Ultimate Alternate! Part 1
In some kind of a record studio's snack room, a teenage boy wearing a hockey helmet panickly hides near the door.
"We got to stop the invasion! It could wipe out everything we know," he said.
But another teen with a kid wearing a green jacket and striped shirt and a kid wearing a blue jacket and hat come up to him.
"You know it's a paintball fight, not an alien invasion," the second teen said while brandishing his blowgun.
"Can I just play what I want to?," the first teen said, annoyed.
"Not wanting to let his friend's imagination be ruined, the other sighed and said, "Fine."
With that, the first teen reloaded his blowgun with a yellow paintball and turned to his allies as he said, "Now, see if you can spot the enemy."
Along with the boy in green, he and the teen takes a peek to the lobby when they are suddenly froze while the other two are shocked at the shooting noises.
When they turned around, it revealed that they got shot by red, green, pink, and blue paintballs (which the latter has many shots as the others).
"They're in the lobby," the second teen quipped, annoyed.
It revealed that the ones who shot them are their friends, Kendall, his sister, Katie, and his another friend, Logan are hiding in their makeshift barrier. Kendall, Logan, and their friends who are their opponents, Carlos and James are part of a boy band, Big Time Rush, and they are just playing a friendly game of paintball fight to get some free time.
"I can't believe it, we're going to have a concert in one of the foreign lands in Asia, just got hooked into a biggest event of all worlds, plus we get to see the sights and sounds of the Philippines," Logan said to his friends.
"As long as we stick together, nothing is going to stop Big Time Rush," Kendall pointed out to him.
"Plus, we got more things to do than sightseeing, right Professor?," Katie asked a 50 year old man who just walked to them.
To everyone, he's just another friend to Big Time Rush, but to them, he's actually Professor Samuel Oak, a regional Pokemon professor from the Pokemon world, who was somehow here in Los Angeles for unknown reason.
"Yes," Oak said. "I don't know what "She" wants us to do in Manila, but I do one thing. Whatever it is what will answer all of our questions. And whatever it is, I'll be ready. As long as I don't lose my composure, nothing is going to stop us."
With that, he quickly pulled out the same blowgun as theirs, only with blue paintballs loaded, revealing that he shot the most to James and his ally.
"Now let's destroy Carlos," he said with a mischievous grin.
He then joined on their side as they prepare themselves to shoot another one.
"Dude, give me your straw," Carlos said to the boy in a blue jacket.
"Gross," James cringed. "What are you gonna do with it?"
"I'm gonna save this lost planet –again–with a mega action movie cool slide move thing!"
"Hey, how about me taking those guys?," the boy proposed. I got a plan to win this paintball war once and for all!
"Yeah, that's what you said about your ambush plan," James reminded him
"Yeah, I'll never forget that…," Carlos scoffed.
Flashback: Professor Oak just finished dressing up in his bedroom. But when he opened his closet to get his lab coat, the boy in blue jacket pops up upside down inside it.
Boy: Haha!
But before he can do anything, he was shot by blue paintballs several times, revealing that Oak fired it with his blowgun.
Oak: Can I have my lab coat, please?
Annoyed that he's out, the boy gave his lab coat in defeat before Oak closed the closet.
Boy: (winces) Ow!
"Hey, hiding in his closet wasn't even camouflage worthy!," the boy in the blue jacket defended.
"Yeah, so does ambushing him upside down, Blair," a boy in green said.
Carlos, getting impatient, snapped to Blair, "Can I have your blowgun, please?!"
Blair handed the blowgun over to Carlos, who screamed as he charged into the lobby and did a fast knee slide through the lobby past Kendall, Logan, Katie and Oak, through a hall, back into the snack room, back into the lobby (frantically trying to stop) and into Gustavo's office.
"Gustavo's gonna kill him!" Kendall and Logan panicked as they rushed to Carlos's aid as James does the same.
"It's all fun and games until Gustavo comes along," Oak groaned as he, Katie, Blair, and the other boy joined up with BTR.
When they entered Gustavo's office, they only saw BTR, Gustavo, and Kelly frozen, who are somehow shocked from something.
