Continued from previous episode….

Time:0514
Location: Jungle in Peru

“We’re almost into the woods,” said Gold Tooth to Jack.
“What do you mean?” asked Jack as he fired at the Agents’ jet above him.
“Up ahead,’ replied Gold Tooth,’ Is a dense part of the jungle where we can park and they can’t shoot at us. You can’t hit what you cant't see.”
Up in the jet…
Fuse looked at his screen. The targeting computer locked on. Fuse pressed the button. The missiles flew through the air.
“Please…” said Fuse.
“Oh, no!” shouted Jack.
Wham! The missile hit the detonator! They both blasted in a large explosion, throwing the gold off the truck.
“You’ll pay!” shouted Jack. He aimed his sub-machine guns and hit the wings!
“Uh!” Fuse pressed the button and another missile hit the truck! All three bailed out of their vehicles. Gold Tooth jumped up.
“Run!” They ran down the road until… Wham! A grenade landed in front of them! Lasers poured down from the sky! They looked up and saw Fuse on a parachute, firing at them with a laser rifle! Fuse landed on the road, and Chase and Charge pulled up in the turbo car.
“Git shot down, little man?” asked Charge.
“Kinda,” replied Fuse.
“Where’d they go?” asked Chase.
“Ran off,’ answered Fuse,’ Maybe they jumped in a lake!”
“Be nice if day did,” said Charge.
Back at the clearing…
The turbo car pulled up. Fuse was sitting on the GPS, and squeezed between Chase and Charge.
“Yo shoulda rode in da trunk,” grumbled Charge.
“You should of worn deodorant,” snickered Fuse.
“Cut it out,” said Chase. “Something’s wrong. The villagers don’t look happy.” The villagers ran up to the turbo car. Chase turned on his translator gadget.

“I can’t believe it,’ said Chase, ‘they captured Trace.” Dr. Inferno stood in his cell laughing evilly.
Chase walked over to his cell. “What’s so funny?”
“The fact that you lost this fight,” said Inferno.
“We did?” said Charge as he and Fuse walked over to join Chase and Inferno.
“You did,’ replied Inferno, ’You might have stopped Gold Tooth, but your teammate was captured by Inferno, so you were defeated.”
“Got news,” said Chase. “The fight’s not over yet.”
“It’s not?” asked Inferno.
“It’s not.” said Chase.

Later….

“Keep scanning, Charge,” said Chase. Charge was using several different satellites to locate a possible Inferno base.
“Yo, Chase!” shouted Fuse. “Look what I just got!” He waved a paper at Chase “Clancy just received word that an oil rig in the Caribbean was taken over by Inferno, think that’s were they’re holding Trace?”
“Maybe,” replied Chase. He pushed a button on the computer.
“Request granted,” said the computer.
“What are yo doin’?” asked Charge.
“I’m going to take the speedboat and rescue Trace. Alone.”
“Alone! Are yo nuts?”
“Maybe, but just a little. If I need you, I’ll call.”
“But…” Chase had already left the room.

Date: Classified
Time: 0834 hours
Location: 5 miles from the oil rig.

Chase looked at the scanner. A blip showed on the computer. Chase turned the speedboat to find the blip. “It appears to be 3 miles from the oil rig,” thought Chase.

Two miles away…

“Wait ‘til Chase gets here,” said Trace to Break Jaw. “He’ll beat you so far down in your boots, that you’ll have to pull down your socks to see out!” Trace’s arms were tied on a rope, that was extended on a boom from a buoy.
“Like that’ll happen,” said Break Jaw. “Face it, Trace, you can’t win.”
“Oh, sure,” said Trace. “Look behind you.”
“Oh, boy,” said Break Jaw. The Agents speedboat was closing in.
“Yikes,” said Chase. “There are mines planted in the water, according to my screen.”
“He stopped,” said Break Jaw. “He must have detected my mines.”
“He’s smarter than you think, Break Jaw,” said Trace.
“Shut it!” shouted Break Jaw.
Chase opened the hatch and grabbed the zip line tool from a hook. He pushed a button on the speedboat’s computer. The harpoon shot out from the boat, and hooked onto the buoy. Chase zipped across the line and onto the buoy.
“So, Break Jaw,’ said Chase,’ We meet again.”
“So we have,” said Break Jaw. “Have you ever faced a ninja?"
“No,’ said Chase,’ but if they fight like you, they’re a bunch of wimps.”
“You’ll pay for that.” Break Jaw ran at Chase, and knocked him down. Trace swung back and forth on her chain, and kicked Break Jaw in the head. He splashed into the ocean.
Chase grabbed one of his pistols, and shot a laser at the chain. The laser cut the chain. Chase caught Trace, set her down, and unhooked the rest of the chain. “You alright?” asked Chase.
“I think so,” said Trace.
“Thanks for saving me.” “Don’t tell the oth…” said Chase.
“You freak!” shouted Break Jaw. “If you knew what was coming you wouldn’t laugh!” He pushed a button on belt. Part of the buoy blew, and a small escape boat came out. Break Jaw jumped in and sped off.
“The buoy’s sinking!” said Chase. He pushed the Agents logo on his suit. His heli-pack activated, and they flew to the speedboat and landed on it. Trace hopped into the speedboat’s controls, and they sped off.
“To the oil rig!” shouted Chase. “We have to get Inferno off of it!”
“Hang tight,” said Trace. “I’m picking up something on the radar.”
“Sharks!” said Chase. “With rocket launchers, and pulse rays?!?” The two sharks had surfaced and opened fire! Trace weaved the speedboat left and right to avoid the fire. "They're robots!"
Chase pushed two buttons. The speedboat’s missiles flew at one of the sharks. Boom!
Chase punched in another button. A net landed on the other shark. Chase flipped a switch and the net produced electricity and zapped the shark.
“That only stunned it,” said Trace. She pushed a button on the controls. The pod detached, and dove under. She fired at the shark with the laser cannons and the shark was no more.
“Nice work,” said Chase as the pod attached back to the speedboat.
“Thanks.” Trace smiled at him.
“Good knight!” shouted Chase. “What in the world is going on!”
They had arrived at the oil rig. And it wasn’t what they had expected. Inferno henchmen were evacuating the oil rig! One was thrown out a window, and into the ocean. Charge popped his head out of the window!
“Take dat ya maroon!” he shouted. Fuse popped his head out.
“Don’t you mean moron?” he asked.
“Maybe,” said Charge. He noticed Chase and Trace.
“Oh, hey guys! Whazz’s up?”
“What? How? Why? Where?…Oh, for crying out loud!” said Chase.

