Warning: I didn't create all these characters. Some belong either to MIB The Animated Series, Chanda, or Delia but the rest are mine (ex: Agent W). Plagiarism and suing will result in evil glares and name calling. Don't make me resort to that. Thanks ever so, now enjoy the story!
The Hound of the MIB
Part 1: Disaster Strikes!
The fog hadn't lifted all day, the streets were abandoned as the SUV sped along towards the MIB HQ. U and W had been off escorting an ambassador from Korouth to his new living quarters on Earth. He was now dwelling in a quaint residential area just outside of town with two other alien immigrants from his galaxy.
The trip had gone smoothly and they were enjoying the peaceful ride when suddenly, "Agent W! Turn that music down!!!"
"Ah U," W sighed, she'd been grooving to the blaring music in the passenger's seat and hated to be interrupted by his incessant, 'it's against the rules' banter.
"That garbage is distracting and it will probably root your brain." he insisted, turning the volume down about 20 levels.
"Oh it will not!" she retorted, "Now leave that radio alone! I didn't complain when you started reciting the handbook for the ambassador!"
"No," U countered, "you just rolled your eyes and grunted in between every word I said!"
"Aww," she teased, "are you mad because he laughed at you?"
"NO!" he snapped, "I'm mad because you have an arrogant disrespect for the rules, you're reckless and unorthodox not to mention stubborn and…"
"And you really need to get that chip off your shoulder," she replied crossing her arms and staring out her window. It was starting to get cloudy and a few drops of rain splattered on the windshield.
"Looks like a storm's headed our way," U sighed, turning on the wipers, "you gonna speak to me?"
"Nothin' to say."
"Aw c'mon W," he protested, "I hate it when you clam up like this!"
She turned to throw an insult at him but screamed when she saw a hunched over furry creature leap out in front of the vehicle.
"WHOA!" U tried to steer the SUV out of the way but it was too late, he slammed it into the creature, full force.
"I think it's dead," W whispered, looking back at the lifeless form lying in the road.
"What the heck was it?!"
"Maybe we should check."
"I'll go," he said hesitantly, "it could be dangerous."
"Oh like a gigantic alien with a ray gun isn't?" she replied sarcastically, "I deal with this stuff just as much as you do, PARTNER!"
"Fine!" he complied, anything to escape another argument.
They got out as the rain began to steadily pour harder, in the puddle before them they saw the creature.
"Do you think it's an alien?" W asked softly.
"I don't think so," U warily responded, he cautiously approached the creature. "It doesn't appear to be breathing."
"Um…is that a good or bad thing?" W muttered.
"Uh, I don't know, we should probably consult the MIB Handbook."
"Oh for the love of…" W began when suddenly the creature stirred.
"Back up!" U shouted, drawing his sidearm.
The creature moaned in an inhuman tone as it rose up on its hunches. It's yellow eyes narrowed on Agent W and a low grow escaped it's black lips.
"Uh, U…" W started to reach for her sidearm, somehow knowing that she'd never make it in time.
The creature leapt upon her, tackling her and bringing her crashing down on the wet asphalt. "U!"
"I can't get a clear shot!" he cried desperately.
"It's got my arm for crying out loud!" she winced in pain as the creature's fangs sank deep within her soft flesh. Blood ran down her arm and threads hung loose from her ripped sleeve.
U picked up a large tree branch that was lying on the roadside and struck the back of the creature with it. The animal was knocked unconscious and strewn out beside W.
"It's about time." she gasped, holding her arm tightly to stop the bleeding.
"Don't worry," U said in what he hoped was a comforting tone, "I've got you." he picked her up and carried over to the vehicle.
"This stings like you wouldn't believe!" W muttered trying not to scream in pain. The last thing she needed was for U to panic and black out on her now.
"Zed," U nervously spoke into the communicator.
"Yes Agent U?" Zed replied a second later.
"We've got a slight problem here Sir."
"What kind of a problem?" Zed sighed, cocking an eyebrow.
"Well Sir, Agent W was just attacked by some sort of creature that stumbled out of the woods."
"What?!"
"It's lying in the road right now Sir," U stuttered, glancing back to make sure he was right, "What should I do?"
"Is she hurt bad?"
"It's just a flesh wound!" W called from her seat.
"If that thing injected her with venom or something we're gonna need you to bring it back here for testing."
"What? How am I supposed to do that?"
"You've got a backseat don't you?" Zed replied.
"Uh, Sir…"
"DO IT!"
"Yes Sir." he sighed.
U turned to his partner and groaned, "Now I've gotta drag that thing all the way to the backseat."
"Good luck." she laughed.
