In the some what early hours of the morning, Max and Zet decide to order breakfast at a restaurant, at their new stop which is Ganymade, a place where the people are busy, the buildings are beautiful, and the food is rare. Their next bounty head who goes by the name Norgan is there wanting to eat some thing too.
ZET: (looking at the menu) The specialty here is sea root.
ZET: It was once a stable food.
ZET: Harvested in the Ganymade river.
ZET: After the pollution levels stabilized, sea root wasn't scarce any more.
ZET: People stopped eating it because the eco nerds claimed the sea root to be a fragile sea source.
MAX: (looking at the menu) What else?
MAX: (holding the menu in his hands) Is it tasty?
ZET: It's discusting.
ZET: People eat it any way.
MAX: (handing the menu to the waiter) Well in that case, i guess i'll have the measles stu please!
WAITER: (taking the menu) Very good and what about you?
ZET: (handing the menu to the waiter) I'll have what he's having.
WAITER: (taking the menu) Excellent choice.
WAITER: (walking away) Coming right up.
MAX: I wanted to order the most expensive thing on the menu.
ZET: Because you think that once we catch this bad dude, we'll be rich.
MAX: You read my mind and my stomach.
Max and Zet look around and both spot Norgan eating noodles with a bunch of other people, at a different table a few feet away.
ZET: Yeah that's Norgan alright.
MAX: Should we just grab him and forget about breakfast?
NORGAN: (yelling) WHERE'S MY SEA ROOT?
Also eating at the restaurant are the Eco Warriors, a group of eco-criminals, with their leader Maria Mardock. Maria and a few of her hench men wearing treecko masks then walk up to Norgan's table while he is with 4 women, eating his breakfast. The Eco Warriors confront Norgan when he boisterously demands his sea root.
OLD WOMAN: Young man, are you aware that the sea root is a very intelligent plant?
MAX: Who's that?
ZET: That woman, who is she?
NORGAN: Well i didn't know the circus was in town.
They pull out machine guns and open fire on every one at his table and around the restaurant.
BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!
They drop a canister behind that emits a hologram and an up beat tune with a male's voice: "Attention! We the Eco Warriors are eco-soldiers who work night and day to preserve the environment and protect endangered plants and species all over the universe. Thank you for your cooperation.".
ZET: I knew i've heard of her from some where.
MAX: Huh!
ZET: Max, that old cougar has a 25000 dollar bounty reward on her head.
MAX: (running toward her with drull coming out of his mouth) Happy birthday to us.
Just before they calmly and slowly try to exit the restaurant, Max catches them at gun point.
MAX: (pointing his gun at Maria's head) Stop right there!
The other 4 men that are with Maria start to get nervous.
MAX: (pointing his gun at Maria's head) Take it easy!
MAX: (pointing his gun at Maria's head) You wouldn't want to see your mother get hurt, now would you?
ONE OF MARIA'S HENCH MEN: (holding a big gun in his hands) You let her go!
MAX: (yelling, talking, and pointing his gun at Maria's head) HEY ZET, how's our boy Norgan doing?
ZET: (standing close to the table where Norgan was sitting) He's all full of holes.
MAX: (pointing his gun at Maria's head) Thanks to you we lost our reward.
MAX: (pointing his gun at Maria's head) Lucky us, you're worth a lot more.
MAX: (pointing his gun at Maria's head) 25000 dollars will buy a lot of measle stu.
ONE OF MARIA'S HENCH MEN: (holding a big gun in his hands) If you hurt her, will do some thing bad.
MARIA: Stand down!
MARIA: These are professional Bad Dude Bounty Hunters.
MARIA: There's nothing we can do for now.
Max stops pointing his gun at Maria's head.
ONE OF MARIA'S HENCH MEN: (yelling and holding a big gun in his hands) MOM!
MARIA: Take care of the base while i'm away!
MARIA: I'll be back in no time.
MAX: (holding his gun in his hand) Better hit the road boys.
MAX: (holding his gun in his hand) You don't want to be here when the police show up.
ONE OF MARIA'S HENCH MEN: (holding a big gun in his hands) No ma.
MARIA: Oh Harrison.
