AWOL's POV
After 10 minutes, my sister came back up from SWAG. During those 10 minutes, Ray and I decided that we would split up and find Bose without technology. You know, the old fashioned way. I got on him about it and then he yelled at me and I clapped back at him for 8 minutes straight. Of course, Mika came up to that. She was about to say something, but knowing that face of guilt, I stopped her before she could apologize.
Me: It's okay sis. We get it.
Schwoz: [tosses a tablet over his shoulder] Nothing.
Oh, also, Schwoz kept trying to find him with his inventory.
???: Had to throw the towel in the fire, huh Ray?
We turn around. Oh great. Just what we needed.
Drex: Couldn't fix Swellview with your little team?
Shoutout: We just got back!
Me: When did you come back?
Drex: Since I heard this city was being called Hellview. Checks out honestly.
Ray: Well I'm still good enough to beat you!
Shoutout: Ray...he probably got cardio in while he was gone.
Drex: That's right! Which is why I'm going to give you guys a peace offer.
Wait, what?
Shoutout: What is it?
Ray: I decline! MILES! Teleport the trash to his can.
Me: I'm with Mika on this one. I want to at least hear him out.
Ray: WHAT!
Drex: I help you guys find Bose and Sparky and bring Swellview back and maybe...just maybe...
Shoutout: I ACCEPT!
You know what? I don't even blame her.
Drex: [slowly] ...I'll join your team.
Ray: WHAT!
Me: Look, we'll split up. I'll go with you and Drex can go with Mika.
Ray: But... Okay, fine!
He transforms into Captain Man and then I teleported us to the Swellview Zoo. Those poor animals... Anyway, that's where we split off.
Drex's POV
So this is gonna be weird for me. The only times I did a hero's job since I escaped from Swellview Prison was taking down some idiot robbers trying to rob Schneider's Bakery and helping bring the Man's Nest back to Earth. Of course, the robbers were interrupting my scheme with Ray and Henry and I was forced to bring back the Man's Nest against my will. Now I'm doing this willingly. I don't know what got into me, but here I am. Anyway, I decided to start a conversation. It was too quiet.
Me: [awkwardly] So...do you know why he ran away?
DAMN IT! That was a bad way to start the conversation.
Shoutout: Well, I don't exactly know. My best guess is that he still thinks my mom doesn't like the idea of us being together, so he didn't want to get me in trouble and ran away.
Oooooooooo, trouble in Paradise?
Me: So you two are a couple now, huh?
Shoutout: Yeah. I freaked out on the phone because my mom was knocking on my door and she has famously strong knuckles. I said it quickly, but he surprisingly caught on and thankfully he did, because apparently he had feelings for me too.
Me: Well that's one way to get together I suppose. Congratulations.
I'm not good with this kind of stuff. A bad guy having a casual conversation with a hero? Maybe I can become a hero again? I don't know.
Shoutout: Honestly, I'll ta-
Suddenly this big muscular guy grabs Mika by the neck and lifts her up as if he was gonna choke her to death.
Muscles: So you're back, huh? Right into our trap, right Drex?
What the hell? How does this guy know my name? Well either way, I punched him and he ended up dropping Mika.
Me: Kid, you okay?
Shoutout: [still trying to catch her breath] Yeah, I'm good.
She caught her breath and looks at me all confused and angrily.
Me: Shoutout, I swear I didn't know about this. I don't even know that guy!
Muscles: So you're a hero now, huh Drex?
Me: Dude, who are you and how do you know my name?
Muscles: I'm Kyle, and I know you because you were once the scariest criminal in Swellview! Destroyed buildings, that viral video of you spanking Kid Danger...cool dude by the way. Sad to see him go.
If only he knew...
Kyle: I was hoping we'd fight each other again... Wait a minute, that's not the point! You even kept up with Captain Man! I looked up to you as a kid, hoping to be a great villain whether it was to be as great as you or even better than you. But I guess I'm the only villain here, huh?
I don't know what got into me, but I punched Kyle again and I beat him up in 3 minutes. He was one hell of a fighter though, that's for sure.
Me: Yeah. ...I guess you are.
I turn to Shoutout. She was amazed.
Shoutout: Wow...
Me: I know, it's weird that I switched up just like that, but I guess seeing you in danger and knowing that you're the nice one kinda...yeah.
Shoutout: Thanks Drex.
Me: You're welcome kid.
Wait, what the hell am I doing?! Eh, screw it. I actually like this change.
Shoutout: So what made you turn into a villain anyway? I could've sworn Henry said something about you being Ray's sidekick.
Aaaaaaaand there it is. Can't turn back now.
Me: I was. However, we didn't agree on something.
Shoutout: What was it? And how come you got to know our identities?
Author's Note: what Drex is about to say next is actually something Cooper Barnes (who plays Ray) and Tommy Walker (who plays Drex) came up with. They actually talked about it in Comic Con 2018. Also adding events and notes in Henry Danger episodes that Drex was in.
