A heavily armed vehicle drove over a sewer hatch. Inside the vehicle were several men, all armoured up and holding weapons at the ready. The leader of the group held up two photos, one of a red headed woman in a blue jumpsuit and the other was a man with slightly balding brown curly hair and glasses.
"Listen up, we're going after Baxter Stockman and Maddie Fenton." The leader of this group addressed. "Both of them were TCRI's leading genetic scientist and Fenton was also the leading scientist in ectoplasmic research and weaponry, but they both went rogue. They stole billions of dollars' worth of research, refused to hand over the project which was named project Phantom, harboured ghosts and created an actual mutant. They're holed up in a makeshift lab pf a abandoned building. Each of you has been issued a high-powered anti-mutant and ghost neutraliser. Whatever mutant they made, this can unmake it and make ghosts weak enough for re-capture."
He pointed at a screen and finished, "Cynthia Utrom herself will quarterbacking from HQ. Anything to add Cynthia?"
You couldn't see Cynthia's face, but she said, "This mission is of the utmost importance. Failure will be frowned upon and remember, I want the boy alive as well as the mutant Stockman made and whatever those two used to make it."
"You heard her boys, lock and load." The leader said.
A glowing green light could be seen from a room at an abandoned building. Inside, Baxter Stockman was grabbing several ingredients from the shelf. In a crib was a mutant baby fly and sitting next to him was a baby boy with black hair and blue eyes. A couple of ghost children were playing near the crib, one had flaming blue hair and the other was had a small pirate hat on.
Stockman mixed the ingredients together and the Maddie Fenton added a small drop of ectoplasm into a vase, which turned all the chemicals into a bright green, liquid ooze.
"We've done it young ones. We perfected the ooze." Baxter Stockman said, smiling at the young ones.
The baby boy started crying a bit, but the ghost girl with flaming blue hair picked up the baby and handed him to Maddie, who immediately began to rock him back and forth, calming the little one down.
"Thank you Ember. He's still so frightened of what happened at TCRI. I can't believe TCRI was not only going to create mutants and ghosts into weapons, but they tried to make my own son one as well." Maddie said caressing the baby boy.
Stockman patted her on the shoulder and said as he gestured to the jars containing several baby animals, "I know. It's horrible to think about, but don't worry. Soon I'll be creating more mutants and together, we will protect each other as a family. I never had a family, I always felt a greater connection to the animals I experimented on. After I create us all a family, I think we can finally be happy."
Suddenly the floors began to shake as the armed men began to break down the door. Baxter shouted at Maddie, "You must leave! Now Maddie! Save yourself and your son!"
"But what about you?" Maddie asked, worried about her friend.
"There's no time! GO NOW!" Baxter shouted as he held the ooze in his hand.
Maddie ran to the window and jumped out, climbing down the fire escape. The men broke in and a couple of them pinned Baxter to the wall.
"Where is the specimen and where is Fenton?" The leader asked.
"Sir! We just spotted Fenton! She's on the run with Project Phantom!" One of the men reported outside.
"Go after her! We've got things covered here!" The leader commanded.
They suddenly heard a noise. And then again and again, flying around the room. Suddenly the baby mutant fly and Ember began their attack. Knocking out several of the men and then the mutant fly landed straight on the leader's face and scratched it up.
The leader screamed and then stood up and aimed his weapon straight at the mutant fly which was sitting on some tanks of ectoplasm.
Stockman tried to warn him, "No don't! These chemicals are highly combustible!
The leader ignored him and fired, Stockman grabbed the baby fly just as the chemicals exploded. There was an explosion and the leader stood up to find Stockman was lying on the ground dead and most of the research and chemicals were now destroyed.
"Cynthia I'm sorry. We lost everything, but several of the men are still tracking down Maddie Fenton and Project Phantom." The leader reported.
Cynthia groaned in frustration and ordered, "Bring me anything you can find. We'll replicate the research, no matter how long it takes. Stockman's and Fenton's research must live on! And with it, a new world itself."
The jar of baby mutants were gone from the lab as well as the baby mutant fly, Ember and the other young ghost. As they picked up Baxter's body, the vial of ooze slipped out of his jacket and fell into the drainage pipe heading for the sewer.
