Chapter 14 It Came from Beneath the Seaduck Part 4
"Miss Cunningham! What are you doing here?" Kit gulped looking scared.
"Wondering where my daughter disappears to," She answered having her hands on her hips.
"But it's not what you think. Let us explained," I protest but she shook her head ignoring me still glaring at Kit.
"You were supposed to look after Molly protecting her," She added picking her up holding her close away from us.
"I.. I did!" Kit retorted pulling his neck shirt a little and then Baloo yawned a little.
"Go easy Rebecca, let them explain." He ate some popcorn while Rebecca huffed putting Molly down.
"Explain my foot. He's just like you Baloo, reckless and irresponsible," She took the popcorn bowl and dumps on his head making all popcorn spills all over him and on the couch.
"Hey!" Baloo snapped brushing some popcorn off of him. Rebecca turned and glared at Kit once more.
"I thought I could depend on you Kit but I guess I was wrong." Kit fumbled and tries to explained what happened.
"But...but.."
"OUT!" She barked and I put my both hands on his shoulder.
"Rebecca please he's just a kid," I said standing up to him but she huffed and glance at me and spoke.
"And you, I thought I could trust you to help him be responsible but I guess I was wrong as well,"
"He's doing very well and he's learning in his age," I retorted but she shook her head.
"Then maybe he should learn a lot more before babysitting my daughter." She said and I frowned having enough of her stubborn.
"Rebecca if you let us explain what happ…"
"Kit will never learn about babysitting since he's being raised by air pirates..."
"REBECCA!" I almost shouted seeing Kit looking hurt and saw Baloo took a bowl out from his head got up little looking surprised of my tone. "He will learn his mistake if you give him another chance!" I protested trying to explain but she shook her head crossing her arms.
"I give him a chance but he blew it, like I trust you to helping but now I don't know if I can now. I want you out of Higher for Hire for good and never set foot on my business and never talk to one of us again!" She snapped. I didnt say a word and felt hurt from her cruel words as Baloo breathed.
"Becky, give her a…" I shook my head feeling my tears coming and glare at her.
"You know what, is that what your opinion is, FINE! I was trying to help Kit be an amazing babysitter and for your information, he's doing very well and I trust you and the rest that you can help me find a way to my dimension to my home but I guess I was stupid enough to believe that!" I storm off and jerk the door opened and looked back seeing Molly and Kit looking scared and look at Rebecca having one tear run down my face. "And if I get a chance I might find air pirates that can GIVE ME A LIFT FOR ALL I CARE!" I slammed the door hard behind and ran towards the elevator having my tears stream down my face as the elevator took me down. I rushed outside sobbing running along the sidewalk not caring where I'm going until I hit someone accidently making the owner ompf. I looked up and saw Bagheera looking considered wearing his original outfit seeing me crying. Without thinking I bury my face in his chest crying more feeling his arms wrapped around me.
"Goodness Ashley, what happened?" He asked. I sniffed and told him what happened today still crying as we walked on the sidewalk.
"And I thought I could trust them to help me find a way home," I sniffed finished my story as we sat on the bench to rest. He got out his peach handkerchief and handed it to me.
"It's not your fault Ashley. Rebecca is always stubborn about everything and overprotective of her daughter," He spoke softly. I blew my nose in his handkerchief and nodded.
"I don't blame her but she doesn't have to be you know..." I said trying to find a right word. He nodded.
"Yes I know what you mean," He hugs me as I heavy sighed wiping my tears with his handkerchief. "Everything is going to be alright, you'll see and you will go back to your home and speaking of which, I found someone that can help us solve your problem." I looked at him while I wipe my tears once more.
"You did?" He smiled.
"Yes, he's a friend of mine that is an inventor for Shere Khan Industries that can help us find you a way to get back to your dimension," He replied and then I heard something bombing making our head perk up and saw boats bombing the water with dynamite.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"A sea monster came in Cape Suzettes and the navies are trying to bomb it out of here," He answered and then we saw the sea monster heading to other direction not taking the direction the navy wanting it to go as I smiled.
"Well I guess the sea monster does not want to leave Cape Suzettes and I'm guessing it wants to climb up the waterfall," I giggled a little feeling better as Bagheera chuckled. I looked again at the sea monster and gasp in horrified making Bagheera turned and looked what I'm looking at.
"Oh my gosh it is climbing up the waterfall!" I cried completely forgot the giant octopus climbing up the apartment waterfall where Rebecca and Molly are living. Bagheera eyes went huge as we saw the giant octopus climbing up. The thoughts about them living there that I made a dash but Bagheera grab my arm.
"Ashley no! You can't go up there!" I made his let go of me.
"But I have to help them!" I said but he shook his head.
"I cannot see you to be put in danger anymore. We'll go to Baloo and have him help us," He suggested but I took off before Bagheera could grab me again.
"Okay then you can get Baloo while I get Rebecca and Molly out of their apartment!" I called running.
