Roxy landed on a sidewalk.
"Where am I?" She looked around.
None of the signs were in English.
Roxy checked the GPS on her watch.
She gulped. "I'm on the other side of the world!
I have to get back to Metro City before Vic Nebula disappears!"
Roxy used her super rocket speed and shot into the air.
Boom! Her speed created a sonic boom that shook buildings.
Roxy gritted her teeth.
She flew over the clouds and into space.
She passed over the North Pole and then headed back down to Earth.
Lakes, fields, mountains, and cities flashed by below her.
"Yes!" Roxy cried. "There's Metro City!"
As Roxy raced toward Metro City University, she used her x-ray vision.
She saw Vic Nebula holding bundles of money.
The scientist was about to step into a wormhole!
Zoom! Roxy smashed through the wall of the lab.
She slammed into Vic and knocked her away from the wormhole.
"Gah!" Vic tried to run away.
Roxy grabbed the villain's arm.
Vic swung her arm away.
Roxy's fingers hit buttons on the wormhole device.
Suddenly dozens of wormholes popped open in the lab!
Roxy leaped toward Vic.
They tumbled through a wormhole and landed in downtown Metro City.
Vic tried to push Roxy through another wormhole.
Roxy grabbed her, and they fell through together.
This time they landed in the computer center at school.
"Rocket Girl!" Mara cried.
"Grr!" Roxy tried again to steal the wormhole device.
Crash! She and Vic knocked over chairs as they fought.
They fell into another wormhole and were back in Vic's lab.
Roxy fired her eye laser beams at the device.
"Ouch!" Vic cried.
The device fell from her hand.
She stumbled backward and fell into a wormhole.
The device hit the floor.
Crack! Instantly all the wormholes vanished.
Vic was gone too.
Roxy picked up the broken device.
"Vic can't come back without this.
I wonder where she is now."
She looked around the lab.
"At least she didn't get away with the money!"
Roxy returned to the computer center at school.
"Did Vic Nebula help you catch the villain?" Terrell whispered.
Roxy shook her head.
"Vic Nebula was the villain.
She got away, but she'll never come back." Roxy shrugged.
"At least I have a new idea for my research project."
"What's that?" Terrell asked.
"Wormholes!" Roxy grinned.
