Chapter I: A Thing for Musicians

Record Store

Tokyo—09:58AM

It was a semi-regular day for the employees as they were preparing everything. This included their store's latest hot product, which was a CD album by a musician.

"Who's this Ricky Mathis chump, anyway?" Employee one with short purple/blue hair asked his friend. In his hands was a box of more albums.

His coworker crouched in front of a 'Ricky Mathis' shelf, stacking the albums. "I don't know, but his fans sure seem to like him. We can't keep his lame, pretty boy single on the shelf."

When the clock turned to 10:00am, the shutter gates were being banged from outside. The employees looked at the door when it opened as a flood of foaming, crazy fans ran inside the building.

"Zombies!"

"It's the end of the world!"

Beverly Hills High School

Los Angeles—12:00AM

The ever-sunny city of Beverly Hills was present for its students who were still rich in life and money. In the halls were three teenage girls walking beside each other.

"So, Sammy, any chance I could borrow your cashmere belly sweater tomorrow?" asked Clover. The blonde female was athletic and slender with white skin and bright blue eye. Unlike her friends' hairstyle, Clover's hairstyle was a personalized bob cut called a coif bob as the rear and sides flared out while the front bangs, a mop which was teased tremendously by one of their friends, come out over the left of her face. Her attire was a red long-sleeved loose collared button-up shirt that showed her belly, pink pants, and red heeled boots.

"Sure, that's what best friends are for," Samantha answered sweetly. She was slim with long red hair and emerald green eyes with a widow's peak. Her clothing was a blue shirt with a large white collar as it covered her body and white shoes. Although she was humble, Sam took pride at her appearance just like her friends except for one. A flower hair pin was attached to her backpack rather than on her hair. She was the mature and brains in the group.

"Hey, what about me?" Alex asked, hurt of being left out. She had short black hair in a curly bob cut, light brown eyes, and tanned/brown skin. Her outfit was a lime green sleeveless top, lilac pink skirt, and tan boots. Compared to her friends, she was the second most athletic in the group in terms of ability and skill.

Clover waved her off, "Don't be crazy, Alex. We can't possibly wear Sam's sweater at the same time. We'll totally stretch it out." She answered if it was fact.

"No, Clover, I meant, aren't I your best friend too?" Alex corrected softly.

"Aw, well of course you are, silly," Clover replied assuredly as she hugged her friend who returned it. "And that's why I'm going to borrow your leopard print sandals tomorrow." She opened her eyes and gasped loudly at her eyes laid upon. A boy with the same hair color as hers and her friend with a guitar.

"Clover, what is it?" Alex asked out of concern. "What's wrong?"

Proverbial lightning struck the dazed Clover as her mouth remained goofy with drool hanging while her eyes turned into hearts.

"Yeah, what's with all the drool?" Sam asked as she waved her hand in front of Clover's face, trying to snap her out of it. Alex meanwhile stared owlishly at her friend's expression.

"I think—I think I'm in love," Clover answered out of breath as she fell backwards into Alex's arms. "Must find out who he is." She instantly ran to the fountain and slid next to the musician. "Hi, I'm Clover."

Meanwhile, her friends watched the scene unfold before them. "Is it me, or does Clover fall in love more often than Mandy maxes out her credit card?" Sam asked her sane friend. "Have you seen him by the way?"

"No, I haven't yet. I called him last night about today's homework, but he said something about retaliation today," Alex responded, a little peeved by the fourth member of their group.

Sam sighed at this, "If he's lucky enough to graduate, I'll be surprised. We're not even in the second month of the semester, and he's already failing. Doesn't he want to go to college?" Alex shrugged her shoulders.

Before Clover could get a 'yes' from the musician, a black-haired girl popped up out of nowhere with a 'what the hell are you doing' look on her face. Speaking of face, she had violet eyes with a mole under the right one, fairly tanned skin and wore a red dress under a white long-sleeved button shirt and white boots.

"Sorry Clover," The girl snobbishly said while shoving aside the musician, almost sending him into the water. "Damien's already got plans after school. He's going to the mall with yours truly."

A blushing Damien rubbishly held his head, "Oh right, the mall."

Before Clover could say anything, the doors slammed opened and drew everyone's attention. It was a gang of teenagers wearing military vests with loaded… paintball guns. The leader stared at the blinking students. "WHERE… IS…. UZUMAKI!?"

"Oh no, what did he do this time?" Clover, Sam, and Alex asked exasperatedly. No matter what, he was always up to something.

"Uzumaki! Come out-" The leader was thrown off his feet and fell on the ground, his face splattered with red and yellow paint.

"Yoo-hoo!"

All eyes looked for the voice belonging to one Naruto Uzumaki, but it was echoing around the fountain area.

"Hiyah, boys! Did you like your gift that an anonymous parent told me to give you?"

"Pies are supposed to be delicious, not…" The enemy teens shuddered before some of them threw up to the side. "You destroyed pies for us!"

