The next day…

Tina's room

Tina was recording herself on her webcam for her stories of the conspiracies she had encountered.

"Good Morning A. Nigma! The last few days have certainly been intense: a once in a life time eclipse, a pyramid opening, a group of soldiers wearing World War II uniforms! Our school president suspended for cheating or was it blackmail? Chaz was a jerk as usual and people are being taken to a secret location called Coral Grove for knowing too much!"

She turned off her webcam and pulled out a can of green apple splat from her fridge.

"Who am I kidding I can't report any of this without any actual facts, well maybe the Chaz part. And the soldiers, but are they really from the time they really claim? Maybe Richtofen's Wunderwaffe DG-2 is a story. All I really do know for sure is how bad it feels to make a pact with Jenny to not date Lee a few seconds before he finally asked me out! Now even my love life feels like a conspiracy! "

She opened the can of splat, but some shot up in the air. Then two photos popped up on her computer.

"Whoa wait a second, what is this...!?"

Later...

8:08 AM

Tina was already at school and she contacted Jenny, who was at the coffee shop trying to figure out what was on the ripped out page.

"Jenny, there's a file in the Coral Grove website you need to see! It's about Brainwashing!" Tina exclaimed.

"Brainwashing? Can it wait I'm kind of in the middle of something!" Jenny said.

"Check the file I just sent you!" Tina said.

A file was sent to Jenny's phone, it was one of the pictures Tina had that popped up on her computer screen that morning.

"It's a photo with Barrage and Wurst in a lab with VP Victoria, Coach Pummel, Mrs. Lob, and…"

There was this red-haired lady beside Mrs. Lob.

"My mom?" Jenny gasped.

"She's a scientist right?" Tina asked.

"No she's a musician! Maybe this was a publicity stunt for her band." Jenny said.

Jenny then noticed it was exactly 8:09.

"Is that the time? I gotta go!" Jenny said.

"One more thing! Richtofen may know more about this one, I'm going to find him today!" Tina said.

"Ok we'll pick this up later! Got to hurry!" Jenny said hanging up.

There was another picture file that had two audio files attached to it, however Tina didn't know that. Jenny didn't check the second image, and she ran outside to find her bike was gone and detached from her bike lock.

"Really? Come on!" Jenny angrily said.

"Something wrong?"

Jenny noticed this guy in a red jacket and blue streaked hair, but was unaware it was The Serpent, well he wasn't wearing his necklace.

"Yes somethings wrong! Can I give you a hint? A broken bike lock and no bike! Did you see anything?"

"I see a lot of things! But a bike thief? No dice!"

"Thanks for the help Mr. Observant! I can't be late for school again!"

"I'm heading that way, or you could be late. Your call."

The Serpent held up a motorcycle helmet. And Jenny gave in and decided it wouldn't be a bad idea. They got there just in time for Jenny not to be late.

"Thanks, I so owe you! Later!" Jenny said high-fiving him.

"Ahem! The helmet?" The Serpent said.

"My bad!"

Jenny took off her helmet and started to scratch her hair.

"Thanks again for helping me out! One more time and I thought they were going to suspend me or something!" Jenny said walking into school.

"Silly girl, there are far worse things than suspension!"

He placed Jenny's helmet in a bio-hazardrous material bag.

Later...

Lee's POV

I was watching the news, with Tina reporting Cam's suspension because of his blackmail incident. I just watched and sighed. Holger however tried to cheer me up.

"Cheer up friend! Maybe Lee of Ping's be asking her out today! Oh, no no no! Maybe she be making the crushy again! Sorry, that makes Lee more sad! Holger can smell, and I smell sadness and it's so yucky! Oh wait, smell being something else, sorry!"

Yup, Holger did accidentally let one go. Chaz was then mocking Cam by saying he liked a leader who could cheat and get away with it. Suddenly I heard someone in the background say: "Can you just get on with it!"

"Oh right, it's my displeasure to introduce our new president Beth! And if you want to close your eyes then now's the time." Chaz said.

Beth was wearing a wizards hat, and was holding a wand.

"Greeting disciples! And if that's the way you really feel then I hear by banish you from the news room!" Beth said angrily.

"BALISIMO!" She added while kicking Chaz away in his chair.

