In their warm and cozy apartment, Sheep and X Agent are sitting down on the dark blue couch, feeling tired from last night. X Agent felt guilty about disrupting their sleep because of a nightmare, "Sheep, I'm sorry for waking you up last night." "Don't apologize, X Agent." Sheep reassured, "It wasn't your fault. You can always talk to me anytime you want." X Agent felt a little more comfortable, "Thank you, Sheep..." Just before the two could share a hug, they heard a loud explosion outside. "What was that?!" X Agent demanded, feeling shocked by the explosion. "I don't know, X Agent." Sheep replied, "Probably just General Specific's plan of capturing us and failing... As usual." X Agent laughed a little, "Yeah... You're probably right..." Then there was another explosion, this time they could hear people screaming. "What the hell?" Sheep questioned as he walked towards the window, before gasping at what he saw. "What is it, Sheep?" X Agent asked. He also walked up to the window and, like Sheep, was horrified by what he saw. Down below, there were some tanks, that were moving stiffly, and some large metallic robots, who were firing at anything that they saw. "Oh my god..." X Agent gasped, "I need to do something." "I don't know, X Agent..." Sheep sighed, "I think it might be... Too much for you." "Nonsense, Sheep!" X Agent argued, "If I could save you from General Specific and his henchmen, I could stop whoever's attacking the Big City." "No offense, but I think the reason you're able to defeat General Specific is because he's an idiot." Sheep explained, "But I doubt you're able to fight back whoever built these things..." "Sheep, are you saying I'm... Weak?" X Agent questioned. "No, X Agent." Sheep corrected, "I'm not. You're a very strong sheep, and I'm so thankful for what you have done for me. I just don't want you getting seriously hurt... Or worse..." X Agent was unconvinced, "Sheep! I'm willing to get hurt just to protect you and others. That's what a hero does!" "I know, X Agent." Sheep said, "But heroes can't do everything. I don't think you'll be able to stop them robots and tanks, even if you tried, even if you get hurt. They're too many of these darn things, they'll rip and blow you apart if you even get near one..." X Agent sighed in defeat, "I guess you're right... But what are we going to do? Or where are we going to go?" Sheep thought for a moment before he got an idea, "Farmer John said that we are welcome to stay at his Farm if we need to. I'm sure he'll be more than happy to let us stay during the circumstances..." "I think that he'll be more than happy to know we're still alive..." X Agent agreed, "Come on, Sheep. Let's get out of here while we still can." The two sheep quietly walked out of their apartment and made their way to the Farm for safety, while trying not to be spotted.
At the Farm, Farmer John and Swanky saw what was going on in the Big City, and they were just as horrified. "Oh my god..." Swanky gasped, "I don't believe it! The Big City's under attack." "Yeah... I hope everyone in the Big City is okay and alive..." Farmer John sighed. Then, they saw two figures walking towards them. "Do you see something?" Swanky asked. "More like someone..." Farmer John added. As the figures got closer, they became clearer and, soon, became recognisable. "It's Sheep and X Agent!" Farmer John cheered in joy, as he ran towards the two sheep, before giving them a hug. "Thank god you're alive!" Sheep laughed a little, while X Agent stayed silent. "I could ask the same thing." Sheep replied, "Though... Can you let us go? It's a very serious situation." Farmer John nodded before letting go of the two sheep, "Are you two okay? Did you get hurt?" "We're not hurt... But X Agent's not happy of being unable to help the Big City..." Sheep told. Farmer John looked down at X Agent, "X Agent, we all understand how you feel, and we also feel the same. But there's nothing we can do..." X Agent looked away, "We should get inside before anyone spots us." "X Agent's right. Lets just go inside and find what the hell is going on!" Swanky agreed. Soon, everyone made their way inside Farmer John's house, before starting their process of locking and barricading their doors and windows, alongside watching the news to find out any new information.
Hours had went past, and the group had learned very little, if anything about the attack. All they knew was that someone was responsible and there were tanks and robots raiding the Big City, from the many news broadcasts they watched. Everyone was on their nerves, especially X Agent, who still couldn't let go about not being able to do anything about the situation. But regardless, they just want this to all end and return back to their normal lives.
Another hour had went past, nothing had changed. Farmer John couldn't stop looking at the TV, as he wanted answers, alongside everyone else. "Farmer?" Swanky called, "You feeling good?" "Oh!" Farmer John was taken by surprise, "Sorry, I just can't stop looking. It's driving me crazy." "It's driving us all crazy." Sheep replied, "I just want the attack to stop..." Thankfully (as thankful it can get at the moment), there was a new news bulletin coming on, which pleased the farmer. "Finally! Some news!" Farmer John cheered. "You say that alot." Swanky sighed, "I don't think it will bring something new to the table. Just the same thing over and over." "Never say never, though." Farmer John told, before looking back at the screen.
