Protest

Protest is the third episode of season one in The ACS. In this episode, Wario and Chrome begin to protest the ACS, but soon things get violent as the two begin to battle them. The episode marks the beginning of the 2023 Nicktropolis riots.
==Plot==
Demonstrators and protesters begin to become more sadistic, and riots begin to emerge around the Nicktropolis National Park. As a result, Bagel and John are sent to disperse of them. The mere emergence of Bagel and John causes the rioters to disperse out of trepidation. As the two are ready to head back to the HQ, John had noticed one activist that had stayed behind. With self-assurance in his posture, the activist effortlessly picked up a car and chucked it directly at John. Scarcely evading the car, John immediately took out his Uzi and began firing at the activist. Bagel began to follow John but was stopped and knocked back by an explosion directed at him. In front of Bagel then emerged a silver android with a wrist-mounted grenade launcher pointed directly at him.
John began relentlessly firing at the anonymous activist, who was seeking cover behind random cars. However, when John had to reload, the activist emerged and screamed an ultrasonic cry, incapacitating John and destroying a nearby building. Fortunately, some of the debris from the building fell on top of the android. Bagel then took out his cane and threatened to use it on the android if the activist didn't back off. Healing rapidly, John stood back up conceitedly and mimicked the activists' ultrasonic scream, knocking him out unconscious.
The activist and the android then awoke to find themselves incarcerated in one of the reformatory cubicles inside the ACS HQ. They were being closely watched by Nozus, who gave them an intimidating, unsympathetic look. Not fazed by Nozus and generally underestimated by the team, the activist easily broke out of his cubicle and started wrecking the HQ. Nozus then announced a "Code Red" on the intercom, and John, Bagel, Collector, Web, and JJam attempted to apprehend the activist. However, because of a lack of team coordination, the activist, who now revealed his name to be Wario, singlehandedly defeated the ACS. He had unknowingly forgotten about Nozus, who had now emerged with his signature weapon: the Immobilizer. After shooting Wario with it directly, he was yet again knocked out unconscious.
Wario had been transferred to a more suitable reformatory cubicle, Cubicle #966. Anyone inside Cubicle #966 loses their powers and/or abilities temporarily. John and Nozus then entered the cubicle to question Wario, and he revealed much. Wario was a usual activist who opposed the ACS for understandable reasons. After asking Nozus to leave, John and Wario had a long conversation. After the conversation, John gave Wario a tour of the base and then called all the members to the main vestibule. After a brief discussion, Wario was asked to join the team, as he could act as the official liaison between the ACS and the general public. While most members disagreed, Wario was still inducted into the team.
Wario's android ally, Chrome, was freed serenely with a brief explanation from Wario. Chrome, however, had still believed the ACS were evil...
