“Hey, what the heck??” said Mushpuff after he turned back around to face where the squirrel was mere moments ago. Glancing around, he saw that the squirrel had just picked up the Energy Cube that Klumpkrump dropped.
“Get that squirrel!!” shouted the cat.
Everyone scrambled to get the squirrel, but in the confusion caused by all of the moving limbs, the squirrel was briefly lost.
“I think I got him!!” Klumpkrump yelled triumphantly. “Oh, wait, nevermind, that’s Qaeron’s arm.”
Thanks to the Great Confusion, nobody spotted the squirrel as he yanked the keys to his ship from Bird’s flipper. Then it was merely a straight shot to the ship itself. Everyone was still clumped up and scrambling to try to find him, and he was only spotted by Mushpuff when he was halfway to his ship.
“Hey!” yelled the cat, once again getting on all fours to run at the squirrel. The squirrel, however, absorbed some energy from the Energy Cube into his little squirrel hands, and Mushpuff dared not get any closer for fear of vaporization.
“Nobody move or I will DESTROY YOU ALL IN HALF A SECOND!!” yelled the squirrel, backing away towards his ship. And nobody did.
It was only after the squirrel had gotten into the ship that Mushpuff made his move. With what little charge remained in the Yalmton Bracelet (it hadn’t much time to charge since the incident where Plagiarize almost died at the hands of the squirrel), he zapped the ship.
Stolen novel; please report.
Immediately, a bunch o’ smoke started coming out of where Mushpuff zapped it. Many beeping warnings were going off that could be heard from the outside. There was a loud bang as the squirrel slammed the main door of the ship open.
“WHAT THE HECK?!??!” yelled the squirrel. “WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!!?!?”
“Because you were about to get away!” exclaimed the cat.
“NOW YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE A CHANCE OF GETTING AWAY!!!”
“We have a better chance now than if you had flown away.”
“Great point, bro,” said Hoofa.
“OH YEAH??” shouted the squirrel. “WELL NOW YOU HAVE ME TO DEAL WITH!!”
As the squirrel said this, Hoofa shot a barrel at the Energy Cube he was still holding. It was knocked out of his hands and fell down over the edge of the pyramid.
“And now you have us to deal with,” replied Hoofa.
The squirrel attempted to run to the edge of the pyramid to jump off, but was once again caught by Mushpuff. This time, he wasn’t getting away so easy.
“Okay, squirrel, now could you please tell us all you know about this pyramid?” suggested Mushpuff.
There was nothing the squirrel could do at this point. They would definitely not fall for the “hey, look behind you!” trick again. And so he began.
“WELL!” Upon hearing this first word, everyone gathered around the squirrel, who was pinned below Mushpuff. “It all started a long time ago…”
