Soon, all of the potential applicants (save for Camille) were gathered in the main room.
"Thank you all for coming back" Hannibal began "after much deliberation, I've decided to hire all of you."
"Hurray!" Tolinator exclaimed.
"Except for Tolinator" Hannibal replied "sorry, but we have no need for a toilet-themed villain" he said, "and not 'cause yer a klutz, although I will admit that did influence some of the decision. As for the rest of ya, congratulations, I know it seemed like some of you wouldn't get the job, but you were all selected for a very important reason."
"Because you understand that, though we may be weird looking villains, we have great dedication?" Beekeeper asked.
"No, it's because you're the only ones who showed up" Hannibal explained "so welcome to the Bean Brigade, dedicated ta helping me conquer the world."
"A pleasure to be here" Mather added "and may I say, I hope to 'add' to our group's many victories."
"Okay then" Hannibal replied, ignoring him, "let me introduce ya to the other members of our little band. Ya'll know Control Freak & Motor Ed, but there's two others that have been hanging around here."
Into the room came two figures; one a portly African teen with a gaudy costume, the other, an older Caucasian gent in a tuxedo.
"This here's Slipstream & Mad Jack" Hannibal explained "the latter is the reason I ain't floating around in a time vortex no more."
"I ran into Hannibal during one of my many trips through time" Mad Jack explained "we got to talking, and I liked the idea of having a team of super villains to assist me."
"Long story short, we set out ta reform the group" Hannibal added "and now that we're back, it's time ta for ya'll to learn my new evil plan."
He went over to a desk and grabbed a poster, then displayed it to the others; it featured two red headed teenagers with the caption "genius sisters invent perpetual motion machine."
"These are the Test sisters, Susan & Mary" Hannibal explained "they're only thirteen, but as you can see, they're scientific geniuses. I want you ta capture 'em, so I can use their genius ta help me take over the planet."
"What luck!" Beekeeper said, "I've had several run-ins with their brother. He's constantly kicked my bee-hind."
"Good, that means you can head this operation" Hannibal said, "now get going."
"One question bro, how are we supposed to get there, seriously?" Ed asked.
"I'd take you in my Mathmobile, but it only fits a few people" Mather said "and it's in the shop."
"It's too bad I'm not part of your little group" came a familiar voice.
Everyone looked to see Camille nearby, filing her nails. "'Cause I just happen to have a private jet, and if I was a group member, I'd totally be willing to let you guys use it."
"Can't she join boss, please?" CF begged.
"Fine, you're part of the team, for now" Hannibal said "now get to Porkbelly and get me those girls! Oh and Tolinator, get out of here."
As the other villains left towards the jet, Tolinator watched them in rage.
"So they don't think I'm good enough to join their little group huh?" he asked angrily "well I'll show them!"
-----
Soon the jet was loaded and on its' way to Porkbelly.
"This really is a wonderful jet" CF told Camille "almost as wonderful and beautiful as its' owner."
"I hope you're not hitting on me, 'cause I don't go out with nerds" she replied "I only date rich, handsome guys, or the occasionally brooding loner."
"I could be both for you baby" CF replied amorously.
"Ew!" Camille replied, and went off to another part of the jet.
"Hey man, what's going on in the bathroom?" Slipstream asked, "I've got a burrito that's coming up and I need in!"
Suddenly, the door to the bathroom opened and a mysterious figure emerged. "Hah, you guys thought you were going to leave me behind, didn't you?" Tolinator said.
"I thought you were rejected" Mather said, "what are you doing here?"
"I came to prove I can be just as good as any of you" Tolinator replied "then maybe Mr. Bean will let me into the group!"
"Well it's too late to take him back now" Camille replied "I guess he can stay."
"Hurray!"
"But he'd better not touch anything. I don't want his germs all over my stuff."
-----
As the jet flew over the town of Porkbelly, its' denizens had no clue about the evil that would soon be upon them.
In fact, in one house, some major players in this drama were going about their day, unaware of what awaited them.
"Man I'm bored" Johnny Test whined to his dog Dukey.
"There's got to be something we can do" Dukey replied "how about we play video games?"
"Nah."
"Watch TV?"
"Nothing good is on"
"Um… read comics?"
"Read 'em all" Johnny replied "I know, let's see what new cool thing my sisters have invented."
"I don't know Johnny" Dukey said, "every time we mess with one of your sisters' inventions, it always ends up causing havoc and chaos."
"It's better than being bored" Johnny replied.
"Good point."
-----
The two made their way to the secret underground lab owned by Johnny's sisters.
"We're bored" Johnny said upon entering "do you guys have any cool stuff we can play with?"
"No" Susan replied "we make inventions that are designed to help the world, not to be used as toys by immature little kids. Now go away, we're testing our new super bouncy ball."