"What's going on?," Blair asked. Logan pointed at a TV screen with a breaking news report.
Reporter: With a sudden disinterest spreading, kids and teens everywhere are dropping pop music. Throwing out everything related to it, shirts, hats, mugs, keychains, and albums. From all different artists, such as Justin Bieber, Austin Mahone, One Direction, IM5, and most of all Big Time Rush. Or is it, Big Time Whom?
After the report, James looked like he was about to scream.
"Oh no, he's gonna pop!," Carlos panicked just as James opened his mouth.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-," James screamed.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!," Bren screamed as the scene changed to Fils-Aime Moffitt School in the Mid-Zone Lounge.
As Bren stops screaming, everyone in the Mid-Zone Lounge stare at him in a weird manner.
Jordan, unfazed, but annoyed by the scream, quipped, "Are you done?"
"No I'm not!," Bren panicked. "How did someone get a picture of me dancing to Katy Perry's "Roar" in my underwear, plus a video of me picking my own nose, and post them on his or her blog?!"
"At least that teach you not to spy on me in my real life self during my private time," Zeus chuckled.
"Zip it, Starr!," Bren said angrily and panicked as he looks on Jordan's rented PC. "I can't even believe this blogger guy even post this in it's own blog!"
Then, Andre and Layla came in the lounge as they rendezvous with their friends.
"What blog?," Layla asked. Andre saw the website on Jordan's PC and realized who it was.
"Oh, it's that LAHaterBlogger blog that everyone's been talking about," he said. "The blogger's anonymous, but everyone knows she's a girl since her blog is girly designed. She blogs anything she hates. She's so mean and bitter! I love her!"
The club members stare at Andre in a weird manner.
"Well, all she hates right now is us, sort of," Jordan said as she loked at her screen. "Look at all these embarrassing videos."
She clicked her mouse to move to a new video. "Itzal With Broccoli In His Teeth."
She clicked again. "Calla In The Worst-Looking Dress Ever."
She clicked again. "Zeus Stepping In Gum."
She clicked again. "Kani Chewing Her Toenails." She clicked again. "Andre Checking Out Kani…Not So Discreetly."
The said video showed Andre checking Kani out as he walks by, only to bump head-on into a wall. Layla laughed at this.
"I'm so embarrassed," Andre said as he covered his face. Layla then clicked 'Like' for the vid; as Andre saw. "Layla!"
"Sorry Andre, but funny's funny!," she said.
Back in Rocque Records, Gustavo gathered the band together in the meeting room, including Oak and Katie.
"Okay, I just got one question to start this off," Gustavo said calmly before angry shouting, "HOW CAN KIDS JUST SUDDENLY LOSE INTEREST IN ONE OF THE HOTTEST BOY BANDS OF ALL TIME?!"
"THAT'S WHAT WE WANNA KNOW!," James shouted back.
"Now guys, let's not blow this out of proportion," Kendall said trying to calm them down.
"How can we not?!," Carlos said frantically. "This is the beginning of the end for us. I just know it!"
"Okay, now you're just being paranoid," Logan stated.
"'Noid to the max, guys," Katie agreed. "There has to be a reason for this."
"Not to drive this subject off-topic, but I felt that something's up," Oak told them. "Children and teens just can't change their interests overnight."
"He's right," Kelly agreed. "It often takes time for them to lose interest in something and then move on to the next big thing. This is not normal."
Suddenly Griffin appeared with Obdul and another guy flanking him.
"And yet it's happening," Griffin he pointed out. "This is a big time epidemic. An epidemic that's costing me big time bucks. Which brings me to regretfully have to announce that Big Time Rush is to be disbanded, and the music department of RCM CBT Globalnet Sanyoid is to be indefinitely shut down."
"Everyone became stunned, as he then said, "Sorry folks, but that's business!"
Everyone was shocked at this, and James prepared to scream again.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!," he shouted.
"WAIT!," Oak shouted. Everyone turned around and stared at him in shock. "What if I investigate this strange matter? Don't worry, this is like the other cases I've solve. I can solve it before that day of the concert."
