Surprise! I'm back with a brand-new story and a brand-new chapter. Since it's a New Year, I decided to publish the first chapter of The Bas Guys season 2. Please enjoy the story for the first day of the year!

It was another normal day at the Bad Guys' hideout. Everyone was doing their everyday routine and minding their own business. It wasn't their schedule to have another heist or have another night shift to be vigilant with other criminals. It was time to sit back and relax.

For Wolf, he went through photo albums of him and his team that had gone through over the years. They were all about the fun and happy memories. Some memories were about the successful heists they made, and some were from other places they'd been in. Those were the best memories Wolf had ever saved. There was no treasure in the world that he would trade for his best friends.

Snake slithered in and looked over Wolf's shoulder to see what the team leader was looking at. "Hey, Wolf, what are you doing?"

"I was looking back on our photo album about the places we've been to," Wolf said.

The rest of the Bad Guys joined in to see the album for themselves.

Tarantula chuckled while looking at the photos while Wolf flipped the page every minute, "Heh. Those were the good times, right? Who knew we would spread the word all over the world about who we were?"

"And everybody knew us now," Wolf stated as he flipped another page.

Shark laughed when he pointed to another photo, "I remember this. It was a fun heist."

Hornet scanned through the album and noticed that he wasn't in some of the photos, not to mention he didn't recall those memories in the album. "I don't remember some of them."

"You weren't part of the team yet, bug," Wolf ruffled Hornet's head gently with his finger.

"Oh, yeah," nodded Hornet.

"Hey, at least you were in some of them," Piranha pointed out some of the photos on the page that Wolf flipped a couple of times.

Near the end of the album, Hornet was already in pictures. He came into the team a little late, "Don't I know it."

"It would be fun if we go back in time and do these things all over again," the team leader sighed, missing those moments.

"Hey, Wolf, we had a clean slate now. I don't think we'll ever go back," Snake advised.

Wolf knew Snake was right. He went a little far with plans before, and he couldn't risk getting himself and his team in trouble again. Not this time. But then Wolf had a different idea this time, "What if we can?" He stood up, which startled his friends. "I mean, not in that way. What if we can take another trip around the world, just for a good ol' fun trip?"

But the other Bad Guys felt more confused and worried than ecstatic.

Snake knew Wolf was planning something drastic as he told him with cautious advice, "Are you sure, Wolf? I mean, we still have our bad reputation out there. We may be vigilantes, but only here in LA."

Wolf then said while peeking through the gap of the blinds, "Snake, I get the feeling that the gang needs a little rest from all of this. Our crime life, our crime-fighting life," he closed the blinds and turned around face-to-face with his team, "Plus, it'll be one way to tell the world we're… 'half' good now."

"What if no one would believe us? Just like what happened at the gala?" Tarantula reminded about the Gala of Goodness disaster a year ago.

"Then we'll show them."

"I don't know, Wolf. Remember last time? We're definitely on their wanted list," Hornet said while looking through his helmet, showing each of his and his team's holographic status in every country. Some countries titled them as "unknown.".

"Then, if it didn't work, then let's just lay low and consider this as our vacation trip," Wolf suggested with a convincing smile.

While the other Bad Guys were unsure of this trip idea because they had caused a lot of trouble all over the world when they were still full Bad Guys, they realized they hadn't left Los Angeles for a long time. They had been laying low to avoid getting caught, being in prison for a year, and changed careers when they were trying to change their ways and went good… well, not fully good yet since they were still adjusting. It would be fun to travel and get away with problems occasionally and clear their head after what they had been through after getting released from prison.

"I do want to travel around the world with you guys," Hornet confessed. "Besides, I missed a lot before I came here."

Tarantula snorted as she would feel envious if she missed out, "Oh, what the heck? I don't want you guys to take all the fun."

Shark wrapped his fin around Snake, Piranha, Tarantula, and Hornet, and squealed, "Woo! This is gonna be so much fun! Another Around-The-World trip! Just the six of us!"

