The Real Thomas

In the park at night, Rigby is snoring and waking up to his grumbling stomach, he goes to the kitchen, to get some food for the night. "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! Ah, yeah-yuh! Pizza pouch!" He hears inaudible voices. Rigby goes to investigate, and sees camouflaged Thomas fighting the man, who speaks in a Russian accent. "Stop! Drop the bag!"

Thomas dodges a stick that the CIA agent tries to hit him with, and chokes him. "Sweet dreams, Cartwright." He said it in a Russian accent. "Thomas?" Rigby asked, and Thomas quickly turns to him. "Hey, what's goin' on man?" Rigby asked. "Not much." Thomas said back in his normal voice. "Is that dude okay?" Rigby asked. Thomas looks back at the guy before looking back at Rigby. "Hey, this is weird, right? I mean, I'm doing martial arts, that guy's dressed up like a garbage can and totally still alive. I think you're in a dream, dude." Thomas said. Rigby nods in agreement, and is about to walk away, but stops in realization. "Wait, I--AH!"

Rigby screams and loses consciousness. "Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh..." Rigby falls into the ground, unconscious, the next morning, the alarm clock is ringing, and Rigby wakes up again, groaning. "Rigby, staff meeting! Did you go on pizza pouch bender again last night? Come on!" (Y/n) said. "Last night?" Rigby then comes to a realization. "Thomas!" He shakes in fear. "Guys, it finally happened. I met the perfect girl! Her name is Natalie, and she's a preschool teacher. I will be showing her around the park today. So your only duties are to leave us alone. Just leave me and Natalie alone, people!" Benson said. Rigby raises his paw with a frown, and Benson shakes his head. "No, you can't use the bathroom, Rigby." Benson said. "That's not what I was gonna s—" Rigby was cut off. "You know, Rigby has a point. What about Audrey?" Mordecai asked,

and Rigby looks at him in disbelief. "We broke up, remember?" Benson asked. Everyone murmurs. "I don't recall." Pops said. "I was sad for months? I loafed around the house?" Benson asked. "(Y/n), Muscle Man and Pops, you took me to get ice cream. Skips, you made me train for that marathon. In fact, all you guys had a role in my lengthy healing process!" Benson said. "I don't remember any of this." Skips said. Everyone murmurs again, and Benson shakes in anger. "SECOND ORDER OF BUSINESS!

Today is Thomas' last day. Now keep this under wraps, guys, cause I want to surprise him. At the end of the day, I'm offering Thomas a full-time job!" Benson said. Everyone cheers except Rigby. (Y/n)'s eyes widen with happiness. "Really?!" She asked. Benson smirks. "I knew you'd be happy about that, (Y/n)." He said, and she blushes. "Uh..." she quickly avoids eye contact. "Oh, yeah! I can't wait to see the look on his face when he sees how I prank the new hires!" Muscle Man said. "Oh god, these pranks aren't going to be as bad as his starter pack pranks, are they?" (Y/n) asked. Muscle Man smirks, and (Y/n) face palms. "You know, we don't normally hire interns, but Thomas has really been killing it lately. They're killing it in the park!" Skips said.

"AHHH! Listen to me! I was eating a pizza pouch late last night, and I hear something behind of the house, right? When I go look, I see Thomas take some guy out! I think he was speaking Russian too." Rigby said. "What?" (Y/n) asked, her tone was rather harsh and angry. Rigby quickly turns to her. "It's true, (Y/n)!" He shouted, and (Y/n) scoffs.

"As if. Why on earth would Thomas hurt somebody?" (Y/n) asked. "I don't know, but you have to believe me!" Rigby shouted. "Yeah, right, Thomas?" Mordecai scoffs. "It was a dream, dude." He said. "Yeah, obviously." (Y/n) said. "You were having a cheese and grease induced nightmare." Benson said, and (Y/n) snickers, causing Rigby to glare at her. "Oh, I get it! Let's all gang up on Rigby. I'll show you it wasn't a dream!" Rigby shouted. "See? This grease spot is where I dropped my pizza pouch." Rigby said as he walks to it, then gasps. "Signs of a struggle!" He said.

"Pathetic." Benson said. "Rigby, I don't know what's gotten into you, but you better stop it, NOW." (Y/n) said angrily. Rigby was about to retort when Thomas approaches. "Hey, guys! Got the coffee. Wait, what are all you doing behind the house? You don't have anymore surprises on my last day, do you?" He asked jokingly, and everyone except Rigby laughs. "Oh, man, you don't even know." Muscle Man said. "Let's see." Thomas said. "That's the duffle bag he had last night." Rigby said. "Got a triple espresso—" Rigby jumps over Thomas, spilling the coffee and taking the duffle bag. "Rigby!" (Y/n) scolded. "This is gonna prove it!" Rigby shouted.

"Thomas, are you okay?" (Y/n) asked. Rigby opens the bag. "That's just my dirty laundry, dude." Thomas said. "Totally uncalled for, bro." Muscle Man said. "But... it wasn't a dream! I'm onto you, Thomas!" Rigby shouted. "Rigby stop! Just stop! There's nothing suspicious about Thomas! He's our friend! And I can't believe you'd stoop so low to make him look bad!" (Y/n) shouted. "Oh please! You know nothing about this guy, you're way too trusting (Y/n)!" Rigby snapped.

