Fighting Fire with Fire

The Maddogs are in the parking lot of an office highrise. The company sign reads "Hawk Inc."

Wesley: I'm not happy about this.

Saphire: Why's that?

Wesley: Things ended badly between me and my father the last time I saw him. And it was his fault.

Silver: What happened between you two?

Wesley: I used to work for my father, the famous Richard Hawk. But he went around my back and claimed some things I invented as his own. Well, I was furious. So I stormed into his office.

Flashback scene. A somewhat younger Wesley slams the door to his dad's office.

Wesley: What the heck is wrong with you?!

Richard: Don't talk in those tones with me young man!

Wesley: I'll talk anyway I wan't to DAD! Look at this!

Wesley throws a newspaper in front of his dad.

Wesley: The newspaper said that YOU invented that gizmo, not me! You know very well that I invented it!

Richard: I just don't think other people are ready to see someone like you jump ahaed.

Wesley: Someone like.... that does it!! I quit! I'm going to work for Microsoft. They've given me a better offer.

Richard: Microsoft?! Are you out of your mind?! That's a competeing company!

Wesley: Exactly! I will NOT work for a father who doesn't see the potential in his own son! So long!

Wesley opens the door and slams it shut. Richard comes out and follows him to the elevator

Richard: Get back here young man! You cannot just up and leave!

Wesley: Watch me.

Wesley gets in the elevator and the doors close.

Present day.

Outlaw: I'm sorry things didn't work out. But your father has asked us for our help.

Wesley: Yeah, yeah. Let's just get it over with.

Waiting room. A secretary is behind her desk typing a letter. This is Sandy Gilbert.

Sandy: Wesley! It's good to see you again. We've missed you.

Wesley: Uh-huh. Just tell him that were here.

Sandy(into intercom): Mr. Hawk, they're here.

Richard(over intercom): Let them in Sandy.

The Maddogs enter Richards office. He is currently standing, looking out the window. He turns around and looks at them.

Richard: So, my son who's become a bounty hunter has decided to see me.

Wesley: I'm not here to argue.

Outlaw: Please Wesley. Mr. Hawk you said you had a reason for bringing us?

Richard: I do. Wesley, do you remember Dr Grant Cole?

Wesley: Head of the chem department? Sure. The wacky old man spent most of his life trying to prove that werewolves existed. And of course, when that business the Rovers went through he was, shall we say, very excited. He even helped the Rovers in finding a cure.

Outlaw: Did it work?

Wesley: No.

Richard: Some time ago, Dr Cole was working in his lab and got an electrical shock that messed up his mind. Now he wan't to create his own army of werewolves and rule them. Last week he stole a number of chemicals from our labs. By themselves, they're harmless. But put together, well, their very dangerous.

Outlaw: Where is he?

Richard: He runs a small subsidary company out of GenPar Inc. called Gracol Labs, here in town. No one can prove that he's doing anything illegal, but I'm sure you can, and get him the help he needs.

Outlaw: We'll get him. Let's go.

On the other side of town, They park several block away from Gracol Labs.

Outlaw: Here's what were going to do. We'll go in with our cloaker belts on. Saphire, you take this camcorder and hook it up with Harley. Let's move.

Gracol Labs. Dr Cole and his assistant Sam Jefferson are working.

Grant: Here it is Sam. I've created the formula.

Sam: What does the formula do Dr Cole.

Grant: Why, it turns people into werewolves son. And I'm going to have an army at my side!

Sam: W-what?!

Outlaw: Think again Dr Cole!

They turn to see the Maddogs standing there, pistol drawn.

Saphire: Got all that Harley?

Harley: Copy that.

Outlaw: Dr. Grant Cole, your under arrest.

Grant: Come and get me.

Grant starts to drink the formula. After several seconds he begins to grow. Fur grows all over his body and he morphs into a werewolf.

Sam: D-Dr Cole!

Grant slaps Sam aside knocking him unconsious. He then turns his attention to the Maddogs.

Outlaw: FIRE!

They all open fire. But Grant just jump out of the way.

Outlaw: Saphire, grab that beaker!

Saphire: Got it.

Saphire flies into the air and grabs the beaker of liquid that Grant is still holding. She then gives it to Outlaw.

Saphire: Now what?

Outlaw: We fight fire with fire.

Outlaw drinks what left of the liquid.

Silver: Outlaw no!

Saphire: What are you doing?!

After several seconds Outlaw begins turning into a werewolf also. They both go for each other and fight it out, tearing the place apart. Beowulf grabs Sam and they run out of the building. After a lot of crashing the building collapses. Through the smoke they see a figure dragging something. Outlaw has returned back to normal, as has Grant. He lays him on the ground.

Beowulf: How'd you get back to normal?

Outlaw: My healing powers kicked in after I beat him. I then healed him as well.

RRMC infirmary. The Maddogs, Hubert and the Master are here.

Hubert: Your blood is a puzzle to me. But it seems we've found a cure for lycanthropy.

Outlaw: So do I get a clean bill of health?

Hubert: Naturally. I just wish I understood it all.

Master: With Outlaw, I don't think we ever will.

Richard Hawks office.

Richard: I'm glad he's under lock and key. I hope he'll get the necassary treatment.

Outlaw: Not too worry Mr. Hawk. We've seen to it.

Richard: Good. As to your reward, seeing as how your bounty hunters..

Richard hands Outlaw a check. They're eyes widen at the amount.

Outlaw: Whoa!

Beowulf: Yowza! That's a lot of money.

Richard: Um Wesley, I was wondering if we could talk. I've realized the mistake I made.

Outlaw: Go ahead. You two talk things over. We'll wait outside.

Wesley: Sure dad. I'd like that.

The End
