MEEP! Sorry, a little excited right now! And thanks again to NightmareBeforeChristmasFreak for her compliments & help. She really helped me know my Duck Dodgers as much as her! Here's to you, my friend!
The trial is HALARIOUS! I laughed, writing it! Infact, I couldn't even hold in my snickers!! Oh, & Dodgers, you're out of pizza crackes! LOL! Well, here's part 3 of my story!
That night…
X-2 was sitting in his cell, just looking down at the floor, with a sad look on his face.
"Why is this happening?" he thought.
"Psst! Hey, Martian!" Darkstar whispered from the window. X-2 turned around.
"What do you want?" he whispered back, snapping.
"I can bustht you out of here!"
"Why would you want to? To get me in more trouble? You're the reason I'm in here!"
"Just come on…" X-2 hesitated, but, after a long pause, he decided he had nothing to lose. He reached up for Darkstar's hand. Darkstar grabbed it & pulled him through the window.
"Now, come on!"
"Where are we going?"
"You'll sthee!" Darkstar then took out a blaster & aimed it at him. X-2 gasped. Darkstar shot him with the blaster & he passed out.
"Ok, here'sth part 3 of your fun, Commander…" He picked him up & ran down the street.
Later…
BANG! A big hole was blasted through the wall of a brick building. Darkstar was revealed running through, holding X-2 by his neck. X-2 was now awake.
"Let… me… go…" was all he managed to say. For, Darkstar was choking him.
"Never!" Darkstar then pulled out a shining gem & blasted the police cars out of the way. Then, he through X-2 towards them, sliding him across the street.
"Oh…" X-2 said. By then, Darkstar was gone & the police's car light was, once again, shining on X-2.
"Not again…"
The next morning…
Lilly & Venom were walking through the Intergalactic Prison with Coni, following the police man, Dave. He once again lead them to X-2's cell, where he was still sitting on his bed, with his hands on his cheeks, looking sadly at the floor.
"Marvin… we're here… again…" Lilly said. He looked up. Then, he got uo from his seat & walked to them.
"Alright, this time, YOU tell them everything!" Dave said.
"Fine… I will… I found it out. There's a duck, who keeps doing this. He's the one causing the crimes! He kidnaps me & throws me into the scene as soon as the police get there, then, he runs off! He looked just like… Dodgers! Except, he only wore white clothes & he didn't sound like Dodgers…"
"Oh, really? And I suppose you're blaming Captain Dodgers for it, huh?" Dave asked.
"No, no, no, no, no, no! That's all I know!"
"Really…?"
"YES!"
"I think Marvin's telling the truth!" Lilly said.
"Yeah." Venom agreed.
"Hey, what about--" Coni began.
"Alright, you guys have done enough for today." Dave said.
"Aw, already?" Venom whined.
"YES!"
"Ok, ok. Don't have a cow!" Venom, Coni & Lilly began walking down the halls.
"We'd better do something before this gets out of hand…" Lilly thought.
Later…
X-2 was sitting in his cell, watching two of the guards, talking, trying to decide what to do. Each time one talked, he looked at that one. Then, he looked at the other one. Whoever was talking, he moved his head to.
"This has got to stop!" one said.
"I know, but, what do we do?" the other said.
"Well, I don't know, but, the owner of this place put us in charge of what happens, so, what happens?"
"Hmm… uh… I don't know… 20 years in jail?"
"Are you out of your mind?"
"What? You got a better idea?"
"Well, I heard there's a--"
"Well, Martian General Z-9 had a suggestion this morning…"
"And that is?"
The next day…
Lilly, Coni & Venom were walking to X-2's cell. They got there & saw him sitting on his bed again, crying.
"Marvin! Why are you crying?" Lilly exclaimed.
"I-I heard two of the guards talking last night…"
"So?" Coni said.
"SO, they s-said th-that Z-9 had an idea of what to do because they think I've been doing dangerous things…"
"And that idea is?" X-2 hesitated. He tried to breath calmly.
