Dex was on the couch, looking worse for wear, at least worse than usual. His usually white skin on his head was a tint of green, and he was sweating like crazy. If you didn't pay full attention, you'd assume he was a zombie. Gadget was next to him, obviously concerned. "Dex, you sure okay? Everything about you screams sick..." The wolf said. Dex shrugged. "Eh, I'm fiiine." He weakly said. James walked into the room, holding a tablet. "So, I checked, it's no sickness, but I think he ingested poison. A weak type for sure, but it is fatal if we don't find the cure." He spoke. Gadget's worried face grew to dread. He got up from the couch to face James. "Can't he just use his green ability or something?!" he asked, looking a bit hysterical. Dex placed his hand on Gadget's shoulder. "I tried, seems like it only heals physical wounds. Although I guess that explains why I couldn't mentally recover from my favorite food place closing." He tried joking, obviously not even being able to stand properly. He instantly fell back onto the couch. Before the others could figure something out, Gadget heard something hit the window. He looked and noticed a piece of paper, with some writing on it. He opened the window and grabbed the paper, reading what it said. "If you want the cure, face me in these coordinates. The power's true owner will be revealed." It read. Gadget was surprised, he looked at James who grabbed the paper and read it for himself. "You think this is an assassination?" The stick figure asked. The wolf nodded with uncertainty. "Seems like he wants to fight me, but why?" He asked. "Well, looks like we have no choice. You got your gauntlet right?" James questioned. Gadget nodded yes. Suddenly, they heard a knock on the door. The two looked at each other, then back to the door. Gadget slowly opened it, and on the other side was... a guy with a tv for a head??? "Hello!" The guy exclaimed, waving his hand. He had a slightly energetic voice, but also sounded robotic. Gadget was surprised. "Uh, hi? Who are you?" He asked. "Name's Visvio! Pleasure to meet you Gadget!" The tv headed thing said, holding his hand out. Gadget had a look of slight concern. Despite his instincts, the wolf shook the fellow's hand. "Wait, how do you know my name?" Gadget asked, his fear slowly growing. "Oh! I just have extensive knowledge on everyone here, including your sick friend over there." Visvio said. James and Gadget looked at each other, the former using gestures to ask if it was fine to ice the guy. Gadget nodded no to James as he paid his attention back to Visvio. "So, what are you here for?" The wolf asked. "Well, I think I can help you out with your little issue. You got a note to go somewhere, right? I can take you there!" Visvio replied. Gadget and James' eyes widened in pleasant surprise. "Really? You can?" Gadget questioned, the light returning in his eyes as he has a chance to save Dex. "Yes sir! We can go right now if you want." Visvio spoke. Gadget smiled. "Alright, let's do it. You ready James?" Gadget said to the stick figure. James cocked his arm and his pistol. "Yup, on your mark." He replied. The three walked out, ready for their next adventure.
