Chapter 3 -

'I NEED YOU TWO'S HELP. I WANT THAT BORN-FOR-NOTHING RUBBER DUCKY TO BRUSH HIS TEETH.' the Mouth of Sauron said.

'But--' before both of them could finish their sentence, they were thrown through the open gate of the Dark Tower, Baradur. The gate was slammed shut behind them by an unseen force.

'We're in deep shit this time round,' Tom said and looked around.

'Yeah, possibly in Sauron's shit too,' said a voice from a puddle of foul-smelling mud - or it is shit? A black figure clad with mud crawled out. 'That bastard up there doesn't know what's hygiene. Imagine shit just falling down like rain.'

A rumble shook the tower's interior. Ten thousand kilograms of shit rained down upon them mercilessly all at the same time.

'AHH!! ONE GOT INTO MY MOUTH!!' a voice screamed.

'I DRANK SOME DOWN!! I DON'T WANT TO LIVE ANYMORE!!' another voice cried.

'HEHE HEHE! GOT A TASTE OF THE DARK LORD'S "BOWEL EFFICIENCY"?' Sauron cooed from above in a form of 'Batman'.

'Yeah, a taste indeed. I know you just had peanut butter cookies for breakfast,' Tom said sarcastically.

'INTRUDERS, WHY ARE YOU HERE?'

'Err... to brush your teeth I think,' John replied.

There was a momentary silence in the Tower.

'HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT?!'

Then, the 'batman' glided down towards the two trembling boys. 'SAY GOODBYE TO THE WORLD, MY FRIENDS.'

Out of the sudden, a blue flash beamed between the 'batman' and the boys. Before Sauron could do anything, a gigantic toothbrush sprang out from nowhere and flew into his mouth. It started brushing by itself. 'UP AND DOWN! UP AND DOWN! CAN YOU SEE ME DANCING UP AND DOQN? TO THE LEFT AND TO THE RIGHT...' the toothbrush sang in a loud and clear voice which unnervingly sounded very much like the Mouth of Sauron.

'STO... STOP IT,' Sauron roared while his mouth foamed massive galaxies of bubbles.

'AND BACK TO THE LEFT AND BACK TO THE RIGHT! UP AND DOWN AND UP AND DOWN! HERE WE GO DANCING!'

(actually, the Mouth of Sauron was doing this magic from the outside)

'OK OK. I SURRENDER!' Sauron blurted out.

Just then, the toothbrush and the foam disappeared, revealing two rows of sparkling white teeth.

'GOD BLESS THE TWO OF YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS.' Sauron said wholeheartedly. 'HOW CAN I REPAY YOUR KINDNESS?'

'I order you to...' (making use of this time to use the word 'order') Tom paused for a while and continued: 'BRING US BREAT SENSUOUS PHOTOS OF ORCS BATHING!!'

'YEAH!!' John cheered and danced around.

(author: Even I myself was rather disgusted!!)

'OH I SEE. THAT IS NO PROBLEM FOR ME. NAZGUL NO 3?'

'YES MASTER,' a Nazgul walked out from a door.

'BRING ME THE PHOTOS WE SHOT.'

The Nazgul handed them a stack of photos and they squealed in delight.

'ALRIGHT, I HOPE YOU TWO HAVE A NICE TRIP HOME.'

The black gate swung open with a flick of his finger.

'Bye!' they waved goodbye and walked out.
