Location: Red Army, New Base. Norway.

Three months after the 'incident'

Tord walked around the new halls of his base. It was bigger, shinier, and overall exactly what he needed. He gained more soldiers after taking over all of Europe and he had more money than he knew what to do with. Tord roamed around the dungeons. They were all scrubbed clean, not a speck of dust, and they were in very good condition. He'd have fun ruining these.

He quietly walked back to the leaders quarters of the base, and had made sure his room and his secretaries rooms were set up nicely. Sure, Edd and Matt were angry at him, but they didn't have a choice. And it's not like they were being treated like peasants, and they plan to make Tord make the right choices.

Red Army base: 10:00 pm

Tord radioed some of his soldiers who were making there way over from the old base. Tord has Edd and Matt with them, and they were undoubtedly scared. Concerned for what was happening.

It's because they had no idea. At their old base, they'd be asleep by now. They had no clue why Tord had them up so late.

Edd and Matt sat for hours before building up the courage to talk. Matt, who would take the fall for Edd anytime, yelled over to Tord. "What are we doing here?"

'A simple question, a simple answer,' Tord thought to himself. He then noticed it's been hours of silence, and now they ask?

Tord swiftly turns to face them but just smiles softly. "You don't have to be so afraid to ask, friends!" He only wanted their trust. He didn't mean that.

Tord explains to them that they're waiting for some exports from the old base to come in, and one that will 'particularly interest them,' according to Tord.

They talked about things for hours after that, Tord faking it as much as possible. Good thing he got those acting classes before being promoted to Red Leader.

Tord's plan originally was to torture them like he does with Tom, but, even though he hates them, he can't imagine seeing Edd cry again. Matt? He just doesn't want to be annoyed by Matt's stupid screams.

Tom, however, he doesn't care what happens to him. Tom could've ruined all this for him if that harpoon was a foot to the right.

Tord does know what Tom's capable of. The whole monster thing from radiation, yada yada. He doesn't need that loose in his base so he's keeping Tom in extra fine security this time around. Tord built a secret crawlspace, with the help of some of his prized soldiers such as Paul and Pat, and at the end of it is the special cell he has for Tom. Made out of strong material so he can't escape, and a lot of security.

Tord's plans were going swimmingly. The soldiers started to come in planes with the exports, and Tord looked for the one that Paul and Pat marked with a big Red Army symbol on the wings. Unlike the other planes, which have the symbol on the side, this plane is bigger so it can carry much more equipment, and in this case, a much bigger interest to Tord than anything else.

Edd and Matt followed Tord to see what he wanted so badly, but they were shocked when they saw what they thought it was.

A chained, growling, muzzled

Dog...

Edd instantly got defensive. "Tord! Let that poor puppy go!" He started shouting over something Tord didn't understand. He grabbed the pilot of the plane and dragged him out

"What is this?! You think that's some kind of joke?!" Tord started screaming at the pilot quietly to not draw any attention but still enough for the pilot to understand that he's dead.

The pilot slowly raised his hands defensively and he started shaking and stuttering, but he managed to explain it. "C-commanders P-p-Paul and Patryk thought it would be better to t-take a smaller plane s-since they didn't want to d-draw attention to this o-one so as a decoy, s-sir, we got a d-dog.."

Tord thought for a minute then pat the pilot on the back. "Good thinking, soldier! Now where are Paul and Patryk?" Tord asked with a grin on his face. "W-well.." the pilot stuttered. Tord looked suspicious. "Well, what." Tord said scarily.

"C-commander Paul and P-Patryk's plane....went missing on the trip..." the pilot explained, calmly yet defensively. "A-and they had T-Tom with them.."

Location: ?, Norway

Paul and Patryk managed to land the plane softly, but they were very off track. Paul stayed calm while Patryk was extremely scared. "Tord will have our heads for this! He'll be so angry, what are we-" Paul cut Patryk off by holding his hand up to Patryk's face. "Hey, clam down, ok? We'll be fine, the plane just needs more fuel. Go keep an eye on Thomas while I look around here." Patryk nodded and ran back in the plane and as soon as that happened, Paul broke down. He had no clue what they were going to do. Why didn't that just follow Tord's original plan?? That would've stopped this from happening. He sighs and tries to calm himself again. Tord will know to come find them...right? Suddenly, Patryk bursts out of the plane. "Paul! Paul help!" Paul turns around slowly, and looks to Patryk. "what is it now?" Paul asks, trying to stay calm. "Paul....Thomas is gone! I can't find him anywhere in the plane!" Paul drops the cigarette he had to the ground and starts to break down again. "We're so dead this time! There's no helping us now...what's that?" A buzzing noise is heard to the left of the plane, and when Paul and Patryk look over at it, they see the big plane that has a symbol on the wings.

"Red Leader..." Patryk and Paul both whisper at the same time, worrying for their life.
