Ford's FF draft


I'm a fan of the Men In Black cartoon, and the concise restrictions of this assignment meant the idea of writing an episode of the show that was about half an hour long seemed like a good idea. So here's a MIB fan fic, it needs heavy editing before it's finished but this is the basic idea.




Agents Kay and Jay had been sent on a mission to find a missing colleague, last heard from in a small town in exactly the middle of a desert.

They had driven into town, seeing no one, and parked the car in the towns square before proceeding on foot to explore the town


‘It’s a ghost town, there’s no one here.’ Jay said puzzled, looking around the towns streets.

Kay pulled a scanner out of an inside pocket and stared at the display as they explored the town further.

Kay replaced the scanner in his pocket and retrieved a small scope, which he held to his eye as he looked up and back down main street, just as a small gathering of people exited what looked to be the only dinner in town.
‘Oh thank god, Hello!’ Jay greeted as the small group of people walked towards them, their eyes glowing brightly.

Kay’s scope clicked through a scanning mode and drew his attention, he saw the highlighted red portions of the approaching group and quickly as he pulled out his gun and opened fire on the first of the crowd.

‘Woah!’ Jay yelled in surprise, ‘You can’t just start blasting people for being all glowy eyed.’

‘Velusian nerve mite’s, they’re not “People” anymore Slick.’ Kay said as he fired upon another aggressor. ‘We have to get back to the LTD and call in air support.’


‘We’re going to bomb the entire town?!’ Jay asked.

‘Orbital strike. Mite’s burrow. First a host, then the planet. They’ll have tunnels all through the earth beneath town.’ Jay says is his usual matter of fact tone.

‘So apart from the glowy eyes what do these mites have in store for us’ Jay asked.

‘They’re strong, but slow, and expel super heated plasma from their mouths’

‘Sounds like a cake walk, just stay out of arms reach.’ Jay exclaimed.

‘Remember, there were 500 people living in this town, it’s not going to be as easy as you think’

The two agents made their way through town, avoiding patrols where possible, there were a few surprises though as occasionally walls around them melted and they were forced to run from sight.

Kay’s communicator beeped in his pocket, and he flicked it open as he pulled it from his pocket with practised actions. Zed was staring at kay from the communicators small screen.


‘Kay, give me a report, where’s Eff?’ Zed barked in possibly the only tone he had.

‘Still missing, probably dead, there’s an out break of Velusian nerve mites. They seem to have a pretty extensive network of caverns under the town too, we’re going to have to level the town.’ Jay’s voice lacked any tone that would have been appropriate given what he had just said.

‘I’ll have the twins move the satellite into position, call back when you’re at a safe distance.’

‘In an hour, toast the town whether we’ve made it out or not Zed, we can’t risk the mites spreading’ Kay said before closing the communicator without a farewell.


‘You just love putting our lives in dagner don’t you?’ Jasy asked as they weaved through back streets, running between buildings.

Along the way, the two agents were stopped in their tracks as they came across Agent Eff, tied and seated in a chair, sitting in the middle of the road. As they moved forward cautiously, Eff looked up to see them approaching and swung his head from side to side, urging them to stop. He had worked the tape off of his mouth and out of the corner of his mouth said ‘Leave me behind, it’s a trap, they’re waiting for you.’

‘We can’t just leave him, he’s not even infected!’ Jay pleaded.

‘I couldn’t agree more, but we have to be careful’ Kay replied as he pulled out his scope from one of his jackets inner pockets and looked at the ground around Eff. He reached into his pocket with his free hand and pulled out his ice gun, aiming carefully at the ground around Eff and started to fire, shot after shot covering the ground around Eff, leaving a small path through the center.

‘It’ll buy you some time Slick, but not long, you better hurry’ Kay instructed.

Jay took a few quick breaths and ran along the slim path before him, the ground around him began to glow and crack as Jay reached Eff, tackling him onto the ice as they slid away from danger to opposing sidewalk.

The street erupted and fell away as a dozen infected townspeople crawled from the rubble. Jay began to slide down the icy rubble, clawing his way back as one of the town folk grab his ankle. Jay turns to see his attacker opening his mouth unusually wide, ‘Oh no you don’t!’ Jay yelled as he kicks his attacker in the cheek, knocking him back and freeing himself for a moment before his attacker turns back, mouth wide and glowing.

Jay is saved as Kay fires his ice gun and Jay’s attacker is encased in ice.


Jay climbs quickly climbs from the pit and pulls out a knife to cut the tape binding Eff to the chair as they both get up and make their way around the hole to meet Kay, firing upon the townspeople in the pit, freezing them in place for a few moments before the ice around them melts unnaturally fast.

The three of them turned and ran, Jay helping Eff, holding him up as they stumbled down several alley ways, waiting out passing patrols and random passers.

Time ticked on as they made their way to the LTD and Jay got nervous, they were reaching the 50 minute mark and he definitely did not want to be there when the hour struck.

Finally they made their way back to the town’s center, waiting in an alley to review their options. They peeked around the corner to see the LTD surrounded. ‘Once around the block?’ Jay asked, to which Kay nodded. Jay sat Eff down on a stair and handed Kay his gun and stepped out from behind the corner.

‘Hey, over here roaches!’ Jay yelled as he ran past, A flock of host bodies in pursuit, leaving a handful behind.


Kay waited till Jay had left from sight and started towards the car, lofting both guns at the small gathering as they turned towards him and advanced. He pulled both triggers in rapid succession and as the two forces met, only Kay was left standing. Eff ambled behind Kay, firing upon any patrols that approached the ruccus.

Kay pressed the button on his keys and the doors unlocked themselves. Eff climbed into the back of the car as Kay stood by the open driver’s door and held both guns prone.

Jay rounded the corner with the horde shortly behind him, and Kay opened fire once more.

‘Hey! Watch it!’ Jay yelled as he covered his head and ran for the car.

They climbed into the car and Kay reversed a small way down the road away from their attackers before Kay spun it around and the left down the main street, running into the occasional towns person.

Jay checked his watch, they had made it out just in time, one minute to spare.

There was a point of light in the sky and a thunderous crash as a beam of light struck the towns center.

Both agents put on their sunglasses as the LTD sped along the desert road, escaping the blast radius of the ever expanding brilliance behind them before Kay pressed a button on the console of the car and it transformed into something barely resembling the LTD it had been and sped forward even faster.




The End.

  1. Hi Ford this is Hazel

    This piece of writing is packed with action and as I read it I could picture all the action which is great, I think your style of writing is pretty cool

    But like for the sentence " Velusian nerve mite’s, they’re not “People” anymore Slick.’ "

    Maybe the word "people" don't need to have a capital letter for it.

    I think this piece of writing has a cool concept, the action is intense like im reading a mission impossible book :)
    But you might want to fix a spelling mistake i picked up on in "you just love putting our lives in DAGNER, dont you" Unless you were ment to say "DAGNER" instead of Danger. but besides the mistake the story is awwwwsome!.
