Several hours had passed since the rescue of Parker at a factory in Italy. Kayo has gathered everyone in the lounge where she would tell everyone her secret. Over the last few months, the guilt weighing on her had become too great to hold back anyone and the meeting with Banino only opened the flood gates. She is even surprised that John had come down to join her with everyone else.
"You've always treated me like family, and I hope what I'm about to tell you doesn't change that," Kayo starts.
"Come on Kayo, did you dunk Thunderbird Shadow again? How bad can it be?" Gordon jokes but pauses when he sees Kayo's expression and a glare from Alan, "I'll let you finish."
"Something may come to light about my family... and I need you to hear it from me first," Kayo explains and watches as some of the brothers share a look, "The Hood—"
However, Kayo never gets to finish as EOS' emergency alarm goes off causing John to stand up and open the hologram of Earth.
"It's like the perfect storm of emergencies all across the globe," John notes looking at seven warning symbols, "We're gonna have to mobilise. Every one of us, including you, Brains."
"Kayo...?" Marion trails.
"It can wait," Kayo answers quickly.
"Thanks," Scott states, "All right everyone, let's fly." Everyone gets up and runs to action stations but Sally grabs Kayo's arm before she could make off.
"Next time kid," Sally says warmly.
"I just hope I'm not too late," Kayo mutters.
"Me too," Sally sighs, but Kayo doesn't hear it as she rushes over to her chair.
5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Thunderbirds are Go!
In the main Thunderbirds hanger, John heads into the space elevator and launches from the island heading back up to Thunderbird 5 so he can launch a pod. EOS brings up the holo-map again so John can explain to everyone what's going on. "Okay everyone, listen up," John orders, "Thunderbird 1, high winds have trapped a climber in Mount Haushan. He's taken shelter in a crevasse but can't get down."
"F-A-B," Scott and Marion say.
"Thunderbird 2, you've got a cave collapse in Spain. They need excavation and heavy lifting gear," John continues.
"I'm on my way," Virgil says.
"Thunderbird 3, I'm sending coordinates now. A transport shuttle with a crew of two has malfunctioned. You need to kill the engines and tow them back to orbit," John explains.
"Piece of cake,"
"Thunderbird 4, a deep-sea submersible has sunk in a trench off Šipan. Passenger status unknown," John informs.
"Load up what you need Thunderbird 2. I'll launch from the island," Gordon states.
"F-A-B. Good luck," Virgil says.
"EOS. Thunderbird 5 will need to launch a pod. The satellite commanding the global flood control network has gone offline. I'll need you to walk me through the repairs," John says.
"Happy to help John," EOS responds.
"And I'll take over monitor duty," Sally says sitting down at her son's desk, "John, you focus on your own mission."
"Thanks Grandma," John says, "Thunderbird 6, a private plane has run into some engine trouble off the coast of Indonesia. You'll need to see if you can make any repairs or decide on an evacuation."
"R-A-D," Brains says.
"Finally, Thunderbird Shadow, someone thought they could cross the Great Victoria Desert on a motorbike. The distress signal is weak, but I think we can pinpoint their location," John finishes.
"I'm on it," Kayo answers.
"We all have our missions. Any questions?" Scott asks. A series of 'no's' is the reply. "All right then. Thunderbirds Are Go!"

Thunderbirds are Go!
Little does everyone know as all the Thunderbirds fly away from the island, a familiar ship with three people on board heads ever closer to the island.
December 1st, 2061 - 19:27 ACDT
Kayo flies Thunderbird Shadow over the Great Victoria Desert in South Australia. It's shadow flickers in the sand and rocks due to the rough terrain. Looking around there isn't anything for miles around except the vast expanse of sand and rock.
"Thunderbird 1, do you copy?" Kayo asks.
"Go ahead, Shadow," Marion responds.
"I've been searching for hours, there's nothing here. I'm not seeing any sign of... anything," Kayo notes, "This should be the exact location of the signal."
"Keep looking," Scott says jetpacking down alongside Marion, "Whoever sent that distress call has to be down there somewhere."
"Kayo's not the only one, Bro," Gordon adds as he continues to search the trench of the coast of Croatia, "This trench is nothing, but a whole lot of empty. No visuals. Scans are clear."
"I can assure you that the distress signals were genuine," John mutters confused, "Something doesn't add up."
