The Ban-She (a SheZow fic)

	Megamonkey stared in awe at what had just happened. Out of nowhere, a huge structure had fallen from the sky and crashed just a few kilometers from his lair, which put it quite far from Megadale itself. He had been alerted of a large falling object by his monitors and alarms, but expected something more along the lines of a meteor. Megamonkey grabbed a remote off of the table and pointed it at one of the many monitors in the room, pressing buttons until it displayed a view of the outside. A few more button presses were all it took to adjust the screen's view to be looking in the proper direction and zoom in far enough. "Heh heh heh...HAHAHAHA! Technology! Raw materials!" Frantically feeling around on his chair's buttons, he pushed one. "Virunga! Prepare a freight container and bring it out to the lot!"
	"Right away, Boss," came the reply of Megamonkey's gorilla henchman through a speaker.
	A few monkey minions were loitering in the main chamber. Megamonkey cleared his throat and looked at them. One of the monkeys had his finger up his own nose. "If you want to do some DIGGING, then do it at the crash site!" Megamonkey told. The monkey in question removed his finger and saluted. "The lot of you, come with me to the roof!" Forming a single file, the monkeys followed Megamonkey down the hall to the elevator. Megamonkey pressed the button, but nothing happened. Trying it once more, he waited for about a minute, tapping his foot. He looked at the monkey minions accompanying him. "And WHY hasn't this been fixed yet?" One of the monkeys looked at him and shrugged, to which Megamonkey responded by bopping said monkey on the head with his scepter. Grumbling, Megamonkey headed toward the stairs with the monkey minions still in tow.

	At the Megadale police station, Kelly flew the She-C-10 down low. She used its mechanical arms to lower SheZow, who held the captured Dr. Frankenweather, as well as Maz in his Prisonerd costume, who held Dr. Frankenweather's lightning twister gun. SheZow gripped Dr. Frankenweather's arm tightly as he guided him into the station.
	"OW! Easy with the handness!" Dr. Frankenweather protested.
	SheZow ignored him as he made eye contact with one of the officers on duty. Fortunately, Boxter was not at the station. "Hello, officers! I brought you a villain to arrest!"
	One of the officers grabbed Maz and was about to cuff him. Maz panicked. "No, not me, him!" Maz informed as he pointed at Dr. Frankenweather.
	"Yeah, that's my new sidekick, the...Prisonerd." SheZow groaned after speaking Maz's sidekick persona's name aloud. "It's this guy here, Dr. Frankenweather! He's a kidnapper, and he tried to destroy Megadale with a lightning twister!"
	"That's all a bunch of lies!" Dr. Frankenweather contradicted.
	"Then whaddya call THIS?!" Maz demanded, holding up the lightning twister gun.
	"That's...." Dr. Frankenweather paused, looking a little nervous. "That's a toaster oven."
	Maz grinned. "Oh yeah? Well, let's see what happens when I pre--" Maz's plan was stopped as SheZow snatched the weapon from Maz's hands.
	"You can't fire it in here!" SheZow yelled.
	"Oh, right. Hahahaha..." Maz scratched his head and avoided eye contact with SheZow. No longer restrained by SheZow, Dr. Frankenweather tried to run, but one of the officers grabbed him.
	The officer holding Dr. Frankenweather looked at SheZow. "We'll keep him in holding for now while we test that weapon in a safer location. If it's dangerous, that and your testimony will be pretty much all the proof we need."
	"Oh, another thing!" Maz added. "He had a floating lab. It crashed somewhere outside town, though. Might want to check it out."
	"We can have Officer Hamdon and Officer Wackerman look into it," the officer replied. "Can you be more specific as to the location?"
	"Not really. Just a bunch of sand and rocks out there, and like...ONE road." Maz explained. "There's probably smoke coming from it, still."
	"They're big boys, Prisonerd. They can find it. It's not exactly small," SheZow pointed out. "Now, let's go before one of them tries to arrest you again." SheZow took Maz's hand and pulled him toward the front door as two officers led Dr. Frankenweather to an empty holding cell.
	"You haven't seen the last of me, SheZowness!" Dr. Frankenweather shouted in SheZow's direction. After stepping outside, SheZow grabbed Maz with both arms and hopped up onto the hovering She-C-10 with him. Kelly opened the cockpit to let them both in before closing it once more and flying back toward the She-Lair.

	"Pilot! We're picking up a freight container and Virunga before we head to the crash site," Megamonkey informed as he sat down in his helicopter's co-pilot seat. In addition to the monkey pilot, there were two monkey soldiers manning the helicopter's turrets, four more armed with laser guns, and a team of eight monkey minions who would be doing a lot of the scavenging work. The pilot got the helicopter into the air before descending down the side of the lair, heading for the freight container that Virunga had set up. As the helicopter got close, Virunga jumped up and grabbed onto the helicopter's struts. The helicopter's winch was deployed, and used to pick up the freight container before the helicopter began gaining altitude again.

	"I can't believe this! We have to drive all the way out of town just to investigate something that SheCow reported? 'Floating lab', yeah, right," Boxter groaned as he drove the police car further away from Megadale. He glanced over at his partner, Wackerman, who looked quite relaxed, leaning back in the passenger seat.
	"Maybe it's a UFO!" Wackerman suggested. "Make sure you get a picture of me with the aliens."
	"Hey, Wackerman....look up there," Boxter pointed toward the sky in the distance.
	"Oh, a helicopter. Is it one of ours?"
	"Don't think so. It's bigger. And it's carrying some sort of heavy load."
	"Maybe it's heading for the UFO!" Wackerman commented.
	"It's not a UFO, and I refuse to believe ShePlow's story, either," Boxter insisted. "But I'm curious about the helicopter. I'm gonna follow it."

