Chapter XIV: Silicon Valley Spies.
Last Time.
"Can't believe that the kidnapping and enslavement wasn't what brought the show down."
Naruto says as they walk the halls. "Well, what was it?" Alex asks as Naruto glances at Sam.
"The near assault of a contestant by one of the Gladiators… And the indecent exposure." Naruto says with a slight blush as Clover gives a blushing/sheepish Sam the stink eye while also making a mental note to see if any footage from the episode still exists out there on the internet.
"You ready to rumble, wimp?"
They looked to see Donna in front of them as other students started chanting before Alex glared. "Listen here, you big Neanderthal! I've been chased by wild wolves, had boulders thrown at me, and fought gladiators all night. So if you want a piece of me, let's get it on!"
She got into a stance as Donna smiled. "Hmm. For a bony runt, you're pretty tough."
"I am?" Alex blinks at that. "I mean... You bet I am!"
"I didn't know you had it in you. Guess you're cooler than I thought." Donna wrapped an arm around Alex's neck and turned around. "We're gonna have to get you a ride." She then grabbed Naruto by the back of the collar and pulled him with her. "Come on, Naruto, we gotta catch up and compare rides."
As they turned a corner, Clover blinked before giving chase, misinterpreting what Donna said.
Now.
Las Vegas –06:29 PM.
"Out of the way!"
A teen boy with tan skin, short brown hair, and brown eyes wearing a blue blazer pushed past a middle-aged man for a roller coaster ride.
"Grandpa here lost his nerve." He got in the sole car as the safety straps came down before riding up to the hill. "Come on, I'm psyched to see how fast this thing is!"
Suddenly, a male computerized voice came up on the speakers. "Let's see how you like getting pushed around, Bret!" Suddenly, Brett shot through the ride extremely fast and didn't stop. "Bret has been a bad boy. Bret needs a lesson."
Beverly Hills High School –10:35 AM.
Naruto, wearing a grey long-sleeved UV shirt and black pants, sat in a room that was being used as a courtroom to hear cases involving those who broke school rules.
Alex, wearing a green jumpsuit that's sleeveless and has a hole over her chest, and Sam, wearing a pink dress with a red ribbon, stood at a table in front of Clover, who was wearing a green top that barred her midriff and a blue skirt over pants with a powdered wig.
"Sam, Alex, this Court has no choice but to find you guilty of violating the school dress code."
"But Clov... your Honor…" Sam said, holding the high-heeled boots on the table. "Our heels are only a half-inch higher than the code allows."
"Can't you give us a break?"
Clover looked down and saw she was wearing the same boots as before, looking up with a sheepish look.
Well, considering the circumstances, I guess I can let you off with a suspended sentence."
"Objection, Your Dis-Honor!"
Naruto, who was about to fall asleep, jolted as Many walked up. This is total favoritism!"
"I agree." A blonde-haired female teacher said with glasses. "You're much too lenient to be a student court judge, Clover. I'm replacing you with Mandy."
"Thank you, Ms Brooks. I promise I'll restore dignity to this course-" Mandy was interrupted as the wig was thrown in her face, as Clover walked to stand by her friends. "And I'll restore integrity, too." She walked to the judge's seat and looked down at the three. "This court finds all three of you in contempt and sentences you to three weeks of picking up trash! Next case!"
Later, the girls wearing green coveralls and rubber gloves were picking up trash.
"'Integrity?' Ha! What a brown-noser!" Sam scoffed as Clover used the picker staff to pick up a wrapper.
"Yeah! Who does she think she is, the Supreme Court?"
"Ew! This is, like, supremely nasty! There must be a way to pick this stuff up faster." Alex groaned as Naruto walked up to them, as a tan-painted garbage truck drove up.
"There is, check it out!" Clover said before a hose came out and all four were sucked in and fell inside where Jerry had an office inside. "Can't you get a normal office?" She asked as they all coughed.
"Sorry, spies, but we need you urgently. 14 hours ago, a computer trapped a student named Bret Brinkley on a Las Vegas roller coaster." He hit a button and showed footage of Bret on a roller coaster, not stopping. "We've had two similar attacks. In Italy, a tourist was attacked by an airport baggage machine."
He showed a man being pushed onto a baggage machine by a robotic hand. "And a computerized elevator at Silicon Valley High left the principal quite shaken up." He finished showing a female in an elevator that kept going up and down.