"Nothing about him?! We've known Thomas here for a while now! And Thomas and I have gotten really close over the last few years he's been here! If he's a bad guy we'd know that by now!" (Y/n) shouted. "Stop acting like you know everything (Y/n), because you don't! And you don't know Thomas the way you think you do!" Rigby shouted. "You keep trying to make Thomas look like the bad guy, but the only one I see acting like the bad guy right now is you, Rigby!" (Y/n) shouted. Rigby frowns, and then quickly runs off. Thomas glances at (Y/n) in concern. "Are you okay?" He asked, and she sighs. "Yeah, just ignore him. I don't know what's gotten into him today." She said. Later on Thomas is driving a cart. "Oh, hello, mom. Oh yeah, everything's great." Thomas said.

"What's he saying?" Rigby asked. "No, exactly, yep, yep, Russian." Thomas said. "Russian? What the heck is going on?" Rigby asked. "Understood, bye, mom." Thomas puts his phone back to his pocket, he picks up his duffle bag, gets on the cart and drives off as Rigby runs towards the fountain. "It's just a sprinkler head. Wait, what's that?" He looks at the sprinkler head and it says "OCTOPOЖHO!"

(it's Russian for "careful"), much to Rigby's shock. Rigby gasps. "Russian writing? What's he up to?" Rigby asked. Meanwhile Benson is walking with Natalie. "So, this is the house where the workers stay, and this is the garage, I keep my rakes and shovels in here." Benson said. "Ooh, rakes!" She takes a picture with her camera. "I like a man who takes care of public parks." She said. "Well, someone's gotta do it." Benson said. Natalie shuts Benson's mouth with her finger. "Benson, why don't we finish this conservation somewhere more... public?"

She asked. "Uh... Sure. I could show you the A.V. Club. People go there sometimes." Benson said. Rigby pops out of the bush. "Huh. I was sure Benson was lying about that date." He jumps off the bush. Later, Mordecai, High Five Ghost and Muscle Man are eating sandwiches. "Just so we're all in agreement, Benson was totally lying about that date, right?" Muscle Man asked. Rigby comes in the kitchen holding a bunch of sprinkler heads. "You guys, Thomas is up to something and I have proof! I caught Thomas red handed installing... these." He drops the sprinkler heads.

"Sprinkler heads, wow, you really cracked the case, Sherlock." Muscle Man said, and Mordecai, Muscle Man and High Five Ghost laugh. "It's not just a sprinkler head, smart guy!" Rigby holds up the sprinkler head. "Look! It's got some kind of Russian warning on it, and while Thomas was messing with it, he got a phone call and I totally heard him say "Russian." Rigby said. "Seriously, you're lucky (Y/n)'s not here, she'd be pissed that you're still trying to make Thomas look bad.

"Thomas can't speak Russian. You probably just heard him wrong." Mordecai said. "(Y/n)'s not here?! Ugh!" Rigby said. "Pfft. You're jealous of Thomas and (Y/n), bro." Muscle Man said. "What?! No I'm not! Why would I be-" Muscle Man eats the whole sandwich. "Duh, because of how close the two have gotten." Muscle Man said. "What?! I'm not jealous of that! If anything I'm worried! Where is (Y/n)?" Rigby asked. "She went to hang out with Thomas." Mordecai said. "WHAT?! Oh no..." Rigby whispers.

Muscle Man walks to the desk. "Just don't worry about it bro, I'm sure everything is fine." He opens the handle as Mordecai, Rigby and High Five Ghost scream to see the guy that knocked out by Thomas was inside the Cupboard. "What? What are you bros freaking out about?" Muscle Man tries to get the bag of chips, but he touches the guy's face as Mordecai, Rigby and High Five Ghost are yelling "Uuuhhh" "Chill out bros." Muscle Man touches the guy's eye, then his nose, and then his tongue. "Now where are those chips." He grabs the guy's face and then fell on Muscle Man as he screams. "Muscle Man!" Mordecai said.

"Get it off! Get if off! I have a fear of being trapped under an unresponsive guy!" Mordecai and Rigby lift the unresponsive guy off of Muscle Man and they see the words C.I.A. Mordecai gasps. "This guy is from the C.I.A." He said. "That's him! That's the guy Thomas was fighting last night!" Rigby said, then a fart is heard. "Okay, this guy is not dead, because that definitely wasn't me." Muscle Man said. "Okay, okay, nobody panic." Mordecai said. They hear the doorbell ring as the guys turn heads to see and open the door slowly and someone is knocking the door.

"Uh who is it?" Rigby asked. "Is "American Intern Society of America" is urgent respect to "Thomas". A Russian spy said. Rigby gasps. "I need to give him exit interview before he can get proper credit." The spy continued. "It's very important." The 2nd spy said. "Dude you hear those accents! "Russian," those guys are probably Thomas' assassin buddies or something." Rigby said. "Yeah this doesn't feel right. Rigby lets go find Benson and (Y/n), Muscle Man, Fives you two stall these goons until we get back." Mordecai said. "Right." They close the door.

