Summary

Chapter 5 – Roof-Top Rumble

In the fifth chapter of The Bad Guys, the group of animal criminals find themselves in trouble once more. After they have switched bodies with Mr. Wolf, their latest heist backfired. In this chapter, the group of animals plan to escape from the wickedly evil villains The Captain and Steve. The only way to do so is via an old crane attached to the roof of the building they are in. The group split up and each one takes an animal-sized zip line several stories down to the street below.

Mr. Wolf, pig, and snake find themselves in the clutches of The Captain and Steve's assistant, Faith. The trio narrowly escape from the wickedly evil villains using pig's body-swap trick and carefully timed distraction. After plummeting off the several-story roof they flee to a nearby alleyway and meet up with the rest of their animal band.

Despite a very narrow escape, The Captain and Steve aren't far behind. The group of animals are quickly cornered and it's up to Mr. Wolf, Snake, and Pig to put a stop to the wickedly evil villains once and for all. Mr. Wolf and Snake square off with The Captain and Steve, while pig barrages them with clever quips and insults. The trio of animals put on a brave show of defiance until backup arrives in the form of the police. Thanks to the brave bravery of Mr. Wolf, Snake and Pig, The Captain and Steve are arrested and the evil plot is laid to rest.

Chapter 6 – Take Over Twist

The sixth chapter of The Bad Guys finds the group of animals in a street market near the hideout of The Captain and Steve. It turns out that the nefarious villains had been selling products that caused stress and anxiety to innocent animals, and it is up to the Bad Guys to stop them.

However, they soon find their plan in danger when they encounter a new set of villains, The Count and Little Sister. With their mind control serum and their giant robot, they are much more powerful than The Captain and Steve. The gang must quickly formulate a new plan of attack in order to take The Count and Little Sister down.

The plan is simple, they will take over the market and use their collective resources to stop the dastardly duo. Mr. Wolf, Pig, and Snake take the lead and begin to spread the word, getting the animals of the market to join their cause. The Count and Little Sister are outnumbered and soon find themselves outmatched. With the market in their control, the gang can now focus on stopping The Count and Little Sister from carrying out their evil plan. With a remarkable twist, the gang uses the products The Count and Little Sister have already produced against them. The mind control serum is ineffective as the animal population has already become immune. In the end, the gang triumphs over The Count and Little Sister, finally defeating their wickedly evil villains once and for all.