Chaz was off-screen, but I could still hear him.

"You can't do that! My fans need me like puppy's need oxygen! I'm calling my lawyer, and their lawyers, and some other lawyers! And you'll be hearing from somebody! Mark my words!"

"I'm pretty sure School Presidents can't banish people Beth, that's up to the Principal to decide! Or in our case, Principals." Tina said.

"SILENCE! From now on the name Camilio Martinez is banned from school grounds! And so is gluten, so say good bye to Pizza Tuesdays!"

We all gave a sigh of disappointment from Beth's announcement.

"From now on everyone must address me as high wizard of the arcane council of knowledge and power!" She added.

Then the TV just split and on the other end was Chaz.

"Tina, Chazey here and looking great if I may add! And I'm here live with the former first lady of A. Nigma High!"

Brandy was wearing this black outfit, and she had a handkerchief.

"Brandy, The King is dead! How does it feel! I hope it feels awful!"

"My Camy may be gone, but he will not be forgotten!" Brandy exclaimed.

"Chaz, I can't help notice our students are scratching their heads!" Tina suddenly said.

Actually now that she mentioned it, there were! Then I saw Richtofen walk up to the camera with his Wunderwaffe DG-2, and he was wearing his full uniform!

"Oh hello! Am I missing something, or are we having a lice fest today? Everyone seems to be scratching their heads! And good thing I have this big hat! And this big thing I'm holding is a...well it's something. Ok bye! And say hello to my little friend!"

Richtofen took out a little doll which looked like a matroyshka doll.

"Stop tickling me!" It just said.

"What do you expect from an old German like me? Mother never let me play with them but now, THEY ARE MINE!"

"Ya! I am his!" The doll Richtofen said.

Richtofen walked away from the camera whistling, and Brandy went ahead to talking to Richtofen.

"As I was saying! Of course they are scratching there heads! Losing Camilio as President couldn't make any sense! And hey wait get back here!"

Brandy ran off the same direction Richtofen walked along. The news suddenly went blank and on stand-by mode. I went back to The Serpent's office, and the battery was beeping indicating it was low, the snake then changed the angle view of the camera, and it showed pictures of my parents?! And my Brick-McSlam electric toothbrush in the toilet?! Then the video shut off.

9:10 AM

First period was over, so I headed to my locker, and Biffy and Holger came up to me.

"Ready for super power testing?" Biffy asked.

"You mean magic power testing?" Holger said.

"Whatever laden! Now test #1, running through walls!" Biffy suggested.

Holger ran right into the wall and was down.

"Walking through walls? Negatory!" Biffy said.

"What in the name of madness is this?"

I heard Takeo's voice, and there he was right there with his arms crossed.

"Ping how's the feed?" Biffy asked Lee.

"It isn't! But before it shut off the snake changed the angle and I saw photos of my family! If that's not creepy then I don't know what is!" I explained.

"It's creepy alright!" Biffy said.

"So a game is it? Takeo senses something wrong with the lice going around!"

Takeo walked away, and the other end came Barrage.

"Well, tweetle dumb and tweetle dumber! Busted for loitering!"

"Between classes, is that a tad excessive, even for you?" I asked.

"I'll show you excessive Ping! And I'll give you so much excessive that your-"

"Principal Barrage!"

Uh oh Tina... She came running down the hallways and we stared at each other blankly, and I think we blushed.

"General!"

I then saw Dempsey running down the hallway.

"Sir! There is, well, I think there's lice." He said.

"Yes! A. Nigma has a lice outbreak!" Tina added.

Everyone gave out a gasp, and I heard Chaz going on about protecting his scalp from "The Hair Gremlins".

"Lice in my school? Most likely stories!" Barrage said.

Then sirens were heard and these dudes in white suits and cases with the biohazard symbol on it.

"School's quarantined, you got lice!" The men said.

"I do love me a good lock down!" Barrage said.

He pushed a switch, and all the windows were covered and all the doors were closed.

Meanwhile...

10:00 AM

Richtofen was in the library while everything went dark. He grabbed an STG-44 and a Walther P38 from the genius club and put them away within himself, on his holster and his back. He thought he wouldn't need the Wunderwaffe, so he put it back in the box.