"I'm so in, Hermanos," Piranha raised a thumb up.

Feeling defeated that no one was against Wolf's trip plans, Snake sighed as he rolled his eyes, "Fine. But I'm warning you, Wolf. It won't be easy to travel around the world. It was easy before, but now that we're clean, we won't be able to do the same thing of how we traveled last time."

"So what? We're gonna buy tickets?" Wolf guessed since they didn't have to force someone to send them somewhere around the world anymore.

"That's good enough for me," Hornet said, agreeing with the idea.

"I'm checking them right away," Tarantula was already typing on her laptop to book planes and reserve tickets.

"Oooh, where should we go? The Bahamas? Africa?" Shark inquired.

"What about Spain? Or France? They had good cuisine." Piranha suggested.

"I want to try to go to Japan. For what I've read, that is where my species came from," Hornet said.

Feeling pressured, Tarantula knew it would take much money to go to places that her friends requested. "That's a lot of places I have to book, and it costs a lot of money. We just have to secretly rob another bank again just to get that amount of money."

"Not to mention, stealing a gold bar," Piranha stated.

While about it, Wolf was looking through his phone as he scrolled through a bunch of stuff on social media until he found something interesting.

"What if we don't need to steal gold?" He declared.

The other Bad Guys paused for a moment, feeling puzzled by Wolf's phrase.

"Wha-?" Hornet wanted to ask.

"What if we do another heist to steal something bigger and more affordable than money?" Wolf smirked sinisterly.

At LAX, a pilot was guiding a line of visitors around the airport, and their tour ended up in hangars where the planes were resting and ready to serve again in a couple of days. Some planes in the hangar were still in service and held good records for their services.

"This is the Gulfstream IV." The pilot showed one of the planes in the hangar, "This aircraft is one of the most popular aircraft from Gulfstream Aerospace, a trusted name in the private aviation industry. It has a completely customizable interior and can seat up to 14 passengers."

The visitors were amazed by the plane as they took pictures of it.

The pilot then guided the visitors to the next plane, "And this is the Learjet 60XR. This aircraft was a poor buy in 2008, losing 74% of its value."

Despite its poor reputation, the visitors still took pictures of the plane.

Then, they moved to the third plane as the pilot narrated, "And this is the Cessna Citation XLS. This aircraft has a maximum cruise speed of 507 mph and a transcontinental long range of 2,100 nautical miles. It can also take off from shorter runways."

The visitors took a picture of the plane while following the pilot to the end of the hangar.

Once they were outside, the pilot stood in front of the gates of the next hangar, where the gates were closed, yet to reveal the next aircraft.

"These planes were good in service while some couldn't be bought, but there is one jet plane that is the latest, and passengers who already tried this plane gave out 5 gold stars because of its luxurious experience and could fly all over the world."

The visitors were so excited to see this plane and hoped that they would see the insides of the aircraft.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Airjack Hydraulic FX8." When the gates opened, the visitors made wide smiles as they wanted to see the jet plane with their own eyes, but once the gates were fully opened, they only saw an empty hangar.

The jet plane is gone.

"Hey, what happened to the private jet?!" The pilot screamed as one person took a picture of the empty hangar with a flash of his camera.

Meanwhile, Diane was doing a lot of paperwork in her office when she received a call by the radio from her secretary.

"Governor Foxington, a journalist is here to report on an important news."

Diane pushed the button to speak through the radio, "Send 'em in." At this cue, the doors opened, and Mira entered the office while holding a folded newspaper. "Oh, Ms. Rose, it's you."

"Just call me Mira, Diane. I have something to show you," Mira threw the newspaper on Diane's table, showing the news about a missing jet plane.

Diane read the headline and inquired, "A private jet was stolen?"

