Chapter 14: Resurgence

"All Captains report to the Commander's chamber for an emergency captain meeting." the intercom said. "I repeat, all Captains report o the Commander's chamber for an emergency meeting."

"Well it seems I must leave you now," Captain Bloodlust said to Huey. "Squad 4 barracks are just around that corner, it was nice meeting you Huey."

She gave him one more lasting hug before walking off to the meeting. Huey stared at the woman, he knew there was more to her than she showed. He didn't know why but for some reason he could sense something about her, his thoughts were interrupted when he arrived back at his squad's barracks. He opened the door and saw lieutenant Lorche, Pamu, and Ally standing in the main room.

"What's going on?" Huey asked.

"We're being assigned a mission." Lorche told him. "I believe that's why the captains are meeting right now, something big must be going on."

Lorche then turned to a large tube in the room and walked to it, the moment he stuck his hand inside a bottle shot into his hand. Lorche opened the bottle unrolling the message inside. "Hmm," he said. "It says here that Alessandra and Huey are being summoned by the captains. Pamu and I are ordered to the Main Hall along with the majority of the agents."

"Understood," Ally said. "Let's go boy." She left the room with Huey following her wondering exactly what the hell was going on.

"The Commander is returning to HQ." Dr. X told the eleven captains sitting before her. "I personally request that he do so as we are now operating under Code Blue conditions."

The captains began to murmur amongst themselves before one of them spoke up. "But that means that we must cease all other operations and mobilize." the captain who wore the number 8 on his chest.

"That's correct Captain Gorden." Dr. X said.

"We can't, my team is supposed to stop a uprising riot in District 5." another captain, who wore the number 10 on her shoulder, said.

"We have that covered Captain Yao."

"You're requesting too much!" Captain Mohara growled. "To ask all squads to drop everything just to focus on the Mistress, surely she can't be that much to handle!"

"Watch your tone Captain Mohara, remember who you speak to." Dr. X said glaring at him. "This order has not been made only by myself, but also your commander. I expect you all to follow immediately."

"Vice Commander, if I may." Eli suddenly said. "Why not instead of asking all captains to leave, you organize a squad of suitable agents lead by one or two captains?"

"Out of the question Captain Black, besides we have no time to-"

"Actually Vice Commander, I have taken the liberty of mobilizing a squad of my choice." Eli interrupted.

"Did you now?" Dr. X asked. "And who might that be?"

"They're right outside the door," Eli said as he opened it.

"Come on in guys." Dr. X watched as Eli's selected agents appeared.

There were seven of them present, Huey Freeman, Alessandra Santos, CoCo Washington, Reese Edwards, Keiko Ida, Tony Moore, and Michi Vedo. "Vice Commander X," Eli said. "Allow me to show you my own retrieval team. These seven agents are believed to be the most highly skilled, and are future captain candidates."

"Elij-...I mean Captain Black. You can't really believe that I'll allow you to let rookies do this highly important mission alone do you?" Dr. X asked. "Out of this group only one of them have been here longer than three years, and none of them are even over 21. They're still kids."

"Hey we're not kids!" Keiko yelled.

"Yeah, we can take on anyone or anything!" Reese backed up.

CoCo smacked both of them upside their heads. "Idiots! That's the Vice Commander you're talking to, show some respect!" she hissed.

Both Keiko and Reese's eyes widened as they both got on their knees and bowed. "We're sorry." they said.

"I can handle this myself if I wished," Ally said. "I don't need the help of imbeciles like them."

"Imbecile?" Huey asked. "Just who do you think you're referring to?"

"Oh, you want another round eh?" Ally asked as their foreheads slammed against one another. "Well let's go then, I'm tired of your attitude."

"Look who's talking!" Huey growled.

Dr. X's face deadpanned and the sight before her, not to mention Tony gobbling down his snacks while Michi was just looking at her fingernails. "These are your highly skilled agents?" Dr. X asked Eli who shrugged. "Ugh fine, we'll allow it. But not without the company of two captains."

"I nominate myself," Eli said. "Huey and Ally are my responsibility."

Dr. X nodded and turned to the captains. "Does anyone else voulenteer to accompany these agents on this very important mission?" she asked.

All nine of them looked at the agents and none of them rose their hands. "Hmph, buncha undisciplined rookies of ya ask me," a person said. Dr. X looked on top of the balcony and saw another captain appear before her. He was a tall man with scars all over his muscled arms, large spikey white hair, and two different colored eyes one was a normal brown eye while the other was red without a pupil. Huey was astonished at how similar he looked to the Mystery Man.