	"Toaster oven!" Guy exclaimed. He burst out laughing and rolled around on the floor of the She-Lair.
	"He's supposed to be some sort of genius and THAT'S the best he could come up with!" Maz laughed. He had already changed back into his usual clothes.
	"Okay, okay...it was funny the first five times. It's getting old now," Kelly pointed out.
	"So, what happened to the floating lab?" Sheila asked.
	"....Huh?" Kelly stared blankly at Sheila's monitor.
	"The LAB. The entire reason Dr. Frankenweather willingly went with you all is because it was falling from the sky, am I right?" Sheila continued.
	"It landed out in the desert somewhere. I think the police are gonna check it out," Maz explained. "....Wait, wasn't it your dad that was going to be sent to do that, Guy?"
	"Oh, well that's just gravy. Let's hope Megamonkey doesn't mind the company," Sheila commented. Guy, Maz, and Kelly all stared in shock. "What, did you all forget where Megamonkey set up shop?"
	"I've gotta help Dad! You go, girl!" Guy transformed into SheZow and made his way toward the Shehicle.
	"Don't get ahead of yourself. I can find the crash site with the SheZow satellite and keep watch. I honestly don't think Megamonkey will do anything to endanger your father, but I know that you'll just go charging in if I don't do at least this much for you," Sheila explained.
	SheZow looked back at Sheila. "But--"
	"Stay put. You JUST fought a battle less than an hour ago. Take it easy for a while and leave this to me," Sheila insisted.
	Maz walked over to SheZow and put his hands on SheZow's shoulders. "It'll be fine!" Maz assured. "Your dad's tough. Remember how he beat up Candy Rapper?"
	"Huh? Oh, yeah! That WAS pretty sweet," SheZow replied.
	Kelly ran her fingers through her hair as a sour expression appeared on her face. "Blech. I could use a shower. It still feels like gum." She looked over at SheZow. "Want to keep my spot warm while I go clean up?"
	"Sure thing, sis." SheZow walked over to the chair in front of Sheila that Kelly usually used, and sat down after Kelly got up and headed out of the She-Lair. Maz sat down beside him.
	"I like how you're not changing back," Maz commented, grinning.
	"Huh? Oh, right! She-yeah!" SheZow turned back into Guy before leaning back in the chair and putting his feet up.
	"Take those feet off. Now," Sheila told.
	"Okay, okay..." Guy sighed.

	Arriving at the crash site, Megamonkey chuckled as he looked down at the area below. The lab itself was still partially functional, and was creating clouds. The clouds were quickly amassing, obscuring the lab itself from view and spreading out. "Okay, take us down. Drop the container right around here," Megamonkey ordered. The pilot nodded and hit a button, sending the container plummeting toward the ground. It connected with a loud crash, sending a cloud of dust up into the air. Megamonkey glared at the pilot, who in turn pointed right at him. The pilot then looked back at what he was doing, and retracted the helicopter's winch as he adjusted their course slightly. Once the helicopter was around twenty meters from the ground, Virunga let go of the struts and landed next to the freight container. The pilot then guided the helicopter to a clear area, positioned in between the crash site and the road leading through the area, and landed. Fortunately, the road itself had not been damaged or blocked by any falling debris. Megamonkey, the four armed monkey soldiers, and the monkey minion scavenging team disembarked and headed over to the crash site, meeting up with Virunga.
	"We're going to need more than one container for this," Virunga pointed out.
	"Of COURSE we will. But we're not taking every single thing. A lot of this is simply not salvageable," Megamonkey explained. "Once we get this container filled, I'll have the pilot take you and it back to my lair. You can prepare another container while my minions there sort through this first one. We'll keep going until I'm satisfied."
	Virunga eyed the monkey soldiers' laser guns. "Why the weapons? You think there's going to be action out here? It's the middle of nowhere."
	Megamonkey groaned before pointing at the crash site. "You see THAT? We'll be lucky if it's just police that show up. There are probably quite a few who would want whatever technology was used to keep it in the air, or the weapons on board. In addition to the heavy lifting, that's the OTHER reason I brought you along."
	Virunga nodded. "Right. Use me as you will."
	"I intend to. For now, leave most of this to the scavengers. If they ask for help moving something heavy, help them," Megamonkey told.

	Boxter and Wackerman were almost at the area where the helicopter landed. As they got closer and the area was no longer obscured by rocks, the two officers could see nothing but a large gathering of clouds at ground level. Boxter accelerated. "Hey, slow down, there!" Wackerman told.
	"You got the camera?" Boxter asked.
	"Yeah. What, did you want a picture with the aliens, too?" Wackerman asked with a grin.
	"Ha ha," Boxter scoffed, narrowing his eyes as the car approached the crash site. "Let's just be careful. Whatever it is, it could still be dangerous."
	"Wanna turn around, or at least call for backup?"
	"It's not worth endangering more officers for a pile of junk. We're just going to get the evidence so we can lock up that quack, and leave. That's all."

	Megamonkey could hear the sound of a car having pulled up close. "Hah, so they finally arrived," Megamonkey commented. Boxter and Wackerman stepped out of the car and began walking toward the clouded crash site.
	Virunga growled and clenched his fists. "Do you want me to kill them? Or just cripple them so we can hold them hostage?"
	"Idiot. Don't go overboard. Just knock them out and don't let them see you; use the clouds," Megamonkey ordered. Virunga nodded and listened well, positioning himself so that he would be able to blindside both of the officers without being seen.
	"Hey, Hamdon, do you hear anything?" Wackerman asked.
	"I hear YOU," Boxter replied.
	"No, not that. I heard other voices, and footsteps," Wackerman informed. Megamonkey quickly moved away and hid himself among the debris.
	"I heard something just now," Boxter confirmed. He drew his gun. "Keep sharp." Wackerman nodded and drew his own gun. The two of them stayed close and watched each other's backs. They were almost deep enough into the clouds to see the monkeys, but before they got that close, Virunga grabbed a rock from the ground and threw it, aiming in the direction of the road.
	"Behind us?" Wackerman quickly spun around, surprised. Boxter looked that way as well, but saw nothing. Suddenly, Virunga made his move; he tackled both officers to the ground, knocking the guns from their hands. Before either of them realized what had happened, Virunga hit both of them in the head, taking care to hold back and use only enough strength to knock them unconscious as per Megamonkey's orders.
	"Boss, I got 'em!" Virunga exclaimed.
	Megamonkey emerged from his hiding spot and joined Virunga in looking down at the two officers. "Megadale's finest? Listen. I need you to put their guns back in their holsters, then put both of these officers back into their car. After that, take the car and move it away from here, out of view of the clouds. I don't know how long the clouds will last, and I don't want them to be able to get back here without the car's noise alerting us," Megamonkey instructed. Virunga scratched his head. "Did you need me to REPEAT that?"
	"No, no. I got it. But Boss, why go to all the trouble? They're weak, I'm strong. I could make the police disappear if you asked."
	"I'm not out to MAKE enemies. The police won't touch me as it stands. S.I.C.K. was nothing but others committing crimes, Tara has too much pride to ever testify against me, the following battle took place out here well away from the city, and my attempt on SheZow's life happened back in another time period."
	"You should have brought ME with you for that!" Virunga growled. "Even if there were four SheZows, as long as I'm here, even a hundred SheZows is nothing!"
	"Which is why you lost to the present day SheZow, even with the home base advantage and many soldiers at your disposal?" Megamonkey asked. Virunga angrily stomped on the ground. "Now, now, I don't hold that against you. SheZow is a strong opponent. I didn't bring you because I needed you to remain at the lair in case of any troublemakers...Tara might have come back looking for revenge, who knows? The damage to the lair from that one battle was...extensive, and I didn't want to take any chances." Megamonkey paused. "Getting back to what I was saying before, other than those few instances, everything I do is discreet. Weapons dealing, smuggling, really just sources of income," Megamonkey explained. "My top priority must always be SheZow. And perhaps that pigtailed girl who got spotted by the cameras when we had kidnapped Tara, and Tara herself, of course. Once the strong ones are out of the way, I can start operating out in the open more, and eventually take over Megadale."
	"I see," Virunga replied.
	"Until then, I don't need more thorns in my side, so try to refrain from damaging the city too much if you can help it," Megamonkey added. "The last thing I need is for things to escalate to the point where the military starts bombing my lair. Now go clean up that mess, and then get back to helping the team." Virunga nodded in response.

