The Alien's plot gets an unexpected twist as One Alien gets the surprise of a lifetime |
| [Introduction]
Sequel to the Origanal Revenge of the Aliens Nuff said http://www.writing.com/main/campfires/item_id/1674344-Revenge-of-the-Aliens Spring was just beginning to end, Matoaka's Daughter Amalthia would play with Minsk's son Dimetri...Bill, Jim or Bob would normaly be stuck on Babysitting duty, Today it was Bill Brandy's turn, the Teen Bull grumbled as he overheard Minsk trying to instruct Matoaka how to cook in the kitchen "It's like having your ears tickled with feathers." Bill said Minsk the Mink Manimal was attepting to teach Matoaka how to make a Baked Rice Pudding but it wasn't easy with the Tomboyish Matoaka so inept it was lucky if she could make a pot of coffee "Now pay attention!" Minsk snapped "We don't need eggs that's why we used rissotto rice, Do you even read the recipe?" Matoaka sighed with displeasure |
| Just than Ichabod came in with a scowl on his face. "Hey Ichy." Bill said "Have you come to join me on Daiper Duty?" "What?" Ichabod said befuddled "You heard me." Bill said "I'm babysitting." Ichabod looked at the two tykes playing at Bill's hooves "By Washington Irving!" He exclaimed "Just when I thought I've seen it all!" "What are you talking about?" Bill asked "I've never seen a green unicorn!" Ichy said "And she has feathers on her arms too!" "Yeah." Bill said "Zander thinks she may be able to fly but Matoaka doubts it." Just than it sounded like an animal was being tortureed in the kitchen...Judging by the scream coming from it "Sounds like Matoaka almost spilled boiling water on Minsk again.. Bill said shaking his head |
| "Matoaka, I swear you are worse than a boy when it comes to cooking," came Minsk's voice. "Why I bet that old wolf friend of yours is a better cook than you and I hear he likes to eat things raw!" "Yeah, she's complaining again," Ichabod said with a sigh. "By the way, do you know where that wolf is?" "I think he's out fishing with his son," said Bill. "Catching up on things." "What sort of things do you think they'd be talking about?" "Family stuff probably." |
Jim and Bob wandered in. "Has anybody seen my boots?" Jim said. "Did you look in your closet?" "I'm not an idiot! Of course I looked in my closet. Hmmm... maybe I left them in the tool shed. Come on, Bob, let's look there." "Where are you guys going," Bill asked. "Bob is taking me mudding," Jim said. "Mudding? What's that?" "I don't know but Bob says you need boots for it." Bob laughed. "We're just going down in the swamp to catch some crayfish. Hey, Minsk! You think you could cook up some crawdads?" Minsk stuck her head out of the kitchen. "You just boil them, don't you?" "Is that all? Heck, Jim, we could do that." |
| Ichabod just rolled his eyes at all the silly silly nonsense going on today. Meanwhile Zander was playing his flute just to relax himself and feel in harmony with nature Presently a large gray wolf came up to him, not a Manimal but a regular non-anthro wolf The Beast came up and nudged The Alien with his paws, Zander stroked the beast as if it was a pet, for some reason his flute seemed to soothe the wildlife of Earth like it did the wildlife back on his homeworld The wolf ran off Zander resumed his flute Meanwhile As Minsk and Matoaka rested after the catstrophic cooking lesson Bill and Ichabod munched on fruit and watched the two kids |
| "Makes you wonder what it will be like when we grow up and have kids," said Bill. "Well I'm not looking forward to diaper duty," Ichabod said, making a scrunched up face. **** Meanwhile, James the Third was sitting on the shore of a lake, holding onto a fishing rod. "There's nothing like an afternoon of fishing," said the old wolf. "Wouldn't you agree son?" "Yeah, but we haven't caught a thing all day," said a thirty-five year old human. "I swear, you are still like a ten year old at times Jimmy," the elder James said with a chuckle. |
"I'm just not into doing something all day with no success," Jimmy said. "You're looking at it the wrong way," James said. "It's not about whether you catch any fish or not. It's just about the experience. You're enjoying the experience, aren't you?" "Yeah, Dad, I am, but are you sure part of the fishing experience isn't to actually catch some fish?" James chuckled. "Let me tell you a story, son." Jimmy rolled his eyes. "I didn't see that coming." "One day many years ago before you were born, I was working as a tracker for Captain Henry 'Dead or Alive' Wilson, the famous bounty hunter. Captain Henry told me to take up a position in a vacant room across the street from where our quarry might be hiding." "Dad, does this story have anything to do with fishing?" "Just be quiet. I sat in that room for 7 days with no sign of anybody being across the street. I would report to Captain Henry by putting a sign in my window, just a piece of cardboard, if I saw the quarry. Or I could tell the fellow that brought my food once a day. Well, after 7 days I was pretty sure there was nobody there across the street and Captain Henry was chasing a shadow, so I became a little bit careless and stopped watching, just like you've become a little careless and stopped watching your pole. You've got a bite, Jimmy." "Huh? What? Whoa!" Jimmy yanked up his pole and set the hook. "Easy," James said. "Don't rip the hook out of his mouth." "I know how to fish, Dad." |
| Bill and Ichabod put little Ama and Dimetri and put them in their respective cribs "They're so precious when their sleeping." Bill said Ichabod sighed uncomfortably "Something the matter?" Bill asked "Joker came back to town." Ichy said Meanwhile Zander was walking through the woods contemplating what he saw while playing his flute. |
| I guess James is in the area, he thought. That would explain the wolf walking up to me. *** Meanwhile, back out at the lake, Bishop was on a fishing boat with a few of his operatives. They were wearing civilian clothing, and were within a hundred yard of James and his son. "Why don't we go catch the escaped experiment now?" one of them asked. "Experiment Number 25 Series B Animal-Human Hybrid Type Grey Wolf, or James Jefferson the Third as he likes to be called, is very observant," Bishop said. "Also, in spite of his age and medical conditions, he is a powerful fighter. He'd kill you before you stepped off the boat." "Then what are we doing here?" asked the other operative. "It's called catch and release," Bishop said, jerking the line on his pole. "We catch them, and let them go, just like with fish that are either not in season, or under sized. Then, when the time is right, we'll get the net and get the whole school." |