~Meanwhile~

Thomas and (Y/n) were somewhere alone together. "Hey Thomas?" (Y/n) asked. "Yeah, (Y/n)?" He asked, turning to face her. "I... I've really enjoyed our time together." She said, and Thomas smiles. "Me too." He said. "And I'm really happy you chose to join our park. You mean a lot to me, Thomas. You're just as important to me as Mordecai and Rigby." And Thomas was surprised by that. "And... there's something else I've actually been meaning to..." she said, as both she and Thomas were blushing now, and trying to hide it from each other by avoiding eye contact.

she was cut off when Thomas gets a call. "Hello?" He asked. "Yeah, no I have her. She's right here." (Y/n)'s eyes furrowed in confusion. "What?! Right now? Are you serious?" Thomas sounded annoyed about something. "Thomas? Are you okay?" (Y/n) asked, and she heard a sigh from him. "Fine..." he hung up and sighs. "I'm so sorry (Y/n)..." he mumbles, then turns back to her with a cold glare, as he crosses his arms, and this new demeanor of his scared her if she was being honest. "Thomas...?" She asked, a bit of fear in her voice. "That's not my name." He said in an unfamiliar cold voice. "Huh?" (Y/n) asked. "My real name is Nikolai, and I'm a Russian spy." Thomas said with a Russian accent, his American one she was familiar with had vanished.

"What?" (Y/n) whispered, her eyes widening. "And I came to the park with a purpose." Nikolai said. "What... what're you..." (Y/n) was speechless. "I came here because I've been picking up some unusual energy from around this area. And after some more investigating, I figured out where it was coming from. You." Nikolai said. "M- me?!" (Y/n) asked in disbelief. "Yes, there's something special about you. Your powers. And my mission is to take them from you, to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands." Thomas said. "We believe your powers are too dangerous, that they could be used for harm. So after I discovered that you're the one in possession of this power, I decided to befriend you, gain your trust, and ultimately carry out this mission." Thomas said. "What?!" (Y/n) asked, tears began falling. "Power?! What the hell are you talking about?! I don't have any powers! And who's we?" (Y/n) asked. "M.O.M.M. The Ministry of Meadow Management." Nikolai said.

"So, that's what you meant all this time when you were talking about "your mother?!" I... I don't believe this. I won't believe this, it's not true!" (Y/n) shouted, and tears fell down her face. "I'm sorry (Y/n), but I have a duty to my country, and they will stop at nothing to neutralize your powers. I don't have a choice." Thomas said. "What powers?!" (Y/n) asked desperately. "Thomas, this is ridiculous! You're talking nonsense!" (Y/n) shouted, and Nikolai gave her a harsh glare.

"I can assure you it's all true, (Y/n). There's something special about you, whether you want to believe it or not." Nikolai said coldly. "Thomas, I don't know what's gotten into you, but you need to stop, you're scaring me." (Y/n) said. "I told you that's not my name. Get that through your thick skull!" Nikolai snapped, stepping closer rather threateningly. "Thomas please, just talk to me..." (Y/n) said, stepping closer to him in a comforting matter. Nikolai quickly knocks her out, then lifts her up once she's unconscious. "I'm sorry (Y/n), please understand..."

Later Mordecai and Rigby arrive at device storage and they open the door.  "Hello Benson. Are you in here?" Mordecai asked. "Whoa. Have you ever seen this door before?" Rigby asked. "Maybe he's in here?" Mordecai asked. He pushes the desk revealing a secret base and they see Skips and Pops tied up with duct tape covering their mouth. "Pops! Skips!" The duo shouted.

"Whoa! What happened?!" Rigby asked. Skips and Pops try to talk but their mouth have duct tape on them. "I recorded my parents' vow renewal on it." Benson said. "Shh! It's Benson." Mordecai said. "Enough Talk. Give me your hands." They hear handcuffs coming from outside of the door. "Oh! Handcuffs. Not sure that these are-" Natalie kicks Benson into the secret base and looks at Mordecai, Rigby, Skips and Pops. "What are you guys doing here? And what room is this? What's all this stuff?" Benson asked. "We don't know, but we're pretty sure Thomas has something to do with it. There was a guy in the cupboard, and we're pretty sure he did that, too." Rigby said. "I think we stumbled on something really big." Mordecai said.

"What guy? What are you talking a-" they hear a slow clap, revealing Natalie walking inside the secret base. "I know you Americans love the ironic slow clap." She said. "Natalie? What's with the accent? What is all this?" Benson asked. "I am not Natalie, I am Natalia! And I am not lowly pre-school teacher. I am Russian spy!" She replied. "Whoa!" Mordecai and Rigby said. "So clever, you Americans, only took two years to figure out things at park were not what they seem.

And I am not only one right under your ignorant noses. One of your own has been conspiring against you." Natalia said. "What? Who would do that? Natalie, you're acting crazy." Benson said. "Oh, sweet Benson, why don't you let him tell you himself. Nikolai!" Natalia shouted.  Thomas enters, indicating that his real name is Nikolai, he is a Russian spy too, and the gang gasp in horror. "Thomas, why did you step out when she called for Nikolai?" Benson asked. "Because my name is not Thomas. It is Nikolai. And I am a Russian spy." He replied. The guys are shocked. "Dude, for real?!" Mordecai asked. Nikolai clears his throat. "Yeah, I am Russian spy." He said. "Oh snap! Now we're all boned! And guess who didn't believe me. You and you and you and-" Natalia punches Rigby. "Silence, rat!" She snapped. "But Thomas, how could this be?" Mordecai asked.