Griffin then ponder about his offer.
"I sincerely doubt that's possible," he said, causing the others to become disappointed at this. "But then again, they didn't call you -Black Detective- for nothing. But ONLY for two days. Because that concert is the band's biggest selling yet. If you fail, it's all over for them and Roque Records."
"Deal. Along with Nate and Blair..."
"Sorry, Professor, but we're going to pass on this one," Blair said.
"Why?," Oak asked confused, before he realized why. "Wait a minute, it's about that new girl from the Kalos region in our team, right?"
"Yeah, and I'm gonna ask her out," Nate said.
"No way. I'm gonna ask her out," Blair protested.
"No, I am!"
"No, I am!"
"Guys, guys," James said as he came in between the two The only way any girl would go out with you two is if she actually liked you guys.
James then laughed out loud as his and Blair then laughed along at first before both stopped and the former growled, "Die."
Both boys then tackled James and wrestled him to the and irritated by their fight, Gustavo signaled everyone to put in earplugs, which they did, as he pushes a "STOP FIGHT" button, creating a loud alarm sound, causing Nate and Blair to hear it in pain before they fainted in the process.
"Now that's done...," Gustavo said as he turned to Oak. "You, investigate."
He then turned back to Nate and Blair. "You two, stop fighting like dogs!"
He then took out a remote and hit the "EXIT" button. A pair of arms then grabbed both Nate and Blair and threw them out the studio.
"Don't come back until you stop acting like animals!"
"Well, since they are also busy, we, Big Time Rush, will help him on the case," Kendall said.
"Yeah, I remember your friends are also busy, right?," Katie pointed out too.
"I know, but I can't risk you four to endanger yourselves just to help me. I can do this alone," Oak told them, not wanting to put them in any predicaments.
"Hey we've gotten ourselves out of all kinds of danger before," Carlos pointed out.
"Plus, this is our band, fame and fortune on the line here," James reminded him. "We're not just gonna sit here and do nothing."
"That's right, it's all for one and one for all!," Logan declared.
Oak thought for a second before saying, "No guys. Not this time. I'm sorry but I just can't risk you guys getting hurt or worse. Now I best get started on the investigation now."
Back at LA in the Millennium Metropolis (M&M) Mall, Jordan and Zeus, now in his real-life form, Professor Oak are sitting in a table at the GreenBerry Yogurt Shop.
"I can't believe there's an anonymous blogger who hates us," she said in dismay I mean, the 'Jordan Face-First In Spaghetti' vid has already got 50 hits and some of them are from our school.
She then noticed some boys laughing and mocking her, until she growls at them in anger, causing them to run away in fear.
"Don't worry, Jordan," Oak said trying to cheer her up. "Like you said, LAHaterBlogger's website only has 50 hits."
His laptop beeped. "Now 112 hits."
It beeped again, and he became shocked upon seeing it. "1,059."
It beeped again, as he sweat-dropped.
"Okay, maybe worry." He said as he closed his laptop. "So what do we do now?"
"Maybe we should do only good things so that LAHaterBlogger won't have nothing bad to smear us with," Jordan suggested.
"Excellent idea!"
Oak then looked and saw a kid he knew. "Hey Ian!."
A boy with glasses and black vest ran up to the two
"Yeah, Mr. Olens?," Ian said.
Oak offered a quarter to him as he said, "How would you like a shiny new quarter to make a wish in the fountain with?"
"Thanks, sir! I'm wishing to be taller!," Ian said with glee as he headed to the fountain.
Oak then strolled around everyone in an obvious poise. "Yep it's me, Sonny Olens, a good guy who makes little kids wishes come true."
Suddenly the two heard a splash. They both looked back to see Ian had fallen in the fountain.
"IAN!," they both shouted as they ran to his aid.
"Are you okay?," Oak asked as he grabbed Ian and lifted him out of the fountain. "You're supposed to let the coin go when you toss it into the fountain."
"So no getting taller?," Ian asked in uncertainty.
"Sorry pal," Jordan said.
"Aw, rickles!," Ian groaned as he left in disappointment.
