Tri-Genetics 3 CH 1
Previously on Grossology:
-Lance presses a button and Roger groans in pain "Let's piece together the puzzle, shall we?"
-A series of images flashes through Robert's brain
-Roger glares at a picture of Ty and Abby Archer "It's payback time"
-Ty and Abby are fighting a pair of figures who leap twenty feet into the air "What kind of guys can do that"
- Lab Rat analyzes a sample "I'm picking up Ant and Grasshopper DNA".
- The grossologists paste Insectiva and the mutants to a wall. Insectiva screams "I DID NOT CREATE THESE MONSTROSITIES!"
- Ty and Abby are surrounded by mutated students at the school.
- Roger steps out from behind the mutated students, smiling. "Roger, you're behind this?" Abby stammers, wide-eyed
- Abby and Ty run down the corridor, Roger screams "AFTER THEM!"
- Lab Rat unwraps a cookie and places it under a scanner. "Lance Boil must have mutated those two kids from before with insect DNA so we'd go after Insectiva"
- "Leaving him free to flood out school with mutagen cookies" Ty adds
- A panel in the wall opens up, "I've whipped up an antidote, but it's concentrated. You'll need to find a way to distribute it to the mutated students"
- The ventilation shafts burst open. "They're penetrated the gag lab! Get out of here!" Lab Rat yells. Abby climbs down a hole in the floor, Ty throws her the antodite, but the hole seals before he can climb down
- Abby climbs out of the pipe, a mutant reached up and grabs her hand
- "Hi-Ya!" Naomi slams a broom down on the mutant's hand.
- "Nice work" Abby comments
- "Thanks. Now can you tell me what's going on here?" Naomi demands
- "What I'm about to tell you will blow your mind" Abby begins.
And now: Tri-Genetics part 3
"First off: I'm a good guy" Abby reassured Naomi, who nodded. "I work for a secret branch of the government called the Bureau of Grossology. As a field grossologist, my mission is to battle crimes in the city that are too repulsive or repellent for the police to handle. With me so far?"
"I think so" Naomi replied
""The guy with the oversized head you saw on my communicator is Lance Boil, he used to be one of us, until he got greedy and was kicked out. An accident with a shrinking ray he had developed shrank his body, but somehow inflated his head. He's sworn revenge against us ever since. He's flooded the school with cookies laced with some sort of chemical that mutates anyone who eats it. That's what happened to all the other students."
"I see" Naomi looked thoughtful "But why go to all that trouble?"
"I don't know" Abby admitted. "But knowing Boil, he won't stop at just this school. He's probably going to use this as a staging ground for some sort of citywide domination plan."
"So, how do we stop him?" Naomi asked.
"We?" Abby repeated, throwing Naomi a 'you're kidding' look. "I'll stop him, you need to stay here" She moved to pick up the flask from inside the pipe, but Naomi grabbed her wrist.
"I don't think so" She said, looking angry.
"Look, Boil's captured my two partners, I don't have time to argue with you" Abby tried to shrug off Naomi's arm, but the blonde girl held fast.
"Then don't. Let me help you, two of us have a better chance than one" She argued
"But you're not an agent. I can't risk putting you in danger" Abby countered.
"I'll be in danger if I stay here by myself" Naomi fired back, crossing her arms. "In fact, I think I'll be safer with you"
Abby opened her mouth to argue further, but stopped. Naomi had a point. Abby struggled to come up with another argument
"Besides" Naomi continued. "I saved you from that guy" Naomi nodded towards the unconscious mutant on the floor. "You owe me"
Abby couldn't argue with that. Finally she groaned. "Fine, you can help, but you need to do everything I say with no hesitations. Got it?"
Naomi nodded, looking nervous, but determined. Abby reached down and picked up the flask, which was undamaged.
"What's that?" Naomi asked
"The antidote" Abby explained, "Lab Rat made it just before he was captured."
"Lab Rat?" Naomi raised an eyebrow. Abby gritted her teeth. What was it about Naomi that was causing her to say so much?
"It's the nickname of one of my partners"
"And what do I call you?" Naomi pressed.
"Nothing" Abby replied her tone hardening. "And as for what I've told you, say nothing to no one, or there will be consequences once this is over, got it?"
"Right" Naomi replied as they headed for the door.
Abby eased the door open and glanced down the hall. "Clear" She turned to find that Naomi had pulled the up her hood. Abby rolled her eyes and darted out the doorway.
The two girls crept down the hallway, eyes and ears alert for any presence of the mutated students. As they rounded a corner, Abby glanced at Naomi. The blonde girl move along silently beside her, her body taught, her feet stepping softly, a determined glint in her eyes. Abby was impressed. Anyone would think that she was a secret agent, by the way she moved. This, combined with her combat skills, made Abby wonder.
Abby suddenly froze as they passed a classroom door. A mutant was turning the corridor ahead. Naomi yanked open the door and they darted inside, softly closing it behind them. They waited with baited breath as the mutant passed by, not noticing them. Abby made to open the door, but froze when she heard another growl from behind the door. Peeking through the crack, she saw that three other mutants had joined the first one in the hallway.
"So what's the plan?" Naomi whispered, "Do we try to cure the other students or take Lance Boil down first?"
"I"ll handle Boil myself" Abby said, raising her hand as Naomi opened her mouth to argue. "I know that you want to help, but you haven't dealt with Boil before. I have, I know how slippery he can be." Naomi rolled her eyes, but mid-roll, her eyes froze, and a look of realization slowly spread across her face.
"What?" Abby asked as Naomi looked at her and smiled.
"I think I have an idea" Naomi replied, glancing back up at the ceiling.
Abby followed her gaze, but all she saw was the ceiling tiles and the lights and the fire sprinklers. Wait a minute! Abby smiled. "The sprinklers" Abby realized.
Naomi nodded. "We pour the antidote into the sprinkler system, pull the fire alarm, and..."
"Antidote showers for everyone!" Abby's grin widened. "Smart thinking"
Naomi's face slightly reddened. "All we need to do is find the sprinkler system tank"
"Give me a second." Abby pulled out her communicator and quickly pulled up a blueprint of the school. Giving it a quick scan, she soon found what she was looking for. "The tanks are on the roof" She groaned.
"Don't worry about it" Naomi reassured her, holding her hand. "Leave that to me, you focus of taking down Boil"
"You sure you can handle it?" Abby cautioned, giving Naomi the antidote flask. "You won't get a second chance at this. Lance won;t be taken by surprise twice".
"I'm sure." Naomi replied, carefully placing the flask in her backpack. "Just give me half an hour before you pull the fire alarm."
Abby nodded. Suddenly, the door to the classroom burst open. Both girls jumped backwards as a mutant girl with tentacles for arms surged in, moaning, her yellow eyes locked on the both of them. Naomi paled but Abby raised her goop shooter and fired. A stream of green liquid shot out of the device and pinned the mutant to the wall, cocooning her.
"Wow" Naomi looked amazed.
"I know" Abby nodded. "Let's move before others show up" Naomi nodded, following her outside. The other mutants had moved on, for now.
"Good luck" The girls said to each other before splitting up and heading different directions. Naomi crept towards the doors that lead towards the roof, the antidote flask in her backpack, while Abby crept towards the gymnasium, goop shooter at the ready.
