Prologue: The New Recruit
Candace Flynn was talking on her cell phone with her best friend, Stacy. Her brother and step-brother, Phineas and Ferb, were working on a project. Her step-sister Jessie was taking a nap on the couch. Ferb was in the yard waiting for Phineas to return home with blueprints for the project. Candace was concerned for their safety because their projects were a bit dangerous, but she didn't really mind them building stuff. She used to try to get them in trouble with her mom but then, after a horrible nightmare, she realized that busting them would bring bad results.
"See ya later Stacy," Candace said, hanging up the phone.
Suddenly, Ferb came running into the house, his eyes wide in fear.
"What's wrong, bro?" asked Candace.
"We're being attacked!" said Ferb.
Wake up! Ferb said to Jessie with his mind.
Jessie's eyes fluttered open. She yawned. "What is it?" she asked.
"We're being attacked by a cyborg platypus and a man in black clothing," said Ferb.
"What?"
"Excuse me," said Candace, running upstairs. "MOM!"
The door of her parents' room opened. "What?" her mom, Linda answered, sounding a bit annoyed.
"Ferb says we're being attacked."
"Don't be silly Canda-" Linda was suddenly interrupted by a loud crash. They heard Jessie scream.
Candace, Linda and Linda's husband Lawrence ran downstairs. A tall man in black clothing glared at them. Ferb and Jessie lay on the floor, tied and gagged.
"Step away from our children!" Linda demanded.
The mysterious man smirked. "Ha! You think I'd just walk away from them? You can't command me, because soon I will be commanding you!"
Everyone gasped.
Without warning, a bunch of men in black clothes and animals wearing fedoras ran through the empty space where the door had once been. The men's suits had the initials OWCA written on them.
A cyborg platypus jumped on Candace and hit her on the head. Everything went black.
Candace heard a voice speaking. At first, she couldn't make out what it was saying. Then she heard the words, "Wake up!"
Candace's eyes snapped open. The tall man that had been attacking them was standing there, looking down at her. She stood and brushed herself off, glaring at the man.
"It's about time you woke up," the man said.
"Who are you? Where am I? What do you want with me?"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! One question at a time. First, I am Heinz. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, your new leader. Second, you are in my headquarters, the Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated building. Third-here's the deal. If you resist my leadership, you will live a hard life, if you even survive. Or, you can join me and do some special jobs for me."
"I-I'll think about it," said Candace. "Where are my parents and siblings?"
"Your siblings escaped," said Heinz. "As for your parents...if you become one of my minions, maybe I'll tell you what happened to them someday."
"W-what am I supposed to do?" asked Candace.
"For me? I will send you on missions to make sure nobody resists me. After all, we do want peace, don't we?"
Candace thought for a minute. Then she smiled. "Sure. It's a deal."
