(Zoologist abandoned laboratory)

Boss: Hiding under the seats of a hundred people. I used to have the power over this city in my hands. Now it is gone because of the Trackers. But if I go down, so do the Trackers and everybody who loves them in the city will suffer.

Prime City, Tom's House

(Jason, Tom, and Max watching the news)

News: The whole world was shocked that a horror turned into a return for the original AA. After they returned the got back to work defending most of the cities from crime and harm. Many heroes are glad to have their return but those who appear after they left it aren't looking good,we don't need the extra heroes. This would include the Trackers who were also the ones the AA saved.

(Tom's Mom, Betty, walks in)

Betty: It seems like the world is going back to normal, isn't it Tom.

Tom: As normal as it can get.

Betty: With the original AA back the Trackers and other heroes can take a break.

(Betty walks away)

Jason: Well despite the situation the Trackers were in I'm glad they original AA are back.

Tom: Me too, especially since it means Max can meant his long lost uncle.

Max: It might be awarded I not only have to get my parents but I also have to reveal my identity to him. I hope he will believe me.

Jason: I hope Lucy isn't having that trouble with Valhalla Valkyrie.

AA Base

(Mega and her team sitting outside meeting room)

Singularity: This feels familiar.

Flash Fire: Waiting outside for the AA to call us.

Alloy: They saved the world hundred time will have plenty of time to spend with them.

Root: Agreed.

Singularity: You were always the teacher's pet.

Mega Girl: Guys focus we have to show them we're became real heroes while they were gone.

Root: When do we need proof of that to anyone?

(Door opens)

(Mega Girl and the Team walks in)

(E Man, Valhalla Valkyrie, Steel, and Thunder sitting down)

Mega Girl: Your call us.

E Man: We reviewed the incidents you and your team solved them.

Valhalla Valkyrie: And we have losts to say.

Alloy: What do you want to say, sir.

Steel: We are impressed your training did you all good.

Alloy: Thank you sir.

Mega Girl: We worked hard.

Valhalla Valkyrie: Of course you did, it wouldn't been wrong if you worked hard enough.

Thunder: And we're not done talking yet.

Root: Continue.

E Man: We heard you had help from other heroes.

Flash Fire: Yes, Our representative thought we needed help from the rising threats.

Valhalla Valkyrie: If you all handle your safety better he wouldn't think you needed it.

(Mega Girl and her team look frustrated)

E Man: One of the heroes is a team called the Trackers.

(AA put holograms of the Trackers)

(Steel looking at Mech's hologram)

Thunder: We allowed masked heroes to still exist because they stayed out of the big problems but this group does not where stop.

Singularity: We had our problems with them to but save as much lives as we do.

Mega Girl: They are just as much heroes as we are.

E Man: Then we overestimate you. We will talk about this later.

(Mega Girl and her team walk out)

Flash Fire: Is it me or was that more rough than usual.

Alloy: It isn't just you.

Mega Girl: Or maybe we disappointed them that badly.

Prime City, Tracker's Lair

(Jason, Tom, and Max checking city scanners)

Max: The city is quieter than usual. 

Tom: The crooks are scared that AA are back.

Jason: Kind of makes you think if we are needed anymore.

(Ground shack)

Tom: I don't like jinxes.

Max: Scanners are picking up unnatural earthquakes all around the city. Plus an alarm at Damage Tech.

Jason: That is definitely related. Let's go team.

Damaged Tech

(Trackers fly in the hole in the building)

(Peter Crest and employees trapped in a force field)

Half: Peter Crest what happened.

(Peter trying to talk but no sound)

Mech: The energy cage must block sound.

Power: What do you think they're saying?

(Tentacles grab and trap the Trackers)

Half: It was a trap.

(Boss, in a robot suit, walks in)

Boss: It's been a long time, boys, have you missed me.

Half: The Boss!

Power: Being trapped by tentacles is not going make me say yes.

Mech: How did this thing not trigger Half senses.

Boss: The Zoologist made these things from rare octopus and jellyfish species with enhanced stealth and chemicals that would catch you off for even a second.

Power: Is it me that is this kind of hot?

Boss: They are also poisonous and slowly eating your strength.

Half: Poison keeps us down for long.

Boss: Long enough.

(More shaking)

Mech: You're causing the earthquakes.

Boss: You aren't the only one who's great with machines. I borrowed parts from old friends of ours to create four vibration machines that will destroy the city. Now the city that started your hero career will be your end.

Half: Not today it isn't.

(Mech using his powers on the tentacles)

(Boss about fire on the Trackers with a energy blaster)

(Half uses a low sonic war to knock out of his hands)

(Mech shrinks the tentacles and free them)

(Power throws his staff and destroys the blaster)

Boss: How did you do that, I thought you could only use your power on machines.

Mech: To be fair I can't manipulate the human or animal bodies like machines but controlling mindless organic matter is pretty easy.

(Mech turns off the cage holding the hostages)

Half: Run.

(People run away)

Boss: It doesn't matter if the whole city is doomed but you're dead first.

(Boss about attack the Trackers)

(Trackers about to fight)

(Thunder shoots a powerful lightning blast that knockout the Boss)

(AA fly in)

Power: Thanks.

Mech: The shaking stopped.

Valhalla Valkyrie: Because we took care of the vibrations machines.

Half: Looks like we won.

Steel: No, we won and saved the city.

Power: You might have stopped the machines but we would have stopped the Boss and saved the people in here.

E Man: He only did it to get back at you. If you aren't capable of handling yourself you shouldn't be a hero.

Half: Me and my team have saved a lot of people in the past.

E Man: Does that matter if you don't save people in the present. That makes a real hero.

(AA takes the Boss away)

Mech: I can't tell if that hurt because of how he said that or if it was true.

Half: Both.

AA Base

(AA near there spaceship)

(AA taking the vibration machines in their ship)

(Singularity spying on them with her portal)

Alloy: What do you see?

Singularity: Something not heroic.
