The return of the hero
Sorry about the wait, oh wait, it's only been about a day or two.
It has been six months since Charlie's departure from tuff. Everyone is gathered in the conference room and is worried that something has happened to him during his journeys. Several attempts with the tuff tracker has turned up nothing. Kitty was thinking that he will never fulfill his promise and return.
Outside of tuff, a hooded figure with two swords and two blasters approached the doors and enters tuff hq. The figure approached the conference room. When he enters all the agents pull out their lasers and point them at the figure. The figure just ignores all the blasters and walks up to Chief. The figure sets something down in front of Chief and then exits the conference room.
"So what does the person want in return for not destroying Petropolis and how can we stop him?" Kitty says getting ready to kick butt. Chief grins when he looks at the object. "Nothing to worry about, the person will not destroy tuff. No one should face that person." Chief says taking the object with him. Kitty meets with the figure on several occassion and each time she goes into a battle pose.
The figure approaches an empty desk and lays down in the chair. Kitty and Dudley approach the figure and Dudley pulls out his laser and starts shooting. "Dudley, stop it. Chief said not to fight him." Kitty says while Dudley keeps firing. The person pulls out the two swords and deflects them back at Dudley. Dudley avoids the shots and fires at the arms.
One connects with the figure's right sleeve. The figure puts his or her swords back and starts trying to put out the fire. Dudley shoots at the other arm and the figure does the same thing. Dudley shoots one more time and it hits the figure's hood. The figure puts a gloved hand on the cloak and yanks it off. Dudley stops firing once he sees who it is.
It is Charlie who is a lot bigger and more armed for a mission. "Chief, it is Charlie. He's back." Kitty says with limitless joy. "I know he set down his tuff badge as a way of showing his return." Chief says with a grin. "Hold on." Dudley says before running off. Charlie and Kitty hug for a while. "Where have you been for six months?" Kitty says. "Everywhere, some places for longer. I am a wanted man though in one country and for a good reason." Charlie says before heading to a computer monitor.
"Why is that?" Kitty says following him. "This is why." Charlie says changing it to a special that aired a couple days ago that Kitty didn't see. "We bring you this message. A secret agent is wanted so he can marry the Princess of India since he saved her from a group of bandits due to Indian tradition." the reporter says before Charlie turns off the screen.
"You saved the princess?" Kitty says a bit sad and a bit happy. "Yeah, the sultan asked for my help and I gave it to him." Charlie says. "So why didn't you marry her?" Kitty says before realizing that was a stupid question. "I thought of you during the entire trip." Charlie says looking at her. Kitty is flattered by the compliment. Charlie turns on his wrist-com.
"Chief, can I take this day off, so I can head to the gym?" Charlie says. "Why not?" Chief says with a worryless look. "Hey Charlie, think fast." Dudley says before throwing a cherry pie. Charlie looks over and gets nailed in the face with the pie. "Maybe I shouldn't give you the gift I got you Dudley." Charlie says with a scary look on his face. "Sorry." Dudley says either out of regret or fear.
"That reminds me, I got some stuff for you guys. Chief, I got you some new pie recipes since Ketchup and Cherry is not a fair winning combination. Keswick I got you some new robot blueprints that you can build each have their purpose stated at the bottom. Kitty, I couldn't find anything for you." Charlie says handing them what he got them and sadly says the last thing.
Kitty nearly starts to cry. "Woah, hold on. I said I couldn't find anything for you, but I do have something for you. During my travels, I found a metalloid combination that can change its composition and purpose due to what it comes in contact with. I made it into a nail polish for you. It serves as a laser reflector when it hits a laser and a laser cutter when it comes in contact with anything else. Dudley, I found the main headquarters for the Vita-Bone company and I got them to make a pizza flavored chew toy. Now, where is it?" Charlie says looking through his pocket. Dudley starts to lose hope for the chew toy. "Here it is." Charlie says pulling out a purple chew toy.
Charlie throws the chew-toy toward the front doors. Dudley runs after it. Charlie pulls his hand back and the chew-toy flies back to Charlie. Dudley flies into the wall. "That's payback for the pie." Charlie says before laughing. "I'll get you for that." Dudley says. Charlie tosses Kitty the nail polish and Dudley the chew-toy.