"And now your dignity as someone told me to tell you guys," The group of teenagers plus Sam, Clover, and Alex blinked owlishly in response. "Take a look at your feet…" The opposing students complied, and fear instantly paralyzed them as it was a red 'X'. "Oh, and for Beverly Hills students, this is the time for COVER!"

Almost all the students heeded the warning as paintball guns emerged from the grass sections and aimed their laser sights on the nervous teens. "Par—" The paintballs were loose as they splattered against the enemy pranksters' bodies. "Ha…haha…haha…ha." They chorused before falling on their backs.

Popping their heads from behind their hiding spot, the female trio stared at the paint catastrophe. And a bonus point…

"AAHH!" Mandy cried out as she was the unfortunate casualty of Naruto's retaliation. Her clothes were splattered with paint that made her look like the Harley Quinn.

Clover laughed on her belly as Sam and Alex leaned against each other, holding their stomachs from the laughter pains. "I take it you enjoyed that." The girls' eyes were on their fourth best friend. He had spiky blond hair, a dark blue shirt under a scarlet jacket, and blue jeans. He had blue eyes and six weird birthmarks on his cheeks that gave him a fox appearance if he squinted right.

"Naruto, thank you!" Clover said with teary eyes. "That Mandy took my man right from me!"

"Another one?" Naruto asked incredulously. "This is like the tenth boy you fell in love with in a week and a half." He tapped his fellow blonde's temple. "You need help."

Alex giggled at Clover's pout. "So, what did you do to their pies?" She asked curiously.

"You don't want to know."

"Hmm," Sam pursed her lips as she tried to figure out what prank he did this time. "I'll figure it out, Naruto. I always do."

Naruto scoffed at her challenge, "Bring it, but I must warn you that it is something you really don't want to know." He sat down on a nearby stone bench with his friends. "Are we going somewhere after school today?"

"Shopping/Yogurt/Books!" The trio responded happily.

Naruto sighed despondently, "I had to ask. What's so special about this boy?"

"He's a musician," Clover replied lovingly as Naruto sighed at this, "Call me crazy—"

"Crazy with a capital 'C'~" Naruto joked sing-song, much to Clover's annoyance. "You left yourself open to that, come on."

"I just have a thing for musicians. I got to find a way to get his attention of Mandy and onto me," Clover declared strongly as her friends sighed at her statement. Whenever it came to boys, she was unstoppable.

Suddenly, the ground opened up and sucked in the teenagers before it closed with a replacement bench. The screaming teenagers held on to dear life as they slid down the tunnel.

"Is it me, or do missions only occur during times of major personal crisis?" Clover asked with tears in her eyes.

Naruto whooped with his arms in the air, "Look guys, no hands!"

WOOHP HQ

The second 'O' opened as the teenagers landed on the mattress… except Clover as she sat on the metal floor. In front of them was an elderly man in a black suit with balding hair and shaved mustache.

"Well, so nice of you kids to drop in," The man said with a smirk.

Clover rubbed her butt, "Nice for some of us."

"Hey Jerry," Naruto greeted the man with a hand wave. "Where are we going this time?"

One thing they had in common, other than the fact they grew up together since the fifth grade after Naruto moved to Los Angeles, was they worked for Jerry as spies. They conduct secret and dangerous missions around the world, but also maintain typical teenager activities such as school… something Naruto debated since their induction.

The projected screen showed a boy around their age with short brown hair and green eyes.

"Ricky Mathis?" Alex pronounced the name. "Never heard of him."

Naruto shook his head, "Neither have I. Then again, I'm an Oldies kind of man," He stood up and started dancing like the King of Rock until Jerry's blank stare stopped him. "Sorry, continue." He muttered and sat back down while the girls chuckled at him.

"The reason neither of you ever heard of him is because he's an overnight musical sensation," Jerry informed his junior spies. "In fact, as of today, he's only released one single—the optimistically titled, 'Rock Legend.'"

Naruto scoffed at the claim, "One single… a bit of understatement. Then, what's the problem, J-Man?"

"As I was saying," Jerry gave the male a pointed look while Sam covered Naruto's mouth, "The title itself makes it even more unsettling that have been reports of similar occurrences around the globe," Naruto chuckled at Alex's shadow puppets during Jerry's briefing. "Something's up. We're just not sure what."

Upon being caught, Alex gave Jerry a bright smile to display her innocence. "So where do we fit in?" Sam asked her mentor.

"Your mission is to go undercover as the opening act on his tour and find out exactly what it is about Ricky Mathis that makes his fans so fanatical."

The quartet grew excited at the mission parameters, "You mean we get to be in a real band?" Clover asked to be sure.

"A real pretend one," Jerry clarified with placating hands.

"Oh no," Naruto muttered under breath at the implication regarding Clover's mindset.

Clover stood up excitedly, "This is so perfect. When Daimon finds out, he'll toss Mandy like a day out muffin and come running straight to me." She stated while rubbing her hands together. "He'll see me as his musical equal. I'll be irresistible." Naruto and Sam sighed at her, "Now, all we need is a name."

"Actually team, we've already taken care of your name."

