*Six Years*
"Agent P!" Carl the Intern said, when he saw the teal, anthropomorphic platypus stop in front of his desk. "You're back! Carla!" he called for her cousin (and fellow unpaid intern of OWCA) who was debriefing some other Agent P, "Call for General Monogram! Agent P is back!"
"Great Googly Moogly!" said the Former Major, promoted a few months after Perry's 'leave of Absence', now greying as he was entering his fifties, "You're Back!"
The once Major, now wearing the badge of his new rank, stopped by next to the Platypus, standing on his back feet. "Where were you? Your Cameras went offline as soon as we lost you. and Doofenshmirtz-"
Perry chattered, "We can't understand you, Agent P." the Mammal of Action rolled his eyes, taking out his notebook and began writing on it.
'Doof didn't do anything.' He wrote, 'He's still harmless. Well, a bit more aggressive.'
"Doofenshmirtz killed Rodney, Agent P." Carl said, in a grim tone, "And as evil as Rodney is, this is one step too far for Doof. We will need to neutralize him."
Perry's eyes widened. 'Neutralize him? What's that supposed to mean?'
"Exactly as the name follows, Agent" the General said, "The Risk Doofenshmirtz creates for us is more than whatever he might invent. It's time he was eliminated."
'No.' Perry wrote. 'Rodney was too much a threat, and overall more dangerous than Heinz Doofenshmirtz has ever been. I will not kill him'
"Then you won't. Don't worry, Agent P. we're giving you some time off until you decide to join us again."
'I will go back to my Lair, then' Perry wrote. "No. Your cover might be blown if you do that. It is imperative that OWCA's not revealed to the public. Agent P, we're relocating you. Stay here, until we can find you a new place."
Perry chattered angrily, but didn't argue back. He had his stuff to unpack, for now.
"I was afraid this would happen" Monogram sighed, "I had a feeling Perry had grown a friendship of sorts with That old hoot."
"It's quite Common, sir" Carl said, "Carla tells me that Pinky the Chihuahua had grown attached to her Nemesis, Professor Poofenplotz as well. he disobeyed Command as well when he was ordered to Neutralize him in the Incident in '03"
"Then, to my regret" Monogram said, "We need to deploy the New Agent P. Call for the Panda. Brief him, you're supervising this mission. I have to recheck Agent P's Recordings."
"But Sir," Carl said, "Why does Doof even need to die? This is his first strike."
"He Killed a man in cold blood, Carl" Monogram said, "with Rodenstein dead, he's the sole leader of L.O.E.M. hundreds of Scientists and Madmen with enough resources to bring on an endless winter, directly under his role, and he actually outsmarted Perry the Platypus. We don't have any agents smarter than that. He can't be left alive for much longer."
"What about his inventions?" Carl said, "Should we 'eliminate' His new NORM robots too? They're everywhere now."
"Don't worry about them. They will not be a threat. Not after Doof is gone."
"Agent P" Carl said to Agent P, when he finally showed up to his office, The Panda had a Cup of Coffee in a hand, and a look of Boredom on his face, essentially his general Expression.
"You're being deployed for an Assassination Mission." Carl said, "Go to The Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated Headquarters, and kill Heinz Doofenshmirtz. After you're done, I need you to record everything on his computers, shrink any invention still there, and destroy anything you deem unnoteworthy. Remember that It is imperative that the death is staged as an accident, which will not be hard, considering what that man keeps in his home. Eliminate your Target, and return here."
The Great Panda saluted, and left the Building. "Godspeed, Agent P." Carl said, as he returned towards his Computers. He would miss Doof, but orders are orders.
Heinz Doofenshmirtz laughed as he saw the events transpiring in the OWCA headquarters.
"It appears I was right, NORM" he said to the Robot, even though there were at least fifteen NormBOTs in the hall. "The Monobrow has been stealing my inventions. Well, let's put a stop to it right… about… now!" The Hacked OWCA servers finally copied all data into his Personal Servers, he laughed, "With just a push of a button, Years of Work will be gone... but let's not, eh? We can wait for a few more days…"
"Sir," NormBOT number 12 said "My Scanners show a certain Anthropomorphic Mammal flying right towards The Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated with a Jetpack. How should We Proceed?"
"Well, we should drop the 'Evil' part, for one" The Madman said, not really paying attention to the Status report his Droid Underling had given him. "Maybe add a few extensions too… This is getting too crowded, you know"
"The Anthropomorphic Mammal is less than five hundred Yards away, sir." The Robot Warned again, Heinz laughed. "Ok, That's Far enough. Inform The Platypus, and Hibernate in your pods, all of you. except for you, NormGuard. You'll be on standby."
The Robots retreated to their pods, each pod lowered into the Floor beneath them. The NormGuard shaped into the NORM, its less threatening (or suspicious) form.
"Oh, right. and record this. we might need it later"
"Agent P" the Holographic figure of Carl Karl raised from the surface of Perry's watch. "You're being deployed for an Assassination mission"
Perry's eyes were raised. This sure didn't seem like any mission he'd received from OWCA yet.
He didn't know OWCA even dealt with Assassination missions. He sure as hell hadn't done anything other than 'kick someone around' or 'save somebody from being kicked around', and he was one of the most experienced agents here.
If he was getting such a mission, he would need to know who his target was.