Charlie heads to the gym. Kitty gathers Keswick and Dudley. "I want Charlie to stay with me tonight so he can tell me about his travels. You guys in?" Kitty says to the two of them. "I am in. I can get Charlie back for that prank he pulled." Dudley says wagging his tail. "He was getting you back Dudley, anyways Keswick you in?" Kitty says as she and Dudley look at Keswick. "Sure, I can show him even though he is smarter than me that I-I-I-I-I am the Chief's second in command." Keswick says with a grin.
"Hey Kitty, I will be at the gym for two hours. Can you make sure everything is still there? You know where the key is incase the door is locked." Charlie says over his wrist-com. "Okay, he'll be gone for about two hours, that is plenty of time to get his apartment messed up so he will stay the night with me." Kitty says as the three head for Charlie's apartment.
When they arrive at Charlie's front door, they all stand still. "Does anyone remember where the key is?" Kitty says looking through the pots. "We don't need a key." Dudley says picking up Keswick. "What are you doing Dudley?" Kitty says looking at Dudley. "HI GEE GEE!" Dudley yells as he runs to the door. Dudley uses Keswick's head to bust down the door. Dudley picks it up and looks at the other side. "Hey, the door was unlocked the entire time." Dudley says to Kitty and a dizzy Keswick. Kitty slaps herself in stupidity for not checking if it was locked.
The group searches for a light switch and they hit the hidden panel. The lights turn on and the hidden room becomes visible again. Kitty uses the nail polish to claw up the kitchen. Keswick pulls out a laser and shoots up the living room. The two get out while Dudley shakes up a bottle of grape soda. Dudley pops the cap and starts spinning around. Everything gets covered in pop. The three machines become covered in pop and explode. "That can't be good." Dudley says looking at the machine. The group spends under two hours destroying Charlie's apartment. When they hear Charlie coming up, they hide in a separate hallway.
Charlie comes in and sees what happened to his apartment. "What happened here?" Charlie says both sad and angry. Kitty comes in and looks around. She pretends to act shocked. "What happened here?" Kitty says looking around. "I don't know. Why weren't you here?" Charlie says looking to Kitty. "I forgot where you put the key. Dudley and I had to go to the bathroom. When we came back, the door was busted open and we saw Larry running from your room. That means..." Kitty says lying about what happened. "Doom." Charlie says with a scary and angry look on his face.
"What do you want to do, Charlie?" Kitty says worried. "Revenge is sweet, let's see how they like equal treatment to where they live." Charlie says heading to a corner of the room. Charlie presses a button and a hole opens up in the floor. "You two coming?" Charlie says unaware that Keswick was involved. "We are trashing Doom HQ, sweet." Dudley says jumping right down the hole. "Where does this lead, Charlie?" Kitty says as she can't see the bottom. "To the Linerunner." Charlie says as he jumps down. Kitty jumps down and they land in the back seat. Charlie takes the wheel and punches some keys in.
Charlie flies extremely fast. "Charlie, aren't you worried that you'll hurt someone?" Kitty says as she holds on to her seat. "Don't worry, we are below the altitude for airplanes and above the tallest skyscraper in Petropolis. Besides, I have preset the coordinates to doom hq. The Gradine is at max speed and was instructed to slow down when we are two miles away from doom hq."
Charlie says as he opens a hidden compartment. "Before I went to tuff to declare my return. I dropped my stuff off and put these highly compressed spheres in this compartment. It is made of a combination of glue, chewed up gum and several different melted cheeses." Charlie says handing some to Kitty and Duldey. Kitty and Dudley start to laugh. "What's so funny?" Charlie says wondering what is funny. "If you are lucky enough, you'll see." Dudley says before he continues laughing.
The gradine starts to slowdown and they arrive at Doom HQ. Charlie, Kitty and Dudley jump on to the catwalk. They see that they haven't been seen yet. Charlie pulls out an adapted blaster. "Why don't we have those?" Dudley says looking at it. "You never said you wanted one." Charlie says as he puts the spheres into a container. "You never told us you had some." Kitty says angrily. "Sorry, just check this out. I have this thing with three different settings. Tri-fire, Single Fire, and my specially made twister-fire. This is tri-fire." Charlie says changing it to tri-fire. Charlie pulls the trigger aiming at Larry. Three spheres hit at different spots. One hits Larry in the head. Larry thinks he has been shot and acts like he is dying. Kitty and Dudley throw some of their spheres in the same area making that part of the hq look like a spider's web.
