Teacon: Okay, okay, I gave in and told you who the new enemy is. If you tell anyone, I am going to freak. For real, this time… o_0 XD

Crazyllamapersonlol: Well, Op. Blackout is SUPPOSED to be a new mission, but it was rescheduled from June 2011 to some later unknown date, according to the site I got that info from.

Ebony-Inke-of-Hearts: :D Isn't Op. Blackout such a good lead for a story? And LOL, don't die yet, at least until you read this :3

Special thanks to Ebony who offered to help me with this chapter! *head-desk * This chapter was stressing to write…

Chapter 2

The Search

A thundering crash echoed through the entire Command Room, and before I knew it, everything went dark. I sat rigid in my seat. This is crazy! Another blackout?

During the last power outage, Agent Skyrus had vanished without a trace. Winter was closest to the door, completely vulnerable in her confusion, and therefore in the perfect state of being kidnapped.

As quick as it had started, the office was once again, bright with light. I jumped up.

"Winter?"

"Winter!"

My worst fears were confirmed; the agent had disappeared as well.

First her and then Skyrus…

I turned to G, who was already standing up and straightening his tie. He looked indifferent and barely glanced at me, but I immediately knew I had permission to go.

Grabbing my pack from the table and checking to make sure I still had my Spy Phone, I darted out of the office, to find the Command Room in worse condition than it had been in before.

A large dent in the wall, seemingly made by some massive creature of immense force; the ruined gadgets had doubled since the first blackout; the large screen in the middle of the Command Room was blank; there were unpleasant static noises from the speakers of the intercom; the conference table, overturned on the floor with papers and various tools of all kinds spilling out from under it – there must have been some sort of meeting going on when the blackout occurred.

I was about to go and help fix things up when G came. "Get to work, Agent," he stated quietly. The mission coordinator pulled out his phone and showed me a small red light – a signal – ; it blinked as it traveled swiftly through what seemed like a digital forest.

I looked at G curiously, and he responded with a simple "Time is running out". I thought about Winter the always enthusiastic agent, captured by goodness-knows-who, maybe with Skyrus, my partner. I nodded and rushed out of the Command Room, alert and on the hunt.

I was a little way from the Everyday Phoning Facility when I spotted the tracks. I didn't notice them at first; the trodden-down snow had concealed them. Now that I was walking in a rarely visited wood, the tracks showed up quite plainly. At close inspection, I found out they were made by the wheels of a mine cart. Two mine carts, to be exact.

What in the world? Who would haul two mine carts all the way up here? I thought, stunned. The Mine was almost half a mile away from where I was standing.

The trail was leading uphill now, but stopped abruptly at a small cliff. What on earth?

I managed to climb atop the cliff.

"Thank goodness that's over – whoa!" The ground suddenly disappeared beneath my feet, and the next thing I knew, I was lying, stunned, in a hollow of snow. When everything came back into focus, I clambered out immediately, all the while muttering vengeance. Then I paused and looked back,

I slid back down to survey the "hollow". At close inspection, I realized it wasn't a hollow at all; it was the indent of a Spy Phone's telefield. In other words, somebody had opened a teleportation field there.

Somebody huge. The indent was nearly fifty feet across, and almost twice as wide. My first thought was, I have to report back.

I was reaching upwards, ready to pull myself back out, when I heard a soft scuffing sound. My foot had unearthed an object in the snow. Kneeling down, I picked up a small pair of black shades.

Winter's shades.

A piece of rolled-up paper had been pinned to the arm. I quickly untied it and opened it to find a note.

You silly agent.

For years I have been vanquished and squandered by you fowl fools.

I had made numerous inventions. Every single one of them had been destroyed by your agencies.

My plots were proved failures as I was captured over and over again.

However, after years of planning, I have succeeded in disrupting the PSA and sending it to its doom.

You Elite Penguin Fools will be next.

Give it up, Agent; I have a new ally. Much stronger than even me. We will be invincible together.

In the end, you penguins will never see the light of day again! MWAHAHAHAHA!

Yes, I know, this chapter is shorter than average. :/

Last sentence (In the end, you penguins will never see the light of day again, ya da ya da,) was partially copied from the actual Op. Blackout script…