Jordan, picks up on opportunity, then said, "Mr. Olens, you just saved Ian."
She then started applauding, and soon enough all those who witnessed what happened followed.
"Let see LAHaterBlogger make that look bad," Oak said in glee.
"SONNY OLENS DUNKS DEFENSELESS KID INTO FOUNTAIN?!," Zeus shouted, shocked upon seeing LAHaterBlogger's website in the Chill Room the next day. "I can't believe LAHaterBlogger blogs about my real-life identity, too!"
"Wow, LAHaterBlogger is good," Bren quipped with a mischievous grin. "She make you dunk a kid far better than you can make yourself dunk a basketball."
Bren started laughing, and Zeus, clearly ticked off, jumped on him and wrestled him to the ground.
"You just don't know when to shut up, do you, Bren-less?," Jordan said, shaking her head as she watched the two wrestle around.
Meanwhile in Hollywood, Oak is taking a bus to his destination as he reads something from his phone.
"Hmm... Children and teenagers suddenly lose interests in music," Oak said to himself. "It does seems strange. But then again, maybe some of their parents just tricked them into getting rid of that "irritating" pop music."
Just then, he sees some teens outside of the window going to the building that the bus is about to stop to. "But then again..."
Forgetting his destination, he got off the bus as soon as it stops at it's loading area. After he got off, he was shocked to see the poster on the building, stating, "CREATE A UTOPIA FOR THE FUTURE GENERATION! JOIN THE XY HIVE SOCIETY!"
"XY Hive Society?" Oak asked himself "Never heard of them before."
He then grabbed a nearby pamphlet and read it. "As you join the Society, you will experience the joys of your future along with great amenities for kids and teens alike."
"Yeah," a voice said. Oak turns around to see a newspaper reporter. "It's been in the news lately and I'm going to get the latest scoop! Every reporter wants to know the behind the scenes about that so-called society and I'm going to be the first one to report one!"
The reporter then excitingly entered the building.
"Talk about ecstatic, kid," Oak laughed before getting serious. "Now to enter the building and learn more about this society of theirs. It's just a youth club, maybe they need parental supervision to enter. I just going to ask Katie and..."
He stopped in mid-sentence when he saw a man being carried away by two silver and blue suited teens.
"You can't do this to me!," the man angrily protested. "I don't want to let my child join that rebellious group of yours."
"It's his decision, not yours," the first teen said in a monotone voice.
"In our society, youth have to think for themselves," the second teen explained, also in monotone. "You can't control them any longer. As for you, there are no adults in our premises."
"You can't do this!," the man screamed furiously. "I'll have you shut down! You'll be finished you hear me? Finished!"
The teens then threw the man out onto the street pretty froze for a few seconds upon seeing this, before saying, "Okay, parental supervision plan, not going to work on this situation. Desperate times calls for desperate measures."
The scene cuts to Oak opens a vent in the corner of the hallways.
"Time to see what you are, XY Soul Society," he said. He then tried to enter the vent, but dicovered he was too big to fit in, forcing him to struggle out. "GRAAGGHH! I always forget I'm too big when it comes to these things. Good thing I got something to solve this dillemma."
He then tried to pull something out of his pocket, only to find nothing.
"Except it's still in maintenance..."
"What are you doing, adult?, " a monotone voice quickly turns around to see some teens in the same silver and blue suits, along with kids in gold and red suits surrounding him. "Adults are not allowed in our premises."
Oak grinned sheepishly, as he quickly said. "Uh, adult is such a strong word to describe me. Besides, I'm a-"
Before he can finish his sentence, he was quickly thrown out of the building in just 10 seconds, landing him in the trash can.
"You do realize this means war."
First, Oak tried to pose as a pizza delivery guy, with a uniform and pizza box and entered the building and knocks on the door of the recruitment room. The door opened second later.
"Pizza delivery!," he said with a smile. Seconds later he was thrown out again, along with his pizza.
Next, he manages to sneak in and pose as a janitor complete with a cart of cleaning supplies. He makes his way to the recruitment room, but as he's about to open the door, two more teens stop him.