"ASHLEY COME BACK HERE!" He shouted but I didn't listen running fast as I can towards the apartment. I manage to get to the apartment and ran to the elevator and pushed the button desperately. The elevator came up to where I want to be and I bolted out of the door and rushed to Rebecca door.
"Rebecca opened this door! Your and Molly are in danger please open!" Suddenly I heard Molly screaming and I breathed and looked at the corner. "MOLLY KIT!" I screamed saw them hanging on the phone wire. I ran while I saw the giant octopus inside the kitchen with Rebecca and she was using a spatula to whack its tentacles.
"Ashley!" Kit cried seeing both of them happy to see me as I bend down grabbing the phone wire.
"Don't worry guys, I got you!" I pulled the wire with all my strength seeing Kit holding on the phone while holding on Molly as she held on the ice cream bucket with one arm. As I was pulling the wire and almost grabbed Kit shirt I didn't know a tentacle was wrapping around my wrist on the other hand as I scream felt being lifted. I turned seeing giant octopus giving us annoying look as if it trying to get something but we always get in its way. Kit quickly grab my hand letting go the phone while the octopus lifted us more seeing locking its eyes on the ice cream Molly is holding.
"I don't want to play anymore." Molly said looking terrified and I smiled a little to reassured her.
"Don't worry Molly, I got you and Kit. Just hang on, Baloo will be here soon," I answered hoping and heard Rebecca gasp.
"MOLLY YOU GET IN THIS INSTANT!" She shouted but I shook my head.
"Are you kidding me?! Rebecca you need to get out of the house now!" I corrected and swing myself making the octopus let go of me and grabbed the sewing pole. I was about to swing Kit and Molly to the deck but the pole broke due to three of us and I yelped while the pole bended out over the edge.
"Hold her Ashley!" I heard Rebecca cried desperately while I cling on the pole.
"Ashley do something!" Kit added I tried to use my body to swing once more trying to get my feet on the railing but it was no use. Where are you Baloo!? I thought and then the tentacles slither on the pole almost grabbing my hand. Being a stupid octopus it jerk a little making me let go the pole having all of us fall screaming. I quickly grab Kit and Molly wrapping them tightly hugging them feeling my hair going up and prayed for help. Then we heard the plane sound and I opened my eyes quickly seeing the Seaduck coming underneath us and we fell inside and landed on the net with beach ball, boxing and bags. I breathed in relief and looked at the kids.
"Are you guys alright?" I asked seeing them both nodded.
"Yeah thanks, why did you come back? After what Rebecca said?" He asked. I smiled.
"Kit, even if Rebecca tells me to leave I will always be here. I don't want you two to get hurt or threaten be killed," I replied seeing him smiled and hugged me.
"Well thanks for coming back for us." He said and looked at Molly still shaken holding on her ice cream. "Hey kiddo some ride huh?" She glances at him.
"I'm ready for my nap now," She answered still feeling scared. I embraced her gently and spoke softly.
"Don't worry sweetie, your safe now." She cling on me as Kit and I got off the net. I walked up with Molly in my arms seeing Baloo and Bagheera sitting on the pilot seat.
"Great catch skipper!" Kit congrates. I nodded.
"Yeah right on time too thanks, " I added. Baloo smiled.
"Yeah but can you both tell me what in the blue blaze is going on?" He asked wanting to know.
"Later but right now we have to save Rebecca." Kit answered while Baloo made the Seaduck turned around towards the apartment.
"Hold on to your knee caps!" Baloo said and I saw the giant octopus tentacles hanging out looking like it's going to fall pretty soon in the window. Molly was almost asleep in my arms having her head on my shoulder still holding on the ice cream while Bagheera looked out the window.
"How in the world we can get that oversized sushi back out in the ocean without harming anyone?" He asked.
"I don't know Baggy but the real question is how that did slimy..." Before Baloo could finish the last sentence we felt the plane jerk hard making all of us fall forward and Molly woke up in startled.
"Um Baloo, when did you teach the Seaduck to hopper like this?" Kit asked curious while Baloo got up in his seat.
"Hopper? This plane can't hopper. Oh no." He looked out the window as I did gasping. "Oh baby, this is getting serious," We saw the giant octopus grabbing the Seaduck while it grabbed inside the apartment not wanting to leave. Baloo pull his lever up to make the Seaduck go faster seeing the pellet putting hard letting the gas out. Then the Seaduck manage to get the octopus let go of the apartment making me stumble a little landing on Bagheera lap while Molly got out of my arms and went by Kit.
"Alright Ashley?" Bagheera asked. I got up from him and answered.
"Yeah I'm okay, just tripped," Then all of us hear something clanging above us after I replied.
"I think you got a hitchhiker," Kit said and then we saw tentacles almost covering our looking.
"And practically joker about that." He added as the plane went through the city. Bagheera opened the window a little and put his arm out and use his claws to slice the tentacles trying to get it out of the way but it was no use as the giant octopus was stick on the Seaduck like a glue making Baloo having trouble seeing.
"Watch out for the building Baloo!" Kit warned as we passed through the city trying not to hit the building.
"I would if I can see them!" He answered trying to hold the Seaduck steady and then the Giant octopus grab the clock tower making the Seaduck spin around in circle.
