The Crooked Blade Ch-5

           Following Kork back to the Chemical labs, the two remained silent, either because Klyde was too nervouse or Kork just didn't feel like talking to him. Once they reached the Radio Station Klyde finally broke the silence.

            "Uh, Kork?... You're... not mad at me right....?" Klyde asked nervously pushing his index fingers together and staring at the back of Kork whom had stop moving when he asked the question. Kork placed her hands on her hips and sighed, finally turning around. "Look Klyde, I'm not mad at you. Kind of annoyed that you would follow Klogg's orders, but it doesn't matter now because Klogg didn't get to do what he always wanted to do because you fixed your problem." Kork stated turning back around and opening the door, decending down the stairs into the BOBBY room. "Then... there's still a chance..." Klyde thought to himself as determination began to build up for his hopes of one day he and Kork would be together in the nice lab he would build for her.

            "KLYDE! Move it or lose it!" Kork shouted up to the deep in thought builder. Klyde quickly scurried into the building "Y-yes Kork! Sorry!" he quickly said. Kork was already inside the BOBBY machine and as soon as she was going to click the button, Klyde leaped in only to meet tingiling electric currents being zapped at the pair. Though it didn't seem to bother Kork at all, her growing so use to the feeling in all of always being here. In an instant the two we're shrunk. "C'mon..." Kork said leading the way to the Chemical labs. Klyde staggered out of the bottom of the machine and gave himself a shake before catching up with Kork whom was already in her lab leaning on the counter.

             "I think it's clear to both of us, hmmm?" Kork said crossing her arms.

              "You mean the fact Klayton was the life-seed Klogg entended on using as his henchmen? The life-seed that he used the... 'you-know-what' on which gave Klayton his 'abilites'?" Klyde asked rubbing the back of his neck. Kork nodded and began to pace in the little space she had. "I'm not too sure about it though, Klogg pretty much in a way 'tainted' that life-seed... but Hoborg was the one whom gave it life... so in a way Klayton is a combination of both traits of Klogg and your average 'hoodian created by Hoborg." Kork stated.

              "Is that why he has claws on one hand and that crazy crooked sword that looks like Klogg's dagger?" Klyde asked knowing what the answer probably was. Kork nodded as she continued pacing. "I'm kind of worried though," Kork stopped pacing and her back on the counter again "I didn't like the look he was giving Mongoose when he asked her about her tail..." Kork thought to herself while Klyde just stood and watched. There was a long silence when suddenly it was broken by the sound of a 'hoodian falling down the stairs and then the BOBBY machine going off. "Kork-pants! Kork-a-doodles! Kork-faaacceee~!" Kat yelled.

             "Ugh... why does she have to be so loud...," Kork growled walking past Klyde and peering out of the lab "what is it no-.... what the...?" Kork asked seeing Kat carrying Mongoose on her back. Kat was trying to catch her breathe as she wheezed out the words "Not... responsive...." Klyde had a bad feeling in his gut and his eye twitched as he though of it.
