Chapter 3: New York 1885 part 2
At the rally, all the mice show up. around the crowd the group had just arrived just when Gussie Mausheimer the richest mouse in new York was beginning the meeting.
"Attention please," she spoke through the megaphone.
Beth along with the bean scouts found seats and sat down to listen.
"You all know we are here we have to do something about these cats," said Gussie
"Not so loud they'll hear" said one mouse
"So let them hear,"
"You can talk you're rich!" shouted another mouse
"Money is not everything. I know, because I have money and I have everything. But are they worth if we don't have freedom. Why did we come for America? For freedom Why are they building that statue? What does it stand for? Freedom. What we want?"
"FREEDOM!" Everyone shouted.
"Right freedom and because this is America we can do something about it"
"But they're bigger than us" said a mouse.
"Aren't they going too far since they're behind the night attacks on humans" said another.
"Yeah possible" agreed another mouse.
"Hold it!" Beth shouted out, "Some of the attacks and disappearances on the humans have nothing to do with the cats."
Everyone looks at Beth's group.
The red haired girl continues, "A few years ago, far off in another part of the etherium, an eccentric billionaire John Hammond, CEO of Ingen, created Jurassic Park: a theme park populated with dinosaurs cloned from the DNA extracted from insects preserved in prehistoric amber."
"It was doomed to failure because of a rival company but anyway they now roam Isla Sorna."
"The murderers are definitely dinosaurs, one of the worst!" Cried Raj
"They're called Troodon pectinodon. They're nocturnal and possess serrated teeth, they envenomate with single bite back and stalk their prey…" explained Lazlo pulling a chart and stick out of nowhere.
"They travel in packs and they're noticeable, by their glowing eyes,"
"Glowing eyes?" Inquired a mouse skeptically.
"Yeah like one of those monsters in movies" said Raj "And they make this creepy hissing, clicking like sound as if announcing we're here."
"Dinosaurs?" Another mouse said. " I'd say it was either LSD or some other drink."
The mice laughed at Lazlo and the others, who looked disappointed.
"Told ya, they wouldn't believe us" hissed Beth.
"Any way,back to the cat business" Gussie said continuing her speech, "What are you afraid of? Are we men, or are we mice?"
"Mice! Mice, indeed, and proud of it!" shouted Honest John
"So what are going to do about those cats?"
The crowd grew quiet; nobody had a suggestion or an idea. Only a small mouse steps forward and whispers an idea into Gussie's ear. She smiles and announces the mice have a plan.
"So what we do?" Lazlo asks Beth
"We look for Blik and his brothers and see what they found out." Replied Beth
Early the next morning, the mice go to work on their plan at the house of Dr. Digitalus' Museum of the Weird and Bizarre, located on a pier. They begin building a huge contraption out of the various skeletons and strange devices in the Museum.
Beth and her friends meanwhile try to locate the whereabouts of their feline friends.
"So you know where they are?" asked Beth.
"No, but Gordon said this would help us find them." Lazlo pulls out a paper which had some directions and hands it to Beth.
The scene dissolves to a single light entering an alley. The small group approaches a manhole.
"This looks like the right address." says Lazlo
"But what does it mean?" Raj asks.
"Hmm. I'm not sure. We could see which building is the hideout." Beth said
Clam grabs the lid off the manhole, revealing a staircase going down.
"Or we could just go down those stairs."
They make their way through the sewers to the source of some music, a drain marked "Mott Street Maulers."
Inside are a group of street tough cats playing cards among coincidently among them were the cat brothers.
"Hey, don't look now but it looks like we aren't the only ones sleuthing" Raj says
Beth, Clam and Lazlo look at what Raj was pointing at. To their disbelief the same young mouse that suggested the plan at the rally was sneaking about area.
But what was odd was that some rat was playing the violin in front of a mirrored glass.
The rat complains he can't play with the nose and proceeds to remove a false nose and ears to reveal he is really a midget cat.
"Did you see that?" asked Beth in shock.