Somewhere in the Sky—03:00PM

Aboard the hippie-style painted jet with the band named the Spies were the eponymous fake members remained in the compartment. The fake band and their manager, Naruto, whom was livid about not being one of the musicians were adorned in hippie-style clothing and glasses.

"We're called The Spies?" Sam asked incredulously. "That is so lame."

Alex nodded, "Yeah, totally unimaginative." Jerry was put off as he lowered his sweat-dropped head.

"It was my idea."

The girls straightened themselves as they laughed nervously while Naruto snorted as he turned in his sleep, listening blissfully to Michael Jackson's famous 'Thriller' song.

"Hey, look at these cool instruments," Sam told her friends who got excited seconds later.

Alex sat behind the drums while Clover got the electric guitar and Sam the bass version. As they played, loud discorded notes woke a startled Naruto as he fell off the couch while Jerry's glasses cracked and broke from the soundwaves. He then unplugged the instruments, much to the girls' displeasure.

"Perhaps now isn't the best time for you to practice," Jerry said while holding the plug.

Grumbling, Naruto stood up with a book in his mouth before he spat it out, "Way to ruin my sleep, girls. And FYI, no to future band ideas." He said muffled before tossing the book at Sam who wiped away his saliva with her hands.

"The trap is ready, sir," One of the WOOHP agents whispered to Jerry.

"Oh yes, the gear," Jerry snapped his fingers as a part of the floor opened to reveal a pink guitar case. "This week, you ladies will be utilizing the expendable cable bungee belt, the Wind Tunnel 3000 tornado blast hairdryer, the suction cup bottom go-go boots, the ultra-sensitive earring microphone, and—my personal favorite—a potty."

Naruto snorted behind his hand while he and the others were fitted with parachutes. "I don't think any of us need to go now."

"A what-y?" Alex asked while holding back a snicker.

"No, not a what-y, UPWATI—Underwater Power Walking Apparatus That's Inconspicuous," Jerry clarified before taking up a backpack, "Now, Naruto, your gadgets include a wristwatch computer, thin finger gloves with strong adhesive, a rocket-powered skateboard, a pocketknife with lasers, and you're going to like this last one, but I'll let you field-test it yourself." He tossed the case and pack to Clover and Naruto, respectively. "Now, good-bye and good luck, spies. Or as they say in showbiz, break a leg."

"Why do I have a bad feeeelllllliiiiiinnnggg!" Naruto trailed off when the floor opened as he and his team screamed in surprise. "DDAAAMMMMNNNNN YYYYOOUUUU JJJEEERRRYYYYYY!"

London Hip Hotel—04:00PM

Outside of their hotel where they were staying at, the spies' limo stopped as a gang of fans waited for them. "Wow, look, we have fans already," said an excited Alex.

"I don't think that's for us," Naruto pointed out before the fans grabbed into the limo's frame and started shaking it, "Then again, I could be wrong."

The spies were taken aback by their reactions until a fan realized something about them. "Hey, you're not Ricky."

"That's not him."

The girls sighed in relief while Naruto chuckled at them, "Wow, I guess Ricky Mathis is popular," Sam said the obvious while Clover exhaled deeply. The teenagers went up to their room which had '80s motif such as lava lamps, space-cube chairs, and fur rugs, much to Clover's delight.

"I can't wait to talk to Daimon about this," Clover said before she took off her shoes and laid on the bed with phone in hand. "He'll be so impressed by me."

Sam looked at Alex, "Is that all she thinks about?"

"Are you really surprised? Clover, you can count me being impressed…" Naruto said and Clover listened to him, "At being one of the most persistent boy chasers I've ever met in my life. You're going to set the Crazy Girl record for years to come."

Clover pouted before she called Daimon with the hotel phone. "Hi Daimon, it's Clover. Just thought I'd call to see what's happening stateside."

"I don't know what's going on stateside, but I'm hanging out at the mall. So, what's up with you, Clover?"

Unbeknownst to Clover, an upset and paint-free Mandy was mocking Clover with silly faces and muttering 'witch' with a couple curses.

"Oh, the usual," Clover replied casually as if it was always like she had a band. "My band, The Spies, is touring with Ricky Mathis. We're just hanging out at our extravagant and glamorous hotel in London right now." Meanwhile Naruto was imitating Clover word-by-word with exaggerated acting from a medieval play.

"Whoa, you're touring with Ricky Mathis. I had no idea you were even in a band."

Naruto imitated a bomb explosion with his hands 'blowing up' as Sam and Alex giggled at his actions while Clover grew annoyed, "Yeah, I'm an accomplished guitarist," She replied reluctantly. When Damion suggested to play music together, the blond spy answered, "I could probably squeeze you in next week. I'll let you know, bye."

Sam answered the door when a bell rang, and let in a heavy-set man with long brown hair in a purple loose outfit and square-rimmed glasses. "Can we help you?" Naruto asked the man, engaging as the manager identity.

"You must be The Spies."

"Spies?" Alex responded fearfully, worried that their cover was already blown. "That's crazy. Who told you we were spies?"