	Sheila sighed. "Those clouds are a bit...problematic. Your father and his colleague went into the cloud, but haven't come back out yet."
	"Oh man, oh man....I bet something bad happened. Like land mines or something!" Guy suggested.
	"Don't you think any LAND MINES would have been set off by the giant lab that just smashed into the area?" Sheila asked.
	"Oh...good point," Guy agreed.
	"Any chance of Megamonkey wanting to get his hands on some of Dr. Frankenweather's stuff?" Maz asked.
	"Not a clue. All WE can do is play it by ear," Sheila told. "It's doubtful he'd be able to scavenge anything really dangerous, especially since you turned in that lightning twister gun to the police. Raw materials, perhaps."
	"Ugh...I wish we could've captured him that one time. It was all going so well," Guy sighed. "Well, no point over-thinking it. C'mon, Maz, let's see what's on TV." Guy stood up and walked over to the couch, vaulted over the back, and landed on it. Maz joined him as Guy turned the TV on and began changing channels. "Hey! Nice! Buttwipe is on! Check it out, someone was driving and texting at the same time, and they crashed into a bus! HAHAHA!"
	"Guy, that's not Buttwipe, that's the news," Maz corrected.
	Guy tilted his head and shrugged. "It's still funny."

	Megamonkey kept Virunga and the scavenging team working around the clock, and thus was able to scrounge all of the materials he needed by 3 AM the next day. Every person that got too close, police or otherwise, was knocked out either by Virunga or the monkey soldiers' laser guns' stun blasts, and moved to various locations in the area out of each others' view. At this point, Megamonkey was in his workshop, taking a look at the mostly intact robot he had managed to obtain from the destroyed lab. "Hmmm....the head is too big and exposes too much, the hands lack opposable thumbs, and the arms and legs need more armor. Furthermore, where are the WEAPONS?!" Megamonkey complained.
	Virunga stood next to him, wobbling slightly. "Will you need my help here as well?"
	"At some point, but--wait. Why are you still awake? You've been using your super strength a lot. Get some sleep," Megamonkey advised.
	"I can still--"
	"SLEEP!" Megamonkey ordered. Virunga sighed and walked over to the corner of the workshop, sat down, leaned against the corner of the room and shut his eyes. Megamonkey rubbed his own eyes before slapping himself in the face. "Work to be done, yes." He looked over at the robot head that he had finished working on a few days back, before Dr. Frankenweather had come into the picture. Compared to the head of Dr. Frankenweather's robot, this one was about half the size, lacked visible facial features such as eyes and a mouth. It could still see, but its main camera was protected by a visor. "It shouldn't be hard to make you compatible." Sitting down at a computer, he opened a program containing the robot's original blueprints, and made a copy. Rubbing his eyes again, Megamonkey began making edits to the copy, incorporating Dr. Frankenweather's robot into it in order to save on time and resources. A group of monkeys entered the room, most of whom wore overalls and carried tool boxes, and the rest wearing lab coats. One of the lab coat monkeys walked over to Megamonkey, climbed onto his shoulder, and looked at the screen. "You're all here, finally? Start by stripping the parts off of the robot that we're replacing. Take a finger from each hand, as well; we can re-position them as thumbs so that it can grab things more easily." The lab coat monkey nodded and jumped off of Megamonkey's shoulder, motioning for the others to begin to work. The overalls monkeys did the manual labor while the lab coat monkeys either supervised or typed away on computers.  "Don't bother trying to incorporate the boron nitride armor plating until Virunga wakes up. He'll be able to manage it more easily."

	Around four hours later, Boxter and Wackerman awoke, both sitting in their car. Wackerman groaned and rubbed his forehead. He looked from side to side. "Hey, Hamdon....we....we didn't go out drinking after work, did we?"
	Boxter took a look out the car's front window. "Wait, we were on our way to some...what was it again? Flying lab?"
	"Dogs don't fly, genius," Wackerman pointed out.
	"LABORATORY, Mr. Literal," Boxter corrected. He started up the car and began driving forward. After just a minute or so of driving, they arrived at the crash site. The clouds had vanished, and there was still a lot of wreckage that Megamonkey hadn't bothered with due to time constraints. Never having seen the entire lab, the two officers had no idea it had been scavenged.
	"Hey, look!" Wackerman exclaimed, pointing at the road ahead. "There's someone there! And one over there, too!"
	"Better let HQ know," Boxter advised. "Let's do what we can until the paramedics show up. We can get pictures of the crash site after."