Kayo gives up her search in the air. Ahead, she spots a rocky mountainous gorge. She pushes a lever to the right of her and the platform the cockpit is on lowers, revealing the Shadow Bike. The bike's engine revs and it sores off the platform and into the gorge. Thunderbird Shadow's landing legs extend out from underneath the engines and as the platform encloses itself back with the main body, Shadow lands itself vertically against the rock face.
Kayo slips through the rocks at full speed and comes to a stop when she sees the abandoned bike in the open. The Shadow Bike screeches to a stop and Kayo heads over to it. "Wait a minute. I've found the bike. No rider." She puts a bottle of water down by the bike and takes a look around.
"Could they have taken shelter somewhere?" Scott asks.
"Not without leaving footprints," Kayo detects and studies the site around the bike. The sand around the bike is clearly disturbed by some sort of impact. More conclusively, looking around there is no tire tracks in the sand other than hers. "Judging from the impact zone, it looks like this motorbike was dropped here."
"This is Thunderbird 3," Alan says joining the chat. He's matched Thunderbird 3's speed with that of the shuttle and left his rocket on autopilot as he unstraps himself from the pilots seat to prepare his astro-board. "I'm pacing the shuttle now, but no one's picking up the phone. I may have to go EVA and shut those engines off myself." As Thunderbird 3 trails the shuttle, the side hatch in the cockpit opens and Alan flies out on his astro-board. He surfs out over to the airlock of the shuttle.
"Okay, something is definitely going on here," Marion says after doing another lap around the mountain, "We're missing our trapped climber."
"It feels like we're being tricked Scott. We should return to Tracy Island," Kayo orders packing her equipment up.
"I'm not ready to call it quits yet. Let's just focus on doing our jobs," Scott says.
"That's exactly what I'm going to do," Kayo says suspicious but with a terrible feeling in her stomach, "I'm leaving." She jumps into the open driver's seat of the Shadow Bike and closes the hatch above her. Her eyes narrow in suspicion. Kayo revs the engine once again and the Shadow Bike spins on its front wheel, causing the bike to do a full one-eighty. The tires screech in protest before the bike flies off back in the direction it came.
"Kayo, it someone really is stuck out there—" Scott starts.
"I left plenty of water with the bike," Kayo dismisses, "Thunderbird Shadow out." Picking up her speed again, she activates flight mode on her controller. The main body fires it engines as it detaches from the rocky cliff and zooms off after the Shadow Bike which is now speeding off across the flat desert surface. As the main section of Thunderbird Shadow is brought overhead, a platform is lowered and Kayo breaks harshly. It rolls the Shadow Bike back onto the platform before it is lifted and merges with the main body, allowing Kayo to take off back to Tracy Island. On the centre of a console there is a security perimeter button that Kayo often uses when she does her security checks around the Tracy Industry islands. She presses it, pulling up the security holograms of the Tracy Island. A red triangle flashes indicating a breach. "Hmm. That's not good." Kayo decides to call Brains. "Brains, can you hear me?"
"Yes, Kayo. I'm here," Brains says over the noise of a propeller.
"I need you to pull up the Tracy Island security log," Kayo explains, "It looks like someone had tampered with the sensors along the Western perimeter."
"Hmm. I believe you are c-correct," Brains notes as he is forwarded the same diagram Kayo had sent.
"Brains, listen to me. Inform Grandma Tracy to go to the emergency bunkers immediately. Take Thunderbird 6 back to Tracy Island. We've been compromised."
"F-A-B," Brains acknowledges and ends the call, turning Thunderbird 6 back around in the opposite direction.
Kayo then puts all her covert ops training into practice and calls International Rescue's London Agent.
"Kayo, is everything alright?" Penelope answers, noticing the worried expression displayed on her friend's face.
"I'm afraid not Lady Penelope. How familiar are you with WASP?" Kayo responds.
"I'm assuming you're referring to Wide Area Safety Protocol rather than the World Aquanaut Security Patrol," Penelope muses, "It was the first thing Jeff Tracy taught me when I joined International Rescue."
"Good. We're activating it right now," Kayo orders.
"Understood. How else can I help?" Penelope offers.
"Just keep you comm active and wait for my signal," Kayo finishes before ending that call as well. Ahead, Tracy Island comes into sight and she makes her final approach.
December 1st, 2061 - 22:43 NZDT
Thunderbird Shadow docks with its yellow docking circle. The docking circle rotates around one-eighty before the rocky platform it is one does the same. It travels down a set of rails before re-entering with what is now an empty Thunderbirds hanger.