Naruto stepped on Alex's foot while Clover nudged her with her elbow, "Yes, that's us, The Spies. We rock," She answered before the man kissed the back of her hand akin to ancient times' manners. "And this is our manager."

"I am Phil Jenkins, the tour manager," Phil introduced himself before he glanced at Naruto, "You seem young to be a manager."

"And you're too old to be wearing purple," Naruto joked back with a smirk. "Times have changed. So, what brings you here?"

"Ricky's anxious to meet you all," Phil informed, seemingly unfazed by the young manager's joke, "What do you say we head up to the penthouse?"

The undercover quartet followed Phil to the penthouse suite and found themselves in the same room with Rick Mathis, the subject of their investigation. He was strumming his guitar as a way to relieve stress during the tour.

"Great song," Sam said appreciatively as the lyrics was great to her.

Ricky looked at his guests, "Thanks, I just wrote it."

"We're schedule to record Ricky's new song tomorrow morning," Phil said to the band and their manager, "I'm sure it's going to be his next big hit."

"We're sure it will be too," Sam agreed with an eye-smile. "We're thrilled to be touring with such great musical talent."

Ricky nodded back at her, "Same here. I just adore your early work."

"We have early work?" Alex and Naruto muttered to themselves while Clover shushed them.

"Hey, you guys should come to the recording studio and hang out. It'll be a blast," Ricky offered to his opening acts.

Naruto perked up at the offer, "That would be great for the girls. They can afford to learn a few things to better themselves in certain areas." Alex and Clover blew their tongues out as they threw raspberries at him, prompting Naruto to respond in kind.

"Uh, right," Phil retorted while Sam hid her head behind a hand. "Anyway, Ricky, your recording sessions are strictly off-limits."

The immature trio quit their debate as Clover slid on the couch next to Ricky. "That sounds great," Apparently, she didn't hear a word from Phil.

"Great," Phil muttered distastefully, "Okay, everybody, we don't want to keep those hungry fans waiting."

As they were leaving, Clover knocked down a CD case and saw the CD glowing as a result. Sam opened the case in her hands and saw its CD glowing as well. "That's weird. Since when do CDs glow?" Sam asked her friends as they left the penthouse for their own suite.

"Uh never," Naruto answered his friend. "How about we send it to Jerry for analysis? The sooner we know about it, the better."

Sam nodded as Alex voiced out her input, "So besides the fact that he has totally crazed fans and glowing CDs, Ricky seems pretty normal to me."

"True, Alex, but you always have to be vigilant," Naruto informed his friend, "Looks can be deceiving. You have to look underneath the underneath like his fans and the tour manager."

"What do you mean?" Clover asked as she snapped out of her daze.

"You didn't notice his soft glare when we insisted to join Ricky on his recordings?" Naruto asked the blonde girl who sheepishly smiled at him, "Do we have to go over this again?" Clover shook her head. "Good because I don't want to waste a weekend to teach you basic observation skills… again."

With that in the bag, the quartet headed to their first pretend concert.

Soho Nightclub—07:00PM

"RICKY! RICKY! RICKY! RICKY! RICKY! RICKY!"

Behind the closed curtains, a nervous Sam and Alex exhaled shakily as they were about to play their first gig. Sam was wearing a pink hat while Alex had on a fluffy yellow hairball wig, much to Naruto's pleasure.

"You girls are going to be my new screensaver," Naruto declared after taking a picture as Sam and Alex became horrified.

"Naruto, this isn't the time!" Sam cried out as she was more nervous than before. Naruto walked to her and grabbed Sam's hands into his hand before slapping them together. "Ow!"

"Better now?"

For some strange reason, it worked as the nerves were calmed. "Yeah, thanks," Sam replied as she watched Naruto do the same to Alex. "Clover, you ready? Clover?" The spies looked to their teammate who sat against a box, listening to music from her CD player. "You're not supposed to be listening to music. You're supposed to be playing it," Sam chastised Clover as she took off one of the earbuds. "Besides I took Ricky's CD as evidence and for analysis."

"Too bad, because I totally dig it," Clover replied, "It's really infectious."

"Why do I have a feeling this will go bad?" Naruto thought as he put the CD away in its case before leaving the stage for the girls to do their gig. As he watched the girls play the music, the male member noticed the instruments were not plugged and his friends were not really singing. "Lip-synching? That makes sense since neither of them actually knows how to play instruments."

"Your friends are good at lip-synching. It took me a while to get it right," Ricky said after walking to Naruto's side.

"You lip sync, Mathis?" Naruto asked albeit a little annoyed. True musicians never need to lip sync, which is why he loves Oldies music. "Let me guess, your manager told you to do so."

Ricky looked a bit shamed at admitting this, "I don't like to, but Phil insisted I don't sing live. I guess I can't argue with success."

"But are you really happy?" Naruto countered and Ricky stayed silent as he contemplated his words, "How long has Phil been in the business?"

"Long enough that he knows what to do."

When the girls finished their gig, Ricky took the stage, much to his fans' crazed pleasure. Naruto relayed the conversation to his teammates who were surprised upon hearing Ricky's lip-syncing.