	A week passed. Megamonkey kept his team fresh by utilizing two teams of overalls monkeys and lab coat monkeys working in twelve-hour shifts. Although Virunga was instructed to ensure he gets his sleep, Megamonkey himself even stayed up all night a few times in order to speed things along. The new head had been incorporated into the robot, the arms and legs had two sections of boron nitride armor plating each, and each of the hands still had just three digits, but had been re-configured into a two-finger, one-thumb setup. Each forearm had a mounted laser blade emitter that could utilize blades around the size of SheZow's Laser Lipstick, and attached to the robot's back and pointing over its shoulders were a pair of twin laser cannons, capable of firing more powerful blasts than Megamonkey's scepter could. In addition, it was capable of using an invisibility field, which Megamonkey had previously tested in watch form. It stood around twelve feet tall, and had been given a new paint job as well, consisting mainly of black and dark purple, with a few details in light green. "Heh heh heh..." Megamonkey chuckled, looking over his creation.
	Virunga woke up. He stretched and yawned. "Ugh. What time is it?"
	"Time for SheZow to die!" Megamonkey exclaimed.
	Standing up, Virunga looked at the robot. "So, this is it?"
	"Yes. This is the Ban-She, my anti-SheZow robot."
	"The 'Ban-She'? THAT'S its name?" Virunga asked, groaning.
	"YES! A banshee is a death omen! There were military craft named after it as well! Not to mention the irony of--" Megamonkey paused, realizing he was beginning to ramble when there was work to be done. Virunga stared blankly as Megamonkey cleared his throat. "Now, the next step is to...to..." Megamonkey lost his footing and fell onto the floor face first, not moving. Shortly after, he could be heard snoring.
	"Hey, Boss," Virunga went to try to wake him up, but some of the monkeys got in the way and shook their heads. "Alright, whatever you say. Let's get the mess cleaned up. After that, we can work on the lair some more until the boss wakes up," Virunga instructed. The monkeys saluted and got to work.

	Megamonkey slept for 16 hours straight. When he woke up, it was 2 AM. He looked around the room, seeing just a few monkey minions keeping watch. He stood up, grabbed his scepter, and pressed a button on the wall. "Virunga! Get in here and report!"
	A minute later, Virunga entered the room. "I've had the monkeys working on the lair. Got a crew fixing that elevator as well. It'll probably take a while, though."
	"Right. Very good," Megamonkey commented. He looked at the clock. "Perfect. What do you say we give this Ban-She a test run?" Walking over to a control console that was connected to the Ban-She and a rather large power generator by several cables, Megamonkey pressed a few buttons. The Ban-She activated as the cables connected to it detached.
	"BAN-SHE MK-1 ACTIVATED. ALL SYSTEMS NORMAL," came the monotonous voice of the Ban-She. Megamonkey jogged over to the wall opposite the door and pressed a button near the corner. The wall itself opened, exposing that entire side of the room to the outside. It was still dark out.
	"Ban-She, proceed to the clearing over there and await further directions," Megamonkey ordered, pointing to an area in the desert. He then turned to Virunga. "As for you, come with me to the roof. We'll be flying there and doing some tests; perhaps a mock battle." Virunga nodded and followed Megamonkey out of the room as the Ban-She jumped out of the lair. Utilizing the same technology that allowed Dr. Frankenweather's floating laboratory to float, it slowed its descent on the way down to the ground. Although the Ban-She could not fly for extended periods in the interest of energy conservation, its abilities were enough to control its course in mid-air after a jump or to recover from a fall. After making contact with the ground, it ran toward the area Megamonkey indicated, jumping over any large rocks that were in the way. Around ten minutes later, it was joined by Megamonkey and Virunga, who had come by way of helicopter.

	In the She-Lair, Sheila had kept monitoring the crash site and the surrounding area, including Megamonkey's lair, via the SheZow satellite. "You all ought to see this, Megamonkey has built a--" Sheila paused when she realized that there was no one else in the She-Lair; Guy and Kelly were both asleep in their rooms, and Maz had gone home hours ago. "Right. No sense waking them up; Megamonkey isn't technically doing anything EVIL, yet. Though I'd still love to throw him a curve ball. With SheZow asleep, I guess I can't throw him two balls...have to settle for one."

	Extremely girly music was blasting from a boombox on the roof of a building in downtown Megadale. Dancing to it was SheBang, who would periodically mix things up by firing a few shots from his Laser Hair Dryer at random buildings. By now, people knew to be careful whenever SheBang was around; some took detours to avoid him. "I love this song!" SheBang exclaimed.
	"Alright, enough fun, down to business," Sheila told, her hologram emitting from SheBang's wrist.
	"Oh, it's YOU again," SheBang muttered, pouting.
	"Don't be like that, you got something out of it last time," Sheila reminded, recalling the time when the plan to kill Tara was foiled when SheBang knocked himself out with his own Long-Haired Super She-Spin.
	SheBang turned off the boombox before firing a few more random shots, and then put the Laser Hair Dryer away. "Well, what do you want?"
	"Remember where I sent you last time? You're going to go there again. Megamonkey's built a robot, and I want you to attack it," Sheila instructed. "If you lose, you lose, it's no big deal. I mainly want to test its capabilities against someone with powers comparable to SheZow's."
	"And what's in it for me?" SheBang asked.
	"Hmmm...why don't we leave that up to you? Do this for me, and I'll answer any two questions you have for me," Sheila offered.
	SheBang smiled. "I like. I'll go pay Megamonkey a visit." At that point, SheBang teleported, heading for the desert.