"Execution… with that… that thing in the Protectorate Headquarters…"
"What thing? And what does execution mean?" Coni said.
"Oh, my gosh! What on MARS is he thinking? He can't do that! Uh… what thing?" Lilly shouted.
"That new Garbage Disposal!" X-2 shouted.
"WHAT? You can't be serious! Uh… what are they gonna do with that?"
"You know what happens to food when you throw it down the garbage disposal drain?"
"No…" Lilly said in a dramatic voice. X-2 nodded his head yes.
"WHAT ON MARS ARE THEY THINKING? THEY CAN'T DO THAT! WHY ON MARS WOULD THE PROTECTORATE EVEN LET THEM?" Lilly screamed.
"HEY! BE QUIET IN THERE!" they heard a police man yell.
"SORRY!" Lilly yelled back. She looked at X-2, who's eyes were filled with tears. He was shivering in fear.
"Marvin, don't worry, I'm sure they can't possibly go through with something that serious without real evidence!" Lilly said, trying to cheer him up. X-2 sniffed.
"Really?"
"Sure… I mean, why would anyone in there right mind want to try to prove more of this if it never really happened?"
"I… don't know…"
"We'll come back as soon as we can. I think it's time to do something about this…"
"Th-There having a trial tomorrow…"
"Then, we'll be there!"
"Really?"
"Of course!"
"Yeah, we totally care about you!" Venom added. Coni was staring behind her. Lilly poked her with her elbow.
"What?" Lilly just glared. Then, she looked back at X-2.
"Like I said, we'll be there. What time is it?"
"I… don't know, either…"
"Well, then, I guess we'll have to find out. Come on, guys! We don't have a minute to lose!" Lilly pushed the others along & they ran down the halls. X-2 just looked back down.
Lilly, Venom & Coni ran down the halls of the building.
"Ok, listen, we find out what time it is, go home, get some sleep & be ready in the morning, got it?" Lilly said, while they were running.
"Got it!" the other two said, saluting her.
The next day…
Lilly, Coni & Venom were walking down the street. Lilly looked at her watch.
"Whoa, look at the time! And where did I get this watch? We'd better hurry, or, we'll miss the trial!" she said. All three of the cute Martian girls ran down the street as so not to be late for the trial.
Later…
"Order! Order!" the judge shouted, banging a hammer on the big stand. X-2 sighed, sitting at the witness stand, looking at the ground with a look that said,
"Geese! We know that!"
"Who brings the charges against this Martian?" the judge asked the audience. Lilly waved her hand in the air.
"Um… I don't think any particular person charged anyone in this trial, sir. Uh… but, I suppose Dave could tell you the rest…" she said.
"Yes, I can." Dave said. Everyone looked behind to see Dave, sitting in a chair.
"Although, me, Venom & Coni are the defense. We know that much." Lilly added.
"Ok, Mrs. Defense! I'll do the talking, now!" Dave said.
"Fine, go on…"
"For the past few nights, the Intergalactic Space Bank was robbed three times & police cars were tipped & blown up. Every time this happened, he was the only person at the scene." Dave pointed his thumb to X-2. He looked up, knowing who he was talking about.
"There for, we've had two ideas for a punishment. Either, he spends 20 years in prison or he will be executed with the Protectorate's new garbage disposal."
"Well, geese! Isn't that a little harsh?" Lilly asked.
"A little? More like a ton!" Coni shouted.
"Now, listen, you, I--" Dave began.
"UM-- HEY, EXCUSE ME! I NEED SOME NACHOS OVER HERE!" Dodgers shouted from another table.
"Oh, really, Dodgers? And what is your side of the story?"
"Uh… what story?"
"What do you think should happen?"
"I don't know, what were the options? I either get some nachos or go home?"
"NO, you feather brained moron!"
"Then, what are they?"
"I already told you!"
"Put simply, Dodgers, I either spend the rest of my life in jail or die." X-2 explained in a way that Dodgers may understand.
"Oh, well, what kind of a choice is that? If I were Mr. What's-it-to-ya, I'd just simply go into town & buy more nachos than I can carry!" X-2 rolled his eyes.
