Chapter 4 How the Weasel began

They were walking down to the exit until they realized that Banyan Foxtail was correct. It was a ship!

"R-u-n-n-o-f-t! Or the destroyer willows, which are right behind us, are going to attack you!"

"Run? Are you insane? I am 72 years old. How do you expect me to run?"

"You either run or die, President. I can fend them off, but you have to do the running. Go to the exit stairs and stay there."

The President ran to the stairs. He ran so quickly he looked as if he was 15 years old, not 72. This was very interesting and arose another problem. How could he run so quickly?

"Oh Master. Why do you have to get injured every time we go on a mission? You do realize that fighting off willows and carrying you at the same time isn't exactly the easiest thing to do."

"Banyan Foxtail! Just use the Fork! You are a Gorilla, remember?" Banyan had really forgotten he was a Gorilla. He had been training for the past 18 years. How could he forget? Well… It's Banyan Foxtail. So, he used the Fork and they were off.

This is how the Weasel Side began:

Many years ago, a former Gorilla rebelled against the order and said good-bye to the Gorilla. This animal is the creature that created the Fallen 20.

The only problem with the order of the Weasel is that they all wanted more power. In their search for more power, they ended up defeating each other. They ended up shattering the Weasel order. But many decades later, a creature uncovered the secrets of the order. He then recreated the Weasel. He then said that to prevent this from ever happening again, there could only be able to be two Weasels at a time. That way, they could not defeat each other again.

Not all of the Weasels were part of the Fallen 20. Some were just forced or born into the Spoon side of the Fork.

The Weasel have one main enemy. Gorillas. They want to defeat the Gorilla to "make peace". They all live in treachery, shame, aggression, hate, suffering, and anger.

The way that the Allies received the Larches were for the Weasel. Spruce Count, after he left the order, was still a friend with Bonsai Sage, and he told him to tell the Mishigans that they wanted as many Larches as they could make. After that, Spruce Count killed Bonsai Sage. He was working on Treachery.

Treachery is the way of the Weasel.

They were running until they realized that the ship was falling apart.

Just then, they ran into a trap. Also, just at the perfect timing, Tamarack woke up.

"What did I miss? Why are we in a trap? Banyan Foxtail, what did YOU do?"

"Why am I being blamed?"

"OH SURE. It was the President's fault."

"Anyway, to answer your first question, you missed…

The rescue of the President

President Ponderosa running

Destroyer willow battle

ME killing Spruce Count"

"So… that's it? Ok. Then why are we in a trap?"

"For no good reason."

"Well then. Now to get out of this trap…"

Just as he said that, Lance Corporal Redwood came in with a whooping cough.

{Cough Cough. Cough.} "Well, well, well. What do we have here? Gorilla Master Tamarack Subalpine and Gorilla Knight Banyan. Oh, we also have President Ponderosa here. I guess you were trying to 'rescue' him. Well… that wasn't much of a rescue. Huh… Banyan, I expected that you would be… older, because of your reputation."

"I thought you were taller."

"Banyan, please don't annoy him. We are trying to rescue the President here. Focus on the mission."

"Yes Master."

The plan was working. Banyan's "plan" actually came through. The plan was to act as if there was no hope left and then EWP would give them their Plasmaglowsticks. So far so good.

The plan followed through. EWP gave them a Plasmaglowstick and they were on to fighting. Lance Corporal Redwood escaped and broke the glass on the ship's windshield. Emergency shields went up and Banyan had to land this thing.

"Do you think you can land this?"

"I don't know. This ship isn't exactly meant for landing. But I'll try."

They were flying, until the back half of the ship fell off. They kept going and then fire ships came in and cooled them down. They eventually got to New York unharmed. Now they were there, but now they had to land.

Banyan landed as carefully as he possibly could. He was able to keep the passengers safe, but that was not to say about the ship. It was horrible.

"Well, another happy and SMOOTH landing."

"Oh and you could have done better?"

"No, I was just being sarcastic."

They got out and went on the bus. They arrived at the AHOR building. Some of the NAGAC and the politicians from AHOR met them. The only problem was, Tamarack wasn't getting off.

"Are you coming?"

"No. I am not brave enough for politicians. Besides, I have to alert the Council."

"Shouldn't I be there too?"

"This isn't about the mission. It's about something else. Anyway, someone has to be the poster kit."

"Poster FOX."

"True, true. Go get your pack, poster FOX."

"Hey! This whole operation was your idea."

"Yes. But let us not forget what you did today. You killed Spruce Count single pawed, rescued the President, fought off destroyer willows, and made a landing not to be forgotten. Let me not forget carrying some unconscious Master on your back."

"All because of your training."

"That is just an excuse."

"Fine. But you owe me one. Not just for saving your fur for the tenth time."

"NINTH TIME. The mission in Colorado… That doesn't count. That was your fault anyway."

"Fine. See you later."

He was then pulled with Representative Palm. He talked with him for a while and found Sequoia. He then asked to be excused. He had to talk with her. He had to explain what had happened over the last 3 months. It had been too long. Anyway, there was something suspicious about her. Banyan could feel it in the Fork. What was it though?
