Star Force: Zack Knew Too Much

Plot Synopsis
Ophiuchus heads to where Taurus Fire is making holes in the ground and asks what the hell he is doing. Taurus gets all downsy and is like "I'm helping :D" Ophiuchus points out that what he is doing is pointless, and then MegaMan shows up and starts blasting. They don't even bother to fight him and run away. Geo is pretty glad about that since he's sleepy anyway.

The next day Luna and Bud make up and Bud asks Luna to tutor him again, to which she agrees. Zack meanwhile grabs Geo aside to leave Bud and Luna alone so that their love will bloom. Geo is like "um... ok?" Then Zack runs around spying on Luna and Bud... even in the bathroom. Bud and Luna don't seem to be acting any different in Geo's mind, getting into arguments about stupid things and what not, and even Zack starts to doubt it. Zack figures they must be trying to keep the whole thing secret.

While this is going on, Omega-Xis puts two and two together and figures Ophiuchus and Taurus are using Cygnus wave change machine to materialize into their human counter parts and that's who Zack saw. At that moment, Ophiuchus and Taurus in their human forms arrive at an Aquatic themed hotel resort plaza thing which they think holds enough water to flood the city (sounds ridiculous here in text, but actually looks reasonable in the cartoon). Zack happens to spot them, and they recognize him as the kid who was following them. Zack screams out for them to forgive him and he'll keep their "secret." Ophiuchus and Taurus think Zack means their secret as FMians and decide they need to kill Zack, and Zack faints.

Geo calls Zack up on his transer, presumably about the FMians, and Zack is already in trouble. Geo pulses in quickly as MegaMan and rushes to the scene. There he faces Taurus Fire and Ophiuchus Queen at the same time, and they use their attacks together along with Cancer Bubble helping along at the headquarters slotting in Battle Cards. The fight is really short though as Taurus loses energy, and MegaMan uses the Star Force Fire Leo to take them down fast.

When Zack wakes up, Geo tells him about the whole mess with the FMians and who he saw.

Critique
Zack is really a creepy fucker this episode... like wow. It's bad enough he followed them the first time, but I guess that was idle curiosity. The rest of this episode though, I mean, the bathroom just seals the deal. Even Geo is weirded out by him. We see some slight depth with the rest of the characters regarding their friendship, but not much, and the fight scene at the end is really weak. Overall, not a great episode.

Rating: Thumbs Down.
