Dumbfounded, confused, and somewhat infuriated are just a few of the words that can be used to describe Katz right now as he sits across from what he originally believed to be an inanimate object. Given that the object in question was still technically inanimate, but it did seem to possess a level of sophistication and intelligence that rivaled even his. Even so, with those two compliments being made there were a plethora of issues, complaints, and overall hate fueled insults that he had towards the computer who after their initial encounter a mere few seconds ago kept silent, no doubt waiting for Katz to speak and/or type to it once more.
"Are you just going to sit there all day and stare at me or are you ACTUALLY going to do something?" It asked completely destroying Katz' assumption as to why it had remained silent for so long.
"...How are you even able to acknowledge me, you're a computer." Katz responded wishing to get rid of the massive elephant in the room before anything else which caused the computer to let out an audible sigh.
"Look I could go on and on and on about how and why I'm far more intelligent than you appear to be at this moment." Computer insulted causing the other's left eye to twitch slightly "However you came up here for one of two things, A. To ask me something or to do something with me or B. Fix the massive gaping hole in the wall." He added.
Taking a moment to look for himself before responding Katz did feel his eyes widen a small bit as he turned his head to the left, only to be met with nearly the entirety of the wall missing from the explosion earlier.
"How did I miss that?..." He asked aloud unsure as to how such an obvious thing could go unnoticed.
"Probably because you're a twit." Computer answered to which Katz grabbed him by the monitor.
"Alright now listen you bucket of wires and parts, I'm getting a little tired of your sarcastic remarks and statements, so if you wish to remain as a WHOLE you will stop." He warned.
"No need to go and get violent we're just speaking to one another after all." Computer replied "Even though I have every right to make remarks given I now have a fourth of my room missing." He added.
Seeing as though this...thing wasn't going to cease in it's sarcastic tone and overall demeanor, even with it's very existence being threatened, Katz reluctantly released it from his grasp letting out a heavy sigh as he did.
"Look I just need to contact someone, are you capable of doing that?" Katz asked pinching the bridge of his nose out of irritation.
"Who would you like to reach?" Computer asked progressing the conversation without the need for back and forth banter.
"My sister Kitty and her partner Bunny." Katz answered a bit pleased with how civilized things seemed to be going suddenly.
"Kitty and Katz...either your parents despised your existence or they were oblivious as to what they were to begin with." Computer remarked causing the other's eye to begin twitching again.
However before Katz could show his displeasure with the device before him or even threaten him once more, it spoke again with it's words unsettling him slightly.
"Oh my..." Computer began taking a moment of pause before continuing "It seems that contacting her won't be necessary." He informed causing the other to raise a brow.
"What do you mean?" Katz asked.
"It seems that your sister and her "partner" as you called her are on their way over here as we speak." Computer clarified causing the other's eyes to widen.
"Wait what? how is that possible?" Katz asked unsure as to how or why his sister would be coming here.
"Well if you could stop interrupting me with your pointless questions I will explain it for you you twit." Computer answered before continuing "It appears as though your sister and Bunny got on a plane two days ago in Paris which was headed to Nowhere." He explained "However the plane landed just a few hours ago, so more than likely they are only about a few minutes away give or take." He added.
Choosing to ignore the sarcastic comment Katz began to think as to why his dog hating sister would be coming here of all places, but as "luck" would have it Computer answered the questions that were starting to form in his mind.
"If you're wondering which you no doubt are as to why your sister is coming here, it should be noted that Courage is the one who not only reunited her with Bunny but also saved Bunny from that atrocious Mad Dog." Computer informed.
"Wait you're serious?" Katz asked astonished by this revelation.
"Do I have any reason not to be?" Computer asked in return "In all honesty though shouldn't YOU know that, given the fact that you seem to be aware she and Bunny are together now?" He added.
"Well...no, iI found out that they were back together when she sent me a postcard from Paris a while back, but it didn't have any sort of details as to HOW they were reunited." Katz explained.
"Ah." Was all Computer had to say in response "Regardless of that though you might want to prepare for their arrival starting with your biggest issue." He stated causing the other to raise a brow once more.
"What do you mean by that?" He asked.
"Look outside you twit." Computer replied before turning off it's monitor.
Confused as to what it meant by that statement Katz upon looking through the massive hole in the room felt his eyes widen as the sight of Courage running away from Weremole graced his vision.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Courage screamed as he ran from the house trying to gain as much distance as possible from the being whom was right on his tail.
"RAWR!" Weremole roared as it chased after him.
For reasons unknown to him much like everything else the moment the muffled voices of the villains suddenly went silent, so Courage letting curiosity take control peeked ever so slightly out of the kitchen door only to be greeted by the face of Weremole directly on the other side. Of course like any sane and rational person upon coming face to face with a ravenous Weremole would do, Courage screamed bloody murder before bolting out of the backdoor with the Weremole soon following after. Unfortunately for Courage however, as he continued to run away his ears picked up that instead of running after him the Weremole had begun to burrow after him. Knowing very well at how fast Weremole could dig, Courage mustering up as much strength and willpower as he had pushed himself to run even faster at the slight possibility he would be able to keep ahead of Weremole.
Alas though even if he were able to somehow miraculously stay ahead of the ravenous beast that chased him, as Courage after making a sharp turn around the farmhouse in hopes of slowing the other down made his way towards the road, he was soon stopped dead in his tracks by another horrific sight. Much like the first time he encountered it a black puddle resided directly in front of the farmhouse, but what made it TRULY horrifying was that it's...master? began to rise from it causing him to shake in terror.
