The Base
Today was a pretty uncharacteristic morning for the young spyracers, seeing as it was so quiet.
The entire group was lounging around enjoying their breaktime, waiting for a mission to pop up...everyone but Tony ofcourse who was out and about with Layla and Shashi currently.
"Frostee! There's like seven different flavors of froyo in here!" Cisco shouted as he filled up 6 different cones of froyo.
He was confused when he recieved no response.
"Frostee? Frosteeeeee?" Cisco called out as he walked around the base.
"Frostee's not here Cisco!" Echo's voice shouted.
Geleel and Echo were on the couch, the former had his head in the latter's lap as he opted to simply relax as Echo was busy drawing in her book above his face.
"So, what do ya think?" Echo questioned the dreadhead as she turned to show her extremely well detailed drawing of Geleel's camaro.
"I think I'm in love with this picture..." Geleel said as he almost instantly sat up and his eyes glossed over how beautiful the drawing was.
"Yup, tell me how awesome I am." Echo said with a grin as Geleel chuckled at her.
"The rims, my signature blue and white colorway, you even got the little details on my headlights, this is pe-" Geleel is cutoff as the sound of Tony's charger immediately drew their attention.
"Guys! New mission! Someone call Ms. Nowhere!" Tony shouted as he came in to the base.
Later
Ms. Nowhere was now at the base along with Gary as everyone sat and listened to Tony detail the mission Shashi had given him.
"So Shashi said he wants me and Layla to steal from this Russian guy's high security suite, and apparently no one else knows about this top secret plan!" Tony exclaimed as his crew looked at him in confusion.
"Woah, that's some crazy trust fall shit Tony." Echo said as everyone else nodded.
"Right? And since we're gonna know where he is at all times, this is the perfect opportunity for you guys to sneak in to his hideout." Tony explained to them.
Ms. Nowhere then randomly walked to the middle of the room as she continously stepped in place, much to the confusion of everyone else.
"Um Nowhere...what the hell are you doing?" Geleel questioned her.
"Minding my own business, ever try it before?" Nowhere questioned as she hysterically laughed at her own joke, unfortunately she was the only one that found it amusing judging by everyone else's deadpanned facial expressions.
"Wow, little haters, anyways, Gary, bring up the satellite feed of Shashi's house." Nowhere ordered the bald man as he did just that and the big screen showed the feed.
"We tracked the little drone you urchins placed on the train car in the last race back to Shashi's crib...is crib still a popular term in your age group?" Nowhere questioned the teens.
"Eh, you can't pull it off." Echo said with a shrug as Nowhere growled.
"Anyways! We're looking for a connection between the three billionaires Shashi has robbed, we think the keys Shashi has stolen from the billionaires are likely stashed in his house." Nowhere informed them as she continued to do her unnecessary steps.
"You know, we still have no clue what these keys even are or what they do." Geleel reminded her with an arched brow.
"That's what we're trying to find out, Barlett! Quit interrupting! While Tony works with Layla and Shashi, you four...wait, we're missing someone here, where's that one kid? His name sounds like an ice cream." Nowhere said as everyone instantly knew who she meant.
"Oh...Frostee, yea he might not be here for a while." Geleel revealed as Nowhere arched a brow now.
"Yea, the little guy's only 13 so he's at his moms' shop...like...a lot." Cisco explained as Nowhere sighed.
"Ugh! I'll go get ice cream boy, Toretto, meet up with Layla and Shashi, and you three! Head to Shashi's crib and wait for me to come back with your tiny friend, follow me Gary, it's time we go get some ice cream..." Nowhere said as she walked to the exit.
"That sounds incredibly creepy ma'am." Gary said shakily.
"Shutup Gary!" She shouted back.
"And you still said crib weirdly!" Geleel shouted as they exited, he could still here Nowhere groaning.
"Okay guys, you heard our orders, let's do this." Tony said as they all smirked and got ready to leave, mission time is always the best time.
Later
Geleel and Echo sat parallel from Cisco and Frostee as they were all on a speedboat.
This is what they would be using to get to Shashi's place.
While he was busy with the russian Sadirokav guy Ms. Nowhere mentioned, they'd sneak in and get some answers.
"So your moms actually bought the science camp lie?" Cisco questioned his tiny best friend.
"Wait, it was a lie?" Frostee questioned in confusion, he actually thought Ms. Nowhere was running a science camp.
