Chapter Five: D.O.O.M's Plan
Dudley and Kitty were driving around in the T.U.F.F. Mobile for signs of villains around Petsburg. None of them yet.
''I still don't know why ''The Bomb Sneaker'' blew up my house.'' said Kitty.
''Maybe he blew it up because he didn't like you.'' suggested Dudley.
''Why wouldn't he like me?''
Dudley didn't say anything.
''Forget it. We're going to check out every villain's activity in Petsburg, and go through them until we find the one we're looking for!''
Snaptrap was driving a Petropolis Gazette truck. His minions were in the truck also.
''Say, Snaptrap? Why are you driving a Petropolis Gazette truck in Petsburg? They don't deliver the paper here!'' said Larry.
''We had to leave them behind so our Petropolis division could use them. Besides, we have more PG trucks there to deliver the paper.'' answered Snaptrap.
''Yeah. If you're the owner and editor of the newspaper you bought, then why aren't you there taking care of business?'' demanded Larry.
''Because Agents Puppy and Katswell are here. And I'm not going to let them be in peace!''
Snaptrap stepped on the gas pedal and started going faster. Ollie spotted the T.U.F.F. Mobile a mile ahead.
''Good! Let's try out Francisco's plan now.'' said Snaptrap.
The four put on policeman costumes and masks. Then Snaptrap started going further and further, until they were near the T.U.F.F. Mobile.
The two vehicles stopped due to traffic. Snaptrap started up the evil plot. The false policemen stepped out of the truck and went to the T.U.F.F. Mobile.
''Hey, you two. Have you been… doing something you are not supposed to do?'' said Snaptrap.
''What?'' Kitty was confused by the sudden appearance of the police in a newspaper truck.
''I think you have. You have broken Petsburg Law #64: No cars without roofs from April 'til September. And it's during that time, so we are going to arrest you.'' continued Snaptrap.
''Huh? I've never heard of that retarded rule! Maybe… That's something D.O.O.M. would do: make up random rules! Speaking of D.O.O.M…''
Kitty pulled off Snaptrap's mask. It was him alright.
''Ah-ha! It was you! Now we'll take you to the police. The REAL Petsburg police.'' said Kitty.
As the D.O.O.M. team was led to Dudley's T.U.F.F. Mobile to be taken to the local police station, Ollie said this: ''Maybe it would have been easier to kill them in a violent way.''
''Aw, shut up.'' replied Snaptrap.
Keswick was simply resting at his house in Petropolis. He had quit his gas station job because he got enough money for a house of his own.
''Hey Keswick, get me a beer!'' yelled Dad.
Keswick sighed and got the beer.
''Okay, Dad. Here's your buh-buh-beer.'' said Keswick.
''Why do you stutter so much? It annoys me that you have to do that.'' said Dad.
''Haven't I already told you? Multiple ta-ta-ta-times?'' said Keswick.
''I want to hear it again.''
''Ok. I stuh-stuh-stutter like this just buh-because!''
''That's not a reason! The real reason is because-''Dad was cut off by Keswick's mother, who said ''-he's stupid, that's why he stutters!''
''No, it's just buh-buh-because!` I don't know why~!'' said Keswick.
''He was probably born with it!'' said Dad.
''No he wasn't, he got it later on!'' argued Mom.
''No he didn't!''
''Yes he did!''
''No he didn't!''
''Yes he did!''
''No he didn't!''
''Yes he did!''
Keswick left the living room and went upstairs to his mini-laboratory in his room. He packed up everything in a big backpack, and jumped out of the window, only for the backpack to get stuck in it. Keswick dropped down and pulled out the backpack carefully. Then he ran off to Petsburg to hide from his parents. While he was running down the street, he stepped on the Chief.
''Ow~, my arms!''
''Aw, cra-cra-crap! It's the Chief! I'm sorry I stepped on you!'' yelled Keswick.
''That's ok. I've been stepped on many, many times. Now, I need to go to the hospital, because I'm in extreme pain!'' said the Chief.
Keswick took the badly hurt flea to the hospital to be treated.
Meanwhile, Snaptrap and his crew were in prison. They were talking about their plans to kill Dudley and Kitty.
''I think we should kill them this way – We'll run the two over, then we'll hang them if they aren't already dead.'' Snaptrap considered.
''I'm afraid it's not going to work. I mean, if we run them over once and if they die, we can't try again or hang them because they're dead,'' remarked Ollie.
Snaptrap thought the reason over, and then said, ''Okay… Francisco, your turn.''
''How 'bout this: We lure them into a trap.'' said Francisco.
''What kind of trap?''
''We make cardboard cutouts of Keswick and the Chief. We have to make them realistic though. Then, we put on disguises to lure Agents Puppy and Katswell to the bench where the cardboard cutouts will be located. Then, we'll go to the top of the abandoned house near the bench and throw down an anvil. The anvil will then hit the agents. Then, we'll pick the anvil up, and we'll put the two in our Petropolis Gazette truck. Then we'll hang them. If any part of the plan dosen't work, then we'll have to go to war with them.''
''Sounds complicated, but maybe it'll work. In fact, we'll do it now!''
Keswick contacted Kitty on her video watch and told her and Dudley to come to the hospital where the Chief was located. They did. Meanwhile, D.O.O.M. was setting up their new trap. After setting it up, they waited. And waited. And waited.
Dudley and Kitty were waiting too – but they were waiting for the doctor to tell them ''You can come in now.'' After 5 minutes, a doctor came and said just that. And the two former T.U.F.F. agents went in.
At the hospital room, Keswick was already there, along with the Chief, who was on a hospital bed.
''Why is he in the hospital, Keswick?'' asked Dudley.
Keswick sighed. ''Well… I sta-sta-stepped on him. I was going to puh-puh-Petsburg to escape from my puh-parents, when I stepped on the Chief. I then took him to this hospital. He told me, he's re-re-re-retired now. Since T.U.F.F. closed, he ha-hasn't had anything to do. So that's why he retired.''
''It's good that I'm seeing my favorite agents again. Thank you for coming! I really like it. Hey, after I get out of here, maybe you can come see me at the Petropolis Nursing Home that I've been living at for the past few weeks!'' said the Chief excitedly.
''Ok.'' said Kitty. ''Now, how's retirement?''
''It's good. I don't have to take any risks now. And I'm not stressed out as much either.''
''That's good to know. It's been nice seeing you, Chief. We're gonna go now.'' said Dudley.'' ''Bye!''
''Bye.'' said the Chief.
And so, Dudley and Kitty went back to Petsburg. Keswick moved there a few days later, after the Chief got out of the hospital.
A/N: Now, for the last part of the chapter, before it ends with the ''to be continued'' thing.
D.O.O.M. had been waiting for 3 days now, without eating food or peeing. When finally, Dudley and Kitty went past the bench.
''Ok, Larry. Drop the anvil.''
And he did.
But the anvil didn't hit Dudley or Kitty because the two ran away. Snaptrap was angry.
''Francisco, your stupid plan didn't work!'' said Snaptrap.
''So? We'll try again, even though I said we would go to war-'' said Francisco before he got cut off.
''We'll go to war with them now! We'll get our revenge, just wait and see! But first I have to go to the bathroom, and make a sandwich or two…'' said Snaptrap.
To be continued…
