## History

### HENCHMAN vs. HENCHMAN?!

Gary is a new recruit for Chaos Agent's New A.L.T.E.R. and chats with Chaos Agent before he's sent on a mission to inform Midas about the A.L.T.E.R base in Pleasant Park and that Skye is there. He is dubbed the title of Agent 21. On his way to the Agency, he encounters Agent 23, a Ghost agent. Convinced that they have to, they have a fight in which it comes to a draw. It's then revealed that Agent 23 and Gary are brothers that were sent to Henchman Academy. After finding out that they're Agent 23 and him decide to disobey their bosses' orders and go skip together and do who knows what.

### MIDAS FIRES THE HENCHMAN...

After skipping carefree for 4 weeks, Gary and his brother Agent 23 finally snap out of their fairy tale trace and realize if they don't complete their missions. By completing both of their missions with two pieces of dialogue, they report back to their organizations, hoping not to get fired.

Gary returns to the Pleasant Park A.L.T.E.R. Base to report to Chaos Agent, but only to be told by Skye that Chaos Agent is deceased. This pretty much meant he was fired.

Meeting back at their father's house, they discuss how they were both (technically) fired. In a last attempt to get a roof under their heads, they consult who quickly rejects them.

Now just hobos on the street, they are recruited by Blackheart to be pirates. He sees big storm clouds rolling in and is assembling a crew to sail the upcoming flood with.

### THE HENCHMAN GET KICKED OFF THE ISLAND...

Gary, his brother Agent 23, and Blackheart walk down the beach at Sweaty Sands to his motorboat. He shows them it and tell them to get on it. They instantly assume the boat is his ship and they're scolded by Blackheart for even thinking that was his ship. They leave on the boat to Blackheart's actual ship. Once they arrive there, Blackheart makes them try on their new uniforms. Then, he hands them over to his first mate Skipper to teach them how to be pirates. After a montage of pirate training, Gary and his brother are finally pirates, but to be a part of Blackheart's crew, there's one final task. Can they stand the horrifying secret of Blackheart? When the sun goes down, his secret is revealed. He is a scary skeleton pirate at night. But Gary and his brother aren't scared of him. They're more scared of the dark. And with that, they become official members of Blackheart's crew.

### THE WAR OF THE HENCHMAN!

Gary and Agent 23 are sleeping peacefully in their hammocks on Blackheart's ship when something hits the ship. Both of the brothers are startled awake by the noise. Having watched Titanic last night, Agent 24 frightfully suggests it was an iceberg. Gary dismiss his suggestion. The two go to check out the source of noise. As they walk onto the main deck, they're ambushed by mermen. After killing multiple mermen and defending the ship, they decide to take turns defending the ship as the other one sleeps.

The strategy was a failure as when Blackheart and Skipper came back in the morning, they were found asleep, back to back, on the deck. Blackheart wakes them up and they apologize for sleeping on the job. When Blackheart asks what happened, they explain how mermen attacked the boat last night. Then, a merman comes aboard. He speaks in a deep, echoing voice. It says they will sweeped away for their transgressions. As Blackheart asks who he is and a few other questions, he introduces himself as the Progenitor. He is the one who came before all. All life came from the ocean and he plans on bringing it back to it with the Great Flood. He then lets go of his control of the merman and it hobbles towards the group. Then, altogether, Blackheart, Skipper, Gary, and Agent 23 gun the creature down. Blackheart, now witnessing the mermen for himself, now believes them. But now they might have a war on their hands now so they head to Coral Cove to find a specific person to help them.

Using the motorboat, Skipper and Gary arrive at Coral Cove. They meet Fishstick and his father King Leviathan. Skipper fills them in what happened to his crew and that they need Fishstick for their plan. The plan is to use Fishstick's mark to find the Progenitor's lair and end him once and for all, stopping the oncoming flood. King Leviathan is hesitant at first, but Fishstick convinces him to let him go help them.

They enter the Progenitor's lair. They're there to stop him from flooding their world. The Progenitor says the world is for all and they have squandered their place as storage. He also calls Fishstick a traitor to him and his people. Skipper has enough of the Progenitor's words. They all start bombarding the Progenitor with rockets, eventually defeating him for now. They relish this victory and head back to the ship, but Gary and his brother stay behind for a bit. They both realize how cool they were just now and how they potentially prevented a war. They realize how awesome they really are.

### THE HENCHMAN'S SACRIFICE...

The final scene of "THE WAR OF THE HENCHMEN!" continues in the beginning of this episode. With the Progenitor presumably defeated, Blackheart, Fishstick, and Skipper leave the lair as Gary and Agent 24 stay behind to relish their victory. But then a merman comes out of nowhere with a boom bow. It fires the arrow at Gary, but Agent 23 heroically pushes him out of the way. The arrow hits him, severely injuring him. Gary quickly kills the merman with his revolver and see to his brother. His wounds are too severe and then the ultimate henchmen duo became a solo act.

At the funeral, Gary speaks to the attendees; Blackheart, Skipper, and the brothers' father Wolf. Agent 23 was a great man, a great henchman, and best of all, a great brother.

### LEGEND OF THE GOLDEN HENCHMAN!

Gary mourns the loss of his brother as he stands in the his sleeping on Blackheart's ship. But suddenly his brother's ghost appears in front of him. He says to him that he shouldn't blame himself for his death and that his was happy to die for him. Agent 23 then tips off his brother that there's a hidden treasure deep under the Agency. Gary was going to quit the pirate life, but with new info and seeing his brother once again, he becomes motivated to be the best pirate ever. But what he doesn't know is he isn't speaking to his brother's ghost. He's speaking to Oro, making Gary another pawn in his big game of chess between Midas and him.

Gary manages to convince Blackheart to drive him to the Agency to pull off the heist. He then walks into the Agency, managing to fool Agent Peely and Tek into directing him to the elevator. As he steps into the elevator, it asks for his voice recognition. He fails his first attempt, but Oro, disguised as Agent 24, steps in. He replicates Midas' voice and says the password. "Marigold."

The elevator reaches the basement and Gary goes to find the treasure. He finds a more unpleasant surprise instead. The golden statues of Marigold, Rippley, 8-Ball, and Drift.After his brother (still Oro) tells him that these are Midas' agents and he urges him to tell somebody. He does and calls Skye. He tells her about his discovery at the Agency and hangs up, bolting for the exit to warn the others. Unfortunately, Midas appears from the elevator, blocking his escape. He informs him that it's too late and that he told Skye. This is where his story comes to a close as Midas shoots him down with his drum gun.
