Neo: Listen guys – now that we’re here we’ll try and take you guys out one by one.
Travis: But what if they stopped quarrelling and noticed us making our escape?
Neo: Calm down Travis – if they notice us, we’ll be ready for an attack. Now just hang on… (gets out a big pair of scissors) …we’ll have you out in no time.
Bubble: Yeah, the sooner the better! I can’t bear to put up in a dark atmosphere like this!
There was silence between them all for a while, and as he looked on, he saw the others waiting for their cue. He stuck his thumb up, and then the others came over, with great stealth.
(Music stops)
But as they ran, Chad accidentally tripped up, causing a loud clang on the floor, and for the enemies to be silenced.
Tiko: (speaks eventually) Did I hear something?
Sgt. Soup: If that’s the case, it has to be in the form of a… (turns around, facing Chad) …TRAITOR!!!!!!
Chad: AAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Music restarts – Delerium feat. Sarah McLachlan – “Silence” (Airscape remix, instrumental)]
Tiko: (gets out his gun) And any traitors on our land will be immediately… (speaks in a lower tone) …terminated!
There was the pull of the trigger…
BANG!
…and it got Chad directly on the chest! He started suffering from a bad injury, but he eventually managed to stand up.
Misty: CHAD! (goes up to him)
Tiko: (gasps) ANOTHER ONE!!!!! (fires again)
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Quickly Misty grabbed Chad and dragged him back into the main corridors, avoiding the gunfire on the way.
Neo: I have a bad feeling that they’ve spotted us…
Snappy: Don’t panic. Free us and we’ll be able to help you out!
Gadget: We’ll try!
She immediately grabs hold of the ropes, and cuts Snappy out… with her teeth! Then she came over to Bubble and freed him with the same method. Finally she went for Travis, who got out easily! Having seen that, Neo looked on at Boron, Goliath and Corona, and freed them with the scissors. Brio saw Kiwi on the smallest chair, in the middle of them all, so he grabbed her body and pulled her out!
(Music kicks into the middle 8)
Kiwi: Mind my rib cage – it’s delicate!
Brio: Sorry…
Tiko: AAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! THEY’RE FREE!!!!!!!!
Sgt. Soup: Don’t squeal at me – I’ll take them out!
Tiko: (puts on a jet pack) You best do, or else! I’m outta here – I’m gone from this state for good!
So he blasts out of the building from the roof, and this left Sgt. Soup to take on the others.
Neo: Careful guys – this means business.
Boron: (goes up to him) RUFF RUFF!!!!
Neo: I know you want to take him on, but he seems tougher than last time.
Goliath: UH-UH!!!!!! (leaves the room)
Gadget: Hey, where are you going?
Boron: (follows him) WHOO!!!!!!!!!
Corona: Hoo boy… I bet those hound dawgs are gonna suffer.
Neo: For now… I guess it’s up to the rest of us.
Gadget: (comes towards them) And this time, we’re tougher than ever before! (charges at Soup)
Brio: No, wait–
(Snare starts)
But it was already too late, as Gadget immediately tackled Soup with a head butt and then jumped right over him! He then grabbed Tiko’s gun, and started shooting that, but she picked up a piece of the floor and blocked the shots from it, and when the fire stopped… she tossed it like a boomerang… and hit him on the head, as well as breaking the helmet!
(Music kicks into the outro)
Sgt. Soup: OH NO!!!!!!! (turns to Gadget angrily) You’ve got a price to pay!
He loaded his gun again, and this time she had no chance of escape. Cornered in, the guns quickly were fired, and she started cowering.
[Music changes – O-Town – “Liquid Dreams” (Instrumental)]
But… a few seconds later, she still didn’t feel a single shot to her body! She looked ahead of her… and saw Neo with the piece of the floor in his possession!
Gadget: WOW!!!!!!! You’ve saved my life!!! :)
Neo: No problem Gadget – I’m here to stick up for everybody no matter what happens!
Sgt, Soup: DARN!!!!!!!! (kicks his gun on the floor)
Neo: I’ll take the control from here. Watch out, because I have a way to get round all this!
Gadget: Thanks!
Sgt. Soup: Hey, two can play at that game!!! (picks up another piece of the floor)
As they looked on at each other, the others made their escape quickly…
(Music stops)
…but it was all interrupted by a rapid shaking in the room, followed by the room caving in.
Neo: I wasn’t expecting THAT coming in play.
