Chapter 9: Days Later
A few days went by as Dodger and the others are still getting worried about whoever destroyed Fred and Ted and wants the other dead. Shira told the others about the pirates and that they were not responsible for what happened to the twin vultures.
"So if it's not the pirates, who killed them then?" Manny asked as he and the herd was in the throne room with Dodger and Niamh.
"Well one thing is for sure my friends, Whoever killed my beloved friends will NOT get away with this...The murderer will be punished and I will make them wish they regretted what they done to Fred and Ted" Dodger angrily replied.
"Are you saying you want to kill them?" Diego asked.
"No Diego, My revenge doesn't involve killing the murderer...I shall exile them from this island and make them never return" Dodger replied.
"Spoken like a true king" Toby smiled.
"If only I never met this herd...Then none of this trouble would ever happened" Carrie sadly admitted.
"Don't say that sweetie, I'm glad you met us! Our family is stronger now because of you" Sid soothed.
"Dad is right about that mum" Rosy happily added
"Yes Mrs Carrie, I wouldn't have met your daughter if you never hook up with Sid" Jonathan warmly pointed out.
"I'm sorry...It's just I feel like evil is never going to stop hunting us down and bringing us more misery" Carrie sadly replied.
"Honey, That's the thing with good vs evil—it's an never ending war but no matter how strong evil is, good will always win" Milton said.
"He's right you know" Manny nodded.
"But at what cost? We already lost Fred and Ted and we lost so many people throughout the years...My family" Carrie sadly said.
"My brother and mother..." Toby added.
"Yoko, Shelly and Egbert..." Sid added too.
"All good mammals to the very end" Ellie added.
"And we all sadly miss" Elisa sadly replied.
"So I suggest we find out who this villain is and stop him or her before we lost anyone else or worse" Shira suggested.
"Shira's right, We lost so many people but won against every villain we fought against!" Peaches said.
"Then we must stay in this village to survive" said Louis.
"Pardon me but when has the village ever being safe?" Granny asked.
"Granny!" Carrie sternly said.
"No she does have a point...I mean...When has every place we have being in safe?" Manny asked.
"Look Manny, I know we've being through a lot of times where everything is going to be safe until the villains show up but like Milton said, We have won against a lot of villains like Carlotta, Leo and including Victor" said Ellie.
"But when will the madness end? Will this be the last time?" Crash asked.
"Yeah, it's no fun anymore! We can't even prank someone without hiding or play dead in case of bad guys coming" Eddie added.
"Well when we finish this villain, I really hope it's the last time" Niamh replied.
"And let's hope we do it fast because the villagers are getting a little angry about this" said Dodger.
"Why?" Aiu asked.
"Because they think you guys are the reason the village is no longer safe" Marcus Jr replied.
"We save their butts and this is how they repay us? Those ungrateful little sons of-!" Toby growled.
"Toby!" Elisa gently warned.
"Sorry" Toby nervously chuckled.
"Well if we're gonna do this, At least we should get help" Dodger added.
Suddenly they heard a familiar voice cheering
"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-HA!"
"Is that who I think is?!" Crash asked in excitement.
"It is!" Eddie cheered.
They all went outside to see the puppies playing chasing with Buck the weasel who has return from the Dinosaur World!
"YEEEEEEEEEE-HA! Catch if ya can puppies!" Buck cheered.
"Good old Buck" Diego replied.
"And just in time" Dodger nodded.
Buck then sees the others and goes to them
"Ello mates!" Buck greeted.
"It's good to see you back Buck" Elisa happily replied.
"It's so good to be back lass and I see your puppies are growing up" Buck chuckled.
"Yeah they are our buddles of joy" Toby proudly said.
Soon Maria and the male pups went up to Buck as the female asked
"What happened to your eye Mr Buck?"
"Ah now that's an interesting story that you'll find amusing" Buck replied.
"Ooooooh!" The puppies oohed in excitement as Buck added
"Gather round puppies and let your Uncle Buck tell you one of his greatest tales he's ever lived...It all start when I was in the Dinosaur World after falling down that big ice hole above me one day, And soon I landed on the beast that I've clashed with time and time again...His name is...Rudy" Buck deviously replied as the puppies huddle together
Buck then continues the story
"There I was, my back against the wall, no way out, perched on the razor's edge of oblivion, staring into the eye of the Great White Beast...He then raises his claw and slashes me as I was flying in the air in great pain, I landed on the ground and tried to open my eye when I realised that he destroyed it and I was one eye blinded"
The puppies gasped as Maria said
"That's scary and horrible"
"Aye...I heard his huge and spine chilling roar as he was gaining on me as I ran as fast as I can, All I could hear was nothing but the pounding thumps of Rudy getting closer. Soon I climbed up a huge tree and once up there, I grabbed a stick and kept an eye out for that beast but I couldn't see him in the mist" said Buck.
"Then what happened?" Damien asked.
"Well I felt something behind me as I looked back and saw Rudy lunging his jaws at me, I froze in horror and screamed as he shuts his jaws with me in it" Buck continued.
"Were you killed?" Vince asked.
"Sadly, yes. But I lived!" Buck replied.
The puppies cheered as the other giggled.
"Never had I felt so alive when I was so close to death! Just before Rudy could suck me down his gullet, I grabbed hold of the gross, pink, fleshy thing that dangles at the back of the throat!" Buck continued.
"Eww!" Both Louis, Aiu and Granny reacted.
"I hung on to that sucker, and I swung back and forth, back and forth, and back..."
The puppies gasped as Buck continued
"...and forth and back and forth, 'til finally I shot right out of his mouth! I may have lost an eye that day, but I got this!" Buck replied as he holds up his knife proudly.
"Wow!" The puppies happily said as they wag their tails.
"And that's one of the great stories of Buck the Dino Hunter" Buck concluded.
"Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!" The puppies cheered.
"Alright kids, time for lunch" Elisa warmly said to the pups.
"Yes mum" The puppies replied and went with their mother.
Toby and the others head up to Buck as the grey wolf said
"Buck, we're so glad you came back"
"Why's that lad?" Buck asked.
"We need your help" said Sid.
It seems the herd is having trouble on who's behind this
The village is losing their trust with the herd except for Dodger and Niamh
Buck has finally returned and has told his story to the puppies!
Now he will help out the herd once more
