So, what's his story?
For the past few months during the promotion of Trenton Morse's campaign, the crime rate has gone up and more missing persons reports have been filed with no results. At least, that's what the public thinks when it comes to Fruitants. It might not be possible to accentuate a positive message towards these freaks, and even if there were, it had to be kept secret, but still the ChewChats Gang found a way. They've moved their hideout hangout to an abandoned nightclub and spruced it up to be the hippest club in the entertainment district, welcoming human and Fruitant alike! Sorbabe is in charge of the place as the DJ (of course), Booster is the bartender, Blabber is the MC and publicity promoter, and Max doubles up on security as the bouncer. Booster's bar is there for a reason - he doesn't sell booze, but something he has worked on for a while. The drinks are actually a more controlled version of what their old friend Voojuice produces, so people who ingest it do turn into Fruitants, but don't experience the slight murderous intentions coming from post-transformation. It's all for a good time, and some say it feels like dancing on an alien planet, and other than the music, it's the main reason ravers and partiers come there! Of course, it's only temporary, and when they're done partying or if they get out of control, visitors turned into Fruitants must take a shot of a special antidote Booster made supplied in a water cooler. (The antidote made from the same soothing elements in their Jellomax Blasters. They're saving some for themselves once Voojuice is banished again... if they can figure out how.) Most people don't remember how they felt, but they still feel good coming to the ChewChat's personal club! But not everyone enjoys being a Fruitant... as proof of one man.

Randall Berry was the son of an Interpol agent, and always admired being in the spy business. But sometimes those admirations landed him in the wrong crowd. When he was 18, he was arrested for ties with a group of juvenile jewel thieves. Ten years later, he was released, and the body he trained at the prison made him well-able as a security guard for numerous high end shops, but always wanted something more in case he wanted to be almost like his father, keeping the peace. He was later appointed as security for a local museum - apparently, some archaeologists were appraising a samadhi said hold a demonic entity that some divers found in the Caribbean. Yeah, that was a story worth buying alright. Even after the object shattered under the full moon (releasing Voojuice), no break-ins were reported. Not even security footage! Randall wasn't fired or anything, but still became the ideal security guard, friendly, but with a strong sense of justice to ensure people's safety during the visits. One particular visit involved rising politician Trenton Morse, who said he was interested in increasing some security of his for the campaign. His choice? Randall. But this would turn out for a whole lot more than what he bargained for.

Randall thought he would be promoted - it's not every day when you get to be government security! Turns out it was something much more... for the worse. It was a facade. Even with based negotiations provided, the room was filled with a mystic gas that Morse was immune to, but it made Randall knock dead. Unaware the mystic gas was produced by Voojuice's right hand Sourhara (the lemon genie), his body was taken away. When Randall awoke, he had slight feelings of euphoria. His muscle mass was doubled somewhat, he no longer had hair on his head, which were replaced with spherical growths, a strap-on monocle, and skin that was a reddish-pink. Randall was now a raspberry Fruitant, and was told by Sourhara that he would do well as the "perfect bodyguard" for when Voojuice returns. That's when he learned the hard way that Trenton Morse is just Voojuice's human appearance! Overcome by this betrayal, he escaped from both their magic clutches using any tools he can put together to make his own spy gear. He still doesn't think it was a good idea, but it felt good nonetheless.

To this day, Randall (now Agent Berry) doesn't trust other Fruitants and may take it out on the next one he sees. Which is exactly what happened when he invaded the ChewChats Gang's nightclub out of misunderstanding. Trying to keep the peace, Sorbabe shot a sonic blast from her turntable that pinned him against the wall. She advised everyone to leave calmly for the night and take their antidote while she got the other ChewChats to help this stranger out. He told them what happened, calmly. Knowing he doesn't like Voojuice like them, Sorbabe asked if he can join up with them, but he prefers that were take Voojuice out alone, since he only wants to reclaim what's left of his sanity. If that's what he wanted, Booster offered some antidote he got from the cooler. To which again, the agent refused. He went off on his own and told them to stay out of his way if necessary. He may not be an official agent, but he still has a mission he has to keep, and he'll only consider returning to being human again once his mission complete.
