Okay, here is the second chapter of the Teen Criminals. This chapter might be going to be longer with parts (for example part 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) because I started to make a long chapter to write with plots and something.

So this chapter will be about Ferb and Gretchen on a survival adventure in "The Dark Zone" in New York. There is a reason why there. So basically, The Dark Zone is a place in New York where the new game "Tom Clancy's: The Division" takes place. It's in the center of the Manhattan area and is roamed by rogue agents and other factions. I'm using this setting of the story because it takes survival and skills and since I watch TheRadBrad, I am Wildcat and Moo Snuckel play this game and saw other trailers of the game, it was exciting, so I decided that their survival in this origins story will be in the Dark Zone. This could be a little multi-crossover though. And to keep in mention, I do not own all of them, they belong to their respective owners but the story is made by me.

Enjoy.

Chapter 2: Survival of the Dark Zone.

Part 1: Operation and Survival.

In the City of New York, the dark of the clouds risen up causing a dark view of the once beautiful part of New York. Buildings have burned down magnificent structures in the Time Square area. It lays the Dark Zone, a contaminated area that was overruned by the enemy factions.

The Division has tried their best to keep being away from the Dark Zone. Then one day, a helicopter of the police arrived to the Dark Zone to rescue the surviving Division from the rogue agents. They have their loot from their journey and have never turned rogued but the other agents have become rogue and chased after them.

Meanwhile at the Police helicopter, Ferb Fletcher and Gretchen, part of the Teen Criminals, had taken the ride and help the police to rescue the remaining agents.

"This is Officer Merlov, the pilot of the chopper I am in, do not shoot, we are here to rescue you out of the Dark Zone." said the officer who he is giving a response to the remaining agents.

"Just listen to him agents, we will cover your six!" said Gretchen.

The chopper finally landed and the two teens guard the chopper once the agents get here. The agents got here in time but the rogue ones are close by. Ferb snipe the rogued agents causing them to take cover. Gretchen on the other hand help the agents get in, some of the agents got shot while running but some of the agents got medical tech to heal his friends.

"Are you ok guys?" said Gretchen to the agents.

"We are ok, but we have lost the other agents." said Brad. (Reference the name TheRadBrad)

"Yeah, I lost one of mine on the way here." said Tyson. (Reference name of IAmWildcat's real name, Tyler)

"Where is he?" said Gretchen.

"He is almost dying but he can survive for a long time, but it was amazing that no one saw him when he got in cover in time." said Tyson.

"Ok, I will get him." said Gretchen as she is going to save one of the agents.

"Ferb, defend here. I will go get the last agent left behind." said Gretchen to Ferb.

"Ok. I will be fine here." said Ferb.

As Ferb kept his word, Gretchen goes through the other side to find a shortcut and luckily, she found a shortcut all the way to the other side and found the last Division agent.

"Are you ok?" said Gretchen to the Division agent.

I'm fine, I got myself healed up and ready to go." said Mook. (Reference name of Moo Snuckel)

"Ok get up and lets go." said Gretchen.

Gretchen and Mook made their way back to the drop point and Mook rejoined the team.

"Oh good Mook, you are still alive!" said Tyson.

"Always the better." said Mook.

"Alright, is that all of them?" said Officer Merlov.

"That's all of them, lets go." said Ferb.

"Ok we are moving out, fellas!" said Officer Merlov.

When Ferb and Gretchen got a chance to get in, one of the rogue agents shot an RPG at the drop point leaving no choice for the pilot to leave the two behind.

"There is too much heat, I am going out!" said Officer Merlov.

Ferb and Gretchen were disappointed that the chopper left but were worried of the rogue agents to get to them.

Ferb told Gretchen to run to the tunnels as possible while he fends off the remaining rogue agents. Gretchen ran as fast as she could to reach to the train tunnels for safety. She had doubts to leave Ferb behind, after all, he is her boyfriend and all but boyfriends and girlfriends must stick with each other until the end of time.

Gretchen started to hear footsteps coming to her way; she readied her pistol and pointed the gun only to find out its Ferb safely.

"Oh thanks goodness you are alive!" said Gretchen finally back with Ferb.

"Yeah good thing, otherwise you would start to cry and get everyone's attention." said Ferb trying to say a joke.

"Very funny." said Gretchen as she was amused with his joke.

As they stopped messing around, they start trying to find shelter till help arrives. They were low on food and started to salvage the food court in the train station to find food. Lucky for them, most of the foods are not contaminated and they took most of the food supply out of the food court.

"I can't believe they left just good food around here." said Gretchen.

"Yeah, they all thought the food is contaminated by the virus, but thanks to our virus-tracker, we were sure there is no poison." said Ferb to Gretchen.

As Ferb and Gretchen finished their food, they journeyed out of the tunnels and find a place to stay from the dangers of the rogue agents and enemy factions.

"We will have to find a place to live." said Ferb.

"Yeah, we need to find a place to stay." said Gretchen.

Ferb wave his head up and down to Gretchen that he approves this idea.

They finally found a hideout of one of the Division agents set up. They put their stuff in the floor and started to search the area if there is danger in there.

"It is clear Ferb." said Gretchen.

Gretchen started to clean her glasses on the room she secured.

"Man! My glasses are so dirty, why can't I just not wear them?" said Gretchen complaining about her vision.

Suddenly, her glasses break and she scratched her face by her own finger.

"Ow? How did that happen?" said Gretchen questioning.

She started checking her glasses to see if they broke easily or she broke it but she started realizing that she can see clearly see without it. (Steven Universe reference)

"Hey Ferb…" said Gretchen the news.

"What is it?" said Ferb looking at her without the glasses.

"You can see clearly?" said Ferb.

"Yes Ferb, this is exciting again." said Gretchen in excitement.

"Well that's great news Gretch, but what happened to your old glasses?"

"Here." Said gretchen as she showed her broken glasses.

"What happened?" said Ferb.

As Ferb touched the glasses, a change of skin of Gretchen's hand started.

"Woah!" said Ferb in shock.

"Yikes!" said Gretchen the same time as Ferb.

"Oh no, not again!" said Gretchen in fear.

"Don't worry, its not that contagious." said Ferb to comfort her.

Ferb knew her unidentified powers when she uses it to break free from her captors, but he doesn't know how she got them in the first place.

As Ferb tried research on her, he discovered that it is known as a "Shadow Virus", it's not that deadly but the one who has it can be either be good or bad and Ferb doesn't like it if someone who is bad has it.

A Shadow Virus could be bender ability or another Black Light virus that happened in New York years ago. This virus could use the shadows of her own or from the outside darkness to form different kinds of weapons.

"Don't think viruses could spread and turn to death, they are powers." said Ferb as he knew that it's a power.

"Don't say that you know everything." said Gretchen sobbing.

"I'm not, you are what you are." said Ferb.

"Ok." said Gretchen.

Ok, so there is a little new respective owner of this reference and its Tom Clancy and Ubisoft and the creators of Prototype.

The next one will show their journey in the Dark Zone.
