a seat we have pressing matters." Kingsly said "hey hey no need to get stuffy pops I'll take a seat" XR said. "Pops!" Kingsly said "you stupid piece of machinery I'll..." "Sir please don't concern yourself with him tell me what have you gathered us here for?" Buzz asked. The general regained his composure, "of course" he said "anyway here's the problem, in the paper today the Genius league printed a threat claiming that they were going to kidnap pop star Britney Spears and they challenged you to stop them." "So I take it you want us to protect Miss Spears?" Buzz asked. "Precisely" Kingsly replied "she is giving a concert in California in six hours, go there and watch over her." "Man Britney Spears sucks I say let them have her" Davis said, "man I agree she blows, do we have to protect her?" Bart chimed in. "Look Simpson" Kingsly said "this goes beyond what sucks and what's cool this is about stopping these madmen before they strike." "Quite right sir" Buzz said "I don't know who this Spears lady is but if her life is in danger then I believe it's our duty to help her, to the Liberty team!" Buzz shouted and rushed out of the room. "Man I know I'm not going to like this assignment," Davis said as he dejectedly walked out. In a matter of minutes, the Liberty zoomed out from a hidden hanger and off to it's destination Los Angeles, California.... "Buzz we're approaching Los Angeles" Cybersix said turning away from the radar screen. "Okay people, I'm going to cloaking mode and setting us down" Buzz replied. although his screen couldn't find anywhere to land. "Oh craters" he said "this city is huge, where am I supposed to park?" He turned on the computer to scan for an open area, it soon located a nearby field, "okay once again I'm setting her down" Buzz replied. Finally the Liberty landed, and the Justice Squad members exited. "Okay team first priority, find Brittany Spears, anyone know where she is?" Batman raised his hand "well according to this newspaper clipping she will be performing at someplace called the Cosmo club." "Then it's settled we head there" "how man?" Bart asked, "I don't see any transportation anywhere." Buzz laughed "ahh young Bart, don't worry all we have to do is seek out the people of this fine city and I'm sure they will help us to achieve our goal." "You've never been to L.A have you Buzz?" Static asked, "no but I don't see how that is relevant" Buzz replied. "You'll see" Jay replied. After an elapse of five minutes they finally arrived inside the city, and to no surprise received odd looks. "Hey what are you freaks doing in this town?" asked a person. "Greetings citizen" Buzz said "my friends and I seek the Cosmo club, could anyone tell us where it is?" "Yeah I can tell you," said one "up your butt and around the corner." "Now there's no need for vulgarity" Buzz replied "we're just looking for the Cosmo club." "It's at 4th and Vine" another person replied "why you guys going there, are you setting up for a traveling circus?" The crowd laughed, "I am not an animal" XR said doing his best Elephant Man impression, "look the microwave's talking," another said. They laughed again "hey" XR said "I'm a very sophisticated robot" "ignore them" Buzz said, "let's go." And the Justice Squad walked down the streets of the town receiving odd looks from various onlookers. "Hey Buzz" XR said, "I have a question when someone displays their middle finger to you what does that mean?" "You don't want to know" Jay said before Buzz could answer. After about an hour of walking, Buzz spied the intersection "ahh 4th and Vine, we're here everyone." The heroes looked at the club; it was a tall building sort of like a nightclub, but with a much larger stage. It looked like a place where some event like the Oscars might be held. "Whoa talk about low class" XR said, "how much do you guys think a building like this goes for?" "Probably 12 years salary, well for a normal person anyway" Jay said. Buzz knocked on the door, and a man dressed in a T-shirt and ripped slacks came out. "Yes may I help you...gentlemen?" he said saying the last word in a disgusted tone. "Greetings sir, we have come all the way from Washington D.C. on a top secret mission." "Oh really" said the man, feigning interest, "and what is this mission hmm?" "Well that's classified" Buzz said "then why should I let you in here?" the man curtly replied "listen I don't like freaks comin' here and telling me that there from Washington on some 'secret mission.' Now tell me who you are, and what you want or else get out of my face." "I understand" Buzz said "perhaps this will change your mind, give him the clipping" Batman stepped forward and handed him the newspaper clipping from D.C. The man gave it a once over "so let me see some guys calling themselves the Genius League are planning to abduct Britney Spears?" "Yes sir we're from the Pentagon we've been sent to protect her" Buzz replied. The man laughed and rudely slammed the door in their face "oh yeah pal well how do you like this" Bart said raising his hand, preparing to flick him off, Davis quickly restrained him. "Easy Bart" he said "hey hold it" Batman said, "I hear voices from within." They all turned to the door where their were definitely mumbled yelling, suddenly the door opened and another man, clad in a business suit stood before them. "Oh you must be the people from the Pentagon please come in" he said. Buzz