"Yikes. More proof that climbing stairs is healthier." Sam joked as Jerry brought gadgets down to them.
"Your first stop is Las Vegas. Today's gadgets menu for the girls includes a decoy purse, a life raft, a parachute-" He stopped as Alex held up the perfume bottle. "Careful, Alex, don't spray on that perfume. It's liquid nitrogen. It freezes steel, makes it as brittle as glass."
"Extremely cool!"
"Careful, the hairdryer is an infrared heat ray." He said to Sam, who held a hairdryer. "The stereo is a sonic disintegrator and the camera fires a laser beam."
Alex gasped as Clover was about to take her picture with the professional-looking camera. "Guess I won't need film, will I?" Clover asks.
"And Naruto, you'll have the suspended matrix, levitate any foe, ricochet webs that'll bounce off several foes or objects, webbing them up, and a holo drone to project multiple versions to confuse them."
They were all then sucked up again.
Las Vegas –05:30 PM
The spies in their catsuits looked at Bret, who was riding past them. "OK, ready to get him?" Naruto asked as the others nodded.
Clover got the camera and aimed it at the tracks as Naruto got ready. She melted the tracks right before the car came, and Naruto jumped on, pulled the harness off, then grabbed Bret and jumped down using his webs to swing down safely. "Remind me to stick to the merry-go-round next time we go to an amusement park," Sam said as Brett sobbed.
"Thank you!"
Later, the group went down an elevator before Alex looked over at Bret, who explained what had happened. "I don't get it. How could a computer voice know your name?"
"Search me. I'm on the football team, babe." Naruto's fingers twitched at that. "I don't study computers, or anything else."
"Football?" Clover raised an eyebrow as he crossed her arms.
"Yeah. I bet you ace all your tests." Sam said sarcastically.
"I don't have to, babe." Naruto's eyebrow twitched as Brett punched the palm of his hand. "I just grab the nearest nerd and, uh, 'persuade' him to help me."
They got to the bottom, and Naruto saw there was a robotics convention going on as they walked to the door. One chef robot's eyes turned red as it saw them. "Speaking as a nerd, I'm starting to see why computers attack you," Sam asked Brett, who raised an eyebrow.
"What do you mean, computers? You talk like there's more than one."
"Like 99% of everything has some type of computer chip in it, from cars to hospital equipment, and we're in a robot convention now."
Suddenly, several robots attacked, forcing the spies to run to cover. "Naughty, naughty, Bret. Your punishment isn't over!"
In cover, Naruto tossed his drone out and had holograms of Brett come up as He pulled the camera and tossed it to Clover. She sliced several robots as Sam melted the chef, and Alex used the speaker to blow the last one up. "OK, who's next?"
"Chill, Alex. You got 'em all." Sam said to her.
"It's like those computers knew Bret, we gotta get him somewhere safe," Clover said as Sam pulled her compowder up.
"I'll have W.O.O.H.P. agents pick him up. We have to get to Italy before anything else happens to that gym coach."
Clover gasps as an egg slot machine robot comes up showing three bombs on its wheel, having Alex blow it up and have money shoot out.
Capri, Italy –11:45 AM.
"Victim number two, Coach Joe Hassler has been lying low here on the Isle of Capri ever since he got baggage-handled."
Sam said as they were on a trolley car.
She's wearing a dark purple top with a blue skirt.
Clover's wearing a blue vest over a white shirt and capris.
And Alex's wearing a yellow top with purple hearts and a purple skirt with yellow knee-high heeled boots.
And Naruto's wearing his long-sleeved UV shirt and black pants.
Later, they're talking to the coach as Alex and Clover are eating from the same plate of spaghetti and meatballs. "Look, I've never been to Vegas, I don't know this Bret kid, and I don't wanna go anywhere."
"You'd be safer at W.O.O.H.P.," Naruto said before seeing the two slurping the same noodle before getting too close and pulling back, having him shake his head as Joe looked at them.
"But cars, planes, ships, they all have computer chips now! If computers are out to get me, how do I travel?"
Later, the group is on a trolley getting close to a tunnel in the mountain. "This is what I call low-tech. This funicular railway is powered by a cable. No computer on board."
Suddenly, as Sam spoke, they shot forward. "Uh, Sam, does that go for the cable motors down in the station?" Alex asked as they sped up again.
"I'm guessing the answer is no!"
"You've been a bad Boy, Coach. Time for your punishment!"