Sgt. Soup: EARTHQUAKE!!!!!!!!!!
(Music restarts – Barthezz – “On The Move”)
They both raced each other for the door, trying to hit each other with their floorboards. Within the time… they both failed at hitting each other, and they were both neck and neck! Finally they reached the door, and only just… Neo came out of the door first, and slammed it in Soup’s face, showing his face print on it! He slipped his floorboard through the lock, so that… he can’t get out! Then a fire erupted from the boiler, causing him to panic a bit more! As he ran, another figure could be made out - two figures rather – they are Chad and Gadget!
Gadget: (waves her hand) Hey Neo! Over here!!!
(Beat stops for a while)
At this stage, they were a fair distance between the erupting fire, and with that, Neo slowed down to reach the two of them.
Neo: What happened here?
Gadget: Boron and Goliath destroyed the boiler, and are out there safely, with the others. We’ve tried to make our escape, but my dad’s been limping behind for a while now.
Chad: (faintly) I… can’t go on like this…
Neo: Stay calm soldier – we’ll take you out!
Gadget: Be careful – the fire’s coming this way!
Neo: (gasps) Best make a run for it!
Quickly he placed Chad in his arms, and dashed out of the area, and Gadget soon ran and followed him.
(Beat kicks in again)
The fire zoomed past the camera, and they were both up close to the exit, but… they don’t seem to be going anywhere! They looked down… and a conveyor belt is carrying them back towards the fire pretty quickly! Gadget hung onto Neo’s shoulder, as they struggled to get past the area. Then by some surprise… it quickly stopped, and they started running again, with the flames up close to them!
Gadget: (starts suffering) I can’t hold on much longer…
Neo: GADGET!!! HANG ON!!!!!!!!!
But as soon as he finished speaking, she slipped behind, but she managed to dodge the flames, and sped up, overtaking the others. Then as they came to the exit… the door closed on them!
(Beat stops for a while again)
Quickly, Gadget jumped into a small opening above the blocked exit, and as soon as she jumped up, a stream of fire can be seen throughout the area. She looked down, and had worry spelt across her face. Are Neo and Chad still OK down there? She had to find out!
(Beat kicks in again)
And the question was soon answered, as they came up, with sweat pouring down their faces! That way, they made their run again, and this time… the fire came up the passageway! But she didn’t realise the danger from behind her.
Neo: GADGET!!!!!!!
Gadget: (gasps and turns around) What the…?
He was slowing down and was no more than a centimetre away from the flames!
Gadget: Hang on…
Neo: NO! It’s too late!!!
Gadget: But…
Neo: If you see Tiko again, take care of him for me!!!
And after that, they both went into the flames, and they couldn’t be made visible from there. Quickly she continued running further and further.
(Action slows down)
There was a light at the end of the tunnel, and she was no more than a few inches away from the flames, and as she quickly stepped her foot out, the fire seemed like it was touching her…
(Music stops, and screen fades white)
Tiko: (on a phone) Soup? Soup, can you hear me? SOUP?!? NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
*******************************
Episode 28 – A Time Of Farewells
Scene: Outside the Miami Beach warehouse
The midday sun can be seen through here, as the warehouse can now be seen as a worse wreck than it was to start with! Through one of the holes, Gadget was seen running across the shores, towards the others, whom were all waiting. Finally she stopped at their feet.
Misty: Hey Gadget – nice to see you out! :)
Gadget: Yeah, but… I’ve got some good news and some bad news.
Corona: What’s the good news?
Gadget: The good news is that the building has been burnt out, telling us that Sergeant Oxtail Soup… we think… is now dead.
Everyone started cheering and celebrating.
Gadget: But the bad news… is that Neo and Chad didn’t…
[Music starts – Moby – “Porcelain” (Intro instrumental)]
Neo: (from the distance) OVER HERE!!!!!
Gadget: (gasps) YOU’RE ALIVE!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!
Everyone turned to him, and they saw him with Chad in his arms this time around! The cheering went wilder and wilder than it ever has been before!
Corona: I knew we would do it with his help!!!
Misty: Yeah, and for some reason… I feel happy for him.
Bubble: What?
Misty: It’s best living in a world where the enemy is down rather than where he’s up. So I’d like to congratulate him. ;)
As they spoke, he came closer and closer to them, with a proud look on his face.
