Days have passed, and Max, Goofy and the others have done their training. Mr. U walked over to them with another man beside him.
"Greetings." The man said. "You're ready."
"Oh...good..." May panted, fanning her face. "I'm sweating like a pig."
"Lady, Gentlemen, this is Jack Hills. He's a scientist here." Mr. U introduced Jack.
"Hey!" Max greeted, and held out a hand for a handshake. "Nice to meet you."
Jack shooked his hand. "Nice to meet you too. Shall we get your gadgets?"
"Ooooohhhh yes!" Bobby howled.
"Whatever." Bradley mumbled.
Jack motioned the others to follow him. They got to a table where the gadgets were. Max noticed a hair dryer. "Um, a hair dryer?"
"Not just any hair dryer." Jack smiled, picked up the hair dryer and handed it to Max. "This can blow out powerful gusts of wind."
"Seriously?" Max attempted to press the trigger when Jack stopped him.
He shook his head. "Um, try that OUTSIDE."
"Ha...riiight." Max nodded. "Gotcha."
Bobby's eyes widened at a canned cheese. He picked it up. "Noooo way!"
"Careful, that cheese is-"
Bobby sprayed the can of cheese into his hand, and tried putting it in his mouth, but it ended up getting stuck to it. "Oh..."
"...Super sticky." Jack sighed, picked up a nail filer , and handed it to May. "This is a laser nail filer. Useful for escaping from traps...or opening locks."
May examined it, looking impressed. "Nice..."
"Hey guys! A-hyuck! Look at me!" Goofy yelled, wearing shoes that made him bounce high up to the ceiling and back down.
"And those are springy shoes." Jack watched him along with Max, May, Bradley and PJ.
"How do you stop this?!" He hollered. Bradley stifled a snicker.
"Just press the button on the-" Jack was cut off when Goofy crashed into another table.
"Dad!" Max and Bobby dashed over to him. "You alright?!"
"Yeeaa..." Goofy rubbed his throbbing head, which was kind of in pain.
"Hey, Max, check this out!" PJ put down a couple of coins on the table and stepped back as far as possible. Then he wore some black gloves and raised them forward to the table. Suddenly, coins starts flying towards him, sticking to his gloves.
"That's so cool!" Max looked amazed. "Those gloves must be magnetic."
Noooooo, really? Bradley thought sarcastically, tossing 3 small gray balls up and down. He accidentally dropped one, and it landed on the floor, smoke exploding out of it. Bradley coughed. "Ack!"
While Jack was distracted, Max turned on the hair dryer, sending powerful gusts of wind to clear the smoke...however, when he turned it off, the group noticed Bradley was blowned away to a wall, his hair messed up. Max, PJ and May tried to hold in their laughter.
"Very funny, Sophomore." Bradley seethed, standing up and fixing his hair.
"Funny? I thought it was hilarious." Max laughed.
"Alright, let's get you some transportation shall we?" Jack clasped his hands together, trying to avoid an fight happening. "You have a date with destiny!"
"Date...?" Max eyes widened, remembering something. "Oh no...nononono..." He spun around, shaking PJ's shoulders. "We were supposed to be at the movies with our dates right now!"
PJ's face paled. "Oooh...that's not good..."
Bradley smirked behind their backs. Ooooh, that's too good...
"We should call them, bro." Bobby suggested.
"And tell them we're on a secret mission? They won't believe us! We have to make a legitimate excuse." Max panicked.
"Ya can't lie to Roxanne again, Maxie..." Goofy shook his head.
"But she'll think I'm crazy!"
"Please, Maxie?" Goofy pleaded.
Max sighed in defeat. "Fine. You guys have a telephone? I need to make a call before I go..."
Jack was about to say no, when he stopped himself. "Sure, the phone's near a computer. The rest of you, follow me." Jack motioned the group to a garage while Max strided over to the telephone and started dialing Roxanne's number. He waited for Roxanne to answer.
"Hello?" A voice answered.
Roxanne. He thought. "Uh, hey, it's, um, Max." He choked out.
"Max!" Roxanne's voice sounded upset. "Where have you been?! Me, Stace, and Mocha have been waiting for you at the ticket booth hours ago!"
"Look, Roxanne, I'm sorry, but..." He sighed. "...Something had happened to not only me, but to Bobby and PJ. Especially my dad." He didn't dare mention May, he thought that she would think that he would be ditching her over May.
"Oh? Like what?" She sounded a bit irritated.
"You see..." Max put together a truth and a lie. "...My dad is on a business trip around the world, and he forced us to come along...I never really wanted to go, Roxanne, I wanted to go with you to the movies."
There was silence at the end of the line. He thought that she didn't take in the excuse.
"Oh, I see...I understand, Max." Her voice sounded happy again. "Where are you now?"
"Peru. Well, we're leaving Peru right now." He answered. "I'm not sure where we're going next." He chuckled nervously.
Roxanne giggled. "Well, when you come back to Spoonerville...bring back something for me?"
"Yeah! Sure." Max agreed.
"Oh! Gotta go. I'll see you when you get back, Max." She said.