"So much for the theory about Ricky being normal," Alex stated, a little peeved about Ricky being a fake. "The guy doesn't even sing."

"That's not the only thing that isn't normal," Sam pointed out with crossed arms. "Check that out, team. What do you say we go grab a spy's eye view," She stated firmly.

Alex agreed with her, "Good idea."

"Clover, you coming?" Sam asked her fellow spy.

"Are you crazy? I've got a killer view right here," Clover replied like a fangirl.

"Naruto, what about-" Sam cut off as she was surprised that Naruto wasn't there anymore. "That is so annoying. Where is he?"

"As he says, a ninja leaves no trace," Alex imitated Naruto's voice albeit high-pitched. She and Sam then left the stage while Clover watched Ricky.

As Sam and Alex got past security to the VIP room, they reached the room just as Phil was on the phone with someone. "Yeah, yeah, Mr. Sebastian. Everything is a go for tomorrow's recording session. And I've prepared the special lyrics. Unfortunately, Ricky invited those pesky Spies to come along. We'll have to keep tight security. Huh?"

That's when he noticed Sam and Alex was in the room before turning off his phone.

"Oh, hey, girls. What's wrong? Aren't you having fun?" Phil asked somewhat nervously. He walked to the doors before closing it as a loud 'pop' pierced the girl's ears.

"Hey, I think I've gone deaf," Alex complained while holding her head like Sam did.

"Actually, the booth is soundproof. The noise night after night gives me a headache. I prefer just to watch."

Sam and Alex exchanged suspicious glances while Phil sat on a chair with his phone on the desktop. Unbeknownst to him, one of the vents slightly opened as a web-line ensnared the device and pulled it inside. Moments later, the phone was swiftly thrown back to the desktop without any webbing.

"Thank you, Jerry," Naruto whispered before closing the vent.

London Hip Hotel—09:00PM

The spies regrouped at the hotel and were in the elevator as they recapped everything that their investigation had uncovered so far.

"So, let's review one more time," Sam said to her teammates. "Ricky's fans are nuts. His CDs glow. He doesn't sing and his manager sits in a soundproof booth during his shows."

"Getting freaky~" Alex stated in sing-song. "What do you think, Clover? Clover?"

Naruto stood in front of the dazed Clover and noted the blushed cheeks with her steamy eyes. "Hello, Clover?" He waved his hand rapidly in front of her face. "Clover. Cloverino. Clover the Leprechaun. Clovie." Time for the big guns. "There's an 80% percent sale at that Gucci helltrap you always go."

"I think Ricky was incredible. I mean, he's so talented. I could just listen to him all night," Clover finished lovingly like a young schoolgirl.

"This is serious," Naruto stated as he was taken aback. She'd never miss out a huge sale on lady products.

"I know!" Alex agreed but it wasn't on Clover, "80% off on Gucci products?!"

Both Naruto and Sam sweat-dropped at her naivety.

"Oh wait, you mean that was to snap Clover out of her funk?" Alex giggled as she bopped her head, "I knew that."

"Really?" Sam deadpanned while Naruto incessantly poked at Clover's cheek to snap her out of the love daze. "Will you stop that?"

Ignoring her, Naruto pulled out a black marker from out of nowhere, much to his friend's constant surprise. "Do you think she'll notice?" Cue glare from Sam. "Fine." He put away the marker as they reached their level and entered the suite that served as temporary base.

"Ricky~" Clover sang as she fell on the bed, littered with purple roses that she ignored.

Naruto picked a rose and handed it to Sam, "For you my lady." He joked as Sam giggled and accepted it, placing the rose in her hair on the left side. "Do you think the roses are for you girls?"

"Probably, but this is weird," Sam answered as she sat down with Naruto on the couch while Alex took a chair. "Maybe we should check it out with—"

The TV by their side turned on and revealed the man whom they were just talking about. "Jerry! Impeccable timing as always," Naruto said casually. "What'd you got?"

"And hello to you lads," Jerry answered, "I hope rock stardom hasn't gone to your heads."

"It hasn't so far, but if we keep getting showered with roses, it might," Sam replied honestly while Naruto rolled his eyes.

"Oh, those. They were sent by one Daimon Reynolds."

Naruto looked surprised, "What do you know? Clover's crazy plan to snatch Daimon worked for once…. Is the world ending?" He looked outside for signs of the world's end.

"Clover, the flowers are for you!" Alex shouted at the still-dazed Clover after taking off her earbud. "Daimon sent them."

"Please, now that I'm involved with Ricky, I'm like so over Daimon," Clover answered sweetly as the blush turned darker.

Sam chuckled mirthfully, "How deluded can you get, not to mention fickle. So anyway, Jerry, what can you tell us about a Mr. Sebastian?"

"Yeah, I heard that name when I was the vents. Jerry, did you also analyze the SIM card's data I send too?" Naruto asked as well, ignoring the puzzled look from Sam and Alex, "What? You should know how I operate by now."

