It was a clear night down at the kingdom of Splatalot, the mood and the stars shone brightly, illuminating the dark sky.
Down at the stockade the Australian bird was stood on top of the pardoning platform, gazing at the stars in deep thought. Suddenly, a shooting star whizzed by, causing the bird to make a wish.
"Hey Kook!" a female British voice rang out.
Upon turning around he saw Shaiden and blushed.
"H-hi Shaiden." Kook stuttered, "H-how are you?"
"I'm fine thanks for asking, what are you up to?" The ninja asked, feeling curious.
Kook mumbled, "I saw a shooting star."
"Did you now?" Shaiden chuckled.
"My wish has not come true yet!" The bird stated quickly.
Truth be told he wanted to say that his wish came true. Sadly he was too nervous to tell her about his true feelings towards her, every time Kook saw Shaiden, he kept getting butterflies in his stomach, his heart raced and became lost for words.
"Um Shaiden I-I er..." Kook muttered then he thought to him self, 'OK Kook all you need to do it just tell her, you have kept these feelings in for too long'
"Yes Kook?" Shaiden asked
"I er...W-what time is it?" Kook blustered out.
After Kook realised what he said the mentally kicked himself, 'Darn it, dumb nerves'
The ninja thought for a moment then said, "It 10:35PM."
Kook stared to panic, "Oh crud I need to sleep, I just remembered that I'll be defending the moat tomorrow with Gildar and Crocness!"
The leader of the defenders had a highly strict rule when it came down to her subordinates defending the castle. Whenever she selected the defenders to the different areas of the castle, she expects then to go to bed and get up early, if any one slept in/arrived late the punishment would be to clean all three rounds that the attackers go through. One of the defenders of the castle constantly slept in and when they arrived to their post they were holding a sandwich.
As the duo headed into the castle, Shaiden heard a clanging noise.
"Kook did you hear that?"
"Hear what?"
The sound wad heard again a few seconds later.
"That sound." Shaiden whispered.
"Tink could be inventing something." Kook theorised, "You know how much he loves making things."
"If my ninja instincts are correct, the sound is coming from the kitchen." the ninja thought aloud, "And Tink can't be inventing in there anyway, he got told off the last time he made an invention.
At some point the inventor had made a breakfast machine to save some time after the defenders kept complaining that Vane was taking too long on deciding what to have, he would have made it in his inventing cave but there was too much stuff around the cave, making it hard for him to work without tripping over. The leader decided to let him use the kitchen. unfortunately, the results were catastrophic, as Tink was in the middle of inveting the machine the Viking walked in and the machine started to launch: Eggs, milk, and porridge at Gildar he tired to avoid getting splatted by food but he failed. When the leader found out the inventor got into a lot of bother.
Kook and Shaiden quietly walked to the kitchen they opened the door carefully, not wanting the intruder to hear them. They both saw that lights were off, the window was open then Kook suddenly saw the food cupboard was open he also saw a Silhouette of someone was rummaging through it he could not tell what the looked like as the person was wearing a hooded cloak.
The duo slowly moved close to the person, whilst they were sill rummaging. Suddenly, Kook coughed. The person cautiously turned around upon seeing the defenders they attempted to dash out of the window but Shaiden got to the window first and closed it. Then the person tried to get out via the door but Kook was obstructing it, leaving them trapped.
"Alright attacker what do you think your up to?" Kook interrogated.
Shaiden attempted to grab the supposed 'attacker' however, they managed to get out of the way causing Shaiden to knock Kook over. The stranger managed to escape from the kitechen causing a chase inside the castle to occur roughly 10 minutes later the other defenders woke up and went down stairs. they all hurried into the main room the leader did not look every happy.
"What ever are you two doing?" Knightriss asked.
"An attacker has got in and we have been trying to get them." Kook explained.
"Where is the attacker now?" The leader asked
"Dunno they must have gotten away!" Shaiden responded, looking at the ground.
The Alchemist spotted the person from the corner of his eye.
"There's that attacker lets get 'em!"
The person made a run for it but took a wrong turn and ended up in a corner, Thorne grabbed the cloak and yanked it off the person.
The person was a boy he was about 3'0",he had light tanned skin, dark green eyes, short messy white hair, the shirt and trousers were also white but they had patches of blue, pink and yellow on them, the shoes were blue with a single vertical pink stripe down the middle the soles and the soles and cuffs were yellow. He was also half human and half ferret.
"Um sis, Madeva thinks he looks too young to be the attacker." The leaders sister stated.
