Chapter 21 - Episode 3: Daike and Jasy to the rescue

The Justice Brigade flew to the carnival in their superhero uniforms. Once they arrived, they hid behind one of the rides and changed out of their superhero uniforms into their regular clothes. Daisy said, "OK, team, have fun. And remember to use your communicators if you spot trouble." The Justice Brigade all nodded their heads yes and split up. Daisy took a ride on the Ferris wheel, Hannah took a ride on the swings, Jake took a ride on the tilt-a-whirl, and Frank took a ride on the roller coaster. Once they finished with the rides, Daisy read a sign outside a tent. Daisy said," 'Come see the amazing Clown-P-Ira's Back. Mistress of Magic. Hmm, who has an apostrophe in their name?" Hannah looked at the poster and the girl on it, and examined the black staff she was holding and the circle at the top with great care. Then Hannah's eyes started to twirl in the same color as the staff. Jake said, "Maybe it's just a typo." Daisy, Jake, and Frank walked into the tent, while Hannah stayed outside, unable to look away. Daisy then went outside the tent, grabbed Hannah's arm, and walked her into the tent while her eyes were twirling. Daisy said, "Don't you want to see the show?" Hannah snapped out of it, and her eyes returned to normal. Hannah said, "What? Oh yeah. Come on, let's take our seats."

All four sat on benches to watch the show. Then the girl magician walked up on stage, and Jake thought he recognized her. Jake said, "There's something about that magician that looks familiar, but I can't place it." The magician said, "For my first trick, I shall take these two boxes...." Then her assistant brought out two large boxes with locks on them. The magician said, "And two people from the audience." The magician looked out at the audience and pointed at Daisy and Jake, who were sitting on the same bench. The magician said, "How about you two?" Daisy and Jake stepped up on stage and followed the magician's instructions. The magician opened the first box and said, "Will the young lady step in here?" Daisy stepped into the first box, and the magician shut it and locked her in. Then she took Jake to the second box. The magician said, "Will the boy step in here?" Jake stepped into the second box, and she shut and locked it, trapping him inside. Then, she covered both boxes with sheets and informed the audience of her next steps.

The magician said, "Now I'll say the magic words, and when I do, the boy will appear in the box the girl stepped in, and the girl will appear in the box the boy stepped in." The magician said, "Presto-change-o. Al-a-cazam. Switch these two and make everyone a fan." Then she waved her wand, took the sheets off the boxes, unlocked them, and let Daisy and Jake out. When she opened the boxes, the audience saw that the magician's trick didn't work. Daisy was still in the first box, and Jake was still in the second box. Then she was booed by everyone in the audience, and they all started to leave. Daisy said, "Looks like this magician isn't so good after all." Hannah looked at the magician's staff again, and the diamond at the top made her eyes twirl again. The magician said, "We'll see about that. I'll be in town all week, but the show is over now." Hannah said, "For now, the show is over." Hannah snapped out of it again and went with her friends. The Justice Brigade met again in one location, changed into their superhero uniforms, and flew back home. Once they got home, they all went to bed, and when the clock struck midnight, something weird happened to both Daisy and Jake while they were asleep.

Daisy sat on the couch the following day and started playing video games like Jake would. Then Frank saw the TV was on and figured Jake was playing his video games again. Frank said, "Jake, will you let me...?" Frank noticed that Daisy was playing video games and not Jake. Daisy said, "Oh, hi Frank, you want to play the next round like you always do with me?" Frank said, "Um, in a minute. I'll be right back." Daisy said, "OK, I will play the next level." Frank knocked on Hannah's door, and she opened it. Hannah said, "What do you want?" Frank said, "A little mission of our own. We're going to Daisy's room." Hannah and Frank went to Daisy's room and heard humming from inside. Then they just barely opened the door and peered inside. Once they did, they saw Jake brushing his hair in Daisy's mirror while humming a song. Hannah said, "That's weird. Doesn't Daisy hum while she brushes her hair?" Frank said, "I just saw Daisy playing Jake's video games. She knows many cheat codes like Jake does, and I'd like to play next just as I would with Jake." Hannah said, "It's like they've switched personalities. But how?" Hannah thought back and remembered that the magician tried to make them switch boxes during her show, but she failed. Hannah said, "Wait, the magic show. The magician's trick didn't switch their places; it switched their personalities." Frank said, "What was the name of that show anyway?"