The news bulletin showed Hank, who is by himself, feeling paranoid and tired, like he hadn't slept in days. "Welcome back to Action 5 News! We may not have the latest, or breakest news, about the attack on the Big City, but we want to remind everyone. Robots and tanks from unknown origin had been destroying buildings and injuring others. The authorities and military had been doing their best to fight back, but they were not strong enough for whatever, or whoever is attacking them. If you know any information about this, please contact-"
In a loud noise, the TV lost signal, only showing a scribble of black and white, changing each frame. "Darn!" Farmer John groaned, "Not even the TV wants to help us!" "Has television even helped us?" Swanky argued, "It was just repeating information!" "Sorry, Swanky... I just can't..." Farmer John apologized. Sheep nodded at the farmer, before looking at X Agent. He noticed that he looked sad. "X Agent?" Sheep called. X Agent looked at Sheep, "What is it?" "I know this may seem rough, but I promise things will be better and go back to the way they were." Sheep reassured. X Agent was doubtful about that, "Are you sure?" "I'm sure." Sheep tried to put on a smile. Then, through the loud noise on the TV, there was someone trying to get attention. "Testing! Testing! Is this on?" X Agent took notice of the voice, "Wait... That voice sounds... Familiar..." Sheep grabbed his hoof, "Don't worry. It's your mind playing tricks on you." Just as Sheep said that, the voice got louder and clear along with a figure being formed. When the TV returned signal and produced a clear picture, not even words could express how X Agent felt when he saw who was on.
"Hello, Big City! It is I, Admiral Qualities! You maybe wondering why is the Big City under attack, or better yet, who is doing all of this... You see, the answer to that question is right on your screens. I can confirm that the cause of the attack is myself... However, I don't feel any shame about it. If anything, you should pin the blame on someone else... Someone who is... Lurking in the Big City, hiding from me... The point of the attack is to get them to turn himself in... Once that's out of the way, we will leave you alone... To that someone... I know you're watching this... You did this... If you just stayed with me the whole time, then everyone will be at peace: your friends, your family, your loved ones... It isn't too late to change your mind..."
Once the message had ended and began to loop, X Agent began to panic: The man who traumatized him had returned. "IT'S HIM IT'S HIM IT'S HIM! OH GOD IT'S HIM! OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD!" he cried. Almost in an instant, Sheep hugged him softly and tightly. "Shh... It's okay, X Agent... Don't listen to HIM... He's just scaring you... He won't find us here... I promise he won't capture you again... I promise..." He comforted, almost bursting into tears himself. Seeing this, Farmer John quickly turned off the TV. He, along with Swanky, were concerned for the two sheep. "I know it's not the best time to ask this... But what happened? What did that man on the TV did to X Agent?" Farmer John asked. "You never told us..." Swanky added. Sheep sighed, "I don't know if I should tell you..." "Well... It maybe X Agent's story, but it might make him feel better if you tell us..." Farmer John suggested. "Farmer..." Sheep replied, "I don't think X Agent would appreciate it if I-" "Tell everything..." X Agent interrupted. Sheep was surprised, "Are you sure, X Agent?" "They DESERVE to know..." X Agent added, "They're my friends, Sheep..." Sheep slowly nodded, "Okay... Though, if I'm going to tell everything... Please cover your ears..." X Agent understood as he covered his ears and looked away. Sheep looked back at the farmer and poodle, "It's a long story..." Sheep told the two what happened in Toledo: From X Agent being kidnapped, about what Admiral Qualities did, being forcefully used for the ray-gun, and eventually escaping and returning to the Big City. Once he had finished, Farmer John and Swanky felt sorry for X Agent and are willing to do anything for him. "Oh my god..." Swanky gasped, "I don't know what to say other than... I'm so sorry for what X Agent had to go through." "Is there anything we can do?" Farmer John questioned. Sheep looked at X Agent, "I told them, you can uncover your ears now." X Agent did so and saw Farmer John and Swanky feeling more worried than ever. He did not know what to say, so he further grabbed onto Sheep for comfort. "I think it's best if you leave X Agent and me be..." Sheep advised. Farmer John and Swanky nodded in agreement as they gave the two sheep some space for comfort. "Did telling them make you feel better?" Sheep asked, stroking X Agent's back. "A little, Sheep..." X Agent replied, "I don't know what to do now... HE is now after me..." "We don't know what to do either..." Sheep told, "But I promise that he'll leave us alone eventually, he won't find us here..." "But what should we do now?" X Agent asked. "You can hold onto me as long as you want..." Sheep comforted. X Agent sighed, not saying a word as he continued to hold onto Sheep.
