Or

I Don't Know What Else to Name This Chapter, So I'll Name It This

Outside the Abbey…

Redwin shouted to Griffle,

"Where's Branche?"

"Inside the Abbey, looking for Martin!"

"GAAH!"

A Sue sprang out of the melee, aiding the perfect Stu with two swords, against Redwin.

"NOT MORE!"

Redwin fought desperately, leaping out of range of the swirling blades. The pair followed her, as she dodged a glittering mace.

She sighed, knowing she could not escape the two. The mousemaid yelled angrily,

"You evil squirrel! Remember the time you destroyed my twin? You shall pay!"

Redwin did remember, and she saw the likeness between the two. The silver fur, the paws with star markings, the giant amber eyes…

The Stu and Sue twirled their blades, every move the Stu made was also made by the Sue. The identical movements made Redwin dizzy, and she eventually yelled in frustration, "Oh, move it, c'mon!"

At the SueRidder headquarters…

Hyule opened his eyes to find Jekk and Redore, a tall, lean squirrel, leaning over him.

"You okay, boss? You fainted."

Hyule cringed as a flood of memories surged back.

"Yes, I'm fine, Jekk. Maybe."

Jekk's expression registered confusion.

"Maybe? Maybe?"

Redore raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean, maybe?"

Hyule buried his face in his paws and screeched,

"SUE SPIRITS ARE ATTACKING! NOOOO!"

Jekk and Redore stared at him.

"Surely you don't mean-"

"Not them-"

"You have got to be kidding, boss-"

"Never, ever would I-"

"Just stressed out-"

"Too many things happening-"

"Even the readers got confused-"

"Yeah, really-"

"NOOOO! I AM NOT KIDDING! I AM NOT OVERLY STRESSED OUT! Well, maybe I am…"

"Yeah, boss, too stressed out and confused!"

"Wait…no, not confused! Gertana just called me, and she told me that Sue Spirits are in Mossflower, tainting it with perfect evil!"

"Oh, no. NOOOOO!"

Redore yelled in exasperation and terror, as Hyule and Jekk clamped their paws over their ears.

At the Abbey…

Griffle shouted at the flawless mouse in front of him, as she twirled a shimmering blade twelve feet long.

The mouse was dressed in a glittery blue tunic with long purple sleeves that swirled with every move she made. Her eyes were like a diamond rimmed with a crimson gold shade. Other than that, she was the typical sue, tiny paws, waist, blah blah blah…

A different part of the Abbey grounds…

Redwin swung her beat up rope with the grappling hook onto the walls. If she could get out of the way, she then would sue-proof her arrows…

She climbed until she was nearly at the top of the walls, and she grabbed an arrow, preparing to sue-proof it. The red squirrel unscrewed the tin lid of her disgusting paste, and dipped an arrow in it. She grimaced at the stench, and was careful not to get it on her paws. The last time she had accidentally touched it, the scent stayed for weeks.

Redwin let the paste dry a little, then fitted it in her bow, and took careful aim at the mouse Sue attacking Griffle. She squinted down, eyeing her swift quarry. The red squirrel pulled the bowstring taut, and…

Splat!

An overly bright pink liquid infected with the sparklies lay where the Sue was previously. Griffle glanced up at Redwin and gave her a small grin of approval and thanks, then launched himself at a sleek gold otter with a bejeweled pike.

Redwin dipped an arrow in the paste, and allowed it to harden a little before fitting it into her bowstring, choosing a fox the shade of the sky on a moonless night, with a crescent moon on each cheek. She drew her arm back, released, and…missed entirely.

The fox Sue leapt out of the arrow's path, screaming in apparent fright.

"YEEEK!"

The Sues stared up at the dangling squirrel, and drew out giant bows and fitted them with equally giant arrows.

Redwin sped up the rope, climbing as fast as she possibly could. She could feel the Sues eyeing her, drawing bows and arrows, preparing to shoot.

She made it up in time, for as soon as she vaulted over the walltops, arrows rained down around her. Redwin ran out of range of the glittery arrows, and prepared some arrows with the paste.

At the SueRidder headquarters…

Hyule sighed. He'd have to get ten more SueRidders to send to the Abbey. No, five Elites to help in the Sue Spirit battle, and several to aid Redwin, Griffle and Branche in the fight at the Abbey.

