Chapter 3

A Plot Unfolded

On Planet Orxon Drek was walking with his goons and they were determined to find the Golden Protopet in the factory. The environment was very suffocating, literally the atmosphere was based of nitrogen and is a nightmare for oxygen breathing creatures. A little science lesson but Drek and his goons had O2 masks and they made their way to the other end past the nitrous oxide based lava. Five miles later they made their way to the Protopet Factory and the place was ransacked with Galactic Police tape all around the factory.

"OK let's look for that Protopet!" ordered Drek, "I know that that thing is around here somewhere."

It took a long while to search the rubble and long after Drek found Dr. Fizzwidget's laboratory which was barricaded by a toppled wall.

Drek ordered his goons to remove the wall since they had muscles that could lift the factory off the ground and Drek made his way inside of the laboratory. It was tough looking for the Golden Protopet but there was a safe in the back of the lab. One of the goons ripped the safe off the hinges and then there was a shimmering of gold that blinded Drek and his goons.

"Ha ha ha ha there it is boys, the Golden Protopet!" declared Drek as he looked at the Protopet who was in a birdcage made for a protopet's body. "Agent Clank won't know what hit him."

With one quick motion Drek took the cage and they teleported to their ship and boarded as Drek was making his evil laughter back into the deepest and coldest trenches of space.

Meanwhile on Planet Metropolis, Agent Clank made his way to Big Al's Robo-Shack and Big Al was working on his latest invention.

"It's good that you are okay I was hoping I didn't have to go to pick up your scraps," said Big Al impatiently.

Agent Clank was disappointed that he didn't catch the thieves as he was looking out the window at the city of Metropolis where there was a commute and everyone was honking their horns like it was New Year's.

"You know its hard being this small because noone respects you," said Agent Clank.

"Awww come on I'm jus' kidding look you'll do good on another case," said Big Al reassuringly.

Agent Clank nodded his head and turned on the plasma TV and saw the news, which was talking about the recent hoverbike race in Blackwater City.

"And in other news," said the reporter, "the recent news of the new protopet factory being destroyed has a new complication the Golden Protopet which was created by a freak accident was stolen earlier today. Galactic Police say that the perpetrators are very much unknown but there will be more information on this story when we receive some."

Agent Clank turned off the TV and looked at Big Al who stopped working and was shocked. Before they could say anything the TV rung. The TV was also a communication device that you can see the person you're talking to. They answered it and it was Dr. Fizzwidget.

"Big Al and Agent Clank boy am I glad to see you guys!" said Dr. Fizzwidget, "As you might've heard the Golden Protopet has been stolen and I might have a lead of who might be behind this."

"WHO!" yelled Agent Clank and Big Al at the same time.

"Drek," said Dr. Fizzwidget.

Agent Clank and Dr. Fizzwidget looked at each other in complete shock and felt a feeling of relief. But the plot was just unfolding and Dr. Fizzwidget gave them a possible lead in Blackwater City because Drek mysteriously wins all of his bets in the hoverbike races. Then they said goodbye to Dr. Fizzwidget and Agent Clank made his way toward his space cruiser, and he made his way to Blackwater City.

In the next chapter… Agent Clank goes to Blackwater City only to meet a mysterious girl who is his new love interest and Agent Clank investigates the growing plot of the Golden Protopet.
