I… cannot… move!!
Dude, Halloween’s over, get out of that suit!
mm... mpf!!
Havok… We couldn’t save him!
Pull… Harder!!
It’s not over, Linda… It’s not over…
?!
This is just crazy…
?! If at least I knew where I was going…
Drat! The engine’s off…
C’mon, don’t tell me I’m running out of gas 3000 feet in the air…
… oh well, I am. Don’t even know where I’ll land --
Like many rivers crossing large metropolitan areas, Clint River hides its share of surprises…
… mostly beneath the surface, where only the foolhardy dare go…
Damn that bastard’s heavy!
a few moments later, in zlatar’s secret base...
He certainly is. Ever thought of dieting, Copper?
Enough of that lip, Mummy Dearest!
Colin and Eliott… What’s up, losers? Even TVInfomercials won’t get you some bread now?
Waitamminit… You did all this just to rip my clothes off…
...
clic
…When I’d gladly shove my dirty socks down your throats?!
sna p Never say never, though… I feel like giving out.
Now open wide, pretty b –-
Was that enough for you, Copper… Or do you need a grown-up prescription?
KKKGH !
nyyaaah ! zatman!!
I wonder why they even chose you…
Worse spots than… that?
Meanwhile… You’re gonna be O.K.?
Oh, poop. I need to get patched up, quick.
I’ve been in worse spots…
Er… Chloé, honey? I, er… I can’t make it to dinner toni –-
Got the fastest car in Clint City, babe. I’ll get you to the Rescues in no time and you can tell me what you know on the way.
You’re on a drinking binge with Copper, again!
No, sweetie, I swear! I’m with Linda – no!! I mean, I’m…
Just got one thing to do first.
W-wait a minute, honey… I-I hear several Nightmare goons bothering… er… an old lady. Gotta go, love you, bye!
Linda?!? Who’s Linda?!? HAAAV
OOOKK !!
You should hear her when she is pissed off…
Now I know why you can handle yourself in a fight.
Now, how about a quick recap before you bleed your heart dry?
Nice. Lost Hog asked me to find out about these black ninjas…
He says they use the techniques of Kinjo and Ashigaru…
… but since they’ve both gone missing, that’s unlikely…
The Rescues’ Hospital. Don’t have to be a ninja to throw a shuriken.
I threw a spy-star on Copper… It’s a tracer. It will… help us…
…f-find where…
linda!
Look alive, people, got an emergency here!
Oh, good, I was starting to get bored!
Later…
Say, the Rescues’ got their plate full…
?!
... mm... Yep… Lots of fighting in the streets tonight.
Girl, you’re even prettier with your eyes open!
You’re getting old, handsome… … told me the exact same crap 30 minutes ago!
It appears all the other clans have been attacked by those same ninjas. Many of us are missing.
That…
copper.
Our leaders, our masters, our most experienced fighters… What are we gonna do?
No, he’s right. We still have a lot of valuable teammates…
MISSING
tanaereva.
MISSI
ha! No sweat, baby.
…breaking news: Eyrton has been reported missing as well…
NG
… that’s just the most important members of each clan!
bodenpower.
MISSING The A-Team might be out, but there’s still the B-Team!
… we will cover this event in the 11:00 PM report…
Hey! I pity the fool who calls me “B-Team”!!
In other news, the city hall and Z Corp have finally reached to an agreement…
There you go! Eyrton is out as well! Of course. Why would the All-Stars be spared?
And we have the tracer to take those Dudikoff-wannabes by surprise.
We won’t be either if we don’t get ready to kick ass!
Chill out. We already are ready.
Boys and girls, here are our new best friends… … the aforementioned B-Team!
uranus...
shakra...
... and burger...
hey!
Hi there.
You already know Blaaster, the prince of sound! They took mah’ man Bodenpower… I can’t go for that!
Svelthlana, the aristocrat of acrobatics!
charlie’s off the map. I just have to find her!
burger!
shakra!
uranus!
We miss the guidance of our Phytoplanktonian Guru. He must be brought back.
General is the best leader I ever had, and I don’t feel like changing!
Kiki is a symbol of hope to us all. I will never abandon him.
And I know you might find it strange, but…
Wait, there’s more!
… our last teammate will be Maciej, of the Freaks!
Oh, c’mon! The man’s a lunatic!
Count me out.
What?!
We need one last member to complete the team.
Chill out, people.
We need a class-A driver.
All right, Havok… But don’t complain if that crazy mofo burns your truck to a crisp.
And none of you can drive a truck, right?
heh heh heh!
ha h a!
Svelthlana and Linda might get a kick out of Blaaster’s legendary bonhomie…
But soon enough…
… they will find out…
… that the situation they’re in is no laughing matter! To be continued!
