Chapter Ten: The plot thickens

The hunters walked for quite a while after their decision of splitting up the annoying characters.

"Who do you think is left?" asked Gemma thoughtfully.

"What do you mean?" Otogi stopped and looked at her.

"Well, lately we seem to have been capturing annoying cereal box people, so can anyone think of another annoying person or thing from a cereal box. "

The gang thought of all the stupid slogans they could until finally Joey knew who had to be next.

"I got it!" He exclaimed. "It's gotta be dat rabbit from the 'Trix' commercials!"

"Oh ya" said Otogi. "god I hate him."

Just then they heard some little kids screaming. Quickly they ran towards the faint sound as it got louder and louder.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Holy crap, what are we gonna do??? What the freakin hell are we gonna do????!!!" Treana couldn't hold it in any longer. She hugged Tristan as her only means of support.

"I don't know!!" He screamed back. They could barely hear each other over the crashing of the violent waves.

~INSIDE THE LIGHT HOUSE~

Lucky pondered for a while. He carefully looked at his plan in his evil mind.

"Let's see here, Tristan and Tre-something or other will get killed in storm. I go out after the storm has calmly passed. I find those hunters that are after me and..dispose of them. well, I'll just get Tristan to handle them for me. I'll sit at the side lines, maybe bring some popcorn for the show, and everything will turn out perfectl-"

Lucky paused. "Dang -nabbit, I need that fool, Tristan."

~OUTSIDE THE LIGHTHOUSE~

Treana and Tristan were now almost blinded by the heavy rain, hail, and waves. "What the hell.. I LOVE YOU!" Treana blurted.

"WHAT!!!?"

"I said, I LOVE YOU!!!"

"WHAT??!"

"I SAID. I LOVE- oh never mind, just forget it"

"Hm?" Tristan shrugged, he figured she couldn't have said anything to terribly important to him anyway.

Suddenly an enormous wave came up. Just as it was about to engulf them whole, they were pulled inside the lighthouse.

It took them a while to get in-focus again, but when they finally did they realized their currant situation. Treana was sitting on Tristan's lap.

"Whoops, sorry" she apologized as she got off of him.

"S'okay"

They looked around they room three times (being as they were still a bit whoozy) before they came to a conclusion. "Damn that little imp, he ran off" Tristan snarled.

"Nf I dmnn't" There was a muffled voice underneath Tristan.

Tristan got up to reveal the leprechaun squished on the floor.

"No, I didn't" he repeated. "I just pulled you in so you could finish what you started, Tristan."

"Finish what I started?"

"Yes, you have to help me kill those Lucky hunters."

"No way" Tristan objected, "those guys are my friends! Well, all except that 'Stini' girl, she's not.. Wait, neither is Gemma, but the rest are!"

"Well, your going to if you want my gold and- hey, why are you here?" Lucky pointed to Treana. "You weren't supposed live."

"Too bad, cuz I did." She stepped on him and then gave him a stomp.

"Ow", he said in a weak voice. Luck struggled to stand up. "Very well then. You'll both help me."

Tristan and Treana looked at one another and sighed.

What next?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The Lucky hunters kept running until they could see two small figures in the distance. One of them was a rabbit.

"Wait a minute, dat guy has a gun!" yelled Joey. They stopped to rethink their plan.
