Prologue
The second dimension Candace Flynn stroked Perry the Platypus gently with tears in her eyes. She hadn't seem him for so long, and despite the happiness her brothers felt when Perry returned, she had missed him the most by far.

"I missed you," she whispered to him, stroking his metal-plated fur. "I never thought I'd see you again."

He looked up at her and smiled.

"Do you think I did a good job?" She asked quietly.

The platypus nodded. He was so proud of his daughter.

Yes, I said daughter. Candace Flynn, the leader of the Resistance, had a father who was once a cyborg.

This is the story of how Candace became the leader of the Resistance, and how she once thought her father betrayed her.

Chapter One
Candace was nine years old, and hiding under her bed.

She hated being scared. Her daddy was very brave, and outside fighting the Evil, and here she was, cowering under some blankets!

Her father, Perseus Flynn, was the top agent in the OWCA, but it wasn't a secret anymore. Candace had known about it for years, ever since she caught him sneaking into his lair. He had made her promise not to tell anyone, but now everyone knew. The Evil was trying to take over the Tri-State area, and Perseus, or Perry, as he was usually called, was the only person to stop it.

Oh yes, I forgot an important detail. Perseus Flynn was a platypus. He had been one for years, and Candace was used to it. She didn't know how he became one, she was too young then.

Candace suddenly felt much braver, thinking about her father. He was sort of a celebrity in the Tri-State area, since he had saved so many lives already. And now he was going to save the whole city from being taken over.

She decided that she would help her father and crawled out from under her bed. How hard could it be? She was the daughter of the bravest agent in Danville, and she could handle anything.

She dusted off her Dooferalls, ran to the front door and opened it.

Candace took a step back. She couldn't handle this.

Huge, black and red robots were swarming over the town, the sky tinted grey. Her father was nowhere to be found.

Then suddenly, a smaller robot landed gracefully on the porch in front of her, eyes glowing red.

Candace felt a mixture of terror, anger and sorrow. The robot raised its right arm, a weapon attached to it, and aimed it at the little girl.

She slammed the door and leaned against it, breathing heavily. The robot was a platypus. Her father, Persues Flynn.
