Donnie's Voice-over: "Last month, I've confronted a speedster like me. The Reverse-Dash. I've spent week after week trying to push myself to be at my fastest."

At an abandoned airfield, Donnie is zooming around, dodging missles from a Gladiator Corps drone.

Isaac is controlling the drone. Lauren and Macy see this.

"What's the point to this?"
Asked Macy as she walked over to Isaac.

"I want to see if Donnie is capable of thinking on his feet." Said Isaac

"He didn't tell you to try to kill him."
Said Lauren with a concerned look.

The drone shot another missile. Donnie sees the missile is coming in his direction. In a flash of orange electricity, Donnie ran and jumped in the air to catch the missile. Then he threw it at the drone.

20 minutes later, Donnie ate 100 burgers from Great Burger.

"It seems that you're continuing to improve." Said Isaac

"But it's not enough." Said Donnie

"It will be as long you focus on the Reverse-Dash. Are you ready for another round?" Said Isaac

"Yep." Said Donnie with an excited tone.

"Be careful. There are three drones left.
Also, they got lasers." said Isaac as he grabs one of the drones.

"No." Lauren and Macy both said in unison.

At an apartment, Philip is with William. They're trying to come up with a plan to catch Fast-Dash.

"It's time that we've brought out Fast-Dash." Said Philip

"How?" Asked William

"There's a painting at the museum."
Said Philip

"Okay, you've gotten my attention."
Said William

Philip smiles.

At Gladiator Corps HQ, Donnie is helping Gladiator Corps with designing more prison cells.

Commander Morris walks over to Donnie.

"Lauren told me you've been trying to get faster." Said Commander Morris

"That's right." Said Donnie

"It was last month since we've seen the Reverse-Dash. The least you could do is relax." Said Commander Morris

"Commander, I can't relax. Not with him out there." Said Donnie

Lauren walks over to Commander Morris and Donnie.

"Hey." Said Donnie

"Hi." Said Lauren

"How are you?" Asked Donnie

"I'm fine." Said Lauren

"That's good." Said Donnie

Commander Morris has a confused look on his face.

"I see that you're building more prison cells." Said Lauren

"Yeah, I'm making good progress."
Said Donnie

"That's great. See you later." Said Lauren as she leaves.

Donnie sighs.

"What was that about?"
Asked Commander Morris

"Last month, I told Lauren how I felt about her." Said Donnie

Commander Morris has a shocked look on his face.