Hannah used their computer and printed out a list of events during the carnival last night. Hannah said, "Rides, food, here we are, shows. Come see the amazing Clown-P-Ira's Back, master of magic." While Hannah and Frank were investigating, their alarm went off, and Jake checked it. Hannah whispered, "Normally, Daisy checks on emergencies." Jake said, "Emergency at the mall. Everyone suit up." Frank said, "She also gives the orders." Then, all four of them got suited, and when they arrived at the mall, they saw a flying pirate ship overhead and pirates swinging on ropes into the mall.

Once the four pirates entered, they ran across the mall and found the store they were seeking. Then, two pirates blew the windows open with cannons, and everyone inside started to panic while they robbed it. The Justice Brigade flew into the mall and looked around for the pirates until they found them at a joke store. The Justice Brigade flew in and saw the pirates stealing nearly everything in the store. Sungirl said, "With all the valuables in a mall, why steal from a joke store?" Heatgirl said, "Normally, Jake makes the jokes." Aquaboy said, "Since Sungirl is Jake now, maybe we should call her Daike when she's out of costume." Heatgirl said, "And we should call Iceboy Jasy when he's out of costume." Aquaboy said, "OK."

The Justice Brigade flew into the store and started fighting the pirates. Sungirl shot one of her Sun Beams at one of the pirates and knocked her to the other side of the store. Heatgirl flew up to one of the other pirates, and when she looked at his face, she stopped flying and fell to the floor, recognizing him. Heatgirl said, "Sam?" Sam punched Heatgirl away and grabbed his bags. The third pirate used a can of sticky string to stick Iceboy to the wall, and when he looked at him, he recognized him. Iceboy said, "Roger?" Aquaboy was fighting with the fourth pirate. Then he shot hooks from his hook hand and shackled Aquaboy's arms and legs to the wall. Then he grew a new hook hand, and their captain threw them ropes. Then, each of them grabbed a rope and pulled it, and a giant puff of magical smoke appeared, making all four disappear and reappear on board their ship. Then, their captain sailed away through their skies with her crew. Sungirl got Aquaboy down while Heatgirl used her heat beams to melt the sticky string and set Iceboy free. Then, all four of them quickly changed out of their superhero uniforms and back into their everyday clothes. Then they all put their superhero uniforms in their backpacks, walked out of the store like they had no idea what had happened, and spent the rest of the day at the mall.

While they were at the mall, Jasy headed to the dress shop, but Hannah grabbed his arm and told him to get away from the window before someone saw him window shopping. While Hannah tried to control Jasy, Frank caught Daike in a comic book store, reading comics dressed like a boy. Frank hid behind one of the sofas in the comic store, opened his communicator, and called Hannah on it. Frank said, "Enjoying your time with Jake?" Hannah said, "Nope. I've been trying to keep him away from the shoes, but he can't resist like Daisy can't. How is she, by the way?" Frank said, "Calm. She's dressed like a boy, hiding her long hair with a hat so no one will know she's a girl, and reading a comic book." Hannah said, "We've got to figure out how this happened and how to reverse it." Frank said, "Something tells me Daisy and Jake are switching places, and the creepy pirates are somehow connected."

Once it got dark, Daike and Jasy went to bed, while Hannah and Frank got into their superhero uniforms and did a little investigating. They went to their living room and started to think. Hannah said, "Let's think about this. Fact 1: Since Daisy and Jake volunteered for that magic show, they've acted like each other. Fact 2: While Daisy and Jake have been acting like each other, a fleet of pirates who look like the circus freaks we once defeated has shown up. Fact 3: They robbed the mall of jokes but didn't rob anything valuable except for the money." Aquaboy said, "If we could figure out who's behind this, maybe it'll answer some of our questions." While they were thinking, their alarm went off, waking Daike and Jasy up. Then Jasy pushed the button and saw where the emergency was. Jasy said, "Robbery in progress at a top-secret lab." Then Daike and Jasy changed into their Sungirl and Iceboy uniforms and flew out the window to the lab with Heatgirl and Aquaboy.

