late.)
Ch 5. Mystery Unraveled!!
"I got it!" Maxwell shouted with excitement. "I know exactly what happened to Hamtaro."
"What Maxwell?" Boss inquired.
"Follow me."
Maxwell and Boss hurried out of the clubhouse, and headed towards Hamtaro's house. As they ran along they met up with Pashmina and Penelope, who had been running back to the clubhouse to report what they have found.
"Hey Pashmina. What's the hurry?" asked Boss
"Boss, we found Laura."
"Really? Where?"
"She just got back to her house. We don't know where from."
"All right. You go find the other Ham-Hams and tell them to meet us at Hamtaro's house. We're going on ahead. Hopefully, when we get there we can finally solve this mystery."
"Right Boss."
So Pashmina ran around the city finding the rest of the ham-hams, while Boss and Maxwell went ahead to Hamtaro's house. Soon after they got there, the rest of the hamsters showed up.
"What's this all about Boss?" Panda queried.
"Maxwell thinks he has this whole thing figured out. Right Maxwell."
"We'll find out in a few minutes." replied Maxwell.
Soon there was a rustling in the bushes. What they saw next frightened all of the small Hamsters. In the bushes, was a pair of red glowing eyes, which were similar to the ones Oxnard saw the night Hamtaro was attacked. In fact these ones were the exact same pair. Oxnard recognized them. Glaring, cold, and frightening eyes. Eyes that could give you the chills and leave you in a state of paralysis. Then, unexpectedly, more eyes appeared. They kept appearing until there were ten sets of eyes.
"It was just as I thought." Maxwell explained.
"Do you mind letting the rest of us in on it." asked Boss, who was unsure of what Maxwell was talking about.
"Well, you see. These are known as rats they make nests in homes and populate. In time their numbers can grow to hundreds."
"But how did you know it was rats." Pashmina questioned.
"When I looked at the rag found near Hamtaro's home I noticed that it was torn. But these weren't any ordinary tears. They were from a rodent. As soon as I saw the cloth I knew that it was a group of rats that did this. The rats were using the cloth. Probably for their nest. When the spotted Hamtaro they most likely thought he was trying to invade their nest. So naturally they tried to defend their nest. Unfortunately, against this many rats Hamtaro didn't stand a chance.
"Oh my gosh! So that's what happened." exclaimed Pashmina.
"Exactly. So now that we found the culprits, we should inform Laura's family."
The ham-hams made squeaky noises to alert Laura's dad. When he went outside to investigate the noise, the rest of the hamsters ran and hide. Laura's dad discovered the rat's nest. The rats were dealt with, (I tell ya how later.) and then Laura's dad went back inside. Meanwhile, Laura's mom (Dang I forget their names.) pulled up to the driveway. When she got out she had a carrier in her arms and a mournful look on her face. The ham- hams climbed up the tree and peered into Laura's room where Laura was waiting for her mom to tell her the news, good or bad.
"Laura. I'm sorry, but Hamtaro didn't make it. I know this must be hard for you, but Hamtaro was very injured and he was hardly breathing when we brought him to the vet. He tried as hard as he could, but he couldn't save Hamtaro. I'm so sorry honey."
Laura's mom tired as hard as she could to console Laura, but she knew that her attempts were futile. Meanwhile, the rest of the ham-ham gang were sitting in the tree, teary eyed. Everyone was saddened by the news, but the realization still hadn't sunk in completely. The ham-hams and Laura would never get over the trauma of Hamtaro's death. They would all miss the courageous and friendly hamster known to them as Hamtaro.
(A/N: So what did you think? I know sort of anti-climatic, and I know some of you didn't want Hamtaro to die, but that's the point of tragedy. Believe me this hurt me as much as it did you. Anyways this isn't over yet. Next up is some alternate endings that I though up to end this story with. Fell free to post your opinions, or any ideas that you may have as how you would have like to end this story and I will try to add them in the next chapter.)
