The Picpus cemetery was a nice little place to visit and honor Lafayette himself in his tombstone. For the next destination for the heroes and doctor Sebastien Dumas was Les Invalides, the tomb of many heroes of France, and great French military leaders throughout history and over the centuries. Of course, the most famous and main attraction of the whole historical site was Napoleon's sarcophagus. But first, Sebastien wanted to see another old friend that lived around this neighborhood in Paris, and the kids promptly followed him to what appeared to be an artist studio.

Suddenly, Jesse heard someone cry for help. "Aidez-moi! Aidez moi!" said a child's voice. "Eloignez-vous de moi, sal sac!"

A little thanks to Mason's French lesson in languages, Sam, Jesse, Lincoln, and Luna recognized that as "Help me! Help me! Stay away from me, you dirtbag!" from the person in trouble. "Uh-oh. Someone's in trouble." said Luna. "Come on dudes, let's see what's going on." everyone went to follow the voices of the person in trouble and traced it all the way back to a small alleyway.

"Aidez moi!" said the child. It was a blonde boy in a red jacket being mugged by seven armed men, and the boys parents were with him, looking just as frightened as their own son.

"Quelqu'un nous aide!" said the boy's father.

"Donnez-nous simplement votre argent et votre art et nous vous laisserons vivre (just give us your money and your art and we will let you live.)." said the leader of these muggers.

The mother tried stopping them but one of the goons slapped her in the face with his own gun, knocking her out. Luna, Lincoln, Sam, Mason, and Jesse looked pretty peeved at seeing this defenseless family get hurt.

"Aveline!" said the husband, tending to her knocked out wife. "Mon art n'est pas a vous! (my art is not yours for the taking)!"

"Tais toi! Preparez-vous a mourir (Shut up! Prepare to die)!" said the third robber.

At last, the kids couldn't stand it any longer. Just as soon as the robbers were about to point their revolver guns at the poor family, Mason blasted one of the seven robbers with a wave of green fire from his hands. The rest of the brutes looked surprised and looked at where the blast came from. "Leave those people alone, you fiends!" said Lincoln.

"Who are you?" said the leader. "You know we don't celebrate Halloween in France, right?"

"You cretins don't know who you are dealing with, n'est ce pas?" Luna asked.

"Run along before you get a bullet in your heads."

"And you do not want a bullet in your heads now, don't you enfants?" the third one asked

"Ok, you've asked for it." said Sam.

The seventh man got back up, and looked rather mad. "What kind of people are you?" He asked. Mason ran up and landed a fury of punches at the goon and he was merciless. The other men were about to shoot Mason, but Luna blasted their guns with ice waves, rendering them useless.

"Superheroes." said Mason

"Que'st-ce qu c'est?" the leader said in surprise, looking at his frozen weapon. Lincoln used his beam sword to fight with the third guy while Luna fought the second one with her fighting skills. Lincoln saw that the third man had a machete in his hands and tried landing some slices at him with his weapon, but Lincoln easily cut the weapon's blade in hand.

"That was your last mistake, garçon!" said the third robber.

"Au contraire." Lincoln smirked. He dodged many punches from the man, and began punching and kicking him int he face, making his nose bleed from so much blows. But suddenly, the fourth one grabbed Lincoln from behind, holding his arms
