"Boy, am I tired," Mickey Mouse said.
"Do you want to have a quick rest, then?" asked his new friend Cy-Cass, who was half cassowary and half cyborg. "I need one myself, to tell you the truth."
Mickey had to admit he was getting tired, so he sat down on the biggest rock next to Cy-Cass and he thankfully took the slice of bread and the lump of cheese she kindly offered to him out of her blue rucksack.
It had been two days since Mickey and his girlfriend Minnie Mouse got separated. They were having their lovely, well-needed picnic in Mouston Park after both of them along with their friends lost their jobs before they were captured and taken away by electricity monsters. Mickey woke up to find himself in a well-hidden factory by those monsters and that Minnie wasn't with him. Then he was brought to the monsters' leader Lady Daja, who was a golden dart frog sorceress and he was about to be turned into an electricity monster himself to join her army, but he got rescued by his new friend and Daja's archnemesis Cy-Cass. Since they escaped that terrible factory, they had been searching for Minnie and their pets: Mickey's dog Pluto and Minnie's cat Figaro and dog Fifi.
Even though he knew he and Cy-Cass were doing everything they could in their power and control to find his girlfriend and the missing pets, the more lack of results they were getting, the more Mickey was fearing for the worst of never ever seeing his beloved Minnie or his beloved dog Pluto ever again.
"Don't give up, Mickey," Cy-Cass said. "I know we're not getting results now, but we won't get any if we just give up right now."
"Yeah, I know." Mickey sighed. "And I know we're doing our very best." Then he saw her take off her brown jacket and then fiddle with her metal wing. Then he was surprised when he saw something coming out of it.
"Is that some sort of map, Cy-Cass?" Mickey asked.
"It is, indeed, Mickey." Then Cy-Cass explained that it was a blue hologram map and it was a map showing the entire state of Mouseton. When he looked at it, he immediately recognized it and saw how right she was. He noticed the red flashing dot on the map was saying that they were still in the giant countryside of Mouseton, which they were.
"This is what I've been using to keep track on where we've been and where we need to go next," Cy-Cass explained further.
Then a beep came from Cy-Cass's map and another red thing popped up, but it wasn't another red dot; it looked like a small red building.
"What does that mean, Cy-Cass?" Mickey asked.
"I don't know," she replied. "This had never happened before. All I can make out of this is that this could be one of the factories hiding ten minutes away."
"Oh, boy!" Mickey cried happily. "We've finally found Minnie! Come on!"
"Don't get your hopes up too high, Mickey," Cy-Cass said. "We don't even know if this place is even a place at all, let alone the hidden factory that's holding Minnie."
Mickey was confused. "But from what you told me according to your map, we're making further progress than ever before."
"True, but I must admit even my gadgets have been wrong before," Cy-Cass said, "so I can't fully trust them."
"Why don't you even fully trust them if you invented them?" Mickey asked.
"That's the thing, Mickey," Cy-Cass said. "I didn't invent them."
"Well, who did? Was it another one of your friends?"
"Cy-Rangers, Mickey. They were my fellow Cy-Rangers and we were a team, but we weren't really friends."
"Why didn't you leave if you weren't friends with them?" Mickey asked.
"Because something happened to me happened to me before I could remember and the leader of the Cy-Rangers took me in when my own family died and when no one would and gave me these cyborg parts and trained me to help the world the best way I can. I stayed with the team because I was and still am indebted to the leader for everything she taught me."
"Did your leader make all those parts you have herself?"
"Most of them," Cy-Cass said. "But there was this other Cy-Ranger who was a technical genius and she modified them."
"From the sound of it, the only thing you and the other Cy-Rangers liked in common was your leader," Mickey said.
Cy-Cass sighed. "Yes, that's correct. We were raised together by our leader, who was a mother to us and raised us like we were her own daughters. We tried to get on like sisters, but we never really bonded. Even on missions together, we had different ways of thinking and achieving them and did our own thing."
"Hey, Cy-Cass, is that another electricity monster?" Mickey asked.
Cy-Cass looked ahead and saw that Mickey was right. That was an electricity monster walking away. She immediately put her jacket back on as she got up. "Come on, Mickey, let's follow him."
Mickey and Cy-Cass followed that electricity monster and he led them to the factory in ten minutes exactly like the map said. They continued to follow him and he led them into giant bushes and there was some sort of metal door where two more electricity monsters were guarding it. They hid behind a bush as they watched the monster they followed go through the metal door.
"We need to find a way to send the guards away," Cy-Cass said.
"How?"
They got thinking.
"I got an idea, Mickey," Cy-Cass said. "You see those battery chargers?"
Mickey looked at where she was pointing and saw them hiding under a bush. "Yeah, I see them. What's your plan?"
"This is my plan." Then she whispered into his ear.
"Battery chargers! Free sample!"
Mickey and Cy-Cass were wearing business suits to disguise themselves as a salesmen and a saleswoman. They were carrying battery chargers in their hands. They approached the two electricity monster guards.
"Battery chargers! Free sample!" they repeated to the guards.
"Oh, yeah?" said one of the guards. "We'll see about it that. You go and check it out, mate."
The second guard passed Mickey and Cy-Cass and snatched one of the power chargers. He connected the wires to himself, turned the machine on and he laughed when it charged him up. He liked it. "It's great, mate!" he called to the other guard.
"Out of my way!" he yelled at Mickey and Cy-Cass, as he snatched the battery charger. He connected it to himself and turned it on and he enjoyed it as much as the other guard. Then they immediately froze and their power went down.
"Are they dead?" Mickey asked.
"No, I just drained their power energy," Cy-Cass said. "It's like they've taken sleeping pills. Now, come on before they recharge and wake up again."
Cy-Cass and Mickey went to their metal door and found a metal keypad next to it. She took a metal feather off her metal wing, slammed the feather into the keypad and the door opened. Then she grabbed the feather and Mickey and ran into the factory before it closed again.
"This feather is what I call an overriding feather," Cy-Cass explained to Mickey. "It helps me to override anything I need to."
"Another gadget made by that same colleague?" Mickey asked.
"Yes. Now, come on. Let's see if we can find Minnie in here."
Mickey gladly followed Cy-Cass as they looked for Minnie into the vast factory.
