The Recluse

Setting: Season 3 | Dusty Depot

          "Mr. Wick! Did you take everything I had recorded about the Elite Civility Force?" Raptor yelled from the communication center.

          "No Raptor, why would I?" John Wick answered.

          "I don't know it's missing!" Raptor slowly going into panic mode.

          "Who was the last person you know touched it?" John Wick asked, now coming up the stairs.

          "I think Black Agent," Raptor said.

          "Well go to him first and see if he put it back," John Wick said. Raptor turned around and updated the map of where every member of the Elite Civility Force was.

          "He's in Tomato Town, you wanna come? We can get pizza," Raptor asked.

          "Pizza?" Brite Bomber yelled from outside.

          "Yes Brite Bomber, pizza. Would you like to come?" Raptor asked.

          "I would love to Raptor," Brite Bomber responded.

          "Great then let's head out," Raptor said enthusiastically. The two met up at the center warehouse entrance and started the run to Tomato Town.

Tomato Town

          "Hey Black Agent, have you seen the Elite Civility Force papers?" Raptor asked.

          "Yeah, they're in E4," Rogue Agent responded in a weird tone.

          "But they're not," Raptor said.

          "Are you alright, you sound different," Brite Bomber asked.

          "I'm fine now leave me alone!" Rogue Agent becoming heated.

          "Woah hey, we didn't come to cause any trouble. We just wanted to know if you knew where the papers were," Brite Bomber said.

          "I said, I don't know!" Rogue Agent turned around and aimed his scar at them.

          "Run!' Raptor yelled.

          "Oh, you two are going nowhere," Red Knight said as the two simultaneously fell to the floor unconscious. 

Dusty Depot

          The alert of a teammate being knocked down played through Raptor's computer. "Oh no, what happened?" John Wick freaked out.

          "Hello? Hello? Is anybody there?" A voice played through the speakers.

          "Yes, John Wick is here, who is this?" 

          "Crimson Scout, listen. Black Agent is working with Red Knight. She calls him Rogue Agent and she's here and she's the reason Brite Bomber and Raptor got knocked down. They're still alive, but unconscious. Call Moonwalker in to Dusty Depot to help you amd alert the rest of the E.C.F. Whatever we do, we can't lose sight of Red Knight."

          "Got it," John Wick said as he sent a message to Moonwalker, "Moonwalker, we need you at Dusty Depot! Fast!"

Brick House outside of Tomato Town

          "You imbeciles," Red Knight said as her new prisoners awoke.

          "Where are we?" Brite Bomber asked.

          "Let us go!" Raptor yelled.

          "You see, that would be too easy. And besides, I could use the help," Red Knight followed up with an evil laugh.

          "We will never help you!" Raptor responded.

          "It doesn't have to be consensual. Brite Bomber, kill Raptor," Red Knight said as her eyes flashed in unison with Brite Bomber's. She turned and stared at Raptor. Red Knight left the room, closing the door behind her.

          "Brite Bomber, you don't want to do this. Just think, no pizza," Raptor said as his voice trembled.

          "I... can't resist... the... urge!" Brite Bomber said.

          "Come on Brite Bomber, you're stronger than that!" Raptor encouraging her to resist Red Knight.

          "AHHHHHHH!" She screamed and fell to the floor shaking.

          "Are you ok?" Raptor asked as he ran over to her.

          "Yeah... just tired," Brite Bomber said out of breath.

Dusty Depot

          "Ok, what's the problem?" Moonwalker asked as she rushed in. John Wick told her and she stared blankly for a minute. "I have an idea. There's someone living in Junk Junction who's been up to some stuff and I think he can help."

          "You think some junk rat can help us?" John Wick asked.

          "Yes, I do. I've seen some of the things he's built, they're pretty incredible," she responded.

          "Fine, but I'm not coming, and you're not going alone," John Wick unwillingly agreed.

          "Alright, I'll take Codename E.L.F., Funk Ops, and Sparkle Specialist," Moonwalker said as she left Dusty Depot.

Outside of Junk Junction

          "Ok, we're going in peace and to ask a favor. Nothing else," Moonwalker said to the three of them and they nodded in approval. They entered Junk Junction. The four of them went towards the center building and they crept in. The second Sparkle Specialist entered, who was at the back, Rust Lord appeared with an assault rifle aimed at them.

          "Who are you? Get out this is a restricted area!" Rust Lord said.

          "We aren't here to hurt you. We want your help," Moonwalker said.

          "And why should I trust you?" Rust Lord asked.

          "We need you to help stop Red Knight," Codename E.L.F. said.

          "Then that makes it personal. I'm in, but after we catch her I'm out again," Rust Lord said.

          "Great, we'll be at Dusty Depot if you need anything," Moonwalker said as they left.

          "Well that went easier than expected," Moonwalker said to the three of them as they were walking on the road towards Haunted Hills.

          "Well, what did you expect?" Funk Ops asked.

          "Us all dead right now," Moonwalker said.

Dusty Depot

          "Mr. Wick, Rust Lord is going to help us," Moonwalker said enthusiastically.

          "Whatever, but I'm still in charge while Raptor's gone," John Wick said.
          "Why are you so against him helping?" Funk Ops asked.
          "Because I don't think some worthless trash living in a junkyard is going to be any good for the team!" John Wick yelled.
          "Excuse me?" Rust Lord asked standing in the doorway.
          "We weren't talking about you, we would love your help," John Wick said.
          "Bud, I heard everything. I know you were talking about me and if you're going to lie to my face after I've said two words, I think I'm out," Rust Lord said, "I can handle Red Knight on my own." Moonwalker shot John Wick an angry look.
          "Look, man, Rust Lord's the name right? I'm sorry about what I said. I didn't know who you were or how useful you'd be. We'd love to have you work with us and together we can all take down Red Knight. How's that sound?" John Wick said.
          "Fine, but one more strike for any of you and I'm out," Rust Lord said.
          "So uh, where'd you come up with the name Rust Lord," Sparkle Specialist asked.
          "Well, I live in a junkyard with rusting cars and I treat Junk Junction like my kingdom, so I'm the lord of rust," Rust Lord answered.
          "Oh, neat," Sparkle Specialist responded.
          "Hey, honey, enough flirting with the new guy and let's figure out how to stop Red Knight, alright?" Funk Ops asked.
          "Right, sorry," Sparkle Specialist said, looking depressed.

The Funk Ops / Sparkle Specialist relationship is meant to be an abusive relationship intentionally. I do not, in any way, support abusive relationships.
