The Bad Guys: Episode 2: Mission Unpluckable

**Mission Unpluckable** is the second book in the series. It was released on November 1, 2015 in Australia, and February 28, 2017 in the United States.

## Synopsis

Still yearning to be seen as heroes, Wolf, Shark, Snake, and Piranha set out to rescue ten thousand chickens from a high-tech chicken farm--but one unexpected problem is Mr. Shark gets scared when he sees a new member, Legs - Mr. Snake himself, also known as "The Chicken Swallower."

## Plot

Shortly after the events from the first book, the Bad Guys watch the news(Channel 6 News) and realize that they're still listed as Bad Guys. Fortunately, Mr. Wolf is not about to give up and tells them he has a new plan to get the world to sit up and take notice. Wolf shows his friends a poster of SunnySide Chicken Farm, where lots of chickens (Exactly 10,000) in tiny cages. Mr. Shark, Mr. Piranha and especially Mr. Snake agree. Secretly, Snake is excited to go because he wants to eat the chickens.

Then Wolf points out that "SunnySide Chicken Farm is IMPOSSIBLE to break into". Luckily, he knows someone who does. That's when a tarantula named Legs drops in. The Bad Guys (especially Shark) are a bit concerned about Legs' arrival at first, but are soon amazed when he hacks into Snake's police file and changes "Do not approach" to "Give him a hug". Piranha later tells Legs to put on some clothes, which he does (some shoes and a hat).

Legs tells the Bad Guys he has a plan for them to get into the chicken farm. There are so many alarms, but he can shut(2/3) them down if they plug a USB into the main computer. Plus, they mustn't touch the walls or floors until then, otherwise they'll set off the alarm. Once it's plugged in, they'll go through the air vent to the chicken cages. However, they'll come to the laser beam alarm system that can only be switched off by hand. To make matters worse, the switch is on the other side. The Bad Guys are split up into two teams: Wolf, Snake and Piranha will go into the chicken farm while Shark and Legs guard the rooftops.

That night, Legs gives Wolf, Snake and Piranha some(probably rat) suits that make them really hard to spot and each have a headset that can help them contact with each other. Shark then lowers Wolf, Piranha and Snake (who's still excited about eating the chickens) into the chicken farm. They manage to make it to the computer. Unfortunately security guard is in the room. Piranha hides in a sardine sandwich and plugs the USB and Legs shuts down the alarms. Snake and Wolf walk through the air vent. And by the time they realize there's a large gap 50 metres deep in their way, it's too late. Wolf clings onto both side for dear life and asks Snake for help. But Snake refuses and uses Wolf as a bridge. Wolf falls, but he grabs Snake and uses him to get out(In that progress, Mr. Wolf bops Mr. Snake on the head).

On the rooftops, Shark confesses to Legs that he has arachnophobia(FACT: Arachnophobia makes you afraid of spiders) because he has lots of legs. Then, Tarantula convinces him to get over his fear so they can help save Piranha and the others.

Back in the chicken farm, Wolf and Snake come across a laser alarm system. Snake manages to get through and fifteen minutes later, he turns the laser beams off. When he gets to the chicken cages, that's when Wolf finds out that Snake ate all of the chickens. He makes Snake cough up every last chicken. Wolf was furious at Snake's behavior. Meanwhile, Shark disguises himself as a really big chicken to save Piranha, but shortly after finding Piranha, the guards make the alarms go off. Fortunately, Shark uses his disguise to get the chickens out of the farm.

After leaving the chicken farm, the Bad Guys (now back in their regular outfits) sees that Legs had upgraded Wolf's car while he was away. Before they leave, they hear a squeak. They follow the noise and find a guinea pig named Marmalade. They let him go and walk away. However, it's revealed (to the readers) that Marmalade is a villain who owns the chicken farm and doesn't want to be let go. He vows to get revenge on the Bad Guys (and he probably wants his chickens back).

## Trivia

* This is the first book that's green
* On page 17, Mr. Snake daydreams about eating chickens and has a knife and fork. Ironically, you need hands to hold those and like all snakes, and unfortunately, Mr. Snake doesn't have any hands
* The title of Chapter 7 could be a parody of Rat in a Hat's saying, "Trust me, I'm a rat"
* Mr. Snake covers his excitement to eat chickens by saying "They're so nice to meet" instead of, "They're so nice to eat" (page 50), "I'll go greet those chickens" instead of "I'll go eat those chickens" (page 71) and "I'll get those chickens released" instead of "I'll have a chicken feast" (page 88)
