The Redwall Sues Book I: The Start of It All
Chapter II
Sues and Stus
Or
Giant Teddy Bears!
Or
Things are getting Hopeless
Or
If I Continue To Name This, You Shall Know Everything That Happens In It
Ker-whump!
Martin jumped, in fright, eight feet in the air, banged his head on the stone ceiling with an audible Bonkk!, and came down, seeing stars. Gonff also jumped at the sound, but, being heavier than Martin, only jumped five feet, which is still impressive.
"WHAT ON SALAWHATSIT WAS THAT!" The warrior roared, after recovering from both shock and banged head (the magic of fanfiction allowed his head to be entirely whole and well)
Gonff's voice was back, and he said rather cheerfully, "Don't have a clue, matey. Let's find out!" He skipped to the door, and yanked it open, regardless of what might be out there…
Outside the Abbey…
Redwin dodged the seemingly endless sea of shiny blades, until she finally reached the end of the Sue pack. She sat down, reaching for her bag with the anti-Sue paste in it, and suddenly leapt up.
"Yes! Griffle! Branche!"
The two SueRidders jumped into the melee, yelling, followed by Redwin.
At the SueRidder headquarters…
Hyule shouted himself hoarse at a sue, who was attempting to call him.
The SueRidder smartphone was held at arm's length away from the otter's face, and he bellowed,
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME? NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! STOP TRYING TO CALL ME! I AM NEVER QUITTING MY JOB, NO! NO! AND I AM NOT GOING TO CONVINCE MY SUERIDDERS TO QUIT THEIR JOBS! NO! NO!"
With that, Hyule broke down into tears of frustration, pressing a button on his phone. The phone immediately went blank, and the lovely sue-voice was cut off.
A SueRidder, Jekk, an ebony mouse, and asked,
"What's the matter, boss?"
"A Sue was trying to get us to quit our jobs!"
Jekk blinked.
"Really?"
"YEEEEEEEEESSSS!"
Inside the Abbey…
Gonff ripped the door open, and…
A giant teddy bear had come crashing down on everybeast's head.
Giant fluffy teddy bear.
Liva was emerging beneath the head, grumbling, and Jeyla was kicking it's paw off her head. Drall was nowhere to seen. Lunarraii was fleeing down a staircase, and Jeyla yelled,
"NOOOOOO!"
and thundered after her.
Drall's voice came from around the middle of the teddy bear.
"Mmmff! Grrmmff! Pfft! Rrmph!"
Liva, Martin and Gonff pulled the bear off the mouse.
They all began talking at once, even Martin.
"What on earth was that?"
"How did it come crashing down like that?"
A loud voice came booming out-
"THE MAGIC OF FANFICTION! THAT'S HOW!"
Then the voice was gone.
They were silent.
A second giant teddy bear came crashing down, sandwiching the creatures in between it and the first one.
"Grrmmfft! Brrffft! Crmmff!"
Outside the Abbey…
Branche was contacting the SueRidder headquarters.
"There are more than we have ever dealt with. We need more SueRidders, besides the two you promised to send."
Hyule nodded.
"Sounds like a lot. I'll just send all the ones who are ready."
"Thank you."
Rim and Rin, Reffa, Drubb, Gertana, Rettel, Tallelm, Tache, Wyn, and Reyla went off, their faces set in a grim expression.
Reffa gulped uneasily. "Everybeast, GET OUT YER WEAPONS! NOW!"
Gripping their swords, bows, staff and spears, all Sue-proofed, they turned around…
Sues.
Stus.
Everwhere.
Outside the Abbey…
"I called the SueRidder headquarters. They're sending over more SueRidders."
"Good, Branche, we can't hold these guys off for much longer…"
Redwin dodged a swirling gold sword, attempting the same trick she had pulled on Lunarraii…
The mouse she was dealing with kicked her in the face.
"GRRRRAAARRR!"
She lashed out with her rapier…
And the mouse blocked it with a second sword that appeared out of nowhere. The Stu was now brandishing two swords, gargantuan blades, one gold and one silver, both studded with millions on jewels, some the size of eggs, and some the size of ants.
The mouse himself was encased in perfectly fitting gold armor, with a long green, swirling cape. The armor was so covered in giant, flawless, richly colored gems, that the only normal creature who would have been able to carry it for more than a minute was a Badger Lord.
His plumed helm was thrown back, revealing a handsome face with carefully chiseled features, and eyes that gleamed black, like polished onyx.
Redwin snarled, losing a little temper. The mouse swirling the flashing blades smiled, revealing rows of perfect teeth, like polished pearls.
She slashed at the handsome face, only to be deflected again. Hoping to catch him off guard, she leapt in the air, and swept her rapier downwards.
The flawless mouse blocked her with the swirling swords, and Redwin sighed unhappily. This stu was a tough one.
She heard Branche give a shout of exasperation. "Where are the SueRidders Hyule said he'd send over?"
In the Abbey…
"Grrmph! Rrrfft! Gmff! Ffft!"
The mousethief, Abbey warrior, and SueRidders struggled underneath the teddy bear, making odd noises.
Gonff was the first to free himself, and he danced a jig of relief.
"Yesyesyesyesyes! Freedom!"
"Grrmmfft!"
Martin came next, and sighed at his friend.
"Since you're free, you could've helped."
Then he gave the teddy bear a yank, but the stuffed creature didn't budge.
