Chapter 5
When the searats realized that they had no ships, as they had been stolen by the DRAS, they went berserk. They continued packing all of the food they could, still in an attempt to escape the wild Saucony. They packed and ran. They ran all the way to the other side of the island, about only 12 feet away from the DRAS caves. There they set up a crude camp, hardly any cover, practically just sitting on the shore. They were in for a lot of trouble later that night, for while the DRAS was safe and merry, a huge thunderstorm was moving in. At night, while it was pitch black, the sea-rats had now started a fire. It was a grim blaze, hardly a flame. A passing sea rat accidentally spilled a jug of seaweed grog on the fire, which transformed it to a huge blaze. They started whooping, of course, alerting the DRAS in the caves next door. They sealed up the entrances and became quiet. They continued hearing the whooping and shouting until the silence was broken by a loud boom that shook the entire cave. Once they dared to look outside, they found every rat dead as a huge lightning bolt had hit the shore, attracted by the rats weapons. Just then, they heard the voice of a rat running back yelling, "I found the ships! Just a little a way!" Immediately as he saw the scene, he ran away screaming, but to be stopped by a sharp jagged rock that was sticking out in the dark. That was when the DRAS decided to form a plan immediately. The plan was that at midnight, that night, they would start trying to ram down the door, as a distraction. While in the back, the others would be sawing down a dead tree, to be pushed over on the back wall, destroying it. Then they would attack with full force, and hopefully take over the castle. They had planned to that the rats would try to escape, so they would bring in the worst 2 of the 5 ships, put a hole in the front, that way, when the rats used the ships to escape, they would get out way far, then gradually sink. As they were just finishing the plan, they realized that Treeleaf was missing. They looked everywhere, but couldn't find her. A little after they started searching, they were startled by a loud crash at their front door. Almost immediately they saw Treeleaf leading in a badger. Their first instinct was to arm themselves, but then Treeleaf spoke. "WAIT! He is a friend of mine! He was one of our neighbors that went overboard. When I saw that scene outside, I saw some thing out of place. It was him! He survived the waters, and came here!" And she was right; the badger would have been out of place, as he was pure white with a huge golden stripe running from his nose, all the way down his back. He was wearing a green vest and holding a huge double-edged blade with barbs pointing to the tip.
