This story takes place four years after the events of Everybody Hurts.

…

Perry ran and slid along the floor as low as he could, the laser beam passing just over his head. He rolled to his feet, generated a proton disk, and threw it at the robot that the laser had just come from, making it explode. Perry leapt up, caught the ring, and threw it again, this time at the robot that was about to shoot Pinky the Chihuahua in the back.

On the other side of the room, Pansy slid under a robot's legs and used her electricity sticks to short the robot out. Then she kicked it in the back as hard as she could, sending it flying into another robot. Terry then appeared out of nowhere and slammed the second robot in the head, shorting that one out.

Across from them, Tallulah and Pinky were working together to take out a ring of robots around them. Tallulah tucked into her shell, which Pinky kicked hard, sending the shell spinning into several robots and knocking them down.

The metal doors in the large room suddenly and noisily slid open, revealing a giant robot that looked just like an inflated version of the robots the agents were fighting.

Perry lowered into a fighting stance, his proton ring held tightly in his paw. Tallulah and Terry went back to back and held up their fists. Pansy held her electricity sticks out towards the robot as if she was about to cast a spell with them. Pinky held up his own fists.

Then the robot unveiled laser vision.

All the agents scattered in different directions as the blast zapped the floor where Perry had just been. Everyone looked towards the teal platypus for orders. "Pansy, go for its eyes with your sticks," Perry ordered. "Tallulah, Terry, you two keep it distracted. Pinky-."

Perry ducked as a stream of fire flowed from the robot's metallic mouth. "-do something about that," Perry finished. "I'm going to find that ray. If you need help, just yell my name."

His team immediately put his orders into actions. Perry marvelled at the speed with which they acted, but he had no time to dwell on it. Slipping the proton disk back into his metal wrist brace, he ran towards the robot and forward-rolled through its legs as it made a clumsy attempt to squish him with its foot. He made it to the large bay doors, which apparently showed no signs of closing, and ran through them.

He found himself in the dark but he was able to see with the torch that every OWCA fedora was equipped with. He shone the light in front of him so that he was able to see where he was going. When he got into a large, lit, circular room with metal walls, he switched the light off and stared in amazement. Right in front of him was the biggest ray he had ever seen, pointing upwards. It looked like Doofenshmirtz's old disintegrate-inator but about ten times as big. He had no doubt that this could do some serious damage, whatever it was supposed to do. He stood there for a moment longer, making sure the camera in his hat was capturing this ray.

Being as quiet as he could, Perry leapt onto the body of the ray and searched for a way to disarm it. To his utter surprise, he found a button marked SELF-DESTRUCT. He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. Apparently Doofenshmirtz had had a design input. He didn't understand why Rodney even let Perry's former nemesis into LOVEMUFFIN in the first place, but he wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth. He pressed the self-destruct button. After backwards-somersaulting off the device, he quickly ran for the doors as the ray shook and shuddered, before finally exploding. What seemed odd to him was that nothing was guarding the ray. Surely Rodney would post someone or something to protect his very important –inator.

When he got back to his friends, he found a chaotic scene: Pansy was on top of the robot's head, hitting the thing over and over again with her sticks; Tallulah was dangling by her foot in the robot's hand; Terry was clutching hold of his twin sister's hands, also dangling in the air, but obviously trying to pull the yellow turtle down; and Pinky was absently pulling random bits of cable and circuits out of the robot's damaged chest. Perry stood still, watching the robot flail about with a damaged head and chest, and hoped that the video camera in his hat was recording this. He was definitely going to be showing this to his friends and his mate after the mission was over.

After a minute more, Perry re-generated his proton ring and threw it straight at the robot's damaged chest. Pinky dived off the robot and rolled as the ring hit the robot's chest. The robot began shuddering and sparking in much the same way that the ray did, and Perry knew it was going to explode. "Get down!" he yelled, throwing himself to the floor.

Tallulah managed to wrench herself out of the robot's grasp, sending her and her twin brother falling to the floor, where they raced into the corner furthest from the robot. Pansy pushed off from the robot's head, landed as gracefully as a cat, and followed the twin turtles into the corner. The robot spotted them and began walking shudderingly and mechanically towards them. They pressed themselves against the corner in fear, before something began beeping in the robot's head.

Perry had just enough time to cover his head before the robot exploded with an extremely loud noise. Perry curled up in a ball to protect himself from the metal parts that spread everywhere.

After everything had settled down, Perry slowly got to his feet and surveyed the scene. Terry, Tallulah, and Pansy were still huddled in the corner but they were starting to get up; and Pinky had just staggered to his feet.

"Everybody okay?" Perry called.

He got a chorus of yeses and murmurs of agreement as an answer. Panting, Pinky staggered over to the robot's head and gave it a kick. "Not so tough now, are you?"

"Why exactly were you pulling things out of the robot's chest?" Perry asked.

Pinky shrugged. "It was fun."

Perry gave him a scared look. "Man, I honestly think you have some kind of split personality disorder. When you're in the office, you're completely normal. Put a robot in front of you and you become calmly psychotic."

Pinky grinned and innocently held up two fistfuls of cable. Perry shook his head. "It's a bit worrying."

"Let's get back to HQ before any of LOVEMUFFIN realise we're here," Pansy said.

As he and his team began running for the exit, Perry frowned in thought. That's true, he thought. None of LOVEMUFFIN have realised we're here…we made a very big racket but nobody's come to see what's happening, not even Rodney.

I have a bad feeling about this…

This may seem like a random mission to start off the story but it's vitally important so please remember it 0:)
