Jerry Tomcat and Brutis to the Rescue!
Dang, it sounds like something out of a kid show…
Nick was dazed and still confused, and then everything came back to him. "I put my guard down for a minute and I end up behind electric bars…" Nick searched his back for his fireblade but couldn't find it. He looked around and spotted it at the corner of the laboratory. "Damn it…they must've taken it off me while I was knocked out." Nick looked around and spotted Serena still knocked out from the attack. "Well hello Nick Fox!" Freakshow said in a low tone. Nick gave a low growl. "Freakshow…I have a score to settle with you…" "Oh calm yourself, enjoy the show!" Dr. Freakshow said. He motioned his mutant guards to bring in a hostage, a young child, no older than eight years old. They strapped her in, speechless in fear. They pulled some switches and pressed buttons and soon the sound of the machine could be heard. Nick heard a scream, which turned into a roaring sound. He looked to find the poor innocent kid, mutated into a giant alligator like monster. Nick couldn't help this sudden feeling of rage pouring inside his heart…he felt strange like something wanted to burst out of him.
Jerry waited impatiently for Nick to respond. "He hasn't responded for a good three hours now." Brutis said arrogantly. "What if Nick got captured?" Jerry wailed. "He could be getting experimented on or even dissected!" Brutis shook Jerry. "Get a hold of yourself!" Brutis cried. "No one is getting dissected, because we're going to save them!" Jerry's eyes were filled with terror. "I've never been out in the field before!" "Well better get suited up because whether you like it or not, you're coming!"
Serena's vision was still a little blurry but she got up and felt a little dizzy. "What happened?" Serena asked. "We were attacked by Muggshot when we least expected it." Nick answered. Serena felt a little light headed and clenched her sides in pain. Nick walked over. "Are you alright?" Nick asked. Serena shook her head and rolled over in pain. Nick shook his head and felt a little light headed too. "Feeling dizzy?" Freakshow asked. "Well, I injected something into both of you. A little poison never hurt anyone, except this makes your stomach burn as though you were being cooked at 500 degrees! Then slowly creeps up to your heart and burns it to ashes! You'll slowly and painfully die, and I happen to have the antidote." Nick saw his vision starting to get blurry and he felt sick, his stomach felt like a turkey on Thanksgiving, burning in an oven.
Jerry and Brutis were sneaking carefully towards Freakshow's fortress. Jerry saw that the drawbridge was closed. "Well, the drawbridge is closed, let's just call it a day and get out of here!" "That's plain nonsense! There has to be another way in…" Brutis moaned. He looked around and spotted an air vent, big enough for him and Jerry to go through. "Hey Jerry, I found an air vent over there!" Brutis called. "It should take us into his castle." He punched the locks on the vent off and crawled in with Jerry not to close behind. They looked through the hole at the bottom of the vent and spotted Freakshow and Muggshot, talking about something. "Freakshow, this new upgrade you gave me is terrific!" Muggshot said in a joyful voice. "And the way you planned to take out them brats was brilliant!" Freakshow just sighed. "Muggshot I'm afraid I have to dispose of you now…" Muggshot jerked his head back. "What do ya mean?" "You're no use to me anymore…" Freakshow replied. "I placed a bomb that will incinerate you in the next five seconds…four…three…two…one…" Muggshot felt a burning sensation in his stomach and he disintegrated from the inside out. All that was left was a pool of blood. Brutis gasped silently and Jerry cupped his hands over his mouth to block out his scream. The two turned a corner in the vents and spotted Nick and Serena lying on the ground in pain. "Brutis, we have to get them out of there!" Jerry cried and tried to hold in his tears. Brutis took out a rope from his backpack and slid it down the hole in the vents. Jerry slid down and noticed a bright green vile labeled antidote. He took out his RC car and moved it towards the vile. Jerry activated the claw and it swiftly grabbed the antidote. The RC then veered back to Jerry, he grabbed the antidote and poured it into Nick's mouth, then into Serena's mouth. They coughed and sputtered as the antidote stopped the poison from burning their insides. Nick and Serena jumped up and spotted Jerry holding the antidote and their things (Did I mention that he also got their stuff?). Nick smirked. "Well Jerry, that's impressive for your first time out on the field." Serena fox ears stiffened as she heard the footsteps of one of the guards. "Someone's coming!" Serena whispered. They climbed up the rope and escaped just in time. Nick heard the frustrated cries of Freakshow as he found the cell empty.
Outside, Jerry gave Nick back his fireblade and other ninja tools. "Thanks a lot Jerry." Nick said, giving Jerry a smile. Jerry handed back Serena her things. Nick noticed a blade similar to his only it was shining a bright blue color. "Thanks Jerry…" Serena said, with a little ignorance in her voice. Nick walked up and took a closer look. "That's the Iceblade!" Nick cried. Serena cocked an eyebrow. "Yeah, it's the Iceblade. It's been in my family for generations, like your Fireblade." Nick shrugged and signaled for everyone to get back to the hideout.
