"Oh, shit."

Mullion walks Kayo and Fermat to a door in the Tracy house. "What are you doing?" asks Kayo.

"Oh, no! Not the fridge!" cries Fermat as he realises were they are going. The ridge door opens to reveal Sally, and Brains.

"Kayo!" exclaims Sally.

"Hey son," says Brains.

"Are you okay?" asks Sally worried.

"I'm fine, Mrs Tracy," lies Kayo.

Just before Mullion grabs Fermat away from Brains and has him sit down on a container "Cool off, kid," he laughs evilly as he walks out of the fridge and closes the door on the way out.

After a few hours of flying Parker and Lady Penelope are now on final approach to Tracy Island. "Tracy Island approaching, milady. Switching to aqua mode," says Parker

"Isn't life fun, sometimes?" wonders Penelope.

"Rib-tickling, milady," answers Parker.

At that moment Transom and The Hood in Command and Control getting an alarm that an aircraft is approaching Tracy Island.

"What is it?" demands The Hood.

"We have an unidentified craft approaching the island at high speed," replies Transom.

At Thunderbird 5 the temperature carries on rising, "Phew! Somebody roll down a window. It's getting a little hot in here," says Jeff.

"Re-entry into Earth's atmosphere in 37 minutes but oxygen's out in 30 so we won't feel it," says Virgil.

"Stop it!" says Scott.

"Come on, Scott, the situation's hopeless," exclaims Gordon.

"No, it's not. There's still time. We've got people on the ground working for us," says Jeff trying to stay confident.

"Alan? He's just a kid!" says John.

"He's a Tracy."

Alan is now running through the forest and then to Lady Penelope and Parker walking up to the Tracy house.

"This doesn't look good, Parker," remarks Penelope.

"No, milady."

"That bougainvillea is absolutely parched, and someone should do something about that hideous hammock," says Penelope.

At this point The Hood sees Lady Penelope and Parker "Whom do we have here? Mullion," he orders.

"I must warn you that I know judo, krai magna, and tae kwon do," says Mullion confidently.

"And I know Parker," finishes Penelope.

With that Parker punches Mullion in the face and brakes his nose. "Yes, that was very much the intention of the maneuver," says Parker.

Transom then tries to attack Lady Penelope and Lady Penelope pushes her over "Whoa!"

"One tries so hard in life to sort things out on an intellectual-slash-conversational level. Sometimes it's just not possible," Penelope points out and she continues to fight Transom and Parker continues to fight Mullion, the Hood is watching them. Mullion then finally throws Parker against a metal cabinet "Shall I bring the car around, milady?"

"Parker, have a bit of a lie-down," she replies.

Parker sees Mullion behind Lady Penelope "Excuse me, milady," and punches him and after that has no effect he picks up a frying pan and hits Mullion, while Transom goes back to fighting Lady Penelope and Mullion is fighting Parker.

"Ah, Lady Penelope! Of course he has his palace. Why not his princess?" asks The Hood.

"Flattery will get you nowhere," she replies as she blocks the metal bar that Transom was trying to hit her with "Ow! Have you any idea what a manicure costs these days?"

Parker is now pushing Mullion forward "Coming through, milady." At this point Alan arrives and decides to hide behind some shrubs to watch the fight.

The Hood then throws a sofa at them "Duck, milady!" cries Parker.

"He's weak. Using his strength makes him weak," comments Alan and then The Hood, having heard something looks over toward where Alan. "You're formidable opponent Lady Penelope. More than a match for most men," comments The Hood.

"That's not saying much, then, is it?" replies Penelope.

The Hood uses his powers to stop the punch that Parker was about to throw at him "I suggest you let us pass," he says.

"Don't try your parlor games on me you sad, little man. You've committed a serious crime trespassing on this island. And in about..." Penelope starts and looks at Parker's watch "...four seconds, I'm going to get quite cross with you," she continues but again The Hood grabs her foot which was about to come up and kick him.

With his back still to Alan The Hood says "How are you, Alan?" and he makes his goons inflict pain onto Parker and Lady Penelope causing them to cry out. Alan moves to run back into the jungle I hope you don't think I'm going to chase you," he continues and makes his goons do the same on Parker and Lady Penelope so they cry out in pain again "You can make it stop, Alan," as Parker and Lady Penelope cry out again "You have something that belongs to me."