(Music stops as soon as he comes to them)
Finally he made a stop, and he placed Chad down on his feet… who collapsed as soon as he was let go.
Gadget: (gasps) DAD!
He tried to get up, but he just couldn’t. Gadget started to have a worried look on her face now.
Gadget: Please… what’s wrong?
Chad: (very faintly) The gunfire…
Gadget: What?
Chad: (very faintly) Give me somewhere to rest. The gunfire has caused a bad effect on me…
The tears came down a bit faster.
Gadget: No… don’t rest now – stay awake. Please… don’t go…
Chad: (very faintly) Yes… but I’ll wake up.
Gadget: Good.
Chad: (very faintly) In heaven…
Gadget: (sniffs) What?
Chad: (very faintly) I have lived long enough to see my dream come true… and now… like Dr. Brio before me… I shall move on to a new mission…
Gadget: (breathes in, mourning) No… please…
Chad: (very faintly) Remove… my bandana.
And so she did, slowly but carefully.
Chad: (very faintly) If there’s any chance of evil returning… I am counting on you to make the dreams… come true…
Gadget: (sobs) No…
Chad: (very faintly) And finally… Neo… I want to thank you… for your courage in helping us… it’ll be great to have you… to be a great help in the future… and your cub Boron… I’ll be happy… to classify him… as a Private… he showed bravery in the previous mission… and now he’d be happy to have the title.
Neo: Any time. But… (sheds a tear) …it’ll be horrible to see you go. Please don’t…
Chad: (very faintly) Sorry… but now… it’s my only choice… I’ll be looking up to you… in the city in the sky…
Gadget: (sniffs) Please no…
Chad: (very faintly) I love you all…
Gadget. (breathes in, mourning) We all love you too…
Chad: (very faintly) I’ll remain in your heart for time… to come…
Gadget: No… (sniffs) Dad!
Chad: (very faintly) I’ll… be… by… your… siiiiiiiide… (limps on the ground and closes his eyes)
Gadget: (sniffs) Dad?
There was no response. She lifted his arm, and it dropped down. She placed her ear to his mouth… but he wasn’t breathing. Then she placed her ear to her heart… and there was no pulse. Her crying went from bad to worse – she buried her head deep into his chest, and tears can be seen dripping down terribly. Charles Medulla IV… is dead.
[Scene changes to the back streets near their apartment. Music restarts – Craig Armstrong – “Weather Storm” (Without percussion and bass)]
It was that same night, and darkness has overlapped the area, with smoke being seen coming through the atmosphere.
(Camera dips down)
Everyone living in the block were surrounding a bright fire, and this was no ordinary fire. Now, Chad’s body is being cremated. Everyone looked on with mourning looks on their faces, especially Gadget, who was shredding tears in her eyes.
Neo: I know your feelings… (strokes her on the back) …but I’m afraid everyone has to lose a special person at some stage of their lives.
Gadget: (sniffs) Yes, but… (sobs) …you don’t understand. My father… (sniffs) …was the closest relation to me since my mother and my siblings… (sniffs)
Neo: I know, but… (sighs) I know for sure that Chad was a nice man who lived a great life, fighting crime and defending the state. Having used speed as much as he could, he was a perfect icon, serving the city well. But now, he’s gone… and he’s achieved a dream of clearing the toughest enemies around.
Gadget: (sniffs) Why do you say that?
Neo: Now that Sgt. Soup is gone, he can’t kill anyone else.
Gadget: (sobs) As for Mozzarella Cheese?
Neo: She’d be in jail by now. I know that she has a magic finger and all, but what we know is that she’s physically weaker than she was before. So no matter what… she can’t go and kill you.
Gadget didn’t take any notice. She continued sobbing at the sign of her father’s burning body.
Neo: (sighs) I know this mission is over, but how about we stay with you for another week, just to help you calm your nerves.
Gadget sniffed again, but turned back towards him, with tears in her eyes. Even though it’s all over now, there is still a heart out there to save her soul.
[Scene fades out, and restores on the road outside the apartment block, on a sunrise. Words show up on bottom right hand corner of the screen in futuristic writing – “One Week Later”. Music changes – Planet Funk – “Chase The Sun” (Ambient radio edit, instrumental)]
The same cream coloured jeep can be seen outside, parked on the road. The main doors opened from the apartment block, and out came Snappy, with two suitcases full of luggage. He came to a sudden stop at the back of the car, and tossed them in the boot. As he was placing the luggage inside, Bubble came out through the doors, rushing over to him.