"Hold it, adult," they said.
"No, no. I'm the janitor fellas," Oak chuckled. Seconds later, he was tossed out the building again, along with his cart.
Now, Oak tried to dress up as a reporter like the previous guy. He'd snuck into the building dressed in a suit and with a small recorder in his pocket. He once more made his way to the recruitment room, and was about to open the door when…
"Freeze, adult," the teens said again.
"Oh, I'm Lance Johns, with the press," Oak quickly covered. "I'm looking to get an interview with those who work here."
"It's as we told the other guy: No interviews," one teen said.
"Well maybe you can make an exception for a top-notch journalist like me?," he said as he smiled sheepishly. seconds later he is thrown out yet again. "Guess not."
Meanwhile at a Pokemon Center somewhere in Kalos, a young blonde-haired girl wearing a pink hat and sunglasses on it is reading a fashion magazine when unknown to her, Nate, now in his usual Pokemon trainer attire consists of his favorite visor hat, blue shirt, white shorts, a blue and black suit underneath his clothes, and red and black sneakers, and Blair are spying on her behind a potted plant.
"Okay what's the intel?," Nate asked.
"According to Litleo Pop, 75% of girls love the bad boy type," Blair said as he quickly changes into bad boy clothing. That's what I'm going with. What about you? 60% love the Steamy fireman. 40% like the brooding loner. And 0.1% love the jolly pastry chef."
Nate shook his head no at all those suggestions as he said, "I'm just gonna be myself."
"That never works!," Blair laughed as he strolled over to girl and sat in a chair next to her.
"Hi!," the girl said upon noticing him. "I'm Yvonne Acerbus."
She then saw his attire. "Cool jacket. Are you trying out for a bad boy role in a movie or something?"
"Yeah, Pyroar's Love Cannot Fainted," he answered.
"I see. Well that's good, because I hate bad boys in real life. I'm mean, why are they so angry all the time?"
Blair was stunned at this as he stammered, "Yeah…I-I mean I, uh- gotta run!"
He then quickly got up and ran back to where Nate is. "Ugh, I can't believe I panicked out!"
"Okay. Now, it's my turn," Nate said as he strolled over to where Yvonne when he approached, he noticed that she was gone.
"Aww, Fire Blast!," Nate snapped, angry and dismayed, as Blair secretly snickered at him.
Later in Bren's house, the Runners knocked on the door, which Bren's dad, Kelo answered it.
"Oh, Jordan, Calla, Zeus, Itzal, and Kani!," he greeted his niece and her friends. "Are you here for Bren?"
"Yeah," Calla answered him. "He just ditched us and today's Saturday! He usually go out on that day."
"Have you seen him, Uncle Kelo?," Jordan asked her uncle.
"Yeah, he's somehow paranoid over that website he's mentioning a lot," Kelo replied.
Knowing that website might be LAHaterBlogger's, they asked Kelo to enter his house, which he accepts.
As they entered Bren's bedroom, the Runners are quickly shocked as they saw a big tent inside his room, which Bren got out of there when he saw his friends.
"You're serious, right?," Jordan asked, appalled.
"Like it? I call it my mini-arcade!," Bren told them. "If I want to stay here for the rest of my life, I might as well make a fun place after I'm done with other stuff."
"Mini-arcade?," Zeus said as he took a look inside. "More like a tent stuffed with game consoles."
"Yeah," Kani added. "You can't just lock yourself in your own house just because of a blogger writing everything negative about us."
"Yeah, it's not like LAHaterBlogger's ruining our lives, or anything like that," Itzal pointed out trying to see the bright side of the situation. Just then, Andre and Layla barged in with shock and horror on their face.
"LAHaterBlogger is ruining our lives!," Layla shouted.
"See?!," Bren said, shocked at that news as his friends get the same reactions as his.
"The mall manager saw Zeus dunking Ian into the fountain and banned his real-life form for two months!," Andre informed them.
"WHAT?!," Zeus gasped in shock.
"That's not all!," Layla added. "She also posted about Kani accidentally hitting a falcon with a bow and arrow and got kicked out of the archery as of the result of that blog post!"