MARIA: You'll get your punishment later when i return.
HARRISON: (yelling, taking off his treecko mask, and holding a big gun in his hand) MOTHER!
The 4 treecko mask wearing weirdos are forced to leave with out their leader while Max and Zet are forced to leave with out Norgan because he's been killed.
MAX: It's Harrison's lucky day, cause mama won't be back for quite some time.
Else where, Vivi finds a man named Gatt, about to die from a gun shot wound in an alley. He was a mole working for the IKP that infiltrated the Eco Warriors and stole a sample of a virus. He asks Vivi to deliver a case containing the virus to the IKP with out telling Vivi what it is and telling her not to open it. Vivi curiously opens the case, unknowingly of what it holds.
VIVI: (running up to the dying man in the alley) Are you okay?
GATT: (handing over the case to Vivi) Take this to the IKP and don't open it!
Gatt then dies in Vivi's arms.
VIVI: (holding the case and Gatt in her arms) Wait a minute.
VIVI: (holding the case and Gatt in her arms) Hold on.
VIVI: (yelling and holding the case and Gatt in her arms) WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO WITH THIS THING?
Back at camp, Zet tells Max about the Eco Warriors group. Maria is hand cuffed to a tree.
ZET: The Eco Warriors were once a dedicated group of people that wanted to help nature, but a few years ago the group got a new leader and then things changed.
ZET: Most of the members dropped out.
ZET: Those that were left behind started acting like crime syndicate members.
ZET: They had their own special connection with the Ganymade sea roots and guess who's in charge of these eco criminals.
ZET: Maria Mardock.
MARIA: Please don't compare us to modern criminals!
MARIA: We are warriors of peace for the good fight for nature.
MAX: Yeah yeah!
MAX: We saw how peaceful you and your boys were when they turned Norgan into swiss cheese.
MAX: So how do we pick up the reward Zet?
ZET: At the Ganymade Police Department.
ZET: However, i got some bad news.
ZET: I just got off the phone with Officer Jenny and she said the government canceled the reward money for our bounty head.
MAX: Why the heck did they do that?
ZET: I don't know.
The bount on Maria Mardock is dropped when the Ganymade IKP chief minister negotiates with the Eco Warriors who threaten to release the virus unless the IKP brings them back Maria, whom they affectionately call Mom.
Else where, in the woods, Vivi opens the box she was told not to and finds a shell with the virus sample in it. After a few minutes of riding her bike in the woods, she accidentally rides into Max and Zet's campsite. Max and Zet tackle her while she's on her bike before she can get away and hand cuffs her to a tree. A few moments later, they discuss business with her and Maria. Vivi reveals that she lost their money she grabbed from the thug in the park.
MAX: So that's what happened.
MAX: You lost all the money you stole from us.
Max screams at the top of his lungs and nearly rips out his hair.
MAX: (yelling furiously) ME, ZET, AND POOCHYENA COULD'VE HAD 10000 DOLLARS EACH.
VIVI: Calm down!
VIVI: You know what they say bad dude bounty hunter.
VIVI: Easy come easy go.
MAX: They also say there's no honor among thieves.
MAX: Have you got any more info from Officer Jenny Zet?
ZET: Nothing at all.
ZET: I know an old friend of mine from Ganymade and i'll try to reach him soon.
Max rummages through Vivi's back pack and finds the virus sample, catching Maria's attention, but no one else's. After twisting and stomping on the protective glass of the virus, Max takes his gun and shoots the shell that unknowingly protects the virus inside, twice.
BANG BANG!
The 2 bullets only cracks the protective glass.
Zet contacts his old friend, Bob, who is a part of the IKP in Ganymade. At first Bob won't talk about the canceled bounty, but Zet black mails him by implying that he knew Bob stole confiscated "illegal eye drops" (possibly pinky eye drops) back when Zet and Bob worked in the same department. Bob gives in and tells Zet that the Eco Warriors are holding the inhabitants of Ganymade hostage with a new virus called "monkey virus" that affects the 2% difference between the human and monkey DNA structure and mutates all humans into monkey pokemon while leaving all other pokemon and plants unharmed. Zet then hangs up the cell phone and gives Max the bad news.