Later on the oil rig…

“So we got bored,’ said Charge,’ and I was like, Fuse, we oughta go take dat oil rig, ourselves, and Fuse was like…”
“Just a minute, moose breath, I was like, Charge, Chase can’t rescue Trace, and capture the oil rig at the same time, and you said you wanted to watch your Veggietales DVDs, and then I reminded you that I had a hot dog roast with them, and you decided..”
Charge clamped his hand over Fuse’s mouth.
Chase rolled his eyes.
“Hey, Trace,’ said Chase,’ wanna go to dinner tonight?”
“Really?” said Trace. “Sure, I’d love too!”
“Can I come?” asked Charge.
“Absolutely not!” shouted Chase and Trace together.
“Aw, nuts.”

“The price we owed you for the location of Agents’ HQ was the capture of an Agent,” said Spy Clops to Break Jaw.
“Now cough up the location!”
“I lost her to Chase!” said Break Jaw, “I need another Agent!”
Spy Clops grabbed Break Jaw’s helmet and pulled it off his head.
“I think not,” said Spy Clops. “When your helmet was made, it was modified with a brain wave scanner, it downloaded your memory over the weeks since you joined Inferno. Tough luck.” He walked away.
“Hmm….” thought Break Jaw. “Spy Clops, Not I, but you will pay.”

WHOOSH! The Agents’ jet flew over the jungle. “This is Agent Fuse contacting Agent MCC. Come in, MMC,” said Fuse into the headset in his helmet.
At the MCC…
Trace was driving the MCC with Chase in the passenger seat, and Charge in the trailer.
“This is Agent Chase,” said Chase. “What’s your situation?”
“Same as usual, I‘ve seen no Inferno activity.”
“Strange, Interalliance reports said that Inferno was planning a raid on a ancient tomb in this area.”
“What do you think they’re after?”
“Gold, probably. There’s a lot in this area.”
“What do they want gold for, anyway?”

“Break Jaw, you fuss about my teams bungling every operation, and yet you blow your own mission,” shouted Spy Clops.
“It’s not my fault!” shouted Break Jaw. His hand was wrapped in a bandage.
“Charge got in my way!”
“That’s what they do to my teams,’ hollered Spy Clops,’ except for the fact that my men don’t get so bad they need a medic!
“Your hand has never been zapped by electricity. Besides the medic said that it will heal!” fired back Break Jaw.
Spy Clops grabbed Break Jaw by his collar and lifted him off the ground.
“Tell me,’ shouted Spy Clops,’ The location of Agents Headquarters! Or YOU will pay the price!”
“If I lowered the price, would accept it?” gasped Break Jaw.
“Maybe,” said Spy Clops.
“I’ll tell you the price.” (The price will be revealed in Lego Agents episode 6! Don‘t miss it.)

Gold Tooth walked into a hut in a small native village. “Anything for me, matey?” he asked the henchman who had come with him.
“Yes sir,” said the henchman. “Quite a lot, actually.”
“I’d prefer ye call me ‘Capt’in,’ Jack,” said Gold Tooth.
“Yes, Capt’in,” said Jack.
“Spy Clops said to let you know that we are abort the mission, and return to base.”
“What?!?’ exclaimed Gold Tooth,’ after all we have done? We’ve traded and made peace with the natives, and now, he’s calling us back?”
“That’s what he said.”
“Okay, then. We will return to base. But not until we get the gold! I’ll get the two trucks ready. We will keep the gold to ourselves!”
“50-50?” asked Jack.
“Of course.”
“You sure treat your workers nice.”
“I’ve read that if you respect your men, they will respect you,” replied Gold Tooth.

“This is Agent Fuse to MMC. Come in, MCC,” squawked Fuse’s voice over the radio.
“This is Agent Chase at MMC, over,” said Chase.
“I’ve spotted a clearing due east.”
“Keep searching for Inferno, We’ll investigate the clearing, over!”

Time:0435
Location: 2 mi. from the clearing.

The side of the trailer opened, and the turbo car drove out.
“We’ll call you, if we need you,” said Chase to Trace via radio.
“Copy that,” said Trace.
“BTW,’ said Charge,’ Why ain’t Trace and da MMC with us?”
“If we get in a jam, Trace will bring the MMC so we can use its secret gadgets.”
“What are da secret gadgets in da MMC besides the mini-vehicles?”
“If I told you, they wouldn’t be secret.” (The secrets of the MMC will be told in Lego Agents episode 8!)