"If it works, we plan on selling it to the NBA" Mary added.
"Neat, let me try!" Johnny said, grabbing the ball.
"No!" his sisters yelled, but it was too late.
"Johnny's got the ball, he's heading down the court" he said "he shoots, and he scores!"
He tossed the ball, which ricocheted off a piece of equipment then continued to bounce around the lab, knocking things over.
"Um…oops" Johnny replied sheepishly.
Moments later, he and Dukey were shoved out of the lab.
"Jeez, like nobody ever accidentally released a super bouncy ball in their lab before" Johnny said, slightly miffed.
"Come on, let's go outside and play catch" Dukey said, "you don't have to worry about the ball hitting stuff out there. Except people's windows."
"Yeah okay" Johnny said, "I just wish something cool would happen."
-----
"Stupid Johnny" Susan said, as she and Mary cleaned up their lab "why can't he learn to leave our stuff alone?"
"He's a little kid, it's his nature" Mary replied.
"True, plus if he wasn't so curious, we'd never get him to volunteer for our experiments" Susan added.
"Yeah, there's that" Mary replied.
-----
As Dukey & Johnny played catch outside, they noticed a black van pull up next to the house.
"Hey, what's that, a moving van?" Dukey asked.
"I don't know, but I don't trust it" Johnny said "if spy movies have taught me anything, it's that mysterious black vans are always up to no good."
"Come on Johnny, life doesn't work like the movies" Dukey replied "if it did, then stuff would always be exploding."
Nearby, a tree exploded.
"Okay, that was an exception."
Meanwhile, the rear doors of the van opened and CF and Ed set down a large circular device.
"Wonder what that does?" Dukey mused, not noticing the villains taking positions on the other end of the vehicle.
In a few minutes, the device emitted a hologram of Gill, the handsome surfer dude who lived next door to the Tests.
"Something tells me this is not good" Dukey commented.
"I'll say, who'd want a hologram of Gill?" Johnny asked.
"Man, it is a wonderful day" the Gill hologram said "I wish there were two smart genius girls here for me to party with."
"Pfft, that would never…" Johnny said, before he was interrupted by the quick blur that rushed out of his house.
"We're here to party with you Gill" Susan said.
"That's right" Mary added, "we'd do anything for you."
"Hey, who's that cool dude" the real Gill asked from his hedges "he looks kind of familiar."
"Wait a minute. If you're Gill, then who's…" Susan began.
Mary held out her hand towards the other Gill, noticing as it went through. "A hologram" she said "I can't believe we were tricked by a hologram, albeit a very cute one."
"Grab them!" Beekeeper ordered, and before the girls could react, they were snatched by Slipstream & Ed.
"Ha ha ha, not so clever now, are you Test siblings?" he cackled.
"Hey, let my sisters go, you lousy excuse for a villain!" Johnny replied, as he and Dukey rushed to their aid.
"Back off Johnny Test, or face the wrath of my Honey blaster" Beekeeper warned, producing a striped gun with six barrels.
"Ooh, what a scary weapon" Johnny said mockingly "what's it going to do, shoot honey on me?"
An instant later, he and Dukey were covered in honey, courtesy of the weapon.
"I guess you were right" Dukey replied.
"Oh man, Beekeeper's never been this good before" Johnny said, as he struggled to get free of the honey.
"Yeah, I'm impressed" Dukey added.
"Farewell Johnny Test" Beekeeper said, as he got into the van "I won't 'bee' seeing you later" he added, and he cackled as the van and villains drove away with their hostages.
"Well his puns are still as lame as ever" Johnny said.
"Focus Johnny, your sisters were just kidnapped!" Dukey said, "we need to get out of this honey and save them!"
"Good idea" Johnny said "so…how do we do that?"
"Well it is honey, we could just eat it" Dukey suggested.
"Oh yeah."
"By the way, you don't have any toast we could have with this, do you?" Dukey asked.
------------------------------------
Control Freak: Have you heard about what's been going on with Captain America?
Motor Ed: I thought he died.
CF: He did, but they've taken his old sidekick Bucky, who they inexplicably brought back to life, and made him the new Cap. Plus he carries a gun.
Ed: That sounds pretty cool, it's better than that lame shield, seriously. So why are you bugging about it?
CF: I'm not, I'm actually quite happy. In fact, I have another idea for something Marvel can do to increase sales; kill off one of the X-Men. Preferably Cyclops, since no one likes him anyway.
Ed: I can't tell if you're joking or being totally serious. Anyway, in the next chapter, we encounter the heroes who will serve as our arch-enemies, seriously.
CF: Who'd be dumb enough to fight us? Stay tuned, and don't forget to…
Both: Read & Review!
