"The two of us just pulled a quadruple shift at the shop, and we show up to see you all've been slacking off all day!"

I sighed, walking over to Mei and MK in attempt to avoid Pigsy's wrath upon Mr. Tang.

"Hey, Em! Exhausted?" Mei asked, noticing my slightly-disheveled hair and faint eye bags.

"Mhm... the noodle shop was packed." I chuckled. "Eh, it's whatever though. At least we can finally get some re- HOLY GUACAMOLE MK!!" I screamed. Mei whirled around just in time to see a giant crate fall on top of MK.

"KID!" Pigsy shouted.

"THE CRATE KILLED HIM!" I wailed.

However, MK broke out from the top, shouting about being invincible. After a moment of Mei seeing just how invincible he is, we were suddenly down in a "sea-crate" base Mei somehow managed to build in less than a week.

"Mei, when did you make this?!" MK asked in amazement.

"How did you make this?" Pigsy asked the more logical question.

"Mei, I've said it once and I'll say it again, you are amazing if you can build this within a week!" I grinned. She flushed, embarrassed.

"Ah, it was nothing." Mei muttered.

"Say, Sandy," Mr. Tang whispered. "Weren't you making a secret base for MK too?"

I knew what he was referring to. I helped make the sign.

"Uhm... no?" Sandy said nervously.

~~~

Later, after admiring the sea-crate base, we all went back up to the surface and decided to turn on the TV Sandy had set up hours earlier.

That's when it happened.

"Citizens!" The TV glitched out and an all-too familiar face appeared on screen. My heart almost stopped beating.

"It is I!"

Okay, I thought. Maybe he's somehow just a lookalike-

"Red Son!"

Nope. That's him.

"I have taken control of the weather station and will harness the very power of nature to return my father to his former glory!" My brother cackled. "This message is, uh, more of a courtesy really."

To demonstrate just how much power he now had, Redsy (my own personal nickname for him) did an evil laugh and pulled a lever, causing rain clouds to appear from nowhere and create a storm in an instant.

"When I'm finished, my father will once more dominate the world! And then- oh, look! A lightning button." Redsy grinned and the TV shut off. I just stared at the TV in shock.

"Aw, yeah!" MK and Mei shouted.

"What do you mean, 'Aw yeah'?! This ain't an 'Aw yeah' moment!" Growled Pigsy as he shoved Mr. Tang's head in his noodle bowl.

"Yeah, this really, really isn't." I muttered.

"Chill out, guys. I'm invincible, remember?" MK picked up his staff. "If he wants to tussle with the champ, I say bring it!"

"Yeah! 'Cause he's a superhero, yo! The Red Baby is gonna get MK-O'd!" Mei exclaimed. I had to suppress a giggle from the nickname.

Pigsy groaned. "You got a lot to learn, kids. Don't just dive headfirst into danger- wait, where'd they go?!"

I pointed past us. "They went to fight Redsy."

"Those little- wait, 'Redsy'?" Pigsy and Mr. Tang looked at me confused.
