Chapter 11

" Be careful he is powerful and very dangerous, what does he mean?" He held out the wanted poster. I got lucky that's all. Though not even he could deny, when he got excited he knew things he didn't know before. "Maybe I'm only my real self when I'm fighting." Trilby wasn't sure. He still had a problem. Where to lay low? He had no doubt that when they find Slushy they can piece together what happened. He felt bad for Slushy. He was friendly when he wasn't fighting. Maybe… They would be friends one day. But what was very odd was that throughout the fight, Trilby had grown resistant to his cold. Not adrenaline, 'don't feel it' kind but resistant as if the cold did not affect him anymore. He found something else had changed too. The smooth ovals, that were once grey now bore a blue tinge. Odd he thought. Today he needed to find a safe spot he decided. Suddenly, a purple goo flew out of the trees. Taken by surprise it impacted him head on. He flew back hitting a tree, the purple goo splattered over him and the tree. A half eaten packet of crisps, followed by the wanted note, followed by Jumba's computer landed on the floor.

"Gotcha'," said a voice. Out of the bushes came a huge grey amphibian.

"Woah, hey, what's your problem," Trilby tried to stand but the goo trapped him.

"Well done 629." He holstered the weapon bending down to pick up the computer. "Though technically, you are not made by Jumba, so you would be Dr Hamsterviel's experiment 001,"

"Hamsterviel!" The name triggered something. Something painful. He remembered intense physical and mental pain.

"You did end up being useful to us after all."

"Who are yo… Gantu," he said, the name came back, with pictures. Being forced round courses.

"I thought that would trigger memory recall. We spent a lot of time and effort on you 629. To think we came out with a useless experiment. But you came through in the end."

"Useless? I have no power?" All his fears confirmed in the one utterance.

"Yes, no strength you are useless to us. So we wiped your brain, fit you with a camera a sent you rolling at the trog and the little earth girl. We knew you'd look at Jumba's computer, we knew Jumba would investigate and set up that system, we knew they would try to catch you, we knew you would come here. We know- because we created you."

"What did I do? What are you going to do with that computer? Oh we have a plan to catch every experiment on this blasted island. All we needed was this computer." He held up the computer.

" How long have you watched me?" his ears drooped in depression.

"Oh, all the time. Except for the last hour, we had some… Bird watching to do, ha ha," He chuckled, he missed my fight with Slushy Trilby thought.

"Gantu! Stop gloating and bring me zat computer I vant every experiment by tomorrow you know!" Shouted a disembodied voice. Taking his communicator Gantu asked:

"What do I do about 629?"

"Leave him he's not even worth the plasma, you know he may be the only one more useless than you."

"Who are you what do you know about me?!" he shouted.

"You… Are a failure. I tried to make the ultimate experiment with more power than all the other experiments combined instead I got you. You have done your job now, I have no more use for you. Take zi camera Gantu I am tired of watching zis screen."

"Yes sir," Walking up to Trilby. He drew back his hand slapping the tree on the back. The momentum sent the tree into his head. He felt his eye water as something slid out. It looked like a contact lense.

"I found zat in Jumba's laboratory. Very useful."

Gantu reached down finding his hands were not delicate enough. He called,

"625! Come here," But then Gantu noticed the sheet of paper. He picked it up and read it.

"Hey Hamsterviel have a look at this!" HE held it up to the screen of the communictor. There was silence as he read the paper. Then sudden laughter.

"Dangerous! Ha zat is a good one haha,"

Then out of a bush popped a bronze experiment,

"Can't a guy get any sleep around here, Yeah, yeah… What do you want?"

"Pick up this camera, and be careful it's delicate."

"Cameras too difficult for you now eh Gantu? We've been here for hours, can we go back to the ship now? I haven't slept in like five hours and I'm out of sandwiches!"

"No! No sleep time for lazy experiment, you need to get up zat mountain as fast as you can. I can't vait for my plan to work!"

Gantu started walking in the direction of the mountain dominating the horizon.

"Hey Gantu, can't we take this sucker with us?"

"No, 629 stays here,"

"But finally I had a guy I could relate to. Hasn't got the same interests in sandwiches, But I can overlook that."

"We do need a cleaner. Ever since 625 tried out that tuna and cheese melt the ship has melt like the inside of a fish for days."

"Oh all right you can take him with you." Gantu poured a green liquid onto the goo, it dissolved in seconds releasing Trilby. As soon as Trilby was free he was grabbed roughly and dumped into a glass capsule.

"Hey! Easy big guy, I don't want your failure to rub off on me," clearly he had remembered Gantu's losing streek.

"Oh yeah… We are gonna get along just fine,"