"Answering both your questions, Mr. Sebastian's the owner of Ricky Mathis' record label. Apparently, he used to be quite the successful guitar player before he lost his arm in a freak pyrotechnics accident."

Naruto, Sam, and Alex cringed at the accident scene. "He got burned and that ended his career. What's he been doing since then?" Naruto asked the mentor.

"Now he's an eccentric, recluse producer who lives on a remote island off the coast of Brazuela. We decrypted the SIM card's data and found rather unusual numbers of calls between Phil and Sebastian as well to controversial agencies."

"What kind of agencies?" Sam asked while Naruto looked over the data on his wrist watch.

Before Jerry could answer her, the door opened and the television turned as Ricky entered the room, much to Clover's delight.

"Ricky!" Clover ran to Ricky with her hands on his shoulders and a leg back.

"So who's ready to go to my recording studio in Brazuela?" Ricky asked, unbothered by Clover's touching.

Naruto simply walked to Clover and pried her off Ricky with one hand, "That sounds great, but Clover needs her nap right now. When do we leave?"

"Tomorrow at dawn."

"Sweet." Naruto sent him on his way before holding back a jittery Clover who wanted to go after him, "Damn Clover, what's the matter with you?!"

"RICKY!"

Sweat-drops slid on Naruto, Sam, and Alex's heads before the latter two helped their male friend to restrain the other blonde to the bed.

Off the Coast of Brazuela—11:45AM

After a rather lack of sleep from the night before, the team and their target's plane had landed on the island's landing strip. One of the things they noticed was the massive satellite attached to a yacht on the water.

"So I wonder what was up with that strange radio tower thing being strapped to the yacht," Sam voiced her thoughts to Alex and Naruto.

"Better coverage than Verizon's 'Can you hear me now? Good'?'" Naruto retorted, receiving a deadpan look from Sam. "Hey, it's plausible."

Alex gave her input, "Well Ricky says it's so they can broadcast the concert live."

"I don't buy it," Sam disagreed. "Since when you do need guards to watch a satellite dish?"

"And ex-Special Forces on top of that," Naruto inputted as Sam and Alex looked puzzled, "It's their shoes." They looked even more puzzled and a little incredulous. "It's a very distinctive shoe design."

Alex looked at the other window and saw what looked to be a maximum-security prison in design atop the mountain above. "And that is the creepiest recording studio I've ever seen."

"Isolated fortress, many guards, suspicious products and manager, and a former superstar-turned recluse…" Naruto listed off with his fingers, "Yep, this has the hallmarks of a villain layout. No doubt about it."

The quartet and their hosts went straight to the recording room as Ricky sat alone in the recording booth. They watched him play the song until he finished playing.

"That was great, Ricky," Phil praised through the microphone.

Ricky was caught off-guard when Clover's voice spoke afterwards, "Yeah, it was totally excellent." She affirmed with the peace sign.

Cue Naruto, Sam, and Alex's simultaneous face-palms at the antic.

Phil wrestled the microphone and held a gradually frantic Clover back, "Now why don't we lay down the lyrics." He entered the booth while Sam, Alex, and Naruto eavesdropped with their gadgets via earrings and wristwatch, respectively.

"I'm Ricky and I'm your master. Follow me as I spread disaster. Take over the government. Do as I say. I'll rule the world and you'll obey?" Ricky cited the lyrics which confused him given his tone. "Phil, I sort of didn't intend for the new song to be so aggressive. What happened to the lyrics I wrote?"

"Ricky, trust me. I know what I'm doing. These new lyrics will give your song that hip, edgy feel the kids are so wild about these days."

"Okay, I'd say those definitely fall under the special lyrics category," Sam said to herself.

"All the lyrics Ricky sings are special~"

Cue Sam's put-off look by Clover's dazed expression.

"Girls, I think it's time to do some real spying," Naruto informed Sam and Alex who nodded. "Let's go."

Alex put up a hand to stop him, "Wait, what about Clover?" She watched Naruto give Clover a magazine that had Ricky's face before the latter kissed it passionately. "Okay, that's just weird."

TDxTDxTDxTD

Hunched over on the ceiling of the hallway were Sam and Alex in their spy uniforms. Sam wore a green catsuit and Alex a yellow colored. They stuck to their position thanks to their suction boots, which they teased Naruto about not getting since he refused to use them. Instead he hid beneath the vented floor and watched a few guards pass by them.

"I just love it when fashion has a purpose," Sam whispered to Alex who agreed. She then became worried when her scrunchie loosened and fell on a guard's head or was about to since Naruto fired a web bullet that snagged the scrunchie back to the ceiling. "Is that what Jerry gave you?"

Naruto emerged from the vent floor as he showed them Jerry's invention. "Authentic web-shooters from the Spider-Man PS4 game. Took months but it was well worth waiting for."

Unlike the girls, he was not wearing a catsuit. Instead he wore a black ninja outfit with armguards where the web-shooters were underneath for stealth reasons, shin guards, and a half-facemask that was currently retracted. On the back of it was his family's swirl crest as it had been that way since the age of Feudal Japan when ninja was high in popularity.