"Scott, it's Kayo. I'm back on the Island. We have a situation," Kayo says as the Shadow Bike lowers from the main body.
"You're not the only one," Scott responds as he and Marion arrive at the location of the climber, "We're looking at some kind of explosive device."
"Me too," Alan gulps.
"Same here," Gordon joins.
"It's all of us," John says shocked.
"You were right about us being tricked Kayo," Virgil states.
"That's not out only problem," Kayo says as she arrives back in the lounge, "Tracy Island has a visitor."
"Nice view. I think I'll take it," The Hood says, leaning back in the seat positioned at Jeff Tracy's desk.
"What do you want?" Kayo growls, raising her fists up in defence. She inches closes to The Hood, who remains unfazed from his position at the desk.
"Tracy Island, of course. And the Thunderbirds along with it," The Hood says and gets up, "Unless control of the Island is immediately handed over to me, International Rescue will find itself in a very unfortunate situation."
"You lured every one of us into a trap," Kayo growls.
"And yet only you were able to see through it," The Hood chuckles as he walks right up to Kayo who comes to a stop. She can feel her heart racing in her chest looking for an escape. "The devices at which your 'brothers' are looking at have been armed with sudden motion triggers. I would strongly advise against sudden movements. Such as returning to your vehicles."
"Thunderbird 1, are you getting this?" Kayo asks.
"Every word," Marion says.
"He could be bluffing," Virgil queries.
"Negative, Thunderbird 2. This is the real deal," John sighs.
"Don't do it Kayo," Scott warns.
"I'm sorry Scott. I won't let him hurt any of you. You're just gonna have to trust me on this one," Kayo says and turns around to see Mullion and Transom appear up the stairs, "If you can promise me no Tracy will be harmed, I'll give you the Island."
"When it comes to family," The Hood empathises, "I'm a man of my word. The moment you hand over the Island, I will release them."
"Kayo, you can't," Scott cries, his hologram appearing on her wrister communicator. Her mouth goes dry and thinks about all the International Rescue family.
"I'm sorry, Scott. Comms off," Kayo states upset. As her finger hovers over the button to cut the link completely, her last thought is of Alan. Knowing that this is to ensure his safety, Kayo cuts the comms. She walks away from The Hood, Transom and Mullion and heads over to her chair.
"Search the Island. I don't want any hidden surprises when I take possession," The Hood tells his two main goons.
"The transfer has to be done in the control core," Kayo says and takes her seat. The Hood goes and sits in Alan's seat which sends a horrible icky feeling through Kayo, setting her nerve endings on fire. "We're taking a ride." They head down into the Thunderbird 3 and Shadow launch shaft but rather than heading in that direction the chairs come to a stop for a brief moment as Kayo presses on a control panel. It does a retinal scan of her eye before it begins to head down at a 135 degree angle. The pair remain in silence for most of the ride until The Hood decides to break it.
"It's funny how our lives took such different paths," The Hood rants, "You on some fool's mission to save the world and me—"
"Bent on destroying it," Kayo throws.
"Hardly. I want to build, create. Sometimes that means starting with a clean slate," The Hood counters. After a few more minutes they arrive at the bottom of the slope and level off before coming to a stop. The Hood gets up first and walks straight ahead until he spots a large door over to the right. He approaches it and opens it with Kayo not far behind him. They enter a large circular control room. "Rather unimpressive considering the rest of the place."
"Sorry to disappoint you," Kayo says folding her arms, "It's not typically used for entertaining." She makes her way over to the mainframe and places her hand on a green control panel. The mainframe scans her
"Biometric scan complete. Verbal authorisation required," the computer says.
"Control override and transfer. Tanusha Kyrano. Sierra Alpha 9-9," Kayo says into the scanner as the computer beeps.
"Voice print confirmed. New voice print required," the computer says.
"You'll need to say your name," Kayo mutters to her uncle.
"Agent 79 should suffice," The Hood grins, waking over and speaking into the scanner.
"Voice print accepted. Transfer complete," the computer says.
"Tracy Island is yours. Satisfied?" Kayo snarls in disgust as steps away from the controls.
