On September 19,2040 a worldwide warning went out with a race against time to find the stolen heart -shaped locket. It was not just any locket, it was “The Locket of Humanity”. But who would go on this mission to find the locket of humanity to stop the world’s dystopia? One brave commander and his team of soldiers volunteered to go on this mission. Commander King, Lieutenant Da Goat, Captain Lady G and Sergeant Beast Mode headed to Mount Savior to set up the heist to get the Locket of humanity back.

As Commander King shared the file of the target that stole the Locket, we have three days to get the locket back to its case, Said King. He went on day one was for planning day two traveling and day three the fight and return of the locket. They went over how they were going to get the Locket back from the mad scientists Dr. Red who became obsessed with power. They knew this would not be easy or like any job they have every done, but they knew that it had to be done and they had to stop the apocalyptic dystopia that was coming to their world in the next 72 hours. Commander King put Lieutenant Da Goat in charge of the vehicle's they would need by air, land, and underwater. Captain Lady G was in charge of security and Sergeant Beast Mode was in charge of the weapons, The Commander would take care of everything else for his team, we set out 5am sharp so rest up, King told the team.

We have 10 hours to travel to Phenix Hills where Dr. Red have a lab where she is holding the locket King told the team. I'm on the security now Lady G said I'm in first I'll take out the outside cameras. Now the hard part getting inside, this will be a little trickier because she has a firewall in place but no worries give me a second a little of this and a little of that and bomb, I'm in said Lady G. Looking up from her computer the team was looking at her what she asked? The team all started laughing, that didn’t seem that hard to me said Da Goat. Ha you can give it a try if you like smart guy said Lady G. Okay come on you two is the security in place asked King? Yes, commander replied Lady G. I have a submarine waiting at Red Rock Bay and a Jet at Dark skies Docks said Da Goat great said King. Don’t worry the weapons are in place on both the sub and Jet. I'll have some air dropped on the roof of the Lab and some placed nearby, said Beast Mode. Awesome answered King. Once we land on Phenix Hills we can rest for the night and have a bit to eat, said King. Sounds good the team replied.

We reached Red Rock Bay commander said Lady G, okay it's time to load the submarine and get to Dark Skies in less than two hours to stay on track lets go. The team grabbed all their belonging and head for the submarine that's what I’m talking about boy! said Da Goat rubbing his hands together. I’ll take that as your controlling the sub said Commander King yes sir replied Da Goat let's get this show on the road, he said jumping down into the sub. Show off said Beast mode shaking his head tell me about it said Lady G laughing, this going to be a long ride said King going down into the sub. After checking the control panel and lights Da Goat was ready to go. Everyone ready he shouted, yes everyone respond. As Lady G took a second look at the cameras and security guards, she notices that the safe where the Locket was held was lock with a key. King we have a small problem she said he answered and what's that, we need someone to get the key to the safe from DR. Red. Ok so we need a distraction leave it to me said Beast Mode. Ring, Commander King just got a call from head of state she told him thing have been getting worst around the world, the longer the Locket is out of place the worst things get you need to get it back to its place asap she said.

As the team watched the news, things are out of control. It’s like time is mixed up and nothing is in the right time zone said Lady G. Who knew a little Locket controlled so much asked Beast Mode? Thirty minutes till we reach Dark Skies called Da Goat. We are making good time team said King. But little did commander king and his team know they were about to be in for a fight. See Dr. Red notice them on her security system and decided to send them a little surprise. What is that said Da Goat as something fast was swimming right for them. Boom! we got hit but no damage was done said Da Goat. Everyone buckles on its time to get rid of these pests, Da Goat fired back hitting the machinic shark like creature it's about four more of them things said Beast Mode not for long said Da Goat. Fired again said commander make it two missiles this time you got it sir. These things are strong, the shark shot out a huge ball of fire. Hitting the sub-Bomb! We are hit sir called Da Goat we don’t have time for this King said getting upset time to end this. Time for the big guns said Da Goat he switched to something they called “Big Bang” here we go he said as he launched the cannons taking out all the creatures now that’s how you do it. Great job said King. The team reached Dark Skies on scheduled so they had time to snack and stretch their legs a little before getting in the jet. Man, my legs hurt like crazy said Da Goat I'm hungry said Lady G, I could take a drink or two said Beast Mode. Well, I’m well rested and had something to eat and drink already, if you can unpack the sub and ready the jet in time you all can stretch eat and drink as much as you want for fifth teen minutes, move your butts said Commander King. Show off said Da Goat, you can do that when you’re the Commander big mouth said King. He told you laughed Lady G.

