Stanley Ipkisses flat was on the third floor of a small apartment building. The address was 1235 April street. They ringed the buzzer. The voice of a woman came on saying "Yes who is it?" James started to answer but Ash steped in " Uh, yeah im looking for a Mr. Ipkiss, its very, very important that we talk to him." There was a moment before the voice buzzed again " Come on up." she said.
A tall woman with blonde hair and blue eyes greeted them when she opened the door. She was wearing a red shirt and jeans and beckoned them in saying " Stan should be home soon, im making dinner so excuse the mess." Mess indeed. The kitchen looked as if she used pipe bombs and gunpowder to cook. She grabbed the phone and dialed a number soon she connected and started talking " Yeah Stanley, theres some guys here to see you about you know what." she listened and then said " Well you gonna be here soon?" she nodded and said "Ok bye." She put the phone down. She finally noticed Stuart as he leapt onto the table. "W-why-." "Long story hun." Ash said. Soon Stanley arrived at home and locked the door behind him. He kissed Tina and shook the hands of Ash and James. " Tina whats wrong you look shocked." She just pointed at Stuart. Stanley gaped at Stuart and tried not to say "What the fuck?" to his face. "Its ok im used to it." Stuart replied without missing a beat.
They explained to Stanley and Tina about the crisis in North Korea, M's research, the original League, and how he was choosen to be part of it. Stanley shook his head saying "No...I just cant I got Tina..." James replied " Stanley we are willing to pay you 4 million and you will have all the benefits of a corporal in the army." Stanley shook his head saying " I still cant. I know its sounds cowardly but I just cant, I dont even know The Mask will want to do this.. Hes a bit of a lone wolf..." Suddenly James felt Ash kick his heel trying to get his attention. James felt instinct kick in and he turned his eye to his the direction Ash was motioning to.
Slowly the knob on the door was starting to slowly turn and the windows latch starting to open. Stuart noticed and his tiny body tensed up.Ash slowly started to go into the back of his pocket to grab the hidden sawed-off shotgun, James eased his hand into his jacket pocket for his silenced 9mm. Stuart slowly turned his head to Tina and Stanley and mouthed one single word to them: "Duck."
Stanley threw Tina to the floor as Stuart made a mad dash for cover. As Ash aimed his shotgun at the window and fired. The door flew open as men in black jackets whipped out uzis and the one that had tried to come through the window fell off the fire escape. James fired off two shots at them and they fell to the ground, blood streaked on the walls. Stuart dashed from behind a chair leg and towards Tina and Stanley. He hopped onto Stanleys collar just as he was standing up. He flinced but he was used to it.
Stuart pointed a finger at Tina saying " Follow James to the limo!" He pointed at Ash and said " Come with me, we need to get the mask. Tina and James dashed out the entrance as Ash, and Stuart followed Stanley towards the back of the flat as fast they could. Stanley lept into the closet as a another henchman pulled himself from the bathroom window brandishing an AK-47. Ash fired off another round at him and he was sent flying 10 feet back into the bathroom. " I got it!" Stanley shouted as he held up a piece of carved green wood. The bursted down the hall and out the door just as another tried to open fire at them. The limo swerved out in front of them and they leapt in all at once. The limo sped off down the street as fast as they could. " Stanley your alive!" Tina squealed as she embraced Stanley and kissed him.
" Oh yeah and what do Stuart and I get chopped liver on a plate?" Ash retorted. James smacked him upside the head saying "Oh shut up ya bloody American!" And they both laughed. But then it all went to Hell faster than the Red eye to Tokyo. A car pulled up alongside and a person came out of the window and opened fire on the car. Charles swerved the car to try and keep it from getting hit, bullets cracked the bulletproof glass but even bulletproff glass can only take so much stress and shattered. Stanley tried to get Tina down, Ash stuck out the sunroof and fired his gun at the car. He duck back down to reload but had realised someone had gotten hit...
Tina... had a bullet in her back. Stanley desperatley choked back panic as he held his dying girlfriend close to her. He was covered in blood as he tried to stop the bleeding with his hand. Charles sped the car towards the nearest hospital the GPS directed him too. They pulled into the emergency room and they all eased Tina from the car and into the emergency room. "Someone get a bloody stretcher!" James yelled and orderlies and nurses scrambled around. Soon Tina was being rushed into the emergency room as doctors tried to stablise her. " Her heart is failing, shes going into arrest!" One doctor boomed as James and Ash tried to pull Stanley away from the gruesome scene. Soon they got him to a chair and tried to calm him as he broke out into sobs. Soon he slightly calmed down. They waited for what felt like hours in the waiting room. They paced and impaitiently waited for news on Tina.
Soon a middle-aged woman came in wearing a nurses uniform. " Mr. Ipkiss?" She said and their heads all shot up and Stanley raised his hand saying " Thats me." The nurse sighed and said "Mr. Ipkiss I regret to inform you that Tina has...passed on." Stanley felt his bowels become water and he crumpled to the ground. Ash, James and Stuart and the nurse tried to help him up as he sobbed his eyes out and screamed her name...
Soon Stanley was taken to identify her body and to see the woman he loved so much one final time. The nurse looked at him saying " If it helps ya any... she died fighting she really did." Stanley nodded at her and walked from the morgue but not before giving Tina one final kiss on the lips. He approached James, Stuart and Ash and said " Who did this to her?" James looked at her saying " Kai-Lo-Wu-Nong. He did this in an attempt to kill us." " And instead an innocent woman died." Stuart said tears threatening to stream down his furry face. Stanley looked at them with a fiery stare, a mix of grief and a desire for revenge and said " Im in."
