Chuck vs The Villains Three

"Set just over a year after the events of, "Chuck vs The Goodbye", Chuck, Sarah, and Morgan have turned Carmichael Industries into a computer firm that counters cyber-terrorism. Their current mission involves the apprehension of a notorious hacker, and part-time assassin, known by the codename, "Lazarus". However, unbeknownst to Team Bartowski, all of this actually ties into something far greater. Along with, "Lazarus", emerges a second new villain, and a villain of old. Together, with friends and family, comes an adventure that will be sure to test them all."

Quick-Prologue

"After over a month of pursuit, and a number of capture attempts, Team Bartowski have tracked the dangerous hacker Lazarus, who has run amok all across Europe, to London. This time, they try to stop him from stealing valuable government information from an MI6 facility. Unfortunately, for them, Lazarus has been paid to steal it. It's a job. And once he accepts a job, he makes sure he sees it through. Always."

Chapter 1: Lazarus

The MI6 building lay in silence. The guards were either unconscious, dead, or close to dying. The electronic doors leading into the main room, hacked. Inside the room, stands a man. He stands 6'2 in height, wearing a dark gray leather jacket and a black balaclava so no one can see his face. He begins to hack the main console, breaking every firewall that stands in the way. Once that's finished, he proceeds to download the Intel. As he waits, he hears the sound of the elevator coming up. And then opening. The sound of footsteps soon follow. Then... they walk in. A Man and a Woman. The Woman is blonde, beautiful, dressed in black, and wearing high-heeled boots. The Man, tall, dark brown hair, and wearing Converse sneakers. They all just look at each other, no one saying a word.

"Hello again, Lazarus." says the Man, breaking the silence.

"Mr and Mrs. Carmichael. Or may I call you, Chuck and Sarah? So nice to see you two again. I can see you want to go for attempt number... six? In apprehending me."

"I believe its number seven now. And it's, Mrs. Carmichael." says Sarah in a strict tone.

Lazarus smiles and says. "If you're referring to that time in Madrid when your, 'little bearded friend' tripped me on accident... that doesn't count."

Morgan, in the van and keeping watch, hears this and says to Chuck and Sarah, who are wired for sound. "You know. Just because it happened accidentally, doesn't mean it shouldn't count."

"Lazarus, this is your one warni...". But before Chuck could finish, Lazarus interrupts.

"First, please, call me Laz. I think we've known each other long enough for you to call me that. Secondly. Why don't you hold on to that thought for just one more minute. The download is done."

"Stop what you're doing or we'll shoot." says Sarah.

Laz calmly laughs and tells them. "No... you wont."

"Why is that?" asks Chuck.

"Well let me tell you... or rather show you... whatever." Laz opens his jacket and reveals a type of monitor on his chest. "I've rigged the place with explosives. If you shoot me, tranq me, or do anything else that causes my heartbeat to go lower or higher than what I've set it to, this place, and more importantly where you two stand, go's boom, and yes I know... I just said boom."

Chuck and Sarah look at each other stunned. "You're lying." says Chuck.

"Do you really want to test that?" asks Laz.

Chuck tells him."You can stop this. You don't have to do this."

"Are you really trying to talk me down? Wow! Didn't you try to do that in attempt number three?... And four?... And five? I've said this before and I will say it again. This is a job, Chuck and I don't really care what it entails. As long as I can do it, and more importantly... get paid."

"And the assassination jobs you've taken?" asks Sarah.

"That's... 'a side thing'. Times are though. You gotta find work anyway you can, right?" He jokes. "And besides... you two are no different."

"We're nothing like you." says Chuck, taking offense to the comment.

"Really? So the... substantial bounty on my head has nothing to do with the fact that you're chasing me all over the place? It sounds like you're splitting hairs a little bit."

"We're doing this because you've caused too much trouble." says Sarah.

"Oh of course. This... Everything! Is all in the name of justice and all that crap, right?" Laz, annoyed, and just wanting to leave at this point, says. "Okay... you know what? As much as I am loving the playful banter that's going on between us, I really need to go. So... goodbye. And can't wait until try number eight. Alright?... See ya!"

"You're not leaving!" yells Sarah.

With a smile, Laz says. "Too bad you guys don't have any night vision gear. That probably would have helped you." And with a swipe of his finger, everything suddenly goes black.

Trying his best to maneuver in the dark, Chuck says."Sarah?"

"I'm right here! Grab my hand. Are you okay?" She asks as she clutches his hand tightly.

"Yeah, I'm fine. How about you?"

"I'm fine, too." She says.

"Let me try to get in touch with Morgan." says Chuck. "Morgan?... Morgan?... I'm getting nothing."

After a couple of minutes of pitch black darkness, the lights finally come back on. With no sign of Laz.

"Hey, Chuck! You guys alright?" asks Morgan, finally able to get through.

Chuck quickly responds. "Yeah, buddy. Sarah and I are fine. What happened?"

"I don't know dude. I'm here, monitoring everything... and then the power goes out. Everything just turned dark."

"Did you get anything on, Laz?" asks Chuck

"No, I'm sorry." says Morgan. "He just disappeared... again."

"And the Intel?" Chuck asks.

"Gone... all of it. The guy really doesn't joke around when he gets a job does he?"

"No, I guess not. Notify MI6. Tell them that there agents down and in need of medical care. Me and Sarah are heading back now. So get the van ready."

"Alright, dude. Got it." says Morgan.

"So, what should our next move be?" Sarah asks.

"I don't know, Sarah. We keep chasing this guy around and so far we have nothing to show for it."

Sarah looks over at Chuck and tells him. "How about we go back to Burbank. We can re-charge our batteries, rest up. After that, we'll make a decision on what to do next."

"Okay, sounds good. It has been about a month since we've been home." says Chuck.

Sarah leans toward him and says. "Exactly. And you know what... I've missed our home, and especially our own bed."

"Yeah I think I've missed that the most, too." He says with a smile.

They share a kiss... and then are quickly interrupted by Morgan.

"Hey guys! Can you maybe speed it up a little? I'm kinda getting scared at the thought of Laz coming back and gutting me as i wait here. So..."

"We're getting in the elevator now, Morgan." says Chuck. "Get ready buddy, we're going home."

"Really? That's great! Because you know that whole phone thing Alex and I were doing really wasn't working for me. I mean how cou..." Chuck quickly stops him.

"Alright, we're taking off our mic's now. Thank you, Morgan."

Chuck and Sarah get into the elevator, go down to the lobby, and hop in the van. All of them back on their way to Burbank. Back home.

End of Chapter 1.