	"Ban-She, activate your laser blades," Megamonkey instructed.
	"AFFIRMATIVE," the Ban-She replied. It raised its arms slightly as the blades materialized from the emitters on its forearms.
	"Good, good. Now, target that mountain in the distance," Megamonkey ordered, pointing at a mountain opposite the direction of Megadale. "Fire at it with your laser cannons."
	"AFFIRMATIVE." After deactivating the laser blades, the Ban-She adjusted its laser cannons, aiming at the mountain that Megamonkey indicated. It fired, blasting four large holes in the mountain.
	"Heh heh heh..." Megamonkey rubbed his hands together in glee. "Let's shoot something else!" At that moment, SheBang appeared behind the group and fired a charged shot from his Laser Hair Dryer at the Ban-She's back. It was sent staggering, but there was no visible damage due to its thick, sturdy armor. The rotors of Megamonkey's helicopter began to spin as the pilot and gunners prepared to join the battle.
	"What the?!" SheBang stared in disbelief at one of his strongest attacks having had no effect.
	"YOU!" Megamonkey shouted. "You think I don't know what you did to my soldiers? Virunga, destroy her immediately!" Virunga pounded his chest and roared, before lunging at SheBang, who teleported above him and put the Laser Hair Dryer away. SheBang landed on Virunga's shoulders and wrapped his arms around Virunga's neck, attempting to strangle him. Megamonkey looked at the Ban-She, which had regained balance. "You'll have a turn as well. I just wanted to let Virunga blow off some steam."
	"You're just a human girl. Even if you have super strength!!" Virunga yelled, reaching back and grabbing SheBang around the waist, squeezing hard and causing SheBang to cry out in pain. He lifted SheBang up over his head and held him so that their eyes met. "Don't your types ever get the hint that there's no such thing as someone who's stronger than I AM?!"
	"Oh, I just had a flash of inspiration!" Megamonkey exclaimed. "Let's ask our pigtailed princess where the She-Lair is! Virunga, hold her still, but make sure she can still breathe and talk."
	Virunga turned SheBang around so that he was facing Megamonkey. "Owww...." SheBang cried. "Why couldn't you guys at least be human, not apes? It's no fun getting manhandled by apes..." The helicopter circled around, hovering to SheBang's right. One of the gunners kept the gun he was manning aimed at SheBang.
	Megamonkey smacked SheBang in the forehead with his scepter. "Enough of that. Tell me where the She-Lair is!"
	"Hee hee hee..." SheBang giggled. His right eye glowed orange. Suddenly, he fired a beam at the helicopter from his eye, melting the area of the hull that the primary rotor was attached to. The pilot lost control as the helicopter fell from the sky. Virunga slammed SheBang into the ground before running toward the helicopter, and was able to catch it, averting a crash. The three monkeys that were inside jumped out, and climbed down Virunga before reaching the ground. Virunga set what remained of the helicopter down.
	"Ban-She, engage!" Megamonkey ordered. The Ban-She activated one of its laser blades and swung it at SheBang, who blocked with his Heart Shield. SheBang attempted another Heat Vision Wink, this time aiming at the Ban-She, but it was no use against the armor plating on the opposite arm that the Ban-She used to block the attack. SheBang pushed harder with his left hand, using his super strength to force the Ban-She back. Standing up, SheBang teleported twice, landing on top of the downed helicopter. He ducked inside briefly, then teleported again without being seen by any of his opponents.
	"Tch. Hiding in there, is she?" Virunga growled. "Boss, do you care about the chopper at this point?"
	"YES, I care about the CHOPPER," Megamonkey groaned. "Don't do anything ra--" Megamonkey paused when he heard the sound of the Laser Hair Dryer being fired from a distance behind them. Virunga got in front of Megamonkey and blocked the shots with his body. Virunga cursed in pain. "Ban-She, target that spot and fire!" Readying its laser cannons, the Ban-She fired several shots, but SheBang had already teleported away. "NOW! Stealth mode!" The Ban-She activated its cloaking field, rendering itself invisible. The monkey pilot and two monkey soldiers from the helicopter had readied their own weapons at this point; the soldiers standing next to Megamonkey, and the pilot sitting on Virunga's shoulder. Megamonkey raised his scepter and began firing indiscriminately, sending laser blasts all over the landscape. SheBang emerged from behind a rock and teleported, appearing right in front of Megamonkey and kicking the scepter from his hand.
	"Did your new toy run away? Run out of batteries? Hee hee hee!" SheBang mocked, producing a Shuribbon. Virunga lunged at SheBang, only for SheBang to fling the Shuribbon into Virunga's right thigh.
	"AAAGGGH!" Virunga roared, more in anger than in pain, despite the blood running down his leg. SheBang grabbed Megamonkey and put him in a headlock before he could grab his scepter from the ground.
	"Back off, plane-swatter, before something happens to your boss," SheBang told.
	"Well played," Megamonkey admitted. "You ALMOST got me."
	"Almost?" SheBang looked at him and raised an eyebrow. "I'm pretty sure I got you," SheBang told. Megamonkey smirked as four laser blasts were fired by the invisible Ban-She and hit SheBang in the legs, causing him to cry out in pain and let go of Megamonkey. Taking the opportunity, Megamonkey retrieved his scepter as the Ban-She re-appeared.
	"Yes, this will do nicely. In fact, I don't care about the She-Lair now. Just kill her," Megamonkey ordered. Before the Ban-She could fire again, SheBang teleported away and didn't re-appear. Sighing, Megamonkey looked at Virunga. "I'm going to need you to carry the helicopter. We can repair it back at the lair."
	"On it, Boss," Virunga replied. He approached the helicopter, but as he reached over to grab it, he heard several beeps. Before he could react, the helicopter was enveloped in pink explosions from the Compact Sticky Bombs that SheBang had discreetly planted earlier. Virunga and the monkey pilot were thrown back a distance and tumbled across the sand as pieces of helicopter rained down from above. Megamonkey began swearing up a storm after one of the pieces hit him on the head on the way down. Virunga groaned as he pulled himself up. "That bi--"
	"Well that's just FANTASTIC!" Megamonkey yelled. He kicked a rock in anger. "Do you have any idea how expensive one of those IS?!"
	"Uh...cheaper than the Ban-She?" Virunga asked, scratching his head.
	Megamonkey sighed. "Yes. Cheaper. Than. The Ban-She." He looked over at his group of various minions. "Ban-She, take the head. Virunga, bring up the rear. It appears as though we're WALKING back."
	"AFFIRMATIVE," the Ban-She confirmed.
	Virunga growled as he pulled the Shuribbon out of his leg and tossed it aside. "Tch...alright." The Ban-She walked ahead, followed by Megamonkey and the two monkey soldiers, who kept a watchful eye to the group's right and left. The monkey pilot had climbed back onto Virunga's shoulder as Virunga followed along behind.

	Arriving back in the city, SheBang teleported onto a rooftop, giggling the whole time. "I'd have loved to see the look on his face!" he laughed.
	Sheila appeared before SheBang again. "Somewhat sloppy, but destroying that helicopter will, at the very least, inconvenience Megamonkey. I've got lots of data on that robot, as well. Blades, cannons, invisibility, strong armor."
	"And YOU'RE going to keep your promise, right?" SheBang asked intently.
	"Of course. Two questions. I'm all ears," Sheila confirmed.
	"How did SheZow transform when there was no danger?" SheBang asked, recalling the time when he was tailing SheZow as Morgan.
	"Oh, you SAW that? SheZow's alter-ego can transform into SheZow at will, using the magic words 'You go, girl!'," Sheila explained.
	"Do I also have that ability?" SheBang asked.
	"You do, indeed," Sheila confirmed.
	"Hee hee hee....HAHAHAHAHA! Thanks, sucker! I'm done working for you!" SheBang laughed.
	"We'll see," Sheila replied with a smile. She then vanished. Shebang teleported back to the apartment building rooftop where his makeshift bed and food stash were. Out of danger, SheBang was forcibly transformed back into Morgan.
	Morgan grinned. "Yes! Yes! FINALLY! I don't have to listen to her anymore! You go, girl!" Nothing happened. Morgan blinked before clearing his throat. "YOU GO, GIRL!" Morgan yelled, spinning around. Again, he did not transform. "Wh--WHAT? Why?!" Morgan cringed as tears started to form in his eyes. "I was sooo...close!" He flopped down onto his comforter, suddenly realizing how tired he was.

