The wind blew fast through SheZow's hair and cape. She had herself on the way, riding her She-Cycle through the streets of Megadale town.

"Guy, you should be there in a couple of minutes" said Sheila through the comms in the helmet.

"Got it, got it" SheZow nodded, speeding up the motorcycle, hurrying to get to the place.

She arrived and stood still by her bike. Before her the big gray building with large pipes, releasing clouds of dark gray smoke - town's chemical factory. It was a little stinky around, and because of the smoke, sky was darkened, making a slight grim atmosphere.

"Ugh, so much gray..." SheZow muttered. "They should've shut this place down long ago..."

"Be careful there, Guy" said Sheila's voice in the helm. "Sensors show there are many of them - twenty or more, not less. Good for us is that they all still on the first floor..."

"Ooh, a whole raid I see..." Guy whistled. "And don't worry, Sheila, I will be careful. I always am. They don't call me Mr. Safe Kid for nothing"

"Really?" said Sheila in a slightly scolding voice tone. "And your sister said nobody calls you like that..."

"Nevermind it" Guy cut her out as he approached the entrance door. "Besides, it's not like I open the door, and they all stand here, staring at me and holding their guns up-" he didn't finish, as he opened the door - and the first thing he saw were all twenty bandits looking at him with confusion, but holding their blasters up, ready to shoot. Guy let go the helmet, which resulted in it falling on the ground.

"Um... Konnichiwa?" SheZow nervously said. The answer was only a loud laughter of all bandits, which then got quickly cut by noise of shootout.

Few minutes later, SheZow managed to fight her way to the good hiding place, even knocking down some bandits on her way, but they still were outnumbering her. She crouched behind some boxes, looking from behind them at the approaching bandits. They didn't stop the fire, making it unable for her to engage open fight.

"Have they got an endless ammo or something?" SheZow whined quietly. "Think, think... There must be a way..." as she heard the steps of approaching enemy forces, she used her Ribbon Shooter to swing up and escape.

"Good luck at catching me!" she mockingly said to them, as they let out a few curses. However, because of this distraction, she flew over the bridge of the second floor, falling right near one of the huge chemical canisters. She got buried under lot of barrels, but quickly got back to her feelings and got up.

"Oops, a little over the edge..." she said, feeling a little dizzy. She didn't notice a bandit up above, holding a barrel. He poured its contents down on the heroine, hoping it would help to stop her. Loud splash - and SheZow got covered in green slime.

"Eew, gross!" she shouted, shaking it off. Fortunately, it wasn't sticky at all, so it just slid off. However, it left SheZow's suit stained in goo and her hairdo got completely ruined. Also, in the process, her Laser Lipstick fell off the belt, now lying on the ground, without the pink heroine noticing it.

"Oh great..." she grumbled, adjusting her now messy hair mane. "Luckily, I have the solution..." she grabbed the special She-Hairspray from her belt and squeezed the button, spraying a little pink cloud. It flowed over her hair, instantly bringing them back to their usual neat state.

"That's better..." she said, looking at the bottle of spray. "And I got the idea..."

The bandits approached the place she supposedly fell - even the one who poured slime on the heroine. Suddenly, right behind some boxes, a flask of SheZow's hairspray flew to them, hitting the ground and letting out a dense cloud of pink smoke. Bandits covered their mouths and began to cough. While their sight got concealed, few of them got dragged in the depth of the smoke. One of them, who noticed it, tried to run, but got quickly knocked down.
