WOOHP MAXIMUM SECURITY PRISON – 3:39 PM

A tall building with lots of windows. Don't be fooled – it is a penitentiary. Inside: the first level is mostly an atrium with the almost amber-colored floor having the WOOHP logo in a ring. MIB are walking in different directions to get to/exiting from various rooms on the first floor, as well as taking/exiting the elevator or stairs. A woman, wearing a long brown trench coat going down her ankles and a matching fedora concealing her face, enters by walking through the revolving door. She walks up to the man at the desk, wearing a baseball cap with a big, yellow 'W' on the front. The woman says in a high, shrill voice that sounds like nails scratching on glass,

"Hello."

"Yes?" The man at the desk asks politely. "How can I help you?"

"I'm here to see someone." The woman responds. She grins, showing her fangs. "An old friend of mine."

"No problem." Said the man at the desk. "I just need your name so that whoever you're visiting knows who it is."

The 'Woman' answers, "Barbara Bastella."

A MIB walking past them notices that "Barbara" has no shoes on - just brown, clawed feet. This was an indication to him that the visitor wasn't human.

"Ooh, European." The man at desk responds, sounding fascinated. "All righty then. Now I just need to know the name of the prisoner you're visiting before I give you a visitor's pass."

Barbara opens her mouth but before she could say a word, a MIB points a Taser gun at her and says,

"Hold it, ma'am! Stay right where you are!"

The man at the desk is slightly confused. "What's going on?" he asks.

"This." The WOOHP MIB swipes the fedora off of Barbara's head to reveal that she's the bat-human creature created by Derek. Everyone in the atrium gasps. "You see? This woman isn't human."

Barbara chuckles quietly, then says with a smirk, "Not entirely."

Barbara takes off her coat and spreads her wings. She is still wearing the same black mini-dress from "Operation: Pet Peeved". She glances around as various WOOHP agents surround her, some with Taser guns pointed at her. The "bat-lady" just smiles and chuckles.

"You've got nowhere to run… or fly!" The WOOHP MIB says to the mutant. He orders, "Now put your wings down and we'll take you in peacefully."

Barbara retorts, "Not a chance."

Barbara tilts her head up and lets out a high-pitched screech. It is so loud, that it shatters the windows and glass of the screen door and everyone on the first and second floor of the building cover their ears in pain. "Koala-man" and the half man, half boar burst in, running on all fours. They attack the agents, who are still disoriented from the sonic shriek, without hesitation. The "man-boar" charges at them like a bull; "Koala-man" roars fiercely while he grabs, throws, smacks, and body slams them; Barbara smacks and scratches them with her wings and claws. Soon, everyone in the atrium is down.

BASEMENT FLOOR – DETENTION AREA

A long, wide hallway with prison cells left and right. One of those has Derek, still in his half human/dog form, sleeping on the floor and snoring. His former 'pets' walk up to the front of his cellblock seeing him dosing off. They find their former master panting, whimpering, rolling on his back, and kicking his hind legs in his slumber.

"Do you want a belly rub? Or a scratch behind the ears?" The Koala-man mockingly says to his mutated previous owner. Derek opens his eyes and his ears perk up to the sound. He gets up on his two feet (uh, I mean "paws") and sees at the front of his cell his mutated pets.

"What are you guys doing here?" He said, surprised. "I'm sure it's not to say 'hello'."

"Well, he wanted to," Koala-man says, then points to the Man-boar, who nods and grunts.

"Wait a minute. That means…" Derek gasps excitedly. "You came to free me, did you?"

Koala-man angrily slams his fist at the bars and shouts, "NO!" Derek quickly backs up into the wall and gets on all fours in a submissive stance: his ears folded back, shaking, whimpering.

"We have not forgiven you for making us into…" He looks at his paws that almost look humanlike now and gets even more enraged. "…this."

"We were fine just the way we were!" Barbara Bastella adds.

Derek, now more relaxed, convincingly says to them, "Oh, come on dudes."

Barbara Bastella gives Derek a raspy hiss; he responds with a yelp. He is taken aback for a second but quickly regains his composure.

"…and dudette." Derek walks back up to the front of the cage on all fours. "I thought you all would at least be happy. I made you better than you wanted to be or ever could. You get to do anything, go anywhere, without any restraints from your natural forms." He gets on two legs and grabs onto the bars with his paws. "You're free."

Koala-man points out the irony to his creator. "And yet, you're in a cage."

Derek frowns and his ears droop at that realization.

"You deserve to be in there as punishment for what you did to us. But what you did to yourself… it gave us an idea."

"It did?" Derek is confused, but slowly lights up when he grasps the meaning. "I did?

Koala-man punches Derek hard into the wall of his prison cell. Derek gets back up, shaking and rubbing his head. He notices that his pets are gone.
