Dr. Leafhead: Story of a Mad Scientist, Part 2

What Happened to Leafhead During the Siege

     Leafhead entered the house.  He looked around, feverishly hating anything that been moved or changed.  There were many changes.  Various scanners/computer stations and lab equipment had been installed by the Agents.  These scanners/computers and lab equipment were busily running tests on the scanners/computers and lab equipment that had been invented by Leafhead.  The notion of deciphering his inventions with such basic computers was hilarious.  It was akin to someone trying to understand the molecular structure of an alien brain with a microscope made out of beach glass and a toy viewfinder. 

     The lizard army didn't understand most of what they were seeing so they ignored Leafhead's hatred/laughter concerning the changes to the house.

     Leafhead walked in front, using his hand to silently guide the army.  No agents were around.  So far, so good.  

     A halting motion went up when they neared the front door.

    "Ok, this is it," whispered Leafhead.

    The back of the group couldn't hear anything.  They tried to find out what was going on but were shushed by the lizards who could hear.  

     "Right," whispered Leafhead after a short speech that went unheard by 30% of the army. 

     The army poured out of the front door.  As they ran towards the tent the climax of the Red Cape Man movie was starting.  Lights and loud explosions emanated across the lawn.  It was the perfect moment for distraction.  Everyone was heavily invested in the movie, even Scar-face. 

     Leafhead and the army completely encircled the tent.  All at once they were to rip down the sidings.

   "NOW!" shouted Leafhead.  

   Suddenly the agents were surrounded by a group of terrifying and armed creatures.  Nobody moved.  Everybody panicked. 

    Eventually Scar-face moved.  He was the first.

    "WHAT IN THE---" he shouted, leaping up from his chair.

    "Stay right there!" countered Leafhead.  "These are violent mutants armed with laser guns!"

     Many agents scanned the group with a confused look.  Leafhead moved a little closer to Scar-face.

     "You shouldn't have returned," he said.  "This is my house now."

     "This house answers to no one but me," said Leafhead.  "And even I have a hard time giving orders around here."

    Scar-face said nothing.

    "Here's the deal," said Leafhead.  "We're not going to kill you.  Even though we easily could.  You're going to round up every single person here and leave my property and never return.  This is all over."

    Scar-face again said nothing.  Leafhead thought he saw a small smirk appear on his face but wasn't sure. 

    "What do you say?" asked Leafhead.

    "I guess we can't argue," said Scar-face as he surveyed the army.  

    Just when it looked as if Leafhead had won... a stupid agent decided to lunge at one of the lizards.  He grabbed the laser-gun.  Why he thought he could disarm an entire army was beyond Leafhead.  Maybe there was a chance if the agents had coordinated a simultaneous attack.

    "Shoot him!" shouted Leafhead.  It was clear it was going to be either this man or one of the army.

    A nearby lizard shot the rebel agent.  It should have been an obliterating death-causing sort of laser blast, yet the gun seemed to omit more of a freeze-ray.  The agent was encased in ice.  Frozen but melting.

    What the hell?  thought Leafhead for a second before realizing the laser-guns must have malfunctioned during invention.  The primary component of ice-chips must have caused them to be based around a freezing technology.  Leafhead was reminded of the horrible onscreen version of Batman's Mr. Freeze villain and became offended that he had invented these guns, even though they were a terrific invention.

    "SHOOT THEM ALL!" shouted Leafhead suddenly.  

    The lizard army promptly froze the entire group of agents as the Red Cape Man movie ended.  They were all frozen.  Jehro Hologram, Kharl, Rellio Nevenk, Agent Frost (name took on new meaning).  Everyone.

    "Now what?" asked Lord Ichiban.

    "I'm not sure," replied Leafhead.

    The agents were immobilized.  

     But how can we get rid of them?  thought Leafhead.  I'll figure that out in a minute.

    "You all stay here," said Leafhead.  "Keep them frozen.  If anyone unfreezes, just shoot them again.  I'll be back as soon as possible"

     The lizards understood.  Leafhead ran into the house and to the LabCentre.  He was heading to Mars, which was a good thing because I had been napping way too long and was minutes away from suffocating.