In the clearing…
Gold Tooth hooked a shovel on side of the truck.
“Okay, matey, lets go,’” said Gold Tooth. They both climbed into the pick-up trucks. Some natives climbed into the trailers.
VROOOMMMMM!!!!! The turbo car burst through the jungle, and into the village.
“Trace!” shouted Chase into his headset. “Gold Tooth has the natives captured! Get here now!”
Charge and Chase reached under the dash and grabbed their weapons. Chase held up his laser pistols. Charge stuck a magazine into his Gatling machine gun.
“How can you fire that thing?” wondered Chase.
“Ah gots muscles,” replied Charge.
“Careful,’ said Chase, ’Don’t hit any natives.”
Gold Tooth and Jack jumped out of the trucks. Gold Tooth pulled his custom gold-plated pistol, and fired. His lasers missed Chase and Charge by a mile.
“He ain’t ever taken shooting lessons,” snickered Charge.
“I’d worry about him,” shouted Chase, pointing at Jack. The henchman had two sub-machine guns trained on Chase and Charge.
“Look out!” shouted Chase, as Jack opened fire. He and Charge jumped for cover behind the trees. The natives started jumping off the truck, spears in hand.
“Ya know,’ said Charge, ‘if ah didn’t know better, I’d say dat they are comin’ after us.”
“Might be a reason for that, you lame brain,” said Chase. “They are coming after us!”
“Yikes!” shouted Charge. He aimed his Gatling at the natives.
“No!” shouted Chase. “Don’t hurt them, just disarm them, or we’ll have more trouble! Take out Inferno only!”
“You’re no fun,” groaned Charge. A native ran at Chase. Chase jumped into the air and kicked the spear out of his hand.
A big native ran towards Charge, and swung his spear at him. “Don’t yo know dat yo could poke out someone’s eyes wit’ dat?” asked Charge, as he grabbed the spear and snapped it over his knee.
Six natives surrounded Chase. Chase made a roundhouse kick, and sent their spears flying through the air.
Charge fired electric bolts at one of the pick-ups. The bolts bounced off, thanks to the truck’s armor plating. Charge snatched a spear out of a native’s hand and drove it into the armor plating. The handle was made of wood, yet the point was made of steel. Charge touch the point on the spear. The bolts form his glove went through the point, through the hood and into the engine. Booooom! The truck exploded!
Gold Tooth hopped into the remaining truck.
“Hey, Jack, jump in!” he shouted. Jack jumped into the passenger’s seat, and the truck drove off.
CRASH!!!! Chase and Charge turned around. The MMC pulled up into the village.
“Hiya, hot shot!” said Trace, as she jumped out of the cab.
“No time for sweet talk!” said Charge. “Follow dat truck!”
“The MMC can’t catch up to that truck in time!” said Chase. He grabbed his radio. “Fuse, this is Chase. Gold Tooth and his henchman got away. I need you to pursue them!”
“Roger,” said Fuse.
Chase and Charge jumped into the Turbo Car. Chase put the petal to the metal, and drove off. Charge look at the scanner on the Turbo Car.
“According to dis,’ said Charge,’ Gold Tooth and his henchman are at an ancient temple. Dere leaving now, but if we turn right up dere we can take ah short cut and head ’em off.”
Chase turned the car and drove through the mud. “Hope this works, Charge. My car is getting dirty.”
“Git over it.”
Fuse flew over the truck. “Fuse to Chase. Presently over the Inferno truck, waiting orders.”
“This is Chase. Charge and I are going to attempt to head off the truck. Hang on, we may not need you.”
“Roger that,” said Fuse.
Jack looked up at the Agents’ jet.
“It’s not lookin’ good,” he told Gold Tooth. He climbed out the window, and into the back, where there was a seat. He aimed his sub-machine guns at the jet, and opened fire.
“Whoa!” shouted Fuse as he tried to avoid the laser fire.
“Chase, if you’re gonna do something, do it now.” “We’re almost there!” shouted Chase. “Bad news,” said Charge.
“What now?” asked Chase.
“I made a miss calculation. We ain’t gonna make it, keep goin’ though.”
“What for?”
“Yo see.” The car flew towards the dirt road up ahead. The road was a 4 way crossing. The truck drove in front of the car. Whoosh! The car barely missed the trailer. Charge unbuckled, jumped onto the trailer, and placed a detonator on it. But before he could dentate it, Jack aimed his gun and shot Charge in hand. Charge fell off the truck and in the mud. The turbo car raced up.
“What happened?” asked Chase. Charge walked back to the car, hold his hand. “Tell ya on the way,” he moaned.

Meanwhile at the MMC….

“Anyway, that’s what happened,” said Trace. She was talking to native woman using a language translator gadget. Trace turned around and saw a shadow looming behind the MCC.
“Excuse me,” said Trace. She walked behind the MCC. A karate chop hit her in the neck, and knocked her out.
“Ha, ha, ha!” laughed an evil figure behind her. It picked her up and carried her away from the MCC.

Back at the jungle….

“Fuse, you have to hit that detonator with a missile or laser, and make it explode!” said Chase into his radio.
“Or that gold could be used to give Inferno money to buy weapons for world domination!”
“I know,’ said Fuse as he dodged Jack’s lasers,’ I’m counting on me too.”

Break Jaw walked into a room. Spy Clops turned and handed him a picture. It was a picture of an elevated shack with steps going down to a bridge that crossed over a deep marsh.
“That’s the swamp base you wanted, Break Jaw,” said Spy Clops.
“Is it in the proper location?” asked Break Jaw.
“Yes, why do you need a base in Louisiana?”
Break Jaw pulled a paper out of his pocket.
“The map to Brickbeard’s treasure!” exclaimed Spy Clops. “It was hid over 400 years ago! Where did you get that map?”
“I stole it from a museum,” said Break Jaw. “The treasure isn’t your normal jewels and doubloons.”
“What is it?”
“Power gems.”
“What!?!”
“I need the power gems. I am working on a new type of genetic engineering, and power gems will help me build my equipment.
With that, Break Jaw turned and walked away.

“Go fish,” said Trace.
“Okay,” said Fuse.
Chase walked to the table where the rest of the Agents were playing a card game.
“Hey guys, Clancy just called me. A map was stolen from another museum,” said Chase.
“Good gravy!” said Charge. “Another museum?”
“Again?” said Trace.
“Ya, I’m afraid so,’ said Chase,’ It was another museum.
“Can I go?” asked Charge.
“I don’t know…”
“Pleeeease?”
Charge got on his knees, begging.
“Okay, okay, sheesh.”
“Take your motorbike. You should ask around, and see if anyone has any clues.”
“Yippee! Thank yew, thank yew, Chase!”
“The things I do for my team! Sheesh!” Chase walked away.
“He get’s tense easy,” said Fuse.
"He's still cute," said Trace.
"Huh?" replied Fuse.

Time: 0953 hours
Location: Museum. The one where the map was stolen. Duh.

