After she does this, Dave Dragon (Hulk Hogan) tries to stop her by infiltrating the control room. He successfully defeats Medusa's henchmen but is then brought down by Medusa after she uses her whip on him. Her henchmen tie him up after that. Knowing that Dragon won't be a problem Medusa goes with her henchmen to the middle of the park to pick up the $10 million which the owner drops from a helicopter. After recovering 2 bags of money, Amanda (one of the protagonists) uses her toy helicopter to destroy the bag of money. After seeing that it was Amanda who destroyed her last bag of money, Medusa kidnaps her and tells her that she will keep her as a slave for 50 years for the money

that she cost her. But after surprises her by handcuffing her to a pipe, and setting of a bomb that she will leave behind. By this point Medusa had squeezed herself into a wetsuit. The 3 main protagonists attempt to save Amanda from the evil clutches of Medusa. They successfully defeat most of Medusa's ninja henchmen, and finally get to Medusa. Medusa then shoots out all the lights, leaving the 3 protagonists to her henchmen, and then fleeing.

They attach the bomb to an oxygen tank on rollers and try to break the valve to send it speeding forward out of danger but do not posses the strength required to break it. Luckily Dragon comes and he manages to break the valve and send the ticking bomb torpedoing towards Medusa's getaway ship.

The explosion catches the attention of the authorities, and they quickly arrest Medusa on a nearby beach,who is clutching her bag of money.