"I was born on a cold winter's night in Kiev. But I was abandoned as a baby and declared property of the state. The K.G.B. raised me to be the perfect weapon, no family or loyalties except for mother Russia. Some years ago I was embraced by a new M.O.M.M. The Ministry of Meadow Management. A.K.G.B. Agency dedicated to park research and espionage. Russian park technology is decades behind the rest of the world.

In the world theater, we are a laughingstock. What made American parks so good? We couldn't crack it. The order came from Commander Romanoff, "Operation: P.A.R.K.L.I.F.T.". We would uptain bougus conditials and sneak into the states. I would become "Thomas", an average college student. We entered the US, with surprising little assistants. Phase 1: Travel through target site, inquire about entership opportunities, said I'll work for free, at the first chance possible, I would risk my life for the park, I would gain my co-workers trust. I would fade into the background. I would say & do almost nothing.

Phase 2: Make perorations for Phase 3. Execute Phase 4 orders, transmit Phase 5 intelligence, relating to Phase 6: silencing potential threats to Phase 7. But that wasn't the main thing that brought me to your park." Nikolai said. "Then, why else did you come?" Mordecai asked. "Because of (Y/n), more specifically, her powers." Nikolai said, and Mordecai and Rigby tensed at this. Benson scoffs. "Powers? She doesn't have any powers. She's just an ordinary employee." He said. "Yeah, you're talking crazy Thomas!" Rigby shouted. "Oh don't try and deny it, Rigby! I know you two know!

Yet you didn't even bother to tell (Y/n) about it." He said. "How... how do you know about this?" Rigby asked suspiciously. "Turns out, (Y/n) was experimented on." Nikolai said softly, his voice almost having a bit of pity for her, and the duo's eyes widen in horror at how he knew that. "And it happened to her at a very young age, which would explain why she has no memory of this,

aren't I right, Mordecai and Rigby?" Nikolai asked, sending them a glare. "What...?" Benson asked, looking over at the duo, who look uncomfortable and avoid eye contact. "Guys, what is he talking about?" Benson demanded angrily. "Oh, I see you didn't even bother to tell any of your other friends either." Nikolai said in a bit of a mocking tone. "That's pretty messed up, guys. But it's even more messed up not to tell (Y/n)." Nikolai said. Rigby puts the pieces together. "That night I was talking to Mordecai about this, the door was left open but I remembered closing it."

Rigby looks up at Nikolai with a glare. "That was you, it was all you!" Rigby said. The rest of the park gang looked shocked. Rigby growls, and looks at him fiercely. "Where is (Y/n)?" He demanded. "(Y/n) will be coming with us." Nikolai said. "What?!" Mordecai, Rigby and Benson asked. "W- why?!" Mordecai asked. "We're going to take her powers." Natalia said. "WHAT?!" Everyone asked. "NO! I won't let you hurt (Y/n)!" Rigby shouted. Rigby lunges at them. "Rigby!" Mordecai shouted, but Natalia kicks him back. "Ow!" Rigby shouted. "As for the park, it's astonishingly average. We plan on infiltrating other, like, way better parks if this trial succeeds." Nikolai said. "It just doesn't add up. How are we never seeing you doing any of this?" Skips asked. "I had my ways." Nikolai said.

(Flashbacks)

"Okay, everybody got all their stuff. Let's save Christmas." They leave the house, as Thomas/Nikolai gets out from the stairs.

~

"Being an intern was the perfect cover."

As they're loading the machine, Thomas' watch beeps and he went back inside and gets back stuck between the stairs, and put a Christmas declaration around his neck, as the others got back. "Thomas!" Benson shouted. "No one suspects the intern. We are the lowest rung on the ladder." Nikolai said.

~

"Oh, you're in luck. I know a guy in the rock climbing department." Thomas said. "Your low expectations kept you blind to what was right in front of you."

~

"How are my favorite mother and son doing?" Benson asked. "Fantastic Benson." "Thomas' mom" said. "Hey, Benson, could you tell me how the park electrical grid works again?" Thomas asked. "Sure. The first thing you got to know about is the breakers." Benson said. "Uh, could you talk into the pepperoni?" Thomas asked, hiding a smirk. "The first thing you got to know about-"

~

Nikolai was walking down the hallway until he hears Mordecai's and Rigby's voices say (Y/n)'s name, in curiosity, he walks toward their door and opens it silently, eavesdropping on their conversation. "Rigby, I need to talk to you." He said. "It's about (Y/n)." He said. "She ended up knocking that guy down with those anime like powers she had back when GFB. Jr. was controlling her. I thought they'd be gone by now since he gave them to her, but she still has them?! Why?!" Mordecai asked, and Rigby sighs, then looks back at Mordecai. "He didn't give them to her." Rigby said, and this shocks Nikolai. "Wait... what are you talking about?" Mordecai asked quietly. "Mordecai, I have something to tell you." Rigby said with a serious tone, and Mordecai raises an eyebrow at him. "Remember back when we were changing the book of Park Records,

and I found (Y/n)'s page?" Rigby asked, and Mordecai's eyes widen. "Yeah..." he said. "And what I saw freaked me out so much I couldn't tell you?" Rigby continued. "You still remember that?..." Mordecai asked cautiously. "What did you see?" He asked. Rigby tenses, before looking at the ground with a sigh, then taking out the book. "I could tell you, but you wouldn't believe me, so you'll just have to see for yourself." He said. Mordecai's eyes widen, but then he sighs and takes the book,