Charge’s bike drove into the parking lot.
“Remember,’ said Trace, over the computer on the motorbike,’ It would be a good idea to put on a disguise.”
“Okay, got it,” said Charge.
“Have a good time at the museum,” said the ticket woman to a family.
She looked up, and wished she hadn’t.
“Zon, pleaze,” said the man in front of her. He was dressed in a button-up shirt, a kilt, a sombrero, and had a French mustache. The woman stared for a minute, then finally handed him a ticket.
“Have… a… nice…day…..,” said the woman.
Charge walked through the museum.
“Look, Mommy, a clown!” shouted a kid.
“Today’s styles are so strange,” said an old woman.
Charge stepped into an empty room and pulled his Agents communication pad, or ACP. (It looks like an I-pod, but it works like cell, and has a camera so you can see who you’re talking to.)
“Hello?" said Charge," Chase?”
“This is Cha… What are you wearing?!?”
“A kilt, a sombrero, a…”
“I know what you’re wearing, but why, pray tell, ?!?”
“Yo girlfriend told…”
“Girlfriend!?!”
“You know, Trace.”
“Tra…She is not my G.F., mister wise guy.”
“Me?!? A wise guy? Thanks! Mah mama said that I’d always be stupid, but now my own commander just dat I’m wise!”
“I said that, when did your mom say that you were stupid?”
“After I broke her grandfather clock. And my grandma’s arm.”
“How did you… Never mind. Just take off that stupid disguise and search that museum, Pedro.

Later…
“You found what?” Charge was talking into his ACP again.
“Trace sent off a fly cam, to look over the area, where you are,” said Fuse. “It located a alligator, with a Inferno logo on it‘s snout.”
“An gator?”
“Yep.”
“Okay I’m going to where da critter was seen.”
Even later…
Charge drove his bike up to where the gator had been seen. Alligator tracks were across the mud, and lead into the swamp.
“Looks like I’m gonna get dirty.”
He pressed a button on his bike. His boosters activated. And he drove into the swamp with incredible speed. Charge swerved left and right, trying to avoid trees, deep mud, and roots. Mud splattered on his clothes.
“Ick,” said Charge. He turned his to wipe mud off of his jumpsuit. And hit the root that just happened to be there.
“Ugggggg!” shouted Charge as he flew through the air!
SPLAT! Charge looked up.
“Great, just great,” groaned Charge. “I crashed mah bike, I’ve got mud in mah underroos, and…Yikes!”
Then an alligator rose out of the swamp! Charge reached into his holster, and fired. Blam! The laser bounced off of the animal. That’s when Charge noticed it.
“It’s got ah implant with an Inferno symbol on it’s snout.” He held out his hand and zapped the gator’s implant with his electric gloves. The implant popped and blew up.
“Opps,” said Charge. The alligator was fine except for the fact that it had a burn mark on it’s nose! And it wasn’t happy. Charge ran back to the bike. The alligator moved towards him. Charge picked up the bike turned the key. VROOOOOOM! The bike started with a roar. Charge drove off leaving the gator in the mud.
“Inferno must not be far away,” thought Charge.
Then he saw it. A dirt road up in front of him! Charge drove onto the road. Ahead was a bridge, that lead to an elevated shack. A large Inferno logo was on top of the roof.
“Bingo!” said Charge.
Break Jaw was standing in the shack studying a map of the swamp. BING! The sonar blipped. Break Jaw ran to the computer.
“An Agent!?!’ shouted Break Jaw,’ in my domain?”
Charge drove towards the bridge. A rocket pod lay up ahead on the bridge. WHOOSH! The rockets flew towards Charge. Charge pressed a button. Lasers from the bike intercepted the missiles. Charge drove up the ramp and into the bridge.
Break Jaw drew his ninja sword and ran to the top of the stairs. Charge jump off his motorbike and stood at the bottom of the stairs.
“Break Jaw!” shouted Charge.
“Charge, you were a fool to not accept Inferno’s offer,” said Break Jaw. “It has great benefits, like free bases to those like who want them.”
“Yo mean junkyards like this,” said Charge. He drew his pistol, and fired. Break Jaw deflected it with his sword. The laser flew back and blew the pistol of Charge’s hand. “Ug!”
Break Jaw drew HIS pistol and fired. “Ha, Ha, Ha,’ he laughed,’ You have no way to defend your self.”
“Oh yeah?” said Charge. He pointed his fingers at Break Jaw, and zapped the pistol out of his hand.
“You will pay!” shouted Break Jaw. He ran down the stairs toward Charge. Charge fired a bolt at him. Break Jaw tried to deflect it with his sword. The bolt hit the metal sword. ZAAPPP! Break Jaw dropped the sword and grabbed his wrist. “Owwww!”
“Yo forgit dat metal is a conductah of electricity? He pushed past Break Jaw and ran into the shack. The map was laying on a table. Charge grabbed it and stuffed it in a pouch on his jumpsuit. Break Jaw ran down the stairs and jumped over the bridge, into a boat below. But not before placing a detonator on the bridge. Charge down the stairs, hopped on his bike, and revved it up.
BOOOOOOMMMMMMM! The shack blew to pieces! The bike flew out of the explosion with Charge hanging on for dear life!

“Yeah, did Hambone contact you?” questioned Fuse.
“No,” said Trace. “He hasn’t contact me at all in the last hour.”
“Dere was ah reason for dat.”
Chase, Trace, and Fuse turned around. “Charge!”
Charge stood in front of them. His suit was burned and ripped. His flattop was flat for real, and he was holding a map.
“Nice,” said Chase.
“What did you do,’ cracked Fuse,’ jump in a volcano?”
“I got caught in a explosion…and dat all yo need to know.” groaned Charge.
“Why didn’t you contact me?” asked Trace.
“Mah radio was damaged in da explosion,” said Charge,” Along with da bike.”
“You could’ve used a payphone,” snickered Fuse.
“I didn’t have any cents,” replied Charge.
“So, we’ve noticed,” said Fuse.
“Never mind him, Charge,” said Chase. “You did good.”
“I rule!” shouted Charge. He jump into the air and landed on his rear. “Ouch!”

Lego Agents episode 3: We Have Power! (or not.)

Lego Agents: We have power! (or not.)