shrugged his shoulders and he walked in, "hey what gives before with the rude guy?" Bart asked. "Sorry about that, he probably just didn't believe that story, it is rather farfetched." "Then how come you believe it?" Buzz asked "well gen. Kingsly from the Pentagon and confirmed everything just a few minutes ago." "Well so much for subtlety" Jay said. "My name is John Collins," the man said, "I run this place, as you know Britney Spears will be performing here tonight. She is a top act and is expected to bring in a lot of money, but if what you say is true, no security can keep out these genius guys." "They're extremely smart and evil sir" Static said, "I'm sure" John said "that's why I want you to have full run of the place, do whatever you can to keep Britney from being kidnapped." "You can count on it sir" Buzz said and he did an about face "okay team spread out" he said "Batman, Blossom, watch the outdoors, Jay, Static, check the rows and look for any suspicious people, Davis, you Bart and XR are backstage." "Ahh jeez" Davis said, "now I actually have to be there when Britney comes out" "relax man I got my trusty slingshot" Bart replied. "No slingshot's we're here to protect her not annoy her" Buzz said. "Ahh man" Davis and Bart said as they walked off toward their assignment. "Mr. Collins" Buzz said, "I was wondering if perhaps I could meet the lady in question?" "I don't see why not, right this way" Collins said escorting Buzz down a long backstage hallway, they stopped in front of a door with a star on it. Collins knocked on it "who is it?" said a voice from inside "it's John Collins could you please open up Britney I have to tell you something." "Very well" the voice said and the door opened, Buzz got his first glimpse of the lovely young diva. "Yes what did you want to say?" Britney asked, "Britney Spears, I'd like you to meet Buzz Lightyear" Collins said and then stepped away so she could get a clearer look. "Wow are you like the Toy Story Buzz?" she asked, Buzz had a confused look on his face "umm.. I guess so" he replied "you know I just loved Toy Story and Toy Story 2, you are quite talented, pretending to be a toy and all." "Right.." Buzz said, he didn't understand what Britney was talking about but he had to state his mission "Miss Spears" he began "I am here along with a band of other heroes to protect you." Britney laughed "protect me? Is this some kind of publicity stunt for your next movie?" "No ma'am I can assure you I'm quite serious" Buzz replied "a band of evil villains, known as the Genius League, have vowed that today they will abduct you. We've been sent here by the Pentagon to stop that from happening." "But I don't understand why would these guys want to kidnap me?" Britney asked "I've never met them I don't even know them." "I don't know why ma'am" Buzz said "I've never understood the twisted mind of evil, I don't know what makes it function. All I do know is that I will do everything in my power to protect you from these vile villains." "Thanks Buzz" she said, "hey can I see your lazer work?" "Certainly ma'am" Buzz said and he fired a beam which blasted a hole in the ceiling. "Whoops, uh you can bill the Pentagon for that" he said. Meanwhile none of the Justice Squad, even Static and Jay, knew that the aforementioned villains were already in the building. "Jeez do we have to be here?" Bob asked, his features hidden behind an overcoat and huge slouch hat, "I'd rather see the midget production of the H.M.S Pinafore, then attend a Britney Spears concert." "Will you pipe down?" Ken said, clothed in similar garb, "once this performance is over, she won't be doing another." "Right, provided Jose's plan works" Rubberband Man added. "It'll work" Jose replied and pulled a walkie talkie from his pocket, "Mama bear to baby bear, come in baby bear" Outside a harmless looking bakery truck sat parked out by the stage door, however, it's driver was anything less than harmless. "Copy that mama bear this is baby bear over" Warp said into his miniature radio, "okay the pigeon will sing in five minutes, after the performance, is when we clip her wings, be ready." "Uh roger that baby bear out," Warp said turning off his radio "man I've got to get another code name." Inside the villains waited "okay run the plan by me once more" Ken said, "it's simple" Jose replied "I've replaced 2 of Britney's backup dancers with Techno's, after her performance, they'll grab her backstage and take her out to the truck." "Brilliant" Rubberband Man said, "what's a techno?" "One of my father's creations" Jose replied "they are genetic beings that are so much like humans you can hardly tell them apart, they're so sophisticated only Cybersix can spot them." "You know it occurs to me we've never met your father" Ken replied "that's none of your business" Jose snapped back. Backstage, Britney was addressing both Buzz and Collins, "okay I've got to go on stage now for my warm up performance," she said. "Don't worry ma'am," said Buzz "my friends are all over this place, nothing should happen." "Thank you Buzz" she said, and walked to the stage, there the announcer said, "ladies and gentlemen may I present Britney Spears!" Britney said hello to her fans and broke into "(you drive me) crazy", Bob covered his ears in pain. Backstage Davis was having no fun, "man being backstage stinks" he said "there's no action and we have to listen to stupid