InvestiGators (Volume 1)/Character Speech

Character Speech
Chapter 1

*[Scene opens where the narrator, Mango, describes the world being plagued with crime, corruption, and confusion. One organisation works in the shadows to right these wrongs, sending its top agents to solve any mysterious mystery...]*
**Mango**: These are our stories!
**Mango**: INVESTIGATORS ARE ON THE CASE!
**Brash**: Mango! Get offa my case!
**Mango**: Oh, sorry Brash.
**Brash**: Our new V.E.S.T.s are in this is S.U.I.T case, along with our next undercover assignment!
**Mango**: Is it cowboys? I hope it's cowboys! [Digs through the case, gets a mustache] It is cowboys! Hey pardner... I *mustache* you a question. *Howdy* I look?
**Brash**: *COWBOYS* in the *CITY*? That's absurd!
**Mango**: What, you never heard of an urban cowboy? *[Shows a daydream of him riding a horse that's driving a car on the road]*
**Brash**: Look, we're not going undercover as cowboys. We're...*[pulls out a chef's hat]* *bakers?*
**Mango**: Then this mustache must mean...
**Brash**: ...only one thing...
**Mango**: *PIZZA!*
**Brash**: *CUPCAKES!*
**Brash**: What? Mango, how do you you get *pizza* from a mustache?
**Mango**: Oh, I dunno, like *every pizza box EVER?*
**Brash**: Well, then I guess you're not familiar with world-famous cupcake chef *GUSTAVO MUSTACHIO!*
**Mango**: *Fine,* you know what will settle this?
**Brash**: This file that has our assignment on it?
**Mango**: I was gonna say **"thumb war"**, but, read the file I guess.
**Brash**: Let's see... [Presses button on secret file]
*[A blue hologram appears out of it]*
**Mango**: Ooh.. holographical!
**Secret File Voice**: **INVESTIGATORS!** Your assignment is to go undercover at **Batter Down,** the bakery owned by this man: world-famous cupcake chef **Gustavo Mustachio.**
**Brash**: AH-HA! I was right!
**Secret File Voice**: You might also recognize him from, like, from every pizza box ever.
**Mango**: AH-HA! I was **ALSO** right!
**Secret File Voice**: **QUIET**, you two! Chef Gustavo has gone **MISSING!** Mustachio hasn't been seen in **TWO WEEKS!** We suspect foul play. Batter Down was about to unveil his latest culinary masterpiece.
**Brash**: Someone must be after his secret recipes!
**Mango**: Or *maybe* some nefarious villain needs an expert and/or mustache model. (he twirls his mustache) Hey, anything's possible.
**Secret File Voice**: Your mission, Mango and Brash, is to find out **what happened** to Chef Gustavo and make sure his secret recipes are **safe!**
**Brash**: Don't worry, we're on the case!
**Secret File Voice**: This file will self-destruct... eventually.
**Mango**: I'm not getting on the case again. You yelled at me last time.
(*Two weeks earlier...*)
[Scene turns to sewer, with Chef Gustavo chained down.]
**Gustavo**: Ow, my head... What happened? Where am I? One minute I'm waxing my handlebar mustache...
...the next, I'm behind bars! Hello? Anyone there?
[A person behind shadows steps on a water puddle]
**???**: Chef... Gustavo...
**Gustavo**: Wh-Who are you? *WHAT* are you?
**???**: Wakey wakey... ...Time to bakey! HA HA HA HA

Chapter 2

 *[The InvestiGators are seen walking through the city]*
**Mango**: Are we supposed to pretend to be Gustavo with this mustache?
**Brash**: No one who really **knows** him will fall for it. But I've learned S.U.I.T. likes its agents to be prepared for *anything*. Maybe wearing it will trick the culprit into revealing themselves?
**Mango**: Do *YOU* want to wear it? It could be your **"Brash 'stache!"**
**Brash**: That's okay, Mango. I think the look has grown on you.
**Mango**: **GROWN** on me?! Does that mean I have to learn how to **shave?!**
**Brash**: Since we don't know what S.U.I.T. wants us to do with the mustache, maybe it's best if you just take it-
[The Gators reach Batter Down]
**Mango**: Is this it? Why is the mascot a duck?
**Brash**: That's not a duck. It's a goose. Gustavo. **Goose**-tavo.
**Mango**: I don't get it.
[A chef rushes out of the bakery]
**Female Chef**: Gustavo! Chef Gustavo!
**Mango**: What? Where?
[Marie hugs Mango/Gustavo]
**Female Chef**: You've come back to us!
**Mango**: Oh! Uh- It's a-me, Gustavo!
**Female Chef**: I'd recognize that bushy mustache anywhere! The tail is new, though.
**Mango**: Um... I...I had some work done?
**Female Chef**: That explains it! Silly me!
**Brash**: *Whew!*
**Female Chef**: You, on the other hand, are obviously an alligator in a chef outfit.
**Brash**: I'm... from accounting.
**Female Chef**: Huh. I though everyone in accounting was a **SHARK.** [Thought bubble appears with sharks from accounting greeting each other].
**Female Chef**: Oh well! What do I know? I'm Junior Assistant Baker Marie.
**Brash**: I'm Brash.
**Junior Assistant Baker Marie**: Ooh, is that the secret recipe for your latest culinary masterpiece, Gustavo?
**Mango**: Oh! Right. Secret recipe. Of course!
**Junior Assistant Baker Marie**: Let's get it inside before those recipe thieves from *Cupcakes 'R' Us* come to steal it!
[Marie drags Brash into the Batter Down kitchen, with Mango following them]
**Junior Assistant Baker Marie**: Right through here, to the Batter Down kitchen! And now, if you'll get out the recipe, I can assemble the ingredients with the chef's permission.
*[Brash looks at a watch on his hand]*
**Mango**: You heard Junior Assistant Baker Marie. Hand over the recipe!
 [Brash shakes his head]
**Mango**: **FINE!** Chef Gustavo will get the recipe him-a-self! *[He opens the S.U.I.T. case]*
**Secret File Voice**: Self destruct in 3...2...1...
 *[Suitcase explodes on Mango's face]*
**Brash**: *[sarcastic tone]* OH NO, OUR SAFETY MEASURES IN CASE THE "SECRET RECIPE" EVER FELL INTO THE WRONG HANDS MUST HAVE BACKFIRED. WHO COULD'VE POSSIBLY PREDICTED THIS, ONE WONDERS.
**Junior Assistant Baker Marie**: Well, it's a good **THINK** you have backup!
**Mango**: I do?
**Junior Assistant Baker Marie**: In your **BRAIN** silly! Don't you **REMEMBER** the recipe? *[She noogies Mango]*
**Brash**: [Drags Marie out of the Kitchen] Yes! How right you are, Junior Assistant Baker Marie. Now, leave Chef Gustavo alone so the maestro can find his muse. I'll stay here for... umm... legal purposes.
**Mango**: What are you doing? If I'm gonna remember the recipe, I'm gonna need my assistant!
**Brash**: Mango, we're here to find out what happened to the **REAL** Gustavo, remember? You're **NOT**  Gustavo!
**Mango**: Oh, right... TAG! *[Slaps his mustache onto Brash]* **YOU'RE** GUSTAVO! Hee hee! Brash 'stache.
**Brash**: This is serious, Mango. Now let's look for clues.
 [Mango walks away]
**Brash**: I do look pretty cool, though.
**Mango**: I heard that!
*Sometime earlier, in a cool, dark place...*
**Gustavo**: I h-h-have another b-b-batch ready...
**???**: [Tests cookie in his hand and it crumbles] Hmm... ...no....*WEAK!* This is no good!
**Gustavo**: That's just the way cookie crumbles!
**???**: You're no *baker*! You're a *FOOL*!
**Gustavo**: It's not me! It's these ingredients! The flour is not good. And this butter is salted. I need **Un**salted. *UNSalted*!
**???**: Say that word again and it's *you*  who will be assaulted! I want that *super dough*!
**Gustavo**: Please, I can fix! I just need better supplies!
**???**: *FINE*! I'll get you want you want! But don't fail me again, Mustachio!