I was standing in my room, admiring the posters on my wall. I was thinking about yesterday. My commander, Dr. Inferno had been captured by a team known as the Lego Agents. I had been a member of a U.S. government agency, until Inferno, who was in my unit, came claiming that our leader, Chase, had betrayed us. I was shocked. Inferno had a plan to kill Chase and his girlfriend, Claudette. I join with Inferno’s team, and tried to kill them. We got Claudette, but not Chase. Chase shot Inferno, the others, and me. Then, Inferno pulled the ring on a grenade and blew us all up. When I awoke, I had had my arm and part of my face replaced with robotic parts. My arm had been modified with a saw. Inferno came in and told me that the U.S. government was going to destroy the world, and it looked like we must take over the world before America, because America was too dangerous to fight head on. Before my thoughts could continue, my radio crackled.
“Saw-Fist, we have a mission for you.”

It was an exciting day at Agents HQ.
“Got any three’s?” asked Trace.
“Go fish,” said Chase.
Okay, maybe not that exciting.
“Go, go! Goooooo!!!!” screamed Charge.
I stand corrected. Again.
Chase and Trace were playing “Go fish,” Charge and Fuse were watching a wrestling match.
“What’s so exciting about watching two big, hairy guys beat each other to death?” said Fuse.
“What’s not exciting ‘bout it?” replied Charge.
“Don’t get me started. Man, I am bored.”
Beep! Beep! Chase’s cell rang.
“Talk to me, dude,” said Chase. “Yes sir, I understand… Well we tried… Where? Castle, you say? Hmmmm…. All, right. Good day, Clancy.”
“What was that about?” asked Trace.
“That was Clancy,’ began Chase,” Intel reports say that Inferno’s goin’ for a attack on a old castle that’s been revamped into a museum. Inside the museum is a power gem that scientist are studying.
“The power gem!” exclaimed Trace. “I’ve been reading about it on the Internet. It could power Texas for a year!”
“Bingo,” said Chase “Inferno could make a weapon, powerful enough to blast half the world away.”
Chase and Trace walked to the cell in the MCC (Mobile Command Center). Dr. Inferno was sitting in a chair reading a book.
“What do you know about this?” demanded Trace.
“About what?” said Inferno.
“You know,” said Chase. “The power gem.”
“I know nothing.”
“Yeah, we know that,” said Trace.
“Listen,’ said Inferno,’ the Inferno team will go on, even with out me. One day, Inferno will bust me out of this trap. Just you wait, Agent Chase. Your puny team won’t survive Inferno’s blast.”

Saw Fist turned to leave.
“Oh, one more thing,” said Spy Clops.

Chase walked through the museum.
“See, anything?” said Trace over his radio.
“For the 34th time, no! By the way, will this backpack help me? It‘s heavy,” groaned Chase.
“Yeah, remember what’s got in it,’ said Trace,’ it will help.”
“Roger, over and out.”
Chase sighed.
“I probably shouldn’t have come here alone, but Charge and Fuse would get in the way, and Trace had to get some work done at HQ, so maybe it wasn’t a bad idea. Hey, it‘s snowing outside,” thought Chase.
Meanwhile…
Saw-Fist pulled up to the museum on a snowmobile. The snowmobile had two guns mounted on the front, and a large cannon hooked to the side. People looked and stared. It’s not everyday a guy with a saw attached to his arm, and a snowmobile with guns shows up.
Saw Fist walked to the information booth inside the museum. The woman at the booth stared at him.
“Ur, Can I help you?” asked the woman, nervously.
“Yes where is the power gem?” asked Saw Fist.
“I’m sorry, but it’s been taken off display at this time.”
“Where is it now?”
“In the lab, where it‘s safe. An Interallience agent came and told us that a terrorist organization maybe plotting to steal it.”
“Oh.” Saw Fist walked away, and found the door marked “Laboratory.”
Saw Fist pushed the door open and stepped inside. A scientist was looking through a microscope. Saw Fist grabbed him and lifted him up in the air.
“What do want?!?” asked the scientist.
“The power gem, where is it?” asked Saw Fist.
The scientist pointed to a safe. Saw Fist dropped him and stomped on his head. Saw Fist activated his saw and cut open the safe. He reach inside and pulled out the gem.
Ounga! Ounga! The alarm went off! Saw Fist ran towards the front doors. Chase ran to the lab. Then he saw Saw Fist running away. Chase ran after him.
“Stop thief!” shouted Chase.
“Make me!” shouted Saw Fist.
He ran outside, jumped on his snowmobile, and took off.
“Catch me now!” said Saw Fist as he drove down a mountain.
Chase ran towards a cliff. And jumped off.
“This better work, Trace,” said Chase.
He pushed the Agent’s logo on his jumpsuit. Two fins came out the sides off his backpack, and a rotor came out the top. The Agent’s helipack.
Saw Fist looked behind him.
“Oh, brother,” groaned Saw Fist. “Get through this, bum.” He steered into a forest.
“I’ve got you, buddy,” said Chase. He pushed a button on his watch.
“Auto-pilot mode activated,” said the watch. The helipack weaved through the trees without any problem.
Saw Fist groaned. “There must be some weakness.”
Chase pushed another button on his watch.
“Hook activated,” said the watch.
The power gem was inside a glass case that was sitting on the back of the snowmobile. A hook came out of the helipack. Chase swooped down, and the hook grabbed hold of the case, which broke off the snowmobile.
“Hey!” shouted Saw Fist, as Chase flew away. Saw Fist fired at Chase with the snowmobile’s guns. Chase turned his helipack and pull out the two sub-machine guns, that were hidden under the fins.
Blam! Chase fired at the snowmobile.
Kaboom! The snowmobile exploded as Chase’s shots hit it. Chase flew away.
Saw Fist crawled away from the wreckage. He wasn’t hurt seriously, but bruised and burned.
“Oh, boy. Spy Clops isn’t going to like this,” groaned Saw Fist.

“Why didn’t you capture him?!?” exclaimed Trace.
“I couldn’t,’ said Chase,’ Inferno is sneaky, and I’m sure his goons are too. Saw Fist would have tried to steal the gem. I wonder what they wanted though?”
“Yeah! Go, baby, go!” screamed Charge at the TV.
“What happened?” asked Chase.
“Hairy just beat the tar out of Fat,” cracked Fuse.
“Hey!’ shouted Charge. He grabbed Fuse, threw him on the floor, and pinned him.
“Don’t you know that’s illegal?” groaned Fuse.
“Yo wouldn’t know,” said Charge.
“Cut it out,” said Chase.
“Take that!" shouted Charge as he pinned Fuse again.
“Auggggg!” shouted Chase.