"Really, sir, don't mind me. This isn't the first time my head's been pulverized. And it's never done any real harm before," says Parker talking to Alan but The Hood once again gets his goons to do their thing and they cry out in pain louder this time.

So Alan comes out of his hiding place "Stop! Stop! I'll give it to you," and throws the guidance processor toward the pool "Fetch!" but The Hood had someone by the pool who Alan couldn't see and they managed to grab it before it fell into the water.

"You made a match of it, Alan, I'll give you that," he says then turns to Mullion and Transom "Put them with the others," and Transom grabs Parker.

Mullion turns to Lady Penelope and Alan "You're coming with me," and grabs Alan's arms and throws Lady Penelope over his shoulder.

"Put me down! This outfit is couture," screams Penelope as she and Alan are taken to the fridge.

"You need to cool off, milady," says Mullion mocking Parker.

"Lady Penelope!" cries Kayo.

"Big oaf!" Penelope says to Mullion before the fridge door closes leaving them trapped "Right, that's quite enough losing for one day."

"So, how does it feel to be right all the time?" asks Alan turning to Fermat to avoid eye-contact with Kayo as he doesn't want her to blow up in front of everyone after he said before she got captured.

"Not b-bad, actually."

"I'm so sorry, Fermat," replies Alan.

"We make quite a pair. It's hard for me to t-t-talk. It's hard for you to l-l-listen," jokes Fermat.

"Parker, I have an idea," exclaims Penelope.

"Excellent, milady."

"Brains, how long do Jeff and the boys have?" asks Penelope.

"I can't think. I'm too c-c-cold," replies Brains.

While this is happening Transom, Mullion, and The Hood in Thunderbird 2 about to leave Tracy Island. "The guidance processor has been installed," confirms Transom "Thunderbird 2 is ready for takeoff."

"What is our ETA?" orders The Hood.

"Around an hour. Bank of London, here we come!" says Mullion excitedly.

5...

"We've got to be quick. The Hood's getting away," calls Alan.

"In position, milady," says Parker.

"Here we go."

4...

Lady Penelope kicks her shoe at an icicle which falls and cuts through the ropes tying Parker's hands together.

"Yes!" says Alan.

"Good shot, milady," compliments Parker.

Penelope and Parker start untying everyone "Come on, Parker. Let's give the bad guys a good thrashing!" calls Penelope.

3...

Parker starts to try and to figure out how to open the door "This seems to be a six-lever mortise, milady," he says.

"I love it when your checkered past comes in handy Parker," says Penelope.

"Thank you, milady. Unfortunately, I fear I shall need a piece of wire to access the mechanism," says Parker before Lady Penelope's hand goes up shirt to get her bra wire and everyone turns around.

2...

"Will this suffice, Parker?" she asks.

"Most certainly, milady," says Parker.

"I didn't actually need it, anyway," says Penelope.

"Of course not, milady," says Parker and gets the door open.

1...

"Quick! They're getting away," calls Fermat.

"Okay, everyone get to the control room," shouts Alan as Fermat hands Parker his hat and runs with everyone into the Command and Control room "Get in there quick, Fermat, and save my family. Then we'll get The Hood. Good luck!" says Alan.

"Looks like they slipped a backdoor key into the access codes," says Fermat.

"I'll follow your lead, son," replies Brains.

Penny turns on the video phone to talk with Thunderbird 5 "Thunderbird 5 come in. Thunderbird 5 come in."

"How long have they got before re-entry?" asks Alan.

"90 seconds and counting," says Fermat "Okay, I just need someone on their end to confirm the access protocol.'"

"Thunderbird 5 come in," asks Brains.

"Dad, come on are we coming through?" asks Alan.

"Mr. Tracy, can you hear me? Come in," asks Brains.

"Thunderbird 5 come in," says Penelope.

"Dad, come on!" cries Alan.

"Mr. Tracy, can you hear me? Come in," says Brains.

"Dad!"

"How long have they got?" asks Kayo.

"45 seconds until re-entry," says Fermat.

"Damn it, Jeff! Wake the fuck up!" shouts Brains.

"I think that's the first time you've ever called me by my first name, Brains. Thanks for waking me," says Jeff as he wakes up from the lack of oxygen.

"Dad!" cries Alan.

"Alan! Well done."

"Mr. Tracy, confirm access protocol," interrupts Fermat.

"Confirmed. We are back online," says John.

"Gravity is restored. Put Thunderbird f-f- your craft into geostational orbit immediately," orders Brains.

