HEY GUYS! I'm Back! Sorry, it took me so long. My school year as been pretty hectic and exhausting. Anyway, I'm back now so enjoy! Also I'll be checking on Rookie to see how his show is doing, I hope he's hasn't blown up the tent or anything.

The Return

The next part of the plan is providing a distraction while the rest of the group sneaks in and gets into the control room. That's easier said then done, Blastfire246 mutters. Chip and Blastfire246 decides to do an escaping prisoner scenario, where Chip would bring the TAG agents attention to the opposite side of headquarters and away from the control room.

"Ready?" Chip asks Blastfire246.

He nods, "are you?"

Chip steps out of the interrogation room.

"You know that I have to...uh..." Chip hesitates.

"Yeah, I know."

Blastfire246 turns around and waits for the blow which knocks him out. Chip starts his escape, hitting the alarm on the way. All right, now it's time to play the mouse. Chip laughs to himself.

Linsey's POV

The alarm goes off as we sneak into the air vents of the EPF headquarters. Was that us?

"No, that is our distraction." Power explains.

I pause and blink back at this penguin, who isn't an EPF agent and is helping us anyway. Did I say that out loud? I look at Power, waiting for a response but he's to intent on making sure we reach our destination. We crawl around in the vents for what seems like an hour. I can hear voices down below us.

Linsey (EPF recruit), Power and Rosa541 (agents working with Ace, a former TAG agent), and the other new penguins; Tyler, Katie, April, and one other (from another world) crawls through the vents until they reach the control room. Quietly opening the vent, they all hop down and take out the TAG agents stationed there, with knock out gas.

"I'll go to the fuse box," Power offers.

"I'll go with you." One of the new penguins exclaims, wearing a bandana.

Power pauses, assessing the penguin. There's hesitation in his eyes but he nods.

"Let's go," he states.

They both hurry out the door. I turn to see Rosa541 already by the monitors.

"Did you spot them?" I ask.

"Not yet," she answers.

Rosa541 turns toward the other three penguins.

"How good are you guys with technology?" She states.

Phase one: have to agents infiltrate the agency and set up a distraction. Phase two: have a group sent to the control room to set up for yet another distraction as well as take control of the mainframe computer. Both of these phases are complete. Phase three...Ace turns and looks at the monitor back at his base. This is where he monitors his group's status.

Flashback*

"I don't trust him," Power whispers to Ace pointing to the penguin in the bandana.

"You read him?" Ace asks, making sure no one is listening.

"More or less," Power shrugs. "It's also more of a feeling really.

Ace looks at the group as they prepare for their attack.

"Have you told anyone else?" Ace inquires.

Power shakes his head.

"Keep an eye on him," Ace states. "I'll warn Rosa541 as well."

"And the others?"

"No, there's no need for them to know. Besides...if it is who I think then you, Rosa541 and I will be the only one's capable of taking him out.

Power nods, noting that everyone here except Blastfire246 are trainees and civillians. Ace looks back at Power with an amused expression on his face.

"You know who it is?" Power confirms, "you know that penguin."

"Yeah, I do."

Flashback ends*

Ace watches the monitor and listens in, giving commands to the penguins as he can.

"I'm at the fuse box," Power says into his earpiece. "It looks like a standard fuse box.

"Flip the switch over on the top right." Ace exclaims.

Ace pictures Power as he flips the switch, revealing the huge, complicated switches hidden in the back.

"Great...just great!" Power mutters.

Power's POV

So the fuse box opens to reveal the real controls. Great. I look at the controls and realize the labels are in code.

"What's code: red?" The penguin beside him asks, absentmindedly.

"It's...this switch." Power says to himself, sort of ignoring the penguin's question. "Now they can activate it from the control room...or the mainframe."

Power notices the penguin looking at the other switches.

"It's your turn now," Power says into his earpiece. "Time to activate code: red."

It was Blastfire246's idea actually to activate code: red. It was a way to keep the TAG agents trapped inside while we retake headquarters. Chip hops down from the vent and listens to the footsteps of the TAG agents.

"He went that way," one agent announces.

Chip grins, Ha! By now the others are in the control room. Now to get to the mainframe computer. Chip sneaks through the office, surprised to find it empty of agents. From what we know, the Director had locked down the mainframe so that TAG couldn't get to any information. Chip looks over his shoulder before walking over to the mainframe. As expected the mainframe is still on lock down. Time to wake up, Chip exclaims with a smile.

Chip starts to press some buttons in a code and the mainframe springs back to life. Now to hack into unauthorized files and set off code: red. Chip hits the first file he sees labeled FR. Opening it, he discovers tons and tons of fish recipes. Uh...okay, Chip thinks to himself. Closing the file, he goes into another labeled DA. This one is locked.

Chip enters bagel as the password. The message says incorrect. He types in fishsticks. Incorrect. Here it is... Chip types in pizza. Chip grins, anticipating an alarm to sound off. What? Chip looks back at the screen and blinks. Pizza, really? I got it right? Chip peers at the documents in curiosity.

There's research and video clips dealing with some top secret project. He clicks into one document what has profiles of several penguins in it. He scrolls down the documents until his eyes hoover over one profile of a girl penguin with brown hair. She's carrying a surfboard and she's smiling like she had the best time of her life.

"Cheyenne21," he reads out loud.

Remembering the plan, Chip closes out of the file and finds another to "hack into." This file is labeled Crys20-1-12. Chip finally succeeds and the alarm goes off.

Clink! Slam!

The doors go into automatic lock down. Showtime, Chip smiles.

Coming back to consciousness, Blastfire246 hurries to his next location in the plan. He's got to get to the Director's meeting room. Once there, he is to wait for further instructions. The TAG agents hardly give him a second glance as he ran in the opposite direction of the escaping prisoner. When he got there, Blastfire246 put on his comm link and radios in.

"This is Blastfire246, I'm in position."

"Good," the voice at the other end applauds. "So is everyone else."
"What do you want me to do now?" Blastfire246 asks.

The lights go out and an alarm sounds. Then the emergency lights turn on seconds later. Code: red, he remembers.

"Is there anyone else with you?" Asks Ace, through the comm link.

"No," he answers.

"Oh," Ace replies, disappointed. "I thought Mr. PoodleX450 would be hiding there."

"You want me to track him down?" Blastfire246 offers.

"Yeah and don't let him escape," Ace confirms.

Ooh, they are getting so close to retaking EPF headquarters. I hope that goes all well. Where do you think Mr. PoodleX450 went? What's in file Crys20-1-12? What's the meaning behind the DA file, Chip somehow managed to get into? and ROOKIE, you and your fish recipes. XD Imagine if TAG's reaction to that if they got their hands on those. Find out next time April 23rd.
