Gangrene goes into a RAGE “The robots who were sent to capture Ivan have been found blown up and Ivan has escaped. That’s what happens when you send robots to do a humans job.”
Gangrene calmes down and says “I, Gangrene will capture Ivan personally. I’ll message Ivan anonymously on that hill walkers forum he uses.”
Gangrene messages Ivan anonymously on the forum claiming to be a visiting bird watcher who wants to see an osprey and has asked Ivan to guide him.
Ivan reads this message and agrees to meet up. He tells Action Man that he is meeting a fellow bird watcher from England to show him the osprey and that he’ll meet Action Man in the pub for lunch afterwards.
Ivan is waiting for the bird watcher when Gangrene shoots him from behind with a dart gun. Ivan feels the sting of the dart in his arm.
He spins and as he falls he manages to take a photo of gangrene and the robot.
Ivan is lying unconscious on the leafy floor. Gangrene gives out an evil laugh “muahahaha”. He orders the robot to pick him up and carry him back to their base.
The Robot picks Ivan up and starts carrying him through the woods, followed behind by his master, Gangrene.
Action man waits in the pub for Ivan but he does not show. “I don’t like the look of this” he thinks, “I’ll collect Alloy and go and find him. I know he was going to the lake to see the Osprey.” When Action Man can’t find Ivan he commands Alloy to search for him. Alloy quickly discovers Ivan’s scent and the two follow his tracks.
Beside a tree Alloy growls. “What is it fella” says Action Man.
Alloy finds a camera lying in the undergrowth and beeps.
Action Man picks up the camera and looks at it closely.
“This looks like Ivan’s camera” he thinks, “Let’s see what he was taking photographs of”.
The last photograph is an out of focus picture of Gangrene and one of his Robots. “I recognise that evil face” he thinks. “Obviously Ivan’s been kidnapped again, come on Alloy, let’s see where they’ve taken him.“
Alloy recognises the scent, growls and starts tracking Gangrene’s putrid smell.

All outside photos were taken by Ivan.