Britney Spears." "Yeah man" Bart added and turned to XR "hey robot boy, amuse us", "yeah Davis said "tell us secrets about Buzz." "I'm ashamed at the 2 of you?" XR gasped "do you think I'd spill the dirt on Buzz Lightyear?" "Sorry we should have considered your loyalty to him" Davis replied. "No you didn't let me finish" XR said "do you think I'd spill the dirt on Buzz Lightyear, for nothing? Give me a twenty cause money talks and baby I've got a lot to say." "Alright" Davis said and fished in his pockets "uhh what can I get for a five?" "The knowledge that Buzz sleeps in pajamas with rockets on them." "Oh man" Davis said and he, Bart, and Veemon giggled. Meanwhile Britney had just finished her song "thanks for coming everyone, come back at 8:00 for my major performance" she stepped backstage as her dancers filed away to their various rooms. Once all the others had left, the 2 techno dancers approached Britney. "Hey great job out there guys" she said, suddenly before she could react one grabbed her and pinned her arms to her sides, the other clamped a hand over her mouth, and then they began to pick her up and take her outside. Fortunately, her muffled cries, and frantic kicking, attracted the attention of Davis, "hey!" he shouted "those guys are trying to abduct Britney!" Bart and XR turned to see Davis was right, he then quickly released his blasters. "Freeze dirtbags" he said, "drop the girl", the 2 techno's looked at him but continued to move forward. "I warned you" XR said firing a blast which shot one of the techno's in his leg, he released his grip to massage it, and that was all the time Bart needed. "Chew on this man" he said firing a well-placed rock at the other techno, it hit his hand, and as he removed it to rub it, Britney let out a scream. Buzz and the others heard it "Miss Spears is in trouble let's move people" he shouted. Instantly Jay, Static, Cybersix, and Buzz ran for the stage. Although the technos managed to get Britney restrained again, it was too late. "What are you waiting for XR? fire at them" Davis shouted "I can't I might hit Miss Spears" the robot replied. "Now what do we do?" Davis asked, "leave it to us" Buzz said as he and the others rushed backstage. Cybersix instantly recognized the dancers "techno's more of Jose's evil creatures' she said, "Buzz I think Jose may be here" Buzz nodded and turned to Jay "Jay check the audience for any other villains we'll handle these two." "Right chief" Jay said rushing out. Meanwhile Cybersix launched a flying kick, knocking one of the techno's off of Britney. With her arms free again, Britney elbowed the other techno then fled back to her dressing room. "Miss Spears is safe," Buzz said "now let's finish these guys" he used his lazer, and disintregrated one. "My turn" Static said and fired a jolt at the other, also reducing him to a pile of clothes, "I bet he's shocked that happened" he quipped. Back in the audience Jay was looking for anyone suspicious, then his radio, turned on and he answered it. "Jay find anybody suspicious yet?" Buzz asked him "no sir" Jay radioed back "everyone seems to be normal..." he noticed a man with a large hat. "Excuse me sir, but' I'm afraid you'll have to remove that it's blocking other peoples view" Jay said. "Bug off " the man replied "don't tell me your afraid to remove your abnormally large hat sir" Jay said goading him. "It's not large" the man replied, "well it certainly looks that way I mean that is the biggest freaking hat I've ever seen, a bird could nest in that hat..." "Shut up!" Bob said who turned around, realizing he had just made his presence known "oh dear sorry" "Bingo" Jay said "Buzz I got Sideshow Bob in the audience", "that ain't all you got punk" Rubberband Man said and stretched out a fist knocking Jay over. "Nice going Bob now our cover's blown let's get out of here" Jose replied and the 4 villains dashed toward the exit. "Security apprehend them!" Collins shouted but it was a wasted effort, "freeze" the guards yelled with guns drawn. "Out of our way fuzz" Rubberband man said grabbing the guards and tossing them like rag dolls. "Great" Collins said, "now those madmen will escape." "Maybe not" said Buzz who had just arrived from backstage, he grabbed his radio "Blossom, Batman it's me Buzz, several of the Genius League are trying to escape, stop them." "On it Buzz " said Batman he looked and spied the fleeing villains "I see them we're going in." He and Blossom then jetted down from the roof at the escaping criminals. "Oh great more of them, now what?" Bob said upon seeing them. Jose flipped on his radio "Warp it's Jose, release the hidden hornets now!" "Aye aye captain" Warp said and flipped a switch on the van. Instantly 4 hornets came out from a nearby alley and rushed the heroes. "Hornets darn it" Batman said, meanwhile the van drove by quickly, and the back doors opened "all aboard" Warp said "next stop our temporary headquarters." The 4 villains piled in "So long suckers" Ken said "Darkmatter floor this thing." Warp complied and the van screeched away. As for the heroes Blossom punched her way through 2 hornets, while Batman used his batarangs to destroy the other two. But by then the van was gone. "Darn" Batman said and radioed Buzz "Buzz it's Terry, we found the villains but they ambushed us with hornets and got away in a bakery van." "Craters" said Buzz "we may have prevented them from kidnapping