"FAB, Brains. And it looks like we're good to go," says Virgil.

"Dad, are you all right?" asks Alan.

"We're fine. We still have a job to do. Where's The Hood?" asks Jeff.

"He's in Thunderbird 2 Mr. Tracy headed for L-L-L" Brains starts.

"London," Penelope finishes.

"She's right," confirms Brains.

"He's got the Mole on board," says Fermat.

"Looks like Thunderbird 3 lost a booster, Dad. We'll never get there in time," says Scott.

"Let me go after The Hood. He'll destroy everything you've built everything the Thunderbirds stand for," says Alan confidently.

"Negative. I'm sorry it's too risky," replies Jeff.

"I can do this. You know I can. What am I saying?" and Alan puts his arms around Kayo and Fermat and a small blush appears on his cheeks when he touches Kayo before saying "We can do this."

"Okay, Alan. We'll meet you there. Thunderbirds are go!" says Jeff.

"FAB!"

Jeff then turns to his four other sons' on "Okay, boys, we are outta here," and helps John to walk.

"Are we really going?" asks Kayo.

"Y-Y-Yeah," Alan stutters to Fermats amusement.

"Oh, boy!" replies Kayo.

"You ready, Fermat?" asks Alan giving him the death glare.

"N-n- I guess!" Fermat says trying to hold his laugh.

Soon Alan, Fermat, Kayo, and Lady Penelope in Thunderbird 1 with Alan and Fermat at the controls.

"Flight controls are green," says Fermat

"Anti-detection shield activated"

"Hydraulic systems are good," comments Fermat.

"Right. Set primary fuel pumps. Main engine start," announces Alan

Penny turn to Kayo before saying "Don't boys just love their toys?"

"Complete," says Alan.

Thunderbirds are Go!

March 30th 2058 - 10:31 GMT

Thunderbird 2 arrives London heading towards Tower Bridge on the Inner-City-Ring-Road (A100).

"Get the bridge up! Get the bridge up!" shouts a worker as they quickly raise the bridge.

"Thunderbird 1 come in," says Brains.

"Roger, Brains," says Alan.

"Situation update, Thunderbird 3 is about to initiate separation," tells Brains.

"FAB!" says Alan and Fermat in unison.

"Boys, Thunderbird 2 is in final approach to London," Penelope says.

"I know The Hood's weakness, Fermat. I can stop him if we get there in time," Alan says.

"Stand by. We're going to maximum thrust, 15,000mph."

On the BBC news they start to broadcast about the incident involving TB2 "We're getting reports of some kind of incident in London involving the Thunderbirds. Lisa, are you there?" asks Chuck.

"Chuck, I'm here in Jubilee Gardens where Thunderbird 2 has made an imprompt landing, causing total panic in Central London. As far as we know there has been no emergency call from this area so it's unclear why Thunderbird 2 would be active here at all. I don't know if you can see this Chuck but Thunderbird 2 seems to be unloading some kind of machine," says Lisa.

Inside the Mole with Transom, Mullion, and The Hood set a course for the vault.

"Sir, if we continue on our present course, we'll sever the monorail's subterranean supports. Shall I correct our position?" asks Transom.

"Stay on course," orders The Hood.

"But sir, we'll cause a major disaster," points out Transom.

"No, we won't. The Thunderbirds will."

And with that The Mole severs the subterranean support leaving one monorail car stranded in the air.

At Jubilee Gardens Thunderbird 1 goes in to land.

"Let's get her down, boys," says Penny

"Initiate landing, Fermat," says Alan.

"Right."

"Retros at 75 flaps to 160."

"You're going too fast."

"Thanks. Retros to 90."

With that Thunderbird 1 safely lands.

"Textbook, boys," comments Penny she starts talking to Parker on her cell phone. "Parker, meet me at the Bank of London."

"Yes, milady,'" he replies.

Alan, Kayo, and Fermat run to Thunderbird 2. "The Hood's getting away," says Alan.

"Those people can't hold on much longer," calls Kayo.

"What are we gonna do, Alan?" asks Fermat.

"We're the Thunderbirds. Our duty is to save those people. Brains, we're going into the accident zone," confirms Alan.

"FAB, Thunderbird 2 and good luck," replies Brains.

Just as Brains says that the monorail falls into the River Thames "Brains, the monorail is down. Repeat, the monorail is down!" shouts Alan.