Go Agents!

Location: Inferno HQ

“Whadda mean it will cost 50 billion smackers?” said Spy-Clops.
“I mean it will cost you 50 billion for me to tell the location of the Lego Agents’ headquarters,” said Break Jaw.
“That’s a rip-off!”
“Take it or leave it.”
Spy Clops growled at Break Jaw.
“Instead of paying me the money,’ said Break Jaw as he pulled a list out of his pocket, do these things for me and I’ll tell the location.”
Spy Clops looked at the list. “One power gem, one swamp base, and 2,000 gold bars. Are you mental!?!”
“Take it or…”
“Ughhhh! I’ll take it!”
Spy Clops stormed off.
“The things I do for you, Dr. Inferno,’ muttered Spy Clops to himself,’ and I don’t even know why I‘m doing them.”

Lego Agents episode 2: Origins pt.2

Lego Agents: Origins pt.2
Groan, groan…
Chomp opened his eyes. He was laying in a smoldering pile of wreckage. Wreckage that used to be the mini-jet. He looked around. All he saw were trees, trees, and more trees.
“Where are Fuse and Charge?” wondered Chomp.
“Hey, you!”
Chomp turned around, and was staring at a man, who had four mechanical eyes, and six robotic legs, and was holding a pistol.
“Eeehaaa!” shouted Chomp, as he kicked at the monster.
The monster fired a laser from his pistol. And Chomp blacked out again.
Lego Agents, an elite team of agents, always ready to fight evil. Go Agents!
Chase drove towards the gates at 90 mph. He reached over and pressed a button on his car.
“Turbo,” bleeped the car’s computer.
Whoosh! Chase barreled towards the gate. Two men, in orange jumpsuit with Inferno logos, where standing at the gate.
“Watch out!” shouted one of the guards.
The other guard pressed the alarm button. But the alarm didn’t go off!
Chase activated the car’s guns, and shot the guards.
Crash!
Chase blew down the gates, and the alarm still didn’t go off!
“Charge, Fuse, and Chomp must’ve taken out the power,” thought Chase.
But they hadn’t….
Meanwhile….
Chomp was carried to a clearing in the forest. He woke up and looked around. Several Inferno agents and soldiers stood around the clearing. Two jets and five pick-ups were sitting in the clearing.
“Fuse!” shouted Chomp.
Fuse was being held by two soldiers.
“Chomp!’ shouted Fuse,’ Good to see you alive! I just hope we can get outta here!”
Four soldiers escorted the two Agents to the six-legged monster.
“My name is Spy Clops,’ said the monster, I have you two in my clutches, but I am negotiable.”
“Negotiable how?” asked Fuse.
Crash!
Charge’s motorbike crashed through the trees.
“Sorry, I’s late! Bambi’s insurance agent wanted to speak with me!” shouted Charge.
A Inferno agent, with one of his arms replaced with a saw, pulled out a pistol and fired at Charge’s front wheel. And it hit.
“Yow!”
Charge’s cycle flipped over, and he hit the ground. Two Inferno soldiers grabbed him. Fuse noticed that Charge wasn’t making an attempt to stop them. And that wasn’t like Charge.
“I got him, I got him!” shouted the Inferno agent, who was jumping up and down.
“Very good, Saw Fist,” commended Spy Clops.
“Gold Tooth! Bring the briefcase!” shouted Spy Clops at a agent, who had a patch, gold-colored hair, and teeth made of gold.
“Here, captain,” said Gold Tooth, as he handed Spy Clops a briefcase.
Spy Clops opened the brief case. Inside was gobs of money.
“This and more will be yours,’ said Spy Clops,’ If you join Inferno.”
“Sure,” said Chomp. He walked up and took the briefcase.
“He’s playing’ thought Charge,’ Any second now he’ll pull some karate move.”
Spy Clops handed Chomp a pistol.
“Okay, Chomp, shoot your friends,” said Chomp.
Chomp pointed the gun at Charge. And pulled the trigger.
“Ouch!” shouted Charge as the laser hit his arm.
“Okay, dat’s it!” shouted Charge. He glared at Chomp.
“Yo wasn’t playin’ when yo joined these clowns!”
“No, I wasn’t,” said Chomp, calmly and sincerely.
“Okay then, if dat the way yo want it….”
Charge pointed all five fingers at Chomp. Zapppp! Electric bolts fired from his gloves hitting Chomp, Gold Tooth, Spy Clops, and Saw Fist, which knocked them out. Zappp! More bolts flew from his gloves hitting soldiers, vehicles, and a deer.
“Bambi’s insurance agency really has ah bone to pick with me,” said Charge.
“More like a beef,” said Fuse. “Hey there’s a pick-up you didn’t demolish.”
“It not over,” said a voice.
Fuse and Charge turned around, only to see Chomp holding a bazooka. Fuse grabbed a grenade off his belt, and threw it. Boom! It exploded beside Chomp, knocking him down. Charge ran towards him, and grabbed him by the shirt.
“Yo is in trouble in now,” said Charge.
“Yeah?” smirked Chomp. “Whadda gonna do about it?”
“Call yo, Break Jaw.”
And with that Charge hit him on the face, breaking Break Jaw’s jaw.
“That was harsh,” said Fuse as they climbed into the pick-up and drove away.
Meanwhile….
Chase press some buttons on the security computer that opened that opened the blast doors. Beep!
“Rejected again!?!” said Chase.
“Hands up,” said a voice behind him.
Chase turned around. A female Inferno soldier was pointing a rifle at him. Then she handed him the rifle, walked to the blast door, and opened it. Then she took off her mask.
“Guh, buh, uh, Trace!?!” stammered Chase.
“Yep,” said Trace.
“Thanks,” said Chase.
“I wasn’t sure I’d be able to deactivate the power in time.”
“What?”
“Fuse and Chomp were shot down and I couldn’t get a hold of them, so I put on this disguise, walked through the gates, shut off the power, and here I am.”
“What about Fuse and Chomp?”
“I don’t know, Chase, I don’t know.”
“Charge?”
“Ditto.”
“Great, just great.”
“Then, let’s go find the Inferno headhonco.”
Chase and Trace ran inside the building and down a long hall.
Two soldiers stepped out of a room. And wished they hadn’t.
“Nice shots,” said Trace.
“I’ve seen better,” said Chase as he put his pistol back in his holster.
They continued down the hall. They to the end of the hall. A door read, Dr. Inferno, CEO of Inferno and Evil genis.
“Some one needs to tell him how to spell ‘Genius,’” said Chase.
“Do tell,” replied Trace.
Chase kicked the door open. The room behind it was a lobby. A secretary sat at the desk. Chase grabbed her.
“Okay, lady,’ said Chase,’ where’s Inferno?”
The woman pointed to a door.
“Trace, tie her to the chair, and get all the papers you can get out of her desk,” ordered Chase.
“And you?” asked Trace.
“Dr. Inferno and I will have a little chat.”
Chase kicked open the door.
“Okay, doc!’ shouted Chase,’ Party’s over!”
The doctor turned around. And Chase couldn’t believe it.
The doctor had his hair sticking straight into the air, with orange stripes in it. His right arm was robotic, and he was missing an eye. But that wasn’t what Chase was looking at.
“Inferno,” said Chase. “The man who betrayed me.”
“Chase,” said Dr. Inferno.
Chase pulled his pistols.
“Your going to jail, old buddy,” said Chase.
“No, I’m not, old buddy,” said Inferno’
He dropped his jacket to reveal an blaster.
“Fight’s on!” shouted Chase.
He fired at Inferno. Inferno jumped out of the way, and fired. The laser hit Chase.
“Ugh!” shouted Chase as he hit the wall.
Inferno aimed his blasted at Chase.
“It’s the end of the road, Chase,” said Inferno.
Crash! The wall collapsed as an Inferno pick-up drove in.
Inferno turned his attention to the truck.
“Yaaaaaa!” shouted Chase, as he jumped towards Inferno and knocked the blaster out of his hand.
Charge and Fuse jumped out of the truck. Inferno started to run. Charge tackled him.
“Auggg!” screamed Dr. Inferno as 250 lb. of weightlifter landed on top of him.
“Guys!” shouted Chase. “Waited where’s Chomp?”
“He betrayed us,” said Fuse.
“Wow.”
Trace ran into the room.
“Is it over yet?”
“Yeah,” said Chase. “It’s over.”
“Dere’s still at least a million soldiers in this place,” said Charge, still holding Inferno under his arm.
“Put Inferno in truck, and drive, Fuse, drive!” said Chase.
Fuse got into the driver’s seat, Charge climbed into the passenger seat, Dr. Inferno was stuffed in the middle, and Chase and Trace jumped in the bed.
Fuse stepped on the gas and drove off at top speed.
“Help!” screamed Dr. Inferno. “I’m being abducted!”
Charge pulled off his shoe, took off his holey sock, and stuffed it in Dr. Inferno’s trap!
“Put a sock in it!”
“Hang on!” shouted Chase.
They blew through the gates.
“Inferno’s men are following us!” shouted Trace, as she noticed the pick-ups chasing them.
Fuse handed Chase a bomb.
“Press the button, and throw it,” instructed Fuse.
Chase pushed the button and threw it. Boom!
“It worked,” said Chase, as he surveyed the fiery wreckage.
Date: The next day
Time: 0734 hours
Location: Agents HQ
Chase was telling Clancy the story.
“So we were able to bring back the MMC and motorbike, but the jets were destroyed,” said Chase. “Plus Chomp left us, we didn’t destroy the base, and well, sheesh, I guess you’ll want someone else to lead the Lego Agents.
Chase started to walk away.
“Wait,’ said Clancy,’ Your mission was to capture their leader, and that’s what you did.
“You mean…”
“I mean, Welcome to the Lego Agents!”
The End…for now.

