Industrial Warehouse, Europe

Jake, Trent, Bridgette, Eddie, and Nikki finally arrive in Europe and land their Alpha-Jet away from the warehouse. The Alpha-Jet resembles a Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit. Jake taps a panel on the Jet controls, turning it invisible for 'Stealth Mode', then gets out with the others.


"Here we are..." Nikki said in a skeptical tone, while looking at the outside of the warehouse.



"Okay, if we're gonna do this, we have to be stealth." Bridgette said, "So no texting, snapchatting, or calling... Nikki." Bridgette added assertively while directly looking at Nikki, as Nikki slowly puts her phone behind her back, rolling her eyes.


"Guys, I don't see how we're gonna get in." Eddie said, while looking around the outside of the warehouse. "If this 'abandoned' base was recently claimed, they must have some sort of security." He added.


"Which is exactly why I'm happy you brought the gadget backpack." Jake said as he turns Eddie around, opens up his black backpack, and takes out scanning vision goggles.


"Right. Probably should've thought of that..." Eddie said, looking down in embarrassment.



Jake puts on the goggles and looks around the area, as his vision scans for any entrance related areas. "Well, unoriginally, there's one up on that top floor window. But no worries, I made sure I put some grappling cables inside Eddie's bag." Jake said.



Eddie takes off his backpack, and takes out four grappling cables. "Nice going, Jake. You only brought four." Eddie said while holding up the tangled cables.



"Oh, no problem." Trent chimed in, "You guys go in through the window, and I'll try to be the sneaky superhero I indeed am and rhetorically save the day in theory of our mission." Trent says with a smile.



The four look at Trent confused.

"Trent, you do realize that what you said made absolutely no sense at all, right?" Bridgette says in a confused tone as the others look bewildered.



"Well, it sounded smart so give me some credit on that one." Trent says as he walks off.



Jake, Eddie, Bridgette, and Nikki crouch down in a grass/dirt area and walk toward the warehouse, and look above as they see the window, which is on a fairly high story of the building.



Eddie gives the three their grappling cables, and the four strap it on. Jake throws up the cable, the cable extends as it goes skyward, and then attaches onto the windowsill.



Later, the four have made it inside the warehouse, and slowly and stealthily make their way across the place, then they finally find the area of where the barrels are being held, in some storage kind of room.



"Okay, this is it." Jake says.



"We can see that, Captain Obvious." Nikki replies in a annoyance.



"Here, everyone put on these gloves and grab a canister." Eddie says as he tosses white pairs of gloves to the three.



The four each walk over to a barrel and work on extracting samples of the toxin from the barrels.


Nikki turns her head away while extracting the toxins in disgust, "Hey, Nikki, what'd you do this weekend?" Nikki says in a mocky tone while talking in third person. "Oh, nothing. Just collected smelly chemicals with my friends. It was super fun." She rolled her eyes.


Just as the four finish, Trent runs inside with a bag of Lays chips, "You know, for a shady warehouse, this place has a fantastic vending machine." Trent said as he munched on more chips.


"Trent, shut up or else you'll--" Jake got cut off due to a klaxon blaring, "Set off the security alarm..." He sighed. "Quick! We gotta get outta here!" He shouted.


Bridgette, Nikki, and Eddie quickly try grabbing as many blue canisters as they can, until seven goons run inside, wearing black leather outfits, with black hats that almost covered their whole face, with the agents not even being able to identify the gender.


"Here comes trouble..." Trent says as he grabs more chips out of his bag and throws it in his mouth. Jake snatches Trent's chips and throws it on the ground, and turns to the five goons,

"Look, we don't want any trouble, okay?" Jake says in a commanding tone.


"Wonder what stereotypical superhero line you got that from, Jake." Eddie said in a unamused tone, rolling his eyes.


"Get them!" The lead goon in a black face mask, leather jacket, black jeans, and black combat boots shouted, as the their team swarms at the agents.


Trent close-fists a lanky goon in the stomach and tosses them at a nearby crate, then sees an incoming goon, and rams his shoulder into them, making the goon fly back onto the ground.


Another goon runs at Bridgette, and swings their arm at her, but she ducks and forearm punches the goon in the lower jaw, low side-kicks them in the thigh, and spinning kicks them with the back of her heel in the goon's head as they staggers back against the wall and plop down.


Eddie sees two goons charging right at him, and Eddie quickly runs over to a barrel, kicks his leg off it, and horizontally lands onto the two goons, forcing them down onto the ground.



Nikki gets frightened by the battle, and crouches down, and crawls behind a crate, hiding behind it, and then takes out her phone and scrolls down her Instagram feed.


Jake hand to hand combats against two goons, but one goon gets the upper hand by swiftly kicking him in the back of leg, Jake falls down onto one knee, but retaliates by jabbing his elbow in the goon in front of him, and back-kicking the goon who kicked him in the leg back.



Then he grabs the goon in front of him by the arm and swings him into the other goon, with both of the goons falling down and onto each other.


"Okay, let's see if these idiots have anything to say." Bridgette angrily says as she grabs a goon's hat and yanks it off, revealing it to be a brown hair, green eyed, teenage male.



Jake, Trent, Eddie, and Nikki get confused by the face revealing, then they all take off the hats of the rest of the goons. And all of the goons were teenagers.


"What the heck?" Jake says in an extremely confused tone.

"These are the criminals? They look like sober, well-behaved college kids..." Nikki adds in a ditzy tone.


"Who are you working for? Speak." Bridgette demands, "Speak!" She angrily said again, but the teenage goons didn't reply back. Instead, their eyes glowed red.


Bridgette quickly stands back with the others, "What's with their eyes?" She asks.


"They might be under the control of some sort..." Jake says in theory.


Eddie quickly takes out a gun and blasts out a net, trapping the seven goons, then grabs four canisters and stuffs them in his backpack, "Guys, come on! We need to get out of here!" Eddie shouts.