ZET: We're taking her back to her treecko mask wearing weirdos.
MARIA: (laughing evily) Ha ha ha ha ha!
With out a bounty to collect, Max and Zet along with Vivi and Maria bike over to the Eco Warriors' base in the woods, 3 miles away from camp and release Maria Mardock, but not before Max covertly slips the virus into Maria's pocket (possibly aware of it's contents from watching Maria while he shot its protective shell).
Back in negotiations, the chief minister says he passed a bill to limit the harvesting of sea roots, but Maria wanted to prohibit sea root harvesting. She decides to demonstrate the virus's power by releasing it into Ganymade.
Zet looks at the sky, all by himself in the woods when he gets a cell call on his walkie talkie cell phone from Bob.
ZET: (picking up his walkie talkie cell phone radio) Hello!
BOB: (talking on the other line) Zet, can you hear me?
BOB: (talking on the other line) Tune into frequency 72 on your walkie talkie cell phone radio after you hang up with me now!
ZET: (talking on his walkie talkie cell phone radio) Huh!
BOB: (talking on the other line) They're doing a live audio broadcast from their own satellite.
Zet text messages Max and tells him to tune into the same frequency and to try to track the signal from where the audio broadcast is coming from. Max and Zet manage to listen to the audio broadcast just when it's getting started.
MARIA: (talking over her satellite) This is no longer about sea roots or Ganymade.
MARIA: (talking over her satellite) You absurd humans have strayed away from the last system we call nature.
MARIA: (talking over her satellite) Nature's pleads for help can not go unanswered.
MARIA: (talking over her satellite) Those who are unaware of this are what you might call glitches in the natural system or to put it simply, eco idiots.
Max and Zet hang up after the speech ends. Else where, IKP Cruisers pursue the Eco Warriors' van into the waste land sector of the woods, but learns the van is a decoy when the van explodes and takes them out with it. Zet then calls Max.
MAX: (picking up his walkie talkie radio cell phone) Hello!
ZET: (talking on his walkie talkie cell phone radio) Where are they now?
MAX: (talking on his walkie talkie cell phone radio) In the waste land sector of the woods.
MAX: (talking on his walkie talkie cell phone radio) I'm heading in that direction now and don't worry about Vivi.
MAX: (talking on his walkie talkie cell phone radio) I've got her tied up to another tree with poochyena guarding her.
Max hangs up. He gets on his bike and goes to collect the recently reposted bounty on the Eco Warriors and to stop the virus before it hits Ganymade. Vivi manages to uncuff herself and some how manages to out run poochyena to her bike and then rides off to find Max.
When Max gets to the waste land sector of the woods, he notices a small satellite setup a few yards away from the 3 missles that have the virus inside that are about to be lauched into Ganymade with timers ticking on them. He also notices there is no one at the launch site. He manages to take out two missiles with his guns, but can't shoot out the third missile since his guns can only hold 8 bullets each and he used 7 bullets on each missile which is a total of 14 bullets he used, not including the other 2 bullets he used fooling around. Vivi arrives at the lauch site and offers Max some help for a price that is high.
VIVI: (riding up to Max at the launch site) Having a little trouble?
MAX: (holding a gun in each hand) Huh!
VIVI: (siting on her bike) I could bail you out for 80%.
MAX: (yelling and holding a gun in each hand) YOU'RE INSANE.
VIVI: (siting on her bike) Okay!
VIVI: (acting like she is going to ride off on her bike) Bye bye then.
MAX: (yelling and holding a gun in each hand) ALRIGHT 40%, BUT THAT'S MY LAST OFFER.
VIVI: (siting on her bike) Okay!
VIVI: (siting on her bike) I get 60.
MAX: (yelling and holding a gun in each hand) THAT'S NOT WHAT I MENT.
VIVI: (acting like she is going to ride off on her bike again) What did you mean my deal making slave?
MAX: (yelling and holding a gun in each hand) ALRIGHT!
MAX: (yelling and holding a gun in each hand) YOU CAN HAVE 60% OF THE REWARD MONEY AND I'M NOT YOUR DEAL MAKING SLAVE WINSTRATE.