"I'll take the kids," he said showing the badge on one of his gloves. "Squad 4 Captain Hehatchi Madarame."

"Captain Madarame," Dr. X grinned. "It's been a while, back from one of your extended vacations?"

"Hmph, you could say that," Hehatchi said. "I was actually gonna sneak some more supplies and leave again when I overheard this mission, couldn't pass it up."

"I see, alright then. You and Captain Black are to accompany these agents on a rescue mission." Dr. X said.

"Rescue eh? What are we stealing?" Hehatchi asked.

"Project Z," Dr. X told them. "I located it and found out exactly who it was."

"Who?" Eli asked.

Dr. X looked at Huey who was giving them a look said in a very low voice "Jazmine Dubious."

Huey's gasped as his eyes got large. "What?" he growled. "What did you say?"

"Hmm you're hearing is rather impressive," Dr. X said. "But you heard me correctly, Jazmine Dubious is the 3rd superhuman project created, Project Z. And the Mistress has her."

"No," Eli said. "No, that can't be!"

"Jazmine...JAZMINE!" Huey bolted out of the room.

"Damn it Huey wait!" Eli said following him.

Dr. X solemnly shook her head and turned back to the captains. "Alright, as for the rest of you here I-"

"Vice Commander," a new voice spoke.

Dr. X turned to the voice. "Yes Captain Kira Mizuchizi?"

"I'd like to go with them," Kira said. "I think we may need more than two captains, especially since this appears to be a personal matter for one of the agents. Also you can't really trust that idiot Captain Black with seven undisciplined agents."

"Understood," Dr. X said. "Your request is accepted. As for the rest of you, I want all of you readying your agents, we are still in Code Blue effect so that means you must relay all the information to your lieutenants and start readying the rest of your squads. Meeting adjourned."

All the captains bowed and began to exit the room except for Kira and Hehatchi as well as the agents. "Alright you rooks," Dr. X said. "The seven of you have been honorably chosen by a member of the Zero Squad, each of you have ablities that could one day equal a captain. It's time you proved your worth to me, Captains Madarame and Mizuchizi, and Captain Black. You are tasked with carefully retrieving Project Z."

"So there's two projects?" CoCo asked.

"Three," Dr. X said. "Project X, who you all know as Huey Freeman, Project Y, who's identity is unknown as it went missing years ago, and Project Z, who is revealed to be a biracial 17-year-old girl named Jazmine Dubious."

"Seems easy enough," Reese grinned.

"Not quite," Dr. X said. "You have to secretly, infiltrate the Mistress's headquarters. Meaning don't be seen at all, if you are caught I can't very well promise you'll live."

"Right, I'll make sure these dunderheads don't screw up," CoCo said slamming her two fists on both Keiko and Reese's heads.

Meanwhile outside the room Eli was chasing Huey down through the halls, Huey kept running and then started to jog. Eventually he began walking before coming to a complete stop. "Where the hell am I?" he asked out loud as Eli sweatdropped.

"Huey," Eli said placing a hand on Huey's shoulder. "Look, I'm just as worried as you are but you have to calm down man."

"How the hell can I calm down, they took her!" Huey said. "They could be doing anything to Jazmine right now, and I won't let it happen again. Last time they took someone I love I lost my best friend and my grandfather nearly lost his life." Huey clenched his fist hard and slammed it into the wall making a huge dent.

"I'm not gonna let them do it again," he growled.

"I understand," Eli said softly. "Believe me I do, they took someone I love from me as well. But we gotta stay levelheaded, if we just rush in there blindly someone is bound to die."

Huey nodded and took a deep breath. "I know," he said turning to Eli. "I'll keep my cool, but I need your help."

"Anything at all," Eli grinned knowing exactly what he was about to ask.

"Get me a phone or something," Huey ordered. "I have an important call to make."

"Ya mean ta tell me she just up and disappeared?" Riley asked. "What did she suddenly get da power of instant transmission?"

"I dunno," Cindy, who was still completely distraught, said. "But I'm gettin' worried, whut if they took her. Rememba da last time dey kidnapped sumbody?"

"If it's anythang like I wuz, we need to get baby girl and Mikey fast." Grandad said.

"Iight," Riley said. "Now wese gat one mo' problem. Who goan tell Tom and Sarah? Not it!"

"Not it!" Cindy said.

"Not it!" Kim yelled.

"Not...damn it!" Grandad said. "Fine, Ima tell 'em but I ain't goan stick around long, I don't need ta hear Tom cryin' like a baby agin."