Richtofen then walked around and noticed that these floating robots that looked like eyes were flying around, and it was Barrage on the screens. He was saying: "All students to report to gym double time!"

He did notice everyone was scratching their heads, and there was lice, but he wasn't affected.

30 Minutes Later

Tina's POV

I was in the line up with Jenny who was looking at the photo I sent her. Then she just gave a call to someone.

"Mom, is there a chance you could tell me you were in this 80's science themed band with my half-robot principal? Call me!"

"There must be some explanation for this!" I said.

"No there doesn't! First you show me this, I didn't check the other picture by the way. And my bike got stolen on broad daylight! But I'm all wound up, sorry." Jenny said.

"That's awful! I know right!" I said.

"But this hot guy came to my rescue! He gave me a ride to school on his motorcycle! He's so cool!" Jenny happily said.

"What are you doing getting rides from strangers! Something bad would've happened!" I gasped.

"Nah! I'm a good judge of character!" Jenny responded.

Then Barrage called us out.

"You two, definitely infected! Now get in there!"

"But-"

I just noticed myself scratching my own head.

"I knew that you were infected!" I said frustrated.

"Well at least we can be quarantined together, sista!" Jenny said all cool.

"Yeah, whatever, and did you check the picture? And did you see Richtofen?" I asked.

"No, but we can check it later!" Jenny said.

Meanwhile...

Lee was with Biffy to test Holger for flight powers. Holger came crashing down and Biffy was just laughing.

"Flying, oh to the no he didn't!"

Kimmie walked by and was saying to Biffy that taking advantage of the already disabled was cruel, and then she said "Who's the mean one now?"

"But, he asked for it!" Biffy called out.

Holger then stood up.

"Holger try again!" He said.

"No more flying tests! From now on we only do stuff that can't leave a serious injury! Ok?" Biffy suggested.

"Maybe teensy bodily injury?" Holger asked.

Biffy took a glance at Kimmie who just turned away. Holger did sniff at Biffy

"No be worrying! Kimmie only be pretending to be having the mad feelings for you. She really has the love-smell for you, like the love smell you have for her!" Holger said.

"Ok, first you have a dream of having my heart being crushed, and now you're detecting love vibes?" Lee asked.

"Ja! Now Lee has mentioned he has the smell for Tina! Take a shower monsieur love-sick!" Holger said.

"What? No! Ok, you're right..." Lee blushed.

"Maybe you're Captain Love Vibes or something." Lee suggested.

"Ah! Holger always wanted to be Captain!"

Lee noticed it was his turn for the lice test as his mom was finishing up.

"Lee, you better not fail the test!" She said.

"Mom, it's not that kind of test it's-'

"No excuses!"

Lee sat down, but he felt his hair being pulled out.

"Is that really necessary?" Lee scolded.

He heard a familiar laugh and he saw the man put his hair in a tube and into his coat pocket, then he stood up in realization.

"No! But it's more fun!"

"It's The Serpent!" Lee said.

Lee, Biffy, and Holger started to chase him out the gym and in the hallways.

"He can't get far, the school's on lockdown!" Lee pointed out.

"Yeah that's right, and he's on our turf now!" Biffy said.

"And I know where he's headed!"

5 minutes Later...

Lee and the others were at the secret door of the library, they then noticed The Serpent.

"You're not getting away this time!" Lee said.

"Really? How are you going to stop me?" Serpent asked sarcastically.

He pulled out his staff.

"Good question! How are we going to stop him again?" Lee asked Biffy.

"Holg, use your magic powers!" Biffy said.

Holger gave a sniff at The Serpent.

"No love smell, just lifetime of sadness and much loneliness!" He said.

"No not that powers, zap him with a..."

Biffy was noticing someone behind him.

"Did the Cossack miss anything?"

Nikolai was behind The Serpent with a sickle.

"Come on boys, it's time to stand aside!" Serpent said holding up a card.

"No way hosey person! We no stand aside!" Holger crabbed his card.

The Serpent kicked Holger down, and he swallowed Serpent's card.

"What did you do? Spit it out!" Serpent said striking Holger's chest.