Once they arrived, they saw the flying pirate ship above the store, and all the windows broke. Iceboy said, "Looks like our pirate friends are back." Once the Justice Brigade arrived, they saw the pirates stealing a power shield and a mutation ray from the lab. Sungirl said, "Drop the technology and surrender." Lina then kicked Sungirl away and tried to blast her with one of the lab's lasers, but she put up her Sun Shield so the beam wouldn't affect her. Sam kept trying to hit Heatgirl, but Heatgirl kept shielding herself by making her hands glow red, allowing Sam to hit her shields. Heatgirl allowed her hand and eyes to shine red along with a table in the room. Then she used her powers to throw it at Sam, but Sam broke it by punching it. Then Heatgirl shot a Heat Beam at Sam and hit him against a wall. Heatgirl pushed Iceboy away and said, "Look out." A whip was whipped at Heatgirl and Iceboy, and Iceboy kicked Roger away. Then Danny grabbed the power shield and the mutation ray and gave their captain a thumbs up. Then she dropped the anchor, and all four pirates climbed on it. Once they were on it, the ship's captain reeled them in and returned them to the boat. Danny said, "Bye now." Lina said, "Until next time, you scurvy dogs." Then, the pirate captain sailed away in the sky with her crew while they wired the power shield to their ship.

Sungirl said, "Great, they got away again." Heatgirl said, "If we only knew where they would strike next." Heatgirl was thinking and then looked down. Once she did, she saw a piece of paper on the ground and picked it up. Heatgirl said, "What's this?" Heatgirl read the sheet and said, "It's a flyer for that magic show we attended at the carnival the other night. They must have dropped it." Heatgirl looked closely at the flyer, and the staff that the magician was holding started to make her eyes twirl again. Daike said, "Heatgirl?" Sungirl snapped her fingers ahead of Heatgirl's face, but she didn't see it. Iceboy said, "Hello, anybody home?" Sungirl said, "Hope this works." Sungirl pointed down and blasted Heatgirl's butt with a Sun Ray from her finger. Once she got hit, Heatgirl snapped out of her trance. Heatgirl freaked and said, "What ya do that for?" Sungirl said, "It's like you got hypnotized." Heatgirl said, "But there's no one here to hypnotize me." The pirate captain used the diamond on her staff to spy on the Justice Brigade and overheard them discussing how Heatgirl had been hypnotized. The pirate captain said, "We'll see about that."

After they snapped Heatgirl out of her trance, the Justice Brigade returned to their house and tried to add up their clues. Hannah said, "First, a joke store and then a top-secret lab. What do these pirates want with all this stuff?" Jasy then turned on the TV and found a commercial for the carnival they had been at the other night. The ringmaster said, "Come to the carnival and enjoy my show." Hannah paid close attention to the commercial, and the ringmaster held her staff towards the TV screen. The diamond started to twirl, and so did Hannah's eyes. The ringmaster said, "We're open till ten; remember, the show is free for all who attend." Hannah said, "The show is free for all who attend." Hannah walked away while her eyes were twirling, put on her superhero uniform, and left their house. Daike followed Heatgirl out of their home and saw her flying away. Daike said, 'Heatgirl? Are you going somewhere?" Heatgirl's eyes then turned black, and she answered Daike. Heatgirl said, "The show is free for all who attend. I'm going to the carnival to enjoy the show." Then Heatgirl flew to the circus, and Daike quickly got into her Sungirl costume and flew after her.

Once she got to the carnival, she snuck backstage and looked for Heatgirl. While Sungirl was looking for Heatgirl, Jasy and Frank picked up an emergency downtown. Then they put on their superhero uniforms, flew downtown, and saw the pirates robbing a jewelry store while the owner was enjoying the carnival circus. Iceboy said, "Yo ho ho, me hearties. Time for us to sink your ship." Iceboy shot one of his ice beams toward the pirate ship, but Lina saw it coming. Lina pointed at Sam and said. "Wasting your time, wannabe." Sam activated the power shield they stole, which canceled Iceboy's ice beam.

