Notes: I seriously didn't think I'd be writing any more Sentinelman stories, but the number of people demanding a sequel was overwhelming. So, here's another one.

Part of this was written after two cups of coffee at work. I do put *lots* of sugar in my coffee. (I won't say how much. It scares people.) The rest is blamed on Girl Scout cookies. Specifically, thin mints. Also, I did not ingest, sniff, smoke, or slather onto my body any illegal or regulated substance while this was written. 

The Sentinelman theme song is based on the original Spiderman cartoon theme song. The finished version doesn't really follow the original song, but hey, it's my works for the story, so pffft. The novelty candles bit is from 'Feet of Clay,' a Discworld book by Terry Pratchett. 

Now then, some people may not like my portrayal of the AU version of Cassie Wells. Let me state here that I personally don't like or dislike her. The portrayal just seemed to fit the rest of the story. I mean, come on, I wrote Jim as a man who jumps into a room wearing tights and posing manly.

Reading the first Sentinelman and Anthro Boy adventure could help with this, but isn't necessary. Oh, and I personally don't think this is as good as the first one. But, if you like it, I do have an idea for another sequel, possibly more. (I've created a monster!)

Not beta-read.

Warnings: There is a shiny, metallic cloth used in this story! In the same place as a member of the bomb squad! (This is courtesy of Jennifer. Blame her for putting the idea in my head). Other rampant silliness present. 

Sentinelman and Anthro Boy: The Legend Continues
by Ninjababe

When we last left our intrepid heroes, they had been captured by Mr. Gadget and suspended above a vat of boiling wax. Will Sentinelman and Anthro Boy escape, or are they about to become the world's largest novelty candles? Stay tuned.

Sentinelman, Sentinelman 
Does whatever a sentinel can 
Can see a bad guy any size 
Catches maniacs just like flies 
Look out! Here comes the Sentinelman.

Is he alone? Gracious, no 
He's got Anthro Boy by his side 
Can he smell crime while in bed? 
Take a look overhead 
Hey there! 
There goes the Sentinelman.

In the chill of night 
At the scene of a crime 
Like a streak of light 
He arrives just in time

Sentinelman, Sentinelman 
Nice and friendly Sentinelman 
Wealth and fame 
He's adored 
But he has Anthro Boy as his reward 
Look out, here comes the Sentinelman!

In the chill of night 
At the scene of a crime 
Like a streak of light 
He arrives just in time

Sentinelman, Sentinelman 
Nice and friendly Sentinelman 
Wealth and fame 
He's adored 
But he has Anthro Boy as his reward 
Look out, here comes the Sentinelman!

To him, life is a great photo op 
Where ever there's a camera 
You'll find the Sentinelman!

And Anthro Boy!

"How are we going to escape, Sentinelman?" Anthro Boy asked, struggling with his bonds.

"I do not know my loyal sidekick. But we will get out of this," Sentinelman replied, doing his best to  pose while his hands were handcuffed behind him. His efforts were further hampered by hanging in mid air over bubbling wax.

"I see you both have seen the futility of escaping your bonds," Mr. Gadget (no relation to Inspector  Gadget) cackled gleefully. "Now then, it's time to die."

Sentinelman and Anthro Boy struggled hopelessly against their bonds as Mr. Gadget reached for the  lever holding them in midair. Suddenly, a purse whacked Mr. Gadget over the head and he fell senselessly to the ground. 

A woman with red hair and wearing a black and white sailor suit stepped out of the shadows. "I'll get  you down in a moment. Just let me find my liquid nitrogen capsule for my inhaler," she muttered as she dug around in her utility  belt.

"Who are you?" Anthro Boy asked, the jaunty little cap of his Peter Pan type outfit slipping over his  eyes.

"I am Sailor Asthmatic," she replied proudly as she pointed her inhaler at the vat of wax and pushed  down on the canister. Soon, the wax went from boiling to solid. Sailor Asthmatic then pulled the lever Mr. Gadget  threatened to pull earlier. This caused Sentinelman and Anthro Boy to fall onto the solid wax, where they had to wait for the woman  to release them.