Miss Spears, but now that they've escaped they'll try again." "Are you sure Buzz? I mean we whipped them pretty bad," XR said. "Maybe so XR" Buzz replied "but I'm sure this only their first attempt, we did good, but we can do better, we were sloppy today and I won't let it happen again." Buzz walked backstage and to Britney's dressing room. "Are you okay miss Spears?" he asked. "Yes thanks to you and your friends, but I see now that someone is very intent on kidnapping me." "Yes they are and this was only their first attempt, try as we might the perpetrators escaped." Britney was shocked "oh no" she cried, "you mean they might try again?" Buzz nodded "yes I'm afraid so, you're no longer safe here, tell me where are you staying?" "The Grand Palace hotel it's about five blocks from here" Britney said "we'll take you back there personally and guard your room with our lives." "Oh thank you, thank you" Britney replied handing Buzz a key "let me just get a few things, here's the key to the room." Thank you ma'am" Buzz said "please Buzz you don't have to be so polite, loosen up call me Britney." "Um okay thank you Britney" Buzz said, and then he turned to face his troops, "XR front and center" he said, the little robot wheeled forward, "you called Buzz?" he asked. "Yes take Bart and go to Miss Spears room to check for bombs or any traps" "yes sir" said XR wheeling away "oh and no mini-bar privileges, and I'm sending Jay just in case." Buzz replied. "Oh c'mon Buzz, she can afford it, she's a superstar" XR whined. "GO!" Buzz said, "I'm going I'm going...cheapskate" XR muttered under his breath. The Grand Palace L.A.'s Grand Palace was a magnificent place of a hotel with rooms that could only be afforded by the wealthy people. Britney, however, obviously had enough money to afford a reasonably furnished sweet. After checking in, Britney and her bodyguards entered the elevator and headed upward. "Are all of you going to be in my room?" she asked, "certainly not" Buzz replied "we'll be stationed around the hotel, you won't even notice us." The elevator arrived on the fifth floor and the gang entered, Buzz quickly armed his lazer and approached the door with caution. "Let's hope XR handled the bomb sweep," he said as he opened the door pointing his lazer inward. Inside Jay was drinking a soda, while Bart was eating a bag of peanuts, and XR was watching television. "Oh hey Buzz" XR said, "uhh we checked no traps, say would it interest you to know this t.v. has over 100 channels, pretty neat huh?" "What did I say about the minibar?" Buzz replied angrily, "hey hey Jay started it" XR replied "Yeah I believe 'here Jay have a Coke, Buzz will never know' officially counts as starting it" Jay said. "Okay maybe not, but anyway I mean they want 10 dollars for a Coke, that's highway robbery somebody needed to teach these fatcats who charge these prices a lesson. Buzz groaned and slapped his hand to his face "I try to be a good leader" he said "is it my fault, what am I doing wrong?" Behind him Britney giggled at the humorous events that had taken place. "Well I'm glad you find this funny" Buzz replied "okay team, I want this entire hotel covered, XR, you will remain here, everyone else spread out." In about 2 minutes the Justice Squad were guarding the various areas of the hotel, Batman and Blossom had the roof covered, Jay and Static took the hallway, Davis and Bart had the lobby, and Cybersix was watching the elevator. "Don't worry miss Spears" Buzz said "no one going to get you while we're on watch" "that's right so you just sit down, relax, add a few items onto your hotel bill, write off a couple of towels, the usual stuff." Buzz glared at XR, "what? The hotel won't miss a few towels" "put them back now ranger" "fine fine, jeez you always stand in the way of free enterprise" XR muttered as he crossed into the bathroom. "Buzz do you think it would be okay if I ordered room service?" Britney asked, "certainly I see no harm" Buzz replied. "Awesome" Britney replied and picked up the phone, "hello room service, I'd like to order 2 hamburgers, fries and a chocolate fudge sundae, okay..alright thanks," she said hanging up the phone. "It should be here in five minutes" she replied. Sure enough five minutes later, a man in a uniform wheeled a cart up to the door. "Hold it" said Jay "we need to check that food to make sure there are no sleep drugs in it" "Hey man this is a violation of hotel policies" the bellboy complained, but he allowed Jay to scan it with a special MIB tested drug detector. "Okay the detector shows it's clean, you can come in" "Thanks man" the bellhop said and wheeled in the cart, "odd" thought Static "he seems familiar." "Oh good room service is here," Britney said, and the man opened the silver platter to reveal the order. "Hey food" XR said, shoving bags of nuts, and other minibar items into his chest slot, "these superstars sure know how to live, boy I tell you if I could eat, that would be what I would pick." "You do fine work sir" Buzz said, "thank you sir" the bellhop replied "I wanted to make sure Britney got this meal, after all it will be her last for some time" Suddenly the bellhops features twisted into...Rubberband man. "You, I should have known, I forgot your rubbery powers enable you to change your appearance" Buzz said. "I guess that'll cost you ranger," Rubberband Man said and he backhanded Buzz into the wall. "Hey