James spoke quietly to his son. "Are you still good at doing a back flip?" "Sure, dad." "We've got company across the pond. When I give the signal, we'll back flip into the woods and run out of here. Be sure you have all your gear in your hands. Ready?" "I'm ready." "Now," James said. Father and sun executed a perfectly matched backflip into the trees. It was as though they suddenly vanished. "Did you see that?" Bishop's operative exclaimed. "I saw it," Bishop said. "Or maybe you might say I didn't see it. I told you he was good." "It's like he vanished right before my eyes..." |
| Bill was just about to go home, His Babysitting duties were done Minsk entered the Room she picked up her son Dimetri "Since you did such a good job of watching the kids." She said "There's a little surprise for you in the Kitchen." Bill entered rthe kitchen to see a Slice of Chocalate Cake with an Ice Cold glass of Milk next to it "You're giving this to me just for Babysitting?" Bill asked "Actually partly that and partly for convenance." Minsk said "I did a lot of baking yesterday in fact I did more baking than we had room for." "Really?" Bill said |
| "Yeah, me and Edward are thinking about throwing a family reunion at some point in the future and I want to be ready for the real thing," Minsk said. "And you want to make food that your in-laws will enjoy," Bill said, nodding. "Nothing spoils a reunion more than bad cooking-" "-Except party crashers," came James's voice. Bill and Minsk turned and saw the old wolf and his son standing in the doorway. |
| Meanwhile Rose the Dragon was walking through the woods to where Falco lived with James' wingman, She brought a gift of fresh fish She had gotten to know Falco better as time had gone by, She learned from him that He was abandoned by his parents because of his deformity and his Uncle Skeksis was very rough on him. Rose was beginning to develop some feeling for Falco but she knew he would never mate with her becase she already had a lover...The White Eagle Angel...Falco explained why he could not mate with her even though she had an 'open' relationship with her lover "Aves mate for life." He said "When we mate our bodies release a horomone that bonds us...If a mated with you I would never be able to let you go...You don't want that, I don't want that...We can only be friends." |
"I understand," Rose said. "But I can't help yearning for you. The heart wants what the heart wants." "I guess we are doomed to be tragic lovers then," Falco said. "Our souls flutter in their cages but can never break open the locks and fly freely together in the sky." "That's so Avan," Rose said. "That's partly why I love you. Your Avan philosophy speaks to my soul." "What's the other part?" Falco asked. "I think feathers look great on a guy." |
| "Bishop's here?" "He was close to the lake the last time I saw him," James said. "I heard his plan." "How'd you do that?" Bill asked. "Special hearing aids," James said, pulling one out of his ears. "I can point them in a certain direction, and hear everything in that way for a mile. Very useful in espianoge." |
| She looked at them a bit perplexed not sure what she should say or do part of her wanted to run up to him and hug him perhaps even welcome them with open arms as if things were normal... but they weren't she knew that but rather than make a scene she quickly gathered her wit about her and plastered a happy passive look to her face as she went up to both of them smiling she was content but worry formed in the pit of her stomach. "How have you been it's so nice to see you again please come in and make your selves comfortable I was just finishing up in the kitchen." No one was the wiser to what she really thought in the back of her head too many thoughts pushed at her curiosity was pushed down and made to sit still till they could have some privacy. |
"Special hearing aids," Bill said. "I wouldn't mind having a pair of those myself." "I can give you the name of the guy who made these for me," James said. "Each set has to be custom-made to fit the customer's ears. They aren't cheap." "Oh. Well then maybe I'll wait until the day I become rich." "They don't cost a fortune. I just meant that it's not like you're going to have that much cash in your wallet." "Especially not in my wallet," Bill said and everybody laughed a little bit. |
| "Of course, I do have my ways of making money," James said. "The problem's with the IRS and the records, like Social Security, and a few other things. of course, knowing the whereabouts of criminals with a high bounty on their heads is quite usefull. The trick is to make sure you have a trustworthy partner to split the bounty with." |
| "that seems a bit of a risk if you ask me." he nodded a bit but didn't mind it much he had more pressing matters to worry about as he sat down in the living room followed closely by his son as they looked around and took in their surroundings. |
It was an ordinary living room in some ways - sofa, chair, end tables, lamps - but in other ways it was not. But you want to talk about strange living rooms, let's consider Falco's. He and Rose were sitting in two beanbag chairs under a painting titled "The End Of The World As Seen Through The Eyes Of A Virgin". Although you couldn't really blame Falco for the decorating because the house belonged to someone else. Rose sighed. "Even though we can't be lovers I do enjoy your company." "Would you like some more tomato juice?" Falco asked. "No, thank you. I believe one glass of tomato juice is about enough." "Maybe you would prefer something else?" "No, the tomato juice was fine." Meanwhile, James and Bill were discussing Bishop. "So you heard his plan?" Bill said. "Yes I did," James said. "Well... what is it?" |