"The archery kicked me out?!," Kani said in shock before screaming, "NOOOOOOOOOO!"
"Okay, it's official," Calla said. "That blog has to shut down before it spreads any more lies about us that could cost us our privacy and more!"
"Before anyone objects about Calla's idea, Ms. Reyheart already agreed on shutting that website down," Andre put out.
"Ms. Reyheart said that herself?," Zeus asked.
"Yeah," Layla said. "She saw not only your real personal lives, but also, your online lives, too!"
Andre opens his laptop, as he said, "If you don't believe us, then check this out! '10 Things You Don't Know About Black and White's Very Best.'"
Layla clicked the computer's mouse as she scanned the articles.
"Such as Crystal Aquilla Lacks Fashion Sense," she said as she clicked it again.
"Unknown Cold Avatar Itzal Kurosawa Pigs Out."
She clicked it again. "And PVP Champion Zeus Starr Does Dumb Victory Dance!"
"What?!," they all shrieked as they all looked and saw the embarrassing articles. "How'd she get these?!"
"Apparently she has a ULO account too!," Andre informed them
"Okay, we have go to do something about this," Jordan said, very peeved off.
"Clearly," Itzal said.
"I hope that she didn't have anything to post about me, Calla, and Kani's online lives?," Bren said with hope.
Andre looked uneasy as he said, "Well…"
Bren, realizes what Andre was about to say, quickly said, "She did, didn't she?"
Andre nodded 'yes' in dismay. Bren, now angry, growled, "Oh, she's going down!"
After he recovered from being kicked out of the building several times, Oak is pacing back and forth outside the building, now wondering how to get into it, but got no ideas since he tried every disguise he can think of.
"I have to get in there," he said. "But I've exhausted all my disguises. What do I do now?"
He reached in his pocket while he thought about what to when he reached into his pocket, he suddenly felt something and when he pulled it out, he saw a smartphone-like, black and silver chrome-plated device on his hand.
"Huh, where did this come from?"
He touched the touchscreen of the phone, which the screen suddenly splits into two and fold itself to reveal some sort of an octagon-shaped slot inside it.
"Never seen this gadget before."
Upon taking a closer look of the device, he remembers something as he pulls out a case and when he opens it, it revealed that the case contains 3 octagon-shaped medals. One is silver with a the image of a microchip on it, another one is black with a chameleon on it, and the last is gold with the image of an Old-Western revolver on it.
"The slot in this device looks like the same shape as these medals."
Saying that, he took out the black medal to compare it to the slot.
"What could this be?"
But before he can take a closer look at the device, the black medal suddenly glows purple and as if it has a mind of it's own, it suddenly drags Oak to a nearby alley.
"Hey! What is the meaning-," he said as he tried to control his hand holding the medal, but couldn't. "Hey, let me go, whatever you are!"
Before he can say anything else, the medal pulls him to the alley. As Oak left, a bus suddenly parks outside the building, which Kendall, Carlos, Logan, and James exited it while wearing different hats to prevent themselves from drawing the crowd.
"And why do we have to take the bus again?," James asked in annoyance.
"Because we have to disguise ourselves to prevent more fans chasing us," Logan reminded him. "Even a limo will draw us out."
He then turned to Kendall. "And I don't want sound negative but, why are we here again?"
"To help Professor Oak, that's why," Kendall answered him. "I know he's trying to protect us, but he can't do this alone."
"Come on he's a world famous detective, don't you think he can handle himself just fine?," Carlos asked.
"Yeah, but even so, you should never go anywhere without backup."
"Oh, come on I'm sure he's doing just fine on his own," James said unworried.
At the alley, Oak was dragged inside by his own medal.
"Stop! STOP! STOOOOOOOPPPPPP!," he screamed as he finally stopped. "Oh thank you very much."
Then, the medal forced his hand to put itself on the device's slot.
"Oh, what now?"
As the medal was placed in the slot, the device suddenly activates as it envelops itself in black and purple light, enveloping Oak as well as he screams in shock. When the light disappears, in his POV, he looks around the alley, seeing that nothing happened.