As they walked through the way the guards came, a dead end met them instead. "The secret laboratory's got to be around here somewhere," Sam mused as she looked around.

Naruto tapped the walls to see if they were hollow, but so far seemed to be solid. They caught a break when Alex leaned against a wall and fell backwards when it opened, revealing the laboratory's entrance. "Nice work, Alex," Sam praised with an eye-smile while Naruto gave a thumbs-up.

"Yeah, any time."

As they entered the green room with a tube in the center of it, the trio heard footsteps from the other side and quickly hid: Sam and Alex under a desk while Naruto hid in the ceiling, staying absolutely silent.

"The new Ricky single is all finished," A scientist told Phil after entering the room.

"Excellent."

Naruto looked at the open door and saw an elderly Sebastian with pale hair instead of purple and a mechanical left arm in a white suit. "I knew it." He aimed his wrist watch at Sebastian and began recording.

"The frequency has been successfully added."

Sebastian smiled deviously at the news, "Good. Now let's see the effects firsthand."

Meanwhile, Alex's head poked out of the hiding place before she returned inside. "I take it the guy with the scary hook is Sebastian," Alex whispered to Sam.

"And I take it he doesn't play guitar a lot," Sam retorted.

"And I take it you two should be quiet and listen." Heeding Naruto's words, the girls listened when Sebastian ordered a guard to be the test subject.

When it was over, the guard turned into a hypnotized zombie with the mantra, "Ricky, you are my master. I'll do as you say~"

"You're dismissed," Sebastian ordered him, very pleased with the result.

After seeing the event, the girls retreated into their hiding spot. "Did you see that? It's like—it's like Ricky's song hypnotized that guy or something."

"The frequency they were talking about must be some kind of subliminal mind control device," Sam said after piecing things together.

"And it explains about Clover. She's been acting like this since listening to that CD the night of your gig."

Alex became confused, "Huh?"

"Think about it," Sam told Alex before explaining, "Ricky's first song, 'Rock Legend,' is about rock star worship. And what does it do? It hypnotizes listeners into worshipping him. They do whatever the lyrics tell them to."

Alex finally realized the plot, "So that means if Ricky performs at the concert, the fan will do whatever the lyrics say."

"Alex, you're too loud."

It was too late as a peeved Sebastian lifted the table with his prosthetic hand, revealing the girls. "Security, we have intruders."

"Aahh!" Sam and Alex screamed out.

Suddenly, several web-lines splatted on the men before they all were yanked backwards and webbed against the wall. Sebastian managed to swipe the web before he ended the same fate, but Naruto's face mask extended to cover his mouth much like his favorite Autobot before he yanked himself and kicked down the former musician/villain.

"Run!" Sam and Alex cried out before leaving the room with Naruto behind them.

Sebastian got up and ran to the door, but found a wall of webbing that blocked his path. He pulled out a phone and called the desired number, "Men, head to the stadium. We're about to have unwanted fans crashing the party."

Brazuela Megastadium—08:00PM

The spies traveled to the mainland via water skies although they were missing their fourth member. Luckily, Jerry relayed her location and Clover was also on the mainland inside the stadium, amongst the thousands of crazed fans.

"Of course, she would be there," Naruto muttered after landing from a roll. He watched Alex and Sam sneaked aboard the stage as they informed Ricky about their discovery.

"Girls, what are you doing here?" Ricky asked all nervous, "You're supposed to be out there playing."

Sam scoffed at him, "Well, we would be, except your good friends, Phil and Sebastian, tried to captured us and most likely would have used a hypnotic version of your new song to try to turn us into zombies."

Cue the shocked and blank Ricky.

"Alex, fill him in. I've got to get to that radio tower," Sam ordered Alex before leaving to do so. "Naruto, are you nearby?"

Atop the stadium's highest lights, Naruto fired web-lines at different positions before pulling back as much as they could stretch. "Just about. I'll handle the guards and you disable the machine, two birds with one stone." He laxed his legs as the web-lines slingshot him towards the radio tower.

Naruto rolled forward for added momentum until he got close to a guard. He flipped over his target while grabbing his shoulders and hurtling him to another guard. "Come on!" He taunted the men as they charged him while his facemask covered his mouth once more.

The first guard threw a one-two jab, but Naruto deflected both before he countered with a knee strike to the groin. The proclaimed ninja noticed Alex and Ricky running away from the crazed fans including Clover. Aiming his web-shooters at the crowd, Naruto unleashed a hail of web bullets that collected in front of the stairs like a wall. However, it wouldn't last long due to the vast numbers of fans.

Naruto jumped backwards and avoided a charging guard as the latter crashed headfirst against a crate. Landing, the male spy/ninja swept his leg in a circle, knocking the guards off the feet and punched them away in rapid succession.

"And that's why he's the muscle," Sam observed after seeing Naruto continue to beat the guards. She used her conveyor belt to pull herself upwards to the controls just as the machine activated and sent green radio waves to the satellite in space. Before the spy could do anything, a helicopter hovered behind her with Phil and Sebastian inside.

