Synopsis:
Since her capture by the Femforce, Rad has been off the V-45
drug long enough to lose all of her powers and begin aging.
Attempting to restore Joan's personality, Stardust
administers a dose of the Ms. Victory V-47 formula.
Unfortunately, although the vitamin restores her youth and
her powers, Joan retains her Rad personality, breaks free,
and escapes. Determined to teach the Femforce a lesson about
leaving her alone, Rad impersonates the old Ms. V. to make
the team think that she has reformed, then spikes their
champagne with the youth formula she's developed.
Ironically, the now-teenaged Femforce is now powerless to
help Rad combat a team of mercenaries secretly hired by
General Gordon to eliminate her. Soon after Rad crashes out
of Femforce HQ, she is attacked by Kallima, Shred,
Frostbite, and Valkoray. She defeats the quartet but is
badly injured in the battle, softening her for a follow-up
attack by Rip Jaw and Lone Star. Rip Jaw is about to kill
Rad when he is driven off by Lone Star, who wants to take
her in alive. Delivering Rad to Gordon's men, Lone Star
collects his money and exits just as Rad breaks out of the
weak shackles Lone Star had deliberately placed her in. Rad
tracks down Lone Star and takes his money, though she only
hurts him a little since he saved her life and allowed her
to escape the G-men. Back at Femforce HQ, the youth formula
wears off,and the team returns to normal just as Stella
becomes a child after unwittingly drinking the spiked
champagne. |