Just then Riley's cellphone went off as he quickly snatched it from his pocket. "Restricted?" he asked. "Who da hell callin' from a restricted numbah?"

"I dunno, answer it." Cindy said.

"Nah, might be some lame prank callin' nigga." Riley said.

"Riley just answer it," Kim chimed in. "You always make everything difficult."

"Naw mane!"

"Riley!"

"I said no!"

"Fine give it to me!"

"Don't touch mah phone C-Murph!"

"Gimme da gaddamn phone!"

"No!"

"Boy ya bettah give her da phone or Ima get mah belt!"

"Damn it Grandad I'm bout ta be sixteen, I don't need no whoopin no mo'!"

"Riley!" Everyone yelled.

"Iight, iight fine!" Riley said answering it. "What nigga?"

"Why do you always answer the phone like that?" a familiar voice said to Riley making his eyes get bigger.

"B-Big bruh?" Riley asked. "Dat you?"

"That's Huey?" Kim asked.

"Lemme hear! Put it on speaker!" Cindy said.

"Iight, hold on." Riley said pressing the speaker button. "Ya on speaker bruh."

"Good," Huey's voice said. "Listen, I know about Jazmine so you don't need to worry. S.C.A.R has just put me on a rescue team to retrieve her."

"Ay man, wat's it like ova dere?" Riley asked.

"I'll tell you when I see you, right now focus." Huey said. "Cindy, I need you to go upstairs and look under my bed, you should see my iPad under there."

"iPad?" Riley asked as Cindy hurried up the steps. "When da fuck did he get one of dem?"

"I bought it," Grandad said.

"What? Why da fuck do he get a iPad? See dat ain't fair Grandad, first he gets a sword, den he gets a car, den he gets a fuckin' iPad? What's next 10,000 G's?"

"Actually I promised him 30,000." Grandad corrected.

"Huh nigga?"

"He need it fo' his weddin', plus he gettin' da fuck outta mah house soon so he need some money." Grandad explained.

"Hey!" Huey said. "Damn you two get on my nerves worse than those Tres Ninos."

"Who?" everyone asked.

"Never mind," Huey said. "Does Cindy have the iPad?"

"Gat it," Cindy called coming back down the steps.

"Alright, look for my tracker app." Huey ordered. "Once you find that scroll down until you see the one labeled PICK."

Cindy looked through the iPad and found what Huey said. "I got it," she announced. "Now what?"

"Press it and then connect," Huey said. "Once you do that, a map should appear with a blinking red dot."

"I see it," Cindy said. "Damn watchu doin' 20,000 miles west?"

"I need you to follow the tracking device I have in my hair pick," Huey said. "It should lead you exactly where I'm going."

"Damn bruh, we goan need a plane to catch you." Riley said.

"Already have it covered," Huey told him as Riley heard what sounded like an airplane landing. Everyone rushed outside and looked up at the huge plane in front of them. "Guys, I'd like you to meet DeeDee, expert pilot." Huey said through the phone.

"Pleasure to meet ya," DeeDee said saluting them.

"DeeDee will take you where you need to go, I'll call again to give you more details. Make sure you all come packing."

"Packing? Wait a minute what's going on?" Kim asked.

"Aw shit, I forgot she don't know 'bout dis shit." Riley said.

"Too late now," Huey told them. "Kim, do you know how to shoot a weapon?"

"Well no," Kim said. "However, I am pretty good with blades."

"Good enough, bring her along and make sure to fill her in on everything." Huey told them. "I've got to go."

"Iight bruh." Riley said hanging up. He then pulled a gun seemingly out of nowhere and cocked it back. "Let's get dis shit crackin'."

"Wait Riley, we need mo' backup." Cindy said. "I'm callin' thugnificent."

"An' while ya at it, contact Ed. Tell him either he comin' or I'm draggin' him." Riley said.

In a dungeon-like place the Mistress stood in front of a cell tapping her foot impatiently. "Where is he?" she whined. "It shouldn't be taking this long."

Just then a loud groan was heard inside the cell as a hand that appeared to be the same size as the Mistress's whole body ready out. "Shh," the Mistress said patting the large hand. "Don't fret Junior, we'll have your meal soon. Mommy always takes care of her babies."

"Mmmmmm." the large beast groaned. "Mommy...nice..."

"Of course Junior," the Mistress said as a door opened. "Ahh, here we are."

"Sorry about the wait Mistress," Lamar said coming down the steps. "The servants were rather reluctant to play today."

"Noooo! Please God noooo!" a lady screamed as she kicked and thrashed trying to break free of the chains that were restraining her. "Mistress! I've served you for five years! You took me away from my home and promised me I'd return!"