"Time to get rid of those annoying spies once and for all," Sebastian declared as Phil readied the helicopter's machine guns.

Sam jumped off just as the controls were destroyed and slid down the radio's curved structure. She grabbed her disguised hairdryer and fired a red wind-like blast at the helicopter. Sam smirked after her slide at the aircraft that was being knocked aside into the radio waves' trajectory.

"What's going on?" Sebastian asked worriedly as the aircraft shook tremendously.

"Somehow we picked up the signal of Ricky's recording."

Worry plagued Sebastian, "That's not supposed to happen. Quick, turn the monitors off."

"No, don't shut them off. Ricky's music is so wonderful," Phil said dreamily as he was hypnotized. Sebastian panicked but quickly turned to a happy zombie as he and Phil chanted 'Ricky's our master'. Their crazed chanting left the craft pilotless and it crashed to the ground, but no casualties in the end.

Choke-holding the last guard until the latter fell asleep, Naruto released him and ran to the back of the radio tower before he fired several web-lines. He heaved with his might as the radio tower was starting to be torn off from the truck, but it wasn't enough. With no other choice, Naruto focused on his breathing before he felt a rush of energy flow throughout his body.

Fortunately for him, nobody saw him glow white outside of his skin.

With a mighty heave, Naruto tore the radio tower off the truck and ended the hypnotism. Exhaling deeply, the ninja walked to his friends where Jerry had arrived with WOOHP agents.

"Don't worry, kids. We'll take over from here," Jerry said simply while gesturing his men to secure the perimeter.

Naruto noticed Alex's uniform was torn at the shoulder and right leg, "What happened to you?" He asked her.

"Crazed fans," Alex answered exhaustingly. "Where were you?"

"Guard duty."

"Oh."

The team was offered cups of chocolate while Sam and the still-hypnotized Clover were given blankets. "Good thing you arrived when you did, Jerry. These vicious criminals were just about to force Ricky to autograph their concert T-shirts," Sam joked while Naruto snickered at the teary-eyed Ricky whose fame was destroyed.

Beverly Hills High School

Los Angeles—10:30AM

After the successful mission, the team of spies returned home and it was Friday for them, much to Naruto's pleasure. They sat outside the school during recess as one of them felt down under a tree.

"I can't believe I fell for Ricky Mathis. I'm like so embarrassed." Clover admitted while cupping her chin.

Alex, from her laid down position on the grass, tried to ease her feelings, "Don't be so hard on yourself. You just weren't thinking straight."

"Being hypnotized counts as not thinking straight," Naruto joked while messing with the web-shooters under his sleeves. "Clover, it happens to all of us. Don't let it get you down or I won't give you this coupon to that Gucci place you always go to." He emphasized with said coupon in hand.

And a second later, it was gone while a tiny smoke left Naruto's fingers.

"Thank you! I feel better already," Clover said giddily as she hugged the coupon. "I wonder what I should get."

Sam chuckled, "Luckily the effects of the music wore off, and you're not a mindless zombie groupie anymore."

"Although I do have this picture of her as a zombie," Naruto said as he showed said picture. It was a hypnotized Clover frantically chasing after a crying Ricky. "This is my favorite screensaver."

"Delete that!"

Rolling backwards to avoid Clover's dive, Naruto chuckled as he put the phone away. "So, girls where do you want to go eat?" He noticed a foreign presence approaching them.

"Hey, Clover, you're back," Damion greeted with a smile. "Did you get my flowers?"

"Yeah, I got them," Clover answered nonchalantly.

Her friends quizzically watched them, "So, like, I was thinking maybe we could get together, and you could tell me all about your tour with Ricky Mathis," Damion offered as a date.

"This won't go well for him," Naruto thought internally.

Clover sighed and looked at her crush, "Sorry, Daimon. After the whole tour experience, I'm like so over musicians."

"Ouch," Naruto cringed as a heart-broken Daimon left the group. "Kudos, Clover."

Alex gave the proud Clover a smile, "I'm so proud of you, Clover."

"Yeah, you've finally come to your senses," Sam agreed, smiling at her female blonde friend.

"I just decided that it's really dumb to fall for every guy with a guitar in his hands," Clover stated, showing her growth from immaturity.

Noticing another presence coming their way, Naruto chuckled to himself, "Is that so, Clover?" The annoyed blonde nodded firmly. "Okay then."

"Excuse me, can anyone tell me where the music room is?" The girls turned around and saw a brown-haired boy with a guitar case and blushed cheeks. "I'm new, and I'm kind of lost."

"Three, two, one," Naruto counted down before the 180 occurred in Clover.

Hearts changed Clover's eyes as she fell in love while Sam and Alex face-palmed at her, "I'd be happy to take you to the music room." She quickly stood up and left with the new boy toy.

"I guess this means she's back into musicians," Alex relented as it was hopeless at the moment.

"Something tells me she never got over them," Sam retorted while Naruto chuckled to himself, "And you think it's funny."

The smiling Naruto gave her a thumbs-up, "Of course I do."