	An hour later, Megamonkey's group had gotten back to his lair. Lacking a means of air transport, they used the ground entrance; luckily, the elevator had been repaired at this point. The Ban-She found an empty spot among a few cargo trucks and kneeled on the ground, powering down at Megamonkey's request. Megamonkey, Virunga, the monkey pilot, and the two monkey soldiers stepped onto the elevator. "We're going to need to re-locate the Ban-She's control console and that generator to the lower level," Megamonkey told Virunga. "And by we, I mean you. But first, let's get that wound tended to."
	"I'm fine," Virunga informed.
	"You might FEEL fine now, but that's just the adrenaline talking. Not to mention, I don't need you dripping blood everywhere," Megamonkey pointed out. "At least I got all the information I needed. I can make a few small adjustments to the Ban-She's A.I., then it's just a matter of waiting for someone ELSE to start trouble in Megadale."
	"Someone else?" Virunga asked.
	"Yes. I don't want the Ban-She attacking the city itself. JUST SheZow. Remember what I mentioned earlier?" Megamonkey reminded.
	"Right, right." Virunga nodded in response.

	On the way home from school the next day, Guy felt his She-S-P kick in. He vaulted over a fence and ducked down as Maz followed him. At this point, Guy transformed into SheZow. Sheila's hologram appeared. "I hope you're not tired out from school. Mocktopus is causing a scene in Megadale," Sheila informed before showing some footage of Mocktopus. He had emerged from the ocean and slowly worked his way deeper into the city, attacking everything around him as he proceeded.
	"Him again? C'mon, he's not even a challenge anymore," SheZow groaned. He looked at Maz, then at Sheila. "Wanna send the Shehicle over here, Sheila?"
	"Of course," Sheila answered. "Don't have too much fun, now." Her hologram then vanished.
	"Maz, do whatever prep work you need and bring the Shehicle once it gets here. I'm going ahead," SheZow told. He then took off using his super speed.

	At a busy intersection in downtown Megadale, Mocktopus was making a mess of the traffic, knocking cars every which way. "ROOOOAAARRR!" Mocktopus shouted out, doing his best to scare the city folk. SheZow finally made his appearance, managing to stop in front of Mocktopus without tripping on his heels.
	SheZow looked up at Mocktopus and tilted his head, not amused. "You don't actually think you're scary, do you?"
	"'You don't actually think you're scary, do you?'," Mocktopus mimicked, rolling his eyes. He then lunged at SheZow with his tentacles, but SheZow was able to dodge backwards easily enough.
	"What's with you, anyway?" SheZow asked. "Can't you go rampage in the ocean instead?"
	"You people already do that, with your garbage dumping and oil spills!" Mocktopus pointed out, narrowing his eyes at SheZow. "An eye for an eye!"
	SheZow suddenly moved in close with his super speed. "Aye-aye!" SheZow exclaimed, poking both of Mocktopus' eyes with his fingers.
	Mocktopus cried out in pain and held his eyes in this tentacles. "You dirty little sneak!" He began flailing about randomly, forcing SheZow to back off once again.

	"This will do! This will do nicely!" Megamonkey exclaimed while watching the live news report of the fight happening between SheZow and Mocktopus. Megamonkey hopped out of his chair and ran down the hall toward the elevator. Proceeding to the ground level, he made his way through the lair until he reached the makeshift garage where the Ban-She was being stored. He accessed the control console and activated the robot, watching as the power cables detached from its back.
	"BAN-SHE MK-1 ACTIVATED. ALL SYSTEMS NORMAL."
	"Ban-She! SheZow is currently engaged in battle. Once you get dropped at Megadale's outskirts, head into the city, locate her, and destroy her!" Megamonkey ordered.
	"AFFIRMATIVE," the Ban-She answered. It jumped onto the back of a flatbed truck. Megamonkey instructed the monkey who normally flew the helicopter to drive the truck, while he himself got into the passenger seat. Starting the truck, the monkey drove it out of the lair, accelerated after getting outside and headed for Megadale.

	"You know what, Mocktopus?" SheZow asked.
	"What?" Mocktopus inquired, still lunging at SheZow with his tentacles.
	"Even if you keep smashing things up, it's just going to create MORE garbage that people will dump in the ocean," SheZow explained.
	"....Say whaaaat?" Mocktopus paused and stared at SheZow blankly.
	"What you SHOULD be doing is gathering up all that garbage, and dumping it somewhere else. Somewhere on land where no people live, like Antarctica, or Canada. Then EVERYONE'S happy!" SheZow suggested.
	Mocktopus gasped. "That's a GREAT idea!"
	"I'll even give you a hand!" SheZow added. "A Heavy-Handed Super She-Slap!" Before Mocktopus could react, SheZow attacked with his enlarged hand, sending Mocktopus flying over the cityscape and back into the ocean. At this point, Maz pulled up in the Shehicle. He had one dollar bills taped all over his usual clothes, and wore his usual black eye mask.
	"Sorry I'm late, SheZow! I'm your new sidekick, Dough Boy!" Maz explained. "Villains will be so distracted with trying to get me, that they won't even notice you!"
	"'Dough'? You do know it's called 'income' now, right?" SheZow asked.
	"I can't believe I missed the action..." Maz sighed. "How about I treat you to some food? Something cheap, of course. These are all one-dollar bills."
	"Alright, it's a date!" SheZow exclaimed, jumping into the Shehicle's passenger seat.
	"Date?"
	"Speaking metaphorically, of course!" Maz fell silent and looked from side to side. "Um, Maz? You're not gonna be weird about this just because I'm SheZow right now, are you?" SheZow asked.
	"Not that, I hear something. A bunch of thumping sounds," Maz informed. "Listen."
	SheZow shut his eyes and listened carefully. "You're right. It's getting louder, too."
	"Uh...it's getting REALLY loud!" Maz added. "It's getting closer, but I don't see anything!"
	"Maz..."
	"What?"
	"She-C-10. NOW."
	"On it!" Maz replied, hitting a button and transforming the Shehicle into the She-C-10. Mere seconds later, the Ban-She appeared in front of them, having used its invisibility to sneak up close. It activated a laser blade and swung it downward, but Maz flew to the left and avoided it.
	"Thank you, She-S-P!" SheZow breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm going out there. You can handle things in here, right?"
	Maz gave a thumbs up. "You know it. Go teach that thing a lesson!" Maz opened the cockpit of the She-C-10, allowing SheZow to jump out.
	"TARGET SHEZOW SPOTTED. OBJECTIVE: NEUTRALIZATION BY LETHAL FORCE," the Ban-She droned.
	"Now THAT'S not a very good first impression," SheZow commented. The Ban-She lunged with the laser blade; SheZow activated his Laser Lipstick and parried the attack successfully. As this was happening, Maz brought the She-C-10 around and targeted the Ban-She, getting ready to launch the Fishnet Stocking Bombs. Before he could fire, though, the Ban-She swiveled one of its laser cannons around and fired repeatedly while continuing to push its blade against SheZow's, hitting the She-C-10 and causing it to spin out of control. It collided with a building and got stuck in it. SheZow narrowed his eyes at the Ban-She and jumped back. He produced the Boomerang Brush in his free hand and threw it at his opponent, but the Ban-She simply raised its arm and used the armored section to deflect it harmlessly. "Then how about THIS?" SheZow let loose a Sonic Scream, aimed right at the Ban-She's mid-section, but the armor there wasn't giving way, despite the Ban-She being pushed back by the force of the attack. Aiming its laser cannons, the Ban-She fired; SheZow took off running. Many of the shots ended up hitting cars and buildings in the attempts to hit SheZow.
	"C'mon, move!" Maz muttered, struggling to get the She-C-10 out of the building without doing even more damage. The Ban-She continued to fire relentlessly.