Me: A while ago, I was some kid on the streets when Captain Man first arrived on the scene and he took me in. We used to go to Schneider's Bakery twice a week and, despite the fact that he's allergic to nuts, we got nut clusters. Everything was going well between us until I started insisting that we killed the villains, and understandably so, he didn't like that and like that Kyle guy mentioned, we had it out with burning buildings around us. If Ray wasn't indestructible, he would've lost, but he won. Then, I was put in jail for about 10 years. The only reason why I wasn't in jail for longer was because I was accidentally released by a child. I then set up a trap in the bakery and Ray fell for it. That's when I met Henry. I beat him the first time, but the second time, he got super fast reflexes and I lost. Then, they stopped me completely for a year. I couldn't talk, eat, move, pee...you get the idea. Once the power unfroze me, I then went back in time to prevent Ray from becoming Captain Man by taking away the one thing that made him: his indestructibility. I myself got indestructible, but Ray distracted me while Henry got young Ray in the densitizer. They then sent me 100,000,000 years into the past. During that time, I trained a caveman army to hate them and I froze us in ice until we got back to my time. Once I was unfrozen, I sent 3 cavemen to Henry's house while I went to the Man Cave. I trapped Ray, Schwoz and Bose while I waited for 2 more cavemen. I then released Bose and Schwoz. I got Schwoz to upgrade the memory wiper, Bose to be my hostage, Henry on the ground, Ray sent 101,000,000 years to the past and Schwoz to drive us to the Swellview Airport. From there, you know what happened.
Shoutout looked at me with a shocked face.
Shoutout: Wow, Kyle wasn't kidding.
Me: What do you mean?
Shoutout: I mean, you really were the best villain. And no, I'm not trying to encourage you to go back.
Me: Oh believe me, I don't want to.
???: You should! We'd have HOURS of fun!
We saw 4 villains in front of us. The Toddler was the only one I recognized, but I know he didn't say what was said.
Me: [whispers to Shoutout] I know the Toddler, but who are the other 3?
Shoutout: [whispers to me] The Time Jerker, Dr. Minyak and the Beekeeper. The Time Jerker was the one who said the time line. I think you used his inventions for your evil plans. Dr. Minyak is also a scientist and makes inventions. The Beekeeper was probably the one who released the hornets, mosquitoes and wasps. He uses bee puns the same way the Time Jerker uses time puns.
Ah. Wait a minute... I look around and Swellview was fixed. Well, for the most part.
Dr. Minyak: Stop planning and fight us already!
The Toddler: Yeah! It's getting late [demonically] and I'm getting cranky.
The Beekeeper: Yeah, stop being BUZZ kills!
???: Yeah, you're right. Let's get this zappathon going!
Red lightning suddenly strikes the gang of villains and that all fell down. They were unconscious. And there was only one possible explanation on what or who could've caused that: Volt.
Volt: Well that didn't last as long as I wanted it to.
Shoutout: Chapa!
Volt: Oh hey Mika. [She looks down to the villains.] Heh. Last time I faced these four in one go, Ray's and Henry's bush disguises were stuck to mine and I had to laser them.
Shoutout: When did that happen?
Volt: When we went to No Man's Land to get my cellphone back from Bose.
BOSE STOLE IT?!
Me: Wait, from BOSE?
Volt turned and looked at me.
Volt: Oh. Well look who it is. You know, I didn't get to zap you once during the last battle we had...
Shoutout: Chapa, no!
Volt: What?
Shoutout: He's helping me find Bose!
Volt: Wait, he's missing?
Shoutout: Yeah, he ran away!
Volt: Oh, so that's what Teddy meant by you two were back and only I needed permission.
Me: Teddy?
Shoutout: I'll explain later.
Me: Okay. I kinda want to hear about the phone situation though.
Volt: I gotchu. So eight years ago, I was taking selfies in the ball pit at Duke E. Dawgs. Then Bose walked up to me and asked-
Shoutout: WAIT! I think that's where he went! LET'S MOVE!
She runs toward Duke E. Dawgs.
Volt: You can't tell me their not dating even if they say they aren't.
Me: Wait, she didn't tell you?
Volt: What?
Me: They're official.
Chapa smirked.
Volt: [teasingly] Oh Mika!
She ran toward her.
Me: No! Don't make things weird!
I catch up to her. 15 minutes later, we can see the entrance of Duke E. Dawgs. We could've made it in 10 minutes, but 20 criminals got in our way. At this point, Swellview was completely fixed and I convinced Chapa to not make things weird for Mika. Anyway, Bose was sitting outside in front of the entrance. Mika was about to tear up as she ran toward him.
Volt: 10 bucks it becomes a smooch fest.
Me: Nah, I know it's going to happen.