"Well, then, as far as my options go, don't I get a third one?" X-2 asked.
"We're working on it… I doubt it…" Dave replied.
"Well, isn't that great!" X-2 said sarcastically.
"Ok, on with the calling mumbo jumbo!" Dodgers said.
"Right. Defense calls Dodgers to the stand." Lilly said. Dodgers got up & walked to the witness stand, next to X-2.
"Dodgers, did you see anything when all this was happening?" Lilly asked him.
"Nope! All I was doing was… well, actually, I was watching the whole thing, while stuffing potato chips & onion rings in my mouth, at a non stop paces… & look at all this garbage I have in my pockets!" Dodgers pulled out several wrappers at his last sentence.
"Ok-ay… so, if you were watching the whole thing, the, what did you see?"
"Hmm… I saw my paper. It was in my hand, & I reading the words: 'I like potato chips!' in my own hand writing!"
"Ok, Dodgers, please, do get to the point!" X-2 said.
"Right. Dodgers, what parts of the crime did you see?" Lilly asked.
"Oh, well, there was… uh… cars… lots & lots of cars…" Lilly & Venom exchanged looks, as if to be saying,
"He's hopeless!"
"Ok, then, Dodgers, I guess you can go back to your table." Lilly said.
"Ok." Dodgers shrugged & walked back to his table.
"Well, what a help that was…" X-2 said, in a sarcastic voice.
"Ok, now, Defense calls Dave to the stand." Dave stepped up, next to X-2. They glared at each other.
"Um… why do you have to automatically say that it was Commander? Do you have proof that he did it?" Venom asked.
"Of course he doesn't!" X-2 shouted.
"Shut it, Martian! Well, that's about as much proof as we can get…" Dave turned his attention back to Venom after his first sentence.
"Ok. I suppose it may be. But, what about what Commander says? What did he say?"
"Well, ask him!"
"Fine, I will. And you can go back to your table."
"Ok." Dave walked back to his table.
"Commander X-2, would you mind telling us what you think of this?"
"Well, for one thing, I think this it's very strange because the last thing I remember before this all happened is being in my bed, asleep."
"Ok. And, then, what happened?"
"Um… I can't remember except, I got shoved through a hole in the wall, then, I got a bunch of dust in my eyes & couldn't see."
"This isn't good. She's getting to a point." Dodgers thought. In his thoughts, though, he sounded more like Drake Darkstar. He looked at Venom.
"Hmm… so, maybe that means--"
"KETCHUP!" Dodgers screamed.
"Um… yeah… maybe this means someone--"
"MILK & COOKIES!" Dodgers screamed.
"I said, maybe that--"
"FLAPJACKS!"
"DODGERS!"
"What? I'm hungry!" Venom sighed, heavily.
"Um… maybe--"
"LA, LA, LA! LA, LA, LA, LI, LA! I'M SINGING! LAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"DODGERS! SHUT UP!"
"WHAT?"
"UH! I give up!"
Later…
Venom, Coni & Lilly were sitting on the steps outside Coni's house.
"That trial was a total disaster!" Lilly said.
"I know! Dodgers, trying to sing, HUH!" Coni shouted.
"And, now, because if it, they didn't even believe us!" Venom said.
"Great, now, I guess, we'll have to prove him innocent ourselves!" Lilly said.
"But, how on Mars are we going to do that?" Coni shouted.
"I don't know… but, we'll think of something…" Lilly replied.
"I hope you're right…" Venom said. They all sighed.
That night…
X-2 was sleeping, in his bed, still hanging from the wall. Drake Darkstar appeared in the window above him. He opened his eyes & met his sight.
"What the?"
"Hope you like your future, Bucket head!"
"Oh, shut up! I want to at least get a good night sleep! I don't need you making me have nightmares!"
"Oh, really?"
"Duh…"
"You won't be able to sthleep tomorrow."
"What, is tomorrow when the you-know-what takes place?"
"That depends. What'sth a you-know-what?"