	A few minutes later, at Megamonkey's lair, Megamonkey's attention was suddenly called to the Ban-She's status monitor. "Power reserves...THIRTY PERCENT AND FALLING?! Wait, the heat monitors, too!" he blurted out angrily. "Did I forget to program some manner of power management into the A.I.? That's just what I needed. Great." Megamonkey hit a few buttons on the control console. "And perhaps the cannons had a little too much output. This is what I get for not running enough tests in a controlled environment."

	Back at the scene of the battle, the Ban-She's laser cannons had overheated, preventing further use. It then opted to go for melee combat again, and charged toward SheZow. SheZow jumped up high into the air to go for the Ban-She's head, but was surprised when the Ban-She pointed its right arm up toward him and stretched it out, exposing the flexible forearm underneath the sturdy armor, completely unaltered from what Dr. Frankenweather had built. Before SheZow could use this knowledge to his advantage, though, the robot grabbed him, restraining his arms. The Ban-She used its left arm to hold SheZow's mouth closed, preventing the use of the Sonic Scream. It began crushing SheZow; unable to yell for help, SheZow could do nothing but do his best to attempt to struggle free.
	"Wait, it's so obvious!" Maz exclaimed. He transformed the She-C-10 back into the Shehicle. The Shehicle, being smaller than the She-C-10, was able to free itself from the building it was embedded inside simply by reversing. Before the Shehicle hit the ground, though, Maz transformed it once again into the She-C-10 and flew, preventing a collision. "Hang on, SheZow!" Maz yelled, flying low and deploying the She-C-10's arms. He used one of the arms to grab onto the Ban-She by the legs and pull it along behind the She-C-10. Pulling up, Maz took the aircraft high into the sky and started doing loops, ensuring to keep a good speed going. Eventually, the force of the loops caused the Ban-She to drop SheZow, at which point Maz let the Ban-She go and flew down toward SheZow. He opened up the cockpit, but his aim was a little off; rather than landing in the passenger seat, SheZow landed on Maz's lap, hard. "AAAAAHHHH!" Maz cried out in pain. He lost his focus as a result and the She-C-10 started flying erratically. The Ban-She, on the other hand, used its hovering ability just enough to prevent itself from hitting the ground too hard.
	"Maz! What's wrong, Maz?!" SheZow asked, concerned.
	"The...the family jewels!!" Maz blurted out. SheZow looked at where his knee was and gasped. He quickly moved over to the passenger seat. "Thaaaanks..." Maz groaned.
	"Thanks, pal," SheZow told with a smile.
	"Don't....mention it," Maz replied reluctantly.
	"I think that robot's running out of power or something. It stopped shooting, and it hasn't used those laser swords, either," SheZow commented.
	Maz took a few deep breaths. "Soooo, you wanna bomb it good?"
	"That won't work. It's mostly covered in really strong armor. There's a few spots that look like they aren't like that, though, but I gotta get up close to try out my idea," SheZow answered. "Take us closer." Maz nodded and guided the She-C-10 back toward the ground. Before colliding with the ground, though, he pulled up and flew straight toward the Ban-She, slamming the She-C-10 into it and sending it flying across the street into a building.
	"Now's your chance!" Maz told. He opened up the cockpit, allowing SheZow to jump out and run behind a car. SheZow produced a Boomerang Brush as well as the Vanishing Cream; he applied the Vanishing Cream to the Boomerang Brush, rendering it invisible. Putting the Vanishing Cream away, he produced the Laser Lipstick in his left hand while holding the invisible Boomerang Brush in his right. At this point, SheZow broke cover and charged toward the Ban-She as it was getting back on its feet. Seeing the Laser Lipstick, the Ban-She activated its right laser blade. SheZow swung the Laser Lipstick, counting on the Ban-She parrying rather than dodging, which it did. SheZow looked carefully at the left arm while pushing against the Ban-She's blade, noticing a gap between the shoulder armor and the upper arm's armor. Taking the opportunity, SheZow threw the invisible Boomerang Brush; the Ban-She was confused by the sight of SheZow seemingly throwing nothing, but suddenly turned its head a couple of seconds later to see that its left arm had been sliced off by the Boomerang Brush. Coming to the conclusion that the battle was lost, the Ban-She used its failsafe; a panel on its chest opened to reveal a bundle of four stun grenades. The opening of the panel pulled the pins on all four grenades at once; before SheZow had time to make his next move, they toppled onto the ground and detonated.
	"AAAAAHHHH!!" SheZow screamed, dropping his Laser Lipstick and holding his eyes; he stumbled and fell onto his back. The Ban-She grabbed its left arm off of the ground and took off. Maz flew the She-C-10 to ground level again and transformed it into the Shehicle.

	Megamonkey and his driver were speeding toward Megadale as fast as they could in the flatbed truck they had used before. "Too close...so much work would have been lost!" Megamonkey growled. The Ban-She emerged from the city not long after, still holding its severed left arm. Megamonkey elbowed the monkey driver and he did a hard 180 degree turn, facing away from the city. After a jump, the Ban-She landed on the back of the truck and powered down. "GO!" Megamonkey ordered. The monkey floored the accelerator and the truck sped off. Megamonkey kept watch in the rear view mirror in case of pursuers, but no one came.

