Ace- La Machine?!? We have to go now.

(young)- What? But we haven't done anyth-

Ace- Now!

(young)- But I think we can tak-

Ace- NOW!

Away from the fight and back at the Ambassadors office...

CJ- Well this is certainly unexpected. What do you think caused him to go all "Lex Luthor".

552- Could be mind control by the CSF. Or a robot. Or maybe an evil clone!

CJ- Nah. Sound too cliche to me.

552- Maybe it was his transformation over to Vegi-La!

Ace- That would explain it...

Wednesday- This is impossible! It can't be La Machine! He wouldn't do this! He couldn't!

552- I'm sorry Wednesday... but it looks that way. And if it is true that he's turned I'm afraid we're going to have to take him down.

(young)- Well that shouldn't be to hard. La always has been a few cards short of a full deck.

Ace- No. La may act like a complete idiot sometimes but don't let that fool you. If you think this is going to be a piece of cake you're severly mistaken and underestimating him way too much. I always have felt he was one of the more powerful members of the team, even moreso now with his new Vegi-powers.

CJ- So, then how are we supposed to stop him?

552- It won't be easy. Especially if he's in league with the CSF.

Ace- Yeah, and if I'm right about this then we're going to need help. A lot of help.

....hmmm.....

(Ace grins)

Wednesday- A-a-a-c-e-e... what's that smile on you're face? Tell me you're not thinking what I think you're thinking...

Ace- Oh I'm thinking... Were going to need....

Wednesday- Don't say it!

Ace- ...a membership drive.

Wednesday- (sigh) He said it...

Alrighty then. RM go get the Ambassador. Tell him we'll need to set up an impromptu membership drive and to round up all of the heroes here in Big City.