He left his office, and out to the meeting room unhappily. He'd have to call the SueRidders out, and hope that their courage didn't undermine entirely. Wait, what was he thinking. They were brave…with unease, Hyule remembered Acrove, Wyn, Elzine and Liva's reaction to the news he had brought that morning.

He pulled the rope attached to a bell, and SueRidders came flooding in.

They seated themselves around a large round table, worry etched in their faces. Hyule glanced at the empty seats. Redwin, Griffle, Branche, Liva, Jeyla, Drall, Torc, all those who left.

But there was one extra seat empty. Hyule raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Who is missing?"

Everybeast shrugged, looking a bit confused.

Suddenly, the wooden doors opened, and something landed neatly on the very center of the table. A pair of crossed katanas.

There was a flash of blue light, and everybeast turned to see what was happening.

The light cleared, revealing a brown furred, broad shouldered squirrel in a blue silk shirt, scarlet cape, and a purple hat. He bowed theatrically, a smile on his handsome face.

"Ah, Lord Vrel, thank you for attending the meeting."

The squirrel responded, "Of course, Hyule. Why would I not?"

He retrieved his katanas with a slight flourish, and seated himself in the chair beside Rellyne, a pretty young red squirrel.

Rellyne gave Lord Vrel a shy smile, and he smiled back at her as he tucked the pair of weapons into his belt.

Hyule licked his lips nervously.

"We, er, have a, uh, problem."

Everybeast sat up a little straighter, listening to the leader's words intently.

"Er, Vien, have the SueSensors been working?"

Vien, a small skinny otter, shook his head. "They've been crazy lately, and I have absolutely no clue as to what's happening to 'em."

Hyule nodded. "Exactly. Sue Spirits are abroad, attacking the ten I sent to Redwall. I have no idea what happened to the others we sent to aid Griffle, Branche, and Redwin. You know, Acrove and Urrby."

Everybeast nodded, and Lord Vrel said, "Well, what are we going to do then? They aren't going to disappear on their own."

Hyule said, "True. We will have to send some to help at the Abbey, and some to assist against the Sue Spirits."

"Who will go to Mossflower to fight the Sue Spirits?"

A few paws were raised, but not many.

First, there was a tall, thin ferret named Terrat, training to be an Elite.

Then, Jonna, a small, skinny otter with light brown fur, and Rronde, a tall, muscular squirrel with silvery gray fur.

Last, a young hedgehog of medium height named Bwen and a muscular otter named Elrugg. All were Elites except Terrat, who was still training.

They quickly gathered up their weapons, garlic spray, and bag of SueRidder supplies, then left.

"Now, who will join Redwin, Griffle and Branche?"

This time, many paws were raised, including the scarlet gloved one of a certain brown furred squirrel.

First, the dashing Lord Vrel, who tossed the katanas into the air, where they crossed for a moment, before the squirrel caught them with ease, and Ullane, a slender young mouse.

After them, there were the mouse siblings Gerti and Mila.

Then, Elquine, a short lanky haremaid, Hevre, an Apprentice squirrel, and Burree, a plump mole.

Last came Drea, a young red squirrel maid just out of her Apprentice years.

They eight left the room to gather supplies for the battle ahead.

At the Abbey…

Redwin gingerly stepped over the Sue arrows, her bow ready. She dodged another hail of arrows, and went over to the edge of the walltops, hiding behind the battlements. Redwin pulled the string taut, and decided between a fox Stu or otter Sue. She chose the otter, figuring that it could do the most damage. The red squirrel took aim, and released the arrow.

Bang!

The former otter Sue exploded into an overly bright cloud of purple, (infected with the sparklies, of course) and golden glitter. Redwin frowned, staring at the cloud. It took the shape of an otter, and would have floated away up into the skies (which were now a mixture of pale azure and bright sea green, shimmering with the Sue disease spewing from the horde) had not Griffle thrown a well-aimed garlic-coated rock at it.

Redwin ducked another shower of arrows, scrambling desperately out of the way. Even the tiniest cut would mean Suedom. She grabbed another arrow, and fitted it in the bow.

On the Abbey grounds…

Griffle's sword was slowly becoming normal. Not Sue proofed any more, the blade would be hacked to bits by the unnatural Sue power in the gleaming gold swords of the Sues. It was already suffering a few chips and nicks. He took a moment to grab garlic spray from his bag and mist it onto his weapon's blade.

A ferret Stu hurled himself at the SueRidder, only to be sprayed with the garlic oil. The Stu slowly melted into an oily shimmery pink pool of liquid, and Griffle stepped over him. Too bad he didn't have enough garlic oil to use as a weapon against the Sues. It would be good defense.