The Hood admires the control room, the desk and its instruments, completely ignoring his earlier comment that the room is rather unimpressive. A sinister grin appears on his face. "Attention International Rescue. As you can see, I am a man of my word," he announces and starts to turn off the explosion devices. The he opens up the controls to the 7 Thunderbirds and revokes any access the brothers have to them. He then sets them on autopilot back to the island. This leaves Scott, Marion and Virgil stuck in the middle of nowhere, Alan trapped in the vacuum of space, Gordon in a deep underwater trench, John is a pod that is running out of oxygen and Brains at the bay doors of his hanger. The Hood lets out an evil maniacal laugh. "There. Now I have everything I want."
"Not exactly," Kayo smirks and turns her comms back on again, "London, do you copy?"
"F-A-B," Penelope says.
"Execute WASP Protocol Alpha," Kayo states and seconds later everything shuts down on the island. The Hood looks around in confusion and anger.
"WASP protocol activated," Penelope says.
December 1st, 2061 - 22:56 NZDT
Across the world and space, the Thunderbird's turn around and head back towards their respective pilots. Thunderbird 1 lands in a forest, Thunderbird 2 lands outside the cave Virgil was in, Thunderbird 3 pulls up alongside the space shuttle, Thunderbird 4 stops allowing Gordon to swim over to it, John is able to dock with Thunderbird 5 again and Brains can open Thunderbird 6's hanger.
"Whatever Kayo is doing, I hope she keeps it up," Scott states. The pilot's seat drops from the cockpit allowing Marion to clamber in and Scott leap into his place at the controls of his Thunderbird.
"We have control again," Marion informs.
"I can confirm that," Virgil responds as he makes a dash over to Thunderbird 2, worried that it could take off without him once again. The passenger elevator starts to lower.
Alan enters the cockpit of Thunderbird 3 and jumps off his astro-board, flinging himself over to the pilot's seat and strapping himself in.
"Everyone, return to Tracy Island," Scott orders as Gordon gets back into his seat at the controls of Thunderbird 4, "John call the GDF. We may need backup."
"But that would reveal the location of the island," John cries as he makes his way back through the launch tube of Thunderbird 5.
"We don't have a choice," Scott responds, regrettably.
"Kayo may need all the help she can get," Marion adds, "Thunderbirds Are Go!"
December 1st, 2061 - 23:01 NZDT
"Arrg!" The Hood yells, banging on the control panel as alarms and the red warning go off.
"Were you also this way when my father wouldn't share his toys with you?" Kayo jokes.
"I am not amused Kayo! What have you done?" The Hood cries.
"The central computer has been reset. You no longer have control of the island or the Thunderbirds," Kayo smirks.
"Well, if I can't have Tracy Island, no one can!" The Hood yells and takes another explosive device out his pocket, "This ought to enough to level the place." Kayo lunges at him, but knowing her moves well, The Hood avoids the first attack. He doesn't however anticipate the second when Kayo kicks up her legs and flicks the device from his hand and onto the gangway behind them.
"Alright, uncle, I get it," Kayo snarls, dodging a flurry of punches, "You're all about the theatrics. But seriously, a monocle? In a fight? You're not a Bond villain, you're a Bond villain's sad, misguided cousin."
The Hood snarls. "Your mockery does little to deter me, Tanusha. I will prevail, and Tracy Island will fall!"
"Oh, you're going to 'prevail'? How thrilling," Kayo quips, "Do you have a special plan? You know, maybe something involving a giant, laser-guided shark with a taste for metal?"
The Hood's eyes narrow, but he maintains a calm exterior. "I will have it my way, Tanusha, whether it's with the Tracy's dead or alive."
"Your way?" Kayo scoffs, "You're the one reeling, uncle! You're fighting a woman who can break a man's nose with a well-timed sneeze."
The Hood, clearly growing irritated, summons a swarm of drones, their metallic bodies buzzing menacingly. "This will be your last laugh, Tanusha!" he roars, directing the drones with a flick of his wrist.
The drones swoop towards Kayo, their laser beams spitting fire. Kayo, however, is ready. She leaps over a desk, dodging the laser fire, and kicks one of the drones off its course, sending it crashing into the wall. "You know," she quips, "these drones are really well-designed. I wonder if they come in pink?" The Hood, ignores her snarky remarks, and continues to direct the drones, slowly but surely pushing Kayo into a corner. "You're good, uncle," Kayo admits, "But you're forgetting something. I'm a bit of a master of improvisation." Just then, Kayo's eyes catch a glimpse of a loose cable, dangling from the control panel. A mischievous grin spreads across her face. "Time for a little pyrotechnics!"