Chapter 3

*[Scene opens where the Gators are searching for clues in the kitchen]*
**Brash**: Find anything yet, Mango?
**Mango**: Nope. Nothing suspicious so far on this security cam footage. Ya know, I bet Junior Assistant Baker Marie is in on it. It's *always* an inside job!
**Brash**: Maybe. You'd better go interrogate her.
**Mango**: Right! *INTERRO-GATOR MODE ON!* *[Makes robot noises]* *Voop! Voop! Voop!*
**Brash**: That's not a thing! You're just making noises!
**Mango**: Hey, you do things your way, I'll do things my way!
**Brash**: Oy, that Mango can be so frustrating! But I guess he's an okay partner. I just don't want anyone to get hurt again. Is he ready to hear what happened the *last* time I went undercover at a bakery? Or, more important, am I ready to tell him what happened to my *LAST PARTNER*...? I still get chills when I think about... **THE INCIDENT!**. Oh, wait, I'm in the walk-in refrigerator. Oh- wait again- [Sees that the medium oven is missing] What is *this?* Or should I say... what *ISN'T* this?
*Meanwhile, across town, something totally unrelated is going on at the **Science Factory**! Inside, where all the science is made, the* Head Scientist *is about to reveal their latest scientific breakthrough to the world!*
**Head Scientist**: *[On stage]* Okay, okay, settle down. *Spotlight,* please! Fellow scientists! I've gathered you here to witness the unveiling of our latest scientific breakthrough, the *THINGAMABOB*-
**Crowd Scientist**: IS IT BOB'S IDEA?
**Head Scientist**: *BOB'S* idea? No, of course not! It's just *called* the Thingamabob. The breakthrough is-
**Assistant**: *[Whispers]* It's broken!
**Head Scientist**: *BROKEN?*
**Crowd Scientist #1**: WHAT?
**Crowd Scientist #2**: The breakthrough is *BROKEN*?
**Crowd Scientist #3**: Who broke the breakthrough?
**Crowd Scientist #4**: I bet it was Bob!
**Head Scientist**: Stop it! Stop riling up! You're scientists, behave like it!
**Assistant**: *[To the crowd] Soooo, the breakthrough is only* slightly *broken. We'll have it fixed in a jiffy!*
**Crowd Scientist #5**: A "jiffy" is not a precise of measurement!
**Crowd Scientist #6**: Neither is "slightly"!
*[The crowd boos]*
**Head Scientist**: *[To his Assistant]* But we've already got a dozen reporters here for this!
**Cici Boringstories**: Nope! It's just me. Cici Boringstories, *Action News Now*.
**Head Scientist**: What? Only *one* reporter showed up for this?
**Cici Boringstories**: And my cameraman, if he counts.
**Head Scientist**: I think we all know that he does *NOT* count.
**Cameraman**: Hey! I know how to count just as high as any of you *eggheads!*
*[Scientists gasp in shock]*
*[A chicken angrily appears from the crowd]*
**Head Scientist**: You apologize to Doctor Doodledoo *RIGHT. NOW.*
**Cameraman**: Uh...sorry... Dr. Doodledoo, for calling you an egghead.
**Dr. Doodledoo**: S'all right, bruh!
**Head Scientist**: Now, then! While the breakthrough gets unbroken, what say we move the festivities outside? It's a nice day out, and we're all a bit antsy from being *cooped up*- *[Dr. Doodledoo glares at the Head Scientist]* I mean, *STUCK* inside!
*[All the scientists are shown going outside]*
**Scientist #1**: Aw, man! We gotta be outside?
**Scientist #2**: Who has sunscreen?
**Scientist #3**: I only have *SPF 3000!*
**Scientist #4**: *Ack!* There's a giant ball of fire in the sky!
**Security Guard #1**: What's the sitch?
*Walky-talky voice: We got a* Code Sunburn*. Repeat,* Code Sunburn!
**Security Guard #2**: *Code Sunburn?* Aaaaahhh! *[He runs and continues to scream]*
**Cici Boringstories**: Ooh, Code Sunburn! What's that?
**Security Guard #1**: That's when all the scientists come outside. And they *NEVER* come outside.
**Scientist #5**: *The sun! It burns!*
*Security Guard #2 still runs and screams in panic]*
**Security Guard #1**: You there! Stop running like a headless chicken! You know that's insensitive to Dr. Doodledoo!
**Security Guard #2**: Sorry!
**Cici Boringstories, reporting the news**: Wow! This breakthrough is more newsworthy than I thought. We should call in the chopper! You heard it here first, viewers, A Code Sunburn has emptied the Science Factory... ... and a valuable Thingamabob sits unguarded inside, waiting to be revealed!
**Raincoat Stranger**: Hmm... heh, heh, heh...

Chapter 4

 *[Scene opens in the Batter Down bakery, where Action News Now is being played on it's TV]*
**Cici Boringstories**: Stay tuned for more on *Action News Now!*
**Marie**: *[Watching her phone]* BOR-ING.
**Mango**: *[Mango pops out of the kitchen, furiously]* I wanna ask you some questions, *Marie*, If that even *is* your *REAL NAME*!
**Marie**: It's Junior Assistant Baker Marie. And your name was Brash?
**Mango**: Mango- *[Shocked]* *MUSTACHE*!
**Marie**: Oh! The *Mango Mustache*! *[Marie hands over a plate of Mango Mustache pastry to Mango]* That's one of our top-selling fruit-filled croissants. *[Mango eats the Mango Mustache]* Don't you wish that *you* could come up with such amazing recipes, Mister Brash?
**Mango**: *[Talking with a full mouth]* Brath ith hith firht name. Wait- **latht** name?
**Marie**: Your name is "Brash Brash"?
**Mango**: I'm Mango. **NO, WAIT!** **HE'S** Mango. **NO!** He's **Gustavo!** Because he has the **MUSTACHE!** **I'M** Brash! Now, then! When I, Brash-NO, Gustavo Brashtachio- NO, **GUSTAVO MUSTACHIO** went missing for two weeks, did you, Marie, think to alert anyone?
**Marie**: Alert? Oh, the **Red Alert!** That's our Red velvet cupcake topped with a jalapeño pepper. It's like a five-alarm fire in your mouth! *[Trying to hand it over to Mango]* Have a bite!
**Mango**: No, thanks, I'm full!
**Marie**: Aw, just one bite.
**Mango**: That's okay.
**Marie**: One. Little. Bite.
**Mango**: Uh...
*[Suddenly, the door bell rings, and Mango accidentally splats the cupcake onto Marie's face]*
**Mango**: A customer! Saved by the bell!
*[The same raincoat stranger from the end of Chapter 3 walks towards the counter]*
*[Marie wipes the cupcake frosting off her face]*
**Mango**: Welcome to Batter...Down? *[Whispers]* What does that even mean?
**Raincoat Stranger**: I have a special order for a birthday cake.
**Marie**: Oh, a **special** order. Chef Gustavo will handle this **personally.**.
**Mango**: Gustavo, that's me- **I MEAN**- that's the other guy! *[Mango looks at the cake order]* Wow! This cake you want is **HUGE!** You could fit a dinosaur in this thing.
**Raincoat Stranger**: Yes. And make it snappy.
**Mango**: We're alligators. **SNAPPY** is what we do best. *[Marie gets suspicious]* **I MEAN**- I'll get this to Chef Gustavo right away! *[Mango runs into the kitchen] **BRASH!** Junior Assistant Baker Marie is onto us!*
**Brash**: What? How? Did she say something about Gustavo's disappearance?
**Mango**: Well... no. She's either a criminal mastermind or completely clueless. But **whichever** she is, we've got to bake this special order or our cover is blown! *[Mango shows the order to Brash]*
**Brash**: Hmm.. that might be tough. This cake requires a **BIG** oven, and I just discovered a **BIG** clue. The **BIG OVEN** is missing!
**Mango**: Oh no!
**Brash**: Right? Clearly **its** disappearance must have something to do with **Gustavo's** disappearance.
**Mango**: No, I mean, how are we gonna bake this cake now?!
**Brash**: Oh, well, luckily we can bake it in this *EVEN BIGGER OVEN!* *[Walks over to the Bakemeister 3000]*
**Mango**: Doesn't that mean **THAT'S** the *big* oven and the one that's missing is the *medium* oven?
**Brash**: **Hey,** which one of us is Chef Gustavo?
**Mango**: *[Takes the mustache off Brash]* **YOINK!** I AM!
**Brash**: **Bah!** We don't have time for an identity crisis! Let's just bake this cake, then get back to the investigation!
**Mango**: Activate montage mode! Voop voop!
**Brash**: That's not a thing!
*[A Montage Plays]* InvestiGators (Volume 1)/Montages#Montage 1: Baking a Cake
**Mango**: Hey, that wasn't too hard. Seems like you've done some baking before, Brash!
**Brash**: What! NO! I've never baked anything! *Ahem*, Now, get back out there, **Gustavo**, and keep an eye open for anything suspicious!
**Mango**: *[Drags the giant cake outside the kitchen]* I will! Good thing there's nothing suspicious about baking a giant cake for a large, mysterious figure wearing a raincoat on a sunny day!
*[Mango gives the giant cake to the customer]*
**Mango**: Here you go, sir! One giant cake birthday cake, made fresh by **ME**, Chef Gustavo Mustachio!
**Raincoat Stranger**: Thank you.
**Marie**: And here's your receipt.
*[The customer walks out of the bakery, and a baseball player comes into the bakery]*
**Baseball Player**: Hey, do you sell mitts here?
**Mango**: Oven mitts?
**Marie**: *SIGH*, This is Batter **Down**. You want Batter **UP**, the sporting goods store down the street.
**Baseball Player**: Thanks! *[He walks out of the bakery]*
*[Mango Blinks]*
**Mango**: I GET IT! **BATTER DOWN!** **BATTER,** like Cake Batter, and **DOWN**, like goose-down! **GOOSE**-tavo! Now it all makes sense!
**Marie**: Scents? Oh, *scents!* The **Scented Strudel!** It smells like Strawberry, but it *TASTES* like-
**Mango**: Uh... GUSTAVO'S GONNA GO BACK IN THE KITCHEN AND REMEMBER HIS SECRET RECIPE!
*[Mango zips inside the kitchen]*
*[Marie types intensely on her phone]*

