Jeff's Dream Cabin

**Jeff's Dream Cabin** is an episode of the *Danny and the Brothers* series.

## Plot

Through years of scrimping and saving, Jeff is finally able to afford his own vacation cabin. After Danny hears that Rodney Cone, the host of the show *Lifestyles of the Truly Fabulous*, lives nearby, he sneaks into Leach's estate but is first turned away, then scared off as he tries to impersonate a delivery boy. After sneaking into a party, Alvin pretends to be a famous rock star (with a faux-British accent). Leach decides to shoot an interview later that day given the overly grand description of Dave's cabin ranging from 200 rooms to gilded floors. While Dave is gone at a meeting, Alvin convinces his brothers to make a "few quick" changes to the cabin for the benefit of Dave, who will serve to make a lot of money after the Chipmunks' fame skyrockets from the forthcoming episode. One of the changes is the addition of a large indoor pool, albeit built in a slipshod manner, and a balloon shaped like a statue of Danny. Corey helps out Danny by pretending to be his butler for the show's taping. Alvin does up his room to look like it is adorned in fan artwork. Danny also fast talks Leach into not going into the "gymnasium" or "movie theatre" (which are actually only doors to the backyard). However, Danny's scam begins to unravel when the poorly-built pool breaks, causing the cabin to flood. Alvin asks "So Robby, when will I be on your show", and a drenched, enraged Leach remarks "When pigs fly". Right after Leach's limosine speeds off, Jeff returns home, and is shocked to see his cabin waterlogged. Danny promises he will make everything right again, but Marlon and Corey, tired of being Danny's slaves, throw him into the lake.

Task Force Phoenix

Shadow Force logo

It goes by the name **Task Force Phoenix** (**Оперативная группа Феникс**) but over the years it also garnered its alternate name **Shadow Force** (Russian: **Теневые воины**, literally translated to English as **Shadow Warriors**) due to its operatives being masters at fighting from the shadows. An all-female branch of Operation Olympia, the organization was formed with three goals: killing anyone who found out about Operation Olympia and waging assymetrical warfare against countries in order to internally destabilize them long enough for them to collapse and, eventually, track down and recapture or assassinate Konstantin Robinson. It was briefly dissolved once Operation Olympia was exposed to the public, only to reorganize years later as an independent paramilitary death squad, aimed at killing Olympia members everywhere.

## History

### Founding

Two years before Konstantin Robinson escaped from Operation Olympia, his biological father Yuri Lebedev sought to create an all-female arm of Operation Olympia with the goal of conducting sabotage operations against entire countries in the hopes that they would collapse from internal strife. To that end, he met with Tatiana Makarova, a close friend of his, and together they created Task Force Phoenix, also known as Shadow Force.

### Dissolution and reemergence

Task Force Phoenix was dissolved once Operation Olympia was exposed to the public; Yuri Lebedev gave the order to have all agents killed in order to erase all traces of the program's existence. However, Task Force Phoenix handlers everywhere secretly rebelled, at this point having been disillusioned about Yuri and his actual goal regarding the program. To that end, they instead released the agents from their charge and allowed them to "escape into the wild". For years, the assassins in the program went into hiding, creating entirely new cover stories for themselves in order to conceal themselves from Operation Olympia.

In 2020, two months before the official start of the COVID-19 pandemic in America, the organization reemerged, having permanently renamed the **Shadow Warriors** (Russian: **Теневые воины**) though they also referred to the organization as **Shadow Force**.

Every Brother Tells A Story

**Every Brother Tells A Story** is an episode of the *Danny and the Brothers* series.

## Plot

Jeff returns home and sees something that not only makes him angry, but perplexed. His piano has been smashed to smithereens, and he wonders why it is also covered in goop. Jeff says he will interrogate each of them separately. Danny, Marlon, and Corey each have their own biased version of what happened. Corey is up first to interrogated while Danny is sent to his room and Simon is told to stay put on the stairs. Theodore explains that he was working in the kitchen when he was dared by his brothers to walk around with a bowl of pudding on his head. Then it’s Simon‘s turn, who explains that Theodore was showing off for Danny, while good responsible Simon attempted to order them to cut it out with the tomfoolery, but Corey spilled the bowl into the piano when walking backwards. Finally it is Danny‘s turn to be interrogated. He attempts to convince Jeff that he was diligently doing his homework (causing Dave to remark in narration "but of course"), then he explains how the piano got to the top of the stairs. After Corey spilled pudding on the piano after the dare, Simon then told Theodore they were both back on Easy Street as he concocted a chemical that makes pudding evaporate. However, Simon could not move all his equipment downstairs, so he suggests hoisting the piano upstairs. Danny claims he was conscripted into helping his brothers, when the piano was too heavy and gave way.

