Gadget arrived at the airforce base and went into the troops' lounge room.
"I'm Inspector Gadget of the Metro City Police Department." Gadget said "I heard about some missing jets and I am hear to investigate what happened to them."
BACK AT MAD HQ...
Dr. Claw had been watching Gadget at the solider lounge. He saw a solider coming to some sort of arcade game, which suddenly brainwashed the man.
"Excellent." Claw saw the man "You are under my power. Do you understand?"
The brainwashed soldier nodded.
"Good." Claw said to his new puppet "You must bring your plane to me."
Gadget went to the brainwashed soldier. "Excuse me?"
"I hear and obey." The soldier started walking like a zombie.
"But I didn't say anything." Gadget called out to the man, who kept walking.
"I hear and obey." The soldier went into a jet and flew it into the air.
"He's stolen that jet!" Gadget gasped "Either he's working for MAD or there's something weird going on here."
Gadget went back to the lounge and saw the arcade game the man was playing earlier.
"Whatever happened to that man, it must have something to do with this." Gadget looked at the arcade game.
"Come on Gadget!" Claw shouted to his monitor "Touch it and you'll be under my power! Mwa ha ha ha ha!"
"Looks kind of weird for a video game." Gadget observed the game.
"Just one touch of that button Gadget, and you'll be under my spell." Claw shouted.
"I don't play video games, but I think this is no ordinary game." Gadget kept observing the game.
"PRESS THE BUTTON!" Claw shouted.
Just then, a siren rang and all the troops ran out of the lounge and ran over Gadget.
"Boy, they're in a hurry." Gadget said.
Just then, a man in a general's outift arrived.
"Are you Inspector Gadget?" The man asked.
"Yes, I am." Gadget answered "Why do you ask?"
"Come with me," Said the man "They're after that stolen jet!"
While Gadget was following the General, many fighter pilots were chasing after the stolen plane. However, many MAD jets had outnumbered the jets and the jets flew back to the base.
Back in the airforce base prison, Brain was still in the jail cell.
"Brain!" Penny ran to him.
"Ruff!" Brain barked happily.
"Stand back." Penny used her watch to shoot a laser beam at the bars and Brain was freed.
"Ruff ruff!" Brain ran to Penny and hugged her.
"Oh Brain, I was so worried." Penny started kissing Brain's entire face "Come on! We have to figure out about the stolen jets."
Meanwhile, Gadget met the General back at the runway.
"I'm General William Crazy." the General shook Gadget's hand "You can call me, 'Wild Bill'. I need your help."
"Hmmm." Gadget walked to a control panel and saw a radar "You're tracking the stolen jet by radar. Good idea."
While Gadget observed, the man looking at the radar turned to Wild Bill.
"General, we've lost contact with the stolen jet." the man said to Wild Bill.
"No doubt the work of MAD." Gadget said.
"Mad?" Wild Bill asked "Of course I'm mad! My men have stolen my own jets!"
"No Wild Bill," Gadget said "MAD is an evil crime syndicate run by the nefarious, Dr. Claw. I got a tip that he has something to do with these stolen planes."
"Go stop this Claw person boy!" Wild Bill ordered.
"Don't worry Wild Bill, Inspector Gadget is always on duty." Gadget told Wild Bill.
"You're a good man." Wild Bill squeezed Gadget's hand which caused a laser to shoot from his finger.
Gadget went back to the lounge to search for clues.
"Whenth jet was stolen, it happened when I was in this lounge." Gadget said "It might help provide some clues. Go go gadget, camouflage."
Gadget pressed a button on his coat and he turned invisible. He snuck into the lounge room and hid against the wall.
Just then, two pilots came into the room.
"I can't believe we lost the jet." said the first pilot.
"I know," Said the second one "Maybe a game of Dodge the Claw will keep my mind off of things."
The pilots started playing the arcade game when all of a sudden, some kind of beam shot and they were instantly brainwashed.
"We hear and obey." They chanted "We hear and obey."
"So that's it!" Gadget deactivated his camouflage as soon as the pilots left "MAD was using that game to hypnotize the pilots. I suspected they were behind that. Now I gotta find out where the jet is going."
Meanwhile, Penny and Brain were looking for clues.
"Find any clues Brain?" Penny asked Brain.
"Ruff, ruff" Brain shook his head.
Just then, Penny saw the brainwashed pilot making his way towards the jet.
"Oh no!" Penny said "That poor man has been taken over! We've got to figure out where he's going with that jet."
Penny and Brain snuck onboard the plane and hid behind the driver's chair. A little bit later, the pilot came and started the jet.
Just then, Gadget saw the plane take off "Wowsers! The plane! I've gotta get it back! Go go gadget power skates!"
Gadget's feet turned into rocket skates and he zoomed to the plane.
"Stop!" Gadget shouted "This is police! Surrender at once! Okay if that's how you want it, GO GO GADGET ARMS!"
Gadget's arms extended and he grabbed the wing of the plane. He was carried into the sky with the plane.
"Now, I can recover the planes." Gadget said.
Author's Note:
Gadget has grabbed onto the plane and he's on his way to where the brainwashed pilots are taking them. Now, he must figure out what's going on! Stay tuned to find out!