| "Bishop is planning to capure us." James said "He attempted to capture me but I escaped him with ease." "What should we do to protect ourselves?" Bill asked "Well...Not much." James said "Don't think staying at home or staying in your human form will help you...Bishop knows full well who you are and can abduct you from your bed without anyone noticing." James looked around the table to see if anyone was listening "Any chance you can contact the turtles?" James asked "You seem to be on good terms with them...And they seem to one the few beings who can give Bishop a headache." Meanwhile Falco and Rose walked out to see the setting sun, Falco munched on a particularly good Red Snapper...He kind of felt bad about leaving Earth because the Native Fish were so tasty! Than he heard something, a rustle in the bushes and a whisper "I've never seen that kind of alien before." "We'll deal with the Alien later." Said anouther voice "We must Capture the Dragon-Hybrid...This Particular hybrid carries a microchip key to winning the war againts Earth's enemies!" |
| At this, Falco turned his head and whispered, "Hey Rose-" "Those frogs are peeping a little early this evening," Rose said, interupting him. She turned her head, and carefully moved her eyes towards where the whispering had come from. "Sometimes they can almost sound like peoples' voices. Don't you agree?" At this, Falco realized that Rose knew that they were being watched. "Yeah," he said. "They are a little loud tonight." Then he whispered, "What are we going to do?" |
"Catch a frog!" Rose said as she leaped into the bushes, but she came out empty-handed. "They slipped away." "But who was it?" Falco asked. "Enemies of free people," Rose said. "Even though they cover themselves with patriotic-sounding drivel about saving earth, they really just want to harrass hybrids." "What was that about a microchip?" Falco said. "Nothing that need concern you." |
| Suddenly the Two of them heard something that sounded like a Horse's Winnny! "What was that?" Falco asked (Who had never heard a Horse before) "Could be something we need to investigate!" Rose said They hurried into the woods, Underneith a Large Pine Tree sat a Large Equine/Human creature...Rose looked very carefully and deduced that this New Manimal must be a Shetland Pony Hybrid "For the love of God Somebody help me!" The Pony creature cried "I've been lost in the woods for days...An Hour ago I found a Basket of food...I take one bite of piece of cake and I turn into this!" "You took a bite of cake and it turned you?" Rose groaned "They're wising up to us..." The Dragon moaned "They've gotten wind of the 'Candy Story' and now they started doing it! Lacing food with transforming serum...Worse They're leaving traps." |
| "Well we might still be in a trap then," Falco said. "What do you mean?" Rose asked. "Is this a trap to to get this person transformed, or to get us captured by those guys?" |
"You're giving me a headache," Rose said. "Won't we be safe as long as we don't eat any of that cake he found?" "But what about meeee?" moaned the Pony. "I can't go back to my wife like this." "I think we all better go back to the house and think out a strategy," Falco said. "The woods have become more dangerous than we thought." "I'd offer to give you a ride," the Pony said, "but I'm new at this. I'm not sure I could do a very good job without a saddle." "We can walk," Rose said. "It's not far. Why were you in the woods in the first place? Before you ate the cake?" "I told you. I got lost." "I know, but why did you even enter the woods?" "Oh. I was looking for mushrooms." |
| The Two of Them looked at the Pony like he was inside "What's your name?" Rose asked "Horatio Huffnagal." Said the Pony Meanwhile Ichabod was walking in the woods, off to see his friends. |
| Okay, he thought to himself. Which way is the best way to get to the cabin? |
| Ichabod walked around a bit as he tried to figure which way would be best to go through as his mind wandered aimlessly he failed to notice he had gone off the trail that was safe passage for any that entered and he began to go deeper into the woods as he noted a bit too late that he was lost as he looked around seeing nothing but trees blocking out what little light the sun was casting it would get dark soon he felt a termore go through him. "I should have payed more attention" Ichabod sighed to himself as he tried to find his way back he figured try and go backwards and try to look for signs that he had passed. As the young man tried to find his way he failed to notice that something out there was watching him closely with predatory eye's that waited patently for it's prey to stumble unwittingly into it's hungry jaws, the anthro sat watching carefully her body poised and ready to lunge at the boy sure he was a bit thin but food was food and anyone that was dumb enough to stumble into this part of the woods was only to blame if they got preyed upon. |
| Suddenly and without warning a large beast jumped in front of Ichabod ...The Hungry Predator knew his chance was blown and slinked away Ichabod did a double take at the creature he saw, It was a Unicorn like Matoaka, but much more primitive than the Lady he knew. "Permit me to introduce myself." The Beast said "I am Lee I am Matoaka Redfeather's father." "Are you a..."Ichabod began "No I'm not a Manimal." Lee said "I have not a drop of human blood in me I am the world's last full blooded unicorn!" "The Last?!" Ichabod said asounded "Our kind has been hunted to near Extinction by a group known as the Rare Hunters." Lee said |
| "Okay," Ichabod said. "Let's just say that I'm someone who has no idea as to who those guys are." "They are a group of highly deadly poachers," Lee said. "If you want a rare animal, they are the guys to hire. Also, they specialize in Mythical creatures, such as unicorns for instance." |
