Chapter 8: A Home In The Hills
At Mollucks office Molluck was talking to Fred about a Mudokon Fortress north of Rupture Farms.
“I want you to destroy it,” said Molluck.
“HOW?!?” asked Fred.
“I don’t know!” yelled Molluck. “Blow it up! See if I care HOW you destroy it!”
“Ok sir” said Fred in a scared voice.
He knew Molluck was in a bad mood, especially when he didn’t get one wink of sleep. He was up all night discussing about the new breed of Mudokon with Fred.
At the same time not far from the Mudokon Fortress Stranger was had just finished running through an old Slog Hut.
“There it is” said Stranger.
Stranger was so happy he had made it back.
“ABE!” he yelled.
Abe knew it was Stranger so he got up and ran through the open door to see Stranger.
“Stranger, AHH” Abe said noticing Strangers arm. “Your arm! Its wounded!”
“Its nothing really” said Stranger trying to pretend it didn’t heart him.
“Come on I will fix you up,” said Abe.
Both of them walked into the Fortress.
“Is place safe Abe?” asked Stranger wondering what would happen if Molluck tried returning.
“Of course it is” said Abe confidently. “Sit here.”
“Thanks Abe” said Stranger. “I’m a bit thirsty.”
“Want some of Alf’s tea?” asked Abe.
“Ok,” answered Stranger.
Stranger then heard a bouncing sound to his left.
“Hello” said Munch looking at Stranger. “I’m Munch.”
”I’m Stranger,” he said. “You’re a Gabbit aren’t you?”
“That’s me,” said Munch looking proud.
Stranger nodded his head while Munch carried on talking but Stranger couldn’t care less. Or he was thinking about was getting even with Molluck.
“Here is you tea Stranger,” said Abe handing Stranger the tea.
Stranger didn’t like the look of it but didn’t want to upset Abe by not drinking it.
So he said (not meaning it) “looks nice” he said with a little laugh.
Stranger took a sip of the tea and then had the weirdest look on his face. He knew he had to drink it so he swallowed it thinking of something else.
Suddenly a train was coming to then train stop at the Slog Hut.
“Sligs!” said Abe. “Munch we gotta get the natives ready.”
“Yeah!” said Munch excitably.
“Let me help!” said Stranger.
“What king of weapon do ya want?” asked a native.
“Can I have a Crossbow?” asked Stranger.
“Coming at ya” said the native throwing the Crossbow into Strangers hands.
“What about your wound?” asked Munch.
“I’ve had worse” said Stranger laughing.
Down in the Slog Hut Fred was conducting the army of sligs and slogs.
“Alright here is the plan,” said Fred. “We run into the Fortress in a single file line screaming at the top of our lungs. The Mudokons will be so confused by the time they have a chance to regroup, we’ll already be inside!”
A slig was so confused he had to say something “But sir their not gonna get confused, their just gonna start mowing us down!”
Fred let out a little laugh and said, “That’s the whole idea of the single file line! They can only kill the person in front starting with that guy in the front and me in the back.”
“But sir” said another slig. “Shouldn’t 40987 be in the back seems though he is the one carrying the bomb?”
”Nonsense!” said Fred. “We need someone behind 40987 to direct orders and to know if 40987 is dead so he can tell everyone else we are doomed!”
“Can I hear another plan sir?” asked a slig.
“Ok” said Fred. “Using parts of the train we shall form together a can, and we shall call it, THE SLIG CAN! With the Slig Can we shall make a slig-sized hole in the outer wall. The Mudokons will be so mad they will surrender!”
The slig that asked for another plan said real quickly “I’ll vote the other plan!”
All the sligs and slogs formed a single file line and a slig said to Fred “I really want to thank you for not putting me in the front sir”
Fred shook his head laughing and said “Listen 50987, by the time your already dead we will have already used your corpse to jamb up the windmill.”
50987 didn’t feel very happy by that remark and was afraid.
“Everyone ready?” asked Fred. And without listening said, “CHARGE!”