The same voice from the attacks said, and the car sped up again, having Joe roll out the back before Naruto shot a web and pulled him back. "Can we stop this?!" He asks as Clover pulls on the brake that was locked up.
"No! It's stuck!"
Alex then glances at Naruto's shooters, causing Naruto to blink. "Could we use those-"
"No, my arms would be ripped from their sockets!"
"We can still trip the brake if we climb outside to reach the wheel." Clover reached out to grab the emergency brake before Naruto grabbed her and pulled her back as another car came past them.
"OK, time for plan B!" Sam said, throwing them their parachutes.
"Do we even have a Plan B?" Alex asks as they run out.
"We do now. It's called... jump!"
They jumped and pulled their chutes to land at a beach as the car slammed into the end of the track at a hill and exploded. "This may be a dumb question to ask a gym coach, but do you have any enemies?" Alex asked him.
"Only every kid I ever taught."
"Any who was good with computers?" Sam asked as Naruto walked away and took his shirt off to shake the sand out.
"Well, I had this one geek running laps all last year. I forgot his name. He transferred to Silicon Valley." The coach replied as Clover smiled and stood to walk towards Naruto.
"Silicon Valley High? Isn't that where victim number three is the principal?" She asked, glancing back before looking towards Naruto once again.
"That's it!"
"The coach picks on kids at one school, Bret at another. What if they both bullied the same Kid who's now at Silicon Valley?" Sam asks as Alex pulls the drooling Clover back and Naruto puts his shirt back on.
"Time to pay a visit to Silicon Valley High. We can drop the coach off at W.O.O.H.P. on the way."
San Francisco –02:22 PM.
A large torpedo shot through the ocean and came up on the beach by the Golden Gate Bridge, and had the spies shoot out in their catsuits.
"Every time I think Jerry can't come up with a more annoying way for us to travel, he outdoes himself." Clover sighed as they sat up on the sand. They then turned and saw a very advanced-looking school with a monsignor going by it. "Wow... Silicon Valley High makes our school look so… So 20th Century."
"How can we blend in so we don't look so suspicious?" Alex asks hands on her hips.
"By not blending in. Let's take a backstage tour of their auditorium." Sam replied, glancing over.
Later, they walked into an office where a teen boy with tan skin and short brown hair was at a computer, charging a blue PDA.
"Uh, sorry, Principal Veegun is out sick today." He said, looking to see the four spies in disguise.
Sam is wearing a pink and green hat with a peace sign necklace and a green dress.
"Oh, dear. Can you 'elp us, luv?" Sam asked in a British accent. "We're new exchange students! I'm Samantha, from England."
Alex is wearing a wool cap and a green sweater with a white coat, and a red skirt.
"Alexandra from Russia. Is enrolling in school, we want." Alex replied in a Russian accent.
And Clover was dressed like an Egyptian.
"I am Cloverpatra, from Egypt." She said in an Egyptian accent.
"I'm Naruto, transferring from Beverly Hills High."
Naruto, in his regular clothes, said as he had his hands in his pockets.
"Hi, I'm Adam Lewis. Those clothes look familiar. You've never, uh, done a school play here, have you?" He asks before Alex speaks.
"Nyet. (No) We are just arriving."
"A thousand pardons, effendi. We wish to meet other students who are new here. Could we see your, how you say, database of new arrivals?" Clover asks, walking around to look at the computer.
"Sure, let me input my password. Just don't tell the principal, OK?" Adam asks as he sits, missing a security camera, and moves to look at the screen.
C.H.A.D.
LOADING
"C.H.A.D.?" She asks as Adam looks up.
"C.H.A.D. stands for Computer Home Analyzer and Defender. My invention. He... it... can access any computer anywhere. I spend a lot of time on C.H.A.D. cos Dad's always moving us. I guess we both know how hard it is to make friends when you're new in school. All those bullies and snobs..."
"Yeah, sure." She said normally, before speaking in her Egyptian accent as she wrote on a pad. "Excuse me, I am busy."
Suddenly, the principal walked in. "Adam! I warned you about using my computer to download games or whatever it is you do!" She said as he stood and took the PDA out. "I'm revoking your access permanently."
"What?! But Principal Veegun, you can't do that!" He said, standing as she pointed to the door.
"No? Watch me. Now get out!" Adam sighed as he left, taking his computer with him. "And would you four explain?"