Chapter 5

*[The panel is shown outside the Science Factory, with Cici interviewing Scientist Bob.]*
**Cici Boringstories**: Cici Boringstories here, reporting outside the scientist factory. With me is *SCIENTIST BOB.* Tell us, Bob, what's this scientific breakthrough you're cooking up inside?
**Bob**: *[Acting Cool]* *Ha ha*! I won't tell you what *I'M* cookin', Susan, but I *will* tell you it'll blow this breakthrough- *[His phone makes beeping sounds* 'Scuse me... *[Checks his phone's messages]*
*[Grey text: U done yet?]*
*[Bob: Need more time.]*
*[Green text: They're on 2 me :{ ]*
**Bob**: Sorry Sophie, Scientist Bob's gotta motor!
**Cici Boringstories**: Well, **that** wasn't informative **at all**. Soooooo let's check with the Action News Now helicopter in the sky!
*Way up high...*
*[A helicopter is shown in the sky]*
**Doctor Copter**: Yes Cici, I am indeed in the sky, and let me tell you... **NOTHING** is more exciting than watching crowd gather for a press conference! It looks so busy down there! I'd be surprised if nothing snuck past security... and well, Cici, that certainly **would** be newsworthy.
*[The same customer who bought the giant cake from Batter Down before is shown at the security gate]*
**Security Guard #1**: Hold up, hold up. We're in the middle of a Code Sunburn. No one gets through. What's this? *[asking about the cake]*
**Stranger**: Special delivery. Birthday cake for the... Scientist.
**Security Guard #1**: Birthday cake? Okay... who's this thing for?
**Stranger**: For the Thingama- *I MEAN*- it's for...uh... *Bob*?
**Security Guard #1**: *[Looks through his Scientist List]* Bob, Bob, Bob... Ah, here he is. Scientist Bob, the new guy. You say, it's his birthday? Guess I gotta go get him a card now. ANYWAY, what you'll need to do is... *[Turns around to see the stranger has disappeared]* Huh? Where'd that delivery guy go? Well, better not leave this cake out in the hot sun. *[Takes the cake inside the Science Factory, whistling a tune, and gets to a group of scientists.]* Any of you scientists Bob?
**Scientist #1**: Ugh, *NO*, I'm not Bob!
**Scientist #2**: Bob's the *WOOOOORST!*
**Scientist #3**: I bet Bob's not even a real scientist!
**Security Guard**: *[Gets inside the Science Factory]* Gee, sounds like this Bob's a popular fella! Never seen this place so empty! *[Sees Bob walking through, being on the phone]* Hey are you-
**Bob**: *[Furiously]* CAN'T YOU SEE I'M ON THE PHONE?!
**Security Guard**: *SHEESH!* Enjoy the party or whatever!
*[Bob continues to blabber on his phone]*
*[The Cake bumps onto the Head Scientist's leg]*
**Head Scientist**: *[Looks back to see the cake]* Huh? What's this?
**Security Guard**: Birthday cake for Bob.
**Head Scientist**: It's Bob's birthday? Figures he wouldn't tell anyone! He's *always* bringing in baked goods that he never shares. Look at the size of that thing! I bet he's trying to steal the spotlight from today's scientific breakthrough!
**Security Guard**: So, what do you want me to do with it?
**Head Scientist**: Eh, leave it here. I'll deal with it later.
*[The Security Guard walks away]*
**Head Scientist**: *[Clicks on remote button]* And... *there!* All working again! *[The Thingamabob is shown]* Soon the world will know the true nature of this, our *THINGAMABOB*! Wait- I'm not calling it that anymore. I don't wanna give *Bob* the satisfaction.
**HS' Assistant**: How about... THINGAMA*STEVE*?
**Head Scientist**: Ooh, that works! Steve's an okay guy. Now, run along outside and tell everyone recess is over.
**HS' Assistant**: Aye, aye! *[Walks away]*
*[The Head Scientist stares at the cake and takes one lick of it]*
**Head Scientist**: Mmmmm...
*Outside...*
**Scientist #6**: *[Sweating]* Man, if I'm out in the sun much longer, I'm gonna cook!
**Dr. Doodledoo**: *[Sweating]* Tell me about it bruh!**HS' Assistant**: *[Announcing]* Good news everyone! The breakthrough is *fixed*through! Now please file back inside the auditorium in an orderly fashion. Remember your travel buddy!
*[Scientists hold each other's hands]*
**Every Scientist**: Two by two, hands of blue! Two by two, hands of blue!
**Doctor Copter**: I don't know how often these scientists come outside, but atleast they're getting some *Vitamin D*! Oh! It looks like they're heading back inside. Over to you, Cici!
**Cici**: That's right! We can finally learn what this fuss is over this scientific breakthrough-
*[A big explosion happens inside the science factory, with scientists being thrown away. A hole is then seen in the front of the factory, with **Houdino** appearing with a bag in his hand]*

Chapter 6

*[Scene opens in the Batter Down bakery, where Action News Now is being played on it's TV]*
**Doctor Copter**: This is the *Action News Now* helicopter in the sky! An **EXPLOSION** has just *ROCKED* the Science Factory down on Electric Avenue!
**Marie**: *AAAH!*
*[Mango and Brash burst out of the kitchen in action poses, both wearing different parts of the fake mustache]*
**Brash**: WHAT IS IT, MARIE?
**Mango**: IS IT DANGER?
**Marie**: There's been an explosion at- Wait a minute...
**Marie**: ...There's something different about you two...
*[The Gators begin to panic]*
**Mango**: Uh...
*[They're briefly interrupted by an alert from the General Inspector]*
**Mango**: Ooh, an alert!
**General Inspector**: **Investigators!** Report to S.U.I.T Headquarters immediately!
**Brash**: You know what that means...
**Mango**: **TO THE BATHROOM!**
*[The Gators make a rush to the bathroom]*
**Marie**: *[Confused]* When ya gotta go, ya gotta go.
*[Panel cuts to Mango and Brash in the bathroom, tossing away their chef disguises]*
*[Mango proceeds to close and lock the bathroom stall door, leaving Brash outside]*
*[Brash stands outside looking frustrated until a toilet flushing sound is heard]*
**Brash**: Mango, what did you do?
**Mango**: What? I had a lot of fiber today.
**Brash**: Mango, you *know* the quickest way to S.U.I.T HQ is to flush ourselves down the sewer!
**Mango**: Oh, riiiiiiiight... *[Walks over to the bathroom sink]*
**Brash**: *[Upset]* **NOW** WHAT ARE YOU DOING??
**Mango**: I'M WASHING MY HANDS! *SHEESH,* how were you raised??
*[Brash just face palms]* Are you *ready* now?
**Mango**: Yes. *[Looks in the bathroom stall]* Um... I'm just gonna flush a couple times so there's, like, a buffer between our business and...my "*business.*" *[He does a few air quotes]*
**Brash**: *[Disgusted]* Ew.
*[Two flushing sounds are heard]*
**Mango**: Fresh bowl!
*[He proceeds to flush himself down, with Brash following after]*
*[A Montage Plays]* [InvestiGators (Volume 1)/Montages#Montage 2: Sliding to HQ]
 *[Scene opens to Mango and Brash coming out of a bathroom in S.U.I.T HQ]*
**Brash**: InvestiGators, reporting for duty!
**Mango**: Heh heh... "Doody."
*[Scene pans out to a wide shot of S.U.I.T HQ hallway]*
**Mango**: Uh... Where are we?
**Brash**: Good question. S.U.I.T HQ is *huge.* Every time I come here I come out of a different bathroom!
**Brash**: It's like being lost at a mall.
**Mango**: Oh, wait! *[He presses a button on his V.E.S.T and pulls out a map]*
**Brash**: A map! Genius!
*[The two sprint for a while before slowing down a little]*
**Mango**: Waaaaaaait a minute-
**Mango**: As we walk, this glowing "you are here" blob just moves with us!
**Brash**: No matter where we go, *HERE* we are!
*[C-ORB appears from behind]*
**C-ORB**: There you are!
 **Mango & Brash**: **AAH!**
**Brash**: A floating eyeball!
**C-ORB**: Greetings, InvestiGators. I am **C-ORB.** **C**omputerized **O**cular **R**emote **B**utler.
**C-ORB**: I may not have a nose, but i take it you arrived via your usual mode of transport?
*[Both Gators are shown with brown stink lines around them]*
**Mango**: A-yup.
**C-ORB**: Then I will escort you to...*[turns red]* **DECONTAMINATION!**
*[People in hazmat suits proceed to take the gators to get washed]*
**Mango**: Oh, I already washed my hands-
*[A Montage Plays]* [InvestiGators (Volume 1)/Montages#Montage 3: Getting Clean]
**C-ORB**: Towel?
**Mango**: Thanks, C-ORB!
*[Brash snatches the towel from C-ORB's hands and looks at him with an annoyed expression]*
**C-ORB**: This way, Gators, to the General Inspector's office.
*[C-ORB and the Gators walk through a hallway full of office doors]*
**Mango**: Ooh, I don't think I've been to the General Inspector's office yet! *[he reaches out to open a door with the words "Inspector General" on it]*
**C-ORB**: No. That's the Inspector General's office. We're heading to the General Inspector.
**Mango**: Ah, I get it. Inspector Vague. Inspector General. Next should be Inspector Specifi-
*[They stop by another door]*
**Mango**: What? Inspector *Pacific?*
**C-ORB**: Inspector Pacific handles West Coast operations.
*[Panel shifts and they continue to walk pass more office doors]*
**Mango**: Are we there yet?
**Brash**: Ah, here we are-
**C-ORB**: *[alarmed]* **NO!** Don't go in there! Not unless you want to catch an infectious disease!
**Brash**: Oh! I see. General *INFECTOR.* That's an easy and possibly **deadly** mistake to make.
**Mango**: Why even **HAVE** such a room?!
**C-ORB**: Keep up, Gators!
*[Time passes by and they finally reach the Inspector General's office]*
**C-ORB**: This is it, Gators.
**Brash**: *[Tired]* Finally!
**Mango**: Thanks, C-ORB! *[Hands him his towel and walks into the office]*
**Brash**: *[Does the same thing until he's abruptly stopped by C-ORB]*
**C-ORB**: *[Turns red]* *Ahem*
**Brash**: Oh! Your tip. *[Hands C-ORB a few dollar bills]*
**C-ORB**: We appreciate your generosity, sir.
**Brash**: Yeah, yeah. *[Walks into the office]*
*[Scene opens to show the gators with the Inspector General in his office]*
**General Inspector**: InvestiGators! Thanks for coming so promptly. I know you're in the middle of the Gustavo Mustachio case. Approximately *eighteen pages* ago, an explosion rocked the Science Factory down on Electric Avenue! *[Looking at his watch]* **GOOD GOLLY,** Eighteen pages! Has it really been that long? Anyway! You're our agents nearest that location... Or, you *were,* before I ordered you to come here... But you will be *AGAIN,* once you get back there! There's little to go on, but I have a lunch this explosion and your current investigation may be connected. I'm sorry, *HUNCH. I said "lunch" when I meant "hunch." I'm feeling a bit peckish. But enough about me. Mango, Brash-it's time it SUIT up and not let S.U.I.T down!* [He salutes to the Gators]
**C-ORB**: This way, InvestiGators. Time to get fitted for your new V.E.S.T.s!
*[They walk out of the General Inspector's office and continue walking past office doors, Mango glances at one of the doors]*
**Mango**: Hey, why does Inspector *VAGUE* get two offices?
**C-ORB**: That's Inspector *VOGUE.* They handle striking poses and all matter of dance.
**Brash**: *[rolls his eyes]* Okay, *VAGUE,* *VOGUE*-that's a bit of a stretch.
**C-ORB**: Indeed! It takes a *lot* of stretching to be limber enough for all those fancy dance moves. *[He does a few hand dancing motions]*
**C-ORB**: Keep up, Gators!
*[They walk pass the food court and Mango walks in]*
**C-ORB**: Here we are. The A.R.M.S. Division.
*[Panel cuts showing Brash and C-ORB looking outside of A.R.M.S. The big sign says* Apparel Research and Manufacturing
**Mango**: *[Walks back to the group]* What's the *S* for?
*[Agent Six walks up to greet them]*
**Agent Six:** The *S* is for *Six.* Hello! I'm Agent Six.
*[Sven Septapus walks by]*
**Sven**: **NO!** No, no. *NOT* six. The *S* is for *Sven!* I am Sven Septapus, lead designer of A.R.M.S.
**Sven**: I also have the *MOST* arms. Look at them. Look at all these arms!
**Brash**: *[Goes up to greet them]* Agent Six. Agent Sven.
**Mango**: Oh! I have a *JOKE!*
**Brash**: Oh no.
**Mango**: WHY WAS SIX AFRAID OF SVEN?
**Sven**: Because-
**Mango**: BECAUSE SVEN EIGHT NINE!
**Sven**: *[Looking unamused and clapping]* Yes, yes, yes. Much funny. We all have the humor.
**Sven**: Now let's get you Gators into new V.E.S.T.s. *[He proceeds to snap his hands/tentacles and robotic hands bring out the V.E.S.T.s]* These are our latest models. Wool tweed woven in a herringbone twill. All of S.U.I.T.'s latest spy technology...
 ...nanoscopically integrated into the thousand-thread-count weave...
**Sven**: ...all accessible at the touch of a button! *[He taps on a V.E.S.T button and various gadgets come out]*
**Mango & Brash**: Ooooh...
**Mango**: This is great!
**Sven**: You liked the demonstration?
**Mango**: Oh, sure, but I meant this PB & PB sandwich I got at the food court. *[He points to a sandwich he's been eating]*
**Brash**: Peanut butter and peanut butter?
**Mango**: No, peanut butter and pickle and bacon.
**Sven**: *[frustrated]* What about the V.E.S.T.s?!
**Mango**: *[nervously gulps his sandwich]* Does it come in *blue?* Blue would really bring out the color in my eyes.
**Brash**: Mango, your eyes are just two little black dots like mine!
**Six**: Mine too. I blame the artist for being *LAZY.*
*[A giant pencil appears out of frame and erases Six's face]*
**Six**: MMMPH!
'*Brash**:*** **AAH!**
**Mango**: *[nervously takes the V.E.S.T as the pencil eraser is facing him]* Uh, I'm good with a brown V.E.S.T.!
**Brash**: *[putting on his V.E.S.T]* Hurry up! It's been another eight pages since the explosion! *[He looks at a watch that appears on his hand]*
*[The two rush out of the A.R.M.S. Division]*
**Mango**: GO, GO, GATORS!
**Brash**: Wait! *[goes back to the group at A.R.M.S.]* Um... Where's the restroom on this level?
**Mango**: *[Pops out of the corner]* I saw it! It's next to the food court! Okay, byeeeeeee!

