Kangaroo Commando's gaze turned cold as he pointed at Dean's chest. "Weren't you the one who sent people to wreck my show? And you still have the nerve to play the victim?"
"Don't spew nonsense. You're the one who stole Fiery Buddy's costume!" Dean was furious too.
Behind him, Handy Buddy was already cracking his knuckles and getting ready to make a move.
But Dean stopped him, because there were security guards nearby, and fighting here would look bad.
"Just wait, North. I'll make you pay for this," Dean threatened viciously before taking his people and leaving.
North answered domineeringly, "I'll be waiting."
...
Ben was furious about what Dean had done.
That guy had not only slandered his Alien Heroes, he also wanted to hurt Kangaroo Commando.
It was infuriating.
"That loser Dean. I'm gonna teach him a lesson." Ben clenched his fists.
"No, this isn't as simple as it looks," Lucian said slowly.
"What do you mean, Cuz?" Ben looked confused.
"You can't judge everything by appearances. Some people look like villains, but they aren't actually bad."
"And some people look like good people, but their hearts are more poisonous than snakes and scorpions."
Even after hearing Lucian's words, Ben still did not understand. He scratched his head irritably.
"Forget it. I want to go ride the Kangaroo Commando roller coaster," Ben said.
...
Inside the Planetary Studios.
The Kangaroo Commando roller coaster was built around a huge artificial mountain, winding through the rock formations and tunnels like a nimble flying snake.
At the center of the mountain stood a golden statue of Kangaroo Commando, grand and imposing.
Though it was called a roller coaster in the sky, it was really just a regular roller coaster, a very common amusement ride.
One thing worth mentioning was that the Kangaroo Commando roller coaster could run multiple coaster cars at the same time, since it carried a lot of passengers.
After waiting in line, Lucian and the others finally got their wish and boarded the ride.
Whoosh!
The thrilling roller coaster shot through the artificial mountain.
"Yahoo! This is so fun!!" Ben's cheeks flapped wildly in the wind.
"Hahaha! So fast!!" Gwen was excited too.
Lucian just shrugged. He did not feel much, since he had already ridden things like this plenty of times in his previous life.
Boom!
A blinding burst of fire exploded from the track ahead.
The terrifying explosion blew the track clean in half!
Seeing the roller coaster about to plunge into a bottomless abyss, Lucian's eyes narrowed and he was just about to transform.
Suddenly, a powerful force came from behind and stopped the falling coaster.
Everyone turned to look.
"It's Kangaroo Commando!" Ben cried out, his heart pounding wildly.
At some point, Kangaroo Commando had appeared on the rocks above, gripping a steel cable in his hand. At the end of the cable was a sharp hook firmly lodged in the tail of the roller coaster.
"Don't worry, I'll save you!" Kangaroo Commando smiled knowingly.
He grabbed the cable with both hands and hauled it back with all his strength.
Then he used a flame cutter to slice open the safety bars restraining them.
Suddenly, a scream came from ahead.
"Ah! Save me!!"
A beautiful blonde woman was hanging from a broken section of rail. Her slim body swayed precariously, and her face was filled with terror.
"Don't be afraid. Kangaroo Commando will save you!" With that, Kangaroo Commando turned and leaped toward the woman.
"Kangaroo Commando needs backup!" Ben hit the Omnitrix, and dark green light burst out.
Very soon, Kangaroo Commando saved the woman and leaped down, landing at the foot of the artificial mountain.
That feat won him even more love and admiration from the crowd around him.
Crack!
A broken section of rail above suddenly snapped loose and came crashing down with a terrifying howl.
Kangaroo Commando's face changed. He was about to be flattened into paste.
Bang!
The falling rail suddenly stopped in midair.
Kangaroo Commando froze, then looked closely and realized it was... Handy Buddy who had saved him!
"Hey, Kangaroo Commando, not bad, right?" Four Arms said with a grin.
Obviously, it was Ben.
"Oh, that's just great. I'm guessing you're some kind of custom robot with a cheap skin stretched over it." Kangaroo Commando did not appreciate it at all, since he and Dean were bitter enemies.
Dean's creations, like Handy Buddy and Doggy Buddy, were his enemies too.
A gust of wind flashed by, and Gwen appeared beside Four Arms. At the same time, Lucian showed up in a burst of green light.
Lucian looked at the broken rail, then thought back to the explosion just now.
And to the fact that Kangaroo Commando had appeared immediately after it.
"This does not look like a coincidence," Lucian said calmly.
"Of course it isn't." Kangaroo Commando walked over to the blasted wreckage and continued, "Someone planted explosives on the track."
"Clearly, this was premeditated."
"Then tell me who did it," Lucian said, expression unchanged.
Kangaroo Commando clenched his teeth and rummaged around in the debris. Sure enough, he pulled out a white glove...