you stretchable fiend, try me on for size" XR said releasing his many lazers. "Shut up tin can," Rubberband Man said and after transforming his hand into a fist, slammed it down on XR. "Waiter, I'll have what he's having" a dazed XR said before he fainted. "Now for you popstar" the villain said, Britney quickly ran to the phone, but before she could pick it up, the villain wrapped her up in one of his arms, making it difficult for her to move or scream. "Guys it's me" Rubberband Man reported on his radio "I've got the girl, time to take out the other Justice jerks." "I copy that, me and Mojo are moving in, Zurg out." The 2 villains, who had thenceforth been in the lobby, in disguise walked towards the elevator. "Hey Davis, is it me or do those guys seem suspicious?" Veemon asked. Davis looked them over; "they are kind of odd I'd better notify Mr. Lightyear" he said and took out his radio. "Davis calling Mr. Lightyear are you there sir?" when Buzz didn't answer, Davis became worried, "I think something's happened we better go up ourselves" "Davis replied "let's move man" Bart said and away they went. Meanwhile the elevator pulled up to the suite floor, but Cybersix stopped them. "Hold on you two" she said, "what are you doing here, and who are you? I want names." "Us?" said Zurg, "why we're just here to do a little.... pest control!" he whipped off his overcoat, and before Cybersix could react blasted her against the wall. "Now Mojo, use the gas guns, to put the 2 guards to sleep, I'll see if cyber-chick is still conscious." "Right" Mojo replied and used a large gun to spray a green gas down the hall, but not before donning a gas mask. The gas floated down the hall and Jay and Static breathed it in, "uh...it's..gas" Jay, said before collapsing. The 2 villains then opened the hotel door, were Rubberband Man stood at the ready, "what kept you guys?" he asked "sorry" said Zurg "we had a little pest problem, now let's get the girl and get out of here." "You three aren't going anywhere, except to jail" said a voice from behind, the villains turned to see Cybersix facing them. "I thought I blasted you into the wall" Zurg said "oh well, this time, I'll make sure of it." He fired his Zurgomatic ion blaster, but the wiry female cyborg, jumped, allowing the blast to hit a wall. "Blast" shouted Zurg, when suddenly; Cybersix slammed into him with an outstretched foot, knocking him to the ground. "Get her!" Rubberband man shouted and Mojo turned the gas gun on her. "Gas won't work on me monkey boy," Cybersix said, and she snatched Mojo by his cape, then she twirled him around and let him go. He flew down the hall, and crashed into the wall. She then shifted her attention to Rubberband Man "you may have taken out my partners" he said "but I'll turn you into scrap metal." "Let's see what you've got stretch" Cybersix taunted "why you!" he shouted and lashed out a rubber arm, but Cybersix kept avoiding it's grasp. "You'll have to do better than that to beat me" she said "it'll take both arms." "If that's what you want" Rubberband Man said and he loosened his grip on Britney so he could use both arms. "Run Britney" Cybersix said, "I'll handle Mr. elastic here" "let's see how cocky you are now!" Rubberband Man shouted firing out both arms, Cybersix jumped and dodged one, as the other advanced she dodged it too. Then she flipped behind him; "I'll get you!" Rubberband man shouted and his arms inched behind him, she jumped again this time to the front. He responded by firing his arms again but again she jumped to the back, "stand still" he shouted and shot out again, once again she flipped to the front but the villains arms stopped short, "what the, what's wrong?" he asked. "Easy you've just been tied up in a big knot, who's the smart one now?" "Errr when I get out of here, I'll rip you to pieces!" Rubberband man, "we'll see" Cybersix said, "right now you're taking a trip" and she grabbed him by his arms. "What, hey!" he exclaimed before Cybersix spun him around, after she let him go, he crashed through the window landing on a van. Ken and Alpha popped their heads out, "what the?" Alpha asked, "let me guess our plan hit a snag?" Ken asked. "Yeah" Rubberband Man replied, Ken quickly activated his radio, "Zurg, Mojo pull out now this plan is over." Zurg pulled out his radio "roger that I'm outta here" before Cybersix could stop him, Zurg jetted over to the unconscious Mojo, grabbed him and jetted out the window into the van. "Nice work idiot" Ken said, "I thought the gas thing was fool proof I can't believe you screwed it up." "Don't blame me" Zurg replied "that blasted Cybersix, foiled us." "Well this is useless let's give up" Bob replied, suddenly Jose turned to face him "give up?" he asked, "no we put to much effort into this plan to give up now." "But Jose they've beaten us twice now what can we do?" Bob said. "Haven't you ever heard that third time's a charm?" Jose asked "Britney still has to go to the concert, and when she does she's ours, now gather around I have a plan." Back in the hotel, Buzz had recovered and after hearing the story he had his team sweep the hotel room. "Well Buzz I checked the floor, there's not a bomb in sight" XR replied "ditto on the roof" said Blossom "I think it's clean." "Don't be so sure" Buzz said "I doubt these villains would leave without leaving something behind" At that time Bart and Davis rushed into the