Chapter 7

*Just then, about twenty-six pages ago...*
**Doctor Copter**: An **EXPLOSION** has just *ROCKED* the Science Factory down on Electric Avenue! Did an experiment go wrong? It's hard to see what's happening through all this smoke...
**Orange Haired Scientist**: *Cough! Cough!* Is everyone all right?
*[He notices a roast chicken on the ground]*
**Orange Haired Scientist**: Dr Doodledoo! *NOOOOOOO!!*
**Dr Doodledoo**: I'm fine. How are you?
*[Another scientist walks through]*
**Scientist #8**: Ooh, you found my lunch!
**Orange Haired Scientist**: Your lunch is an entire roast chicken?
**Scientist #7**: Hey, doing science makes me hungry!
*[Dr Doodledoo glares at him]*
**Scientist #7**: *[Eating a chicken wing]* Uh... So, this is awkward.
**Doctor Copter**: Hopefully, the injuries are minimal, since most of the scientists were outside. I can see ambulance lights through the smoke now...
*[An ambulance arrives to the Science Factory: WOO WOO WOO]*
**Scientist #9**: Over here!
**Female Paramedic**: This *Head Scientist* has a *HEAD INJURY!* This man needs a *brain surgeon! STAT!*
**Doctor Copter**: Oh, the humanity! So...newsworthy... But someone needs... medical attention... *[Doctor Copter slowly transforms back to brain surgeon Dr Jake Hardbones]* ...must...get to... ...hospital! *AAARGH!* *pant pant pant* Whew! Clearly this situation calls for me to be morr of a *DOCTOR* and less of a *COPTER!* But now that I've turned back into skilled brain surgeon *Dr. Jake Hardbones...* ...I'll have to walk to the hospital! Ugh! Being *DOCTOR COPTER* is both a blessing *and* a curse!
*[The Gators are seen sprinting out of a Farms & Royal Bookstore]*
**Bookstore Employee**: Hey! The bathroom is for customers only!
*[The Gators reach the Science Factory]*
**Mango**: Wow! What a catastrophe!
**Security Guard**: *HALT!* There's been a *science accident!*
**Brash**: We're InvestiGators.
**Security Guard**: Badges?
**Mango**: *[Annoyed]* We're not badgers, we're alligators!
*[Brash stops Mango, presses a button on his V.E.S.T that pulls out his badge]*
**Security Guard**: *[Inspects the badge]* Okay, checks out.
**Brash**: Did you notice anything unusual before the explosion?
**Security Guard**: There's *always* something unusual going on at this place, but let me think...We were in the middle of a *Code Sunburn,* so everyone was outside. A guy delivered a giant birthday cake for Bob, which I wheeled inside. Then I ran into one angry scientist, who was on his phone- it said something about a *jamboree* on the screen. Don't think I've seen him since, but it can be hard to tell these scientists apart. Well, except for the chicken. Oh, and the only *serious* injury seemed to be the Head Scientist, who was just taken away in an ambulance.
**Brash**: Thanks, security dude. Keep up the good work. *[He gives him a thumbs up]*
**Mango**: *"Jamboree"* sounds like a code word. Maybe the *go* signal to set off the explosion?
**Brash**: Possibly...
...and there's something familiar about a giant birthday cake...
**Mango**: Mm-hmm.
**Brash**: Mango, you see what clues you can dig up inside. I'll talk to everyone out there.
**Mango**: Got it!
*[The Gators split up, Mango goes inside the Science Factory, while Brash walks up to the scientists sitting outside beside a campfire roasting marshmallows]*
**Brash**: *SCIENTISTS!* My name is Brash. I'm an InvestiGator from S.U.I.T. Is everyone all right? Anyone unaccounted for?
**Scientist #10**: We're all fine, just a few scrapes and bruises. But the Head Scientist was inside during the blast!
**Scientist #11**: Oh, and Bob is missing. But nobody likes *him.*
**Brash**: Bob is a scientist?
**Scientist #10**: *Feh!* Not a *GOOD* one!
**Scientist #11**: He's only been here, like, a week, and already no one can tolerate him.
**Brash**: Mm-hmm. Does anyone know what caused the explosion?
**Scientist #10**: No. We have experiments blow up here all the time, but nothing like this! It was all, **KABLOOEY!!**
**Brash**: Could it have been this scientific breakthrough that was going to be revealed?
**HS' Assistant**: NO WAY! If it was, I'd have found pieces of it everywhere. But it's *MISSING!* Someone broke *in,* then broke *out* with our break*through!*
**Brash**: So you know what the breakthrough was?
**HS' Assistant**: Yes. I worked on it with the Head Scientist. But I'm not supposed to tell anyone what it does before the big announcement!
**Brash**: *[Pulls the assistant's lab coat]* Dang it, man, *LIVES* could depend on this!
**HS' Assistant**: Okay, okay! It's called... THE THINGAMABOB.
**Brash**: As in *Scientist Bob?*
**HS' Assistant**: No, wait! We changed it... It's now called... THE *THINGAMASTEVE.* It's a laser beam that digitizes actual money. It erases the physical cash from existence, but puts its value inside a computer! It even works through walls! Metal, brick, wood, straw- whatever! Juat point it wherever there's money and it's *yours!* It basically transfers money from the real world into any bank account you want- preferably a high-interest savings account.
**Brash**: Why is it called the THINGAMASTEVE? Why not something like...the REVERSE ATM? Or...the DEPOSTITRON? Or CASH GRAB?
**HS' Assistant**: Hey, we're *scientists,* not *writers.*
**Brash**: Well, I can see why you'd want to keep such a powerful tool safe. Pretty odd that you were going to **ANNOUNCE IT TO THE WORLD ON THE NEWS!** AAAANYWAY... You said you haven't seen Bob since the explosion. Could *he* have taken the device? Did anyone have any of his birthday cake?
*[Scientist #11 shakes his head]*
**Scientist #10**: What? No one told *ME* there was cake!
**Cici (to Brash)**: Hi there! Cici Boringstories, *Action News Now.* I interviewed Scientist Bob, but that tape got ruined in the explosion. However, our news chopper in the sky should have caught something on camera- *[Looks up]* Huh? Where'd it fly off to?
*[They both look up, with Cici scratching her head]*
**Brash**: *[Confused]* Uh... Thanks, Cici. I'll get to the chopper.
*Inside the factory...*
**Mango**: *[Walking through the darkness, with a flashlight on]* Digging for clues... Digging for clues... Oh! I know what would help here... *[Presses a button on his V.E.S.T. and pulls out a shovel]* Digging for clues...
*[he continues to walk around for a while and stumbles upon a room]*
What's this? *GASP!* THE *MEDIUM* OVEN! *[Scratches his head and shrugs, then proceeds to try and dig a hole into the ground]* Digging for clues... *[Steps on pink frosting]* **?** Hmm... *[Runs forwards and finds the giant birthday cake, with a giant hole in it, he touches it and takes a lick]* **GASP AGAIN!**
*Back outside...*
