Sixclaw
Chapter 9
SIXCLAW
The enemy soldiers had overrun the Skullians. So far, the only loss was Cutup, who had died taking on a full squad of enemy troops.
Shouting his last warcry, he went down bravely. This emboldened the Queen's soldiers and they surrounded the guerilla squad.
Forced to stop short, the Skullians were threatened by soldiers with drawn weapons. They growled fiercely at the opposing warriors and brandishing their weapons.
"READY" yelled the apparent commander, a fox with golden fur and a big crossbow.
"Steady…"
"AIM!"
"Steady..."
"FIRE!"
"NOW!" yelled One-Eye
The Skullians dropped to the ground, causing the enemy's bullets to kill their own troops. With the entrapping circle of enemy soldiers soldiers gone, Sixclaw and the rest were free to run.
"Why are we running?" asked Sixclaw
"Cause if we leave, we get out of range of the explosive!" answered Red with a wink "Oh yeah, an explosive!" "We aren't gonna win this war without brains!"
Sixclaw shook her head in amazement. "You really managed to fight one hundred enemy soldiers, and still plant a bomb without getting yourself killed?"
"Yep."
The Skullians raced towards home.
DEYNA & COMPANY
After Deyna managed to get Nimbalo to stop trying to kill Blackpaw, the young rat had eaten his fill of their food and carried off what he did not eat.
"Great, we managed to get into a brawl, lose all our food, and get lost in a desert!" yelled Deyna. "What's next?" "Getting attacked by savages?"
"Uhhhh, guys?"
"What is it Blackpaw?" asked Nimbalo
"I think Deyna was right." The young weasel pointed to a nearby hill, which was crowded by savage-looking rats.
Drawing the sword of Martin, Deyna took up a fighting stance "Okay, let's give them a few wounds to think about in three... two…" The otter then realized that his two companions had run away at the first sight of the horde. He cursed and ran after his friends, with the rat horde close behind.
THE QUEEN'S PALACE
"What happened at the forest base disappointed me greatly…"
"I apologize for your majesty, I will make sure it will never happen again."
"No, it won't happen again, because you are going to have fifty beasts under the command of Captain Fenrir kill One-Eye."
"But your majesty…"
"Silence, you fool! Because of your mistake, One-Eye is still at large! Now go assemble the squad before I have your head brought to me on a platter!"
"Yes, your majesty…"
