Description
Eleanor and Sandra flew down to the ground in front of Peugot's lab 10 miles away (where Sandra found out they were taking Jenny, Amy and Starfire) in their LionessGirlGamer and AgentSandraCartrip forms and gently set Finn, Leland, Rod and Raspberry down on the ground, too. It was a slight struggle for them to carry all 3 of them plus a Cloud Antelope through the sky, even though they were in their human forms, but they managed it together nonetheless.
"How are we going to get in? The place is locked up like a fortress!" Said Finn.
"I know one way in." Leland spoke up as he looked at the lab building through Eleanor's binoculars. "There's a secret tunnel that lead from the river and run underneath the building. If someone can swim through that and get to the underwater circuits, which power everything in the building including the security system, and deactivate them, then the other 4 of us can get in undetected by the security system!" He explained.
"I can do that." Rod volunteered. "I'll swim through the tunnel and deactivate the circuits for ya."
"Alright then. That's settled." Leland accepted.
"And after he's done that, you and I will enter through the front door whilst Sandra and Eleanor will get in by using the roof." Finn added.
"Under, over and in the middle." Sandra nodded in agreement as she stroked Raspberry on the back of the head. "Makes sense. And I'll see if I can make Raspberry stay here, out of trouble."
"Just hang on a little longer, you 3. We're coming..." Eleanor muttered to herself in worry for her friends.

At the same time, deep within the lab, Starfire suddenly awoke. Not slowly, but abrupt, like waking up from a nightmare. It took a moment for her eyes to adjust to the intensity of the light in the room, and when they did, Starfire realised, much to her horror, that she was strapped to a high-tech chair of some sort, kinda like a surgeon's chair, and she was wearing what appeared to be a hospital gown.
"Ah, good. You're awake." A voice said, and, once again, Starfire needed a moment for her eyes to adjust because the lights in the room were so bright, that at the moment, she could only see his silhouette. Then when he turned around, examining some drugs he was holding, she saw immediately that it was Keates. Peugot and Zundapp were in the corner, looking at numerous computer screens.
"Oh god! You!" Starfire gasped in panic and tried to struggle against her restraints, but to no avail.
"Don't struggle. It will only make it worse." Zundapp told her.
"What have you done with Amy and Jen?!"
"They're fast asleep in seperate rooms." Peugot answered her. "We haven't harmed them... yet..." Then Peugot smiled ominously.
"And like I said a few minutes ago, we've at last caught the owner of the 5th crystal, as well as the wielder of water and Earth." Keates said in glee, which reminded Starfire: where was her crystal? Without it, she couldn't use her powers and therefore couldn't escape. "Looking for this?" It was almost like Keates read her thoughts as he pulled out her snowy-white crystal, which had lost its fluorescent glow because he was the one holding it. Her eyes widened.

"You can't do this! Let me go!" Starfire yelled.
"We're the ones who call the shots around here, Starfire." Then he leaned in towards her until he was only 2 inches away from her face, like a shark examining its prey, and he whispered in her ear, "And I've got you right where I want you."
"You psycho." Starfire said, her voice shaking in a mixture of anger and fear.
"Oh, I'm not a psycho. Just a scientist." Keates replied, then turned around and walked back towards the drug cabinets. "A misunderstood one, of course." As he said this particular part, he threw his hand down onto the desk, which caused Starfire to flinch, and his voice was laced with venom.
"Oh yeah? And has anyone ever told you that you sound almost exactly like Woody?" Starfire whispered to herself because of what Keates' voice sounded like.
"Did you just say something to me?!" Keates quickly turned around and looked at Starfire with a dirty glare, his eyes drilling deep into her soul. "If you've got something you wanna say, then say it to my face!"
"Nope. Nothing at all." Starfire pretended to act all innocent, but her fear overwhelmed her again as she watched him prep a syringe.

Meanwhile, Rod was still in his human form and was swimming through the underwater tunnel by using his C.H.R.O.M.E diving suit, and once he reached the circuits on the tunnel wall, he tore the access panel off with a grunt and threw it off to the side and into the depths before quickly ripping all the cables and wires out of their sockets. After many attempts a minute or 2 beforehand, Sandra had managed to get Rasberry to stay behind, hidden in the woods outside the lab so that she didn't get into any trouble.
Back in the lab, Keates had just selected a drug to use on Starfire when suddenly, all the lights switched off and so did the computer screens. Keates, Peugot and Zundapp all turned on the torches they had.
"What the hell?" Said Peugot.
"Must be a power cut." Keates suggested. "Stay here. I'll be right back, and no experimentation will be done until I get back!"
Zundapp and Peugot nodded, and Keates walked out the room, carrying his torch with him.

"Okay. You're all clear to go in, guys, but be quick. I bet they'll fix it soon." Rod told Finn, Leland, Sandra and Eleanor through the comm link.
"Thanks. And good luck." Finn said.
"You too." Replied Rod, and he set off further into the tunnel.
"Do you think he'll be okay?" Eleanor asked Sandra, who answered with,
"Of course! He'll be fine. He's Mr. Cool!"
Although 2 minutes later, after Keates had donned his own diving suit and gotten to the circuits to fix them, he noticed the way they were broken. They'd been ripped out of their sockets. Almost as if a person had done it...
"Huh?" Keates said under his breath upon noticing this, and after putting the cables back into their sockets, he realised why they looked like that and what was happening.

Rod was swimming even further through the tunnel, and all was silent apart from the sound of his breathing and the gentle hiss of the oxygen tank. He was starting to think, to his relief, that he was almost there, when he detected someone swimming up to him from behind.
"What the-" Rod began to say to himself before a fight ensued between him and his pursuer, whom he discovered to be Keates after seeing his face through his own helmet, and eventually, after about 30 seconds, Keates managed to grab Rod around the neck and held him in place. Rod winced slightly because of the awkward angle his head was at, right before Keates injected him through his diving suit with something that wasn't anaesthetic, as it caused his arms and legs to feel numb and tired and he felt slightly woozy, but without falling unconscious. Then Keates began to drag him away into the depths of the eerie, dark water. Rod didn't exactly know what was in store for him, but he had a feeling it wasn't going to be good.