I'll have an epilogue coming soon, so stay posted to S6T.

Lego Agents Episode 1: Origins

Lego Agents: Origins

Date: Classified
Time: Classified
Location: Classified

My girlfriend and I were looking at a new piece of machinery she had built. We would be married the next day. I didn’t know what would happen next, but I never would have imagined what DID happen. We were both special agents for the government. I was the top-agent, she built special weapons. I was walking away from her, when I heard the bang and scream. I’ve heard plenty of screams after bangs. More than I want to, actually. I turned around and Claudette was lying on the ground, with blood spattered everywhere. My best “friend” , Codenamed Inferno, was standing there holding a smoking gun. Before I could speak, several more agents ,that where in the unit I was with, surrounded me.
“What is going on?” I asked.
“We are sick of you,’ replied Inferno.
“Why are y…’
“Shut up!” shouted Inferno. “Put out him of my, er, your misery, guys!
I grabbed the pistol, hidden in my vest, and fired away.
A bloody Inferno lifted himself up, and glared at me, with the one eye I hadn’t shot out.
“It not over,’ He mumbled, ‘You’ll still die.”
He pulled out a grenade, pulled the ring, and threw it at me, with his good hand.
I ran without looking back. I made it out of the building, without a scratch. My codename is Chase.

Lego Agents, an elite team of agents, always ready to fight evil. Go Agents!

Time: 1523 hours
Location: Interalliance HQ

“Please Agent Chase, we need you,” said John Clancy, a rep for the Interalliance worldwide justice agency.
Chase sighed. Clancy had been nagging him, wanting him to lead a team to battle a new criminal organization.
“O.K., first tell me what you know,” said Chase.
This team is dangerous. They captured a small city in Arizona, and took every valuable the people owned. Then they left.”
“Did they leave any thing behind?”
“A letter.”
“That said?”
“Why?”
“You want me to battle these goons, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then fill me in, already!”
“Very well, the letter said, ‘We have just begun, signed the Inferno Organization.’ We might know where their base is.”
“You got members for the good team I’m supposed to lead?”
“Yes, are you going to join or am I going to have to find someone else?”
“I’ll check it out.”
“That’s good, meet at these coordinates tomorrow at 0900. See you tomorrow.”