"And I want to let you know because this isn't just someone who stole it," Mira took out a photo from her pocket. "I didn't put this in my report, and I kept this from sight," she placed the photo on top of the newspaper and showed Diane. That it was an image of a circular seal with the initials "BG".

Knowing what those initials meant, Diane placed a paw on her face and sighed as if she was exhausted upon seeing this. "Not again."

The missing private jet plane zoomed across the sky, off the grounds of Los Angeles, and flew through the clouds.

Hornet stared down through the window as he began to hyperventilate, "I can't believe it! We stole a private jet! The Airjack Hydraulic FX8 Jet! Can this just get any more unusual?"

"Relax, Hornet, this is an exquisite jet. They even have champagne here!" Snake said as he popped the champagne bottle open and poured some in his glass.

"I do love this cocktail shrimp." Piranha added as he took one and snapped his mouth close with the shrimp inside.

"Come on, guys, we didn't exactly steal it. We're just borrowing it for the trip, and we'll return it once we're done." Wolf declared as he piloted the jet at the cockpit.

"You mean 'secret borrowing,'" Tarantula stated.

"Yeah, Webs gets it," Wolf smiled before he heard his phone ringing. He took out his phone from his pocket and saw Diane's contacts onscreen. "Oh look, guys! Our favorite governor," he tapped the answer button and said, "Hello?"

Diane's voice was so loud through Wolf's phone that even the other Bad Guys could hear her from the cockpit, "Wolf, what the heck! I gave you more than one chance to change your ways! I even let you have a double life as both criminals and vigilantes, and yet you stole a jet! A private jet!"

Wolf chuckled, "Relax, Diane, we're just 'secretly borrowing the jet."

"We're travelling around the world!" Shark yelled from the back while raising a glass of soda.

Diane overheard Shark's voice, and she felt confused. "Why would you want to travel? This is… new."

"We already traveled before, Diane. We want to do it again," "Wolf explained, but when Diane opened her mouth to scold him more, he cut her off by continuing, "And before you say anything, we won't do anything drastic this time. We'll be doing… something else."

Diane scoffed angrily, "I don't like what you're doing, Wolf. I'm sorry, but you leave me no choice. You better get back here and return the jet back to where you stole it, or I'll snitch on you guys and send you back to jail."

"Oh no, you could do that."

"I'm serious, Wolf. You better get back here, or I'll call the chief. It's your choice now."

"Very well. I'll send you a message of the scavenger hunt that will provide you with my answer."

After the call, Wolf sent Diane a message, and she read it.

ONE WEEK LATER

Diane took a quarter that was taped under the cemented bench as Mira followed her along with the hunt.

"Here it is! A rustic quarter from 1933. We're getting closer to our answer!"

But Mira slapped her aggressively across the face, making her drop the quarter. "Wake up, Diane! They chose to steal the jet and fly around the world!"

Somewhere, the Bad Guys were relaxing on the beach.

"You really fooled that governor, huh?" Snake spoke while still sunbathing next to Wolf.

"She'll thank us once we finish our trip." Wolf responded.

"Maybe we should go to places that we haven't gone to yet," Tarantula offered.

"Or a place we were never heard of," Hornet uttered.

"We'll just plan as we go," said Wolf while still trying to relax under the sun.

I finally finished the first chapter of season 2. I finally published chapter 2 after a long time of planning. The Bad Guys 2 is coming, and I decided to continue my story. Season 2 took place before the sequel, so season 2 happened between the first and second films. There were plenty more surprises about what happened to the Bad Guys before the sequel, so get ready for plot twists!

The scene where Wolf gave Diane a scavenger hunt and Mira slapped her away was a reference to Family Guy: Into Harmony's Way.

This story is dedicated to my two best friends, MasterClass60 and TU4QU0I53T4IAN6L3 who were there for me through tough times and helped me plan season 2. I hope they'll see this story and like it! There will be more chapters to come, and I promise that there won't be any long waits. Stay tuned for this year!

Happy New Year, everybody!