"What's with that light all of the sudden?," Oak, asked, confused, as he looked in puddle and sees that in his reflection he's now wearing a spy tuxedo.
"Wow, pretty stylish," he said in an emotionless tone of voice. "And why do I sound so dull and emotionless? Why do I feel this way too? What's happening here?"
Then all of the sudden, dark fog-like aura envelops the Pokemon Professor and after a few seconds, the aura disappears, revealing that he transformed into a brown-haired teenage boy wearing the same silver and blue jumpsuit that the teens inside the building wears.
"Whoa, that's one disguise I've never seen before," he said in a monotone-ish teenage boy's voice. "At least my emotions are back, sort of. What's going on?"
Then, his eyes glowed purple for a second as his eyes widened, as he realized something.
"I see. So whatever happened to me, somehow gave me an ability to disguise any person with their personality without any costume. Incredible!"
Then, a boy in the same suit saw him at the alley.
"Hey, what are you doing here?," the boy said. "State your name and role."
Oak, noticing the boy, exclaimed in his monotone voice, "Oh! My name is uh…Blake…um…Nova. I'm a guard for the uh…recruitment room."
"What are you doing out here?," the boy asked.
"Taking a short break."
"Well, return to your post at once."
"Yes, sir," Blake/Oak said as he left the alley.
At the same time, Big Time Rush had managed to enter the building no problem (since they were still teens). They walked around, looking at the place for any sign of Oak. As Logan looked, he saw the still-open vent where Oak tried and failed to enter.
"Hey guys look! You think he went through here?," he said as he and the others approached it.
"Only one way to find out," Kendall said. "Guys it's time for another vent quest."
"Oh, can I lead this time?!," Carlos asked enthusiastically.
"No!," the others shouted.
"Why not?!," Carlos whined.
"Cause you'll get us lost, just like in that haunted house every year since 5th grade," James reminded him.
"I'll go first, then James, then Logan, and Carlos will bring up the rear," Kendall said as Carlos groaned. "Now let's go!"
The boys then squeezed into the vent one at a time.
As they entered the recruitment room, Blake/Oak was shocked to see many kids and teens gathered in one place.
"Wow, I've never seen so many kids and teens gathered in one place," he exclaimed.
"They are all here to join our society. But first they must hear some words from our queen," another teen said.
"Well, who is this queen exactly?"
"You will find out. Here she comes."
Jus then a woman wearing a red cape under blue jacket and white blouse, black pencil skirt, gold high heels, and a gold crown worn on her head emerged from a back door and stood on a podium in front of the kids and teens. She then pulled out a small stack of papers and began to speak.
"Greetings, everyone," she said, "As you know we kids have been oppressed by adults for too long. With them always telling us, we can't have this, and we can't do that, or you can't stay up or out that late, we can't play that kind of video game or listen to that kind of music, and making us eat what we don't want to eat. Well now's the time for us kids and teens to break free from them, and do stuff for ourselves. I mean, we're all old enough anyway, right?"
"Yeah!," the kids and teens cheered.
"Well, this is what the XY society offers to all of you, the ability to make your own choices with out adult interference!"
The kids and teens started to applaud, until the queen silenced them.
"There is just one small catch," she continued. Unknown to the kids and teens, the members in the room began to move as if they were going to attack. "You must go through a short, and painless process that will force you to give up your free will and independence…"
"Giving up free will and independence?! What kind of youth society is this?!," Blake/Oak thought rapidly.
Meanwhile inside the vents, Logan is starting to get annoyed at Carlos's whining over not being able to lead.
"It's just so unfair!," Carlos whined
"Will you stop all this whining?!," Logan snapped, irritated at Carlos's childishness.
"Shut up, Mr. Braniac!," Carlos snapped back. The two then started telling each other to shut up back and forth.
"Guys, now's not the time for this," Kendall said, trying to calm the feud but to no avail.
"Shut up!," Carlos shouted.
"You shut up!," Logan screamed back. The two then attack each other as Kendall and James tried to stop them.