| "Yes we do." the voice seemed to come out of nowhere as one of the hunters dropped out of the trees aiming at them with a wicked smile curving at his lips as he pulled the trigger in rapid sucsession hitting both the unicorn and Ichabod with darts that made them feel weak both of them stumbling to the ground. "You hit a kid?" Ichabod heard a concerned voice as he looked up he could only make out shadows as words began to slur and his body was too heavy for him as darkness held him down he felt everything slip away as his last thoughts were spoken out loud "what... are you...." he couldn't finish his sentence but in his mind he thought that the last word had been spoken yet it held deep in him. The guy pushed the butt of his gun at Ichabod "well the bugger is out for the night, help me with the unicorn we have to take it back so that they can get the horn off." the man moved to pick up the unicorn as his partner gently ran her hand on Ichabod's face "No we have to treat him he's just a human like us we can leave it here and come back for it latter just tie it up." the man turned to his partner stunned his moth a gap at what she just said "You are a sick one you know girly." she turned to face him a whirl of dark hair flew to show two dark blood red eye's that held him in a deadly gaze "That thing will be fine out here as long as we tie it up right a human would die and if you want to kill a human like those damn manimals then go for it but know this either help me with the kid or I'll shoot you and leave you to the animals out here without your gun." The man narrowed his eye's knowing that she would from experience she would do anything and if she wanted to help the kid then he better shut it and do as she says. |
"Fine," he said. "Let's do something for the kid. Sit him up against a tree. You know he'll be alright when the tranquilizer wears off." "But what if rats and snakes attacked him while he was unconscious?" she said. "Well what do you expect me to do? Build a little house for him to sleep in?" "We'll have to take him with us," she said. "No way!" |
| Meanwhile, Stalking around in the Bush...A Wolf Manimal named Jake (No Realation or connetion to James or his Family) He overheard the conversation and quickly made his move He hid downwind and matched his breathing with their's so they would neither smell nor hear him. Carefully he raised his gun, and aimed carefully...And shot a piece off the Man's ear "OW WHAT THE HELL?!" The Man said "That was a warning shot." Jake said standing up revealing himself "Next time it will be your head!" |
| At this the two hunters took a look at each other. "Okay smart alec," the man said. "What do we do?" |
| (I figured I should write a big part to make up for my little part that had added earlier hope a fight scene can help make up for my short entries. ^.^ Good to be a part of this campfire and thanks for the invite Twiga. ) The women raised her gun aiming at the wolf "If I were you I would worry about me." with that she pulled the trigger and swept at him the ammunition bit through the air as the man ducked out of the way the anthro hadn't expected her to do such a thing but was able to dodge and he ran a temporary retreat to lead her astray as he recalculated what to do next as he heard her rapid approach she was swift if she weren't a hunter he would have complimented her for being able to keep up with him, he suddenly stopped and twisted just as a knife came at where he would have been she was intent on killing him as she jumped out from the brush to come face to muzzle with him. He looked at her taking her into measure he was not sure what to make of her. "what kind of creature are you miss?" He inclined forward making her back away with disgust at him "Me... it's easy I'm a Hunter here to get rid of your kind. Your whole lot is nothing but a preversion of what is natural. The gentlemen call me Miss Fortune, ladies call me Sir Prize." She lunged at him as he twisted to his right watching the muscles flow in her body dodging her by a few inches but enough to give him room to manuver and step behind reaching out to grab at her left shoulder using his prominate hand, leaning forward as he felt the sudden shift in her body as she reacted to his tactic her left foot coming up as she tried to twist in mid air to face him her hand tight on the hunting knife she had. He had to pull back at the last second not wanting to hurt her as she fell skidding through the foliage as he grabbed his gun and took aim as she rolled to her left he aimed at her legs to imobolize her and get back to the other hunter but she was able to use a nearby tree as temporary shield, he moved towards the tree taking care not to make too much noise hoping to catch her by surprise as he poked his gun around the side of the tree and gave a warning shoot. "Listen I don't want to hurt you but if I have to I will so it's best if you just go." He spoke loudly making sure to sound clear for her to understand that he wasn't going to go easy on her just because she was a women. He stood there for a few moments waiting for her to come with her hands up ready to surrender instead he recived a sudden blow to the back of his head hard enough that a loud crack could be heard as he went down he turned to see her behind him the blow hurt but it hadn't knocked him out she had hit with great force enough to give him a headache but he could still take her and he had to as his body hit the ground he lashed out with his feet sending her down hard on him she innstinctively turned so that her back was to trying to grab onto anything she could. As she fell he extended his arms and grabbed her hard holding her in place as she struggled against him, he had her here she might be fast but he was naturally gifted with streanght that made the difference between victory and defeat. Here was her defeat as he held his arm across her throat the other one pinning down her hands as best as he could so she couldn't pull him off yet it didn't stop her from bucking against him, wiggling with all her might thrashing about him and kicking she was a hell cat and holding her was proving difficult for him when suddenly he heard her hiss and as he looked down he watched as she bit into him hard and brutally enough to break skin and draw blood. He yipped at the pain and grabbed at her face rough enough to leave bruises as he tried to get her to let go tightening his grip cutting off her air completely she dug in deeper as he did it he felt the pain white hot shot through his arm and his grip faultered and she eased on him taking a huge gasp. While they were in combat the man was treating his wound it burned as he applied the anti-septic to make sure it didn't get infected he looked over at the lillithed skin youth, he was so pale he could be confused with a girl and at first glance he had thought it was girl till he looked at him carefully. He scratched his head and wondered if he should just leave him there what was the worse that could happen to a kid what he really needed to do is get the unicorn back but he knew if he disobeyed his partner he would have to deal with her... the thought sent shivers through his entire body he sighed and knew that the only thing to do at this point was to take them both. He trudged around to the unicorn and set down his pack retreving a large net he then went over and grabbed Ichabod and set him with the unicorn he figured use the net on both of them it would help him drag both of them and get away. Once he had them in the net securely he began to haul them he had great streangth making it only irritating that he had to do it himself it would take longer but he would get the unicorn there. |
