Skulduggery had just happened to stumble unto Lord Vile's lair, and was now watching him curiously, with his hands on his waist, also showing off his new waistcoat.
"Ahh, Skulduggery. I was wondering when you'd show up." Vile said without looking up
"You were.. expecting me?" Skul cocked his.. skull to one side.
"Indeed I was. You see, I would hardly be as useless to let you follow me here without noticing a live skeleton on my heals."
Skulduggery nodded grimly. "Hate to point this out to you, but I'm no where near your stinking feet."
Lord Vile looked up, irritation scrawled across his face.
Upon seeing Skulduggery, his irritation turned to confusion.
"What. Is. That?" He asked, pointing in horror.
"These?" Skulduggery held out his arms, proudly. "These are my minions."
Gathered around Skulduggery's feet, rising up to about his knee, where approxamatly 50 little people, all wearing identical outfits.
"This is my Munchkin army." Skulduggery said, proudly.
"You have an army?" Vile asked, bewildered.
"Yes. now either you give up, or they attack."
"Uhhh... no!" Vile laughed, defiantly.
"Munchkins," Skul announced, hands on his hips. "Tell Lord Vile what you'll do if he doesn't give up."
A chorus of high pitched, "bite his ears off" "nibble his ankles" "chew off his toes" rung around the cave.
Vile looked slightly unnerved, but stood his ground.
Skulduggery smiled, and raised his right arm, pointing at Lord Vile, "Munchkins; attack."
A flurry of mini minions ran at Lord Vile, who consequently started screaming in a rather high pitch voice.
"OK! OK! CALL THEM OFF, I'LL COME QUIETLY!" He yelled.
The sound of footsteps echoing off the cave walls could be heard.
Valkyrie turned up, out of breath. Upon seeing the munchkins she rolled her eyes, but smiled none the less at the sight of Vile squirming under the weight of 50 little people.
She looked at Skulduggery "You're enjoying this aren't you?"
He looked at her, and Valk thought she could sense a smile in his words, "Ooooh yes Valkyrie. Oooh yes."
The last thing Vile said before his speech was temporarily cot off by a minchkin sitting on his head, squishing his face trying to make Vile look like a fish, was "Call them off! Please, I'll be good!"
At this Skulduggery smiled, and replied, "Uh...no. I'm finding this rather amusing to tell the truth."
Vile scowled, or rather attempted to scowl.
At the moment Valkyrie thought he looked a bit like a fish.
Skul nodded to something one of the muchkins said, and an entire desk and two or three papers entitled 'evil world domination plan' were set alight. One particular minion, whom Skulduggery affectionately referred to as 'Skul Junior' was dancing upon one of Vile's desks, and at the same time was smashing Vile's collection of china statues.
As Lord Vile viciously threw the munchkin off his face, he frowned at Skulduggery, and at Valkyrie, whom was giggling at the sight of the grown man weighed down by two or three munchkins on each arm, not to mention those trying to trip him up underneath him.
Lord Vile looked daggers at Valkyrie, and stated, "This is NOT FUNNY!"
Unfortunately at this time, Vile had three munchkins hanging from each arm, and one tricky little minion had raised a banner by Vile's head - kick me. i smell bad...
Valkyrie couldn't hold in the laughter much longer, and as Vile went down under a tidalwave of munchkins, Skulduggery replied; "Actually, I'm rather enjoying it."
As a screaming Vile was dragged along by an army of munchkin minions, Valkyrie was telling Skulduggery that Scapegrace had been seen in the area.
Well, she was until she noticed the yellow monstrosity that was sitting in the parking space.
She turned to look at Skulduggery, who had his disguise on.
"What?" He said, his voice gone all high and squeaky.
"I'm walking." She stated simply.