Date: Next day
Time: 0901 hours
Location: Classified

“Thank you for agreeing to this, Agent Chase.” said Clancy.
“I didn’t agree to anything,” replied Chase.
“What? But you said…”
“I know what you think I said, but if this is something I don’t like, I’m not joining.”
“But…”
“No, but’s to it, Clancy.”
Clancy was silent.
They were riding on a elevator down to Agent’s headquarters. To get to the elevator, they had driven to an old parking lot that had a small dilapidated building in the corner. They had entered the building, stepped into a room, and opened a closet door, which was really the elevator.
The doors opened and the two men stepped out.
“Nice HQ,” said Chase.
“Thank you,” said Clancy. “Shall we meet the team the government has selected.
“Sure.”
Clancy walked to a large, dark blue truck. Two men were talking.
“Chase,’ began Clancy,’ This is Agent Charge and Agent Fuse. Fuse is an expert in demolition and sabotage. Charge is a mechanic, and heavy weapons specialist.
“And don’t yo forgit it,” boomed Charge in a big, booming voice.
Ignoring the interruption, Clancy continued. “They are both expert pilots and vehicle drivers.
“And don’t’ dat either!” shouted Charge.
“With your big mouth, how could he?” cracked Fuse.
“Yo tried to tell me sumthin’?” asked Charge.
“Maybe.”
Clancy and Chase walked over to a man that was eating a sandwich, with his back to them.
“This is Agent Chomp,” said Clancy. “He’s a martial artist.”
Chomp turned around in his chair.
“YIKES!” shouted Chase.
Chomp had teeth like a shark!
“I was born this way,” said Chomp calmly.
“Weren’t we all?” replied Chase.
“Hey, man, I’m just in for the moola,” said Chomp,” That’s all that matters to me.”
“What else have you got for me, Clancy?” said Chase.
“One more agent. I’ll show you.”
“That’s what I’m afraid of.”
They walked into a room.
“Where the other guy?” asked Chase.
“Over there.”
Chase turned around and was staring at a pretty, young woman.
“How did on the planet she get here!
“Well, Agent Trace worked for a top security system manufacturer,’ began Clancy. ‘She was their top software designer, and built anti-hacker systems that even the most-wanted hacker could not crack. Her plans for a software project were stolen by a rival company. She used her own disguises to get into the company and get her software back, and bring proof that the other company stole her software. Upon hearing her story, I knew that she would be perfect for building security system and undercover systems.”
“A woman, huh?” scoffed Chase.
“Uh, yes.”
“She won’t be here long.”
Chase walked away, still smirking.
“Do not listen to him, Trace,’ said Clancy,’ he’ll come around.”
“Don’t bet on it!” hollered Chase.
“I think he’s kinda cute,” said Trace.
Later…
“Well?” said Clancy.
“Well, what?” said Chase, sarcastically.
Clancy pulled a pistol out of his briefcase, and began loading it.
“Are you in or not?”
“Clear the way, I’m jumpin’ in the pool.”
“Good,” replied Clancy.
Clancy handed Chase the pistol.
Chase clipped it into his holster.
“By the way.” Chase looked at Clancy. “If I had said ’no’ you would have shot me.”
“How did you know?”
“I know how the government works.”
Chase turned around, and walked away without looking back.

Date: The next day
Time: 0800 hours
Location: Agents HQ

“Okay, team this is it,” said Chase.
Clancy and the Agents were standing in the Mobile Command Center.
“Today, we strike. I don’t have a clue what I’m getting into, and nether do you. Okay, Clancy, let us have it.”
Clancy pressed a button on the projector. The lights dimmed and a picture of an armored, heavily-defended building was shown.
Crunch, crunch!
“Hey, no popcorn!” shouted Clancy at Charge.
“Why, yo dimmed the light and turned on a projector. That mean it a movie, right? And when you have a movie, yo gotta have popcorn.”
“This is no movie!”
“Party pooper.”
“Here,’ said Chomp,’ I’ll take care of that.” Chomp took the popcorn, and devoured it, kernels, bag, and all, in one crunch.
“Yuck,” and Trace.
“Now, you may continue,” said Chomp, calmly.
‘Um, where was I?’ asked Clancy. ‘Oh yes, as I was saying, This is Inferno’s base.”
Clancy pointed to the picture on the screen.
“Your mission is to find and capture their leader.”
“Agent Chase, tell the Agents your strategy.
“My strategy,’ began Chase, ‘Is to get in that base and kick Inferno good. Charge! Fuse! Chomp! You three are to cut through the fence, and dismantle all the power in the base. Take the motorcycle, supersonic jet, and mini-jet. Oh, don’t cut off the lights. It’s easier to do a job when you have light. The power MUST be cut by 1345 hours. Trace will sit in the truck and pick us up once we’re done. Does everyone hear me!
“Yes!” shouted Fuse, Trace, and Chomp.
“Uh, what yo say? I could hear cause everyone was screamin’, said Charge.
Chase groaned.

Date: Day of mission
Time: 1204 hours
Location: One mile outside of Inferno’s base.

The MMC (Mobile Command Center), Turbo Car, and Motorbike were sitting on the side of a highway. The Supersonic Jet (piloted by Fuse) and the Mini-jet (flown by Chomp) circled above. Chase fastened his seat belt.
“Okay, agents let’s roll!” shout Chase.
“Hey, fat boy,’ said Fuse to Charge,’ How well can ya keep up with jets.”
“Just watch me little man,” retorted Charge. “Yeeha!”
Charge began plowing down trees, bushes, deer, and anything else in his way.
“Sorry, Bambi!” shouted Charge.
Ping, ping! Chomp’s sonar showed something on radar!
“What on earth?” said Chomp.
Then there was a “boom,” and it was the last thing he saw.

To be continued next week...

Hey, be thankful for two reasons, one: this episode wasn't supposed to be up 'til Saturday, and two: It's thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving, Yo Joe, and Duke94 out.