"Courage~" The voice of Queenie called as she finished ascending from the water.
Although as he normally would in a scenario such as this, Courage wanted nothing more than to scream in terror but his ever so faithful ears picked up once more on the sound of Weremole burrowing towards him, it being much louder now though due to the distance being shortened. So instead of standing there petrified and screaming Courage not wanting to be chewed and eaten by either of them simply bolted off in a diagonal direction heading straight towards the road. However as Courage continued to run and his ears were far too focused on listening for Weremole's digging, he failed to notice a taxi cab speeding down the road heading for the farm house as he neared the road.
"COURAGE LOOK OUT!" Queenie called out trying to stop him from being hit.
Unfortunately her words fell on fear stuffed ears for as Courage reached the road he didn't notice the taxi until it was about twelve feet or so away from him. Which to be fair is still a pretty sizable distance but taking into consideration as to how fast it was going it would be upon him in seconds.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" He screamed once more now this time fully able to let out his fear in his usual way but also frozen in place due to said fear.
Unable to do anything but stare wide eyed and scream Courage waited to be hit head on by the vehicle, that is until it's driver suddenly slammed on the brakes causing the tires to screech as it soon enough came to stop mere inches from his face. Amazed that the vehicle was able to stop so well, Courage sadly wasn't able to enjoy his avoidance of the collision for the moment he stopped screaming through a combination of his fear, his exhaustion from running, and overall not so healthy state he sure enough passed out in the road. Thankfully though, the moment the cab was stopped the two back doors opened only to reveal the cab's passengers as none other than Bunny and Kitty.
"COURAGE!" They both shouted before running over to him.
Kneeling down to the ground so they could ensure he wasn't hurt, both Bunny and Kitty after seeing no visible wounds on his person did note that he appeared to have bags under his eyes, as well as seemed to be a bit skinny since the last time they saw him.
"Oh my what's happened to him?!" Bunny asked worried sick as the sight of their hero mortified her.
"I don't know, but we need to get him inside right away!" Kitty exclaimed as Bunny scooped him into her arms.
"HEY!" Di Lung shouted as he poked his head out of the window "What about my money you fool?!" He asked obviously not concerned for the dog he just avoided hitting.
"Do you SERIOUSLY think we're going to pay you after you nearly hit Courage?!" Kitty questioned taken aback by not only his lack of concern but also where his mind seemed to be.
"Dumb dog ran in front of me, if it weren't for you would've gotten what he deserved HAHAHAHA!" He responded with a laugh showing just how much he didn't care.
However, as he laughed at the thought of hitting Courage and either flattening him or sending him flying away, Di Lung failed to notice Kitty walk up to him whilst bringing out her claws until she was right next to him and began to savagely claw his face. Meanwhile as she did this, Bunny who was just about to run towards the farmhouse was shocked to see two people one a person and a mole of some kind run towards her.
"COURAGE!" Queenie shouted as she reached them whilst trying to take him from Bunny's arms, which of course caused Bunny to pull away from her reach.
"Who are you?" She asked immediately not even bothering to assume that this strange duo were friends of Courage.
"We are two of Courage's caretakers, so if you don't mind I'd like it if you hand him over to me." Queenie answered a bit irritated at this reaction towards them.
"And why exactly should I believe you?" Bunny asked not budging on the matter in the slightest.
"Because if you don't then we'll just take him by force." Queenie replied to which Weremole nodded in agreement.
Thankfully though before any kind of violence or regretted words could occur, the sudden sound of a clap rang out from behind Queenie and Weremole causing them as well as Bunny to look behind them, to which they found Katz standing a foot or so away.
"There will be no such action." He stated before walking over slowly keeping his eyes on the two as he did "This person is Bunny, she happens to be the love of my sister's life, and if you so much as insinuate any sort of harm towards her I will happily take you both to my motel to have some alone time with my lovelies, understand?" He asked earning two simultaneous nods and gulps as a response.
"Katz what're you doing here?" Bunny asked as she looked towards him her eyes widened from surprise.
"Believe it or not Bunny what these two stated was true, they as well as myself and a few others are now the caretakers of the dog." Katz answered pointing towards Courage as he did.
Unfortunately for Bunny though before she could ask anymore questions, the sounds of suitcases hitting the ground were heard before an audible gasp soon followed.
"BIG BROTHER?!" Kitty asked before promptly running into him and pulling him into a massive hug.
"H-Hello there Kitty g-good to see you as well..." Katz replied straining a bit to speak due to his sister's iron clad bear hug.
"Oh what a wondrous surprise this is! we were only expecting to find Courage here!" She exclaimed causing her eyes to widen as a thought entered her mind "Wait..." She began before pulling away from the hug to look at Katz, her once present smile now becoming a look of seriousness and anger "Brother do NOT tell me you are behind Courage's current condition..." She warned knowing very well what some of her brother's favorite "hobbies" were.
"I can assure you Kitty I and the others are not responsible for the dog's current condition." He replied before looking towards Courage "With that being said though, it would be best if we continued this within the farmhouse where we can properly deal with this situation." He added.
And thus with Weremole and Queenie carrying the luggage as punishment for their attitudes towards Bunny, the group made their way towards the farmhouse with an unconscious Courage in tow.