"Did I? I must have been high that day," The Mistress said. "Besides, Colleen, you know the rules of the game. You get picked, you lose."

"B-But you promised!" Colleen screamed as tears ran down here eyes. "Please, I'm begging you!"

"Aww isn't that sweet?" the Mistress laughed. "She's begging me."

Lamar just laughed heartily as the Mistress picked up a sharp stone. "We just need to give Junior motivation." she said running the stone along Colleen's arm, as the blood ran down Colleen screamed in pain and kept thrashing about.

"Hn?" came Junior's voice from behind the bars. "Food?"

"Lamar if you please," the Mistress said.

Lamar nodded and picked Colleen up over his shoulder leaping into the air and landing on top of Junior's cage. "No! No! No!" Colleen screamed as Lamar opened the hatch and tossed her into the cage quickly closing it. Colleen landed hard on the concrete floor, she staggered to get up and made her way against the cage wall clutching her bleeding arm. Immediately she looked up and saw a huge beast that looked over 30 feet tall staring directly at her. "P-Please," Colleen whispered as the beast lunged at her eliciting one last piercing scream before blood covered the walls.

"So Lamar, has she arrived yet?" The Mistress asked as they left the dungeon.

"Yes Madam, the Special Ops team retrieved her just last night. She is in her room right now."

"And the child?" the Mistress asked.

"Well, you asked us not to harm the girl and she wouldn't let us take her child. So she still has him." Lamar explained.

"That's fine, we don't need to rush things," The Mistress said. "Now that we have Project Y and Z, all we need is the final piece." The Mistress then grinned evilly. "And with Jazmine Dubious in custody, she'll bring Project X right to us like sharks at the scent of blood."

A large aircraft began to descend on the landing dock of S.C.A.R's main HQ. "We're here sir," the pilot said as a man holding a cane stood. When his face came into view it revealed a middle-aged black man, with a short buzz cut, a goatee, dark sunglasses, and a scar over his nose. He wore a white commander outfit with a black cape on it, white gloves, and stainless white dress shoes.

"Alrighty then," he said getting out of the aircraft, he was immediately met by Dr. X who wore a serious expression on her face.

"Commander Johnson," she said saluting. She kept that pose for a few seconds before bursting into laughter with Percy following suit.

"Oh, I almost believed you for a second there," Percy laughed.

"I practiced that all night," Dr. X told him clutching her stomach in laughter. They laughed for a few more minutes before calming down.

"Same old Al," Percy said. "Except you haven't jumped me quite yet."

"You mean like this!" Dr. X said tackling him to the ground. "C'mere, you've got a long overdue noogie."

"Vice commander we're ready to-" Ally froze as she watched her commander and vice commander playing like children, soon the other agents appeared and all of them sweatdropped at the sight before them.

"Hm? Oh, I almost forgot!" Dr. X said letting Percy go. "Percy you've arrived just in time, we're sending these agents on a rescue mission."

"I told you to call me Commander in front of the agents," Percy said. "Now, what's all this talk about a rescue mission?"

"Sir!" the Tres Ninos said simultaneously saluting him. "We've been tasked with retrieving Project Z sir!"

"I see, and you're sending them alone?" Percy asked.

"No sir," Eli said. "Me, Captain Mizchizi and Captain Madarame."

"Mmhm," Percy said. "Well I trust the nine of you to succeed in this mission."

"Actually there's one more," a new voice said appearing. Percy turned and saw Huey Freeman standing but 10 feet away from him. "I'm going on the mission as well," he said.

Percy seemed a bit lost for words, when he saw Huey he saw the exact reflection of a boy version of Mariah. "W-What is your name?" he asked.

"Why should I tell-"

Eli elbowed Huey before he could finish that. "His name is Huey, Huey Freeman sir." Percy's eyes widened as he stared directly at his son.

"My boy..." he whispered.

"Excuse me?" Huey asked arching an eyebrow.

"Uhm nothing," Dr. X said. "Commander Johnson is just tired from the long ride, let's get you some rest Commander."

Percy nodded as all the agents, with the exception of Huey, saluted him as left with Dr. X back into the building.

Huey stared at his Commander his eyes narrowing a bit. "I feel like I've seen that man somewhere before," he said. "And something tells me that he knows me as well, judging by his reaction." Eli grinned at Huey. You're just too smart for your own good Huey.

A/N: Huey meets his father for the first time and doesn't know it. Oh and sorry about the long updating process, there was a storm and my internet shut down for a while, I just got it back. Review for me guys.
