The Henry Stickmin Collection: My AU part 1

The Second Infiltration

Henry's heart raced as he landed on the cold metal surface of the red airship, feeling the chill seep through his suit. He winced, shook it off, and took a moment to survey his surroundings. The airship was massive, and there were no signs of life outside, except for the faint whirring of engines in the distance.

As he cautiously made his way towards a small hatch that he spotted, he felt his palms sweat with anticipation, knowing that any noise could be his undoing. He opened the hatch carefully, peering inside to make sure that it was safe to enter. The memories of his past flooded his mind, but he quickly shook them off and focused on the task at hand.

The inside of the airship was pitch black, and Henry had to take a moment to let his eyes adjust. He realized that he must have entered into a vent system, as the narrow passageways were just big enough for him to crawl through. The sound of his breathing echoed off the metal walls of the vent system, and he felt a sense of claustrophobia creeping in.

Despite the darkness and the tight space, Henry remained focused and determined to complete his mission. He moved slowly and cautiously, being mindful of any potential obstacles that might be in his way. He could feel his heart pounding in his chest as he inched his way through the vent system in search of his target.

As he crawled through the vents, he heard a familiar voice hiss, "Now that Henry isn't leader, we can continue our plans, Right-Hand Man." It was Reginald, and Henry's face twisted in rage. He had to keep moving forward, despite the leader being right there. He couldn't kill him now, his Right-Hand Man would avenge his death.

"Yeah. Now we can go into space and be unstoppable," the Right-Hand Man agreed. Henry couldn't help but wonder why they still wanted to go to space if it was his plan and they hated him that much.

"Henry had built the fundamentals. We just had to finish them," Reginald said, and Henry felt his blood boil. Reginald was a traitor, and all Henry could think about was getting his revenge. But he knew that any distraction could be fatal, so he pushed forward, gritting his teeth and inching his way through the vent system in search of his target.

Reginald's voice echoed in his head, making it feel like he was reliving a nightmare. Suddenly, he was back at the cliff, his heart pounding with panic. But he forced himself to stay focused, knowing that his mission was too important to allow himself to be distracted.

Henry stumbled out of the vent and hit his head on the table in the center of the cafeteria. The sound of his fall echoed throughout the room, and he winced as he felt a sharp pain in his head. The Toppats, who were seated at the tables, immediately turned their heads to see what had happened.

One of the Toppats gasped in surprise and pointed at Henry. "Is that...Henry?" he asked in disbelief. Henry nodded his head frantically, trying to regain his composure.

Another Toppat jumped out of his seat and approached Henry. "Oh, Henry! We've missed you!" he exclaimed, clapping him on the back in a friendly manner.

Charles' voice crackled in Henry's ear. "Henry, are you okay?" he asked, sounding concerned.

Henry muttered under his breath, trying to keep his voice low. "Yes," he replied, not wanting to draw any attention to himself.

As he scanned the room for possible escape routes, he noticed a small opening in one of the walls. He grinned to himself as he saw a way out. "Yeah guys, I have to go," he said, trying to sound casual. "Don't tell Reginald, alright?" he added, hoping to avoid any further trouble.

The Toppats nodded in agreement, and Henry breathed a sigh of relief as he made his way towards the exit. He knew that he had to move quickly if he wanted to avoid being caught by Reginald and the rest of the Toppats. Henry ran towards the small opening in the wall and burst through on the other side. He was relieved to finally be out of the airship and hoped that he could make it back to his own team safely.