Lee and Biffy tried to jump at him, but Serpent jumped back, and he had to deal with Nikolai. He tackled at Serpent, and he had him down for a second, but The Serpent kicked him in...his area, and ran off.

"Little Nikolai! Are you hurt?" Nikolai called out.

Biffy, Holger, and Lee got up, and Nikolai joined the chase to The Serpent.

"Even if we catch up to him, he's a ninja!" Lee said.

"He's right, we need a plan!" Nikolai said.

"Already got one!" Biffy said.

He went to his locker, and there were crystallizers inside.

"I've been saving up for a lovely day!" Bifft chuckled.

"Smooth move comrade!" Nikolai complimented.

"Wait a second, I'll be back!"

Nikolai went away, for something.

Nikolai's POV

I had to go find the other three, and I did find them near the gym.

"Guys, come quick! Our little Lee friend needs support for Serpent fellow!" I said.

"Alright some action!" Dempsey said.

"Let's go!"

They followed me down the hall, and I just had to find them now. Rats!

Meanwhile in the gym...

Jenny was talking about the guy she met earlier before, and how amazing he was, then Jenny had something else in mind.

"Ok sista, want to pass the time with that other image, and check out those audio files you've sent me?" Jenny said.

"What?"

Jenny took out her phone, and took up the second image.

"What's with the weird symbol and the 935?" Jenny asked.

"I don't know, didn't Lee ask us to find something about a 935?" Tina asked.

"Well, yeah...Let's see what we got! Maybe we've got a secret or something!"

Jenny was about to push the first audio recording.

"Ready?" Jenny asked.

"Ready." Tina responded.

Jenny played the first recording, and they were listening VERY CLOSELY.

(A/N: These are radios you can here on the zombies map Moon, and I thought they would work here.)

"Log entry 38. Date: December 4, 1939. The matter transference prototype is prepared for test run number 151. We have now reduced our test subject's mass to prove that this is possible. Dr. Schuster, please give an overview."

"Yes, Dr. Richtofen. We have the new test subject, a walnut, weighing in at 10 grams. The target platform is now at three feet with no obstructions. We have one microgram of the element which, according to our calculations, will be entirely used up during tests."

"Excellent, Dr. Schuster. Commence test number 151."

"Yes, Doctor, er, please insert your earplugs."

Buzzing, whizzing, clanging, and propelling are heard.

"Good God! We've done it! We have powered up the prototype, and it moved a walnut directly from the prototype device into the receiving device. It moved instantly. It... it..."

"...teleported..Get me Dr. Maxis immediately!

"What was that? 1939? That's impossible, there's gotta be more then one Edward Richtofen out there!" Tina said.

"Yeah, but the other day, when Richtofen had the device he held when we were in detetnion, I saw him build it and..."

"And?"

Jenny tried to do the best Richtofen impression she could.

"It worked, oh Schuster if only you were here to see this!"

Jenny and Tina giggled at the impression.

"Good thing he wasn't here to see that!" Jenny said.

"Play the next one!" Tina said.

Jenny played the second radio message was played.

"But this is not the crucial experiment that you were supposed to be working on..."

"With all due respect, Doctor Maxis, this is a breakthrough of unimaginable proportions."

(Sarcastically) "What? That you moved a walnut a few feet? Yes, Edward, we will improve the human condition by revolutionizing the walnut industry. I can see it now: 'Edward's Walnut Delivery.'"

"Don't be obtuse."

(Angrily) "How DARE you call me that! We are at war, Edward! (Slightly calmer) I will admit that there is promise here, but until this war is won..."

"Correct me if I'm wrong, Doctor Maxis, but Group 935 is a research organization. What was the motto? 'To improve the human condition.' What business of ours is this war?"

(In a defeated voice) "Fine, Doctor Richtofen, I will let you in on a little administrative secret: we are finalizing a deal with the Nazi party. We need funding, we need equipment, they need new weapons. Chances are this war will end soon with a treaty or two and we will be in a much better position to help the world."

"Are you certain this won't cause massive defections? We have scientists from all over the world working with us."

"That is why it is with the utmost confidence that I share this with YOU. No one will know of this. This is simply the breaking of an egg to make an omelet."

"Think of the tactical advantage we will have..."

