A.N.T.I. (American Nitwits Think Intelligently): The Rebellion

After Whit's aunt Dori types a 57 number code into the breifcase it pops open to reveal a small life raft with a huge motor and everything. Whit was completely stunned as she walked onto it. It was a speed boat with blasting radios attached. Whit had always been a fan of sitting at the top part of the boat so she rushes to sit as her aunt starts the engine. For about 30 minutes of the wind brushing through Whits pigtails- they were so gross and knotty now, and the salt water didnt help. Whereever she was going she hoped for a shower.

She went to go ask Dori some questions- being an ANTI agent has always made her question everything.

"Where are we going"
"You'll find out"
"Wow very creative answer." Whit's sarcasm seeped through every pore in her body. Whit's preteen/teen attitude was beginning to develop.

"I will not be talked to in that tone young lady. I am your elder and you will respect me- If I don't want to tell you where we are going you dont answer back with snooty responses!"
Dori had turned off the engine for the little speech. This slightly scared Whit. She wasn't very used to being talked to like this. Whenever she was with her parents they were so happy to see her they never said anything when she did not so kind things. and when she's with her fellow agents they are so quirky and random sarcasm has become so common noone notices it anymore. Whit was shocked into silence.

"Good- now go back to the front Pink- we will be there soon"

She sat in her spot wildly thinking...Whit only saw completely blue water in front of her how could they be close unless...its invisible...

Squatting down along the wall, Mal'ady read intently, murmuring to herself. Suddenly, the sound of someone blowing a raspberry caught her attention. She looked up, straight into the eyes of a scowling, purple-furred MUPPETZ, accompanied by six or seven others in various shades of yellow and blue, all sticking their tongues out.

"Oh, hello!" She stood up. "Sorry for taking up space in your hallway--I was just trying to finish a chapter. Do you know how hard it is to break off in the middle of a sentence?"

The purple MUPPETZ stared at her for a moment before he spoke. "ANTI!" he growled. "We hates ANTI. We hates ANTI on our ship. And we really, really hates orange socks." He pointed at Mal'ady's feet and withdrew a gun.

"Bother," she shook her head. "Well, in that case...meet my friends." With one smooth movement, she withdrew the two handguns from her holsters. "This," she twitched the left gun, "is War, and this one is Peace." She cocked the guns and sighed happily. "Tolstoy was a genius."

The band of MUPPETZ slowly advanced on her, and Mal'ady backed up a step for every forward one they took. Suddenly, she nearly yelped in surprise as her socks were suddenly soaked. A flood of icy-cold water spilled through the corridor.

Mal'ady looked back to find that several more armed MUPPETZ had joined the troop stalking her. She bit her lip, but there was no choice but to keep backing away down the darkening corridor as the water grew deeper and deeper.

Looking from side to side, he saw MUPPETZ shot down in a flurry of fur, and he knew exactly where Doctor Joe was. With all of the MUPPETZ off of the deck, the only noise left was the step-stomp of ANTI agent's feet and the wailing screams of MUPPETZ drowning.

Then it hit him. "Where is Whit Send? Anyone? Has anyone seen Whit?" He asked everyone he saw. Looking on the side of the boat towards the submarine, the glimpse of an yellow life-raft-like-motor-boat-with-radio-blaring caught his eye. "Whit." was his first response. His second thought was "And that person has no sense of music. If you're going to blare music, don't blare the golden oldies." -cringe-

Having commandeered the ship, CyKo lost sight of the motorboat that Whit was on, then solemnly said: "She's out of our hand now. We can't split up anymore--- we're already short on members to crew this boat."

A.N.T.I. (American Nitwits Think Intelligently): The Rebellion

Ellemo had heard about the invasion, near destruction, and then taking over of one of his prized ships and he was very displeased about that and ended up taking it out on a few of his minions. Once his anger had dissipated some, he decided to go survey the damage for himself and stood up from where he was sitting behind his desk.

Looking over at one of his ever-present minions, he said, "Go ready the Ellecopter and be prepared to leave in two minutes."

"Yes sir!" the minion exclaimed before hurrying out of the room and heading to the hanger (which was built into the side of a mountain) to prepare to leave.

Ellemo waited exactly 1.5 minutes before leaving his office and walking down the hallway to the hanger. He was very happy to see that his minion had followed directions exactly and the Ellecopter was ready for departure. Climbing in, he shut the door and buckled in just behind the pilot's seat since he never flew the chopper himself. He believed that it was beneath his status as a Muppetz overlord, so he always forced one of his minion's to fly for him... usually the one who had prepared the chopper for departure.