"Okay, and, Roxanne?" He said.
"Yeah?"
"I love you." He cooed, blushing.
"...I love you too, Max. Bye!" She hung up. Max put the phone down and gave the biggest sigh of relief.
"Maxie! C'mon, let's go!" Goofy shouted from afar. Max smiled and dashed over, following him into the garage. Max was amazed at the large green Jeep. When he got in, he noticed that all the seats were taken... except for one...right beside Bradley. Max scowled, taking a seat right beside him. Bradley shifted away from him as the two glared daggers at each other.
Goofy got in the driver's seat. "Okie dokie! Bobby will be our navigator." He tossed a tracking device to Bobby, who catched it.
"Oookay...let's see..." Bobby started tapping on a few buttons. "...The first piece is in...the Amazon Rainforest. In Brazil."
"Alrighty, Brazil it is!" Goofy started the engine, and drove out of the garage, heading outside.
"Good luck!" Jack waved.
It was a long drive to Brazil, but they eventually got there, and they were only a few miles away of reaching to the Amazon Forest.
The drive was pretty silent, minus Bradley's light snoring. Max chuckled at him. "Aww, how cute, Brad's asleep."
PJ and May looked over, and started to snicker.
"And drooling on his sweater." PJ pointed out.
"Should have brought a camera with me...so I can record this and show it to the student body." Max grinned.
"Son, that's a little harsh..." Goofy shook his head, not taking his eyes off the road.
"I was just kidding." Max said. Not."Oh... a-hyuck!" Goofy chuckled.
"Duuuu-uuudes, we're here!" Bobby exclaimed, pointing at the Rainforest.
"Finally..." May sighed, removing her headphones.
The Jeep entered the rainforest. The 5 were amazed at the trees, the animals, and the tropical birds flying all over the place.
The tracking device vibrated in Bobby's hands. Bobby looked down and noticed the red dot on the screen became green.
"Stop here!" He said, and Goofy pressed on the brakes, pulling to a stop near the tallest tree they had never seen.
"Is this where the first piece is?" PJ asked, looking up at the tree through a window. "How are we gonna get it?"
"Well, we don't have a harness." May said. "Let alone a ladder-"
Suddenly, Goofy accidentally pressed a button with his elbow, and a ladder popped out from the top of the jeep, stretching high to the top.
"...Oh." May looked surprised. "I guess this ride is more than just a jeep."
"Well, yeah, what did you expect?" PJ raised an eyebrow. "It's some type of spy car."
"Anyway...who wants to climb?" Max asked. Then there was silence, and everyone (except Bradley, who is still sleeping) turned to Bobby.
"What?" Bobby looked puzzled, then got the idea after a few seconds. "Why moi?"
"You did do rock climbing back in the X-Games." May said.
"Yeeaah, but this is different!" Bobby exclaimed.
"Please, Bob?" Max pleaded.
Bobby sighed in defeat. "Fine, but you owe me, dude." He got out of the Jeep, and climbed on top of it. Then he started climbing up the ladder. When he got to the top, he felt the device vibrating in his pocket like crazy. He glanced at a piece of a clock, which was sitting on a bird's nest. Luckily the bird wasn't home yet, so he grabbed the piece and started to climb down, when an arrow was shot and pinned Bobby's shirt sleeve to the tree.
"W-what the-?!" He gasped. Another arrow was shot, and this time he dodged it, but unfortunately, he stumbled back, falling off of the ladder.
Goofy and the others noticed someone crash landed on a bush.
"Bobby!" Max called, getting out of the vehicle and running over to him. "Bobby! Are you alright?!"
Bobby adjusted his glasses and held the piece of the clock in the air. "Yeah, man. The bush broke my fall...by the way, you still owe me." He got off the bush, dusting the leaves off of him.
Max's chuckle was cut short when a few other arrows were shot towards them.
"Duck!" Max shouted, and they ducked. "Come on, let's get out of here!"
They hopped back into the Jeep, as more arrows were shooting at them.
"Dad, drive!" Max panicked, and Goofy started to drive off at full speed. From the rearview, he could see two vehicles following them and throwing bombs at them. They dodged each one, hearing and witnessing explosions through the window. They were close to getting out of the rainforest, but there was an ocean ahead.
"Shootshootshoot..dead end!" PJ shouted, enough to jolt Bradley awake.
"What the-?!" Bradley quickly rubbed his eyes and straightened up on his seat. "What's going on?!"
Another bomb went off, the Jeep dodging it aggressively.
"We're gonna die!" PJ shrieked.
"We're what?" Bradley's eyes widened in fear.
"Dad, do something!" Max panicked. "Press another button!"
Goofy looked at all the buttons, which were the same color. He couldn't choose the right one.
"Time is running out, Mr. G...!" May looked anxious.
"I don't know which button!" Goofy hesitated, hovering his finger over the buttons.
"PRESS ANY BUTTON FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!" Bradley snarled, which startled Goofy, making him press a button. Suddenly, the Jeep shifted into a jet, and it took off, hovering over the ocean and into the sky.
