The Crooked Blade Ch-4

           "And THIS is the exit to the Explosive shack!," Kat said violently kicking open the back door to the shack still dragging Klayton behind her "and THAT's the Mulberry bushy-tree-thing-a-ma-bob!" she pointed with her free hand to the mushroom shaped plant.  "Very interesting... now... what kind of creatures live here?" Klayton said secretly lacking interest on the grand tour Kat was giving. He quickly looked over his shoulder at Mongoose whom didn't pick up that glance but her tail twitched slightly. "Creatures? Hmmsss... well ya got Sheepies," Kat finally released her grip on Klayton and pointed to Cornflakes taped to her head "they be harmless and stuffs so ya don't gots ta worry 'bout 'em!.... then thar be Victoids... they look like doggy-thingies... I saw one once... but Bil squish'ed'ed it... umm... I forget the name of the other one..."

           "W-weasel...." Mongoose stammered.

           "Ah yeah thankies Mongoose~ Weasels! They no niiiceee and they're all like... RAWR and stuff!" Kat said obliviouse to the horribly disturbed face of Klayton and the growing terrified expression on Mongoose.

            "N-N-NO KAT! W-WEASEL!" Mongoose panicked poiting to the large green monster towering over her from behind. "Hmm?" Kat turned around to finally noticed the beast she was just trying to remember "why hello good sir... can I interest you in some fluffy puf-.... OH SNAP~ Run away! Run away!" Kat yelled running back for the Explosive shack with Klayton behind her, Mongoose trailing behind him. As soon as Klayton skidded inside the shack in kicked the door closed, hearing a thud from behind the door. "HEY~! Mongoose is still out thar! Let 'er in!" Kat informed not understanding why Klayton would do that. "Don't you realize that it's probably looking for its own kind?" Klayton retorted.

           "Own kind? Mongoose isn't a Weasel silly weenie! She's a 'hoodian!" Kat shot back as she watched Klayton use his sword to jam the door. "That thing isn't a 'hoodian... its not like us..." Klayton stated. Kat blinked and narrowed her eyes and kicked the sword from where it was and swung the door open, in which Mongoose quickly dashed in and tripped over her own feet and falling onto the floor. However Kat wasn't quick enough with closing it as the Weasel charged into the door frame, causing the door to fall out from its place. The green claws snapping violently at the three as half it's body roared angirly, sniffing the smell of klay that he so wanted to devour.

         "WAUGH! Klayton do some' 'bout 'dis!" Kat called out to him over the roars of the Weasel. "Me? I don't know how to kill these things yet! If we sacrificed it we could've been safe!" Klayton snapped. Mongoose twitched "H-huh?" she asked puzzled hearing Klayton's comment. Kat was about to yell at Klayton but then looked at Mongoose "Say Mongoose... can't your buttons do anything?" Kat asked avoiding a snap from the claws of the Weasel. "H-huh?... Hold on...," Mongoose said brushing off Klayton's comment and clicking the first button on the top row, but nothing happened "umm... oh d-dear.. the second button is what opens my hatch... I don't know what the third one does..." Mongoose said hesitantly.

         SNAP!

         Kat fell backwards on her back and held her hand, the Weasel successfully snapped one of Kat's fingers off. "Ouchies... that wasn't very nice...." Kat said tears forming due to a sudden reflex. Klayton's eyes widened and glared down at Mongoose "Now look what you've done! If you didn't come back in here she would still have a finger!" Klayton growled angirly. Mongoose shrank back, her tail yet again twitching. "I... I didn't mean... h-here it goes!" Mongoose said pushing down onto the third button. "Ah...." she gasped as everything went black, and fell limply back onto her back. "Mongoose?" Kat asked lookng over her shoulder. The Weasel sniffed around for the scent of klay he favored, but didn't smell a thing. And with a grunt , retreated.

        "Wow~! That was MAD spiffy! Neat trick Mongoose!.... Mongoose?" Kat crawled over to her side and poked her with Cornflakes. "Hey Mongoose?... Wakey, wakey... did you faint or somethi-.... hey... why is your klay scent fading?" Kat asked sniffing Mongoose and then suddenly twitched.

         "It's probably dead. Good, that thing caused you to loose a li-"

        "That THING is my B-F-F JILL! And I don't like your attitude Klay-jerk!" Kat growled picking up Mongoose piggy-back style "hang on~! Auntie Kat-pants is gonna bring ya to Kork-a-doodles!" Kat said running out of the Explosive shack leaving Klayton narrowing his eyes spitefully at the back of Mongoose as the two desended into the Purple swirly cave.