**Brash**: How about the word "jamboree"? That mean anything to anyone?
**Scientist #11**: It means *"party,"* right?
**Dr Doodledoo**: Yo, somebody say *"party"*?
**Mango**: *[Running out of the Science Factory]* **BRASH! BRASH! Whew!** *huff huff huff* Let me...catch my...breath... *[Chugs out of a water bottle]* AAAAAH, refreshing! *[Wipes his sweat with a towel]*
**Brash**: *[Upset]* **WELL?!**
**Mango**: Bob's birthday cake was right by the explosion! And it was the same cake that *WE* made! somwthing- or *someone-* was hidden inside it!
**Brash**: I *KNEW* there was something weird about those cake instructions!
**Mango**: And not only that- I found the *medium* oven that's missing from the bakery! It was part of something called PROJECT 808.
**Brash**: Whose project is 808? Is it *yours,* you big chicken?
**Dr Doodledoo**: Nah, bruh. I try to stay away from ovens I could fit in.
**Scientist #11**: *[Shrugs]* Not my project, either.
**Brash**: Then do any of you recgonise *THIS MAN?* *[He shows a hologram of Gustavo from his V.E.S.T. to the scientists]* It looks like his disappearance may have some connection to what's happened here.
**Dr Doodledoo**: I've seen him, bruh! he's the guy from the pizza boxes, yo!
**Scientist #11**: Ooh, are we having a pizza party?
**Scientist #10**: I missed out on cake- I am *NOT* missing out on pizza!
**Brash**: Hmm... *808. BOB.* Bob's *cake.* The *big oven.*
**Mango**: You mean medium oven.
**Brash**: It's all beginning to make sense!
**Mango**: *[Confused]* Really?
**Brash**: The Head Scientist was inside the factory with Bob's cake. And no one's seen Bob since the explosion.
**Mango**: What if Bob used the cake to sneak in an accomplice? If so... the Head Scientist may have seen them!xAnd wherever *that* person went, the cake crumbs should lead to them.
**Brash**: Mango, I'm going to talk to the Head Scientist at the hospital. You follow the trail of cake crumbs.
**Mango**: *[Presses his V.E.S.T. button which pulls out a chip tracker]* It's a good thing we baked chocolate microchips into the cake. I can track them with my V.E.S.T.!
*[Both Gators run out of the Science Factory in separate direcions]*
*Down below...*
*[Scene cuts to Gustavo still trapped in the sewers baking cookies]*
**Crackerdile**: You have everything you need to rebake me, This next batch better be *perfect.* I long to be *WHOLE* again.
**Gustavo**: *[Nervous]* Y-yes! That's why I used *WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR* this time.
**Crackerdile**: *[Testing the cookie in his hands]* Hmm... spongy... durable... ...the crack is nice and moist... *[Breaks the cookie]* Yes... That's a *lovely bake.* Your **SUPER DOUGH** is ready, Chef Mustachio. PREPARE THE MOLD!
*[Crackerdile reveals himself from the shadows]* This super dough will make me *harder... better... faster...* **STRONGER!!** At last I will reveal myself to the Gators. At last i will have *REVENGE!*

Chapter 8

*Elsewhere...*
*[Scene opens to show Brash running off to the hospital]*
**Female Paramedic**: *[Talking to their coworker]* All I'm saying is, *I* knew the way to the hospital-
**Brash**: *[Running past]* Did a head scientist with a head injury come through here?
*[Both paramedics point to their left]*
**Brash**: Thanks!
**Male Paramedic**: Hey, how could I know the GPS was gonna take us all over town?
*[The other paramedic rolls her eyes]*
**Brash**: *[Slams open the emergency room door]* I hope I'm not too late! *[He looks over to see the Head Scientist lying down on a hospital bed, Brash looks sad/worried]*
**Jake**: *HEY!* You can't be in here! This man is being prepared for *BRAIN SURGERY!*
**Head Scientist**: *[In pain]* *moan...*
**Brash**: Doctor-
**Jake**: Yes, I am Dr. Jake Hardbones, brain surgeon.
**Brash**: I need to INTERROGATOR this man *immediately!* He's a key witness to multiple crimes! Breaking and entering, impersonating a cake, theft, possibly kidnapping... ...and who knows, maybe even *MURDER!*
**Jake**: *[Subtle twitching]* That sounds... incredibly... *newsworthy...* ...But he needs this operation *RIGHT NOW!* So out, out, OUT you go! *[He shoves Brash out of the emergency room and brushes his hands in relief]*
**Brash**: *[Thought]* Whoever's behind all this means *business!* I hope Mango's faring better than I am. I don't want him to get hurt... or *worse.* We haven't been partners for long... but I just can't go through that again! *[Thought Ends]*
**Dr. Jake Hardbones**: Nurse! Scalpel!
**Nurse**: *[Holding up a marker]* Shall I draw a dotted line to indicate where to make the incision?
**Jake**: No need! I'm going to *eyeball* it.
*[He slowly and successfully slices the Head Scientist's uh.. head open]*
**Nurse**: *WOW!* You really know how to chop a guy open! They should call you...
...the *CHOPPER!* *[Jake gets distressed as the word CHOPPER is repeated in his head]*

CHOPter 9

*Many moons ago...*
*[Scene flashbacks to Dr Jake Hardbones walking along a trail near the hillside]*
**Jake**: Here I am, *Jake Hardbones,* backpacking over the Scottish Highlands... Or should I say, *DOCTOR* Jake Hardbones, as I'm on vacation in celebration of my graduation from *Brain Surgery School!*
*[He spots a few houses in the distance]* AH! A village! Perhaps the townsfolk will let me pick their brains about any local legends! *Pick their brains!* HA HA! Now that I'm a brain surgeon, I finally know what that means!
*[Jake proceeds to walk into a village diner, where various townsfolk are eating. He decides to talk to the lady chopping veggies behind the counter]* Hello! I'm not from around these parts. This seems like a place with *tales* to *tell.*
**Counter Lady**: *[Rolls eyes]* *SIGH* Well-
*[Jake is abruptly poked by a stick]*
**Old Man**: *OY!* ya wanna hear a *STORY,* do ya?
**Jake**: Indeed I do!
**Old Man**: Even *more* moons ago... travelers came to this quaint village on a *MACHINE* from the *SKY!*
**Counter Lady**: It was a helicopter.
**Old Man**: These beings *PROBED* our minds with their technology!
**Counter Lady**: It was a news crew filming a piece on bed-and-breakfasts.
**Old Man**: Hoping to chase them out of town, the local mystic *CURSED* their flying contraption with **RABIES!**
**Counter Lady**: That part's true.
**Old Man**: In the dark of the lunar eclipse they got in their machine and *FLEW OFF,* never to be seen again!
**Counter Lady**: They were here maybe twenty minutes.
**Old Man**: But on nights like this, their *FLYING DEVIL* can still be heard... And *SOME* say it haunts the hillside waiting for victims to pass its curse on to.
**Jake**: Who says that?
**Old Man**: I do. I say it. I said it just now. Weren't you listening?
**Jake**: So, uh... has this rabid helicopter bitten anyone? No.
**Counter Lady**: No.
**Old Man**: Not *YET.* But *BEWARE,* boy! For the lunar eclipse...is *TONIGHT!* *[Points to a window, showing that it's already nightime]*
*[Both Jake and Counter Lady stare at the Old Man in silence, most likely doubting his tale]*
**Old Man**: **DUN DUN DUUNN!!**
*[Scene cuts to Jake walking out of diner and he gets startled by a chopping sound]*
**Jake**: *[Nervous]* *Ha ha!* It's just a lumberjack chopping wood. What a silly tale!
*[Panels show Jake continuing to walk through the hillside as it gets darker and darker, until it's pitch black]*
**Jake**: It has gotten really dark. B-but I'm not scared. *[Hears chopping sounds]* Huh? I hear that lumberjack again... Did I get turned around in the dark? *[Chopping sounds get louder]* Oh, wait-I've got a light on my head!
*[He turns on his headlight and sees that the rabid helicopter is right in front of him]* **AAAAAH!!** *[The helicopter lunges at Jake and starts to bites him repeatedly]* **AAAAAGH!!**
*[An arrow hits the helicopter and it gets surprised]*
**Old Man**: *[Holding a crossbow]* Away, foul beast!
*[The helicopter winces and flys off into the distance]*
**Old Man**: You were bitten pretty bad, son. You need a doctor.
**Jake**: *[Lying on the ground in pain]* I...I *AM* a doctor...
**Old Man**: Not just a doctor anymore. You're a WERE-COPTER now. That machine's curse is coursing through you veins. And that's *bad news.* Now, whenever there *IS* news, you will be forced to transform into a news copter to report on it. You have become... **DOCTOR COPTER!** *[Thunder flashes]*
**Jake**: **NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-*[Flashback ends and his cry transitions to the sound of a heart monitor]***
**Nurse**: *DOCTOR!* The patient is *flatlining!*
**Jake**: Ope! *[Plugs in the heart monitor and it starts beeping]* My fault... ...I knocked out the cord.