With a quick movement, she grabs the cable and connects it to a nearby power source, creating a makeshift electric shock trap. The Hood, distracted by the drone attack, doesn't notice the change in his surroundings. He is just about to deliver a final blow when the trap springs to life. A jolt of electricity courses through the control room, sending the drones spiraling out of control. The Hood, is caught in the blast, and stumbles back, his suit shredding with the force of the charge. Kayo laughs, her voice echoing in the room. "Turns out, even villains love a good shock treatment." She moves forward, adrenaline coursing through her veins. "Time to finish this, uncle!" However before she can land a strike, The Hood reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small, cylindrical device.
"I may have underestimated your ingenuity, Tanusha," The Hood admits, his voice cold and calculating, "But I assure you, this will be your final act." He presses a button on the device, and a red light flickers on. In the next instant, a loud, mechanical whirring fills the room. He throws the bomb towards the main support structure in the control room. It sticks to the metal with a sickening thud.
"Oh, come on! Not another bomb?" Kayo groans, "Are you out your fucking mind?"
"It makes perfect sense to me. Your brothers get their Thunderbirds back, but as soon as they arrive home... kaboom!" The Hood cackles and watches Kayo run over to take it off but is blocked off by The Hood, "I wouldn't advise touching that unless you want the light show to begin early?"
"International Rescue this is Tracy Island," Kayo calls taking a step back, "The Hood has set a trap. As soon as you return, he's going to blow up the power generator. It will destroy the entire Island. You can't come back."
"We're not just gonna leave you there!" Alan exclaims.
"Alan, you have to trust me," Kayo calmly says, yet her heart hammering out of her chest.
"Trust? Would he trust you knowing the kinds of secrets you've been keeping?" The Hood says walking over with a smirk, getting close enough to be picked up on the holo-screens.
"Kayo, what's he talking about?" Alan demands.
"She's been working for me. The whole time," The Hood states.
"That's a lie," Kayo trembles knowing what's coming next.
December 1st, 2061 - 23:26:03 NZDT
"Is it? And would I be lying when I tell them I'm your uncle?" The Hood declares. Silence. No one says a word for several seconds over coms. December 1st, 2061 goes in history for the longest time since the creation of International Rescue that the comms are silent.
December 1st, 2061 - 23:26:38 NZDT
"K-Kayo, i-i-is this true?" Alan stutters but knows the answer before any words are said purely due to Kayo's facial expression.
"Yes. It's true. The Hood is my uncle."
December 1st, 2061 - 23:26:52 NZDT
A second silence falls over the comms and the brothers and Marion collect their thoughts
"The Hood is you uncle?" Gordon angerly states, "The same son of a bitch responsible for us losing Dad?"
"This is what I was trying to tell you, but I promise I'm not working for him," Kayo cries in desperation, "I would never—"
"It is rather suspicious, don't you admit?" The Hood interrupts, "You here safe and sound while the others walk right into a trap."
"That's not—" Kayo starts.
"And every time we've been in contact, not only have I escaped. I got everything I wanted," The Hood continues, "You've been my secret weapon this whole time and you didn't even know it."
"Guys, you have to let me handle this," Kayo murmurs, "Don't come back. Comms off."
December 1st, 2061 - 23:28 NZDT
"It doesn't make any sense!" Alan stutters.
"Actually, it does," Virgil says.
"You're not suggesting she's actively helping The Hood?" Gordon growls.
"No, but she does keep a lot of secrets to most of us," Virgil says, always the calm one.
"It's Kayo. We can trust her. Right?" John asks.
"Even if we do, can she handle this on her own?" Marion asks.
"She sees to handle everything just fine," Alan mutters, some anger starting to set in.
"I don't know," Virgil says.
"It's gonna be hard," John comments.
"There's only one question we need to be asking ourselves now," Scott announces, "What would dad do?"
December 1st, 2061 - 23:32 NZDT
The Hood busies himself at the control panel setting up the remote trigger to set of the bomb once the Thunderbirds return to the island.
"Since you're family, I'll allow you the favour of escape," The Hood says.
"I hope you can handle the climb," Kayo mumbles as she starts to climb up a ladder round the back of the control centre that leads to the exit tunnel. Behind her The Hood follows and when they exit, it's onto a small runway with a hangar at one end.
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!... Huh?" The Hood questions, his laugher stopping.
