Aladuf raced down the tunnels cursing himself as he set off more and more traps. He found himself dodging arrows, evading blades and he was still being chased by that roaring sound behind him. This Bond had laid out his traps cleverly, and Aladuf could now pay for his overconfidence with his life.

Then he saw it through the sweat on his face, the switch. Maybe, he would not disappoint The Professor afterall. He just hoped the Professor and Flunkie were already in place. This train did not have an off-switch.

Aladuf launched forward pulling the switch down then he continued to race down the tunnel. He really really hoped that he did not just screw everyone over.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The panel in front of Flunkie began to light up. It was the signal to go. He flipped his switch, and started the final leg of the tunnel.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Professor looked up from his watch, it should be time. When he looked at the panel, he was excited to see that the first two switches had been activated. He pulled on the third and final one. It would not be long now until alarms went off.
---------------------
In the GAMES building above the tunnels, alarms started sounding all over. Guards and employees scrambled to and from points. They prepared themselves for an attack. Bond remained calm in his office watching the video feed of the three men attempting to break into his headquarters. They were not prepared for what real traps he had laid.
--------------------------------------------------------
Aladuf crashed into Flunkie as he came flying out of his tunnel.

"Man, I do not know what is wrong with Bond but I almost got beheaded, crushed and burnt in there."

"Really? My tunnel was really just dark. Ha ha."

"What? Where's The Professor?"

"Right here." The Professor emerged from the end of the central tunnel. "Let's get a move on it. The guards should be here any sec..."

The Professor's thoughts were cut short when he heard the sound of several guns being cocked.

"Oh shit, oh shit!" Flunkie paced around the floor.

"Don't worry. Once again, I have everything under control." One by one, the guards began to fall. When they were all down, one emerged from behind the pack.

"Everything is clear for you Professor. Bond remains in his office."

The Professor turned to Aladuf and Flunkie, "I told you boys when you accumulate as much power as me, you have connections in all the right places." Now The Professor turned to his hired guard, "Thank you for the assistance. Now get out of here so no one suspects you."

The guard retreated upstairs. He would tell tales of how the three men took out his squadron and he was barely able to escape. Along the way, he would beat himself up to give the proper impression.
------------------------------------------------------------
They met with very little resistance as they made their way through the building. The guard's tale frightened most others from attacking them without significant numbers and even then they still remained frightened.

Finally, they reached the door outside of Bond's office.

"Listen here," The Professor went into lecture mode now, "I want to thank you for all your assistance today, but I will be the one who takes out my former pupil. Understood?"

Both Aladuf and Flunkie nodded their heads.

"Good. With that said, this does not need to be a fair fight so you both remember your part in this plan?" They nodded again.

"Then let's move!" The Professor concluded.
--------------------------------------------------------
Aladuf burst through Bond's office door with a greater strain than he had ever gone through before. The Professor walked through the frame of the door to greet his former pupil.

"Bond how very nice to see you again." The Professor's role was easy. He would keep Bond distracted while Flunkie snuck up on him with his invisibility.

"I wish I could say the same to you, Strangler!"

Aladuf grasped at the audacity of Bond. No one... no one ever used that nickname around The Professor.

"How dare you! You insufferable little snot. Never in all my career has anyone had the nerve to call me that."

"Bad news for you Professor. I am no longer your student. I haven't been for over 10 years. And as it stands now, I am the biggest obstacle standing in your organization way."

"You were the biggest obstacle!" The Professor felt rage like never before. As he went to continue his rant, Aladuf started pointing over to Flunkie. The Professor followed his finger something was wrong. They could see Flunkie!

Flunkie passed a mirror himself and as he walked by he saw his own reflection. No that was not right, he walked by again and he was still there. Something had gone awry with his powers. Before he had time to react, a net descend down upon him.

"An invisible stooge, really? Is that the best challenge you have to offer me!" Bond began to laugh at the Professor's poor attempt.

"GET HIM!" Aladuf rushed forward to tackle Bond but soon found himself hung up by trip wires.

"Oh man, this one seems to be tied up. So what is that two of your goons down Strangler? Looks like it is just you and I now."

"You disrespectful little brat." The Professor took a firing stance. He converted all the energy of the stuff he collected down in the tunnels. One charged blast would be more than enough to deal with Bond.

The Professor let go. The blast never came, but The Professor was blown back through the frame of the fallen door.

"Did you enjoy all those free objects down in the tunnels Professor? They were specially made to neutralize your powers! I hope I didn't hurt you too...."

Before Bond could finish there came an explosion from outside.

Figures came through the window.

"We are so sorry for crashing this impromptu PTA meeting, but I believe we had an appointment today!"
---------------------------------------------

That's the end of that. Sorry was so long, but figured would post a new story at work.
