The Windbreakers were on high alert at the Well Being seminar at Fardel Well Health Spa. With public pushback over Aplot Fardel's new technology, he had received death threats. The Windbreakers, Aplot Fardel's personal security team, were there to make sure nothing went wrong.
Inside the seminar, the Banned were up to their old tricks. They were using the seminar as a cover to infiltrate the Fardel Cartel and find the Ice Machine where their bandmate, Spring Launcher, was frozen. They blended in perfectly with the crowd, dressed in their best Windbreakers jackets, but it wasn't long before the security team noticed them on the surveillance cameras.
In the security office, Aplot Fardel and the Windbreakers watched as the Banned made their way through the seminar. "What are those guys doing here?" Aplot Fardel asked, his voice filled with irritation.
The head of security, Windbreaker number one, looked at the camera feeds. "Looks like they're here for the Well-Being seminar, boss."
"Well, they're not exactly the picture of health," Aplot Fardel muttered under his breath.
As the Banned made their way closer to the Ice Machine, the security team sprang into action. They rushed to intercept the band members, but it was too late. The Banned had already located the Ice Machine and were trying to break it open.
"Stop them!" Aplot shouted, but the security team was no match for the determined rock stars.
In a fit of desperation, Aplot Fardel himself rushed to the scene. "What are you doing to my Ice Machine?" he cried.
Tiger, turned to face him. "We're rescuing our friend, Spring Launcher! He's frozen in there!"
Aplot Fardel's face softened. "I see," he said. "Well, why didn't you just say so? Let me help you."
With Aplot's help, the Banned were able to open the door to the inner chamber of the Ice Machine. They all looked inside. Aplot signaled to the Windbreakers and they pushed the Banned into the machine and slammed closed the door. Aplot turned on the Ice Machine and pushed the red button.
"I'll never forget the day the Banned infiltrated the Fardel Cartel to rescue Spring Launcher from the Ice Machine and failed."