Chapter 10

*Meanwhile, all over town... ...Mango is tracking the chocolate microchips.* [Panel shows him on a map of the town]
**Mango**: Man, wherever this culprit went, they sure took the *long way* to get there! *[His microchip tracker beeps louder and finds out he is at the hospital.]* Wait a minute... Hmmm.
**Female Paramedic**: Well, then next time, *I'll* drive!
**Male Paramedic**: *FINE!* My license is expired anyway!
*[Mango runs into the hospital, as the microchip tracker's beep gets louder, and finally, he gets to the emergency room, where Brash is waiting outside. Brash turns to Mango, surprised]*
**Brash**: *Mango?* What are you doing here? You're supposed to be following the cake crumbs!
**Mango**: I did! The signal led me right here! Well, not *right here*. It led me all over town-
**Brash**: Hold up! If the *tracker* led you here, and the *Head Scientist* is here... then this *WAS* an inside job! The Head Scientist was inside the factory with the cake *AND* the invention! The cake must have must have been to sneak the invention *OUT*!
**Mango**: What about Bob?
**Brash**: Bob was *clearly* his partner, who double-crossed him, set off the explosion as a distraction, and made off with the invention for *himself*!
**Mango**: Hmm, I dunno...
**Brash**: *[Bursts into the surgery room]* *DROP THAT BRAIN!*
**Dr. Hardbones**: Um, I really shouldn't. *[He is holding onto the Head Scientist's brain]*
**Brash**: *[Grabs HS by his collar/blanket, angrily]* *THIS* MAN IS THE CRIMINAL! *WAKE UP!*
*[Head Scientist slowly wakes up]* Guhhh
**Brash**: YOU were gonna steal the money-ray thing! The cake was YOUR idea! *CONFESS*!
**Head Scientist**: I confess... I know it was wrong...
**Brash**: *Ah-HA!*
**Head Scientist**: I ate some of the cake... even though it's not my birthday...
**Nurse**: *[Takes out HS' wallet]* It's true! According to his ID, today's *not* his birthday! *[Puts his/her hand inside a hole in HS' stomach, and takes out a slice of cake]* And look! I sliced him open, and found a slice of cake!
**Brash**: *[Confused]* If he was going to sneak out the device *in* the cake, then why would he *eat*
the cake?
**Mango**: I don't think this mystery is solved yet, Brash.
**Brash**: You're right, Mango. What are we missing? If only we had the tape from the news helicopter...
*[Both Gators walk out of the surgery room]*
**Dr. Hardbones(to one of the nurses)**: Hold this. *[Hands him/her the Head Scientist's brain]* WAIT!
*[Runs after the Gators]* I happen to know that news helicopter. And if he were here, he'd want you to have this...
**Mango**: Have what?
**Dr. Hardbones**: *[He makes a few grunting sounds before popping out the news tape, it's unclear/never shown where it came from]* Here you go!
**Mango**: Uh... thanks? *[He takes the tape using a robotic hand from his V.E.S.T.]*
**Dr. Hardbones**: Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to SAVING THAT MAN'S LIFE! *[He walks back to the surgery room]* *NURSE!* Where were we?
**Nurse**: Well, I was eating this cake... ...uh...but maybe... *[Turns his/her head around]* ...we should put back this brain?
**Dr. Hardbones**: Correct! And who knows? If I put this brain in juuuuust right, maybe this scientist will be even smarter than he was before! *Ha ha ha!*
**Nurse**: WOW! That would be *NEWS!*
*[Dr. Hardbones twitches a little]*
**Mango**: Let's get back to the *bakery* and watch this news footage!
*[Brash is standing behind, looking very sad]*
**Mango**: Brash...? What's wrong?
**Brash**: Mango... This investigation has me worried that something *bad* ia going to happen.
**Mango**: Brash, we're partners. I trust you with my life. So whatever you think will happ-
**Brash**: *Mango.* The *last* time I went undercover at a bakery... my partner... ...**DIED.** I lost one partner. And now... I'm afraid of losing another.
**Mango**: I'm so sorry, Brash. I didn't know... But *fear* is no reason to give up. We're Investi*GATORS!* Not Investi*QUITTERS!* You won't lose me, and I won't lose you! You may think you've hit rock bottom, but you can go even lower... ...into the *sewer!* Now let's flush ourselves down the nearest toilet and *GATOR DONE!*
*[Brash feels comforted and smiles]*
*Speaking of the sewer...*
*[Scene opens to Gustavo and Crackerdile in the sewers]*
**Gustavo**: Um... If you don't mind me asking, how'd you get like this?
**Crackerdile**: *I DO MIND!* But now that you mention it, maybe my origin story wil help you with your task. I wasn't always a tasty treat. But I always had a taste... for *JUSTICE.* I was once a good guy, Gustavo. A crocodile named Daryl. But then...a *catastrophe* changed all that!
**Gustavo**: What happened?
*[A flashback starts, with Crackerdile narrating]*
**Crackerdile**: I fell into a vat of *radioactive cracker dough.* I thought I was going to die. Instead, I became *one* with the dough. Machines rolled me out... ...and baked me into individual saltines. Then I was packaged, put on a truck, and shipped off to who knows where. Inside the box I felt myself growing, thanks to the radiation. Or maybe it was the high rise yeast. I combined with all the other *me* crackers and *BURST* through that vacuum seal, forevermore to be known as-
**Gustavo**: Crackerdaryl?
**Crackerdile**: What? No. Cracker*DILE.* BECAUSE I'm a *crocodile*. But no! If I went by Cracker*DARYL,* someone might recognise me by the name. As Cracker*DILE,* I could be *ANY* crocodile who fell into a vat of radioactive cracker dough and came back to life!
**Gustavo**: Are...there a lot of those runnin' around?
**Crackerdile**: No. I'm all alone, Gustavo. Life since my evolution hasn't been kind. The transformation may have granted me the *strength* of a giant saltine... ...but it also made me *weak* to moisture and hungry vermin.
**Gustavo**: Then why do you live in the sewer? It's full of both moisture AND vermin!
**Crackerdile**: I might be the crumbling remains of a cracker on the outside... ...but I'm still a *crocodile* on the inside!
**Gustavo**: Well, you will crumble no more after you get inside... *[He pulls out a giant Crackerdile-shaped cookie cutter]* ...and then come OUT of... this baking mold!
**Crackerdile**: With your *SUPER DOUGH,* I'll be invincible! *[Climbs into the mold]* Soon the world will bask in the fresh-from-the-oven heat of *Crackerdile-REBAKED!*
**Gustavo**: This will make you more of a cookie, really. Or maybe a biscuit.
**Crackerdile**: Just get on with it, Mustachio!
**Gustavo**: Hmm... *[He looks over two batter tins and pours one onto Crackerdile]*
**Crackerdile**: Ooh, that's cold!
**Gustavo**: *[Puts Crackerdile into the medium oven, sets the timer and pulls out a bent metal spoon to free his leg shackle]* Now's my chance!

