Madori - And here's chapter three for y'all!
Rath - It's kinda short... Shouldn't it be more of an interlude?
Madori - ... Shut up -_-;;

Chapter 3 - Time-outs and Cellmates
Recap!
The Dragon Knights had been 'sent' on a special mission to stop the 1,724.3 - year - old monster from destroying Dusis. On their way, they stopped at a village plagued by a demon, which Rath promptly defeated. However, upon defeating the beast, our heroes (sans Thatz, who had been thrown into jail earlier) were imprisoned for 'impersonating' themselves, which was largely Ruwalk's fault.
In a special little corner of the Dragon Castle...
Ruwalk - Why me, why me, why me?
Alfeegi - *From the doorway* It's your own fault, you know.
Annoying brat #1 - Hey, look! A grown-up is in time out!
Annoying brat #2 - Let's go play with him!
Annoying brat #3 - Yeah!
Ruwalk - Ow! Ow! Ow! Stop pulling my hair!
Annoying brat #2 - Aw, he's no fun.
Annoying brat #1 - ... Doggy pile!
Ruwalk - Ack! Nooooo! *Drowned out by a series of noises that suggest that a doggy pile is taking place*
~`~
Thatz - No, please! Don't take them away! We've been together for such a long time! I can't do anything without them! Please don't leave me all alone, I'm begging you!
Guard - Sorry, no eating in the cell.
Thatz - But those are MY candy bars! I've had them since we left Dragoon! Can't I keep just one?
Guard - Ok, okay. Snickers or Milky Way?
Thatz - Snickers.
Guard - Here ya go.
Thatz - Yay!
Rath - Milky Way is better.
Thatz - Is not.
Rune - Aren't they melted by now anyway?
Thatz - No, they're pleasantly creamy.
Rune - This is bad. You and Rath take us on an unnecessary detour to this town, we get jailed for losing an impersonation contest to imposters of ourselves, and to top it off, the only source of entertainment in this cell is a television set that plays only kid shows! God help the poor souls who actually watch that stuff.
Rath - *Sitting cross-legged and wide-eyed in front of the television* I see. So "A" is for apple.
Rune - *Sweatdropping* ... Can I take that back or is it already too late?
~`~
Meanwhile, in a DIFFERENT part of the Castle, there was plotting afoot. Lykouleon paced in his room, thinking.
Lykouleon - With Ruwalk nowhere to be found, getting out of the castle is going to be more difficult than usual. However, this plan might work! Then again, I only thought it over for two minutes so... maybe not. Either way, I need supplies!
Going over to his bed, he pushed a secret button. A door opened. After going through password, voice, handprint, and eye identification, another door opened, revealing a room filled with escape tools of every description.
Lykouleon - Large suspicious looking bag, check! Stealth Suit - thank you Metal Gear Solid - Check! Looks like I've got everything I need. Let's go!
*Enter Mission: Impossible music* Dun, dun, dun dun, dun, dun, dun dun dun!
Lykouleon - *Shuffle shuffle shuffle*
Random Dragon Fighter - *Walks up* Hello, Lord Lykouleon! You're looking very unsuspicious today. *Walks away*
Lykouleon - ... *Looks down at the stealth suit* Aw, but the guy at the dealership said the suit really worked... guess I'll just have to wing it. *Shuffle shuffle shuffle*
~`~
Rath - *singing* I love you! You love me! We're a happy family!
Thatz - ... I'm hungry.
Rune - Idiots surround me. *Starts banging his head against the wall*
Thatz - Hmm... Hey, Earth! Can you do me a favor?
Five minutes later...
Rath - "B" is for birdie. We shall find out what "C" is for momentarily!
Rune - *Bang, bang, bang*
Thatz - No, Earth! That's not what I wanted! Put it back and try again!
Another elapsed time period later...
Rath - *Singing* Let's all go to Sesame Street!
Rune - Stop that! Do you have any idea how annoying that is?
Rath - Nope.
Thatz - *Munch, munch*
Rune - Huh? Thatz, how'd you get your candy back?
Thatz - This? I had Earth go find it for me. Except the first time he came back he brought what appeared to be a set of keys of some sort, so I told him to go back and get the right thing.
Rune - YOU IDIOT!
Thatz - What, were those keys important? Now that I think about it, I should have kept them. They might have been keys to a really big treasure chest or something. Dang it!
Rune - *Starts hitting his head on the wall really hard*
Rath - *Looks over* Hey! That looks like fun! *Imitates Rune*
Crack crack crack crack CRACKCRACKCRACKCRACKCRACKCRACKSHATTER
The Dragon Knights looked at the rubble of what had only moments ago been a sturdy stone wall.
Rune - Freedom!
Rath - Freedom? Where?
Rune - We're free to go!
Rath - Huh? When?
Rune - The gap. In the wall. Right in front of you. See?
Rath - C? No, I only got to B. Which is for birdie by the way.
Rune - ... *Sigh*
~`~
Lykouleon - *Shuffle shuffle shuffle* Almost there. Ah! The door! Only one small dash to freedom!
Alfeegi - *Waiting at the entrance* Hello Lykouleon.
Lykouleon - *Skids to a stop* Drat! Trapped like a rat! Time for the bag of disguises! *Rumages through the bag*
Alfeegi - ... What are you doing?
Lykouleon - *Now wearing one of those masks with the big eyes and nose and mustache* Ehem. *Attempting to imitate a German accent* Hello. My name is Mr. Schnootenheimer, yah. I am definitely in no way, shape, or form the Dragon Lord trying to sneak out of the castle, yah. So just ignore me, pretend like I was never here, yah.
Alfeegi - ...
~`~
Alfeegi - And stay in there!
Lykouleon - But how did you see through my Mr. Schnootenheimer disguise?
Alfeegi - The mission impossible music gave you away.
Ruwalk - Oh God! It burns! Get them off! My back can't support the weight!
Lykouleon - Ruwalk?
Ruwalk - ... Lykouleon?
Annoying brats - Yay! A new adult to play with!
Ruwalk - Be afraid, Lykouleon. Be very afraid.
Alfeegi - It's your own fault, you know.
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`
Madori - You know what? This is kind of fun! I might do an experiment to see how many people I can fit in time out by the time this fic ends!
Dragon Clan Members - Oh, joy.
Thatz - You might have a hard time coming up with something to get Tetheus in trouble.
Madori - I'll think of something. I'll also be sending you Dragon Knights a visitor in the next chapter. Gotta keep up to date with the books, you know.
Dragon Knights - Oh, joy.
Madori - Right. Review please! *Waves* Buh-bye!
Rath - It's kinda short... Shouldn't it be more of an interlude?
Madori - ... Shut up -_-;;