"It scares me that you're somehow our smartest member..." Geleel said Frostee glared at him.
Before the conversation could continue a beep from the walkie alarmed them.
"Okay guys you're good to go, Shashi just left his compound!" Tony's voice stated.
Geleel nodded at Echo as she pulled the boat's gear down and they began speeding towards the penthouse.
"There it is guys, ya know, for a weirdo that's obsessed with the name Toretto, I gotta admit, Shashi has a nice taste for houses." Geleel said as the boat neared the house.
Another beep from the walkies gains their attention.
"Operation: Shake it up is ready, we're ready to launch our fake earthquake as soon as you kids are in position!" Nowhere said over the walkie as they finally got to the house.
"We're here Ms. Nowhere." Echo assured the woman as Geleel shot the grappling hook onto the balcony of Shashi's penthouse.
They then began scaling up the grappling line.
"This is so cool! I knew earthquakes were created by the goverment and their weather machines!" Cisco shouted as they continued going up.
"Yea did you see it? It's a giant piston that slams into the ground to create a localized tremor!" Frostee shouted as they continued up the line.
"I'm taking one to connect to my subwoofer." Echo said with a smirk.
"I want one to connect to Shashi's face." Geleel said as everyone stopped scaling the line and stared at him in concern.
"What? Too far?" He questioned with a shaky chuckle.
"Eh, nah, I feel the same way, that was actually on my top 3 things to do with the machine." Echo said as they continued going up the line.
When they finally got to the top Echo brought out her walkie.
"Okay Nowhere, start the earthquake up." She said into the device before they walked up to the penthouse glass doors.
"Affirmative, Gary! Do it!" They heard Nowhere shout as the area around them shook for a little, the plan was in motion for real now.
"Alright Frost, you're up." Geleel said as Frostee walked up the doors and placed a plate with his emblem on it on their locking system.
After a short moment the plate glowed green and the doors opened.
"Wham and bam." Frostee said with a smirk as they swiftly ran through the doors.
"Wait! Slow your roll guys, I still gotta hack Shashi's security system." Frostee said as they stopped dead in their tracks and he typed away on his tablet.
"It'll be live in 10 seconds." He explained as a timer started on the tablet.
"Anddd, we're in, let's go guys!" Frostee shouted as the group swiftly ran into the lounge of the house.
"You sure they can't see us right Frost?" Echo questioned him.
"Or hear us." Cisco added as Frostee wretched.
"Man, I wish I couldn't smell youuu." Frostee said as he covered his nose in disgust.
"Sorry, I get gassy when I'm nervous." Cisco said as he let out a loud fart.
"Ew!/Come on man!" Echo and Geleel shouted simultaneously.
"Let's just check this place for the keys." Echo said as they fanned out and began searching different areas.
"Woah! A screenquarium! Guys check this out!" Frostee shouted as Echo and Cisco ran over to him.
They immediately got off track and begin admiring all of the cool rich guy stuff Shashi had.
Geleel arched his brow as he took note of Frostee nerding out, Echo fangirling over a giant painting and Cisco's face being stuffed with froyo from a dispenser.
"Come on guys, can we please focus on the mission at hand here? We don't have much time to find those keys!" He exclaimed.
"This is rich coming from Mr. I'm gonna win the race and prove that I can be better than any Toretto." Echo reminded him with air quotes whilst deepening her voice when she was mocking him as Frostee and Cisco nodded in agreement.
"Hey! I don't even sound like that! And for the record, I've grown since then, I've matured as a man." Geleel said as he crossed his arms.
"Grown since then? It happened yesterday!" Cisco shouted.
"Yea well, shutu-woah!" Geleel exclaimed as he accidentally stepped on a button that was in the floor.
"Uh-oh." Everyone said simultaneously as the floor split and something began rising from the ground.
They all watched as an elevator was bringing some sort of car up from the ground.
It was a green camaro with black stripes...but this wasn't just any camaro, see, it left everyone else in awe, but it MESMERIZED Geleel.
"A 1977 Camaro Z28!? Maybe I was wrong about this guy...this is awesome!" He shouted as he began approaching the car.
"Hey!" Echo shouted as she grabbed his arm.
"We still have a mission here remember? What happened to growth as a man?" She questioned him.
"Growth can wait! Must, have, Z28!" Geleel shouted savagely as he ripped out of Echo's grip causing her to go flying back in to the painting.
