Kansas City, antimatter world:
Dragnet Zero: "So, Disco, want to go fight Dr. Marten in New York?"
Disco Stave: "Do you know, when you shorten your name, it looks like Dragonball Z. You know, the D and the Z from..."
Dragnet Zero: "Let's GO!"
Later, the duo was crammed in two seats in a flight to New York.
Dragnet Zero: "Where are our vehicles? And why are we stuck in coach?"
Disco and Dragnet Zero tried to get comfortable on the plane, but it was difficult.
"Of all the movies they have to show during this crappy flight, why I'll be Home for Christmas?" Disco Stave said as a baby spat up on Dragnet Zero next to him.
"Heh."
"You say something, Steve?"
"Nope."
At MBL Headquarters in the MBL's world, Time Trustee Tempus forced open the door, which had been locked by King Psionic when he had left earlier. He stepped aside as Medusa Lass walked in, and he quickly followed after her.
"Ah yes!" Medusa Lass said giddily. "With those MBLers out of the way, I will be able to send my havoc across this country. And with TTT under my control, I have access to all the weapons. Tempus, unlock that big vault with all the guns in it."
"Are you sure this is a good Idea?" Time Trustee Tempus said. He received an evil glare and said, his eyes glazed over once more, "Yesss, masterrr..."
As he opened the vault, he saw nothing. "Now where did we hide all those guns?"
Medusa Lass said to herself, "Hmm, it appears the MBL's arsenal was hidden even from Tempus. Perhaps they didn't trust him as much as I thought they would. That damn Nowhereman! He suspected too much. Oh, well, on to plan B!"
She walked up to her supposed husband. "Come here, lover." Kissing him, Tempus froze into a totally suggestible state. He no longer had any willpower of his own, now.
"Now, my love, my hate, you will help me take over this world. The MBL is away, and there's nobody left to oppose us. Except, perhaps, the unaccounted-for members of the MBL. Hmm, yes... that's what I'll do..."
Kansas City, antimatter world:
Natsuko: "So how are we going to get there?"
Jenna: "Well... some are in a plane... others are in some sort of automobile..."
Natsuko: "What's the name of that movie?"
Jenna: "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles? or is it Trains, Planes, and Automobiles?"
Natsuko: "Well, then let's go to the train station."
So they hopped on a train to Chicago. Unfortunately, the train broke down, and they took a cab to the airport, where they hopped on a plane to Chicago.
New York City, antimatter world:
Disco Stave and Dragnet Zero were on the bus leaving the La Guardia Airport to wherever it was they were supposed to go.
The bus hit a speed bump. Dragnet Zero was knocked out of his seat, and luggage fell on top of him.
Disco Stave: "Heh."
Dragnet Zero: "Oy..."
Disco Stave turned to Dragnet Zero: "Who are we fighting again?"
DK007: "Dr. Marten."
Disco Stave: "Isn't that a shoe company?"
Dragnet Zero: "I guess..."
"Is that him?" Disco Stave said, pointing to the guy in the seat in front of him.
Dragnet Zero: "Crap."
On a plan to Chicago, antimatter world:
"Nobody move! I have a gun!"
Natsuko barely looked up from her in-flight magazine. "Ooh, I'm scared. A hijacking."
"HIJACKING?" Jenna shrieked.
Several passengers, having heard the dreaded word, panicked.
"Great," Natsuko muttered under her breath. She got up out of her seat and approached the would-be hijacker. "Put the gun away and sit down," she said, using an ancient Oriental mind trick.
"I'm going to put the gun away and sit down," the man repeated. He stashed the gun in his pocket and collapsed into an aisle seat.
"That was easier than I thought."
Just then the plane started to dive sharply.
MBL Headquarters, MBL's world:
Medusa Lass had ordered Time Trustee Tempus to build and install another monitor screen in the headquarters, then sent the time-traveling talos off on a mission.
Now, speaking to the distorted image of a face on the newly reinstalled monitor screen, Medusa Lass said, "All is going as planned, love. TTT is under my control and is on the mission I sent him out to accomplish. I miss you, lover... Unfortunately, the MBL's arsenal was hidden from us before they left for your world. But I don't think we'll necessarily need that arsenal, for we have a much-better arsenal to take over this world with..."
Her head kicked back, and she indulged herself in some seriously diabolical laughter.
A mysterious figure watched from the shadows.
Hmm, he thought, I don't think I have the power to stop Medusa Lass on my own, not with Tempus under her spell, anyway. The big question is, should I summon the MBL back to this world? No, I'd have to wait until their mission is over there. But I wonder if I should warn them. After all, I don't know what Medusa Lass has planned for them after this world is under her control. She may feel the need to eliminate their threat before they return. I guess the only thing I can do is warn them and try my best to stop her plan here before it's too late!