Meanwhile, Sungirl used her powers to make her hand glow, illuminating the backstage area. Then she looked at the show, where she saw the magician, whom they had seen the other night, as the ringmaster. The ringmaster said, "Now, welcome new talent to the trapeze. The hooded girl." Then, the hooded girl with Heatgirl's hair and gloves walked on the trapeze wire and made it across. While the show was going on, the ringmaster found Sungirl snooping around backstage. The ringmaster said, "What are you doing back here?" Sungirl said, "Looking for a friend who's been acting weird." Then the hooded girl walked towards them. The ringmaster said, "What are you doing here? Go back out there and do your encore." The girl in the hood took off her hood and showed Sungirl she was Heatgirl. Heatgirl said, "Sungirl?" The ringmaster said, "What was that? Was it free will? Obey me." The ringmaster held her staff up to Heatgirl, and her eyes started to twirl again. Sungirl said, "You're controlling her?" The ringmaster said, "And she's the new member of our crew." The ringmaster held her staff up to Heatgirl and said, "Time for a new encore." Heatgirl's eyes started to twirl again, and then her eyes turned black again, and Heatgirl grabbed Sungirl.

A spotlight shone on the ringmaster, and she introduced Heatgirl's encore. The ringmaster said, "Time for a new talent on the trapeze." Sungirl and Heatgirl were on the same side of the trapeze, but Sungirl was blindfolded. Then, Heatgirl pushed Sungirl off the trapeze and cut her blindfold using a heat beam from her finger. When Sungirl saw where she was, she couldn't believe it. Then Heatgirl jumped off the ledge while holding the trapeze as well. Sungirl flew back, and Heatgirl broke Sungirl's part of the trapeze with her Heat Beams from her fingers. Then, Sungirl fell to her death screaming while Heatgirl jumped off the trapeze, did three flips, and grabbed the trapeze with her legs. Then she swung by, grabbed Sungirl's arms, threw her to the other side of the trapeze, and then jumped there herself. Sungirl said, "Heatgirl, don't scare me like that." Heatgirl looked Sungirl directly in the eyes and said, "How should I scare you?" Sungirl kicked Heatgirl off the trapeze, and while she fell to her death, Heatgirl thought about it hard. Heatgirl said, "Change back. CHANGE BACK!" Heatgirl closed her eyes, broke free of the ringmaster's control, and used her powers to make her eyes glow red again. Then she used her powers to change out of the black cloak and back into her superhero uniform. Then she flew up and landed safely on the ground. Then, Sungirl flew down to her, but the ringmaster took control of Heatgirl again. Heatgirl closed her eyes, and when she opened them, Sungirl saw they were black again. Heatgirl said, "You'll pay for kicking me off."

Heatgirl tried kicking Sungirl, but Sungirl put up her shields on her hands and protected herself from Heatgirl's attacks. Heatgirl then blasted Sungirl with one of her Heat Beams, and she landed at the ringmaster's feet. The ringmaster said, "You can't fight your friend, can you?" Sungirl said, "Maybe not. But as long as she's under your control, she's not my friend. So, I can fight her, but I won't. I'll fight you instead." Sungirl grabbed the ringmaster's staff and pulled it towards her. Sungirl said, "Give me that staff and my friend back." The ringmaster said, "No, they're mine." The ringmaster threw Sungirl off her staff and then retook control of Heatgirl. The ringmaster said, "Don't bother, you fool. She's under my control now." Sungirl said, "Why can you control her and not me?" The ringmaster said, "My staff only works on anything not of this Earth, and since your friend came from space, she's affected." The ringmaster whistled, and Lina flew their pirate ship over the tent and launched a rope inside it. Then Heatgirl and the ringmaster grabbed the rope, and Lina pulled them up, but Sungirl flew after them.

Meanwhile, Iceboy and Aquaboy were dealing with Danny and Roger. Then their pirate ship flew overhead, and when they saw it, they grabbed their bags of jewels and escaped onto their pirate ship. Sungirl said, "Perfect plan. Stealing while doing a show. Who could think of a better one?" Iceboy said, "Nobody, but I know someone who can think of a similar one. And I think I know who's behind this and why the magician looked so familiar to me." The ringmaster said. "Clever. You saw through my disguise." The ringmaster removed her disguise and showed The Justice Brigade who she was. The Justice Brigade saw she was the ship's captain, and they couldn't believe who the pirate captain was. Clownpira showed herself wearing the pirate captain costume and then made their cannons shoot confetti. Clownpira said, "That's right, circus fans, Clownpira's back. And ready to make you laugh." Then she hit The Justice Brigade with her powers, and Sungirl fell right next to one of the flyers for Clownpira's magic act. Sungirl then picked it up, looked at it, and read it. Sungirl said, "Clown-P-Ira's Back. Clownpira's back. That's not a clue; that's a billboard." Iceboy said, "We must pay more attention to these things."