She threw her hand up when she hit the painting, but what none of them expected was the hidden button in the painting that she had pressed accidentally causing the painting to move down and reveal a secret door.
"Wow, well that happened." Cisco said in awe as they all stood before the door now.
Echo then remembered something, they definitely could not move before putting everything back in place.
"Okay Geleel, time to say goodbye to the Z28, we can't leave it up here, Shashi'll get suspicious." Echo informed him as the dreadheae gained a panicked look.
"Noooo! Just 5 more minutes in heaven please!?" He begged her as he got on his knees and hugged her legs.
"Get a grip dude this isn't a good look!" The greenhaired vixen shouted as she slapped Geleel in the face.
He held his right cheek as he looked up at Echo frantically, this was TORTURE.
"Dawg, this is brutal." Cisco said to Frostee.
"Ofcourse it is, you know how Geleel gets around camaros, she might as well kill him at this point." Frostee whispered back.
Echo then pressed the button as the car began descending and the floor came back together.
"No! My baby...you will always be missed..." Geleel said dramatically as he rubbed the ground where that beauty just stood.
"Ugh, why are boys like this?" Echo questioned as she walked over to Cisco and Frostee.
After about a ten more seconds of being melodramatic Geleel finally walked back over to them and cleared his throat.
"You good now? Got all that out your system?" Echo questioned him.
"Yes ma'am, I promised her I wouldn't cry." Geleel said in reference to the Z28 as Echo shook her head.
"Greattt, now do you mind thinking of a way for us to get through the door?" Echo questioned him.
"Oh! I can handle this part." Frostee said as he grabbed the medallion on his neck, accidentally firing a laser at the roof in the process.
The others looked up at the singe spot in the roof then back down to Frostee who chuckled shakily.
"Whoops, wrong button, most of these are for lasers I guess..." Frostee said as he walked up to the lock and hacked it with his medallion.
The door then opened as they noticed it led to a elevator.
"Nice! We got in!" Cisco shouted as they entered the elevator and began descending.
When they got to the bottom they quickly recognized it to be Shashi's evil lair.
"Yoo, this place is nice." Echo said as they took note of all the fancy cars and crystals.
"Look at all the cars!" Frostee shouted as they looked around for any signs of the keys.
"Hey guys, I think it's about time we checked on Tony, Frostee, did you text him about your crystal data theory?" Geleel questioned the kid who nodded.
"Yup! Approximately 5 minutes ago." Frostee affirmed.
Geleel then brought up his spywatch as he prepared to dial Tony.
"Yo Tony! How's your date with hillbarb goin?" Geleel questioned him as the others continued searching.
"Ack! Wait what? G I don't have time for a tease-off right now I'm tryna get this crazy bird off me!" Tony shouted as Geleel arched a brow.
"T what the hell is happening over there?" He questioned as he then heard a Owl cry.
"It's a long story! Layla left because the russian guy is coming back! But I'm testing Frostee's crystal thing! Can we talk later?" Tony questioned as he cut the link.
"Well, I got nothing from that, let's keep searching." Echo said as Geleel sighed and got up to join them.
Tony
Tony didn't know how the hell his day possibly could've led to this.
He woke up this morning and ate a big bowl of Cocoa puffs, then he went out for a drive and somehow ended up getting recruited to go on a mission with Layla.
Big newsflash, Layla left him to do this on his own.
Now he was dangling from a mad Russian man's balcony as the same man's stupid bird was currently almost giving out his position.
'If this stupid bird sells me out Sadirokov's gonna kill me! I can't even radio the others for help, what the hell am I gonna do?' Tony mentally questioned himself.
"What is it Sova?" Sadirokov questioned his owl who continued to screech much to Tony's dismay.
"Shit." He said underneath his breath.
"Let go." An all too familiar voice said as he turned to look down and see Layla on his right.
"What the fuck? What are you doing here?" He questioned her in a hushed tone.
"Saving you dumbass, now let go." Layla repeated in a hushed tone.
"No way! Why should I trust you?" Tony questioned her.
"Just trust me, I'll catch you." Layla assured him.
"Aww, do you have to go number dava, Sova?" Tony heard the man ask his bird.
He made the horrible mistake of looking up as Sova began letting bird droppings...drop on his face, much to Tony's evident discomfort.