Once everyone was settled, the minion pressed a button and the roof of the hanger/mountain split open and the Ellecopter rose up into the air. The hanger closed again with another push of the button and soon they were speeding off across the land and then water, homing in on the prized ship as fast as they possibly could.

Soon the ship came into view and Ellemo was disheartened to see tattered and torn Muppetz bodies everywhere and several A.N.T.I. agents on the deck of his ship.

"A.N.T.I.! I should've known. They always stick their disgusting noses into my business. Well I'll show them..." He then lapsed into incoherent grumbling that included quite a few unkind words about the agents on his ship when he noticed a couple of Muppetz trying to wave him down.

"Minion! Hover over the ship and rescue those two. They may give some insight as to what has happened here."

"Yes sir!" the minion said as his fingers flew over the controls. Soon they were hovering over the ship and a ladder had been descended for the two lonely Muppetz. While they were waiting, Ellemo reached out to his own controls and started to send flaming angry mutant muffins down onto the lone A.N.T.I. agent he spotted.

Each flaming muffin was shouting loudly (sounding almost like a broken record), "We are displeased! We are displeased! We are displeased!"

Soon the two lonely Muppetz were safely on board and Ellemo stopped his barrage of flaming angry mutant muffins. Pressing a different button, a slightly larger mutant muffin appeared and then dropped down to the deck and bounced/rolled over to the agent. Rolling to a stop at the agent's feet, the muffin split open and a slightly overbaked piece of paper emerged from the depths of the muffin, waiting to be picked up and read.

The paper read, "You may have won this round, little agent, but rest assured, we WILL meet again. Your loving foe, Ellemo."

The Ellecopter then sped off into the distance, returning Ellemo home to his headquarters, to await for the next bit of news.

As soon as the Silly Putty-wielding agent was clobbered by attacking MUPPETZ, Echo ran off as fast as her legs could carry her. Dodging the battle raging on deck, she found her way into the bowls of the ship and headed in the direction of the submarine garage.

But all the while, she was having second thoughts. From the looks of things (and from the frightened squeals of MUPPETZ she was hearing from overhead), it appeared that ANTI was actually winning this fight! Perhaps the best way off this ship was actually with them?

Echo rounded a corner and ran smack into a group of MUPPETZ. Just beyond them, the corridor appeared to be flooded. Echo gasped. "The garage is flooded," she murmurs to herself. "Well that's just brilliant." Then she noticed what had caught the MUPPETZ attention: an ANTI agent, cornered by the water's edge.

An ideas stuck Echo. Perhaps she didn't need a submarine anymore? After all, didn't the ANTI agents come here to rescue their friends?

Stepping into the shadows, she willed her appearance to change, changing from blue fur to normal human skin. Then she continued to change, altering her appearance entirely until...

Echo stepped out of the shadows, looking exactly like the ANTI Agent who was called Thorn.

David smiled. "What, did she run away or something?"

The look on Ace's face told him more than words could. David sat up in his bed. "What's going on? Do you know where she is?"

Return of the Fountain Fellowship

Cale dropped down, after what seemed like hours of climbing he had finally made it to the bottom of the ladder. Other then his lightsaber he was in complete darkness. After all, no one had been down this tunnel in years.

VACs was the next one down, he had a flashlight installed someplace on his body which of course would help allot in the exploration of the tunnels. The rest of the group followed shortly after.

Now let me explain their surrondings. Well what they could see with the limited light they had anyways. They were in a small room, about the size of the average bedroom. In front of them there was two passage ways, one to the left and one to the right.

"Well... Which way do we go?" Shrims asked, searching for anything on his person that could be used as a light.

Scrappy finished hotwiring the speeder in no time, then he fired his booster rockets, landing right in the passenger side seat. Just waiting for Piper to jump inside.

Zak finally pulled to a stop outside of Ditto Town picking up his comlink he told the rest of his Mercenary friends to "Wait up a minute" before hopping out of the speeder and watching behind them as a black speeder sped past "And there goes our stalker" he said to himself.

Flaming muffins were thrown all over the ship. Parts of the deck caught on fire, while some unlucky MUPPETZ went up in a flurry of flame.

A flaming muffin landed near CyKo, and turned to face him.

CyKo doubled back, took out his nerd rope, and whipped the muffin off the side of the ship.

Then the large muffin.

It landed on the deck with an unnaturally large *thump*, then rolled quickly towards CyKo. CyKo tried to react, but the Muffin had already parked itself atop his foot.

"EEAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!"

Then the muffin cracked upon, falling side to side to reveal a sqooshed foot. And a note.

"You may have won this round, little agent, but rest assured, we WILL meet again. Your loving foe, Ellemo."

