"It`s feeding time losers!", the voice went out over the intercom.
Yes it was that time again in the plumber`s HQ prison. For the third time of the day the prisoners would be fed the same miserable slop by the same miserable slob, Gorvan. A most unpleasant being Gorvan was, he`d often dish out an insult along with the dishes.
"Okay slug boy, here is yours," Gorvan said to a slug-like inmate, "and I made sure to make it extra salty."
Gorvan laughed disgustingly and walked away as the slug threw the dish at his cell door. This continued for several floors until he reached a certain cell.
"Well if it isn`t Mr. Personality." Gorvan said, shoving a food tray into the cell.
The prisoner didn`t say anything, he didn`t even get up to eat. Gorvan snarled and punched the cell door. A small, dry sigh was heard as the prisoner nonchalantly walked up to the door.
"Must you annoy me so?" Albedo said.
The tetramand and the former Galvan stared each other down. Albedo had been in prison for almost a year, and his human body had become terribly thin, since he refused to eat nothing but chili fries. He placed his pale thin fingers against the cell and sneered at his feeder.
"You`re very lucky that I`m in here, other wise...I`d have to do something unpleasant." Albedo said, coughing before returning to his bed.
Gorvan let out a chuckle and continued to hand out the food, "Have fun with the bulimia you dumb bastard."
When Gorvan was finally gone, Albedo punched himself in the stomach until he coughed up a small triangle-shaped device. Albedo looked around before he pressed some buttons on the device. A small antenna popped up and Albedo started to talk into it.
"Hugh, Hugh are you in position?" Albedo asked.
"Um...yes Albedo, you sound terrible," Hugh said, "Haven`t you been eating?"
"Never mind that!" Albedo yelled, then coughed, "You and your partners remembered to smuggle the device into the kitchens right?"
"Of course, um...at least I think I did."
"If you didn`t, do me a favor and beat yourself." Albedo said.
He knelt to the dish and slowly lifted the lid, Albedo changed into a negative wild vine and used his roots to pick through the dish. Albedo had given Hugh very specific instructions on where to place the device. Since Gorvan felt the need to hawk a loogie into all his food. After two minuets of rooting through the slop he finally found the device he was looking for. It was a small square-shaped screen with red lines across it, Albedo chuckled and changed into his human form.
"Finally!" He said with glee.
Albedo slapped the screen onto his wrist and started to tinker with it. After a few seconds the device beeped and glowed until Albedo could feel it latching itself into his wrist. He chuckled with delight as he rolled through the aliens until he reached the Galvan form. He slapped down on his device and changed into his regular Galvan body.
"Ah, it feels good to be back.", He said.
Albedo hopped onto the inner cell-lock, after some tinkering he was able to disable the security lock. Albedo hopped down gathered up the communicator and changed into a negative heat-blast. Albedo melted down the door and ran out. The prison become suffocated in the mixed sounds of alarms and prisoners whooping. Albedo raced through the chambers, switching in-between his Galvan and human forms to avoid the sensors.
"Hugh, are you in position two?" Albedo asked on his communicator.
"Of course...position two is behind the dumpster next to the kitchen right?" Hugh asked.
"No it`s the dumpster next to Pakmar`s place, you stupid reptile!" Albedo barked.
Their conversation was cut short when a laser beam nearly shaved Albedo`s face. Two plumber troopers we`re barring down on him, guns blazing and aimed at his face. Albedo changed into a negative Cannonbolt and slammed down on the two guards. As the two guards tried to reach their feet Albedo-bolt backed over them again and again until they were unconscious. Albedo changed back into Galvan form and continued to flee until he reached the kitchen. Albedo snuck and found Gorvan snoozing with some head phones on.
"Now it`s time for revenge." Albedo said.
Albedo changed into his human form and punched Gorvan in-between his legs. Gorvan spluttered himself awake and angrily stared down Albedo.
"You know something squirt!" Gorvan snarled, rubbing his sore spot. "I could snap you like a tooth pick!"
Albedo changed into his Humungousaur form, then continued to grow until he reached the peak of Humungousaur`s height. He then picked up Gorvan by his scrawny legs and began to slam him head first into the concrete floor repeatedly.
"No, I had not noticed this." Albedo said.
Albedo hoped over Gorvan`s body and broke the back door down. Albedo changed into his human form and staggered through the alley until he reached a non-suspicious red and white van. Albedo looked around before knocking on the right door. The door flew open and Hugh jumped out knocking Albedo down in the process.
"Oh no!" He yelled, helping Albedo to his feet, "I`m sorry, I should`ve rolled down the window first, I`m sorry."
"It`s okay, accidents happen." Albedo said, brushing himself off. "By the way did you bring the item?"
Hugh nodded and produced a large bag from a fast-food joint. Albedo opened it up and much to his delight he found an extra-large tray of chili-fries. Albedo munched them down greedily as Hugh made a disgusted face.
"Geez Albedo, you don`t eat anything for almost a year and the first thing you do is wolf down enough chili-fries for three people. That can`t be healthy." Hugh said.
"Oh so what, you`re suddenly smart now?" Albedo asked, throwing the bag on the ground. "Shut up and drive."
The two loaded themselves into the front and Hugh drove the van straight through Pakmar`s place.
"You know, I read, if you eat nothing but chili-fries, your human body will suffer something called a stroke." Hugh said.
"You know, I read shut your mouth lizard!" Albedo said. "Anyway, in-between all this reading and research, did you keep tabs on Tennyson and friends?"
"Yes Albedo, and I think I know where they are." Hugh said, 'Last time I picked up on their communicators with that...thingy you left me. They were heading to a place called Ledger Domain."
"Well, I guess I`ll be taking a little field trip...after I get some more chili fries."
