Chapter 3 - The End
Around the same time a certain Joseph Hawkins gave a short speech to his little Tedi-hunting group, Conker stepped into a prison cell, where the Tediz General Rodent had captured were staying.
Three Tediz were sitting on the single bed; each one of them stared into Conker's eyes as he entered. Conker looked back too, and noted that the Tediz still had the same empty, soul-less, beady, black eyes. But he also noticed that they didn't have any scars on their bodies either, and their faces weren't the usual "I'm gonna kill you" look.
Conker - Alright guys, I thought we settled our war already, what are you still doing here? And who created you? Really, I don't want to have to go to war again, it was bad enough the first time.
Tedi 1 - Well sir, we don't know. We can't remember anything; all we know is that when we woke up, we were thrown in here for no reason!
Tedi 2 - Please let us out! Those squirrels, they hurt us!
The second Tedi pointed to two guards who were standing by the cell. Conker gave them a look of disapproval, but guards don't look like they regret doing what they did. He turned back to the Tediz. Tediz whining and begging for mercy? That's a new one, he thought.
Conker - You guys don't remember what your race did to ours about 10 years ago?
Tedi 3 - We can't even remember what happened before we got here, how do oyu expect us to know anything thatfar back?
Time for the test. Conker took out a pistol, and tossed it to one of the Tediz.
Tedi 3 - What's this for?
Conker - What do you want do with that?
Tedi 3 - I don't know, what do you want me to do?
The Tedi never even picked up the gun, it just sat there on his lap. After 10 seconds of staring, Conker took the gun back, and aimed at one of the Tediz.
Tedi 1 - What are you doing?! We didn't do anything!
The King pulled the trigger, and the weapon let out nothing but a "click". It wasn't loaded.
Conker - Relax, just putting you fellas through a test. Well, I'll see you guys later.
Conker walked out, leaving the Tediz in their own confusion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ronnie Edwards tapped Joe on the shoulder.
Ronnie - Hey Hawkins, are you sure we're going the right way?
Joe - Well, they said that the Tediz were somewhere around here... Let's split up into 2 groups, to cover more ground.
How typical, eh?
Ronnie - Why not just go with a partner, we can get this over with faster!
Joe - Do you know what Tediz are? They'll take us all out if we go into groups of those numbers!
Let's take a birdseye view, shall we? Things seem more creepy that way.
Looking around, we know the group has made it deep into a thick forest, or something close to it. The season being Autumn, the trees surrounding us have been stripped of their leaves, leaving that eerie feeling. The trees themselves seem to be pitch black; and yes, this is very strange since it's only the afternoon, and they only give a hint of Earth when they shine their flashlights on them, revealing some brown texture.
Above us, the sky is a rather dark grey, the type you see when you wake up extra early in the morning to see the sun rise. But even when it's this early, the squirrels can't really shake off the feeling that it's deep at night.
No crickets chirping, no wolves howling, and certainly no birds; guess this isn't exactly the classic scary forest now is it? Just a gentle wind blowing now and then. Ahead of the group, we see a wide path that goes on for who knows how long. Only one path though, and if they really want to cover more ground, one group will go down that path, the other will have to go into the black, black trees.
Joe - So one group will go down tht path, the other will be beside us looking in the forest.
As the flock of squirrels headed forward, they failed to see, and hear, the movements of dark figures behind them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conker walked into his bedroom. He layed on his back, and closed his eyes.
Dammit, he thought, why are the Tediz back? They were such a fucking pain in the ass the first time around, now what do they want?
But wait, they seem a bit peaceful this time around; didn't even try to shoot Conker when they had the chance.
No, it wouldn't work if he just set them free... The Tediz might have forgotten the war and the unspeakable things they did to the squirrels, but the squirrels sure as hell didn't, and probably never will. They obviously would object if the King let a bunch of potential serial killers out into the world, especially with the recent murders.
The three Tediz he met didn't seem like killers. He knew Tediz, and they would've torn him apart at the first sight of him, but they probably didn't know it was Conker who almost destroyed their entire race.