Chapter 11

*Back in the Batter Down kitchen...*
*[Scene shows the Gators looking over the tape footage]*
**Mango**: Okay, here we go... Ooh, down there! That's the reporter interviewing one of the scientists. I didn't see him at the factory.
**Brash**: **THAT** must *Scientist Bob!*
**Mango**: Then the Head Scientist's assistant calls everyone back inside, aaand- **-BOOM!** There's a lot of smoke. Can't make much out.
**Brash**: **STOP! Freeze right there!** *[Pointing to something on the footage]* Double enhance! *TRIPLE* enhance! *GIVE IT ALL THE ENHANCE!* *[The footage focuses to reveal a dinosaur walking out of the explosion]* That's a triceratops! Not just *ANY* triceratops- That's *HOUDINO,* the dinosaur escape artist!
**Mango**: That means the guy in the raincoat...was a *hooded Houdino!* An escape artist and master of disguise, apparently!
*[Both Gators come out of the kitchen]*
**Mango**: Junior Assistant Baker Marie! Where's the store copy of the reciept for that giant birthday cake?
**Marie**: *[Hands him the reciept]* Here.
**Brash**: If he paid with a credit card, we can track where else he's been!
**Mango**: *Drat!* He paid cash! How are we going to find him?
**Cici, on the TV**: **BREAKING NEWS!** All over the city, money is disappearing into *thin* air! This is Cici Boringstories in the *Action news Now* studio! The city's banks are *EMPTY!* One minute the money was there, the next it was gone. *Poof!* It's like someone has a *laser beam* that scientific can suck up money through walls! One thing's for sure: If your money's in a safe, your money *ISN'T SAFE!*
**Brash**: *Great!* Now there's a *CRIME WAVE!* With that scientific breakthrough, Houdino doesn't even need to break *in* to make a break*out!*
**Mango**: So if Scientist Bob hired Houdino to steal that invention...how does that connect to Gustavo's dissapearance?
*[They turn to look at Marie, who is busy texting]*
**Marie**: *?* *OH!* Uh... Which one of you is pretending to be Gustavo this time? *I MEAN-*Chef Mustachio is missing again??? whaaaaat... That's, like, so cray...
**Brash**: WHO DO YOU KEEP TEXTING? *[Snatches Marie's phone]* SAB...Bob?
**Mango**: Could that be... *Scientist* Bob?
**Brash**: Yes! And when that guard told us Bob's phone said *jamboree...* ...what he actually saw was the name *JABMarie!* Bob was talking to **Junior Assistant Baker Marie!** You're in cahoots with Scientist Bob! What's he need the oven for?
**Marie**: Oven? What are you talking about?
**Brash**: The BIG oven is missing!
**Mango**: Medium oven.
**Marie**: We, have like, SO many ovens. You can't expect me to notice if one is missing.
**Brash**: You only had *THREE!*
**Mango**: *[Rolls his eyes]* And for some people, they're very easy to tell apart!
**Brash**: FORGET THAT! WHERE'S HOUDINO? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH GUSTAVO?
**Marie**: I know nuttin' about no Houdino! And Gustavo... It was an accident! *Honest!* We... We saw him fall down a manhole. And instead of calling for help...we did nothing.
**Mango**: What do you mean, *"WE"?*
**Marie**: *[Points behind the Gators]* *GUSTAVO!*
**Gustavo**: *[At the front door, looking tired]* It's-a-me!
**Brash**: *Chef Mustachio!*
**Gustavo**: I'm... I'm all right...
**Mango**: *[Surprised]* Well, this mystery certainly solved by itself. *[Happily]* I guess our work here is done! *CASE CLOSED!*
**Brash**: *[Angrily]* *What? No,* Mango! *NOT* case closed. There are still many threads to resolve!
**Gustavo**: *[Happy]* Ah! Junior Assistant Baker Marie! I'm so glad you're okay!
**Marie**: Um, *thanks?*
**Gustavo**: When I found myself in chains I feared the worst! *[Gives a thought bubble where he's baking]* I had to bake, and bake, and bake, and bake... And I was afraid once I could bake no more, *YOU'D* be forced to suffer the same fate! *[Puts his hand around Marie]* It's good to be back, and to see you're safe. *[Marie nervously giggles]*
**Brash**: *[Confused]* So Marie *wasn't* involved in your disappearance?
**Gustavo**: No, Marie and Bob had nothing to do with it. Say, where *is* Bob? *[Looks around]*
**Mango**: You know Scientist Bob?
**Gustavo**: *Scientist* Bob? No, *SENIOR ASSISTANT BAKER BOB*. He's my best employee. I'd trust Bob with *anything*! Except my *SECRET RECIPES* which I keep up here. *[Points to his head]*
**Mango**: In your hat?
*[Marie's phone receives a message from Bob, which says '**U still their**?']*
**Brash**: Mango, look. *[Mango glances at her phone]*
*[Suddenly, the doorbell rings, where Marie trying to escape. Everyone looks at her.]*
**Marie**: Uh...
**Brash**: *[To Marie, angrily]* STOP. RIGHT. THERE. *[To Mango]* Mango, *Interrogator Mode ON*.
**Mango**: *Voop. Voop.*
*[A new scene opens, where Marie is in a room in a chair, with a bright light shining at her. The gators ask her questions]*
**Brash**: What were you and Bob up to? *TALK!*
**Marie**: *[Trying to dodge the light]* I'll talk, I'll talk! Bob was tired of living in Chef Mustachio's mushadow. We wanted to start our own baker together! But *GUSTAVO* keeps all his *BEST* recipes in his *HEAD!*
**Brash**: *[Shows and points to Gustavo's **Cupcakes: From Facial Hair to Chocolate Éclair** book]* What about the ones in his book?
**Marie**: That book only goes upto *ÉCLAIR!* There are *twenty-one* more letters' worth of recipes after that! The only way to figure out Gustavo's secret recipes is to reverse engineer them! *[grumpily]* But that takes more *science* than we had available to us here.
**Mango**: And at the science factory, they've got *all* the science!
**Marie**: *THAT'S RIGHT!* When Bob and I saw Gustavo fall down that manhole, it was the perfect opportunity to put our plan into action. We didn't think he was *missing*. We just thought that he was stuck in that hole.
**Mango**: So Bob disguised himself as a scientist to blend in at the science factory...
**Brash**: ...and deconstructed Gustavo's baked goods with *science* to steal his secret recipes! *THAT'S* why he took the big oven!
**Mango**: *Medium* oven.
**Gustavo**: *[Shows the missing oven mark]* You mean *THAT* oven? No, No, that oven was with me.
**Mango**: *[Confused]* But I saw it at the science factory!
**Gustavo**: The *Bakemeister 2000*? It's one of the best three ovens on the market! You can cook up *ALMOST ANYTHING* in there. I'd be surprised if the science factory didn't have atleast one of their own.
**Mango**: *[Confused]* So... Bob was working with *Houdino* or what?
**Gustavo**: Who?
**Mango**: Dino.
**Gustavo**: Who?
**Mango**: Dino.
**Gustavo**: Who?
**Mango**: Dino.
**Gustavo**: Who-
**Brash**: *[Shouting]* *ENOUGH!* HE DOESN'T KNOW HOUDINO! WHICH MEANS... the connections between Gustavo's disappearance, Bob and Marie's recipe thieving, and Houdino's cake shenanigans... are just coincidence?
**Mango**: I guess the General Inspector's lunch was wrong.
**Gustavo**: Marie, why would you steal my recipes? I thought you *liked* working at Batter Down.
**Marie**: *[A bit grumpily]* I was just in it for the dough! And by "dough", I mean *MONEY*! *[Evilly]* And you *bumbling gators* will never catch Senior Assistant Baker Bob! He's *too* smart for you!
**Brash**: Oh, *really*? *[Types a message to SABBob in Marie's phone saying: **'Coast is clear. Come back 2 bakery.]*** [Shows the message to Mango]
**Mango**: It just needs... *[Types in '💩💩💩']*
**Brash**: *[Looks at Mango's poop emojis]* I am deleting your poop emojis. *[unpoop unpoop]*
**Mango**: *[Sad]* Aw, you're no fun.
*Soon...*
*[SABBob walks in the bakery]*
**Bob**: *WHEW!* Glad that's over with! Bob's *tired* of lying low! *[Takes out a notebook with the front cover* Stolen Recipes*]* Good thing I just happened to run out of the factory with these stolen recipes right before the explosion! And with Gustavo stuck in that manhole, *BBAKER BOB'S* is gonna have the *best baked goods* in the *world!* *[Looks around to find Marie, but gets handcuffed by Brash]* Oh, dang!
**Marie**: *[Nervously, who is also handcuffed]* Hi, Bob!

Chapter 12

*[Marie and Bob are being carried into* Da Police *Jail vehicle, where Mango and Brash are standing beside the bakery.]*
**Mango**: That's two criminals down! *[High-fives Brash]*
**Brash**: Good Job, partner! *[High-fives Mango]* Now we've got figure out how to catch Houdino before he robs the entire city!
**Mango**: That triceratops will be hard to find. Houdino can easily blend in with a crowd. *ESPECIALLY* when he's wearing a raincoat!
**Brash**: Indeed. Let's see if the S.U.I.T. database has any useful info on him. *[Taps on his V.E.S.T. which opens a hologram of the S.U.I.T.PEDIA]*
**Hologram Voice**: *HOUDINO* is a master escape artist. He began his career by performing daring feats of escape on stage. Breaking chains, getting out of handcuffs, escaping straitjackets, that sort of thing. But what he couldn't escape were *low ticket sales.* So he turned to a life of crime-mostly bank robbing. He won't pass up a *steal,* and can't pass a *deal.* There is no vault that can stop him, and no cell that can hold him. Houdino likes to *break in, break out* and *BREAKDANCE.*
**Brash**: *[Ends the hologram]* Well, Mango, looks like to bust Houdino... ...we'll have to *BUST A MOVE.*
*[A Montage Plays]* InvestiGators (Volume 1)/Montages#Montage 4: Bustin Moves]
**Brash**: Who wants to show us their moves? Anyone? Huh. I guess those hot, fresh moves Inspector Vogue taught us weren't enough to get Houdino's attention.
**Mango**: Well at least we made some money- *[Shows the can to be empty]* WHAT?! Our money's *VANISHED!* Houdino must have taken it with that money-ray thing!
**Brash**: *[Crushes his hat in his hands]* Grr! I was sure he wouldn't be able to resist a dance-off, but it looks like the only thing Houdino *can't* resist is money.
**Mango**: Even if it's small change! *[Pours out the can]* The only things left in here are lint and mismatched buttons. With that invention, robbing anyone is a piece of cake!
**Brash**: Hold up... The Thingamasteve ONLY works on money. Which means Houdino can't use it to steal anything else.
**Mango**: Right...
**Brash**: So what's the money *FOR?* He hasn't been caught spending it on anything.
**Mango**: Maybe he's saving it for a rainy day? He's got that raincoat, after all.
**Brash**: Yeah, but with all that money he could *BUY* anything he wants and then *STEAL* the money back again!
**Mango**: That's a good point. Houdino's not just shifty, he's also *thrifty!*
**Brash**: We have to lure him out with something money can't buy!
**Mango**: *[Confused]* Love?
**Brash**: No, something that can't be sucked through walls!
**Mango**: *Oh!* I see where you're going with this... To catch a triceratops, we'll have to set a tricera-trap!