Sungirl flew up to the pirate ship. Clownpira pointed at Roger and said, "Wasting your time, boyish girl." Roger turned on the power shield they stole and trapped their boat in it. Sungirl shot the power shield with her Sun Ray but couldn't get through. Sungirl said, "What? Once we ruined your circus, did you re-open it with a different name?" Clownpira said, "I guess I have found a new power source. My staff controls your friend because she's not of this Earth, and I purposely switched your personalities to confuse your team using my magic powers. And it worked for a little while. The only person I haven't played a trick on is Aquaboy, and I think his trick will come soon enough. I've also been expecting you, so I had my cronies steal this power shield so you can't sink our ship." Sungirl flew back into their house and got an idea. Sungirl said, "I think I know a way to stop Clownpira. But it's going to take some work."

Sungirl, Iceboy, and Aquaboy built a plane and bought equipment from the hardware store. Then, they wore their superhero costumes and got on the plane they made. Daike said, "Remember, don't use your powers." Sungirl flew them to Clownpira's ship. Heatgirl then used a telescope to look around the sky and saw a plane coming their way. Heatgirl said, "Ship Ahoy." Clownpira got mad when she heard Heatgirl and then came above deck. Once she got there, she saw a jet headed their way. Then, Sungirl flipped a switch in it and shot missiles at Clownpira's ship.

Once they got hit, their boat became unbalanced for a few seconds, and they all fell to the ship's side while Heatgirl held onto the mass. Clownpira tried shooting their plane with her powers, but she couldn't escape the power shield. Sungirl took a speaker from inside their jet and turned it on so Clownpira and her crew could hear her. Sungirl said, "It's a power shield. No power can enter or exit it. You're trapped inside, and we can't get inside. But that doesn't mean we can't do this." Sungirl pressed a button in their jet and shot their ship with guns. Clownpira said, "Take 'em out." Danny, Roger, Sam, and Lina shot ropes off their boat and onto The Justice Brigade's jet. Then they slid on the ropes, passed through the power shield since they didn't have powers, and jumped onto the Justice Brigade's jet. Sungirl said, "I would hold on if I were you."

Sungirl made the jet go faster, and the circus freaks held on tight. Then Sungirl flew them upside down and waved goodbye to all 4 of them. Once she flew them upside down, she dropped all four circus freaks in a dumpster and flew right-side up again. Then, Sungirl flew them back to Clownpira's pirate ship. Then Clownpira fired her confetti canyons at them and tried to shoot them down. Iceboy spotted the confetti canyons through a periscope built into his side of the plane and turned on his headset. Iceboy said, "Iceboy to Sungirl. Here comes their confetti canyons. Sungirl flew them up, and the confetti canyons missed. Sungirl said, "Time to separate." Sungirl pulled a lever on her side of the plane, splitting their one big jet into four smaller jets. One crashed down since Heatgirl wasn't flying it, but the others turned on their rockets, flew in different directions, and attacked Clownpira's ship separately. Clownpira and Heatgirl went below deck and activated a satellite dish that passed through the power shield. Then Clownpira pushed the button, and the satellite sent a signal that attacked Sungirl's ship. Heatgirl used a periscope to see what happened and gave Clownpira a thumbs up. Then Clownpira pushed the button again, and the satellite attacked Iceboy's ship. Then Aquaboy shot the satellite with guns built into his ship and blew it up. Aquaboy said, "You may have all 3 of my team members fooled, but I'm still strong."