MAX: (yelling and holding a gun in each hand) JUST SHOOT THE MISSILE OUT WITH THE GUN YOU STOLE!
VIVI: (siting on her bike while aiming her gun at the third missile) Come on baby.
Just as Vivi is about to shoot out the third missile, it opened up and transformed into several thin war heads that are pointed in the air, about to launch and land on Ganymade.
VIVI: (slightly scared and siting on her bike with a gun in her hands) What is this?
MAX: (freaking out while holding a gun in each hand) It's multiple war heads and this is not a war zone.
Maria is watching both Max and Vivi from a distance, on a cliff, while singing oprea. The now thin war heads didn't have a timer on them like the third missile did before it transformed.
Zet shows up on his bike he calls "Hog Hammer".
ZET: (siting on his bike) Max, i just got off my cell with Bob and he said the cops at down town Ganymade have cleared the streets and are preparing to launch missiles at this location we're in as a counter attack.
VIVI: (slightly scared and siting on her bike with a gun in her hands) This is no joke.
ZET: (siting on his bike) Vivi, what are you doing here?
VIVI: (siting on her bike with a gun in her hands) I unlocked your hand cuffs and does that really matter right now?
ZET: (siting on his bike) Max, i'm starting to hear the missiles launched from down town Ganymade approach this sector we're in.
ZET: (yelling, panicking, and riding off on his bike) WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE WE GET BLOWN UP MAX.
MAX: (yelling, putting his guns in his back pack, getting on his bike, and starting to peddal like crazy following Zet and Vivi) I HEAR YOU.
ZET: (yelling and peddling in the lead with Vivi following and Max way behind since he is out of breath) GO MAX!
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!
Max, Zet, and Vivi barely make it out of the blast radius in one piece.
VIVI: (talking and peddling at the same time) What's that?
Little sparks of fire rain down on them from the explosions.
ZET: (talking and peddling at the same time) I guess you never paid attention in physics class.
ZET: (talking and peddling at the same time) When a bomb or a missile explodes on contact, if it's powerful enough, it can create a wind current that causes little sparks of fire to rain down from the sky near and some times far away from the blast radius.
ZET: (talking and peddling at the same time) Lucky for us, the cops at down town Ganymade used light weight missiles.
Maria and the members of the Eco Warriors are stuck under the fallen trees and when Maria tries to get up, she falls forward and the sample virus escapes her pocket and smashes, releasing the virus in the area where the group is and infecting the Eco Warriors.
Back at camp, Vivi consoles Max and Zet on losing their bounty, but says they'll make some big bucks on the next one, effectively joining the crew of the Bad Dude Bounty Hunters on her own terms.
VIVI: Yeah yeah!
VIVI: All that work and no reward.
VIVI: For tough dudes, you sure do complain a lot.
VIVI: Now don't take it so hard boys.
VIVI: We'll make some big bucks next time.
VIVI: (starting to walk away from the camp fire) Well, i think i'll go fishing at the lake near here.
VIVI: (walking away) Don't interrupt me until my turn is done!
MAX: Next time, we'll make some big bucks.
MAX: Zet is she saying what i think she's saying?
ZET: I don't really know and i don't really care.
MAX: She's using our lake to fish when she doesn't even have a fishing rod.
MAX: That's not okay, right?
ZET: I don't know and i don't care.
MAX: (starting to walk away from the camp site) I'll go tell her before she gets started.
ZET: Wait Max!
MAX: (walking away) It'll be fine.
ZET: Vivi is a short tempered girl with a gun dude.
ZET: She might get angry if you interrupt her turn at the lake.
ZET: I hope she doesn't dude.
VIVI: (yelling and standing by the lake) I HAVEN'T GOT STARTED YET AND IT'S NOT YOUR TURN YOU IDIOT.
She punches him in the stomach.
ZET: Bad move dude.
Once again, Max and Zet almost get killed and don't even get a reward for it. On top of that, they and poochyena have a new team mate. I guess you can't really call them Bad Dude Bounty Hunters now that Vivi Winstrate is with them. Now that Vivi is in the group, things are going to get a lot more interesting as this story continues.
