It had been about six months since the end of Gadget and the Gadgetinis. Nothing had changed, except Penny and William Thaw (Dr. Claw's nephew) kept in contact now. They only did e-mail at the moment, since Gadget had no idea of William's relation to Dr. Claw. Until Penny was sure that Gadget wouldn't automatically be suspicious of William she and William had decided to not tell Gadget the truth for now. Gadget did have a habit of jumping to conclusions after all.
Another mission had been completed. It was the usual kind of mission: Dr. Claw came up with a plan to rule the world, Gadget was informed of the plan, he and the Gadgetinis went to investigate, Penny solved the case and helped the Gadgetinis beat Dr. Claw, and Gadget got the credit. The plan that time had been to cause mysterious disappearances of world leaders, and have Dr. Claw take over while a fake detective 'finds' them. Of course the detective was never going to find the world leaders, but Penny did by hacking into Dr. Claw's main computer and looking up where he put them. William gave her the info, including where to find Dr. Claw's new hideout, since he did a little practice hacking of his own months ago just in case. Thank goodness William wasn't caught.
Later that day, Dr. Claw had gotten fed up with Gadget defeating him every time and so decided to look through his security videos. That's when he saw a video of Penny hacking into his computer for the day before!
"Who is that?" He cried.
One of his goons recognized her.
"Oh, that must be Gadget's niece. I remember her from back when your nephew invited her to your old hideout for dinner." He said. "And it looks like she's hacking into your computer."
"I can see that! So it was her to caused Gadget to win yesterday!" Dr. Claw snapped.
He then went through his security camera archives and found Penny helping Gadget and the Gadgetinis during various plans he had in the past.
"So she's the secret behind Gadget's success! Get to the Gadget house first thing tomorrow, I want her alive so I can kill her myself! Let's see how Gadget fares without his beloved niece!" Dr. Claw laughed evilly.
