Chapter Four- Enter The Zombie
By GrayZombie
The Gray Zombie stood in the Oval Office, yelling as The President and his aides looked on.
"...and now, I've caught you fooling around with my wife." Gray yelled, "I'm going to kill you right where you stand, you miserable little git."
The President gulped, then asked, "And then, what did you say, Agent Gray?"
"I was too busy hauling butt to respond, sir."
"Well. All's well that ends well, I always say. Now on to matters at hand, you were briefed on the mysterious island that appeared out in the Pacific Ocean three days ago?"
The Gray Zombie nodded, "Yes sir, I should be over there now, seeing as how the Admiral called on me to join his little group. I presume that he's obtained some of America's best to help out."
"Yes," replied the President, "and one of Canada's best as well. But there is something else, something that the Admiral doesn't know about. This is why I've called you here. While this team is investigating the island, you are on a rescue mission."
"Rescue mission, sir? I'm afraid I don't understand."
"The exact moment that the island appeared, a plane was flying overhead. The plane disappeared. We fear that it may be on this island."
The Gray Zombie scratched his chin. "I see, sir. Was anyone important on this plane?"
The President paused for a few seconds, Gray knew that what the President was going to say, Gray wasn't going to like.
"The First Lady was on the plane." The President explained "This hasn't been leaked out to the press, just yet. You need to go and rescue her."
The Gray Zombie stood at attention, "Yes sir. You can count on me. If you don't mind me asking, what if she didn't survive."
The President shrugged, "Insurance is paid up. Got a cute intern working for me. But it's best to be safe than sorry."
Gray Zombie nodded, "Good point, sir. I'll head over there as quickly as I can."
A Few hours later, over the Pacific
The Gray Zombie looked out of the helicopter and down at the John Stennis. He rubbed his eyes and looked again. Yep, he was right, Dr. Xigeous was on the deck of the ship, as was Lanzman, the Super Hero Wannabe, and CyberBeast, The Six Thousand Dollar and Seventy Five Cents Man. The Gray Zombie slowly shook his head.
This mission is doomed from the get go. he thought
On board the ship, CyberBeast looked over at Dr. Xigeous.
"You're kidding?" The Beast asked "I mean, he may be one of the best agents the President uses and all, but the guy is a loose cannon."
"Yea, but he has clean underwear." Lanzman pointed out
Dr. Xigeous watched as the helicopter landed, he then turned to his two colleagues.
"All that is true." he said, "But I don't think Agent Gray was told who all was on this mission. He may think that I'm a crackpot mad scientist, Lanz, a cape wearing buffoon, and you a walking can opener. But when he finds out who else is on this mission, something is going to hit the fan."
CyberBeasts jaw dropped, "Oh, I forgot about that. They really don't get along, do they?"
Lanzman slowly started walking away, "Well, I'm not going to be around when you two tell him."
Lanzman then started running as fast as he could away. CyberBeast and Dr. Xigeous turned and found the Gray Zombie standing in front of them.
"Ok," Gray said, "Who else is on this mission."
Dr. Xigeous slapped CyberBeast on the back and ran off yelling, "CyberBeast will tell you."
CyberBeast gave a slight grin, then gulped.
"I'm afraid, Agent Gray, that you aren't going to like what I'm going to say." The Beast said
A look of dread came over Gray's face, "No. Not...."
CyberBeast nodded.
"Awwwww" Gray said, "Shinola."