Ready for takeoff ask Commander King, yes sir everyone replied. Here we go next stop Phenix Hills, with me flying we should be there in about two hours top maybe sooner. I could get us there in one hour said Da Goat, in one piece or in body bags said Beast Mode everyone laughed. Lady G I need a live feed streaming throughout the lab to my security glasses, no problem boss she answered. Beast Mode check in on our weapons make sure they're in place, sure thing he replied. Just as the team was finally relaxed incoming called Beast Mode a dragon with two heads and two tails was headed right for them. How did she make this thing? It doesn’t matter kill the thing yelled King. I knew these would come in handy said Beast Mode as he pulled out rocket launchers, they all fired at the same time but he dough them What? Said Lady G this thing is fast it fired back with a beam from it's tail King tilted the plane and it missed but not Faster than me he said. Pow! Hitting one of the heads of the dragon nice shot said Beast Mood. The dragon shot out two large beams from his mouth hitting one of the wings ,on three we shot one two three Bang! knocking it out the sky Yeah, said Beast Mode great job team now let's land this thing. Here we go crew we are now landing on Phenix Hills. The lab is 30 miles from our locations, said King as the crew set up camp for the night, they went over the planes from tomorrow's mission. Rest up team we set out early we will have to keep a low profile get some rest.

The next morning King went over everything I need everyone focused on the “Locket of Humanity “this is our one and only shout let’s go. Hey guys called Da Goat, I got us some rides air deliver last night it was no way I was walking in this heat. The team laughed and took off. Once they reached the Lab the fight was on, they reached their weapons and took the fight to Dr. Red and her goons really; they were not human. Something out of a movie like creatures, as the team made their way into the Lab the fight got tough. They had no idea what they were up against but they kept fight, what are these things asked Da Goat? Target practices said Beast Mode, more kill less talking said Lady G. As Beast Mode made his way to the safe to get the Locket, he came face to face with a very huge creature you want to fight let's fight he said to the creature. Beast Mode picked up a huge metal rod hitting the creature in the knees, the creature grabbed the rod and punched Beast Mode with his huge fist but that didn’t stop Beast Mode he then jumped on his back driving a knife through his eye, the creature throws him off. Beast Mode knew the only way to beat this thing was an explosive. No call Commander King to Beast Mode as he seen the look on his face. It’s the only way He replied as he set off to grenades and boom the explosion took out half her creatures. I don’t know if we are going to make it pass all these things said King. We keep fighting said the team. But what the guys did not know was that Lady G had a plane B in place she said guy wait a second stop shooting Dr. Red called out you will never get the Locket of Humanity back the world is mind.

Things started to slow down then it completely stopped. Dr. Red and her goons were stuck in pause. What's going on said the Commander, buzz right on time said Lady G remember you said we needed a distraction well I called up a favor from one of our old poles. Sergeant AL10, I called him in after we lost Sergeant Beast Mode. He came in the mist of the fight he cut the safe with a laser and replaced the real Locket for a fake, that is why time is rewinding he made it back to base and returned the locket. Well, what he travelling in that got him here and back so fast ask Da Goat? Well, he was doing some exploring when I made the call so he wasn’t far from here he came right away slipped in and out. Thank Lady G smart thinking said King, show off said Da Goat.

As things went back to normal the team held a ceremony to remember their friend Beast Mode. As The team said their good byes in honor of a hero the Commander let of some shots followed by the team. Wow that was great I would have used something bigger though as the team turned around there stood Beast Mode What but how? asked Lady G, I seen you blow up said King guess you had your own plane said Da Goat. Well, we all had built in shields on our vest just in case of an explosion guess I forgot to mention that part they all laughed.