room, "okay villains show yourselves" Davis said, his fists raised in a boxing position "I'm ready for you." "I admire your spirit young one, but I'm afraid the menace is over" Buzz replied. "What? you mean we missed all the action aww man!" Davis whined "I knew we shouldn't have stopped to sample the dessert cart." "Speak for yourself Davis" Veemon said "that was delicious cake, besides now I have the strength to digivolve if the villains do return." "Oh yeah I guess I didn't think of that" Davis replied. Britney walked over to Buzz "Mr. Lightyear what will we do those guys are still out there and I'm sure they'll try to capture me again." "Fear not Britney" Buzz replied "you have the superior forces of the Justice Squad at your disposal we will protect you as long as we have to. Tell me when are you going to the studio?" "At six", she looked at her watch "oh dear I've got to leave in five minutes if I want to get there in time." "You just hurry and prepare" Buzz said, "we'll guard you every step of the way." Britney nodded and walked off, Buzz then addressed his team, "okay people listen up, in five minutes we're heading to the Cosmo club where Britney is going to perform. I want every step of that route guarded I'm talking land and air there shouldn't be one stretch of the road we don't know about now let's move!" Five minutes later Britney had prepared herself and entered the limo that waited outside. Buzz stood watching then flipped on his radio "Okay team Britney's taking off, Batman you and Blossom follow from the air, the rest of you take the other reserved vehicles and follow at close range, now head out." Soon two vehicles drove down the streets of L.A, with the backup car, an old outdated model, following the lead limo. "Man Buzz could have at least sprung for a limo for all of us too" XR said "this old Dodge looks like it's going to break apart after five miles." "Hey shut up" Jay said "just keep your eyes on the road, those diabolical villains could strike at anytime." Soon the limo reached a long tunnel, Batman radioed in to Buzz "sir it's Terry" he said. "We've got a problem the limo's going through a tunnel, and I'm not sure Blossom and I can follow." "Craters!" Buzz said "well head to the other end and make sure the limo comes out of there." "Check" Batman replied, and jetted to the end, after two minutes the limo emerged from the tunnel safely "whew! no trouble" Blossom said and as she flew off she failed to notice the tunnel disappear. About two minutes later the limo pulled along when suddenly a lazer blast fired from nowhere. "What the?" Batman asked "Buzz we've got trouble someone's firing lazers." "We'll be there full speed team," he said and the rest of the group rushed off in their vehicles, to the site. Meanwhile the limo was under siege by a band of Death Buggies that emerged from a nearby hill on the side of the road. "Look Fixed Ideas are driving those vehicles" Blossom said, "let's take 'em," Batman said. He dived downward and slammed one of the massive mutants out of his car. Blossom punched another and bent the gun on his buggy. Then she used her eye beams to melt another gun barrel, the grabbing the massive mutant, hurled him into the latter one. Batman saw 2 more Death Buggies driving down from the hillside lazers blazing. "Whoa" he said jumping to avoid them; he then hurled a batarang at one knocking out the driver, who promptly careened into the hillside. "Err I'll get you!" shouted the other Fixed Idea who drove forward at full speed. "Not today ugly" Batman said doing a flying jump kick he connected squarely with the beasts' jaw, disorienting him and sending the buggy on an off road course. About that time, the rest of the Justice Squad arrived in their rental cars, "okay team split formation" Buzz said "I'll check the limo and get it on it's way, you handle these villains." "Right" the Justice Squad rushed into battle as more of the vile vehicles came into view. "Time to put your lights out ugly" Static said, and using his power, lifted up a nearby lamppost and hurled it at the Death Buggy. "Ahh!" shouted the Fixed Idea as the lamppost slammed into him breaking his gun and stopping him in his tracks. Meanwhile Buzz went over to the limo "are you alright Miss Spears?" he asked, opening the door. "Oh I'm just fine" said a strangely feminine voice "thanks for asking!" Before Buzz could understand what was happening, he was blasted. Warp Darkmatter stepped out from the back of the limo "poor misguided Lightyear, I can't believe you fell for my little trick." Buzz looked up "Warp" he said "what's scum like you doing here, where's Britney Spears?" "Probably safely in the Genius leagues clutches," "but that's impossible, I had the limo watched every step of the way there's no way you could have grabbed her." "Oh no?" Warp replied "remember that tunnel?" "your work?" Buzz asked. Warp nodded "there was really no tunnel" he replied "Spellbinder created it, when the limo entered we made the switch and escaped after your airborne losers followed our decoy limo." "But how?" Buzz asked "we work fast" Warp replied "then you mean...?" "That's right Lightyear these Death Buggy squadrons are just a distraction to keep your losers busy till my employers make it back to their makeshift headquarters and you justice jerks fell for it hook, line, and sinker. Well I'd love to stay, but the Genius League is probably