Though the Guardians tried hard to sneak around the house, Cutter seemed to be suspicious. Frequent checks of the yard did not reveal the Guardians, but they were still forced to give up. Crocodile decided to try and bluff his way into the house, and provoke a fight. This did not work, except for the fight part. The three occupants of the house easily held off the Guardians. Ice Princess fought White Leopard to a stalemate, while Crocodile and Entropy were unable to handle Cutter and Powerman. Crocodile went down, followed soon by Entropy. Magnet Master lost two of his metal dogs, but wisely stayed away from battle.
White Leopard fled from combat. Reviving, Entropy grabbed Crocodile and jetted out the glass doors. All Guardians fled to the van, followed by Powerman. He issued a threat to the Guardians, Entropy counterthreatened and the Guardians withdrew. Crocodile remained unconscious.
An SOS to Quiasar followed, and the Guardians waited for reinforcements. A sonic boom was heard, indicating that the targets had fled. When Quiasar and Shadow Knight joined the team, they investigated. The house was thoroughly searched, with a secret lab found in the barn. Data for a ship was found. The Guardians researched areas where the officer could take the ransom for the beauty contestants. The Guardians went to target country, and staked out the bank.
After the ransom was delivered, the two men made a large withdrawal from the bank. The Guardians waited for the two men at the ship. When they approached the ship, the Guardians attacked. Shadow Knight covered himself and Entropy with darkness. The plan called for everyone who could attacking the officer. Ice Princess emerged from the ship and knocked out Magnet Master. The tag team approach rattled the Cutter, and he took out some gadget and triggered it.
Cutter was knocked out, but the robot he summoned entered the battle. Despite painful cramping, Quiasar went after Ice Princess. Entropy faced off against the robot and its laser cannon. Disaster struck when Cutter revived, got up, and knocked out Croc. White Leopard fought against both Powerman and Ice Princess while Entropy and Shadow Knight fought the robot. The robot gunned down Entropy and Powerman knocked out White Leopard.
As Quiasar had been knocked out, Shadow Knight was left alone. He retreated, but returned to wake Quiasar. Quiasar revived and waited for his chance. Cleverly, he snatched the money and the Guardians and went under the water. The Guardians, therefore, escaped with the money. The villains escaped with the robot. Neither side was in a celebratory mood.
CONCLUSION: Cutter is one of the most powerful opponents we ever faced. It did not help that we faced him in an inept manner. In the future, we should leave breaking and entering to the government. Fighting blindly left the Guardians to weak to deal with the enemy when the time came.