"Yeah" the beans scouts said in unison
The little mouse who was behind the glass had noticed too. The midget cat known as Warren sees him and tries to grab him.
The little mouse gets away and Warren demands the cats capture him. An orange Persian cat named Tiger tries to catch him, but causes more trouble than assistance.
"Should we help him?" asked Lazlo
Beth sighs "Yeah lets,"
Quickly the girl and Bean scouts spring into action, there wasn't much they can do but try to get the young mouse out of the area. They jump onto the piano grabbing the young mouse as they start to run with the cats on they're tail.
Which leads to a chase through the hideout and sewers but the group is able to make it back, with the help of a skate, to the street.
The young mouse thanks them as he grabs his blue hat. Beth was about to talk serious to him about what was he doing in the sewers in the first place.
But as they step away from a manhole, a paw reaches out and pulls them back down. The manhole cover slams shut with evil laughter heard.
000000000000000000000000
Next thing the group knew they were prisoners inside a birdcage. The little mouse cries in despair. Lazlo tries to cheer him up while Beth comforts him.
"Hey it's going to be alright. Our friends will get us out" said Lazlo "That's them now,"
As they spoke their three cat friends were coming up accompanied by Tiger who playfully pretended to be tough.
"I thought you were supposed to be keeping a low profile when in stealth mode?" inquired Mr. Blik
"There was an abrupt change of plan," replied Beth
"Who's your friend here?" asked Mr. Blik
"I was thinking the same thing,"
"Aw, don't mind me, I'm in the same side as you" said Tiger.
"He already knows about our mission and he's willing to help" explained Gordon.
"What's wrong with him?" asked Waffle pointing to the crying mouse.
"Hey kid what you crying about? We already told you they are our friends." Beth stated.
The young mouse sniffled and answered, "I have to get out to find my family"
"You lost your family?" asked Tiger starting to feel sad himself.
"Uh huh"
"That's terrible, I lost my family too years ago, I mean, eight brothers, ten sisters, three fathers," he cries too
"Same here," Beth said "but also my friends well other human- girls, that's why our mission is important I have to find them and stop the badguys."
" Don't cry, you'll find them." Said the little mouse.
"You really think so?" asked Tiger
"When there's a will there's a way" Lazlo said
"Think positive," Clam added
"Gee you are all nice, My name is Tiger and I see you know Gordon, Waffle and Blik here as your friends. What are yours?"
"My name is Beth Pantheon," Beth said then introduced the jelly bean scouts. "These are Lazlo, Raj and Clam"
"Fievel Mousekowitz" replied the young mouse.
"Listen, I like mice," Tiger says as he nears the cage.
Fievel takes this the wrong way and cries again.
"Oh no, not like that I don't even eat red meat at all." Explained Tiger
"You mean you're a vegetarian?" Asked Raj
"That's right a little fish every now and then but what I would go for is a nice broccoli."
"Well now that we're getting to know one another," said Gordon sounding serious, "there's something serious, you guys need to know."
"Like what?" asked Beth.
"For one thing, we have a situation, most of the sewers aren't safe anymore."
"He's right, considering those things could be lurking around there," Tiger said sounding frightened
"Things? You mean the troodon? you saw them too?"
"Saw them? We also know where their nest is!" exclaimed Mr. Blik.
"You mean these troodon things are real?" asked Fievel curiously.
"Yep."
"Beth, there's something you should take a good look at." Said Gordon with a very grim expression. He looks to the Bean scout and gave an order, "Lazlo, Raj, Clam, you stay with Tiger and Fievel, what we're going to see is something unspeakable and not for kids."
"If you say so," Lazlo says shrugging.
If Gordon says it's not for them to see then it must be something really terrible that might traumatize them.
The cats open the cage for everyone to get out, Beth follows the three cat brothers as they lead in one direction through a sewer.
"Hey guys! Be careful! Beware the eyes!" warned Tiger.
"We will" they all said.
With that the quartet left, who knows what danger lies ahead for them when they investigate.