Despite his great strength, hauling a boy and a unicorn by dragging them along in a net was no easy task. He hadn't gotten far from the scene of the battle when he heard the fighting noises stop. "I guess they've killed each other," he thought. But that didn't seem very likely. Probably there was a winner and a loser. He hoped his friend had won, but if it was the crazy girl, then he better be ready to defend himself against her. |
| Unicorn's however are super healers, Whilst all this nonsense had been going on Lee recovered from the tranquilizer |
| Okay,Lee thought to himself. What would be the best way for me to get some help? Maybe I could use some telepathy? It's been a long time since I've used that. Can I even use it anymore? |
Lee closed his eyes and put his fists to his forehead and concentrated as hard as he could: Hello? Can anybody receive this? Hello? But he knew it wasn't working. It just didn't feel right. Maybe he should try to focus on a particular person instead of just broadcasting a general message for help. |
| Well in less time than it takes to tell Ichabod found himself on a soft sofa with a cool washcloth dabbing him on the forehead. "Just a minute I'll get up." Ichabod said turning over "Ichabod you HAVE to get up." Came a voice that did not belong to his mother or father Ichabod jumped up like a grasshopper "Matoaka!" He gasped "How long have I been sleeping here?" "Not long." Matoaka said handing him a cool glass of water "We found you like this on our doorstep." "Really?" Ichy asked sipping on the water "Uh Huh." Zander said as he entered the room "We don't know what happened but you had been knocked out for some time." "We called your folks and told them you were here...They should be here any minute now." A belly rumble from Ichabod echoed through out the small cabin and caused Zander to chuckle. "You should have something to eat." Matoaka said "Oh no, that's not..." "Nonsense." Matoaka said "You should have something." Ichabod found himself sitting down at the table, munchng an apple, telling the two about how he got there "I Don't remember much." He said "Except..." Her Father |
| "Except what?" Matoaka asked. "I don't know," Ichabod said. "However I think someone else was with me." |
| Matoaka poked around in her refridgerator "While we wait for your parents I could wip you up a little something if the fruit isn't filling enough." "Oh this is going to be hilarious." Zander said chuckling, the unicorn threw the Ave a harsh look and he stopped laughing at once "No, No! This is perfectly fine!" Ichabod said quickly "I'm perfectly satisfied with fruit." He popped a strawberry in his mouth to show he meant it. Zander sighed with releif "Did you ever hear the story of what happened when my brother in law ate a strawberry?" "No I don't believe so." Ichabod said licking strawberry juice off his lips "What happened?" |
| "Let's just say that we haven't heard from the woman since then," Zander said, turning his head and blushing red under his feathers. "What?" "He got aroused and well um-" |
| Ichabod paused for a moment as he processed the thought his pale skin turning bright red as he looked down at the fruit slowly gulping. |
"I get the picture," Ichabod said. "You do?" Zander said. "Sure. It happens to me all the time. He embarrassed himself with an unwanted erection." Zander shrugged. "Yeah, kind of like that. Except times ten." |
| Ichabod's parents arrived to take their son home Meanwhile Falco, Rose and the Shetland Pony were talking |
| "Well what am I supposed to tell my wife?" the pony asked. "She's alergic to horses." "What?" Falco asked. "How is that even possible?" |
| Rose answered for him "Some people are allergic because of the dandruff in the hair that is on the horses body along with dust particles that can effect others in such a manner. Also can be called hay fever" Falco and the pony looked at Rose not saying much. |
Zander and Minsk joined the conversation. "I just hope Amalthi isn't allergic to anything," Zander said. "I don't want my little girl to have to be sneezing all the time." "I think Dimetri might be allergic to owls," Minsk said. "He gets upset when he hears them hoot." "That's not an allergy," Zander said. "I don't like to hear them myself, especially the sad ones." "How can you tell if an owl is happy or sad?" Minsk said. "They all sound sad to me." "I have an idea for you, Mr Pony," Rose said. "Just go home and see what happens. Maybe your wife will not be allergic to you. There is no sense in worrying about it until you know if it's true." "I guess you're right," the pony said. "OK. I'll go home. I'll have to break it to her gently. Don't you think it will be a shock for her to see that her husband has turned into a pony?" "You never know," Minsk said. "Maybe she wanted a pony when she was a little girl and never got one. You might make her the happiest woman in the land." "I hope you are right," the pony said. |
| The Pony reached Matoaka's cabin with the Other's Matoaka was holding an Apple Pie in her hands "Finnally!" Matoaka said "I baked something without burning it!" Horatio Huffnagal hungry as a horse, attracted by the oder of food swallowed the pie in one gulp |
| "Now that's just great," Matoaka said. "I guess I'll have to make another one." |
Fortunately, she had a box of insatnt pie in the cupboard. "Thjis want be as good as homemade," she said, "but at least it will be quick." "What flavor is it?" Horatio asked. "Blueberry." "My favorite!" Matoaka frowned. "I thought you said apple was your favorite." "They is all my favorites!" "Well, you're not going to eat this blueberry pie." |
| Horatio nickered with fustration..."Wait." He said "Was that Apple Pie also an instant pie?" "Hecks no!" Matoaka neighed "That recipe happened to be Jim's mother came to me. Claimed it an old family recipe." "That's so funny that you should say that Miss Horse-With a Horn." Horatio said "Cuz that tasted like an Apple Pie my Uncle Louis made for me based on a book." |
