Episode LXIII: Who Knew?
Recap: There is a new army of peanuts on the hunt! The Tacky Santa Peanuts! Hide your children! Hide your children!
Erm, anyway. So our heroes have five peanuts with bazookas (not really bazookas) but something along those lines of violence, and have apparently no hope of survival. Then the leader Santa dude pulls out a rocket launcher and releases the trigger. Yeah, that's nice.
Ohhhhhh what will happen to them? Who are the Santa Peanuts? How is Billie reacting to Sarah referring to Pyro? What will happen after the rocket launcher has been launched? Why is Heath so much of a Scaredy Cat? Does he like Steph? Why are there so many questions? The next episode is HERE!
So read it. Savvy?
Lifting up a rocket launcher, the Head Peanut said, "Ta-ta," before releasing the trigger.
BANG!Steph flinched at the sound. Then she realized that she wouldn't be able to flinch if she were dead, coming to the conclusion that she was indeed alive. That was strange.
Looking up, she saw that the Head Peanut was knocking the gun against his head, muttering to himself. The other nuts were all still pointing their weapons at our heroes, grinning maliciously, but not firing. That was also strange.
Squinting, Steph decided that their malicious grins were a little… fixed. In fact, they weren't moving at all. The only movement in the whole cavern was the Head Peanut still whacking the gun mercilessly against his own skull, and one of the burnt pieces of popcorn, lying on the ground, wheezing uncontrollably. It took her a few seconds to realize that this wheezing was in fact laughter.
Finally, it managed to sputter out a few words. "It was a… hahaha… practical joke… hehehe… it wasn't meant to be… hohoho… used. All your men are… hmhmhm… frozen, it'll take… hichichic about twenty minutes for them to –" It broke off into a painful-sounding coughing fit. Ten minutes later, the coughing tapered violently into silence, and they realized that it was, without a doubt, dead.
"I knew it," muttered Heath from behind them. "The downfall of evil is heralded by laughter."
But he was ignored as the Head Peanut looked at his mutant rocket launcher in shock, then up at the six heroes. Billie and Jack where both drawing pistols, releasing the triggers (Jack with his right hand, thankfully), while Sarah and Steph, having no weapons, settled into (what they hoped were) dangerous-looking fighting stances. Heath climbed nervously onto his Creamy Soda can trying desperately to look tough, but failing miserably. Pyro standing beside Sarah, snapped his fingers lazily, a formidable ball of fire appearing in his fist.
The Head Peanut looked back down at his gun, before dropping it, turning on his heel and fleeing down the tunnel behind it. It soon rounded a bend, disappearing from sight.
Sarah and Steph started laughing.
But they both halted suddenly when a deep, incredibly loud sound was emitted from behind them. It was unmistakably someone (or something) clearing its throat.
Slowly, they both turned around.
Standing behind them was a giant walnut. Cradled in its arms was a bazooka.
Oooh, MORE peanuts? Good grief.
Anyways, you know what to do. Review, and then stay tuned. It's the same old, same old.