At the taken-over Top Secret Military Base, Admiral Qualities is far from pleased by the fact that X Agent had not turned himself in, despite causing a lot of chaos in the Big City for nearly 4 hours now. "God damn it!" He yelled, "Dr. Oh No No! Your plan of making X Agent turn himself in didn't do jackshit!" "Firstly, it's Oh No No No. Not Oh No No." Dr. Oh No corrected, "Secondly, I didn't say that my plan was going to work! It's only an attempt." "AN ATTEMPT?!" Admiral Qualities responded, "YOU ACTED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO WORK!" "I tried." Dr. Oh No replied, feeling panicked. Admiral Qualities rolled his eyes, "How about we ask the taken-over Plot Device for help?" Just as he said that, the Plot Device rolled in. "Hello. What do you need, Admiral?" Admiral Qualities began to think, "Plot Device, can you tell me where X Agent is?" The Plot Device tried to think, but all of a sudden, she started to malfunction as sparks flew out of her. "My apologies, but it appears that Dr. Oh No No No's code to modify me had caused an issue for finding important people!" She told. "Doctor, can you do something about it?" Admiral Qualities requested. "I'm sorry, but I'm unable." Dr. Oh No told, "Modifying the Plot Device's components has caused some of her code to be corrupted. The only way to fix it is to do a factory reset, which will mean that she will no longer trust us and only the Secret Military Organization." The admiral groaned in response. "Though, we can ask her a similar question?" Dr. Oh No suggested. Admiral Qualities looked back at the Plot Device, feeling impatient. "Plot Device, do you know how we can get X Agent?" He asked. "How about you and Dr. Oh No No No find him yourself?" She suggested. "Is this a joke?" Admiral Qualities questioned. "No, I'm not joking. You and Dr. Oh No No No need to find X Agent yourselves." The Plot Device added. "But who's going to control the robots, the tanks, and the base?" Dr. Oh No questioned. "Did she say that you could look with me?" Admiral Qualities asked. "With Dr. Oh No No No's help, it will be easier to find X Agent!" The Plot Device suggested, "As for the robots, tanks, and the base, I can control them for you while you're away!" Admiral Qualities sighed, "Okay... Plot Device, you can take over the base... Dr. Oh No No No, you can come with me... As long as you're helpful..." "I WILL be helpful, sir!" Dr. Oh No cheered. "Don't call me sir." Admiral Qualities demanded, "Oh! Almost forgot something!" Admiral Qualities quietly walked away, before coming back with his shotgun in hand. "Woah... Why do you need that?" Dr. Oh No questioned. "It will make it easier for X Agent to surrender!" Admiral Qualities laughed. "Are... You going to shoot him?" Dr. Oh No asked. "If I need to..." Admiral Qualities told, "Now come on... Lets just get X Agent..." Dr. Oh No slowly nodded as he followed the admiral out of the base, feeling unsure about the idea of using a shotgun in making X Agent surrender.
Back at the Farm, things hadn't changed, neither for the better or the worse. X Agent, while he had calmed down, was still devastated by Admiral Qualities' return and couldn't stop thinking about ending up being captured again. Everyone else, especially Sheep, had been trying to comfort him as much as they could and promised to him that the admiral will never capture him again. All they can do now is wait, or so it seems. "Sheep... I know that HE is the one who planned this attack... But I wish I could do something to help and have revenge on him..." X Agent told, "But... I don't want to get captured... Again..." "I know, X Agent..." Sheep soothed, "We all feel the same..." Then there was a sudden knock at the door. Farmer John was annoyed by this change of mood, "Great! Who can it be at THIS time?!" "Farmer, calm down. It's just the door." Swanky told. "If it's just the door, then I'm going to be annoyed." Farmer John told before making his way to the door, "What do you want? Can't you see that the Big City's being under attack?" He opened the door, but all he saw was someone who tried to look professional. He was wearing a red coat, a black bowtie, dark trousers, and polished shoes. "I know, Mr. Farmer." the man told, "I want to see Sheep and X Agent right away." "If you want them, then go away. They're too bothered to see you!" Farmer John demanded. Just before he can close the door, Sheep recognized the voice and stopped him. "Wait! I know him!" He told. "You know him?" Farmer John questioned. "Yes, I know him, and he knows me." the man told, "I once hired him to stop Dr. Oh No No No from taking over General Specific's base and putting an elephant in a sheep-powered ray-gun to destroy the world. In retrospect, that was very embarrassing." "Why do you need Sheep and X Agent?" Farmer John asked. "You see, the Secret British Service had been keeping an eye on the attack and we think we could provide assistance in stopping it." the man told. "Well, can you at least introduce yourself?" Farmer John requested. The man cleared his throat, "The name's Cheeros, Thromobo Cheeros." Farmer John looked at Sheep, not knowing what to do. "You know him, what do you want to do?" He asked. "Let him in and talk to me and X Agent... Though he must be careful with his wording..." Farmer John then looked at Cheeros, "Okay... Go on in, but DON'T upset anyone... Please." "I'll be more than happy to fulfil your requests!" Cheeros agreed as Sheep guided him in the house.