So something must've happened to their brains, making them less violent...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Still above the squirrels, we follow one group as they walk into forest, and off the path, in which the other group will investigate. The first sign of life other than themselves screeches into the air. A hawk flies above the squirrels, in a circle, almost behaving like a vulture ready to peck at the body it found lying in the desert.
Ronnie - Shit man, this is freaking me out...
Ed - Don't worry; look at us, we can take those bastards down.
Ronnie gripped his shotgun tigher, and rose it a little.
He suddenly turned around, at the noise of rustling leaves.
Ed - What is it?
Somewhere, all of a sudden, a squirrel let out a scream. Then all was silent.
At first no one moved, and Ronnie looked around, with sweat now running down his forehead. A couple of shot were fired to his left, then more squirrels were opening fire behind him.
Ronnie looked around and saw nothing, but darkness.
How are these trees so fucking dark? He thought. Then he turned around. In front of him, something stood there. Ronnie had to make it out a little, then saw the evil grin on it's face.
Ronnie (quietly)- This is it.
He quickly lifted his shotgun at the figure, and fired a double blast. After a while, he opened his eyes, and saw nothing there.
A chill ran down his back, as he felt the breathing behind his neck. A slow, raspy voice whispered into his ears.
"It's your turn"
Suddenly, Ronnie found himself on the ground. Sharp, but thick, stings filled his back, and he let out a cry of pain. No one was going to help him though, and he closed his eyes, listening to sounds of rifles still shooting.
Ronnie - I'm coming Jess, I'm coming...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conker was now half dazing, still lying on his king-sized bed. He needed a nap, but his mind wouldn't let him. The Tediz were still tugging at his thoughts.
What to do? It would be wrong, even if they were Tediz, to kill them if they did nothing. But how does he know they did nothing? For all he knows, they could've been responisble for the murder.
For a moment, he just wanted to kill those Tediz right there on the spot, just so he could get it over with. There must be more Tediz though, and he wouldn't have any idea where and how many there are if he didn't pump information out of the ones he has already. These were decisions that he hated to make, the downfalls to being a king.
Conker (sleepy) - I never wanted to be King anyways...
So he made up his mind to interrogate the Tediz even if they knew nothing, right after his nap. He closed his eyes at the same time Ronnie did, but of course, under better circumstances.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joseph Hawkins watched as friend, Ronnie, walked into the woods.
Joe - Becareful...
He led his group down the rotting path. The dirt was thick, and didn't leave any footprints. A twig snapped.
Wilfred - What was that?
Joe - Calm down...
Joseph slowly walked towards where the sound came from, ironically acting like his son, David.
Joe - Ronnie, is that you?
No response.
Joe - Let's move on, probably just a bird or something.
As he turned around, another branch cracked. He looked back.
Joe - Who is it?
The bushes were black, like the trees, and he couldn't see anything. A stubborn squirrel, named John, walked up beside Joe.
John - Come out, or else I'll shoot!
Joe - Wait, it might be--
John - We can't take chances, it's a Tedi!
Joe - It might be a squirrel!
John - Then how come they won't come out?
John turned his attention to the bushes again.
John - I'm counting to three! One... Two... Thre--
A paw suddenly reached out and grabbed John's own paws, and pulled him in. Joe stepped back in shock and disbelief. There was a little struggling noise, then no movement at all.
In the woods, he could heaing squirrels firing their pistols. Then a shotgun belonging to Mr. Ronnie Edwards went off.
This group stepped closer to each other, some trembling.
Joe - BASTARDS!
He held out his magnum and fired 6 rounds into the bushes. Screams rang out from squirrels behind him. Then something hard hit the back of his head, and he went straight to the ground. He heard Wilfred scream out his name, then Wilfred's own screaming. He reached for his magnum slowly; but a brown fingerless paw picked it up first.
Joseph - I'm sorry Lily... forgive me.
*BANG*

A/N: Ok. I honestly don't know what you guys think. Is it too long? I'll shorten it if need be...