after reading it, he gasps, and drops the book. He tenses, and his hands clutch into fists. "Mordecai?" Rigby asked uneasily. "I... I can't believe this..." he trails off, then turns to glare at Rigby. "Experimented on, from another dimension..." he said, anger rising in his voice, and Nikolai was even more surprised. Later, he looks at the Park Of Records book himself, learning all about (Y/n), including her powers. "No... this can't be... ugh!" He angrily throws the book off of the desk. He clenches his fists, trying to conceal his emotions as a few tears fall from his eyes. "God damn it!" He then takes a deep breath, sighs, and takes out his phone. "Mom, I figured it out. That source of power I've been searching for, comes from an employee at the park. How should I proceed?"

(Flashbacks end)

Natalia talks to someone on the earphone. "Yes. Romanoff, we have them now. Yes. He's here." She said. "Thomas, how could you do this to us? To (Y/n)?" Mordecai asked. "Yeah, man." Rigby said, shedding a tear of betrayal. "I... I didn't want to-" Nikolai began, and the duo could have sworn that they saw slight tears in his eyes, but Natalia grabs his right arm rather tightly. "Quiet, Nikolai! Goodbye." Natalia said, and they leave the room. "Natalia, what did the commander want?" Nikolai asked. "That's on a need to know basis, Nikolai. Let's move."

~meanwhile~

"We just want validate units. We have certificate." A Russian spy said. "Uh, we don't need any bro." Muscle Man said. The spies get the column and tries to break the door down twice, as they tried to knock it down the third time, Muscle Man opens the door, and they went in and got hurt, and Muscle Man knocks him out. "Let's find Mordo and Rigs." They run to find Mordecai and Rigby, but they see something.

"Get down!" Muscle Man said. They see their friends tied up and then a van shows up. "Anatoly. Pleased to make acquaintance. Special delivery." Anatoly said. "Get in van!" Natalia said. Nikolai reveals a control box from his duffel bag. Rigby gasps  "I knew it!" He shouted. Nikolai puts his thumb on the control box. "Identy verified. Welcome Nikolai." The computer said. "Arming system." He presses a button and the whole park is scanned. "Perimeter armed and secure. Anatoly, did you pick out an album?" Nikolai asked. "Covered, boss." He walks off to put a mixtape in the van. "Phase 8 in 10, 9, 8..." Nikolai said.

"What's Phase 8?" Rigby asked. "7, 6," the 1991 Russian National Anthem plays through some speakers. "5, 4, 3, 2, 1!" He presses two buttons, there are multiple explosions on the ground, church domes, Russian icons and CCCP rockets grow through the ground, some police cars are driving towards the park, but stop as it flies into the air, it begins to fly towards Russia. Everybody but Nikolai, Natalie and Anatoly scream. "We are headed to mother Russia, there, you will be put into a hard labor camp. Forced to do unskilled, demeaning labor for the rest of your lives! Which, come to think of it, isn't too different from your lives now." Nikolai said.

"Nikolai! New orders from Romanoff!" Natalie said. "I'll be up top, controlling the park! And keeping an eye on the prisoner." Nikolai said. "We must get in the chopper!" Natalie said. "Anatoly will ensure your safety on the ground!" Nikolai jumps into the chopper. "We gotta stop this and save (Y/n)!" Rigby shouted. "Set us free!" Mordecai shouted. "Set you free? I'll set you free, at bottom of sea!" He laughs, and everybody screams. Meanwhile, there's a summit between the Americans and Russians. "Mr. President, sir! Something you need to see, sir! It's a matter of national security!" He shows him a tablet showing the park moving towards Russia. "Our radars have detected a hgiant land formation, flying towards the Russian border! And it also seems they've gotten their hands on whatever power they were going after." He said. "What? What does this mean?"

President Davis asked. "I'll tell you what this means! The Russians are stealing a piece of America! And are probably going to use that power to attack us!" McMurphy shouted. "What? You insult us with these accusations!" Premier Koshkov shouted. "I'm afraid we're going to have to take action, sir! If our land reaches their border, the Russian military will intercept it and we'll never get it back!" A guy shouted. The two country leaders stare at each other.

Back in the van...

"Ahahaha!" The driver laughs. Rigby uses the sprinkler he found and cuts off his rope. "Shh!" Anatoly looks in the mirror. "HEY!" Skips breaks the ropes. "Stop trying to escape! Tie yourselves back up!" Then they hear a horn and look back to see Muscle Man and High Five Ghost driving the cart. "Muscle Man & Fives!" Rigby shouted. "What? No! Stop trying to rescue them!"

Rigby opens the door. "Muscle Man!" He shouted. "You gotta jump for it bros!" Muscle Man shouted. "No! Don't jump for it, bros!" Benson jumps to the cart. "AAAARG!! Stop jumping for it! I'm gonna get fired!" Mordecai jumps to the cart as Muscle Man steps on the breaks as the Russian driver is in the van falls down.

