After the paramedics arrived to take Penny to the hospital, Chief Quimby and the police showed up to arrest the MAD Agents. At that same time, Gadget told Chief Quimby the whole story.
"...And that's the whole story Chief." Gadget sighed.
"Gadget! Arrest this delinquent at once!" The Chief demanded. "He stole the Truth Ray and broke into a top secret military base and knocked out all the guards. So you have to take him in."
"But Chief," Gadget tried to reason "William did this against his will, his uncle blackmailed him, and Penny loves him so much. I won't arrest him!"
"Gadget!" Chief Quimby grabbed Gadget by the coat "If you don't arrest this delinquent at once, you're fired! You got that?"
"Yes Chief." Gadget cuffed William "William, you're under arrest. I'm very sorry."
"It's okay, Gadget." William said sadly "I understand."
Gadget threw William into the Chief's poilce car and the cops took him to juvy. Gadget got into the Gadgetmobile and went right to the hospital.
In the hospital, Penny was being checked by the doctors, Dr. Heyward and Dr. Bianchi.
"How is her pressure?" Asked Dr. Heyward.
"50 over 20, we're losing her." Nurse Bianchi pointed at the meter.
The doctor started operating on Penny. Gadget came into the emergency room.
"Please, I have to know how she's doing." He begged.
"Get out!" Dr. Heyward slammed the door on Gadget.
Nurse Bianchi looked at the fluid bag on Penny's arm.
"She's lost a lot of fluids doctor." Said Nurse Bianchi "I'm afraid it's-"
"I've never lost a patient before!" Dr. Heyward proclaimed "Hand the pedals!"
Nurse Bianchi handed Dr. Heyward the pedals and he rubbed them together.
"Clear!" He zapped Penny's chest with the pedals and nothing happened.
"Do it again!" Nurse Bianchi panicked.
"Clear!" Dr. Heyward shocked Penny's chest with the pedals. Nothing happened.
Back outside, Gadget had been pacing, hoping for the best. Just then, the doctor came in.
Dr. Heyward laid his head down "We did everything we could-"
Gadget gasped and his eyes were getting watery. His little Penny died, how could he face it?
"And it worked!" Dr. Heyward exclaimed "She's gonna make it!"
"Whoo hoo!" Gadget jumped for joy.
"She's not out of the woods yet, but she'll be okay if she stays here for the rest of the week." Said Dr. Heyward.
"I don't get it, how could this happen?" Gadget asked the doctor "Why would those MAD Agents shoot Penny? They usually go after me."
"Love makes you do stupid things, Inspector." Said Dr. Heyward "These things happen all the time."
A FEW HOURS LATER...
Penny was in Penny's hospital room, waiting for her to wake up. He kept holding her hand, hoping it would bring her back to life.
"Oh Penny..." Gadget sniffed.
Just then, Penny's eyes started to open. Gadget was more than thrilled.
"U-u-uncle Gadget?" She woke up.
"Penny!" Gadget hugged her and smothered her face with kisses "You're alive. My sweet baby girl, the love of my life. I was so afraid."
"Uncle Gadget, I'm so sorry." Penny hugged back "I should've listened to you. You were just looking out for me. I'm very sorry."
"I know Penny." Gadget whispered "I know."
"What happened to William?" Penny asked tearfully.
"Well Penny, I had to arrest him." Gadget confessed sadly.
"What?" More tears came out of Penny's eyes.
"Listen Penny, I didn't want to." Gadget explained "This was the Chief's decision. I had no say in it whatsoever. I tried to reason with him but-"
"That's okay Uncle Gadget," Penny sobbed "I know you had to."
"And I know you love him, but it's for the best." Gadget held her in his arms.
"I can't believe I was so blind." Penny said sadly "You guys were just trying to protect me and I just threw it in your face. Brain's not here, and the last thing I said to him was really mean and I can't tell him, I'm so sorry."
Penny started crying and threw herself into her uncle's arms. Gadget held her tightly.
Penny was devastated. Her heart was broken and her true love was now incarcerated. And the worst of it is, she insulted her own family.
BACK AT MAD HQ...
Claw witnessed Penny's hospitalization on his monitor. This was all part of his master plan. And guess what? It actually worked.
"Yes Gadget, you may have foiled my master plan, but I still win." He sinisterly smiled "I've put your niece in the hospital and now, she will never see my nephew again. Now that I've broken your niece's heart, I can go after yours and you will suffer a slow and painful death. I've won Gadget. Mwah ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
"Rrrow." MAD Cat prowled.
IN COURT...
William was on trial, about to become incarcerated, with the possible fate of never seeing Penny again. The jury found him guilty of all charges.
"William Scolex, I hearby sentence you to five years in Juvinelle Hall." The Judge banged his gavel.
The guards then arrested William and took him to juvy, where he would spend the next five years.
"I'm so sorry Penny." William sobbed silently, listening to his broken heart.
