It was early Monday morning.
Dr. Chen and General Waltz were in the lab.
"The cure is ready." Dr. Chen showed the general a small device.
"This sprays a mist. The mist stops the geyser's energy."
She walked toward the cells.
"I'll use it on Private Benson first, and then—\"
The scientist stopped.
She looked at the general. "I think the cure is a bad idea."
General Waltz smiled.
Roxy got out of bed and yawned.
She was still tired from spending most of the night in space.
Her watch beeped.
"Metro City Central Bank is being robbed!" Mayor Bloom said.
"Maybe Brain Invader is controlling Mayor Bloom," Roxy thought.
"But maybe not. I have to find out."
"Don't worry," Roxy said. "I'm on my way!"
Roxy arrived at the bank.
Police officers hid behind their cars.
Slime covered the cars.
"Uh-oh," Roxy said.
"Brain Invader is controlling the Mighty Man actor again!"
Crash! A figure smashed through the bank's wall.
Roxy's eyes went wide. "Private Benson!"
Private Benson was holding a sack of money.
She jumped onto a police car.
Smash! Metal twisted. Windows shattered.
The Mighty Man actor came out with more money.
"Don't let Brain Invader control you!" Roxy shouted.
The villains attacked.
A big orange fist slammed into Roxy.
Slime sprayed everywhere.
Roxy tried to fight back.
But Brain Invader shouted in her head.
"Obey me, Rocket Girl! Stop fighting!"
"Ugh!" Roxy thought.
"I can't fight all three of these villains!"
Suddenly Private Benson grabbed Roxy and threw her.
Bam! She landed inside an armored truck.
Brain Invader's voice was gone.
Roxy thought that was odd.
Then she realized something.
"This truck is made of steel!
And a steel pole stopped Private Benson.
The cells in Dr. Chen's lab are made of steel . . .
Steel blocks Brain Invader's power!"
Private Benson and the actor started to run away.
"I have to stop them!" Roxy said.
"Help!" a voice called out.
Roxy spun around and saw a military truck.
She used her x-ray vision.
General Waltz was tied up inside!
Roxy flew over and pulled the door open.
She untied the general.
"I'm happy to see you," General Waltz said.
"Dr. Chen was going to use the cure this morning.
But then she refused.
She released those villains, and they kidnapped me!"
Roxy blinked in surprise.
"I think she's going to take over the military," General Waltz said.
"Maybe even the world!"