With the Brothers confined to their bedroom; Jeff says he is aghast at the sheer stupidity and immaturity of them and says that he cannot think up any way to correct them; rather they have to think of their own punishment. Marlon proclaims they will pay for the piano by doing chores. He uses his calculator to divide the cash value of housework by that of the piano's value. Marlon's tone changes to one of defeat when he proclaims the debt will be amortized...in 48 years. Jeff (somewhat sarcastically) says they only owe him 45 years of debt bondage and walks out, prompting Danny to try to convince for reduced time.

## Jack Mercer

**Agent Jack Mercer** is a U.S. Air Marshal and the overarching antagonist of the live-action Danny and the Brothers franchise, serving as the unseen overarching antagonist of Danny and the Brothers and the main antagonist of the fourth CGI/live-action film *Danny and the Brother: The Road Trip*.

## *Danny and the Brother: The Road Trip*

Mercer first interaction with The Brothers is on a plane headed to Orlando, and he makes clear he isn't a fan. After the plane is grounded due to Corey releasing a gorilla that released the other animals, Agent Mercer adds the boys to the No Fly List as revenge and as the result of them ruining his life. Not only did his girlfriend, Elsa, dump him on Christmas for being an obsessive fan of The Brothers (he has Danny and the Brother merchandise all over his house and was playing "The Brother Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)"), but he blames the brothers for ruining his perfect record of no incidences, effectively eliminating his shot of becoming an FBI agent.

Bent on revenge, Agent Jack Mercer follows the boys as they make their way to Orlando. On his way, he takes advantage of his badge and title to try and do the same to the people he meets (one such incident involved him trying to use his title to get out of paying cab fare) though he's not always successful. His detective skills can't be denied though, as he's able to catch up to the boys on multiple occasions. He suffers much physical abuse during his journey including being thrown through a window, running into a sign, and being tattooed.

In their final encounter, Mercer is locked in an elevator so he decides to relax by the pool, certain he's lost his job as well. After refusing to leave simply because of his "status", stating the only way he's leaving is if they carry him out, two guards come in and do just that.

## Trivia

* He was the only antagonist to never meet Jeff Murphy or The Buttercup Sisters.
* Marlon also describes him as the Terminator from the 1984 film *The Terminator*.

* He presumably lost his job as an air marshal at the end of the movie for his actions.

They meet a younger, insecure Jeff who has failed multiple times in his music, and is being pressured by his father to go to accounting school. Jeff is starting to feel he would be a better accountant than a musician. The boys don't wish to end up as accountants as well so they follow Dave home and convince his father to give Jeff another chance. As Danny writes a new song and Simon determines the exact time they must leave at the merry-go-round, Jeff rests. The next day is the prom, and Jeff is confident to take the stage. With the Brothers, they perform "High Tech World". The Brothers barely make it to the playground to use the merry-go-round for their return trip.

After Grandma and Grandpa Seville call stating they will be able to watch the boys' events, Theodore feels even more pressure. Theodore looks to his brothers for help but neither's advice is useful. He finds a dime and successfully makes it over the bar for the first time. After he aces a surprise spelling test, Theodore's positive his dime is lucky. In his locker he discovers a basket of cookies with a note from a girl named Heidi. As a result he is so much more confident in himself that he spends the afternoon with Heidi. Simon tries to be logical with Theodore, saying that there is a rational explanation for everything, for example all the words on the spelling test were found in a cookbook, which Theodore is certainly familiar, but Theodore is convinced the dime is the source of his good fortune. The next day at finals, the chipmunks lose three of the events. Theodore, along with his brothers, is assigned to the three-man race, and he loses his dime. He frantically looks for it in the middle of the race, but when he finds a snake instead, he flies past the competition trying to get away from it, which causes him to break the tape before he's congratulated by Dave, Grandma, Grandpa and Heidi. Simon sees that the snake was in fact a plain old water hose. The Brothers win the three man race though Corey think his unmatched socks gave him luck. Danny and Marlon are worried again and pretend they don't know him.