"Cut that out you big de slouch!" Kit snapped and then the giant octopus lets go the clock tower tip making the Seaduck fly fast towards the cliff.
"I'm flying out in the ocean before our pal grabs another highrons." He jerk his wheel forward making it go faster and then the giant octopus head came down blocking our view making us gasp in fright seeing the octopus yellow eyes locking on Molly having ice cream in her arms. Wait a minute. I thought remembering something in this episode that we can get rid this giant octopus.
"Come on!' Kit grabs Molly and they dash inside the Seaduck making the giant octopus growled.
"Kit wait! "I shouted running and then suddenly the tentacles broke the window in front of Baloo and Bagheera trying to get us but Bagheera snarled like a cat and swipe it with his claws making the tentacles jerk out.
"Remind me Baloo never to order another squid or any octopus tentacles from now on," He huffed while Baloo nodded agreeing. I breathed seeing Kit and Molly huddle together by the porthole as he smiled seeing the tentacles jerk out.
"It's okay now Molly, it won't get you," But the tentacles broke through the porthole they are by at and snatch Molly feet. She screams as Kit grabs her pulling her away from it.
"Aghh! Kit! Kit!" She cried dropping her ice cream and then the giant octopus lets go of her making both of them stumble down and the giant octopus use its tentacles to find the ice cream bucket. I quickly grab the ice cream and use my feet to stomp it hard making the tentacles yank out of the porthole.
"It's the ice cream. The squid want the ice cream." Kit rushed to me and I nodded holding the ice cream.
"I think it can help us get rid of the giant octopus but we need to make sure it doesn't come back to the Cape Suzettes," I replied looking around trying to find something that can help and then Kit and I manage to find some jars filled with gunpowders and other stuff.
"You got to get rid of this squid kid!" We heard Baloo cried in the front and we passed through the cliff.
"You got it Baloo just keep her steady a little longer." I answered looking through the jars until I find a red spicy powder remembering Kit uses it getting rid of the giant octopus and turned to Kit and smiled. "Kit, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" I asked as he smiled back grabbing the red spicy powder.
"I'm sure am!" He answered as I sat the ice cream down and without Molly seeing Kit dump the red spicy powder.
"Aha red hot pepper, this will have lot more pep in frosty pep," He spoke as I grab the screw driver from near me and stir it blending the red hot pepper and the ice cream together until its well blended..
"This will teach it not to set its tentacles on Cape Suzettes ever again," I shut the lid and Bagheera came by us.
"What are you talking about?" He asked while Kit grabs the ice cream.
"You'll see." I answered and whistle the giant octopus getting it attention as it peek its eyes through the porthole and instruct Baloo to takes us farther out of the ocean away from Cape Suzettes.
"Hey sweet tooth, try this!" He showed the ice cream out as the giant octopus eyes lit up purring happily seeing the ice cream reaching its tentacles to get it. But Molly notices her ice cream almost going to be taken and rushed over.
"No it's my ice cream!" She grabs her ice cream trying to pull it to her.
"Molly wait!" I shouted about to grab her but the giant octopus took Molly with the ice cream out of the Seaduck making me gasp horrified and put my head out of the window.
"MOLLY!" I cried seeing the giant octopus shaking her making her let go her ice cream and he ate it looking satisfied licking its lips purring.
"Hold her steady Baloo. I'm going out." I heard Kit spoke as he got out the window getting on above the plane.
"Be careful Kit!" I called feeling worried watching him trying to grab one of its tentacles while Molly held one in desperate looking terrified.
"Kit!" Molly cried. Then the giant octopus whole body turned red as a tomato of the red pepper so hot making it fall let go the Seaduck spazzing out. It drops himself as Molly followed falling down to the ocean and my eyes went huge seeing Kit jump off the Seaduck charging down.
"MOLLY KIT!" I screamed almost opening the door but Bagheera grab my arms preventing me to jump and I breathed looking down seeing them falling. Then I saw Kit grabbing out his sky surf board while holding on Molly as they both surf gracefully towards the ocean. I sighed in relief as he lets go of me.
"Thank goodness." Baloo laughed softly.
"That kid knows how to surf in the wind." He made the Seaduck go down and landed in the ocean by them and I opened the door having the kids come in.
"Ashley, did you see me? I was surfing with Kit!" Molly squealed happily hugging me as I laugh embracing her.
"Yes I saw you, you were great but never do that again until your little older." I replied. Kit heavy sighed putting his sky surf board in his shirt and look out the window seeing the sun going down.
"We have to get you back home, you mom is probably worrying about you." Baloo chuckled and made the Seaduck go up and fly towards the Cape Suzettes.
"Don't worry little britches, we'll get there on time and tell Rebecca what you two did can make her change her opinions about you two," He answered but I heavy sighed looking down knowing she will accept Kit as babysitter but for me, after what she says I guess they don't need me anymore and want me to move out and find a hotel. I hugged Molly close feeling sad of going to miss the kids while the Seaduck took us to her apartment.