"Mrs Veegun, you shouldn't have come back. You're in huge danger!"
"Danger? From whom?" She asked before the door slammed shut.
"Are your door locks computerized?" Sam asks as the windows shut with metal covering them, and the sprinklers came on, filling the room with water.
"Sam! I left my laser camera backstage when I changed clothes!" Clover said as water started to reach her knees.
They all changed into their catsuits before Naruto pulled Sam's pack and then put it on the door handles before pulling the cord. And had a raft inflate, pushing the doors open. They all ran out as water hit the halls. "You OK?" Alex asked the principal.
"I'm going to the faculty lounge. I just need to faint for a while."
Later, the spies are talking to each other, going over the clues they've gotten so far. "Ten students transferred here. And one was Adam. But could any kid hack into so many systems, so fast?" Clover asks as Alex looks over.
"It's not humanly possible."
"Wait a second, that voice we keep hearing doesn't sound human. Maybe our hacker isn't human!" Sam said before calling Jerry. "Jerry, we have ten suspects, but if you run a check on-"
"Later, Sam. Someone in Silicon Valley just used the Internet to hack into a missile base in Guam. I'll send a jet to pick you up." Jerry interrupted, shocking the four.
Guam Missiles Base –04:12 PM.
"Sergeant Clover, relieving you, sir."
Clover, in a military uniform, said as the spies, also in uniform, got into a room with a large computer. "General wishes to see you on the double, sir."
The men ran out as the spies got to the computer and saw the missiles about to launch. "We gotta stop those missiles!" Alex yelled, going to the window.
And had Naruto stopped her as electricity covered it before the screen had C.H.A.D. come up with a loading bar. Suddenly, it went black, and a face that had red outline eyes and lips came up and spoke in the same voice that attacked the others.
"Sorry, you're not going to interfere this time. Excuse me now, I have some schools to vaporize.
"We're running out of time!" Alex yelled as Clover dashed over and melted the doors with the camera.
"Oops, did I mess that up for you?"
"Clever. But all you've done is buy a few hours. I'll just infiltrate another silo. And you're not going anywhere."
C.H.A.D. said and turned the screen off. Alex pulled her liquid nitrogen and froze the window before they broke out. "Let's get back to Silicon Valley. The only way to stop this is to find that hacker."
"Our suspects narrowed to one. Adam's password is the name of his invention, 'C.H.A.D.'" Clover said before they ran to the jet they came in on.
Silicon Valley –07:54 PM.
"No one picked up. The message says his father is out of town."
Alex said as the spies in their catsuits were in a tree overlooking a house. "You think Adam's setting a trap?"
"Not Adam. That thing he invented." Naruto spoke as he crouched on the limb he was on.
"You said it yourself, Alex, the hacker is too fast to be human," Clover says as Sam looks down.
"It travels on the Internet, controls Other computers... That's the answer! C.H.A.D. thinks for itself!" She exclaims as she stands.
"No one learns from 80s movies. I mean, the Cyborg franchise told us about A.I., but we didn't listen." Naruto mused, standing as the girls stared blankly at him. "… I hate being the only boy in this group."
"An evil computer with a mind of its own? That is so creepy." Alex says before they got up and shot a wire to the house to zip-line down.
They then dropped before Alex lost her footing, before being pulled and landed in Naruto's arms to keep her from falling into Sam and into a laser.
They walked over it and inside to a room that was locked. "So much for stealth." Naruto kicked the door open and saw Adam with a helmet on, connected to his computer and C.H.A.D.'s eyes over it. They also saw a countdown for another missile location.
"Aim for the power cord!" Alex melted the breaker box on the wall, only for the power to come back on.
Suddenly, devices started to attack before Sam yelled out. "Adam, help us!"
After a moment, Adam was able to fight and pour water on his computer and C.H.A.D. before they ran out, just as missiles hit the house.
Beverly Hills High –03:02 PM.
"OK, whoa! This is contempt of court!"
Mandy said as the group walked inside and saw that a button on Clover's top was unbuttoned. "Mandy, enough is enough." The teacher said, walking up.
"Tell me about it. I'll sentence them to six weeks of picking up trash."
"No, you won't. You have utterly failed to enforce the dress code. You are off the student court!" The teacher said to Mandy, who blinked.
"Oh, really? Well, if I'm not a judge anymore, then I demand a new job!"
Later, Mandy was picking up trash before hitting an old milk carton.