Bubble: Snappy, you can’t go yet!
Snappy: (turns to Bubble) Why not?
Bubble: I know that you’ve been here for over a week now, but you’ve still to try and help me catch Goliath and evolve him!
Snappy: Hey, relax. I know that you like evolving animals, but think about it. What’s the point at the end of the day, when there’s no Sgt. Soup anymore?
Bubble: Er…
Snappy: Think about it. What else do you need him for – a butler?
Bubble: (turns around) I guess you could be right there. If Boron gets a chance of seeing him again, then I don’t think he likes the sound of evolved animals in an area like this.
Snappy: What about Corona and Misty?
Bubble: Well, with the exception of the *ahem* Florida Freedom Fighters.
Snappy: Nice alliteration. ;)
Bubble: Thanks!
As they spoke, everyone else came out from the building, seeing the goodbyes unfold.
[Music changes – Energy 52 – “Café Del Mar” (Michael Woods remix)]
Well, not quite everyone. As for Neo and Gadget… they were round the back areas, where they were now standing next to a plot of grass with a wooden Christian cross on it.
Gadget: Now… I’m not the best of goodbyes, but thank you for making this week a lot easier for me.
Neo: No problem. Why?
Gadget: First you helped me get over my feelings for my father. (looks down at the cross) As a matter of fact, he’d be with us in this apartment for time to come. Secondly… (looks down at her belly) …I’d like to thank you for a future gift.
Neo: Any time. Remember the method – take a male and a female, put them together and in nine months all your dreams will come true. ;)
Gadget: (laughs) You sweet thing! And thirdly, you’ve been a bigger help to everyone else’s lives as well. As you said, no one can slaughter us, now that Sgt. Soup is gone.
Neo: Don’t give all the credit to me – you need some as well.
Gadget: Really?
Neo: Exactly. If it weren’t for you, my time in defeating Tiko and Soup would be much more difficult.
Gadget: Oh, thank you! :) (brings him closer, but not too hard) Hey, how about we go for a couple of good luck presents before your departure.
Neo: I’d be more than happy to!
Gadget: First I’ll give you this as a token of my greatest gratitude.
She hands him… a suitcase. As he opened it he saw a blues guitar, looking finer than ever.
Gadget: You need this more than I do. I can’t even play the thing.
Neo: Neither can I, so why bother? :/
Gadget: You’ll soon learn from the instruction manual inside the case.
Neo: Thanks. And what’s the second gift?
Gadget: (brings him closer) Embrace yourself, because you’ll be thinking all about this. ;)
(Beat kicks in)
And with that, the wind blew further and further towards them, until it formed a cyclone around them. Their heads come closer as well… until their lips touched and they performed a lengthy kiss under the gust. Gadget’s hair was moving in the wind, as well as a few blades of grass from underneath them. Finally, the gust faded out, and the lips left each other.
(Beat stops for a while)
Neo: Now I DEFINITELY won’t be forgetting that!
Gadget: Really? Hey, I see a future ahead of us. Misty told me… that you could be the man of my dreams.
Neo: You’re joking!!!
Gadget: No I’m not. I know that you’re leaving the area now, but I can sense that someday… you’ll be back.
Neo: Thanks. (sighs) Looks like I have to go and finish off with my life long dream.
Gadget: Which is?
Neo: To imprison my siblings for life.
Gadget: Good, good! (glances in his eyes) Good luck!
(Beat gets back in)
They both shook hands, and with that, Neo finally turned away from her and walked slowly towards the front of the block. After a few steps he took a mischievous glance over his shoulder, to see Gadget, looking depressed. After 20 seconds he turned back towards the vehicle, where everyone else was crowding round. As soon as he got there, everyone moved out of his way, and the others hopped in first. Finally he came in to the driver’s seat, started the engine, stepped on the gas, and left the area at so far 20km/h. Meanwhile, Gadget looked on, and saw them leave the area. She looked up, and saw a metal ladder leading to the rooftops. So she immediately climbed up it, and whilst she was half way up, she could already see her hero, driving off into the open roads of the state.
[Camera goes up to the car. Music changes – Delerium feat. Sarah McLachlan – “Silence” (Michael Woods remix, intro)]
As they were driving off to another location, there were still a few doubts about where to go.
Neo: How far is it to Columbus?
Another sign came across, revealing the answer.
Brio: About 1150 km from here.
