Author's note: Honestly, I thought Mouse Rise was going to be as dark or intense as a Gravity Falls finale "Weirdmageddon", but apparently my standards were a bit too high with this. It's not as good as Mouse Fall (because it ended in a tearjerker cliffhanger), but it's not entirely awful either.
So I find Mouse Rise to be okay. Nothing great. Nothing spectacular. Nothing entirely epic. Just okay.
As suggested by Zarius, I've decided to do MY version of Mouse Rise.
Like before, Danger Mouse's personality is STILL going to be a mix between his original 80s personality and his 2015 personality.
So sit back and enjoy my take on Mouse Rise. An okay second part of the season finale, but not as great as the first part.
It had only been a week.
A week since the incident-
No.
Tragedy.
A week since the tragedy occurred.
A week since Danger Mouse, the world's greatest secret agent, have disappeared without a trance. The only thing left of him afterwards was his badge and his iPatch.
A week since he had a battle against a wicked trillionaire named Augustus P. Crumhorn IV who was now revealed to be the father of the Princess. And he was on a losing streak due to Crumhorn releasing 12 of his worst enemies from the asylum in order to wear him out.
And Crumhorn had the nerve to kill Penfold just to break Danger Mouse even more… only for Danger Mouse to step in the way at the last minute to save Penfold.
Either way, Crumhorn had everything he wanted. Danger Mouse dead, the Secret Services not being able to do anything without Danger Mouse, and the world being so helpless now that the world's greatest secret agent is dead.
He was ten times worse than Penfold's treacherous ex-third cousin Alexander.
And it had only been less than a day since the tragedy when Danger Hedgehog, Danger Moth and Danger Mole tearfully had to call off the search and assume the worst. It wasn't easy, and they knew that Penfold would be heartbroken the most.
Danger Mouse wasn't coming back.
He is dead.
Such heartbreaking news changed everything.
Professor Squawkencluck had locked herself in the lab, and forced herself to work on her inventions, anything that can bring Danger Mouse back, but ever since the tragedy, she can't seem to focus on her work. Her sanity and rationality is slowly slipping every day to the point where she might be deemed unfit to work.
She didn't take a break.
She didn't eat.
She didn't even sleep.
Danger Moth had to keep an eye on her every day to make sure the professor isn't putting her health in jeopardy.
Colonel K wasn't spared from this either.
He tried very hard to forget about the tragedy.
He tried to stay positive.
He tried to do the things he normally do every day.
He tried to keep himself occupied with his work.
But the memories of the tragedy just wouldn't leave him.
Penfold was broken.
If Danger Mouse haven't stepped into the missiles' way to pull a heroic sacrifice, he would still be alive, doing everything he can to take down Crumhorn and save the world like always. Yes it would mean that he would be dead instead of him, but at least Danger Mouse would be alive.
He and Danger Mouse shared a special bond. A bond so special and so strong that it cannot be broken into pieces no matter what.
He was more than a secret agent.
He was more than a best friend.
He was like the brother he never had.
And when he saw Danger Mouse's badge and iPatch in the wreckage when he replayed the tragedy that I recorded with my phone, he realized something.
He thinks back to the time where Professor Squawkencluck is showing off her teleporter. She had built it in hopes of getting the agents to their desired destinations quicker than taking the taxi to the library, but Danger Mouse was quick to criticize the problem with it after Danger Hedgehog tested it. The teleporter sends an agent to a random destination with no clothes nor memories.
Could it be that maybe, just maybe that Danger Mouse is alive, somewhere in the world with no clothes nor memories?
It had to be.
That's the only explanation he can think of.
So, with a newfound confidence and after saying his goodbyes to Colonel K, the professor, and the other agents, Penfold started packing the things he might need to make the journey.
The journey to find an amnesiac Danger Mouse, and bring him back home in time for a showdown with Crumhorn.
He knows that he may be going on some wild goose chase, but it'll be worth it in the end when he does find Danger Mouse.
Wherever he is.
