A Team of their Own

A Team of their Own is the first episode of season two of The ACS, and the nineteenth episode overall. In this episode, Bryce McMillions tricks and captures the ACS, trapping them in an inanimate void. However, after noticing the ACS' disappearance, Invader Rob attempts to investigate, and a new team is formed: the Non-ACS!
==Plot==
As a standard evening goes by, Rob decides to visit his friendly neighborhood ACS at their HQ. After his previous visit to the HQ, Nozus had installed Rob's retina into the security system, allowing Rob access to the HQ via its retina scan. No one is in the HQ, so Rob figures the team is off doing some mission. Hours go by as Rob begins devouring everything inside their fridge and leaving trails of garbage in his wake. Eventually, Rob falls asleep and wakes up the next day and the ACS still aren't present. Finally realizing something is wrong, Rob briefly takes on an alter ego based on Sherlock Holmes. Equipping himself with a deerstalker and Inverness cape, Rob begins closely investigating the HQ for any suspicious signs.
After Rob finds nothing, he realizes he is a horrible detective. He instead decides to review the footage on the security cameras, and he subsequently sees everything unfold: droids with overpowered stun guns invaded the HQ and detained all the members of the ACS. As the members are dragged away, Bryce McMillions oversees the whole incident. Realizing if the seven of them were easily defeated by the droids, Rob stands no chance against them by himself, so Rob decides to form a team of his own.
Rob immediately visits MattBoo first at his apartment in Downtown City Square. He presents MattBoo with the issue at hand and requests his assistance. Since MattBoo is a Boo, he can become intangible and thus invulnerable to the droids stuns guns and other weaponry. MattBoo agrees to help but questions what Hagel will do. Rob is confused, but then Hagel gets out of Matt's bathroom and Rob understands what Matt means. Matt explains that Hagel just appeared in his apartment earlier this morning, and Rob adds on that Hagel likes appearing in places he's not welcomed. Regardless, Rob decides to take Hagel along as he could serve as an excellent distraction.
Next, the trio decides to contact their old acquaintance Chrome, but he rebuffs their requests and doesn't want anything to do with the ACS. Rob still believes they need an android to fill in their technological gap, and Matt has the perfect candidate: Animus. However, Matt doesn't know where to find him, so the three take a trip to Rob's Base below the Nicktropolis National Park. Matt is impressed while Hagel begins vandalizing the base. Rob states that his supercomputer is linked to the same database as the one in the ACS HQ. Rob triangulates Animus' location and the three approach him. He is ardent to join.
Now with his own fireteam, Rob puts his plan into action and the four sneak into the McMillions Family Friendly Corporation facility where they assume the ACS is being held. However, their cover is immediately compromised by Hagel so the team flees into a highspeed express elevator while Hagel jumps inside a dumbwaiter. Already separated, Rob begins to doubt the team's success rate. Animus states that security is probably alerted, armed, and ready for them, so the team gets out of the elevator via service hatch. When the elevator door opens below, Bryce McMillions and his security enter. As the elevator goes at least twenty floors below ground surface, the trio try to remain inconspicuous. When the elevator stops at a sub-level, Rob tells Matt to use his intangibility and invisibility to follow Bryce. Rob or Animus would make too much noise to open the service hatch again and jump down to follow Bryce. The elevator door closes again when two guards enter, so Rob and Animus drop down and beat the guards.
Matt follows Bryce to a secret section of the building where the ACS is being held captive in an inanimate void. While Bryce calls someone to discuss that he has the members subdued, Matt attempts to free them but is electrocuted in the process. Bryce angrily calls his guards to dispose of Matt and subsequently, two guards enter and drag Matt out. The guards are, however, Rob and Animus, who defeated and stripped the other guards of their clothing back in the elevator. While Animus drags an unconscious Matt into the janitor's office, Rob is approached by another guard who is requesting his help in subduing an enemy. The enemy is, in fact, Hagel who is sweeping the floor with guards. Rob is amazed as he never thought Hagel could fight. Suddenly, Hagel focuses on Rob, who tries to explain that he's not who Hagel thinks he is. Hagel is not listening so Rob decides to fight back.
Meanwhile, droids detect that Animus is not a real guard and attack him. Though he puts up a fight, Animus is ultimately rendered unconscious. The droids find an unconscious MattBoo and do the same to Rob and Hagel, thus ending their fight. The four of them awake the next day, united alongside the ACS. Bryce explains that the heroes were ignorant to think that they stood a chance against him, and that they'll share the same fate as the ACS. They've lost. Rob is disappointed that he didn't even get to name his group. Suddenly, the droids malfunction and begin to somehow reprogram themselves. They turn on Bryce and attack him and several other guards, and then Chrome's face appears on Bryce's computer screen. Chrome beamed his programming and consciousness into Bryce's computer system and reprogrammed his droids. As Bryce calls for backup, Chrome releases the ACS and Rob's newly formed group that he decides to call the Non-ACS. The teams fight alongside each other and take down Bryce.
Later that day, the two teams rejoice over their success at the ACS HQ and John personally thanks Rob for his triumph. Bagel calls John over to confer in private about possibly inaugurating them as members of the team, but John rebuffs this decision claiming the ACS is out of positions. Instead, John comes to the conclusion that Rob is willing to maintain and preserve his team so John decides to officially affiliate with Rob, making the Non-ACS a branch of the regular ACS. Situated at Rob's Base, the Non-ACS can contact the ACS anytime for assistance.