But CyKo read it something like this:

"You mah haf one this rownd, little aggent, but rest ash-u-red, we will meet again. Your luveeng foh, Ellemo."

Not understanding a word of it, he slapped out his international translator, scanned the page, and let it sound off.

"Ellemo." CyKo said grimly, looking at the fast-disappearing Ellecopter...

Ellemo continued to head back for his headquarters and the minion pressed a button that opened the hangar and came down for a landing. When they arrived, several more minions appeared and a couple of them took the Muppetz couple into the headquarters and found them a room to stay in while they were there.

Looking over at his minion, he said, "Clean the Ellecopter and destroy anything you find that doesn't belong."

"Yes sir!" the minion exclaimed before finishing the post-flight check. He then jumped to the ground and gathered the necessary materials before returning to the chopper to clean it.

"Oh, and if you should find anything *ahem* destructible, bring me the pieces." Ellemo added before leaving the hanger and returning to his office, still displeased over the loss of his ship.

The minion nodded and got to work scrubbing every inch of the Ellecopter since Ellemo was very particular when it came to his chopper and he wanted every little detail to be perfect. Frowning slightly, he came across the small, silver disc on the underside of the chopper and scraped it off and promptly smashed it.

Once the chopper was nice and sparkling again, the minion scooped up the pieces of the tracker and headed down the hall to the office.

"This was found on the belly of the Ellecopter, sir." the minion said, dropping the pieces onto the desk.

"Thanks. You're dismissed." Ellemo said, waving his minion away before he started to carefully examine the now smashed pieces of the tracker.

A.N.T.I. (American Nitwits Think Intelligently): The Rebellion

Looking at his radio transmitter/tracker, he saw the GPS dot (that represented the Ellecopter) moving three quadrants a second. Within fifteen minutes, the dot stopped, over a thousand miles away. CyKo wrote down the coordinates (he was always trained to write down coordinates whenever he got them) and the dot disappeared.

They must've found the tracking device, CyKo thought.

Assuming a head count, CyKo walked the deck. He counted (mostly) everybody. He went into the hull of the ship, looking through every room he could find. He came to an important room, filled with weapons and explosives and all that good stuff (he thought it reminded him of Evil Doctor Joe Weirdsworth's Closet of DOOM).

The weapons included your normal run-of-the-mill ak-47s, bazookas, handguns, everything you could imagine that shot things was there. He found some ammo for his sweet-tart pistol and promptly reloaded.

In the corner of the room, however, was a huge crate. This crate was full of what was labeled 'Osmosis egg grenades- highly explosive'. Taking a closer look, he saw the ugly face of eggs whose shells had been eroded off by the process of osmosis. Inside one of the eggs was what appeared to be a live bird, shivering wildly without the egg to keep him warm. (XD )

Taking one of the eggs (making sure it wasn't the one he saw with the bird in it 0_o) he threw it against the wall, and a huge splat came with it. Followed by that was a miniature explosion that rocked the room to the left. The crate started sliding, the weapons slid as well.

Then he heard a difference noise.

Looking to find the source of the noise, he saw one of the two torpedoes he had shot from the submarine. It hadn't exploded, but was inflamed and looked as if it was about to burst.

"So THAT'S why the ship wasn't completely asploded- if both torpedoes had detonated the ship would surely be destroyed by now."

He carefully grabbed the torpedo (who's propeller was still propelling) and sent it through the hole from which it came (VERY CAREFULLY. DO NOT TRY THAT AT HOME, CYKO IS A TRAINED PROFESSIONAL).

After some forty feet of riding in the water, the torpedo exploded with a loud 'KABOOSHSHSHSH-splash-'.

"To think that that could have happened while I was right next to it..."

A.N.T.I. (American Nitwits Think Intelligently): The Rebellion

Dori, was right. They were almost there- In about 22 minutes and 43 seconds later Whit and Dori arrived at the secret location. Whit was also right- the place was invisible. As the passed the gate to get it(after providing the password of course. It was password- not very imaginative) Before they even arrived in the offical building her Aunt Dori had to provide 1977 other passwords and codes to reach the inside.

Once they were secure...too secure by Whit's measure... in the building Whit followed couple paces behind her aunt to a room. Once they entered she noticed blank VCR's all around the room...Who uses VCRs anymore, these people need to catch up to the 21st century ASAP.

"Now Pink,"
"Whit"
"Okay Whit, I need you to watch a couple videos- just to learn some precedures ok?"

Whit hoped her aunt wouldn't notice how she never made full eye contact with her. The pulling sensation she felt earlier to her aunt was to creepy. She knew she needed to keep control of herself.

"Cant you just tell me the precedures- I dont learn well from videos"
"I'm sorry Whit but you must watch the videos" Dori's voice was oddly gentle and nice and it didnt sound normal.