Chapter 13

*And so...*
*[Scene shows a front newspaper promo about Batter Down's Customer Appreciation Day! the text reads "Get GOOSETAVO'S latest creation* FREE *when you present any receipt from a previous purchase! Be the first to taste the* PB & PB & PB *before it becomes available to the buying public!"]*
**Houdino**: I may have more money now than I could ever spend... ...but I'm not gonna pass up something that's *FREE!*
*Eventually...*
*[Scene cuts to the Batter Down bakery, where Mango & Brash are handing out PB & PB & PB to customers]*
**Brash**: Enjoy your *Peanut Butter Pickle Bacon Pastry Bun!*
**Mango**: I would have never thought so many people held on to their receipts. This one is SEVEN YEARS OLD! That coupon is costing us a fortune! At this rate, our bakery will be out of business by tomorrow!
**Brash**: I think you mean we'll put *Gustavo's* bakery out of business.
**Mango**: Oh, right.
*[The door opens and the bell dings]*
**Brash**: *[Whisper]* SHUSH! This might be Houdino!
*[Houdino walks in with his hood over, the Gators smile at him nervously]*
**Brash**: *[Whispers to Mango]* Is that him?
**Mango**: *[Whispers back]* I can't tell with his hood up.
**Houdino**: I'd like my free PB & PB & PB, please. *[Hands over his cake's receipt to Mango]*
**Mango**: Wow, so polite... *[Takes the receipt and winks at Brash]* ...especially for...
**Brash**: *[Takes off Houdino's hood]* *..A CROOK!*
**Houdino**: *[Stares and groans at Brash, angrily]* GRRR!
*[Mango clicks a button on a remote, which traps Houdino in a cell]*
**Mango**: Tricera-*TRAPPED!* *[Takes out the THINGAMABOB from Houdino's bag]* You won't be stealing moey with *this* anymore! How'd you even know about this thing, Houdino?
**Houdino**: I didn't. But when I saw on the news that all the scientists at the Science Factory were outside, I knew that place would easy pickin's. There's *ALWAYS* some contraption that can be used for evil at the Science Factory! And handily enough, this one came with an instruction manual.
**Mango**: *[Reads a small instruction manual]* It's dishwasher safe!
**Brash, to Houdino**: And the ruse with the cake?
**Houdino**: Everyone likes cake! Easy way in. Though I do like to make an **EXPLOSIVE** exit. You lizards think this cage can hold *the Great Houdino?* Nothing stops this triceratops! *[Bends the bars of his cell]*
**Mango**: *[Presses the remote again, which covers the cell in metal, bricks and wrapped in a present with a bow]*
**Brash**: That's a wrap!
**Mango**: How are we gonna get him out of the store?
**Brash**: Probably the same way the big oven was taken out.
**Mango**: Medium oven.
**Brash**: *WAIT!* We never found out who kidnapped Chef Mustachio! Or *WHY!*
**Mango**: That's the reason we were here in the first place!
*[Both Gators rush into the kitchen]*
**Mango**: *Gustavo!*
**Gustavo**: Gators, *please* tell me I can stop baking your crazy pastries. I did enough of that in the sewer!
**Mango**: What happened to you? Start from the beginning.
**Gustavo**: Well, I was born a poor farm boy-
**Brash**: *START* from your abduction.
**Gustavo**: I was waxing my handlebar mustache while walking to work, when someone grabbed my leg and pulled me down! He was the most *UNSAVORY* character... though maybe he'd be all right with a sharp cheese and some prosciutto... He was...crumbling... half-eaten...
**Mango**: YOU'RE NOT MAKING SENSE, MAN!
**Gustavo**: He forced me to develop a new type of dough. A super dough. A *hybrid* of cracker, cake, cookie, and bread. A *HYBREAD.* He made me rebake him... in the medium oven.
**Mango**: Told ya.
**Gustavo**: He must've stolen it when no one was looking.
**Brash**: *[Grabs his shirt collar]* Gustavo... Was he a... CRACKER?
**Gustavo**: Y-yes. He called himself... **Crackerdile!**
**Brash**: *[Shocked]* No... Not possible...
**Mango**: Brash? What does that mean? Brash...?
*[Brash proceeds to walk out of the kitchen, looking pale]*
**Mango**: Gustavo, what happened next? How did you escape?
**Gustavo**: While he was baking, I broke free of my shackles with a spoon. And then I had to do the most horrible thing...
**Mango**: Crawl out of the sewer?
**Gustavo**: No, I broke the first rule of baking... ...*I left while the oven was on!* *[Starts sobbing]*
**Mango**: You had to do what you had to do, Gustavo... *[Pats him]* It was a *LOAF*-or-death situation. [hee hee] *Ahem.* 'Scuse me.
*[Mango walks out of Batter Down to find Brash sitting sadly on the pavement]*
**Mango**: Brash...? You okay?
**Brash**: I think I know who this Crackerdile is... Mango... It's time I told you what happened to my old partner at that bakery... *[Flashback starts]* His name was Daryl. He was S.U.I.T.'s top agent! I learned so much from him in our time together. Our assignment was supposed to be easy as pie. Daryl was going to retire. It was his last mission. But no one expected it to be his *last* last mission. We were cracking down on a cracker company that was disposing of *nuclear waste* by baking it into their *saltines!* We cracked the case... ...but there was an incident with a cat. Daryl fell into the radioactive dough... ...and was never seen again. *[Flashback ends]* Or so I thought. But he must have been alive this whole time! I could have saved him! It's all my fault! And now...he's an evil saltine out for revenge...
**Mango**: Yeah, I'd be salty about being left to die, too. Sorry, Brash. I can only imagine how difficult this must be.
**Brash**: Thanks, Mango.
**Mango**: But you're a great detective. And Mustachio is safe now. We can deal with Crackerdile later. Something tells me his time will be up soon.

Epilogue

*[Not far below...]*
*[Crackerdile's baking time was up, as he smashes the oven door and gets out]*
**Crackerdile**: Ha-ha-haaa!! *[Reveals himself]* *BAKED* to *PERFECTION!* Gustavo! Where are you- *[Sees the broken chain]* *ESCAPED?!* *Bah!* I don't need you anymore, anyway. Now that I've been baked with *SUPER DOUGH*, I feel... I feel... I feel kinda *normal,* actually. I should feel *stronger*... *[Sees two dough tins, one's the empty Normal Dough and the other's the Super Dough]* What is this? Or what... *ISN'T* this? I WAS BAKED WITH *NORMAL* DOUGH?! NOOOOOOOO
**Dr. Jake Harbones**: OOOOOh, boy! That was *SOME* surgery! Not quite *newsworthy*, thankfully, but still a success.
**Head Scientist**: Thanks, Dr. Hardbones. I feel *much* better! And even... *SMARTER!*
*[The Gators walk into the surgery room carrying a pink cake that says Get Swell on it]*
**Mango**: Hey-o!
**Head Scientist**: Ah, you must be the InvestiGators!
**Brash**: *[Gives him the cake]* Feeling better?
**Head Scientist**: Yes, thanks to the doctor. And thanks to you two, recovering my invention! Who knows what damage that crook could have done to the economy! But I've made sure it won't fall into the wrong hands again. I've handed it over to the government!
**Brash**: Well, I'm sure we'll hear all about that on the evening news.
**Dr. Hardbones**: *[Shaking]* Yes... This sounds... irresistibly... *newsworthy!* **AAAAAAAHHHH!!** *[He storms out of the surgery room, next panel shows him on the roof of the hospital]* **AAAAAAHHH!!** *[He slowly transforms into the Action News Now helicopter and flies off]*
*[The Gators are shown outside of the hospital, looking up]*
**Mango**: Huh. Well, Gustavo and his recipes are safe, a bunch of assistant bakers are in *custardy...* ...Houdino is behind bars that are behind more bars, and the world's money is safe from *ahem* criminals. Another job well done!
**Brash**: But Mango, what about *Crackerdile?* Even if Gustavo didn't use the super dough, as a former agent of S.U.I.T., Crackerdile is still a force to be reckoned with.
**Mango**: Listen-we're *Mango* and *Brash.* We're **INVESTIGATORS!** When Crackerdile comes for us, we'll be *bready* for him! We'll get that cracker in a *jam!* He'll be *toast!* We'll... We'll...
**Brash**: We'll bring that crust to justice?
**Mango**: *HA!* Good one!
*THE END...for now!*