The three creep along the cat walk to the main part of Doom hq. They see Snaptrap, Ollie, and Francisco watching tv. Charlie changes to single fire and fires one at Snaptrap. Snaptrap looks around trying to see where it came from. "You pizza face and toppings. Up here." Charlie says balanced on the rail of the catwalk. Snaptrap looks up and sees Charlie. "You shall per..." Snaptrap says before Charlie shoots a sphere into his mouth. "Mmmm, not bad what is in this?" Snaptrap says slightly enjoying the taste of the sphere. "Gum, glue and melted cheeses." Charlie says remembering the ingredients. "CHEESE!" Snaptrap says before swelling like a balloon.
"A rat that is allergic to cheese." Charlie says before laughing very hard. Charlie loses his balance and falls off the catwalk and lands on the ground. Francisco and Ollie start to run to Charlie. "This is probably the best time to use the twister-fire." Charlie says changing the settings. Charlie presses the trigger and a spiral of spheres push Francisco and Ollie into the wall and sticks them to it. "Okay, that's enough fun for now. Let's go." Charlie says looking to the catwalk. Dudley and Kitty step out of the shadows and throw the rest of their spheres everywhere. "Did we win boss?" Ollie says stuck to the wall. "No where close. Snaptrap we just kicked your butt again, or is that your face. I can't tell they look the same." Charlie says popping his head back in.
"You shall per.." Snaptrap tries to say before Charlie throws his last sphere into his mouth. Snaptrap swells even more like a balloon. "Consider that a token of my return and the start of your troubles." Charlie says before running off to catch up with Kitty and Dudley. "That was fun." Dudley says wagging his tail. "I can't believe I am saying this but that was fun." Kitty says looking at Charlie.
"I know, but if you guys wanted me to stay at your house, all you had to do was say so." Charlie says looking at the two of them. "We told you Doom did it." Kitty says realizing they had been caught. "No chance, I still had the pressure plates and they had DNA analyzers added. It showed you, Keswick and Dudley went into my apartment and trashed the place. I would normally not mind the gesture, but you did destroy my tech lab with grape soda. That makes the second time grape soda caused me some misery." Charlie says remembering his first day at tuff.
"We're sorry, Charlie. How long will it take you to rebuild the equipment?" Kitty says looking at Charlie. "Don't worry about it. The only thing of real importance you destroyed was the daily log of my progress. Those other two machines were only decoys. The actual machines are kept in a hidden closet in the hidden room." Charlie says forgiving his partners. "Wait, you have a hidden room in a hidden room. Uggghh, my brain hurts." Dudley says putting his hands on his head. "Your brain would hurt if you tried to figure what two plus two equals." Charlie says annoyed.
"Anyways, since I am back I will treat you two to ice cream." Charlie says getting in the Linerunner. "You rock Charlie." Dudley says hopping into the Linerunner. Kitty gets in and drives to the ice cream shoppe. Kitty orders a fudge sundae. Dudley orders a large banana split with chocolate sauce, sprinkles, a cherry on top and oreo cookie crumbles. Charlie orders a small chocolate ice cream cone. When everyone was done, Charlie threw away all the trash.
"I need someplace to stay while I clean my place up." Charlie says looking down. "Hey you can stay at my place." Dudley says before Kitty kicks him under the table. "I mean Kitty's place." Dudley says. "Is that alright with you Kitty?" Charlie says looking over at Kitty. "Sure, I did want you to tell me about your travels around the world." Kitty says without hesitation. "Okay, I'll be at your place at about eight." Charlie says before looking at the time. "Wow, time sure flies, I need to gather my stuff. I'll drop you two off at your homes before I head to mine and grab some stuff." Charlie says as they head to the Linerunner.
Charlie does what he said he was going to do. He drops Kitty off first, then Dudley, then he heads to his place to grab a blanket, a pillow and a spare blaster.
Kitty and Charlie are hugging on the left of the scream. Dudley is eating ice cream on the right side of the screen.