"I should have stepped on break before going off this clii.." He goes underwater and it kills him. "He's got a point." Muscle Man said. "So what's the plan now? How do we save (Y/n) and stop this thing?!" Skips asked. "(Y/n)'s in trouble?" Muscle Man asked worriedly. "Thomas, or should I say "Nikolai" kidnapped her!" Rigby shouted. Muscle Man clenches his fists. "Oh, he's gonna pay for that, bro!" He shouted. They look up at the chopper. Inside Nikolai was stilling holding the control box controlling the park.

"I bet if we can take that control box away from Thomas, we can turn the park around. And maybe we can still reason with him, it seemed like he didn't actually want to go through with this." Rigby said. "But how do we catch that chopper?" Mordecai asked. "I know how." Pops said. Mordecai, Rigby, Benson and Pops are all in Carmenita driving up to the chopper. "Status report, private!" The commander shouted. "At this rate, the landmass with reach Russian airspace within the hour, sir!" He replied. "Great Scott!" The commander said.

Meanwhile (Y/n), Nikolai and Natalie in the chopper. (Y/n) was in the back in handcuffs. She was just staring at the ground without a word. "As an intern, I was pranked mercilessly, those Americans could be jerks! (Y/n) was actually the one who always had faith in me..." Nikolai said the last part quietly, he looked back at the chipmunk who was staring at the ground, she didn't look up to face him and he frowns, feeling guilty for betraying his best friend. There was no way she'd ever trust him again. "Well you don't have to worry about that now, because they're dead! As for your girlfriend here, we'll take her to the lab and run some experiments on her." Natalia said, and Nikolai's eyes widened in fear. "What?! Experiment?! That wasn't the plan! You guys told me you wanted to get rid of her powers, not use them!" Nikolai  shouted. Natalia smirks and leans close to Nikolai, grabbing his chin in a taunting manner.

"And it's funny how you actually believed that." Natalia said, and Nikolai's eyes widen, then he shoves her back. "You tricked me! You can't experiment on her! She's been through enough of that already!" He shouted with rage. "Oh, and just how are you going to stop me, Nikolai?" Natalia asked tauntingly. Nikolai growls, and clutches his fist, then hears Carmenita's horn, looks behind him and sees that Mordecai, Rigby, Benson and Pops are in the car, and turns to see them flying over and grins, happy they weren't really dead.

"Maybe I can't stop you, but they can!" Nikolai said, gesturing to their car. "Come on, Pops! Bring us in, close!" Benson said. Pops drives closer to the chopper, Mordecai, Rigby and Benson jump out while Pops drives off, Natalie starts to clap slowly again. "Two slow claps in one day! Must be doing good, Americans! But not good enough!" She said. Nikolai growls at her. "You're not stealing our friend!" Benson shouted. "Or our park!" He shouted. "You don't know how right you are." Natalia said. "Yah-uhh-what?" Nikolai asked her in confusion. "We are not stealing the park. I wonder if you remember US/Russian Nuclear Arms treaty? Treaty says we cannot fire Russian weapons on American soil. This is rule. But, what if we don't fire Russian weapon at all? What rule do we break then, hmm?" Natalia asked.

"What are you saying?" (Y/n) asked. "Even now, we approach the Mother Land! On coast is secret missile base! They will give order and the most powerful destructive missile in Russia, will be placed right in the park's fight path! And trustily, we bring America to missile!" Back at the summit, everybody is complaining. "This is an act of aggression!" President Davis shouted. "Admit it! You're going to blow up America piece by piece!" Clifton shouted. "We cannot help it if Americans are throwing their country onto our warheads. Typical act of American passive-aggression." Premier Koshkov said. "This is a violation of the treaty!" President Davis shouted. "How? We aren't firing any missiles!" Premier Koshkov shouted. "Why are you hitting yourself, America?" Karpov asked. "Well, he's got us there, Mr. Davis!" McMurphy said.

"Wait, aren't you blowing up part of your own country in the process?!" President Davis asked. "Meh. It's a big country." Premier Koshkov said, and everybody complains. "I can't believe this! Natalia, I never wanted to hurt anyone! And I especially never wanted to betray (Y/n) like this!" Nikolai shouted. Natalia leans in close to Nikolai again and he growls at her. "Aw, why? Does the big and tough Nikolai have feelings for this girl? Are you in love with her, Nikolai? Are you?"

She teased, and he growls again, almost getting ready to punch her. "So what if he is?!" Rigby snapped angrily. "Grr! Natalie, I'm sorry, but you're taking this too far! This ends now!" Benson throws his fist towards her, but she crunches it. "Ow-ow-ow-ow! First my heart, and now my hand!" He shouted. "Thomas! Come on, man! I know you're a Russian spy but you're also our friend! You must have enjoyed yourself a few times. And I know how much (Y/n) means to you! I know you don't really want to hurt her!" Rigby shouted. "You're right." Nikolai said, and Natalie slaps him. "Do not be a fool, Nikolai! They treated you like dirt!" She slaps him again. "Lower than dirt!" And again.

"Stop!" (Y/n) shouted angrily, glaring at her. "You're right. I know interns have terrible lives, but come on! I barely felt comfortable speaking around you guys! The only one I actually felt comfortable around was (Y/n)! Why do you think I never said more than four or five words at a time?!" Nikolai asked. "We thought you were just boring!" Rigby shouted. "And that isn't true! Sure it was like that at first but you warmed up to us, Thomas!" (Y/n) shouted. "I know you care about us! And we care about you too! You may be a spy, but the friendship you have with us is real, Thomas!" (Y/n) shouted. "I..." Nikolai starts to look overwhelmed. "She's right! Try to remember dude! We had some good times!" Rigby said. "Good times." Nikolai begins to remember. "But all my years of training! I-I can't." He said.