"Think of the cost, think of the time! We can provide the Nazis tactical expertise in various areas without putting all our eggs in your (angrily) walnut basket. Good day, Edward, and get back to your real work."

Feet hitting the ground and a door slamming are heard.

"What a jerk. I think Doctor Maxis has lost his perspective. No matter... we will do this on our own and publish the findings before he has a chance to..."

"You're not suggesting that Dr. Maxis would steal this technology and perfect it without us, are you?"

"I would by no means discourage that thought. Great scientists must stick together and achieve great science."

"I have no comment..." Jenny said.

"Dr. Maxis?" Tina said.

"Why would Schuster and Richtofen hate him that much, is that why?"

"Great scientist must stick together and achieve great science..." Tina thought.

Then Brandy came behind them.

"It's supposed to be the twenty-first century, what is this? Black-Plague high?" Brandy said sarcastically.

The Beth came walking in with Stepak holding a camera.

"Greetings troubled subjects!"

"What do YOU want?" Brandy asked.

"I just wanted to visit my fellow victims! Like Presidents do in this time of disaster!"

"Really? With a camera crew!" Brandy pointed at Stepak.

"It's a good will mission! Can you play along?"

"NO!"

Brandy then turned to the camera.

"Fact: When Camilio Martinze was School President, we never had lice!"

Brandy started shouting out "Lice Wizard!" Tina and Jenny joined in, then Beth ran off.

Meanwhile...

Dempsey, Nikolai, Takeo, and Richtofen were with Biffy and Holger listening for The Serpent and Lee.

"He's goin' that way!" Dempsey pointed to a direction.

The four ran down the hallway, and they noticed Holger was in the vent. The Serpent came out of the vent and right there was Dempsey and Nikolai on one side, and Takeo and Richtofen at the other end. Dempsey had a BAR, Nikolai had a Ballistic Knife Sickle, Richtofen had an STG-44, and Takeo had his Type 100. Lee, Biffy, and Holger joined in.

"I'm sick of your games! Why are you messing with my family?! What do you want?!" Lee asked agitated.

"I already have what I want!"

"Enough with the games! Everything with you is slow-mo duvs and lying in the rain!"

"Alright, lock and load, let's get this done!" Dempsey said.

Biffy cocked his gun.

"I keep doing that!" He said.

"Fine have it your way!"

The Serpent took out a bag that contained a picture of Lee, and a piece of hair in a tube.

"Ok, I know you're a gold-medal class weirdo, but why do you have that?!" Lee asked.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" Serpent asked.

Then suddenly the gym door opened.

"DISMISSED! Lice have been contained! Lockdown is over, and just in time for lunch! I hope it's Pizza day!" Barrage said.

The four along with Lee hid their weapons, but The Serpent used the crowd of students to get to the door. On the way, he encountered Jenny and asked for her number.

Barrage gave Lee and Biffy detention.

"So close!" Lee growled.

Dempsey stayed back, and the other three went back to the library.

"Ah Dempsey, may I negotiate our terms?"

"Sure!"

3:16 PM

Jenny had gotten been offered a ride from The Serpent, and she said "Heck yeah!" He took her home.

9:16 PM

Lee was talking with Cam that night online, and how it really stinks being stuck at home.

"At least you didn't catch lice and get your butt kicked by The Serpent!" Lee said.

" Why would he take a hair?" Lee questioned.

"If that was a movie, it would be for a voodoo doll, or cloning bro!" Cam suggested.

"How about something more reality based theory! And I've seen enough from those four for our minds to be blown!" Lee said.

"Ok, maybe he's all like your biggest fan! Oooh, Lee Ping! He's so cool, and stuff. I wish I could have souvenir like a hair!"

"As if!"

At The Hydra...

The Serpent was conducting DNA tests with Lee's hair sample, his machine said "Test result positive!" And then he realized it, and looked out to the window. He was asked to analyze something that Cassandra gave to him, it was an old yellow Nazi uniform that was found in the weapons crate. It came positive for Dr. Edward Richtofen. His Eminence even supplied a file with Richtofen's military service of 30 years, and his responsibility for over half the 935 material MWF secretly possessed.

"I've checked and double checked, and I know now! I finally found you!"
