GO GO GADGET EPISODE!
PREVIOUSLY ON INSPECTOR GADGET...
Our protagonist, Inspector Gadget and his partners, Jorge Cruz and Ivan Lee had been sent on a case to arrest a criminal who escaped to a remote location called "Volcano Island". This crook had been working with Gadget's old nemesis, Fiona DuBois on stealing an ancient sarcophagus containing something known as "The Dark Entity", which could destroy all life as we know it.
But naturally, in his pride, the inspector himself figured he could save the day all on his own and that did not turn out so well. Now, Gadget, Jorge and Ivan must retrieve three enchanted diamonds to counteract the ever-growing void, which is going wipe out the universe. With their new allies, Mantis, Kantrop and their three animals by their sides, our heroes set off on their biggest adventure yet.
Our story does not open up with our protagonists, but it opens up in the lair of the evil, Zorbad, the person who was corrupted by the Dark Entity and his minions; Carlotta, his bitter assistant, obliged to serve him after he saved her life, General Clark, an irritable member of the tribe who gained a scar on his eye after a spear accident and Thud, a muscular brute with the intellect and personality of a lost sock. Led by Zorbad, these three felons were sealed away when the Dark Entity was defeated. Now that they were released, they could finish what they started.
"Finally, the time has come, my henchmen" Zorbad said to his minions "Now that we've released from our prison, we can finish what we've started. The void has been ripped in the dimensional fabric of time and space. Now, it is just a matter of time before the universe reaches its demise!"
"You got it, boss" Thud saluted "First, you erase the whole universe and then you rebuild it in your own glory. Is that right?"
"Of course it is right, you fool!" General Clark snapped "Only we will be sparred! We've been trapped in that sarcophagus for thousands of years!"
"Well excuse me for trying to remember, it's been a while since I've seen the outside world" said Thud.
"Enough!" Carlotta snapped "The master is going to end the universe! End of story!"
"Thank you, Carlotta" said Zorbad "That's why you're my best minion. You two could learn a thing or two from her"
"Yeah, but I just got an FYI for you, sir" Carlotta pointed out "Apparently, there's some meddling involved in our little scheme; two members of the tribe and three men from the mainland have set off the find the enchanted diamonds that could defeat us"
"Interesting..." said Zorbad "We must put a stop to this or our plans will fail again"
"Say no more, your darkness" said Thud "I shall take care of those intruders! I will give them a taste of my uh...uh..."
"Fists" Clark deadpanned.
"Very well, Thud" said Zorbad "Go and clobber those heroes! They must be stopped at once! Do not fail me!"
"Don't worry boss, you can count on me!" Thud said before walking out "Uh...which way is the exit?"
"Over there" Carlotta pointed to the left.
"Thank you" Thud said as he walked out the lair.
Carlotta turned to Clark "Uh...maybe you should go with him. He could use some assistance"
"Yes, I think he could" Clark sighed as he followed Thud out of the lair.
Now that that's taken care of, we cut to Inspector Gadget's neighborhood, where we see him, Jorge, Ivan, Mantis and Kantrop heading towards the secret entrance to W.O.M.P Headquarters.
"Okay privates, time to begin our primary mission" Gadget proclaimed before inserting a coin into the secret entrance to WOMP "Phase one; get to HQ and inform the general and colonel about our impending doom!"
Just then, the vending machine opened up and the five entered the secret entrance, which took them to an alleyway with some sort slot and a trash can. Gadget reached into his coat pocket and took out his WOMP card. He inserted it into the slot and the trash can opened up. Our heroes went into the trash can, which led to some sort of secret underground passageway.
"...Phase two; go to the WOMP Labs and get assistance from the scientists" Gadget continued as he unscrewed his finger to light the way through the passageway.
They then ran up a staircase and made it to another entrance, which led to a sliding door, which also led to a regular door, which also led to another underground staircase, which somehow led to the entrance to a wardrobe, which led them to a large safe.