"Dude, you risked your life to save us, and (Y/n). You saved our park!" Rigby said. "I did, but-" Nikolai said. "And not just that, Thomas. I never got a chance to tell you earlier, but we were going to ask you to join the park full-time today." (Y/n) said. "Yeah, man! We didn't want to see you go! You're our buddy. Doesn't that mean anything to you?" Rigby asked. "Yeah, it does. Being buddies means something. And the park means something!" He turns the park around, then walks over to (Y/n) and unlocks her handcuffs, then takes them off, and she smiles at him. "Nikolai! What are you doing?" Natalia asked.

"I'm turning the park around and freeing my friend! You used me, Natalia! These guys may not be perfect, but they're the only friends I've got." Nikolai said. "Yeah! Way to go, Thomas!" Mordecai shouted. "No!" Infuriated by Nikolai's betrayal, she kicks the control box out of Nikolai's hands, this pushes the park closer to Russia, she then grabs (Y/n) by the tail. "Ow! Let me go!" She shouted. "(Y/N)!" Nikolai runs towards her, but she kicks him off, and kicks him in the face, "let her go!" Nikolai trips her over, causing her to drop (Y/n) and the control box. Nikolai then goes to turn the park around. "Come on!" He said. "Imperialist Dog!" She runs towards him.

"Thomas look out!" Mordecai shouted. "THOMAS!" (Y/n) shouted worriedly. "No!" She kicks Thomas into the controls, tilting the chopper. "LEAVE HIM ALONE!" (Y/n) jumps onto Natalia and bites her arm, and when she tries to get her off, (Y/n) kicks Natalia in the face, causing her to lose her balance, and she falls into the ocean, where a whale eats her alive, killing her. "Natalie!" Benson shouted. "Dude! She tried to kill us!" Mordecai shouted. "I think we could have worked it out!" The Control Box falls out. "The Control Box!" Nikolai shouted. "I'm going for it!" Rigby jumps out. "Rigby!" Mordecai, and (Y/n) shouted worriedly. He goes to grab the control box,

but at the same time (Y/n) grabs him. "Hit the red button!" Nikolai shouted. "Agh!" Rigby hits it and the park stops just before it would have hit the missile. (Y/n) pulls Rigby up, but just then the plane tilts, causing everyone to slip and Nikolai to fall out, grabbing onto a skid of the helicopter. "THOMAS!" Everyone shouted, and (Y/n) quickly runs toward him. "(Y/n), no!" Rigby shouted. Nikolai was holding on desperately,

and (Y/n) reaches down and offers a paw to help him back in. "Thomas! Grab my hand!" She shouted. Nikolai looks at her in surprise, then looks away. "Why are you helping me? I hurt you, (Y/n)! I betrayed you!" He shouted, looking away from her as tears struck his eyes. "So what?! You made things right in the end by helping us get the park back! You're not a bad guy, Thomas! Now just take it!" (Y/n) reaches her paw out further. Nikolai shakes his head. "I don't deserve your mercy!" He shouted. "Would you quit being so damn stubborn?!" (Y/n) asked furiously. "Take my hand!" Nikolai continues to shake his head, but then looks at her and sighs, and reaches forward, grabbing her paw and (Y/n) pulls him back in.

At the summit, the Russians are all looking angry, while the Americans are celebrating, the park turns around. "USA! USA! USA!" The Navy Men chanted. The park crashes back down in its original location. The group coughs. "USA! USA! USA! OOOHHHH!" They all said, then laugh. "Awesome work, Thomas!" (Y/n) said. "No problem! And thank you all for showing me that friends matter more than a silly KGB job!" He replied. "You know, the offer still stands, we'd love to have you work at the park." (Y/n) offered. "I'd love to, but, once a spy, always a spy." He replied, and (Y/n) frowns.

"O- oh... yeah, I guess so..." she said. "(Y/n), I'm so sorry. I never met to hurt you, or betray you. If I had known their true intentions I would have never...." Nikolai looks away from her as he sheds tears, as if he were trying to hide them from her. "Thomas, it's okay." She said softly. "Besides, like I said, you made everything right again. I forgive you, Thomas, or should I say... Nikolai." She said playfully, then playfully nudges him, and he chuckles. "Yeah." "Also, you're pretty much a traitor in both countries." Rigby said. "Pretty much, yeah." Nikolai said. "So... you're leaving?" (Y/n) asked, she sounded heartbroken. Nikolai turns to her. "I'm sorry (Y/n), but I don't have a choice. I can't risk putting you in any more danger than I already have." Nikolai said, his eyes then fill with tears again.