"You know what!"
"Oh, now, I know. Actually, it'sth the day AFTER tomorrow."
"Then, beat it!"
"Why?"
"Because, I'm tired!"
"Stho?"
"SO, get out of here! Some one is going to catch you!"
"And you care, why?" X-2 paused.
"On second thought, stay here as long as you want, but, when those cops find out that YOU'RE the one who's getting into trouble, don't come crying to me!"
"Well, sthince you put it that way, I'll leave, but, you'd better dream of Lilly while you can!"
"And what's that supposed to mean?"
"Lilly Lover!"
"Aw, shut up & leave if you're gonna!"
"Fine… bye, Lilly Lover!" And with that, Darkstar disappeared from the window. X-2 pulled the covers back over his body.
"Creep…" he said under his breath.
The next morning…
X-2 opened his eyes to the sun, shining through his window. He stretched & yawned.
"Well, look who'sth up!" X-2 looked up to see Drake Darkstar in the window like last night.
"Well, look who's a jerk!" X-2 replied.
"And?"
"And a smart-aleck!"
"Whatever. Here come the guardsth…"
"And?"
"And, I'm leaving. Bye, now!"
"UH! I hate him!"
"Well, look who's up." one of the guards said, opening the door.
"Well, look who said that for the second time today."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Uh… nothing… what do you want?"
"You have some visitors."
"Well, bring them in…"
"You guys have fun chatting…" The guard walked off, leaving the three little Martian girls by the door.
"Hi." Lilly said.
"What's up?" Coni asked.
"Not much, just waking up… & to my bad luck again, I woke up to that jerk Darkstar!"
"Ok. So, when's that thing taking place again?"
"Tomorrow… don't remind me…"
"Sorry."
"I have an idea on what we can do, though." Venom said.
"Really? What is it?" X-2 asked. He walked to them. He was on the other side of the cage door, but, he grabbed the bars & listened with the group.
"Well…" Venom lowered her voice, almost in a whisper.
"My plan is: two of us will do a show for Z-9 to stall the execution, while the other one goes back to the bank to find more evidence. Oh, & do you guys know any other girls who'd like to sing to Lilly's CD?"
"I do." Lilly said. "Reesa. She loves my CD! You, Coni & her can do a show while I find… the cameras! They couldn't have checked the cameras!"
"Ok, then."
"Well, I do like watching shows…" X-2 said.
"And plus, this just has to work!" Lilly added.
"Ok, then, I'll watch the show, while the others watch & wait for Lilly to get back…"
"Oh, & I have another idea… just in case we don't convince them all the way…" Lilly said. She whispered in Venom's ear.
"No way……" Venom said.
"Come on, Venom!" Lilly said.
"No! Why do I have to do it?"
"Because, I'm sure it will be very easy to get him to fall for you!"
"Oh, fine. I'll do it, but, I'm doing it for Commander."
"Good! Then, let's go home & get a good rest. We'll need the energy for the show tomorrow." Coni said.
"Ok. But, uh… it's 7:00 Am in the morning…" Lilly said.
"Well, then, let's plan it out more while Commander does… whatever it is… he does here…"
"Oh, basically, I just sit around all day & eat airplane food…"
X-2 said.
"Whoa…"
"Oh, it's not that bad… just boring…"
"I get it… well, we'll come back later… we got something to plan out… don't we, girls?" Lilly said.
"Yep. And, we need to go get Reesa." Venom said.
"Uh… who's Reesa?" Coni asked.
"I know where she lives." Lilly said.
"Ok, so, take us!" Coni said.
"Good luck, girls!" X-2 said.
"Thanks, Marv!" Lilly gave him a soft kiss on his cheek. He blushed, wildly.
"Let's go." Lilly said. And with that, they all ran down the halls.
"Wow… what a bunch…" X-2 said to himself.
To Be Continued…
Aw, cute! He's blushing! Wow, Darkstar really is a jerk! They should call him Drake Dorkstar! ROFL! Hope you liked it! I'll have part 4 up tomorrow! I promise!
