Chapter 3: Floor 1 and 2
Bucky used the pretend handcuffs, and took Emily to the front entrance. The guard stopped them.
Guard 1: And what business are you on today, friend?
Bucky: Found someone sneaking around the tower, sir.
Guard 1: You know the drill. Show me that you aren't one of those sneaky fake guards…
Bucky pulled out the ID thing Nine gave him that showed he was legit.
Guard 1: Good to know you're one of ours. God, I hate those sneaky fake guards…Glad we killed them. I mean who impersonates a guard? That's just wrong.
Bucky: Absolutely! (To Emily) Come on, rebel scum!
Bucky tried to make it look real, by roughly pulling Emily along. When they got into the tower, they saw many guards mingling with others. They were obviously on break or it wasn't their shift yet.
Bucky: (Quietly, to Emily) God, there's a lot of guards here…
Emily: Don't panic. They can probably smell fear.
Bucky: They're guards, not werewolves.
The guards did not limit in species. A couple of possums, a couple of raccoons. Some rats. Even some porcupines.
Porcupine Guard: Wait wait…Who's that guy with the girl?
Bucky: New guy!
Porcupine Guard: Hmm…We've had a couple who claim to be a new guy too, and they ended up being phoneys…Boys, should we do "The test?"
Bucky: T-The Test?
Possum Guard: Oh yeah! The Test…Question #1: Who's the biggest authority over anyone and everyone?
Bucky thought this might be a trick question. On one hand it could be the chief of the guards they haven't even met yet, or it could be the obvious (almost TOO obvious) idea of it being the Rat King.
Possum Guard: 5 seconds…NEW GUY.
Emily: (Quietly) Just answer the question, Bucky…
Bucky then got a lightbulb. He remembered back to his 5th favorite movie of all time, Infiltration, a story of a young rebel like himself infiltrating his dystopian leader's tower to take him down. A similar scene happened where a similar question was asked to the young rebel going through the guard's barracks trying to find a key pass to the tower. The dystopian leader…is the all powerful.
Infiltration, as of what I know, is not a real movie, I made it up for this segment.
Bucky: Obviously, the Rat King.
The guards looked impressed.
Rat Guard: Usually we get them with the first question.
Possum Guard: Alright, wise guy. Question #2! Why does the rat king do what he does?
Easy, "why does the dystopian leader do what he does?"
Bucky: Nobody knows, don't question it.
Possum Guard: Woah! Alright. Alright. One more question…Who was the Rat King's first victim?
Bucky's face softened a bit from the cocky look he had before…He was reminded why he was doing all of this.
Bucky: As of…what I've been told…His name was Lou…
Porcupine Guard: He even knows that! Ok! He's legit!
Rat Guard: May I ask, who's the girl with you?
Bucky: Prisoner. Just taking her to the rat king.
Raccoon Guard: No need for that. Just take her to the holding cells.
NOW there's a problem. If they saw Bucky taking Emily to the second floor, it could create suspicion…He thought quickly though.
Bucky: Actually, funny story. The rat king needs to see this one right away!
Raccoon Guard: Oh?
Possum Guard: Why's that?
Bucky: I caught her in the middle of planning a rebellion!
Porcupine Guard: Busting a rebellion on his first day…Impressive!
Possum Guard: Ditto! Alright. Alright. If you insist the rat king needs to see this rebellious scum, go right on up! It's a bit of a climb though. 5 floors sounds short, but it's SO long…
Raccoon Guard: You complainin', Robbie?
Possum Guard: Nono! I'm good.
Bucky: Good to know…Come on, Rebel! The rat king would LOVE to see you.
And just like that, they were on to floor 2.
Nine: (Over Walkie-Talkie) WHAT?! I know I didn't just hear that! You just lied to suspicious guards by using dystopian classic "Infilatration!"
Bucky: JEEZ! I forgot that he could hear us…You've seen Infiltration, Nine?
Nine: Oh yeah, man. It's a classic.
Emily: Can we focus? We've still got a rat king to take down, ya know…
Bucky: Yeah, yeah.
Nine: Sorry about that. You're on to floor 2. The "Event" floor as I hear, correct?
Once arriving in the room, they see a "formal" party go on.
Bucky: You are correct…We'll talk to ya when we get to floor 3, bud.
Bucky took Emily, still acting like he was a guard.
Emily: Ya know, for being an insane rat…he's definitely smarter than he looks…Look at that, that food looks delicious.
Guest 1: Guard! Could you please take my order?
Bucky thought about it, but he realized not doing so would definitely be suspicious, if these guys are such close friends of the rat king.
Bucky: Right away! Come on, rebel!
Bucky and Emily walked over to the table.
Bucky: How can I serve you guys?
Guest 1: Actually, the others have already eaten…It's just me. And my brother.
The raccoon guest motioned towards the younger raccoon.
Guest 1: We knew the rat king before power, right, bud?
Guest's Brother: You betcha!
Bucky: Good to hear. Now. How can I help you?
Guest 1: I think we're both gonna try this salad…
The guest showed Bucky where he was pointing on the, admittedly, greatly detailed menu.
Bucky: Right away! Come on, Rebel! Don't want you running off!
Guest 2: Actually, just leave her here…We'll keep an eye on her.
Bucky: …Uh, Ok. Cool. I'll be back for her later.
Bucky then went to the kitchen. The guest who spoke before, who was a skunk, sneered at her.
Skunk Guest: Rebel, huh? You tried to overthrow our friend?
Emily: W-Well, yeah! Don't you think maybe what's he doing is wrong? Killing innocent animals for no reason?!
Raccoon Guest: Grey, don't rattle the rebel here…You make me sick, no matter what, though. He's trying to restore this forest to it's greatest, and all of these rebels wanna overthrow him. I never understood it…
Bucky was getting ready to serve the salads, but was stopped by one of the rat king's "Friends"
Rat: Hey. I know what you're REALLY up to…
Bucky widened his eyes, and started to breath weirdly.
Rat: Don't worry. I'm on your side…Can't say the same for everyone else, but when push comes to shove, I'll help you in a bind. Cause I'm tired of this guy too…
Bucky: G-Good to know…
Rat: Henry…I'm the Rat King's brother.
Bucky: Even his own blood wants him gone?
Henry: Trust me, it's not right what he does…
Bucky: Glad we're on the same page.
Skunk Guest: Don't you roll your eyes at me, scum!
Bucky widened his eyes.
Bucky: Uh oh! Emily!
Bucky ran as fast as he could back to the table, where a skunk was about to throw a baked potato at Emily.
Bucky: Woah! Woah! Wait! Before you go throwing things, I should mention, the Rat King wants her without a single scratch! Come on, think about it. The rat king will do FAR worse to this rebellious scum than you could throwing a full-on potato at her! Think about that!
Skunk Guest: …You're right…Rather she face the music from the prestigious rat king than me…You go on ahead, guard…And lemme know what happens to this…this…garbage…
Bucky: Oh I will…
Bucky then took Emily along with him. Without any problem, they had made it to level 3…This was seeming too easy…
Hope you guys enjoyed these two new chapters. Definitely need to thank starwars4life for some pointers on how Chapter 3 should go.
Thanks for reading! Hope you guys are excited for the rest of the story!