"Eugh!" Layla wretched.
The feces became too much for Tony as he lost his grip on the ledge and began plummeting with a loud scream following.
Layla quickly sprung in to action as she leaped after him.
The country girl swiftly caught Tony as she began running down the building's side with a harness.
Tony continued screaming the entire way down even when they finally hit the ground.
"Hey birdbrain, we're on the ground now!" She shouted as his eyes opened.
"Oh, sorry..." The young Toretto trailed off as she pushed him off.
"Hey, thanks for coming back for me...and keeping me from splattering on the ground." Tony said as he stared at the stoic blonde.
"Well, if you had fallen to your death then the crystal might've broken." Layla said with a flat tone.
"Hey, where's Shashi?" Tony questioned her.
"In the car heading home, why?" Layla questioned him with an arched brow as he chuckled nervously and turned away from her and secretly radioed his team.
"You guys need to get out, now!" Tony whispered/yelled in an urgent tone.
Echo
"Okay soo, Shashi's coming back and we're still here, any bright ideas guys?" Echo questioned the group as Frostee and Cisco panicked.
"Oh no! What do you think's gonna happen if Shashi catches us in here?" Cisco questioned allowed.
"What do you think happens to an antelope that's caught in a Lion's den?" Frostee questioned back as Cisco gained an even more frantic expression.
"Will you two focus? We gotta get out of here now!" Geleel shouted as they headed up to the top floor again.
They then began making sure everything was put back in place before.
"Frostee! Hurry up man!" Cisco shouted.
"I'm trying to! We have to make sure everything is back in the correct place or Shashi will know we were here!" Frostee shouted as they put the painting back up.
"Okay, I think that's everything, now let's go!" Echo shouted as the crew ran back outside and to the grappling line.
It was now night time, they'd spent more time in there than anticipated.
Geleel begins going down first, followed by Cisco, then Frostee and finally, Echo.
Cisco was continuously farting due to nervousness as Geleel began finding it hard to breathe.
"Cisco, if you fart one more time I'm gonna yell!" Geleel shouted as Echo abd Frostee chuckled at him.
"You're already yelling! And you know I can't help it! This is nervous gas!" Cisco shouted back.
"You guys okay?" Tony asked over the comms.
"Yup, just makin our way back to the boat, everyone is fine." Echo reassured him.
"Speak for yourself woman! You're not the one who's having his sinuses attacked by burrito and chicken grease flatulence!" Geleel exclaimed in anger.
"Is Geleel okay...?" Tony questioned.
"Yup, he's just being Geleel, always whining." Echo said with a smirk as Geleel glared at her.
"First my dream date with the Z28 was ruined, now you desecrate my name...I hate you Echo." Geleel said with a deadpan.
"I love you too GiGi, now let's go home!" Echo shouted as everyone minus Geleel whooped and prepared to head to the base.
The base
"So the codes aren't the keys?" Nowhere questioned Tony as the crew sat before her.
"Nope, Shashi said they're just to get in to the next race." Tony reassured her.
"And you four found nothing at Shashi's crib?" Nowhere questioned Echo, Geleel, Cisco and Frostee who all gave her headshakes.
"Other than the fact Cisco smells like a public bathroom when he's nervous, no, we have absolutely nothing." Geleel said as Cisco growled at him.
"Well not nothing I suppose, stealing the data crystal from Sadirokav meant he was unable to trade those codes for weapons of mass destruction." Nowhere deducted.
"Woah...Ms. Nowhere turned into Ms. Positive, now that's a first." Geleel said as Nowhere deadpanned at him.
"Sooo, I take this as a, we did good?" Echo questioned her.
"I suppose this one time you guys didn't completely mess up the mission." Nowhere said as she walked towards the exit to leave.
"It's never a straightforward compliment with her..." Frostee deducted.
"Eh, I'll take it, it's better than nothing, let's party! Hit it Cisco!" Tony shouted as Cisco went over to the DJ booth and they all began cheering and partying.
"Frostee, you got the lights right?" Geleel questioned him.
"You know it! DJ Drone for the win!" Frostee shouted as his drone flew up and began lighting up the base.
Cisco began playing "Hyponotize by Biggie Smalls," as the group got up to dance.
The mission wasn't a success per say, but atleast they could say it wasn't a total bust...unfortunately, the young spyracers were in no way shape or form prepared for what was coming for them.