"Where did you learn to pick locks?" Sentinelman asked suspiciously as Sailor Asthmatic pulled a pair  of lockpicks from her purse and started to work on the two heroes bonds.

"I took a course in college," Sailor Asthmatic replied as she finished working and helped Anthro Boy  stand up.

"Well, thank you miss for your assistance, but we must be on our way," Sentinelman replied coldly, not  liking the way Sailor Asthmatic was looking at *his* Anthro Boy.

"Oh no you don't," Sailor Asthmatic replied, stamping her foot. "I'm going with you. You owe me."

"We could have escaped. I had almost reached my multi-useful swiss army knife," Anthro Boy replied.

"Yeah. You would have been the world's only giant candle holding a super hero knife," Sailor  Asthmatic replied with a snort.

"Fine then. You can come along. And you can fill out the paperwork needed for a superhero bringing  in a super villain," Sentinelman replied with a growl.

"Oh... Um... If that's all you're doing... I'll see you later then!" Sailor Asthmatic replied with a toss of  her head. He quickly disappeared into the shadows, leaving our heroes alone to deal with turning in Mr. Gadget, assassin  for hire and general evil guy.

"You can't really think you'll get away with this! As soon as Sentinelman hears about your escape, he's  bound to find you and stop you," Joel Taggart, CEO of Acme Explosives, growled at the muttering, wild eyed man at the lab  table across the room from him.

"Do hush, you'll ruin my concentration. And I don't want you dead yet," Professor Lash, mad scientist  extraordinare told the bound man calmly before going back to his formula. "Soon, your mind will be my play toy, and I will  own Cascadeville."

"You are insane if you think I'm going to help you or that any potion you concoct will actually make it  possible for you to rule the city!" Joel Taggart exclaimed.

"We shall see. As soon as this batch of Golden compound is ready, we shall see," Professor Lash  replied calmly.

Pushing his viking helmet back from falling into his eyes, Anthro Boy turned to Sentinelman. "Are you  sure this is where Professor Lash's secret hideout is?"

"Yes Anthro Boy, I am," Sentinelman replied, fixing the clasps of his cape in preparation of his  entrance.

"How do you know?" Anthro Boy asked in reply as he scratched his left forearm. The inside of the  shield he was wearing was itchy.

"The big sign in front saying 'Professor Lash's secret hideout' pretty much gave it away for me."

Making sure the rest of his armor was in place, Anthro Boy inquired, "But, how do we know it isn't a  trick?"

"I'll listen in with my super duper senses to make sure if that will make you feel better," Sentinelman  said with a sigh.

Anthro Boy nodded happily and vigorously, which caused his viking helmet to yet again fall over his  eyes.

After scanning the building thoroughly, Sentinelman nodded. "He's there. And he's got a prisoner. Let's  go."

"I'll meet you there. I have to change," Anthro Boy stated, running for the nearest phone booth.

With a shake of his head, Sentinelman ran off to confront Professor Lash.

"And, all I have to do is throw this switch, and you're atoms and the atoms of the golden compound  will combine. And, I'll have complete control!" Professor Lash giggled insanely.

"Stop right there evil doer!" A manly voice said loudly among girlish giggles.

Professor Lash whipped around to see Sentinelman carrying a scantily clad super model.

"Sentinelman?! And what *has* happened to Anthro Boy? I know he likes to disguise himself to blend  in, but I never knew he could disguise himself *that* well!" Professor Lash asked, chuckling to himself.

Sentinelman grimaced and let the bombshell of a woman stand on her own two feet. "Just the  obligatory babe of the week appearance. It's part of my superhero contract. Ah, here's Anthro Boy now!"

Anthro Boy ran into the room, wearing a Starfleet uniform and glaring at the babe of the week.  Looking undaunted, she gave Sentinelman a kiss on the cheek and sauntered out of the room.

While Professor Lash watched the super model depart, Anthro Boy took out a handkerchief and  cleaned the lipstick off of Sentinelman's cheek.

"Yes, I know Anthro Boy, I'm in trouble and will have to be punished," Sentinelman sighed  dramatically. "What a hardship. Could you say the speech so we can bring this lunatic to justice and start the punishment?"

