There go Alfy, Dick, DunFrey, Harry, and Zack. I can already hear the other passengers' screams right now.....

AAAAAAAHHH!!!!

Ok, we got the castle to ourselves! Party, boys....?

Oh, yeah, baby. LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!!

LET'S GET A PARTY GOING!  LET'S GET A PARTY GOING!

This is your pilot speaking. We are landing in Italy in ten minutes. Please fasten all seatbelts.

Ohhh, good. That old man has gone crazy.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, OLD MAN GONE CRAZY?!

OK, I'll drive!

UHHHHH..... WHAT SORT OF CRAZY DRIVING WAS THAT? UHHH.....

Nice little drive, eh, boys? I remember, in the 80's, I had a good old Chevy Corvette.....

Alpha, this is Beta. Weapons and communication systems are intact. We are going in after the Cookie.

Gamma reporting to Alpha. Getaway car intact, everything ready. Waiting for the go ahead.

Ok guys. Hmmmmm...... GO!

Ssshhh! Be quiet!

Get your stinky boot out of my face!

Come on, let's burn our way in!

SUPER-COMPUTER!

Where's the super-computer... wow. Seriously?! This guy has a super-computer right in plain sight for anybody to steal? Wow. Ok, Harry, do yer stuff and let's get outta here. Gives me the creeps, this place does.

They download the information, and then delete it from the super-computer using a virus made by Zack that destroys all of the info........

Done! Let's scram!

And that is where you fail. Get them, men!

Run!

Go, go, go! I hope this flimsy contraption of a parachute works. I know Zack's a genius, but....

I heard that, Beta. Have you been seen by Grandma? I know you have, Mr. Clumsy.

Beta, there's no time! We have the Cookie! Take us to Alpha, STAT!

Roger that, Gamma! Alpha, we have been spotted by Grandma, so we are heading your way with the Cookie.

They reach Gamma......

Alpha to Beta and Gamma, Ok, we'll get the luggage ready for the flight!

I'm really sick now! Remind me who decided that Dick would get to be  the getaway driver?

Start the Beetle, quick! I must have them, and their cool Porsche!

Beta and Gamma try to get away......

Shoot the tires, but I must have the car intact!

Vroom Vroom!

Phut-phut-phut

Bang, Bang! Screech! We've gotta run for it! Crzzt. Chk. Brzzt. Ertzacksziks. (This is radio static.)

What happened? Dick?! DunFrey?! Harry?! Anyone?!

They just went offline! We aren't receiving any signals! I'll shut down my computer. Wait, Alfred?! Oh no!

Tran....quilizer....dart...

SHUTTING

DOWN.....

They didn't even hear us coming in, yo!

Easiest job ever, yo!

One 'yo' too many. Grandma made me cookies...

A few hours later, at an unknown location...

Ughh. My head is so groggy from that tranquilizer. Wait a sec...You guys got captured too!? Aw man! Where are we anyway?

(Whispering) Wait! We can send the distress video we made to the guys back home! The boys are always watching Formula 1 on the TV at this time, so they'll get the message!

(Whispering) Done it!

(Whispering) Press the secret button on his glasses!

Shh! Someone's coming!

Man, I wish we had our Porsche back here, those guys took it for their vacation.

Meanwhile...

Hey! Who switched the channel?

Urgent! Incoming hologram message. ID: Mr.Science

Stand back! It'll start projecting!

Nobody changed the channel. It is a hologram message from Zack, because his network ID is Mr. Science.

Projecting...

If you are watching this, it means we have been captured and are in need of assistance. Our 'vacation' was really just a secret mission to retrieve secret information. We had been tipped off about it by our police force contact and decided not to tell you, cause you had already had tons of adventures.

Projecting...

We each have left you some things for your mission. Mine and Alfie's are in the armory. Dick's is in the library. Harry's is in his closet. DunFrey's is in the garage.  They all have notes with them. On the back of each note there's info of what the thing'll do! Good luck!

For Adam, Fred, and Ryder!

Wow! Three energy swords that look like lightsabers!

They are battery-powered, convert kinetic energy into electric energy and vice-versa! We can generate electric shocks and fight well!

These are much stronger than our old swords!

Zack's gift....

For Adam, Fred, and Ryder!

These are lighters, but when you double click, it becomes a flamethrower, and when you do that again, it turns into a normal lighter!

Nice!

Be careful, guys! Don't burn the castle!

Alfy's gift...

For Fred, Adam, and Ryder!

Wow! Check out this sweet modified Mclaren Artura! It's even got hidden guns!

Awesome!

Cooooooooooooool!

DunFrey's gift....

These jackets are nice, comfortable, and bulletproof! Harry’s a fashion genius!

Oh, I dunno. Look at the state of his hair! Once when he was sleeping me and Zack combed his hair but in the morning, he messed it again. Even his handwriting is messy!

For Adam, Fred, and Ryder.

Harry's gift...

Dick's gift...

Huh? What're these books for? 

"How to stay Healthy, Fit, and Active by Richard Hoffman" (Dick is short for Richard). Oh, he wants us to stay healthy, fit and active. Nice!

We ARE getting a bit out of shape, I must say! Watching all that TV!

For Adam, Fred, and Ryder!

We've got the energy swords, the Mclaren, the jackets, the flamethrowers, and these books, so let's go! Wait a sec. We’ll need a truck to transport the Mclaren, because it isn't modified for long-distance transport. How should we get a truck?