"Your plan to blow up Tracy Island has one small problem. We're not on Tracy Island," Kayo says with a smile forming, "Welcome to Mateo Island. Right next door and Thunderbird 6's base of operations."
"No, no, no, no, no, no!" The Hood cries.
"Sure, we'll be sad to see our back-up generator go," Kayo comments, "But it won't be the end of International Rescue or Tracy Island, not by a long shot. Thunderbird 6 can just use the main runway."
"Aaagh! For this, you get to swim home after all," The Hood exclaims, "Assuming you can escape the blast." He presses a button on his remote and the pair watch his ship rise from the back of Tracy Island. They both hear a door close causing them to both turn around.
"Brains?" Kayo questions.
"Everything is under control here, Kayo," Brains says with a smile, "Grandma Tracy is checking the monitors and dealing with our guests." They turn back as The Hood's ship comes back into view and lowers but before it could land, the space elevator crashes into the top of it, taking a chunk away. This is soon followed by Thunderbird 1 arriving from behind. Scott examines a holographic image of the ship in front of him. He scans the ship looking for a lock and gets one allowing him to fire a grapple onto it. The Hood jabs fruitlessly at his remote and growls in frustration. From the opposite direction, Thunderbird 2 arrives and positions itself at the front. The hatch doors underneath Module 3 are lowered and large grappling hooks on cables are lowered, grabbing onto one of the wings of the ship. Both Thunderbirds then pull into reverse.
"No, no! Stop! What are you doing?" The Hood yells but to no avail as both Thunderbirds continue to pull until chucks of the ship breakoff crashing into the engine causing them to fail. The ship falls and crashes into the rocks off Mateo Island breaking apart completely and falling into the sea. "Aaaghh!"
"Guys, I thought I told you it wasn't safe to come back here," Kayo cries as Thunderbirds 1 and 2 circle around in front of where Kayo, Brains and The Hood are standing.
"You also said to trust you to handle this," Marion says, "And you did."
"You may want to consider disarming that present you left us," Kayo says turning to face her uncle, "Unless you want to be the one... swimming home." The Hood groans in anger and disarms the explosive.
December 2nd, 2061 - 00:17 NZDT
"The Hood. Captured at last," Casey says from the runway of Thunderbird 2 watching The Hood, Mullion and Transom being taken away, "Well done, Kayo."
"It was only a matter of time before he tried to capture Tracy Island again," Kayo muses, "Luring him to Mateo Island and activating WASP was always part of my contingency plan."
"You may think this insincere Kayo, but you've made your dear old uncle very proud," The Hood says sarcastically, "Be sure to write." He his lead onto the GDF Flyer by four soldiers and everyone watches it take off.
"I think we have a conversation to finish," Scott says approaching Kayo from behind.
December 2nd, 2061 - 00:39 NZDT
Kayo stands in front of everyone in the lounge. She looks at everyone and is disappointed to see that Alan isn't making any eye-contact with her and has a scowl on his face. This time John has remained on Thunderbird 5 and is listening in via hologram. Penelope has also decided to join the call this time.
"You have to know I would never knowingly help... my uncle," Kayo admits speaking to everyone, but more directly at Alan, "Every time he got away, it only made me hate him more."
"We wouldn't dream of thinking otherwise Kayo," Penelope says.
"Keeping it a secret was your father's idea," Kayo explains, "He didn't want my family history to be... a distraction."
"Well, if dad wanted this a secret, that's good enough for me," Virgil says.
"It's still hard to believe he's gone," Gordon says with a sigh.
"Your father may not be in this room, but he'll always be with us Gordon," Sally comforts, "International Rescue was his gift to the world. Everyone in this room is keeping that gift alive. He would be so proud of each and every one of you." Everyone, except Alan, looks around the room and smile. "Now, who wants a midnight meal?" Sally jokes as everyone groans, "I'm kidding."
"Kidding or not, dinner will have to wait," John says as EOS' emergency alarm goes off, "We've got a situation. I'm gonna need everyone."
"Then it looks like..." Scott says.

Colonel Casey walks towards The Hood's temporary holding cell. The Hood looks up with a sigh and glares towards her approaching figure.
"Come to gloat, have you?" The Hood asks.
"You're being transferred to Parkmoor Scrubs Prison," Casey announces sternly, "No one is gonna to see you for a long, long time."
"And that makes the world safe?" The Hood scoffs, "I happen to know what's coming next Colonel. If you and International Rescue thought I was bad... ha, ha, ha... just you wait."