After being welcomed, Thromobo Cheeros saw X Agent sitting down alone, looking away. "Ahem..." He called, "X Agent?" X Agent was surprised by this and started to panic, "WHO ARE YOU? YOU BETTER NOT TAKE ME TO HIM-" "X Agent! Calm down! He wants to help us!" Sheep comforted, "He's an enemy of... Him..." X Agent took a deep breath, "My apologies, it's just... Everything..." "I understand, X Agent." Cheeros told, "Even if I don't understand your bleating." He then walked a little closer to X Agent, "I'm here to see you and Sheep... You see: We been keeping an eye on... The admiral for a while now. We know what he did to you back in Toledo, and we have been waiting for the perfect time to strike, which is now. He is working with Dr. Oh No No No in attempt to turn yourself in. They had not only taken over General Specific's base, but they also made the Plot Device follow their command, and had built some robots and tanks to initiate their plan. Since their attempt failed, they're now going out of their way to find you, with the Plot Device to continue the attack." X Agent was stuttered by this, now feeling more nervous and scared than ever. Sheep was confused by Dr. Oh No's return, "Wait... I thought you had captured Dr. Oh No No No!" "By the tone of your bleating, you seemed to be confused by Dr. Oh No No No's sudden return. We have made the mistake of not capturing him when we did, as we thought he was dead." Cheeros explained before looking back at X Agent, "X Agent... Since you're a very strong sheep, you might have the chance to stop the admiral and Dr. Oh No No No." X Agent started to panic again, "You're telling me that you want me to stop HIM, the doctor, the Plot Device, and their robots and tanks?! I'm a pathetic little sheep compared to them, I will be dead if I tried... Or worse, get captured..." "You're mistaken, X Agent. We just want you to stop the admiral and Dr. Oh No No No." Cheeros corrected, "As for everything else, I will try my best to reset the Plot Device and shut down the robots and tanks... Hope it helps..." X Agent frowned, "I don't know... Don't you realize what the ADMIRAL put me through?" "The admiral appears to be unstoppable... But we know you can stop him and get revenge for what he did... You're stronger than you think, X Agent... We believe in you..." Cheeros encouraged. X Agent bleated, not knowing what to do. Farmer John came in, "How about you give them some time to think?" "More than happy to." Cheeros replied, "I'll be outside when you made your mind." He then walked out of the house and closed the door, leaving Sheep and X Agent to think about his plan. "X Agent... You don't have to do his plan if you don't want to..." Sheep comforted. "Yeah... Thromobo... Whatever, seems like a crazy man!" Swanky agreed, "I'm sure we'll be able to come up with a clever plan to stop the attack!" "Well... It's really up to you, X Agent..." Farmer John said. X Agent started to think about Cheeros' idea. Sheep stroked X Agent's back, What do you want to do, X Agent?" "Do you have any ideas, Sheep?" X Agent asked. "Well... If you want my word, then it's worth giving a try..." Sheep suggested. X Agent looked away and continued to think. Knowing this, everyone went quiet and waited for X Agent to make his choice.
After about a minute of nothing, X Agent slowly got up. "I have decided... I will go along with Cheeros' plan... If it's the only way to help the Big City." Everyone was surprised by X Agent's response, but was supportive of him. "Well... If it's what you want to do... Then go for it!" Swanky encouraged. "If you can take good care of my sheep, then you can take care of that admiral!" Farmer John cheered. X Agent looked at everyone, "... Well, all I can say really is that I will try..." He then looked at Sheep, "Sheep, will you come with me though? I could use some support." Sheep hugged X Agent, "I'm more than happy to... I'm your husband, and I will help you anyway I can..." Soon, the two walked outside the house, with Farmer John and Swanky cheering for their upcoming victory.
Outside, Thromobo Cheeros was waiting for X Agent's response. He was trying to be patient, but knew something had to be done. Even he was beginning to think his plan was nonsensical to him. "Hope I haven't upset anyone..." He thought to himself. To his shock, he saw Sheep and X Agent, feeling much different. "So, X Agent... Have you made your decision?" "I have... I will go along with your plan..." X Agent told. "That's great to hear!" Cheeros cheered, "Though why is Sheep here?" "I'm his support..." Sheep answered. Cheeros understood everything, despite not understanding bleating, "I see... You two go into the Big City, I will go into the base and reset the Plot Device... The best thing I could say is I wish you good luck." X Agent nodded before he began to make his way to the Big City to confront Admiral Qualities, with Sheep on his side...