expecting me, sorry I can't tell you where later Lightyear" Warp said as he jetted off. "Curse you Warp come back here" Buzz shouted firing his lazer, XR, who had been on the sidelines noticed the escaping Warp and also fired. But the blasts missed and the villain escaped, "craters" Buzz said and turned to his friends "everyone stop battling them, it's a distraction the Genius League has Britney." "What?" everyone said, "Look" Static cried suddenly, everyone turned to see the Death Buggys pulling away, "I told you, they were just a distraction they must have outlived their usefulness." "No way man, how did they grab her? we were watching her like a hawk" Jay said "It was that blasted tunnel" Buzz said "it was an illusion created by Spellbinder, somehow they switched limos before we could catch on." "Blast" Blossom said pounding her palm "we should have followed the limo in there" "Any idea where she is?" Cybersix asked "none" Buzz replied "I wish I knew where those vile villains had set up their headquarters." "I think I can help you with that Buzz" XR said, "how?" Buzz asked. "Well when I noticed Warp escaping I fired a tracking device on his jetpack, I'm pretty sure it stuck and we should be able to trace him." "Good job XR" Davis said, "yeah I guess your not just a dumb robot after all" Jay replied. "Okay people " Buzz said " to the cars we can follow the tracker on XR we've got to get Britney Spears before those vile villains can harm her" and quickly the cars drove off. Meanwhile at their makeshift headquarters in a Los Angeles dump the Genius League celebrated their victory. "Didn't I tell you guys we could do it, didn't I?" Jose asked. "Yes yes no need to rub our faces in it" Bob replied "brilliant work on that whole tunnel plan Spellbinder, I couldn't have done better myself" Zurg said. "Your too kind Zurg" said Spellbinder "but it was Jose's plan I was just following through with my part." "Man I can't wait to see the look on those justice jerks faces when they find out that we have Britney Spears" Ken said "after they worked out such an intricate plan to protect her" "Well we all know how well that worked didn't we?" Jose said and the villains enjoyed a hearty evil laugh. In the corner sat Britney, bound hand and foot, and gagged and wondering what these vile villains had planned for her. "Say," asked Mojo "now that we have Britney what'll we do with her?" "Hmm I never thought of that" Jose said "let's ask her record company for ransom money." "Isn't that a little bit immature for geniuses of our talents?" Bob asked "I mean kidnapping a damsel and asking for ransom, any two-bit crook can do that." "We used our genius to snatch the dimwitted diva we're entitled to a little average criminal practice I think" Ken replied. "Well hurry, call em up" Jose said, just then Warp showed up, "hey guys I'm back." "Well how did it go?" Zurg asked "just as planned, those justice fools fell for our trap, and they have no idea where we are." "You made sure you weren't followed?" Alpha asked, "yeah those guys were busy, taking out our troops, they couldn't have followed me, trust me we're perfectly safe." Unknown to Warp the Justice Squad had just arrived outside the junkyard. "Well a cleverly constructed junkyard fortress," Buzz said, "this may be more difficult then I originally thought, any suggestions?" "We could sneak in" Jay suggested, "no good" Buzz replied "there's no telling what kind of security measures we're dealing with, but if we charge right in, they may kill Britney." "So what'll we do Mr. Lightyear?" Davis asked. "We only have one choice, to take out the guards before we're reported, Blossom fly overhead and scout the area." "Check Buzz" she said, zooming off from the van she spied a group of hornets standing outside the fortress. "A few guards, I'll disable them" she said and blasted them to bits. "Okay all clear" she radioed back, "alright everyone move in but be quiet" Buzz said. Everyone began to tiptoe through the mounds of trash, unknown to Davis he stepped over a tripwire. Inside the fortress, Jose was on the phone, "ask for 2 million" Bob said, "please this is a record company," Ken said "it would take them about 100 years to make that much." "Point taken" Bob replied. Suddenly the alarms blared, "intruders!" Zurg shouted, "it's those justice jerks." "I thought you weren't followed Darkmatter?" Mojo said, "I don't know how they found us sir" Warp replied. "Never mind, let's get out there and get them!" Jose cried. Outside our heroes were still advancing to the base, "good work team so far we still have the element of surprise." Suddenly a lazer blast grazed his head, "or not" "how'd they learn we were here?" Jay asked. "Who cares? Take them out" Buzz said, Blossom flew forward and knocked Bob into a mound of garbage, then dodged Alpha's lazer arm. Batman threw a batarang at Mojo's weapon, "now to use trash to stop this trash" Static said, and used his powers to grab a nearby car bumper. He hurled it forward, slamming it into Mojo and Spellbinder. Meanwhile, Ken tried to shock Jay with his whip, while Rubberband Man faced off against Static. "Finally I can have my revenge" he chuckled sending out a rubbery fist, Static flew upward, "let's see how well you handle all of this junk you stretchable fiend," he said. Gathering his energy he levitated lots of metal objects around him, "chew on these" Static said