[edit] Synopsis
JJ and his new Team Venture, including The Pirate Captain, Sally Impossible, and Ned, take on their first arch-enemy, The Monarch. JJ has created a 4-part robot, Ventronic, which he uses to combat his new nemesis, and he and his team are able to give The Monarch a run for his money. After a few intense minutes of fighting The Monarch retreats back to his lair, but not before dropping off 21, 24, and the new Henchman 1 to perform a Dark S-Seven maneuver. JJ, confused about the arching business, contacts the O.S.I., who promptly send over two specialists, Mr. Doe and Mr. Cardholder, to assist him. The duo, greeted by The Pirate Captain at the door, quickly dispose of the captain via a tranquilizer dart, which incidentally forms an addiction for the captain. Brock is also called in to aid JJ, mostly because of his expertise with "butterflies." The four of them work together to connive the downfall of The Monarch, who has apparently killed his 5 previous arches. JJ plans on using Scaramantula's "late 60s death ray," to deal with The Monarch and his flying "pine cone." Meanwhile, 1, 21, and 24 complete the Dark S-Seven maneuver in the museum area of Spider-Skull Island. Brock alerts JJ that intruders are in the museum wing of the island, and offers to either fire the death ray or check out the museum. JJ chooses the latter.
Brock rushes to the museum and quickly spots Henchmen 1, whom he chases throughout the base until he finally catches him and beats him to a bloody pulp. Elsewhere, JJ fires his death ray at The Monarch's Cocoon, which is actually just an illusion meant to throw JJ off and allow The Monarch an opportunity to arch Dr. Venture again.