Anthro Boy nodded before turning to Professor Lash. "You have shown aggression toward our  people, you must be detained and dealt with immediately. To be or not to be is not the question in this situation. The question is, do  feel lucky? Well, do you punk?"

Professor Lash curled his lip in contempt. He suddenly reached out and pulled the lever of his  nefarious machine. A bright gold light appeared and when it cleared, Joel Taggart had transformed.

Now, he wore a three piece suit and a cowboy hat, both made of gold lame. Giggling manically, he  freed himself from his bonds. Using the abilities that Professor Lash's machine gave him, Joel Taggart, now Gold Lame Man,  turned the back wall into yards and yards of material, creating an escape route for him and the evil mastermind of the plot.

"Good luck catching us Sentinelman! The minute you get near us, Gold Lame Man will turn you into  fabric!" Professor Lash cackled before running off.

"What do we do now Sentinelman?" Anthro Boy asked, wide eyed.

"We figure out how to reverse the process. Looks like my punishment will have to wait," Sentinelman  replied with a soft sigh before turning to examine Professor Lash's machine.

"There are reports pouring in from all over Cascadeville tonight of a man dressed in gold lame and a  madly cackling professor committing petty and not so petty crimes. Everything from redecorating homes to robbing the  Cascadeville First National Bank has been attributed to these two criminals. Who will stop this crime spree? Sentinelman, where are  you?"

"They're really going for broke," Sentinelman stated from under Professor Lash's machine, listening in  on the news he had turned on for background noise.

"Yes they are. Did you find anything?" Anthro Boy asked, glancing at the side of the machine.

"I don't know. This machine is complex. Like nothing I've ever seen. I have no idea how to reverse it,"  Sentinelman replied with a frown.

Anthro Boy pointed to a lever near the back. "Maybe this 'Reversal' switch would do it."

"Anthro Boy, you are a genius!" Sentinelman stated, hugging his sidekick before flicking the switch.  "Now, we just have to get Gold Lame Man to stand in front of the machine, and we can reverse the process, bringing back Joel  Taggart."

"That's going to be difficult." Anthro Boy replied.

"Not really. I'll draw him back here, and you just press the button."

"Be careful Sentinelman! He could turn you into flannel! Or worse yet, velour!" Anthro Boy replied  with a shudder.

"I will be careful, my loyal sidekick. And, I will return shortly!"

"He ran this way!" Professor Lash exclaimed.

Anthro Boy, who had been reading one of his many anthropologist magazines, hurriedly put it away  and got ready to turn the machine on.

"How dare he wave latex at me!" Gold Lame Man exclaimed as he chased Sentinelman back into the  lab.

"Now Anthro Boy!" Sentinelman exclaimed, diving out of the way.

Anthro Boy threw the lever, turning the machine on. 

After a blinding flash of silver light, Joel Taggart stood in Gold Lame Man's place, blinking and  wondering what had happened.

"NOOOO!!!" Professor Lash screamed. "MY BEAUTIFUL DREAM!!"

"Multiple exclamation marks are a sign of the deranged," Anthro Boy told Professor Lash as  Sentinelman handcuffed him.

"And your dream was more of a nightmare," Sentinelman added. "Are you all right Mr. Taggart?"

"Uh, yes. I think so. But, I think I'm going to go lie down now," Joel Taggart replied before wandering  off.

"To the Sentinel-mobile Anthro Boy!" Sentinelman exclaimed before striding from the room.

"I'd follow that ass anywhere," Anthro Boy muttered, doing just that.

Next week on Sentinelman: An armored car robbery leads our heroes on a race against time when it's  learned that the armored car contained the only hope of saving the sanity of a beautiful Russian heiress... a frog beanie baby.  Unless the heiress is able to complete her collection with the doll, which is worth thousands, she'll go stark raving mad. And, with  her money, who knows what she will do.

Will our heroes find the valuable stuffed animal? Or will the unknown super villain behind the cruel and  malicious theft escape? Stay tuned.

Same Sentinelman time. Same Sentinelman channel.