"I even remember the name of the book: Sad Little Tom and His Adventures In Pieland." "I never heard of that book," Matoaka said. "Nobody seems to have heard of it." Horatio said. "I've never met anybody who said they heard of it. And yet, I remember reading it as a child and before I could read it I had it read to me. Doesn't that mean it was a real book?" "Sure," Matoaka said. "There are probably lots and lots of books that I never heard of." "In the end Sad Little Tom drops dead from a pie overdose." "Are you sure that's a real book? It sounds very strange." "I think it was some kind of anti-drug literature. My Uncle Louis was very worried that I might become a drug addict like so many in our family were." |
| "Well I wonder what he'd think now?" Matoaka muttered. "Oh he'd probably say that I had taken one too many horse pills," Horatio said, a smile forming on his face. |
| Meanwhile on Planet Ava Skeksis felt fusterated "I've lost all contact with Falco!" He humed "He has not called in two monthes!" |
| Well, I guess I could enact my other plan, he thought. True it will be somewhat embarasing and humiliating for me at first, but in the long run, I'll still take over the kingdom. |
| Late that night Zander had a dream...It was mysterious and at first Zander could not figure out the meaning. Zander woke up...He looked at the clock...It was 12:00 "Damn it." Zander said "I'll never get back to sleep now." He went to the Kitchen and got himself a glass of water. As he drank he felt a deep sense of urgengency but he did not know why... 'I wonder.' He thought to himself 'I wonder if there is any other Earth Food that will averse effects on my kind or any other Allied Species' He paused 'I know what strawberries would do to me...Most other Earth produce doesn't have averse effects...' Than he spoke aloud "Well...Some Earth Mushrooms give me horrible gas but that does is clear a room." Than he remembered Tropfor the Octo (Octopus like Alien with humanish face) He remembered Matoaka telling him that Tropfor once ate a poisonous mushroom and it had the quality of chocane to him...He had to be hevily medicated by Several Alien Doctors...Tropfor still kept in contact with Matoaka and Zander...In fact Tropfor modified their computer so they could Email him even if he happened to be on anouther planet |
| Perhaps I should contact him, he thought. It has been a while since I've heard from him. |
| (FYI there is a song like that and I was watching it if anyone is Curious as to it I'm putting up a link to the video of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RF9IhAVyNls go for it you will like it ^.^) he thought about it for a few moment but then decide it would not be a good idea he opted instead to sit as he sorted through his thoughts as this was happening out in the forest the battle between the Wolf and the Hunter had finally burned down both had little to no energy in them they had run out of ammo among other things they were tired and barely able to keep at it this had to end now or she would lose she knew that a wolf would have an advantage over her in this terrain but she had to do it she ran out of her cover and slammed head first into the wolf knocking him over she fell forward and slumped against him the blow had knocked her out and when he fell he had hit his head on a low branch both were out of it and in fact looked cozy laying on the ground. As they lay there they had a shared dream... (FYI I have been reading romance and well I haven't gotten enough romance in my daily time so I'm going to add some random romance in here and I hope no one minds) Her lips pressed up ward seeking his as he held her in his arms warmth all around as she felt safe there knowing that he would be here for her as long as she wanted him to be and even then he would continue to do so as they stared at one another she smiled at him and spoke softly. "I'm happy to be with you. I like to get scolded at too. You're lovely even without your smile. Please fulfill my wish" As she spoke those words it seemed their clothes had done a vanishing act making him blush as she jumped into his arms and happily proclaimed to him "Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it!" "I always want to hear my heartbeat on the 'first' day. Wherever we go, I want to be together and my heart to throb by everything. Hey~ anyone who is in love is a magician. Hey~ anyone who is in love can be pleased with anything!" She jumps into his arms pinning him under her as she kisses him all over... |
Zander woke up suddenly again. Wow! What a dream! Who was that cute girl singing to him in the dream? He checked the clock: 2am. "I'll never get to sleep!" Matoaka woke up. "Huh? What did you say?" "I'm sorry, Mattie. I didn't mean to say that out loud. I'm having trouble sleeping." Matoaka rubbed her eyes. "Did you try drinking some warm milk?" "Just some water. I'll go fix some milk. You go back to sleep. Oh, by the way, have we heard from Tropfor lately?" "No, why do you ask?" "He was in my thoughts. That's all." |
| Zander went down to the kitchen about to pour himself a glass of milk when he realyzed "Wait a miniute." He said "I'm lactose intolerant." Than he went to the computer and turned it on... |
| Of course, the tricky part would be to get onto his email. In fact, getting onto the Internet was tricky, as someone was always trying to track them down, so Zander had to move fast. |
| Ichabod meanwhile had woken up from some very strage deams as well He sighed and mopped his brow "I'll never get back to sleep." Ichabod said...His stomach growled.. "My parents would kill me if they found me eating at midnight." Ichy said "But I guess I should eat something if I want to get back to sleep, He opened the fridge...There did not seem to be much to appease his appitite. He looked and saw a strange fruit in the fridge...It looked like a Melon but had no rind "I don't remember seeing this fruit." He sniffed it "It smells almost alien." He cut a slice of it...He took a bite of it...Despite looking like a green melon it tasted like pommegranite seeds... Than Ichabod had and out of body experiance, That Fruit had been an Ava Fruit...And it had mystic properties He saw Skeksis sleeping in his bed...Ichabod did not know who this Ave happened to be but he sure looked Evil |