(Y/n) frowns. "Is this the end of Thomas?" Pops asked. "The end? Heh-heh! No! I will forever be on the run. Living on the land, hiding in the shadows, forever watching, forever listening, like some, land-living, shadow-hiding, watching, listening guy." He said, and (Y/n) giggles. "Oh look! The sun is rising." He looks behind him at the park workers. "I guess this is it." Nikolai said as he approaches her. "I'm really going to miss you." (Y/n) said. "Yeah, I... I'll miss you too." Nikolai said. "Goodbye (Y/n)." He said. "Goodbye, Thomas." (Y/n) said. Thomas starts to leave, but (Y/n) quickly grabs him and pulls him back, catching him off guard. "Wait, Thomas!" He turns to face her. "I need a longer goodbye than that!" She said. "Me too." (Y/n) then hugs him tightly.

His eyes widened in surprise, but he quickly hugs her back. (Y/n) sheds a few tears during the hug. Nikolai looks at her and sheds a few of his own. "I love you, Nikolai." (Y/n) said. Nikolai smiles. "I love you too, (Y/n)." He said. "Ooh! I knew it! I knew it, boom!" Muscle Man said, the two part from the hug and chuckle. "You'll still come and visit me sometimes, right?" (Y/n) asked. "Oh, of course. There's no way I could just leave you forever, (Y/n)." Nikolai then tries to leave, but (Y/n) blocks his way. "Uh (Y/n)..." Nikolai said. "Oh right, you're leaving... I uh... I was just..."

"right..." Nikolai tries to leave, but (Y/n) ends up blocking his way multiple times. The duo then move rather awkwardly as they try to get past each other to no avail, and instead keep bumping into each other. "Oh right sorry... I..." (Y/n) said. "No... no... I..." Nikolai said. The guys look at each other and smirk knowingly. "I should just, heh heh heh..." (Y/n) and Nikolai move to the opposite side. "Thank you all" Nikolai runs off, and knocks out a CIA Agent then jumps into the bushes. The park crew tearfully look on. "Dasividaniya, Nikolai! You'll always be Thomas to us." Rigby said. "Yes, yes he will." (Y/n) sheds another tear. "Are you okay, (Y/n)?" Mordecai asked softly, and the guys look at her worriedly. "I... I need some time alone..." she walks away, shedding more tears.

~Time Skip~

"You want us to what?!" Benson asked Rigby in shock. "Keep this a secret! From (Y/n)." Rigby said. "Rigby, have you lost your mind?! What makes you think doing something like this is even remotely a good idea?!" Benson asked angrily, and Rigby sighs. "Look, I understand where you're coming from, but sometimes protecting someone means keeping secrets. We're doing this for her own good." Rigby said. "Her own good, or yours?" Benson accused, glaring at him. "Yeah, Rigby, I don't think this is such a good idea." Skips said with a warning tone, his arms crossed.

"I mean, she's going to find out sooner or later, especially after everything that happened with Thomas." Skips said. "NO! We can't let her know and that's final!" Rigby shouted desperately. "What are you so afraid of, bro?" Muscle Man asked, and Rigby sighs. "If she finds out the truth it could destroy her! We got pretty risky with that because of Thomas, but luckily she didn't seem to believe him, I still don't think she does. Plus, if she finds out she's from another dimension she might leave us! I'm NOT going to let that happen! I can't lose her!" Rigby shouted. Benson sighs, catching everyone's attention. "I still just can't believe any of this! (Y/n) being from another dimension? It sounds ridiculous!" Benson shouted.

"Yeah, it's pretty hard for me to believe too." Pops said. "I just don't think that lying to her is the best way to go about this, Rigby. I mean, if she finds out, she's going to hate us." Benson said. "Yes, I can't bare the thought of lying to her." Pops said sadly, looking downcast. "Yeah bro, this is messed up! Even if this hurts her, (Y/n) deserves good friends that tell her the truth. Not a bunch of backstabbers." Muscle Man said. "It's not backstabbing! It's not like we're doing what Thomas did!" Rigby shouted.

"We're doing this to PROTECT her! So that justifies it, doesn't it?!" Rigby shouted, but everyone else frowns at each other, still not wanting to go through with it. "Please guys, she CAN'T know! She can't!" Rigby shouted. Benson sighs in annoyance and face palms. "UGH! FINE, Rigby! If we keep it a secret will you please shut up?!" He asked angrily. "Wait, so we're actually going through with this?" Fives asked in disbelief. "It's for the best, Fives!" Rigby snapped. He didn't respond. "So, are we all in agreement?" Rigby asked. There was a long uncomfortable silence. "Fine. But I don't agree with your methods here, Rigby." Skips said in disapproval. "Me either, bro. It's not cool." Muscle Man said. Benson sighs.

"If she does find out, good luck trying to explain it to her." He said, before walking away. Fives sighs, and Pops looked close to tears. "Geez, guys, lighten up! What's worse? Lying to (Y/n), or losing her?" Rigby asked. Muscle Man groans before storming out, along with Fives. Rigby turns to Pops. "Pops, you promise me you won't say anything?" Rigby asked. Pops looks at Rigby silently for a long moment,

but then nods with a frown, and Rigby smiles at him. Pops then walks away without a word. Rigby turns to Mordecai. "Mordecai?" Mordecai turns to look at him slightly. "You're still against this too, aren't you?" Rigby asked. Mordecai doesn't answer at first, but then sighs. "Of course I am. I really want to tell (Y/n) the truth, and so does everyone else, Rigby. I can't believe you're making all of them go through with this." He said. "I know, I'm sorry. I just can't risk her finding out." Rigby said. "Good luck with that." Mordecai then leaves as well, and Rigby was left alone.