Thought you'd never ask!

Leave it to us, Ryder.

Wow! A Daimler GenH2! How did you get it?

Since Mr.DunFrey's a government official, we asked the government for one, Ryder.

A few hours later.....

Then we saw that in the options, there was this truck, and it's a prototype which runs on hydrogen, not petrol, so we got it, baby! We'll be saving our friends without damaging the environment!

We're here! Yes! Now we can save our friends!

I hope so, Ryder.

Me too, Freddy boy.

We know which hotel room they booked. Let's investigate it for clues.

Oh no! They aren't here!

The hotel manager assured us that they never came out so they must have been kidnapped!

The laptop's been stolen too! We better find them quickly before the kidnappers hack into the laptop and get the top-secret info back!

Bossman wants ta' see ya, prisonahs'!

(Thinking) That guy looks familiar.

A gangster comes to their cell.....

We meet at last! So you all must be wondering how I captured you, I'm sure. Well, I hacked into your so-called 'secure' radio frequency. I found out that Alpha was the brains, Beta was the getaway driver, and Gamma were the thieves. I used a special device to locate where all the teams were, then I sent my men to get Alpha, while me and some other men would capture Beta and Gamma. But we arrived to the computer too late. My information is in your USB! So now I want you to tell me your USB's password!

I have a short answer. Starts with 'N', rhymes with go.

Haha!

Very well then! Let's see if no food and water for as long as needed will loosen your tongue!

Well, I have five big energy granola-choc bars and I’ve got five flasks of water!

Oh, yeah. That will last long if we ration ourselves.

Excuse me boss, but it’s my break time now. May I leave?

Meh, fine.

Good thing the bossman doesn't know about my Porsche 911, he'd go nuts! I hope those guys have a car, cuz mine's a two-seater.

Aw’right, this is the place!

At a hotel…

We’ve got to find out where they are! We’re trying to track the holo-message, but it’s not working! There's probably a special firewall!

Knock knock!

Somebody’s here! Everybody, grab a gun!

Adam, open the door quickly!

Ok!

Hands up, buddy boy!

Don’t shoot! I am an Interpol agent! I’m here to help you save your friends! I’m Agent Owen Caldwell from Interpol!

Prove it, buddy boy!

Here’s my proof: My Interpol badge! And for heaven’s sake, stop calling me buddy boy!

Let me check it. It is real! Come in the room, let's check your Interpol record, buddy boy.

Stop calling me buddy boy!

Yeah, you’re good. But, where are our friends, buddy boy?

Ok then, I’ll put my car in your truck with your car!

I'll tell you,  you guys follow me in your car!

We’ve actually got a truck and a car! Let’s take the truck, with the car in the trailer. If we go in fancy cars people will talk, b……

Don’t say it!

 Where do we go now, buddy boy?

Drive for three hundred meters, then turn left, then turn right, then left, then give the wheel to me!

STOP CALLING ME BUDDY BOY, RYDER!

We got some bogeys on our tail Fred, man the guns!

Adam and Fred are in the Mclaren, the guys have decided to split up…..

Got it!

What? Lasers don't work on it? Quick, make the Mclaren go faster,  it'll help us not get shot and I'll switch to blow-up bullets, which are also interestingly named 'incendiary' bullets.....

What?! We don't have incendiary bullets?! Quick, make the Arturo airborne! Let's go - and fast!

Don't. You. Dare.

Everybody got knife, tranquilizer gun, pistol, rifle, and sword? Ok, let’s go!

Later......

We got it, b-

Ok, let's bust in!

(Whispering) Be very very quiet! Split up! If you find the hostages, press the fourth button on your jacket. It will notify us by our fourth button using holograms to tell us where you are. After that, we will capture the kid, I know where his office is but I don't know where the hostages are. Ok, go!

I've somehow got a feeling that someone's behind me.....

Hmmmmm……Nope!

Hands up!

(Grunts)

Whaaaaaaaaa…..!!!

Oooooff!

Ohhhh, you don’t know me, little boy!

Oh really?

Oh yeah!

I’ve got a feeling that there’s something wrong……….

Hands up!

Well, there’s no time to waste!

You're gonna pay for that, you little beast!

What the hell?!

Oh yeah!

Duhhhhhhhhhhh, man!

....When we get the info from those guys, we're gonna get a pay rise! Did ya know that?

Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

What the?!

How did ya do that?

Like this.

Duh!

FWOOOSH!

That boy likes everything mission impossible.

Someone's coming!

Someone's coming!

Someone's coming!

Hands u- Oh, it’s just you guys.

This proves that we’re on our guard!

Yup!

I don't think so! Tranquilize them!

Oh no! It’s all up to Owen the Interpol agent to save us. 

When they wake up......

Actually, no! I’ve put a tiny harpoon thingy in the lining of my jeans so we could us it to unlock things! Let's use it!

We'll use these bars from our cell door as weapons! Wait, someone's coming!

Hey Owen! They know we're here! Wait, what's wrong?

We thought you were one of them!

He's got the password! He's got it through almost starving your friends and he's sending all his men to finish us off! We've got to get to him, he's in Sector Eight! When he gets the USB in his supercomputer, he’ll have the information! We’ve got to get to him, now!

What are we waiting for?! Let’s get our weapons and then let's teach that brat a lesson he’ll never forget!