Griffle's satisfied expression froze into one of horror as he watched the distance.

More Sue hordes. Many more.

On the walltops…

Redwin gazed about at the former normal Abbey. The grass was now a clear shade of emerald green, and the flowers that dotted the grounds were now jewel like colors, and their number had increased. The red sandstone walls were now shimmery, and the color was richer and deeper.

Sparkly, shimmery, pearly clouds graced the sky, now shades of pale azure, rich sea green, and shimmering hues of ocean blue. The bark of the trees was now a perfect mahogany, and the leaves were deep colors of jade. The Redwallers were barricaded in their Abbey, so the Sues could not get in. But unfortunately, there was one, and hopefully Branche was hunting her down.

Even the very air had taken on a glittery, unreal quality, and a scent like violets, lilies, roses and who knows what else hovered in the air, dangerous to breath in for too long.

Redwin sighed, wishing the SueRidders that Hyule promised to send would be there soon.

A Sue arrow sped past her, and she leapt to the side as it whistled by.

At the SueRidder headquarters…

Hyule stepped into a dark room, with a computer on a desk in the back of it. Several SueRidders were crowded around it, frowning. Hyule asked them, "Can I see the damage?" The crowd parted, nodding.

The computer let off shrieking noises, and red lights flashed from it. On the screen, it said,

Error

Cannot detect normal Sues.

Something is wrong.

Very wrong.

Do something about it, idiots!

Hyule grabbed the mouse, and clicked on green underlined letters, SueCam. The screen immediately turned fuzzy and red, then a message appeared:

Cannot retrieve video from camera.

Something is messing with it.

Please try again later.

Hyule sighed. "It can't detect Sue Spirits. They mess it up." The creatures around him nodded.

At the Abbey…

Redwin downed another Sue with an arrow. As it exploded into a liquid of solid crimson gold (infected with the sparklies, of course) she sighed. They couldn't hold off the oncoming tidal wave of Sues and Stus for much longer. She glanced at the forest, hoping…

Eight figures that definitely were not Sues emerged form the woods. Redwin yelled in relief as they fought off a gold squirrel Sue and defeated her. Redwin attached the grappling hook to the wall, and slid down the rope, fighting off the gales of Sues as she made her way to the others.

The eight were led by a broad shouldered squirrel she recognized as Lord Vrel, the famously good-looking SueRidder who fought with a pair of katanas. The seven others followed him, all valiantly trying to fight off a muscular fox that was obviously a warlord Stu. The Stu danced about, twirling his blade in a disgustingly perfect way.

The Stu's fur gleamed black as the stormy moonless night, and his deep, dark poisonously green eyes glittered with righteousness. He was surprisingly tall and broad, and he wore a rich red tunic and dark black boots. His tunic was embroidered with threads of pure gold, and on his head sat a thin gold crown studded with diamonds and who knows what other gems, so flawlessly perfect that they practically glowed.

Redwin saw Griffle battling a ferret Sue, and she shouted, "They're here! The ones Branche sent for!"

Griffle smiled in relief, before returning to the Sue he was attacking.

The SueRidders spread out a bit before starting the battle. Lord Vrel blocked the Stu's blade with his katanas, and watched for the fox's next move. The stu spun his giant gold jewel encrusted sword in a disgustingly perfect fashion, and as the blade swung down to slash the squirrel, Vrel lashed out with a garlic coated katana, and the Stu fell, exploding into silver goop.

Vrel wiped the silvery goo off his weapon on the grass, and sought out another sue to destroy.

Redwin grasped her rapier, watching the Sue mousemaid as she circled around her. The strikingly beautiful Sue was saying, "You know your case is hopeless. You see our warriors battling on, unwearied and flawless as ever. You cannot hope to best us."

Redwin snarled. "Oh yeah? Looks like we've been doing a good job of it so far." She gestured at the remains of the Stu that Lord Vrel had destroyed.

Instead of growling in displeasure, the white mouse smiled, revealing lines of perfect teeth, shining like pearls in a sunset.

"Look behind you."

Redwin decided not to do so, feeling it was a trap, until Griffle shouted.

"NOOOO! ACROVE! OH NOOO!"

Redwin leapt out of range of the Sue blade, and looked over the heads of the sues, to see…

Acrove.

Was.

A.

Stu.