"...phase three; retrieve the gems and save the entire world from doomsday!" Gadget finished as he unlocked the safe, which took them right to W.O.M.P Headquarters.
"Boy, this organization sure has a lot of secret passageways" Ivan remarked.
Inside Colonel Nozzaire's office, the colonel was polishing a crystal bust of himself when all of a sudden, the door slammed open, startling him.
"Hiya Colonel!" exclaimed Gadget.
"AAAHHH!" shouted the colonel "Gadget! What do you think you're doing here?! You nearly ruined my sculpture"
"Sorry to come unannounced, colonel, but may we speak with the general?" asked Gadget "It's somewhat important"
"If it kills me, I won't have to deal with you anymore" Nozzaire mumbled as he walked over to his intercom to call the general "General Sir! Permission for transmission!"
Just then, General Sir's image appeared on Nozzaire's screen "You called, Nozzaire?"
Nozzaire screamed and quickly turned around "General Sir, sir! Inspector Gadget and his uh...associates are here to see you"
"Inspector Gadget and company reporting for duty, sir!" Gadget saluted.
"Gadget, what a coincidence" said General Sir "I was going to call you for a mission"
"A mission?" asked Jorge.
"Indeed, my boy" General Sir nodded "As you may have noticed, a large hole has appeared in the sky and it appears to be getting bigger by the minute. Our scientists have Intel that this is a rip in the space-time continuum and the bigger it gets, it could end all life as we know it"
Gadget nervously chuckled "Well...funny story about that hole in the sky...it's not so much funny as it is disturbing...well, you see..."
ONE NOT SO MUCH FUNNY AS IT IS DISTURBING EXPLANATION LATER...
"...and that's when he come to now" Gadget finished his explanation.
"YOU DID WHAT?!" Nozzaire screamed.
"Mr. My Gizmos Can Solve Anything just released an evil villain intent on destroying the universe!" Mantis bitterly pointed to Gadget "That's what happened!"
"I knew Gadget had something to do with this! I Just knew it!" Nozzaire growled "This time, Gadget, you have gone too far!"
"At ease, colonel" Gadget said in a reassuring, yet fearful manner "We cannot play the Blame Game, what with the world being in danger and all"
"Gadget's right, Nozzaire" said General Sir "He may have caused all of this, but we have to think about what could happen if we don't do anything about it"
"The general's right, guys" Jorge nodded "Think of the people we care about who are in danger: Tyson, Penny, Brain, Bridget, Chief Quimby, Jeanette, Capeman..."
There was much silence for quite a while until everyone finally realized how serious this situation was.
Gadget breathed in and saluted "General Sir, there may be a reason to worry, but I just want you to know...Inspector Gadget is always on duty!"
"And I have a family to protect and as a member of the tribe, it is my duty to do so" Mantis added.
"And Mantis, as your partner, it is my job to assist you" Jorge exclaimed.
"And we're your partners Gadget, so if your niece is in danger, then gosh darn it, our niece is in danger as well!" Ivan proclaimed "Can I get an amen?"
"Dude, you don't have to do that" Jorge remarked.
"Then it's settled" said General Sir "Gadget, you and your allies will retrieve those diamonds and get them back to that island and save the universe"
"You got it, general!" Gadget saluted "Like I said, I'm always on duty!"
"I'd better go as well" said Nozzaire.
"You too, colonel?" asked Gadget.
"Do not think I'm doing this because I want to help you, Gadget" said the colonel "I am doing this to get more respect from the general and to keep a close eye on you"
"Now go see Professor Von Slickstein and Dr. Ganglion in the lab, they'll be sure to provide you with some useful equipment" said the general "Hurry up! There is no time to lose"
"Don't worry, general" said Gadget "Inspector Gadget is-"
"Always on duty, we know" Ivan folded his arms.
Author's Note:
Looks like Inspector Gadget and his allies have started their quest for the enchanted diamonds and it looks like it won't be easy since Zorbad's minions are on the way. Where will they go? And what gives me the distinct feeling we'll be seeing some old faces in this story? Stay tuned!