Clownpira got mad and then pushed a button on her mass, which raised a laser out of the power shield and fired it at Aquaboy's ship. Once he got hit, he got teleported into Clownpira's big top. Then, Clownpira snapped her fingers and transported her and Heatgirl to the big top as well. Once they appeared in the center ring with Aquaboy, Clownpira introduced the show. Clownpira said, "Welcome all." Then, Clownpira used her powers to turn the diamond on her staff into a microphone. Clownpira said, "May I direct your attention toward the center ring, where two of our talents will battle it out?" Heatgirl's eyes were still black, and she had an evil glance in her eyes. Clownpira said, "But before the show starts, I must have a word with our boy competitor." Clownpira said, "You're right. I didn't pull a trick on you yet, but I am now. You will fight your friend, and she will fight you." Aquaboy said, "That's low. You know I won't do that." Clownpira said, "You don't, and you'll surely lose. Let the show begin."

Heatgirl kicked Aquaboy away, and he got hit against the trapeze. Aquaboy stood back up and said, "Heatgirl, listen to me. You're being controlled; you don't want to do this. I'm your friend. Wake up." Clownpira, Heatgirl, and Aquaboy were all waiting for a response. Heatgirl closed her eyes, turned them red again, and snapped out of her trance for a minute. Heatgirl said, "Aquaboy? I, I..." Clownpira retook control of Heatgirl, causing her eyes to turn black once more. Heatgirl said, "I'm a circus pirate. I have no friends." Clownpira said, "Told you she's under my control." Aquaboy ran up to Heatgirl, jumped over her head, and grabbed Clownpira's staff. Aquaboy said, "Give me that staff. I want my friend back." Clownpira said, "No. I created it, it's mine." Aquaboy wouldn't let go, but neither would Clownpira. Lina and Sungirl then ran up to Aquaboy and Clownpira. Sungirl kicked Clownpira away while Lina kicked Aquaboy away. Once she got hit, Clownpira dropped her staff, and it flew up in the air. Sungirl tried to catch it when it landed, but it hit her hands and flew towards Heatgirl. Then Heatgirl grabbed it, still wearing an evil smirk on her face.

Once Heatgirl caught the staff, Iceboy approached her and said, "Great job, Heatgirl. Now, give me 5." Iceboy raised his hand, hoping Heatgirl would give him a high five, but Heatgirl blasted him away with her Heat Ray instead. Clownpira said, "Very good. Now, bring me my staff. Come on." Heatgirl was having difficulty deciding even though her eyes were still black. Sungirl slid in front of Clownpira and spread her arms out to block her. Sungirl said, "Don't listen to her, Heatgirl. She's no longer holding the staff; you are. Snap out of this." The circus freaks then showed up and saw The Justice Brigade with Clownpira. Clownpira said, "Eliminate all 3 of them." Sungirl said, "Fine. I won't fight back. I have one thing to say. Heatgirl, it's the staff or your friend, your choice. Oh, and Iceboy and Aquaboy, don't even consider saving me." Lina then caught Sungirl on a tightrope and pulled her towards her. Lina then reached for Sungirl's mask to take it off and see who Sungirl was. Sungirl said, "Heatgirl, blast her now." Iceboy said, "Heatgirl, Sungirl's in trouble; save her." Heatgirl said, "Sungirl?" Aquaboy then kicked Clownpira's staff out of Heatgirl's hand, flying towards the bleachers and hitting them. Once it hit the bleachers, the diamond broke, and so did Heatgirl's trance, and Sungirl and Iceboy switched their personalities back. Then Heatgirl's eyes returned to normal, and she blasted Lina away from Sungirl before she unmasked her.

Clownpira couldn't believe she had lost to The Justice Brigade again, so she whistled, and the boy circus freaks came with their flying pirate ship and threw both Clownpira and Lina ropes. Clownpira said, "Next time, suckers." Clownpira held Lina's hand, snapped her fingers, and brought them to the ship while she laughed evilly. Then, Clownpira raised the power shield, preventing the Justice Brigade from following them, and they escaped.

Once the Justice Brigade got home, they all sat on their sofa while having hot chocolate. They all clinked their cups together because they won again. Hannah said, "Clownpira and her cronies got away, but at least Daisy, Jake, and I are all back to normal." Daisy said, "Yep. No more Daike for me." Jake said, "And no more Jasy for me." Then, the Justice Brigade all laughed. Daisy said, "That's one thing we like about Clownpira. She's full of laughs." The Justice Brigade all continued laughing until they chose to stop.
