Courage saw the blue viper, and gasped.
"You're turning me in!?" he asked in shock. "Even after I saved your life? You're still handing me over?!"
"I have too. There is no other way to save Janet!" Molly said, ready to cry. "Don't make this any harder than it has to be!"
"Don't you see? I know Rex, and he's lying! Even if you do turn me in to them, they will still harm Janet, AND YOU!" Courage screamed. Molly froze in her tracks. She dropped to her knees and sobbed.
"You're right! I was just so worried about Janet that I didn't realize the consequences!"
"I worry about my family too, but I find other ways to help without doing something I would regret. Even if they didn't hurt Janet, could you live with what you were about to do on you conscience?" Courage asked, giving Molly a soft pat.
"No, but I could!" a voice called from behind. All Courage saw before darkness, was Rex swinging his metal tail.
When he came too, Dark Sonic was tying him to the rear bumper of the viper.
Courage began to panic and sweat was coming out of every pore.
"The realization you are about to die is never comforting." Rex said, squatting over Courage. He stood up and walked off to the car.
"Even if you do get ElBlanco, you'll never get out of town with him! Burt will stop you! You'll never get any money!" Courage growled.
"It's not about the money! That is only a part of it. The real profits will benefit from researching the special qualities of this albino species of Caederus Americana! To keep our real plan under control!" Rex said.
"What 'real plan' is that?" Courage asked in an angered sarcastic tone.
"Can't tell you! If you happen to survive you'd blab it to the whole town, thus effectively ruining my entire plan! This whole contest was a hoax to catch ElBlanco! But if we get him a day early because of your unexpected arrival, I ain't going to argue! Someone must love me!" Rex said, looking up at the sky.
"It ain't god, so don't worry!" Courage said in an angry growl. He hasn't felt this angry since Sandy was taken away from him (See: Courage and the Hendersons)
"Ya know? You got one hell of a mouth on you for someone about to be worm bait!" Rex said, patting Courage on the forehead.
"I AM NOT BAIT!" Courage screamed.
"Well, what else are we going to call you? It certainly ain't VIRGIN sacrifice!" Dark Sonic said, finishing the knots.
"Good one!" Rex said, pointing in Dark Sonic's direction.
Molly was beginning to get angry at what she saw.
"You know, little girl? Janet isn't safe. After him is you, then after you is her!" Rex said with a smile, bearing his canines.
"I already figured that out! And you're the one that isn't safe! I took the liberty of phoning ahead! Burt is on his way right about..."
She looked at her Eminem watch...
"now" and gunshots rang out. Burt's truck pulled up.
"Unhand that dog you scum bag!" Burt said, pointing his riffle at Rex.
Rex and Dark Sonic put their hands in the air, while Rosalita untied Courage.
"You think you won? Ha! It is far from over! When we get ElBlanco, you'll see!" Rex said.
"What are you blabbing about?" Burt asked, getting annoyed.
Rex relaxed and sat on the hood of his beloved viper. He crossed his ankles and leaned back on his hands. "You see, ElBlanco has special qualities that inhibit his ability to become Shriekers. If we can find out what that quality is, we can reverse it and increase reproduction!"
"Why?" Jodi asked.
"Well, miss, it's like this. Graboids have been around as far as ancient times. They are what created stories of Basilisks, not unlike the one in Harry Potter. They have been accounted throughout history.
"All of this is relevant because of our plan. Now that you are all here, I can tell you. While I was here looking for the underground lab, your garage is more interesting Burt, I captured me a few Shriekers. I fed them a ton of food on purpose to make them reproduce. Three soon became 12 (three make one each, then 6 make one each) and I stopped there with an idea.
"If I could reverse the gene that stops reproduction in ElBlanco, I can triple the output of Shirekers! They would spit out three at a time instead of one! Thus making more at one time! Then getting them into an affection of raw flesh, they would be perfect on the battlefield.
"They would eat the corpses of the slain, spit out three at a time, and then they would feed on the remains, and spit out three at a time! One 'Super Shrieker' could dominate the entire battlefield with just one dead body! It would be like a self contained army, always replacing the lost numbers and adding more as well! The slaughter alone would amplify the numbers enough for them to ravage the entire globe in a matter of months! I call it 'Operation Populous Decompression!' Imagine how much the government would pay for such an amazing weapon of war! And best of all, it isn't against the law! It isn't a biological weapon because it was naturally made!"
Burt was shocked by this. This was the most insane experiment he ever heard of since Cletus made 412. (Episode 1 with Christopher Lloyd!) "Super Shriekers"? One becoming thousands just by one little gene change?
Rex smiled more wickedly as he saw the effects of his plan sink in. Everyone stood in open-mouthed awe.
"Pretty amazing isn't it? And the best part is, I am only one step away!" Rex got into his car. "C'mon Ahab! We gots us a great white worm to catch!" and the two sped off.
Courage and Sandy held each other tightly. Sandy was actually afraid.
"He's insane!" she said.
"I know, he was my owner once." Courage said solemnly.
"I'm sorry to hear that." Sandy said, hugging Courage.
"It's okay. He wasn't like this then." Courage said, returning the embrace.
Well, well, well. Rex is making a benefit to our military in all the wrong reasons! Our government would gladly accept this twisted marvel of science, but will Burt allow this to happen?
"You're turning me in!?" he asked in shock. "Even after I saved your life? You're still handing me over?!"
"I have too. There is no other way to save Janet!" Molly said, ready to cry. "Don't make this any harder than it has to be!"