"Then maybe I can leave...."
"NO!" Dori stopped quickly to shake her head and calm herself with a deep breath. "I'm sorry but you cant leave. Not after it took me so long to finally find you."
"Ya about that- how did you find me anyways?"
"NO QUESTIONS!" Dori's voice went low- robotic like and very loud. She shook her head and gave another breath.
"I'll explain all that later, but please honey watch the video."
The shock made Whit look up to her aunt's eyes for one second and that small pulling sensation was all it took.
"uhh...okay...." Whit slowly walked to the one seat right in the middle of the room...not knowing what to expect.

Summer wasn't sure what to do, but knew it was now or never she helped her teammates. She pulled out her HIS., and started freezing all the MUPPETZ that came near here. "You guys ready for something cool?" She taunted. "Well, have a go for it!"

She had no idea where Winter was, but she assumed he'd be back soon. And she could spot other agents giving all they had to scare off the MUPPETZ, but she couldn't make out who was who. "Bother!" she muttered as another MUPPETZ suddenly lunged at her. Without hesitating, she froze it, and scooted out of the way as it smashed onto the floor. "I guess he's out cold now," she grinned.

Some others must've noticed what had happened, and they started surrounding her. "Well, well, well, I see you're not as dumb as that other guy, but you're still not very bright," she teased, waiting to see who'd strike next. But when she took another step back, she ran into someone. "Sorry, you're in my way-" She began, but stopped when she peered at a very familiar face. "Thorn!" she gleefully cried. "We've found you! We were so worried! And, er, do you have any wepaons on you, because my HIS ran out again..."

By the time Agent Boe reacquired his briefcase and reloaded his SPELR, the battle changed significantly. Firstly, the MUPPETZ were beginning to lose, and they were beginning to realize it. Secondly, a large helicopter (labelled with the word "Ellecopter") was hovering above him, generating a powerful wind that almost blew his hat off, were it not anti-blow-off-able (seriously, if it could be blown off, that would have already happened by now). Thirdly, and perhaps most strangely, several flaming muffins were raining down on the ship loudly proclaiming their great displeasure. Boe kicked a few of the nearest of these, propelling them high into the air and out into the ocean like flying flaming muffins - which, in fact, they were.

Soon, most of the Muppetz on deck were dealt with - either having been thrown overboard, or having jumped overboard themselves, or lying unconscious with little birdies flitting about their heads. Boe looked around for CyKo, but didn't see him anywhere. He quickly pulled out his spyphone. "CyKo, this is Ring... Boe Ring. Do you coffee? Er, copy? I think the situation up top is stabilized, but there may be more Muppetz below. I'm going to investigate presently. Ogre and out. I mean, over and out..."

Return of the Fountain Fellowship

Raven finished climbing down the ladder just as Shrims spoke. She slipped to the front of the group, and sniffed the air from both directions carefully, then made a face.

"Bah, the air of both smells pretty stale to me," Raven said, stepping aside in case someone wanted a look. "Anyone have a map?"

A.N.T.I. (American Nitwits Think Intelligently): The Rebellion

Mal'ady ran over a dozen options in her mind as the group of MUPPETZ backed her further into the water. She could flee down a corridor she didn't know, into water that grew deeper by the minute. She could try and fight her way out of it. She could call off the whole Epic and Terrifying Showdown thing and have a Dorito break. She quite liked the sound of this last idea, until it occurred to her that the MUPPETZ would want to share her Doritos.

At any rate, the water was now up past her knees, her toes were numb, and she was sure she had just spotted an odd-looking muffin floating by. She was not going in any further.

Suddenly, she heard the swooshing noise of a HIS, and a MUPPETZ squealed and fell. Beyond him, Mal'ady glimpsed someone...could it be? It was! She gasped as she recognized Summer, behind the now-chaotic pack of MUPPETZ.

The momentary distraction was all the opening Mal'ady needed. The purple MUPPETZ leader was still staring at Summer when Mal'ady, with an epic kung-fu-sock-footed kick, splashed a wave of water into his face. He sputtered, lost his footing, and faceplanted into the flood, while she fired at two of his cronies.

The MUPPETZ were unable to recover from their surprise, and the skirmish was soon over in the ANTI agents' favor, except for a couple of scattered MUPPETZ here and there.

"Summer!" Mal'ady cried, rushing over to join her fellow agent. Suddenly, her eyes went wide as she saw who was standing next to Summer. "Thorn!"

Mal'ady threw her arms around both agents and hugged them. "We were so worried about you both! Summer, where did you go? And Thorn, I, I thought...well, the Doctor...and rescue..and cheese puffs!"