"Go to The Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated Headquarters, and kill Heinz Doofenshmirtz." Carl said, the holographic forms of Doof, his Ferb-shaped Building, and a pair of vantage points nearby appearing on the screen around Carl.
'Kill Doof?' Perry though. 'didn't I just say I wouldn't-'
"After you're done, I need you to record everything on his computers, shrink any invention still there, and destroy anything you deem unnoteworthy." Carl Continued, Perry's eyes even wider.
This did not seem like the Carl he remembered. And this did not seem like the OWCA he'd joined years ago.
They wanted a man dead? And his lifework stolen? This was not the justice he was supposed to stand for.
These were not the actions of a good guy.
He wasn't sure he even knew what organization he'd joined now…
But he was sure of one thing. He was definitely not the 'Agent P' The Unpaid Teenager had been talking about. And he was not going to let this Agent P succeed in his mission.
"The Panda should be here about now. Maybe I should get in character!" the Madman said, then slouched (Like he used to, a year ago), then cleared his throat, his '-Inator' behind him.
The Glass Ceiling behind him broke down, a White and Black ball of Fur dropping down in front of him.
"You're not Perry the Platypus!" the Doctor said in a startled tone. "Who are you supposed to be?"
The Panda rose from the ground, a pair of Knives in his hands. A very dark look on his face. He lunged at the Tall Man.
Doofenshmirtz slammed his palm on a button on the stage he stood in, the Platform began raising to the ceiling, the Panda missed the Lunge and hit the platform, "That Style, those Knives…" Doof said in a pondering tone, "You're not like Perry the Platypus, are you? You're OWCA's Dark secret. the Eraser than kills those who're too much of a threat to the Security of the OWCA."
"So, Monobrow finally sent one after me, didn't he?" he chuckled. "Well, let's see if My Invention can prove a challenge" he called, "NormGuard! Activate!"
The NORM robot floated a few steps above ground, its gears turning and new parts leaving its body. The Harmless looking NORM transformed into a dark looking Droid with a razors, blasters and a flamethrower connected to it, ready for combat.
"Destroy the Intruder" He Ordered as he lowered the Platform down again, walking towards the balcony.
It would not be a match for him. the robot had a lot of weapons, but its programming was basic. The Panda rolled away as the Guardian Droid lunged, and then stabbed its leg with one of his knives.
The Broken, Stabbed Piece of Electronic Wonder let out some sparks, the droid letting out a 'error. Leg piece disconnected'
Shoving his other Knife into the Droid's Head, The Panda Assassin effectively destroyed it. pulling both his knives out of the droid, he turned, stalking towards the Mad Doctor.
"Note to Self, produce NormBOTs with Sturdier Alloys" Doofenshmirtz said to himself, as he turned towards the Panda.
"What, you think walking slowly makes me more scared of you?" he pulled his pistol out of his Jacket's pocket. "Don't come any closer!"
The Panda growled, before lunging at him, Dodging the Five bullets Heinz shot at him.
It was on.
There was not enough time! Perry thought to himself as he glided towards the Infamous Building, only to see the Skyline already broken, signs of struggle in the ground beneath it.
Damnit! He dove down, landing swiftly near a robot that still let out sparks.
There was no sign of any other NormBOTs around, and there were obvious signs of struggle everywhere.
A Few Boxes were scattered around the floor, a few bullets on the ground. Everything smelled of Gunpowder, for one thing, and there were holes on a wall.
A Fight. He though, and Doof did not hold back.
Then he heard another gunshot, and something that was probably a Drusselsteinian Curse word.
Running to the source of the noise, He Found the Panda stalking towards a Figure in black, pathetically dragging himself away from him.
Doofenshmirtz finally stopped by the Wall, panting.
The Panda walked over to him, saying in his tongue (which, obviously, Perry could understand, being an Animal and all) "It's Over, Doofenshmirtz. Say your prayers."
"Stop!" Perry chattered as he ran towards the two. "Don't kill him!"
"Why?" the Panda said, "He's evil, a murderer, and a menace to this city. Why should I not kill him?"
"We're agents of the Law." Perry shot back, "We can't kill a man who's innocent by law"
"So says the Platypus who hits him around and steals his inventions for his daily bamboo" Peter shot back, still his pair of knives in hands, even though he wasn't looking at the Fallen man.
"That's-" Perry paused. "Actually that's a very good point." He turned to the Mad Doctor, "I guess I'm sorry"
Heinz looked at the two of them, then tried to chatter like a platypus.
The Two Anthropomorphic Mammals looked at each other, then Peter said "Oh screw it" he brought his knives down to the man's eyes.
"NO!" Perry cried as he launched his Grappling gun to the Animal's hand.
Perry would never remember what exactly happened next.
He just remembered Heinz crying in pain, the Grappling hook cutting through the panda's arm, and him jumping to kick the Panda in the face.
He didn't know what knocked the Evil Scientist out, or why the Panda began drooling as his eyes rolled back (just that his Webbed feet stabbed the Panda near his Left Eye), he didn't know what he did then.
Just that he was officially a rogue to the OWCA.
He had saved his arch-nemesis. The Evil Doctor Heinz Doofenshmirtz.
And that there was nothing to go back now.
A.N:
I SUCK at action scenes. Well, to be honest I suck at writing period.
Anyway. I'll see you guys next chapter, Chapter Five: Fall of the OWCA!
