Chapter 24 - Episode 6: The Talking Predators

The Justice Brigade was enjoying their day when their alarm went off. Daisy checked it and saw it was a moving target in China. The Justice Brigade put on their superhero uniforms, got into their Justice Brigade jet, and flew to China at hyper speed. Once they arrived, the Justice Brigade saw that it was the middle of the night, and the police were engaged in a high-speed chase with a black car, so they pursued it themselves. Iceboy put on a pair of spy sunglasses that Sungirl made and used them to zoom in on the black car so he could see who was driving. Once he did, he saw a girl fox driving the vehicle with a boy otter in the passenger seat. Iceboy Sungirl said, "Do you see who's driving, Iceboy?" Iceboy said, "Yes. You won't believe this, but a fox is driving that car." Iceboy then saw him stop by a bank, and a boy jaguar and a boy coyote ran inside the car with the fox. Then the fox hit the gas and quickly drove away from the police.

Iceboy said, "Now a boy jaguar and coyote are in the car, and they just robbed the China bank." A girl hawk hacked the stoplights and turned them green so her team could drive through them. After they did, the hawk turned all the lights red and stopped the cops. Since the cops couldn't do anything, Sungirl flew their jet down and chased after the car. Miss. Fox saw The Justice Brigade's jet chasing them, so she hit the gas and increased their speed to 140 miles per hour. Sungirl flipped a switch in their jet and nailed the villains' car with a tracking device. Once the animals dressed as humans escaped the Justice Brigade and the cops, they turned their car into a jet and flew out of China.

After the animals got away, Sungirl showed her team her communicator, and they saw a blinking light on it. Sungirl said, "I was able to nail their car with a tracking device just before they got away. It'll tell us exactly where they're headed, and when it tells us where they are, we'll figure out where they'll strike next and hopefully get there first. The Justice Brigade saw they were headed for London. Sungirl said, "London?" Iceboy said, "That's where the crown jewels of the Queen of England are located, including the Koh-I-Noor Diamond." Aquaboy said, "That must be what they're after. Looks like we got some treasures to save."

The Justice Brigade raced their new foes to London. Once they arrived in London, they saw it was late afternoon. The Justice Brigade then walked over to the Tower of London, hoping to find their thieves there. Once they arrived, they saw people entering and exiting, but no alarms had been triggered yet, so they figured the thieves hadn't struck yet. The Justice Brigade removed their superhero uniforms and entered The Tower of London dressed as tourists. Daisy said, "I think we figured out how the thieves will get in, or they already got in. They will disguise themselves or have already disguised themselves and are en route to steal the jewels. We've got to get there." The Justice Brigade snuck into the tower where the jewels were and saw nobody was yet there. Since no one was around, they hid and returned to their superhero uniforms. Sungirl said, "OK, Justice Brigade. Iceboy and I will head up the stairs and watch the jewels in case the villains decide to come through the window. Heatgirl, you and Aquaboy stay down here and wait for them. Whoever runs into them first calls the other two on their communicator."

Sungirl and Iceboy marched up the stairs and found the crowned jewels still locked in their box. They took a glimpse at them and saw that even the Koh-I-Noor Diamond was present. Sungirl and Iceboy kept an eye on the jewels while Heatgirl and Aquaboy watched the door. Once the thieves found the entrance to the tower, Miss. Hawk saw Heatgirl and Aquaboy guarding it. Miss. Hawk said, "We got heroes guarding the entrance." Miss. Fox said, "How are we going to get the jewels?" Mr. Otter said, "Hello, we have a jaguar and a coyote on our side; we can scare them away. And even if we don't, Miss. Hawk can fly me up to the top while those two deal with you three. We'll steal the jewels while you three keep the heroes busy." Miss. Fox said, "We can't just walk in there. We'll need something to take them out with." Miss. Hawk said, "Something like this." Miss. Hawk gave Miss. Fox a small ball, and she threw it through the door. Then it opened, and Heatgirl and Aquaboy got hit with knock-out gas. Heatgirl and Aquaboy collapsed when the gas vanished, and the thieves walked up the stairs only to find the crown jewels were gone. Miss. Fox said, "I don't get it. The case is still locked, but the crown jewels aren't here." Then Iceboy turned the floor into ice, and all except Miss. Hawk fell to the ground. Iceboy said, "Looking for someone?" Miss. Hawk looked up and saw Sungirl and Iceboy floating above them. Miss. Hawk said, "Well, well, well." Sungirl said, "You can talk?" Miss. Hawk said, "We all can." Miss. Fox said, "We are The Talking Predators. I'm Miss. Fox, the leader." Miss Hawk said, "I'm Miss. Hawk. The techno wiz in the group." Mr. Coyote said, "I'm Mr. Coyote. People take one look at me and hand over their loot." Mr. Jaguar said, "I'm Mr. Jaguar, the toughest in the group." Mr. Otter said, "I'm Mr. Otter, master of deception and distraction. People find me so cute that they'll pay so much attention to me, and the others can steal from people right under their noses." Sungirl said, "Well, there's nothing cute about you to me." Sungirl blasted Mr. Otter with one of her Sun Beams and toasted him. Sungirl said, "We're The Justice Brigade. Down there was Heatgirl and Aquaboy. I'm Sungirl, and this is Iceboy." Miss. Fox said, "Well, we already took out two members. Let's take out the other two. Talking Predators, attack!"

Sungirl flew down the stairs, and Miss. Hawk flew after her, with Mr. Jaguar running after her. Iceboy landed and took on Miss. Fox and Mr. Coyote. Iceboy punched Mr. Coyote, but Miss. Fox kicked Iceboy down the stairs. Iceboy then froze the stairs, and Miss. Fox slipped and slid down them. Then Iceboy grabbed her and threw her to the wall. Then Iceboy looked out the door and saw Sungirl dodge Miss. Hawk's claw attack in the sky. Then Sungirl bounced off Mr. Jaguar's face and jumped up where Miss. Hawk caught her. Miss. Hawk said, "You've interfered with our plans for the last time." Sungirl said, "Not yet." Sungirl shot her Laser Vision at Miss. Hawk's wings and set them on fire. Miss. Hawk then dropped Sungirl, and Mr. Jaguar broke her fall while Miss. Hawk crash-landed onto one of the Tower of London's walls.

Once the fight was over, the police took The Talking Predators to jail, and Sungirl and Iceboy woke up Heatgirl and Aquaboy. A policewoman said, "You four are under arrest, too, for stealing the crown jewels." Sungirl and Iceboy laughed, then told the policewoman what had happened. Sungirl said, "Follow us." The policewoman followed The Justice Brigade up the tower to where the crown jewels were." Iceboy broke the case; everyone saw it was made of ice, not glass. Iceboy said, "We didn't steal them; we hid them." Sungirl pulled the sheet off the real display case containing the crown jewels, and the policewoman saw that everything was present. Sungirl said, "I just threw a sheet over them, and Iceboy made a fake display case to put on the real one to make it look like they were already stolen. The policewoman said, "Clever. OK, you can go." The Justice Brigade flew away, went to their jet, and flew home. Once the Justice Brigade arrived, they saw it was early afternoon, so they hit the sack since they were up all night fighting the Talking Predators.