	SheZow sat back up, finally opening his eyes. "I HATE those things!" SheZow complained.
	Maz hopped out of the Shehicle and knelt down beside SheZow. "That was so cool! You sliced its arm off with your...psychic powers!"
	"That was just a Boomerang Brush and Vanishing Cream combo, Maz. I don't have psychic powers," SheZow explained.
	"Even better!" Maz exclaimed. "C'mon, let's get going! I kinda wanna SPEND my costume now."
	"Speaking of costumes....you're not even trying anymore, are you?" SheZow asked.
	"Hey! I was on a tight schedule!" Maz protested. The two friends jumped into the Shehicle and drove off.

	"CURSE THAT SHEZOW!" Megamonkey bellowed, slamming his fist into the wall of the garage. The monkey minions looked rather nervous. Groaning, Megamonkey looked at the severely damaged Ban-She MK-1. "The laser cannons need re-designing, the invisibility is almost useless on something of this size against a smaller opponent....the boron nitride worked great, but there's still weak spots in the construction...using that Dr. Frankenweather's failed invention as a template was stupid, STUPID!"
	Virunga stepped into the room. His leg was wrapped in a bandage, but the wound didn't seem to be affecting his walking at all. "Boss, what happened?"
	"Its operational time is terrible...AGH! I should just start from scratch!" Megamonkey cursed. "This happened because I rushed things." Sighing, Megamonkey looked at Virunga. "Well, our first step is going to be securing some sort of new air transport. I have a gunship, but it can't carry a whole lot of cargo or passengers compared to the helicopter that was lost."
	"We gonna steal something, or...?" Virunga inquired.
	"No, I'll use legitimate methods. I don't want to risk damage to it on the way home," Megamonkey answered. He looked at the Ban-She. "Perhaps I can still get some sort of use out of this thing. Just not to destroy SheZow. Not at this point, anyway."

	Maz parked the Shehicle near a restaurant in downtown Megadale; this was the same restaurant that the fight between Tara and Virunga had happened in front of. SheZow went wide-eyed. "Maz, what are we doing here? We can't afford this place!"
	"Do you not see exactly how many one-dollar bills are taped to my clothes?" Maz asked. "I bet we can TOTALLY afford a couple appetizers, and maybe even a drink or two!"
	"Or we could go to the grocery store and buy a whole lot of junk food," SheZow suggested.
	"Oh, c'mon, I've always wanted to go here and pretend to be the middle-upper class. Not to mention there's something I want to test out," Maz admitted.
	"Test out? What, exactly?" SheZow asked.
	"You'll know it when we get inside," Maz assured.

	SheZow and Maz entered the restaurant. It wasn't quite dinnertime for most people yet, so it wasn't overly busy. The seater dropped the menus he was holding. "Wow...it's SheZow! Wait just one minute, okay?" She took off jogging and went into the kitchen. A minute later, she came back with the restaurant's manager.
	"SheZow! What an honor!" the manager exclaimed. He took SheZow's hand and shook it repeatedly.
	"The pleasure's...all mine?" SheZow answered awkwardly.
	"Hey, does SheZow get a VIP discount here?" Maz asked.
	"MA--er, Dough Boy, don't be rude!" SheZow told.
	"VIP discount? After everything you've done for Megadale, why not? How's fifty percent strike you, SheZow?" the manager asked.
	"Wh--what?!" SheZow blurted out. Maz covered SheZow's mouth.
	"That sounds rad," Maz answered. "Do I get the discount too?"
	"You're just a colleague, right? If you two were a couple, I could probably see abo--" the manager paused as Maz put his arm around SheZow's waist. SheZow suddenly let out a girly squeal.
	"Me and SheZow are TOTALLY dating. Right?" Maz asked, looking at SheZow as he moved his hand up and down along SheZow's waist. "We're a battle couple!" SheZow's face turned bright red.
	The manager burst out laughing. "SheZow, no need to be so shy!" he assured. "Follow me, I'll try to find you a quiet spot to sit."
	"Yes!" Maz whispered. "Pork back ribs, here I come!" Maz happily followed the manager. SheZow slowly followed along after Maz, still blushing. The two sat down at a small table, and the manager handed each of them a menu before heading back into the kitchen.
	"Maaaaazzzz...!!" SheZow growled.
	"I'm Dough Boy!" Maz corrected.
	"That was MEGA embarrassing!" SheZow protested.
	"So? You're SheZow right now. It's normal for SheZow to date dudes, right?" Maz asked.
	"Er...well, okay, that does make sense," SheZow admitted.
	"And we get to eat for cheap, but pretend to be middle-upper class! Livin' the dream!" Maz added enthusiastically.
	"So...you were just kidding about us?"
	"What, dating?" Maz looked around to make sure no one was listening. "Of course I was! Chill out! It was all part of my master plan!" he whispered.

	An hour passed, and SheZow and Maz both had their fill of soda and food. The two exited the restaurant, Maz looking particularly pleased with himself for saving all that money. "HEY!" SheZow blurted out.
	"What?"
	"The Shehicle's gone!" SheZow yelled. "We got jacked!"
	As if on cue, the Shehicle pulled up in front of them. Kelly was driving. "And WHAT exactly were you two doing?!" Kelly asked in an angry tone.
	"Having an early dinner?" Maz explained. He shrugged. "What's the big deal? You jealous of SheZow? I know I'm a nice catch, but..."
	"Oh, shut it! No, that's not it!" Kelly told. "SheZow isn't exactly LOW-PROFILE. You could have gotten ambushed on the way out! SheZow has a lot of enemies, you know!"
	"Huh....I never thought about that before," SheZow commented.
	"You don't think about many things," Kelly groaned. "Well? Get in! I need to hear more about that robot that you two scrapped with once we get home."
	"The robot's the one that got scrapped," SheZow corrected.
	"Shotgun!" Maz exclaimed, jumping into the passenger seat. SheZow raised an eyebrow.
	"You know what I'm gonna do, right?" SheZow asked.
	"Wait, wait!" Maz cried, thinking of his private area's well-being. SheZow ignored his pleas, though, and jumped up, landing on his rear right on Maz's lap.
	"AAAHHHH!!" Maz's eyes went wide before he cringed from the pain. SheZow and Kelly burst out laughing.
	"I feel sorry for guys sometimes," Kelly commented. She then hit the accelerator and got the Shehicle moving, heading for the She-Lair.