| Okay, thought Ichabod. What was that fruit, and where am I and who is this guy here? And why is he wearing pink-and-purple poka-dotted underwear? |
"Come to bed," Skeksis said. "Aren't you sleepy?" "I don't sleep with guys who wear pink-and-purple pka-dotted underwear," Ichabod said. "What color do you prefer?" "I don't prefer any color at all!" "Oh, you want me to take these off?" Skeksis said, tugging at his tacky shorts. "No!" Ichabod yelled. Then his mother called from her room, "Ichabod? Is that you? Why are you yelling?" "Nothing, mom! I was just having a bad dream!" Then he looked at Skeksis and hissed, "Get out of my bed!" |
| Than Ichabod woke up completly from his out of body experiance "What a Horrible Dream!" Ichabod exclaimed "It felt like a bad acid trip." Falco felt anxious..He felt something about to happen. "I have to get back to Ava!" Falco said to himself "My Uncle is about to do something unspeakably evil I know it!" |
| "How evil are we talking about?" Rose asked, startling Falco. "He plans to get the Avan throne," Falco said. "Possible by killing the current King and Queen." |
| Falco looked at Rose and put his clawed hands on her shoulders "I have to go home." Falco said "I may be a lot of things but I will not betray my King and Queen." |
| "You be carefull," Rose said. Then she gave Falco a quick kiss. "What was that?" he asked, backing away. "Oh I'm sorry. It's just that I really like you and-" "But you and Angel are lovers." |
| "... Falco" Rose's voice was a mix of pain and love she had feelings for Angel but they were only together out of want, she felt like all this time she should be with Falco and then suddenly her heart grew bold and she grabbed at him tears burning her eye's as she pulled him close and kissed him with passion as her hands fisted in his feathers not letting go as she confessed her love to him "I don't care about Angel the way I love you Falco since I met you my heart has ached for you to let me in I do love Angel but he and I... We just..." Falco looked at he felt as if he were being ripped asunder by her words he felt the same way but knew he could not act on his feelings she was already mated... to do so would mean he would disobey his laws he may not like it but he still would obey his worlds rule. Falco turn away from Rose choking down his love for her he would not break that rule he had done so much but he would not hurt another with how he felt he would hold his tongue to keep others from feeling pain, he knew that Rose loved him and he loved her he could not deny that himself but to make sure that she wouldn't pursue him he took a sharp inhale and turned to look at her his face was cold and void of any emotion he knew he must be cruel to be kind. "Rose why would I want you?" his tone was cold and dark as he looked at her forcing himself to feel nothing for her only a cold empty place where nothing in him would lurk "Why would anyone like me want something that has already been had by another. I only deserve the best Rose so please I have had enough of you hanging on me I am nice but it is time you understood that I don't want a beast like you... Please leave." it took every ounce in him to say it without crying he felt as if his heart had been stabbed repeatedly. |
| As soon as Falco had been kissed by Rose...Skeksis felt a disturbance in the force. He had been on his way to test Noir's Poison...Slip it into the King and Queen's drinks. But the moment Rose kissed Falco it felt like his heart had been stopped...The Bottle shattered "Curse you Falco!" Skeksis said "I knew you would betray me if you stayed on Earth too long!" "Talking to yourself Skeksis?" Came a voice the Bird knew all too well. King Revel was walking by holding a newspaper in one claw...And a cup R'AK Tea in the Other "What is the Black Stain on the floor?" Revel asked "That?" Skeksis mopped his bald head nervously "That's ....India Ink!" "How can it be India Ink?" Revel asked "We don't except imports from Earth." "Listen." Skeksis said "I just recieved very disressing new from my Nephew Falco...I must be off...I bid you good day Milord." |
| I wonder what could be so distressful for you, Rever wondered as he watched Skeksis leave the room. After all, I wasn't brought up to be King, so I should have more stress than you. |
"Guard!" King Revel called. "Scrape up this black stuff off the floor and take it to my doctor to be analyzed. I am very curious about this "India Ink" of Skeksis. And tell my doctor to hurry." Two hours later the doctor rushed into King Revel's chambers. "Sire! The material you gave me to analyze was a poison! Where did you find it?" "It was on the floor, but I think I know who the clumsy was that dropped it there." King Revel went to the door of his chamber. "Guard! Have Skeksis arrested immediately! He's got some explaining to do." |
| Skeksis had already anticpated the King's move and pulled a trap door in his basement floor. It led to a hidden dungeon that he used as a hiding place. Out of his pocket he pulled out a vial of small golden liquid. "This truth serum will do." The Old Bird said "When Falco comes home I'm going to have him tell me exactly what happened than I'll whip his sorry ass from here to Alpha Centri." |
| *CLICK!* "Hands up buddy," said a voice that had the sound of death in it. "And turn around slowly." Skeksis turned around slowly, and found himself staring down the muzzle of a gun. The hand holding onto it was furry, and the owner of the hand was wearing a dark clock that covered the person's face up. All that Skeksis could see was that the person wasn't an Ava. "And just who are you, and how did you get here?" the old bird asked. "Who I am is not important," the stranger said. "As for how I got here, I was always good at hot-wiring things, and commendering them, or borrowing them without premission. Knew a guy who had a ship. I said that I would take care of it. Decided to take it for a test drive." |
| Falco knew he had to hurry home...But as he made his way through space to his home planet he felt...Stange...He could not define it He could still feel and taste Rose's kiss on his beak, he ran his long prehensile tougue over where her lips had touched...he could detect a sweet taste. "This is flat fucking insane!" Falco said "And I never use the word 'fuck' |
