Chapter 2: Encryption
Previously, Hopsalot found a blueprint of some invention and decided to make use of it. Will he be able to do so? Find out in this chapter!
The next morning, Hopsalot woke up and looked through the window. "Before I begin, I need to tend to something." He got up and freshen up himself and soon enough, he's at his backyard which has a garden patch on it. "I grow my carrots and other vegetables in my own garden." He got to work as he began watering the garden when to his surprise, he saw Kisha painting outside his house. "Morning Kisha! What are you doing?"
"Morning Hopsalot! Hope you don't mind that I'm painting a picture of your fertile garden! Look at the colours brown and green! They make the painting fertile just like your garden!"
"Good one!" Hopsalot exclaimed as he continued his tending while Kisha continued painting her picture.
Later after tending his garden and having his breakfast, Hopsalot went to get his blueprint and after that, went to his lab.
Inside the lab...
Hopsalot booted up the systems and computer and placed the blueprint on a scanner connected to his computer. While the blueprint is being scanned, "Before I begin, I need to make some phone calls." The rabbit then took out a handphone which is his' and began the calling.
And so...
It cuts to Frankie's house where he is seen burying some bones when a ringing sound was heard. Taking out his handphone, "Hello? Hey Hopsalot what's up? Oh...okay I'll be there!" Ending the call, Frankie buried his bones and headed off.
It now cuts to the Frog Manor where inside, CJ is cleaning some treasure. "Oh yeah. Shiny and valuable is the Golden Clam which houses the Pearl of Oceans." While he was cleaning, his butler, a penguin named McCloud showed up. "Sir, you have a phone call to answer." He was holding CJ's handphone and as the frog took it. "Hello? Hi Hopsalot. Anything?...Really? Sounds interesting. I'll be there!" Ending the call. "McCloud. Keep this place clean and tidy while I go and meet a friend."
"Will do sir." Placing the treasure back to the treasure gallery which was a display cabinet, he left.
Finally, it cuts to Edison's Store where the firefly was managing it when a phone call was sounded and he answered. "Greetings. This is Edison speaking. How may I help you?" Communication took place and, "Very well. I'm on my way." Ending the call, Edison flew out of his store and closed it for today. Once it's done, he flew off right after locking the doors of his store.
Now back at the lab...
"Thanks for coming guys. I got something to show you." Hopsalot lead Frankie, CJ and Edison to his computer in which the scan was finally complete. All looked at the large screen who showed the schematics of the invention's design and this word appeared below in bold and capital letters.
ARMOUR
"I see it now! My great-great-great grandfather's invention is a battle armour! Amazing!" Hopsalot then started the encryption of the data of the armour while the others watched. "I have never seen Hopsalot get all excited." said Edison. "Well let's just say, he's hopping more to it!" said CJ. "Indeed. So what data you encrypted Hopsalot?" asked Frankie. "Just a little more..." Hopsalot was waiting for the encryption and soon enough, the data was revealed on the large computer screen in front of everyone. "Whoa! Some design!" Frankie exclaimed. "So what do we have?" asked CJ. "According to the encryption, the data shows that the armour consists of several parts. They are the Iron Armour Helmet, Active Body Armour, Left Buster Arm, Right Buster Arm, Tech Belt, Left Booster Leg, Right Booster Leg and the Advanced Energy Shield Projector." Hopsalot scientifically explained. "Wow! Sounds high-tech to me!" said CJ. "Exactly!" agreed Hopsalot. "So then, why did call us here?" asked Edison. "Well I'm glad you asked. You see yesterday, I visited my grandpa and he told me the story of this invention my great-great-great grandfather invented and I wanted to find all these pieces of armour and combine them into the prefect battle armour!"
"So it's a family legend or something?" asked Frankie. "Probably. And I need your help to accompany me to collect the pieces." Hopsalot replied. "Sounds like adventure if you ask me. I'm in." declared CJ. "Me too. If my partner wants to go. How can I refuse." agreed Edison. "Alright then. If this invention is so important for you. Fine, I'll pitch in." said Frankie. "Thanks you guys. I'm gonna need all the help I can get." thanked Hopsalot as the screen revealed something. "What's this? A map behind the blueprints?" CJ exclaimed. "Correct. A map was drawn behind the blueprints revealing the locations where each part of the battle armour was sealed. There are 7 locations so far and they are listed as the Cylindrical Research Tower, the Cuboid Factory, the Underwater Spherical Labs, the Metal Pyramid, the Dome Gardens, the Cubic Vault and the Prismatic Storage Facility."
"How interesting. Look at the pictures of the locations." Frankie exclaimed as all looked at the large screen that revealed them. "By golly they are shaped like their structural appearance." Edison exclaimed. "Yep! This should be a piece of cake!" agreed Hopsalot as all continued chatting about but no one noticed that from a window, a robotic drone was stalking at the window and it's robotic eye glowed red as through it's vision, it appears to be scanning what was shown on screen.
And at the same time in an unknown area...
Through a monitor, "So, these all-stars made a technological discovery. Ha! Ha! Ha! Very good. I can't wait to get my hands on all the pieces of the puzzle even if I have no hands and move around slowly." The whole scene zoomed away revealing a dark room which may be an office as the monitor is on and it's the only light source brightening the place a bit dimly. A silhouetted figure was watching the footage on screen from the drone that was deployed and it was the shape of a snail. "Exactly! I am Dr O. The mastermind and genius of all pure evil! Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!" The devious snail laughed menacingly despite his size. "Yes, size does not matter! Brainpower it is!" What? Really? Never mind about that snail who's a bit over his head as, "Soldiers! Get in here!" A flick sound was heard and the lights are on. In front of Dr O is his right hand henchman Stanley who is a rooster and 19 other animals dressed like Stanley and here are their names.
A cow named Sanford, a turkey named Sanders, a horse named Seymour, an opossum named Stevens, an alligator named Shenton, a pit bull named Sheldon, a bear named Spencer, a moose named Shammus, a meerkat named Stefano, a goat named Sneedly, a buffalo named Sawyers, a mole named Shannon, a seal named Sampson, a rhino named Sanchez, a crocodile named Stanton, a wolf named Sherwin, a fox named Stewart, a ram named Stephan and a monkey named Skipper. "I call my 20 henchmen, Super Soldiers! Because all of them even Stanley are excellent fighters and plus, their names start with the letter 'S'. Now listen up!" Dr O commanded as they stood upright in position. "A discovery was made and it is an invention that when pieced together becomes a powerful weapon! We are going to extract all the pieces before the all-stars can even extract one! Understood?" All nodded as, "Stanley! Ready the airship! We've got some work to do starting...

"NOW! AH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"
Now that was pure evil of Dr O as it is his personality just like in the games he's in. So what happens next? Which group will collect the pieces and complete the invention? It's only a matter of time before the race begins in the next chapter! And also, we enter the year 2017 so Happy New Year to all the Fanfction writers as we continue our ideal creativity in this website!