Max and the others looked out the window, noticing the two vehicles pulled to a stop as soon as they reached the end of the surface.
"Woo-hoo!" Everyone cheered, except Bradley, who gave a sigh of relief, a small smile crawling up on his face. He looked around to see that there was more than 6 seats, and realized he didn't need to sit beside Max anymore, so he immediately got up and sat at the end of the row of seats, opening a magazine and started to read. Ah. All better now...
"One down, more to go...what's the next stop, Bob?" Max asked.
"...Antarctica." Bobby announced. "That place is coooold."
"But not as cold as the ice king here." PJ whispered to May and secretly pointed over at Bradley.
"You got that right." May giggled.
Ice King? Is that the best he's got? ...I'm not that cold... "I heard that." Bradley rolled his eyes. My uncle is nuts. Putting me in a group of SOPHOMORES...along with the loon old man. Ugh, please let this all be over...
When they got to Antarctica, Goofy, Max, Bobby, PJ and May putted on the appropriate clothing for winter before heading outside: Warm jackets, gloves, boots, etc.
May noticed Bradley was sitting back, sipping coffee and reading a book.
"Um, aren't you coming?" May asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No." Bradley replied plainly, not even looking at her. "So deal with it."
May was about to say something when PJ put a hand on her shoulder.
"No." PJ shook his head. "Don't waste your breath."
May looked at PJ's hand and then at his face. She sighed. "You're right."
The two headed out, following the others and leaving Bradley behind. Soon, the 5 started to search for the second piece of the clock.
"Are we there yet?" PJ asked Bobby.
"Nope." Bobby said.
5 minutes have passed. "How about now?" PJ asked.
"Nope." Bobby answered.
It seemed like every 5 minutes PJ would ask the same question.
"Peej, if you don't be quiet...I'll spray that can of sticky cheese to zip your mouth." Bobby groaned.
"Sorry, man." PJ gave a nervous chuckle. "I'm just bored...and tired-"
"Found it!" Bobby stopped in his pace, noticing the red dot on the screen became green.
"In the snow?" PJ started digging the snow with his gloves. Everyone pitched in and helped until they saw something shiny.
Max took it out, and it was the next piece of the clock.
"EUREKA!" Goofy shouted, doing a happy dance. Suddenly, the ground started shaking.
"Oh...this can't be good..." Bobby looked worried.
"AVALANCHE!" May screamed, pointing at the avalanche that's coming for them. Goofy and the boys screamed and started running down the hill as fast as they can.
They noticed a few pieces of cardboard laying on the snow, and they used it as snowboards, surfing down the hill and going into the cave.
"Everyone alright...?" Max asked, stepping off of the cardboard.
"Yeah." They chorused.
"Well, there goes our way out." Bobby sighed, pointing at the huge pile of snow that blocked the entrance of the cave.
"Greeeeeaaat..." PJ rolled his eyes. "So now what?"
"We find another way out." Max decided, starting to explore the cave. The group followed him.
"Gawrsh, this place shore is dark..." Goofy said.
They kept on walking until they saw an opening that lead outside, but it was at the ceiling of the cave, and below them were ice shards that pointed upwards like knives.
"This is hopeless..." Max muttered, sitting on a rock. "We're never getting out of here."
Bobby hated it when Max gave up. He knew there was always hope. "Come on, Maximilian, there has to be a way to get up there without falling to our deaths..."
"How can there be?" Max shot a upset look at Bobby. "Nobody's ever coming for us! This is all my fault, I never should have agreed to do this...mission!"
"Son, it ain't your fault..." Goofy knelt down and put a hand on Max's shoulder.
Max looked up at Goofy. "You're right...it's not my fault..." His upset expression changed into anger and he removed his hand. "It's all your fault!"
Goofy jumped back in surprise.
"If you had just kept your voice low we wouldn't be in this mess!" Max growled as Goofy looked sorrowful. "And now, we're stuck in this place for the rest of our lives! ALL BECAUSE OF YOU!"
"Max!" May got in between him and Goofy. "Blaming others isn't going to get us anywhere!"
"Maylin's right, Max." Bobby nodded. "What matters now, is finding a way to leave this place."
Max calmed down, and realized what he had done. "I...I'm so sorry, dad. I never should have yelled at you...ugh...it's just..."
"It's fine, Maxie." Goofy cut him off, giving him a smile. Then he looked through his pocket. "Somethin' in there is making me feel uncomfortable..." He took out a broken walkie-talkie.
"A walkie-talkie?" Bobby happily took it.
"But it's broken..." PJ sighed.
Bobby examined it. "No, man, actually...it still works!" He grinned.
That's when Max got an idea. "Guys! Brad's back at the jet...maybe if we can contact him..."
PJ looked at him with disbelief. "Max, do you really think Bradley's gonna help us? Do you remember what he did to Tank and you? He left you guys to die!"
"Maybe so, but he's our only hope." Max looked down.
"And what if he doesn't listen to us?" May raised an eyebrow.
"He won't listen to us..." Max handed May the walkie-talkie. "But he'll listen to you."