Liva and Drall freed themselves without too much difficulty, and the four immediately yelled,
"AFTER THE SUE!"
And ran, a bit late, in the direction Jeyla and the Sue took. Then…
A third teddy bear, this time sparkly and pink, thumped down on them.
"IT'S RAINING GARGANTUAN TEDDY BEARS!" Was all Gonff had time to shriek, as it sped towards him.
In the Mossflower wood…
Reyla gazed at the Sues surrounding them.
There was something odd about them. Somehow, they looked more…Sueish and floaty.
A lithe young fox with pale silver violet wavy fur wore a robe that resembled silver spun to a liquid cloth, with clear purple velvety eyes that shone like amethysts, the longest ebony lashes, a belt the color of ripe grapes, a crescent shaped mark beneath each eye, and flawless features. But something, something, stirred in the ferret's mind, that awoke a deep feeling of dread…
That's when it hit her. They were Sue Spirits. A golden light radiated from them, and they were more insubstantial than other Sues. The horrors floated above the ground and shimmered.
Reyla recognized the first Stu she had destroyed, a mousemaid with bronze fur even shinier than most sues, eyes like amethysts laced with gold, silver paws and a slim waist, like all sues.
The Sue glared at her with revenge in her jewel like eyes, and a gold spear tipped with a sharp shard of amethyst.
The ferretmaid gripped her spear tighter, even though she knew the weapon would be useless against the Sues and Stus. Dealing with Sue Spirits was for Elites. Not young ferrets just out of Apprenticeship. Reyla reached for the SueRidder phone, and instantly the mouse said in a clear fluty voice,
"No, Reyla."
The ferret swelled with indignation. How dare she address her, using her name! How dare she figure out with Sue powered brain that she was about to contact the SueRidder headquarters!
But all she could do was glare in outrage at the perfect mouse in front of her.
Rim and Rin's faces were set in identical expressions of grim acceptance. They were outnumbered by not just Sues, but Sue Spirits. They recognized a few they had destroyed together, and a few that their friends had destroyed. The lithe gorgeous squirrel who died an apparently 'tragic' death at the paws of the twin's friend, a mouse named Floret (who was enchanted by a strong Sue spell a season back), the mouse with bright strikingly green eyes, and the fox maid who had a coat like polished ebony and perfect golden paws.
The onyx fox with gold paws advanced, vengeance gleaming in her gorgeous eyes like sapphires, twirling a giant gold sword.
The five gave a despairing glance at one another, and prepared for the inevitable…
Inside the Abbey...
Gonff freed himself first, then Martin, then the two SueRidders.
Liva immediately buried her face in her paws and began sobbing.
Martin glanced at her, puzzled.
"What's the matter?"
"W-we l-l-los-st the S-sue!"
"Well, we can go after her..."
"YEEEESSSSS!"
The squirrelmaid leapt up, and sped down the stairs, the others making feeble attempts to catch up with her.
In a different part of the Abbey…
Jeyla sighed. The Sue was certainly fast.
Lunarraii sped onwards, driven by the amazing Suepower in her. Her breath was neither hoarse, nor was it ragged, and she did not even break a sweat. Even though she was traveling at around 50 mph.
Jeyla raced onwards, not letting the Sue out of her sight for an instant. Where were Drall and Liva? She cannoned into Branche, who was searching for Martin. "Jeyla! You're here! Why-" She broke off as the otter said, "Sorry, marm! Can't stop to chat!" and raced off.
Branche knew what Jeyla was chasing, by the concentrated gleam in her eyes. It could only be a Sue.
"Oh, no. NOT MORE!"
The squirrel yelled in exasperation.
In the Wood…
"YAAAAHH!"
Gertana and Rettel yelled in unision, as the Sue Spirits closed in on them.
Gertana lashed out with her simple steel sword as the squirrel she had destroyed in her apprentice years reached a silvery paw towards her. The mousemaid screamed as the Spirit touched her paw to Gertana's brow.
"AAAAAIIII!"
Glittery pink and silver lights obscured her vision, and a fluid feeling spread through her limbs...
Suddenly, strong thin paws reached and clamped around her waist, heaving her upwards and away…
"Run as fast as y'can, miss! Call ol' Hyule, and tell him all!"
Gertana felt herself sail over the fighting crowd, and land in a crumpled heap in the forest floor. She opened her eyes.
Her cousin, Rettel, was bravely fending off a broad, muscular squirrel with fur of golden copper, and she heard Reyla yell horribly.
Fumbling for her phone, she clutched her sword closer. As she picked the SueRidder phone from her pocket, she saw Drubb disappear behind a beautiful haremaid.
She punched the SueRidder headquarter number with increasing urgency.
Hyule's exasperated voice came from the device.
"What now? Somebeast forgot to bring their wea-"
"NOO! HYULE, IT'S SUE SPIRITS!" The mousemaid roared at the top of her lungs.
"W-w-what? N-not-t S-sue S-sp-pir-rit-tss?"
Gertana screamed into the phone.
"EXACTLY! AND THERE'S ONLY TWO ELITES HERE! WYN AND TACHE!"
There was a dull thudding sound at the other end, and the connection was lost entirely.
The mousemaid barely had time to think, and…
Strong, lean, scarlet paws clamped over her mouth.
"We meet again SueRidder mousemaiden."