Snappy: Here we go again…
Boron gave out a worried howl.
Neo: Hoo boy… (sighs and remains silent for five seconds) How far is it to Los Angeles?
Snappy couldn’t help but laugh. Then the sign came up saying the answer… and a little more.
Brio: About 2795km from here… (turns to Snappy) …and it’s not funny.
Snappy: (laughs) Who wants to go to LA at this time?
Brio: Oh come on, the day’s still young. (turns to Neo) Ain’t that right?
Even though his control on the road was still as good, there was a sign of depression on his face.
Brio: Awww, I know that you miss your home, but what else can we do?
Neo: It’s not my home – it’s… Gadget…
Brio: Say what?
Neo: I’m afraid that I might never find a girl like her ever again…
Brio: Oh cheer up, there’s still plenty of fish in the sea. There’s bound to be one for your needs, right?
No response.
Brio: RIGHT?
Still no response. What he didn’t realise… was that Neo was lost in his own thoughts, though he’s driving OK.
(Screen turns white and as soon as the vocals start, it then fades out on the highlights of the venture, each of them highlights with Gadget in it – from the start, where they first met, to the end, where they last did their handshake. As soon as the beat stops, the screen restores itself back to its position.)
Brio: Earth to Neo! (waves his hand over him)
Snappy: Houston, we have a problem.
Neo: (suddenly snaps out of it) Wh… what?
Snappy: Never mind.
Brio: As I was saying, there were plenty more fish in the sea where that came from.
Neo: I know, but she’s the one for me… I’d never find anyone like that again.
(Music fades out)
A sign came past, saying “Cheer up, bud!”
Snappy: Told you those signs can talk to us! ;)
Neo: Er, thanks.
[Music restarts – Robbie Williams and Queen – “We Are The Champions” (Intro instrumental, taken from the soundtrack to “A Knight’s Tale”)]
Brio: Look at things this way – we have a dream to accomplish here, and that’s to make sure your siblings are at rest, and that’s what we’re here for, right?
Neo: Good point. ;)
Brio: O_O
Neo: I know that we may have lost a hearted soul, but we’ll lose a million more if we’re not careful.
Brio: Why’s that?
Neo: From this experience, I have learnt one thing – one can make all the difference.
Snappy: So?
Boron: Huh?
Brio: Why one?
Neo: You never know what could happen when we have a few additions to our side, and they made a difference to me. (looks on) For now, we need to complete the dreams and see the differences that lie ahead… as the foursome we are. :)
(Camera zooms out)
And so they continued driving up the deserted highway, looking forward to the challenges ahead.
(Scene changes to the rooftops of the apartment block. Music kicks into the last chorus and turns vocal)
Gadget was looking over the top of the building, seeing her dreams vanish over the horizon. She also had a few tears in her eyes, but then again, she can’t help it. She pulled out Chad’s bandana from her pockets and waved it high in the air, then a few seconds later she removed her headband and put it on. She then saw a can of lager at her feet, and showing how broken-hearted she is inside she kicked it off the building and looked back at her belly. Finally she looked up at the sky, and smiled. Neo has a future ahead of him, and it looks bright. Gadget also has a future ahead of her… and it’s destined to make her a proud woman, with a future filled with her own signs of destiny.
(Scene fades to black and the music stops. Then the top of a swirling navy vortex can be seen in the background, and a slideshow of Gadget’s life from there until the present can be seen at the bottom right hand corner. The credits run alongside it, as well as Staind – “It’s Been Awhile”.)

*******************************
OUT-TAKES OF THE CHAPTER
Travis: (from the distance) Hey people – I’ve found them!
Misty: What the…?
The other members of the gang started speeding down the corridor towards Travis’s room… but Misty tripped up over the service tray, sending the contents flying. As she landed on her belly, two plates, the medicine and the “gruesome snack” went falling on her head.
Gadget: (turns around) Oh, you all right?
Misty: Let’s just say that I feel like I’m ready for a part in “ER”. :/
*******************************
Gadget: Now the only problem is, how on earth are we gonna get in?
Brio: (gets out a pistol) Leave that to me!
He stuck the end of the pistol inside one of the holes, and took out several magazines filled with bullets. He pulled the trigger and…
BANG! SMASH!
He kept on firing for a while, looking in a top hole for accuracy, and after a minute or two… the firing stopped.
Brio: :) All clear!