firing the barrage, they slammed into the rubbery villain, many bounced off of him. "Looks like your scheme failed Static, now I'll stretch your limbs until they come off", he grabbed him, but Cybersix launched at him with a flying kick. Disorienting the fiend he released Static and tumbled off the garbage mound. Elsewhere, Jay had used his noisy cricket on Ken, but it hit a mound of rubbish. "Missed MIB doofus" he said, suddenly the mound collapsed, "ahh!" Ken shouted as a pile of garbage buried him. "Looks like I've put the digimon emperor where he belongs, with the rest of this garbage" Jay said triumphantly. "Lucky break Jay" Alpha said "too bad it's your last" zzap! He fired his lazer, "yaah!" Jay jumped to avoid it, "you can't dodge me forever Jay" Alpha said. "He won't have too," Batman said Alpha turned to look behind him, but it was too late, whoosh! A batarang smashed into the lazer arm disabling it. "Thanks for the cover bats" Jay said taking the opportunity to ram into Alpha at full speed. The vile cyborg fell over and was unable to rise do to the heaviness of his parts. "Help me I've fallen and I can't get up" he said, "never thought I'd see the day when he said that" Jay replied. Back at the entrance to the fortress, the other Justice Squad members contented with Fixed Idea troops. Cybersix kicked a pair, while Blossom punched as many as she could reach, even Davis joined in by having Flamedramon attack. Buzz, Meanwhile, was battling Warp, "give it up Warp, the troops are falling it's all over," Buzz said. "Maybe so Lightyear" Warp replied "but I can still take you out" he fired from his arm, Buzz rolled and dodged it. "You've got no cover here Lightyear" Warp replied "I can find you wherever you hide" he fired two more blasts, "I've got you now". Buzz looked around on the ground, suddenly he spied an old hubcap, and just as Warp fired he held it up. It reflected the blast, destroying Warp's arm, allowing Buzz to tackle him. "In the name of the Galactic Alliance I place you under arrest" Buzz said, "drop him Lightyear" Zurg said. Buzz turned to see Zurg standing a few feet behind him, he was holding Britney, and had his ion blaster pointed at her head. "If you want the girls head to remain on her neck, call off your dogs and raise your hands" Zurg said. "Justice Squad halt now!" Buzz said then turned to Zurg "okay we've stopped now let her go." "Hmm I don't know Lightyear, sure you've surrendered, but what fun would it be without torturing you. We don't really need that money any way." "You wouldn't dare" Buzz said, "oh I would and I will kiss one pathetic popstar good bye!" but just as he prepared to fire something caused his blaster to lift out of his hand. "What the?" Zurg exclaimed, "who did that?" Buzz looked around to see a nearby crane tipped with an electromagnet, with Bart at the helm. "Hey guys I thought you might need some help" he said. Buzz smiled "fine work Bart" he said "now use the crane on Zurg." "Right man" Bart said "oh no you don't" Jose said, pushing a button on a tiny remote, the Darkheart appeared over the junkyard. First it fired a blast to disable the crane, "ahh man" Bart said, and then it activated numerous tractor beams, which picked up the Genius league and transferred them to the ship. "They're getting away after them," Buzz said but it was too late the ship flew off. "Well that was a bust" Alpha said "yes let's never do that again" Bob replied. "Hold on guys" Jose said, "we may have failed but we at least captured Britney from out under those fools noses, if we can accomplish that there's nothing we can't do." "You're right," Ken said "next time we'll devise a plan to destroy those justice fools for good ha ha ha ha ha." Back at the junkyard Buzz was attending to Britney, "Are you alright Britney" Buzz asked, tearing the gag from her mouth. "I'm fine, just a little shaken up" she replied "well don't worry we'll get you back in time for your performance." Sure enough a half-hour later Britney was back at the Cosmo club "thank you so much for rescuing Britney so she can perform" Collins said. "I'd like to thank you too" Britney said, "so I'd like to give you all tickets to my show today." "Thanks Britney but it goes against what we stand for to accept rewards for our work" Buzz said. "Speak for yourself sir" Davis said, "I'll gladly take the tickets" "I thought you hated Britney" Bart said "no I don't" Davis replied "besides these will score me major points with Kari." Soon the Justice Squad gathered to watch Britney perform, "Oh wow Davis I can't believe you got tickets for Britney Spears" Yolei exclaimed "she's like my all time favorite popstar ever someone pinch me I must be dreaming." "I can't believe we're here in California to see her," Kari added. "Alright people are you ready for fun?" boomed the announcer "yes!" the crowd shouted. "Then here she is, the one and only....Britney Spears!" The audience screamed including Yolei and Kari who were clinging onto Davis. "Maybe this wasn't such a hot idea, oww stop pinching my arm" he said, "I don't get it Terry" XR said to Batman "she says 'hit me baby one more time' but why would she want someone to hit her?" Batman laughed "I have no idea XR, I have no idea" and the Justice Squad stayed for the whole concert confident that once again they'd made the world safe for popstars and their fans everywhere, no matter how annoying they are.
