The Henry Stickmin Collection: My AU part 1

Government Strategies

"About time you woke up Stickmin." A grizzled voice hissed. "You've been causing quite a stir, Henry. But your skills made you worth the catch." Henry was barely conscious, but he was fully aware of the conversation. Henry realized that they were on a helicopter and there was a bright red airship. The Toppats. Henry coughed in pain and suddenly, he noticed the man in front of him. General Hubert Galeforce.

"You know the Toppats Henry?" The General asked.

"No sir," Henry replied.

"Well, they've been causing problems for us and we can't take them down. We know they're guilty, but we can't get proof that they're guilty." The general said, "They've been causing problems for me and my guys. I think you have the skills to help us out." But before Henry could respond, the general shushed him.

"Do I need to remind you that you're wanted, but if you do this, I'm willing to drop any charges against you." Hubert offered. Henry smiled and nodded.

"I'll do it," Henry replied. General Hubert smiled.

"Great. You'll be working with Charles here." General Hubert grinned. Henry nodded along. He needed to get this government mission over with so he could continue with his life.

"Heya General!" Charles exclaimed happily. Henry was shocked to see a young man as a pilot. Usually, they were very old. But on the contrary, Charles was a young man. He seemed radiant and ethereal, but it must have been the sun.

"Charlie, Henry. Henry Charles." General Hubert said. Charles grinned at Henry happily. Henry didn't smile back. He was still a little bit hesitant because he knew that the government might say something, but have different intentions.

"Alright, Henry. How do you want to get sent to the airship?" Charles asked. He pushed some buttons and a hologram appeared in front of Henry. It displayed Henry himself and the airship.

"There are 4 options. I could launch you to the vault, the roof. Launch you into the control room via hamster ball and finally, you could use the grappling hook behind you." Charles said expectantly. But Henry didn't know what to choose. The hologram was giving him and explaining the options, yet he felt doubt.

"C'mon Henry, we don't have all day." General Hubert exclaimed. An idea popped into Henry's head. He knew how to do it.

"Launch me into the airship inside of the giant hamster ball," Henry said confidently. Charles smiled. Nobody had chosen to use the hamster ball on a government mission.

"Brilliant choice Henry!" Charles exclaimed. Henry grinned. In exactly one hour. Henry Stickmin would knock on the Toppat Clan's door.