But just as he finished speaking… a rifle got him in the head, sending him down, suffering.
Brio: (suffering from some serious pain) Ow… life flashing before my eyes…
Neo: (sighs) Come on, I thought we told you that we were just gonna use blanks for this scene.
Brio: (rises) What the…? I never knew…
*******************************
Sgt. Soup sat alone in the darkness. He knew that he had a chance of winning, much higher than the others, but what if after all these years he finally gets defeated and taken to jail? After teaming up with a punk that had hardly any experience in crime, he had thoughts around his head that his end could be very much nearby. But a family of flies roaming around his head interrupted the thoughts, and as soon as they landed on his helmet…
Sgt. Soup: HEY!!!!!!! (rises and swipes around him) GERROFF!!!!!!!!!
The flies quickly went away from him.
Director: (sighs) Come on – insects don’t bother you, right?
Sgt. Soup: I know, but is this why I’m called Sgt. Soup – flies around me?
Snappy: (from backstage) They’re doing the Backstroke sir!
Sgt. Soup: Grrr…
*******************************
The wolverines leapt towards Sgt. Soup and landed on all their feet. As soon as they touched down, they started growling.
Sgt. Soup: (aims his club at them) Stay away from me, you miserable mutts!
He immediately swipes his club down… but this caused both cubs to split up. He looked confused for a while… until Boron jumped on his back… and removed his helmet, but ends up pulling it off with too much force, and fell off his back… on top of Goliath!
Director: CUT!
Goliath: (pushes Boron off) Hey, what’s the big idea? You nearly had me big time!
Boron: Er…
Goliath: (leaves the set) If you want me, I’ll be in my trailer. (leaves)
Gadget: He can talk? :/
Director: Well, in the stories themselves he can’t speak – only communicate in barks and growls, like Boron.
Gadget: Ah, I geddit now! :)
*******************************
Neo: (in a lower-toned sexy voice) Baby, you can lift my spirits any day of the week.
Gadget: Oh my goodness, you just said THAT?!?!? :) How sweet! (takes his hand and pulls him closer to her) Now…
But as she pulled him, she screamed as they ended up falling down… with Neo on top of Gadget as they landed!
Snappy: (from his chair) Heehee! They’re doin’ it on the set!
Neo: SNAPPY!!!!!!!!!
Snappy: Oh brother…
With that, he was chased around the studio (again!), this time screaming his head off!
*******************************
Snappy: If I’d classify you as a criminal, I’d say that you’re King Kong.
Corona: Why?
Snappy: Because both of them have a brain the size of an electron!
Sgt. Soup: AT LEAST I KNOW WHAT THEY ARE, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
Snappy: Sheesh, don’t get your underpants in a twist. (turns to the camera) If you want to do a situation like this, don’t try this at home! (pauses for a while) Do it at school. ;)
Tiko: THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!!!!!!!!!!! >: (turns to Sgt. Soup) Give him the club!
Sgt. Soup: Yes sir!
He takes the club and lifted it up to a high height… but it slid out of his hand and dropped on Tiko’s feet!
CLANG!
Tiko: OOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!! (jumps up on both feet, but falls on his back, and grabs his feet in pain) AH, THE PAIN!!!!!!!!!
Sgt. Soup: (lifts up the club) Er, maybe we should change clubs for this scene, in case something else happens.
*******************************
Neo: For now… I guess it’s up to the rest of us.
Gadget: (comes towards them) And this time, we’re tougher than ever before! (charges at Soup)
Brio: No, wait–
But it was already too late, as Gadget immediately tackled Soup with a head butt and then jumped right over him! He then grabbed Tiko’s gun, and started shooting that, but she picked up a piece of the floor and blocked the shots from it… only to see them drilling right through the metal!
Gadget: Yikes!
Sgt. Soup: What, were they too powerful? :/
*******************************
Neo: Hoo boy… (sighs and remains silent for five seconds) How far is it to Los Angeles?
Snappy couldn’t help but laugh. Then the sign came up saying the answer… and a little more.
Brio: About 2795km from here… (turns to Snappy) …and it’s not funny.
Snappy: (laughs) Who wants to go to…
POP! HISS!
Snappy: Oh no… a popped tyre!!!
Bubble: (from the horizon) Hey, let me come over there and sort that out!
Neo: (sighs and speaks sarcastically) Thank Jimmy Carter for the Technical Starfish… (rolls his eyes)