| Meanwhile, Skeksis was busy looking at the clocked stranger. The person's stance was that of a calm man, one perfectly capable of doing anything. "So, what are you doing here?" he asked. "I'm here to kill you," the stranger said. "It took me a few weeks to crack the one bird you sent after my friend. I wonder how long it will take you." |
Skeksis sighed. "So you are what happened to Falco. I wondered about that. I couldn't believe he would fail me. How did you kill him?" "Kill him? I didn't kill him. He did fail you. He betrayed you. All your rotten plans are done for. Call me the avenging angel if you like." "I don't get it," Skeksis said. "Who are you?" |
| Skeksis felt about his magnificent cloak for a smoke bomb but felt something hot graze the tip of his finger "Ah ah ah" Said the hairy stranger "I would not do that." Falco meanwhile happened to be landing on his planet. |
| "I have to find my uncle before he does something foolish," he muttered. |
| Bill happened to be on the banks of the pond chilling out with Jim and Bob...When he heard Ichabod's voice "Bill! Hey Bill!" Ichabod called "Yeah I'm right here!" Bill called Ichabod ran up to them, in his hand what looked to be a piece of green fruit. "I took a bite of this piece of weird green melon thing and all of a sudden visons of horror won't leave my head!" "Are you that's 'Melon' you ate" Bob said "or bad acid" "I'm serious!" Ichy said "Take I bite and see for yourself!" The Three Manimals took a bite of the melon fruit thing Ichabod took a bite too. Suddenly their souls left their bodies, they were rocketed through space to the planet of Aves where they saw Skeksis and the cloaked stranger. Skeksis felt the presence of disembodied souls in his dungeon he took out his crystal ball from his pocket...It glowed with sickly purple light "Now listen here you furry beast." Skeksis said "This crystal has power to trap souls." |
| "Funny," the stanger said, reaching his free hand into his robes. "I have one of those glass balls myself. Also, I plan to add your soul to it." "You're bluffing," Skeksis said. "Only those with Noble blood can even use it. An animal like you couldn't even touch it, let alone use it." However, the stranger sent his foot towards Skeksis's knee, causing the joint to snap, and Skeksis to start swearing in ancient Aven. "I have no idea what you are saying buddy," the stranger said. "However, I think your mother would probably wash your mouth out with soap." "Who are you?" "Jefferson, James Jefferson the Third." "What'd you say your name like that? Most people go by their first name in an introduction." "Let's just say that the in-flight movie was a James Bond movie, and he always introduces himself in that manner." |
"You're no James Bond," Skeksis said, as he whipped out a small pistol and pointed it at James. "Nor you," James said as he deftly kicked the pistol out of Skeksis' hand. Skeksis popped open a switchblade knoife and slashed at James. James ducked, bobbed, grabbed Skeksis wrist, and with a cruel twist of same forced Skeksis to drop the knife. "Enough dancing," James said. "I think this party is over." There was a faint "Yayyy!" emitted by the hovering souls of the Manimals. "You guys can go back to your bodies now," James said. "This show is over." "What are you going to do with me?" Skeksis asked. "Hand you over to King Revel and collect the reward." Meanwhile, Falco had landed on the planet and was hurrying to the palace to warn King Revel about Skeksis being a traitor. |
| Falco meanwhile happened to be rushing toward his house when two of the King's Gaurds stopped him. "Come with us." The two gaurds said together..."We need to speak with you." Falco saw King Revel and Queen Gear standing beside some papprazzi from multiple planets Falco looked at His King and saw Revel had his trademark lopsided grin on his face...Falco gulped...He knew He did know Revel had a grudge against him ever since their teenage years When Falco 'accidently' spilled the beans on Revel's conception...Revealing his Father raped his Mother... "You can relax." Revel said to Falco "We're not going to give you a death sentence or even a whipping...All you have to do is tell the truth about what you were doing while on Earth." Falco could not help but gulp again...He thought of Rose and the 'brush with romance' he had with her "Just a kiss." Falco whispered to himself "They can't whip me over a kiss right?" |
| "What do you mean?" Falco asked. "I have reports that you had gone to Earth to do something dishonorable, because your uncle Skeksis threatened to have your name stricken from the family records," Revel said. "Is there any truth to this?" |
"But it was HIS idea!" Falco protested. "I mean..." King Revel was stern. "Listen, Falco, it will go best for you of you just tell the truth and explain what really happened." Falco hung his head. "I was sent by my Uncle Skeksis to Earth to..." Suddenly a voice rang out. "Stop! Don't say another word!" |
| Skeksis happened to be restrained by the big wolf thing Falco looked at his geriatric uncle and no longer felt afraid of him "Milord." Falco said bowing deeply to his king "He sent me to murdur Zander's beloved Manimal Wife." "Curse you Falco!" Skeksis said but James took one paw to hold Skeksis' beak shut. |
| "You ought to be glad that my one friend isn't here," James muttered. "He'd tar and pluck you himself." |
| So in the End Skeksis would be put to Death and Falco would forever be free of his uncle Still Falco did not feel satisfied...He felt too guilty...He caused so much grief while on Earth he felt that somehow he deserved at least a whipping for what he did. And as he stood on his balcony watching the Alien sky...His mind wandered to a certain someone....Rose... that Sweet Young Dragon? A sweet young woman on a faraway planet known only as Earth. Meanwhile on Earth...Minsk had finally taught Matoaka how to make something without burning it... Matoaka gave on slice of pineapple upside down cake to her daughter and anouther slice to Minsk's son. As the two Mothers watched their little ones devour their cake slices and generaly making a mess of themselves...Minsk noticed something out the window "Hey!" Minsk said "Is that Rose? What is that Dragon-Girl doing?" "Seems to be looking at the sky." Matoaka said "Poor Rose....But at least they both know that when look to the Night Sky the one they love will always be there." The End! |
