Kitty and the Rocktumbler

This chapter goes to my poor 12 year old cat, who has bruised her spine, and hasn't been able to walk today, but is trying her best to get back to her feet.

ACT FOURTEEN: Creating a mob in three easy steps
------------
We go back to where Kitty is staring at the looney bin wagon
"My father?", asks Kitty, just to clarify.
"Don't worry Madammoiselle", grins Magneto evily, "We'll take good care of him".
"My father's not crazy!", protests Kitty, "...well not THAT crazy".
"Thanks for the vote of confidence there, Kit", mutters Forge from inside.
Pyro emerges from the crowd
"He was raving like a luantic!", he laughs, "We all heard him, didn't we?!".
"Yeah!", shout the drunks.
"I'll hunt every one of you down, kill you and make it look like an accident", growls Forge.
"No I won't let you!", snaps Kitty at the mob.
Forge walks out with an axe
"Okay, who wants some?!", he shouts.
"Ah, Forge", smirks Pyro, "Tell us again, old man...".
"I remind you i have an axe", says Forge, his eye twitching, "...I'm an inventor on the edge!".
"I mean, tell us again, man who looks very very good for his age", corrects Pyro, "just how big was this beast?".
"Well...he was..wiggy man! humungous!", shouts Forge, "Eight, no more like ten feet!".
The crowd laugh at him.
"Well, you don't get much crazier than that!", says Pyro.
"You'd be a good judge of sanity Pyro", growls, Forge, "It's true I tell you. You Jive Turkey!".
Magneto clicks his fingers and Sam and Roberto pick up Forge by his arms, dragging him off
"Take him away", says Pyro with a manical laugh.
"Let go of me", shouts Forge, "Hey, that arm's fake, if it drops off, i'll drop you!".
"No! You can't do this!", shouts Kitty, being ignored, "WILL YOU LISTEN TO ME?!!!"
Magneto shakes Kitty off him and walks to the wagon. Colossus steps up from the crowd and walks to Kitty.
"Tsk tsk tsk. Poor Kitty", says Piotr, "It's a shame about your father".
"You know he's not crazy, Piotr!", says Kitty.
"Uhhhhhh.......sure", said Piotr, clearing his throat, "I might be able to clear up this little missunderstanding if....".
"If what?", asks Kitty, frowning slightly.
"If you marry me", says Piotr.
"Dun dun DUUUUUUN!", shouts Kurt, then pauses, "sorry...got caught up in the moment"
"What?", saks Kitty, backing off.
"One little word, Kitty", says Piotr, "That's all it takes".
"Never!", growls Kitty.
"That is not the word", said Piotr, "Have it your way".
Roberto and Sam toss Forge into the waggon
"I knew they'd come for me eventually", sniffs Forge, "I'm NOT going to be a model patient. Hey, maybe Wanda knows a way out!".
Kitty runs ito the house, then runs back out with the magic mirror
"My father's not crazy and I can prove it", she says, holding up the mirror to the crowd, "Show me the Beast".
The mirror shows Hank standing in front of a mirror.
"You know, this frilly hat really bring out my eyes", he muses.
"WRONG BEAST, WRONG BEAST!!!", screams Kitty.
"Oh, Gods, my eyes", cries Pyro.
The mirror shows a picture of Lance, who is playing solitare, he blinks
"Oh...my part", he clears his throat, "Roaaaarrrr snarllll hisss growl".
The crowd gasps
"Is it dangerous?", asks Bobby.
"Oh no, he'd never hurt anyone", says Kitty, gazing at the mirror, "Please, I know he looks vicious, but he's really kind and gentle..he's my friend".
"If I didn't know better, I'd say you had feelings for this monster", mutters Piotr.
"No duh", says Kitty, "He's no monster, Piotr, you are!".
Colossus grabs the mirror from her
She's as crazy as the old...Ii mean man who looks very very good for his age", he says, "The beast will make off with your children. He'll come after them in the night".
"No!", protests Kitty.
"We're not safe until he's mounted on my wall", shouts Piotr, "I say we kill the beast!".
We're not safe until he's dead, sings Ray
He'll come stalking us at night, sings Bobby
Set to sacrifice out children with his monsterous appitite, sings Sam
Jubilee nods, signing herself.
He'll wreak havok on our village
If we let him wander free
Piotr grabs a torch, getting to the front of the mob, singing.
So it's time to take some action boys..and girls
It's time to follow me!
Amara make a fire and Pyro stokes it, making it into immages of Lance snarling as Piotr sings
Through the mist, through the woods
Through the darkness and the shadows
It's a nightmare but it's one exciting ride
Say a prayer, then we're there
At the drawbridge of of a castle
And there's something truley terrible inside
Pyro makes the flames go higher, transforming into a huge beast as Piotr continues to sing.
It's a beast
He's got fangs, razor sharp ones
Massive paws
Killer claws for the feast
Hear him roar, see him foam
But we're not coming home
'Till he's dead, good and dead, kill the beast!
"No, I won't let you do this!", shouts Kitty, trying to get in the way.
"If you're not with us, you're against us", snaps Piotr, "Bring the man who looks very very good for his age!".
Sam and Roberto pull Forge out of the waggon again
"Oh yeah, it's go time", says Forge, putting up his fists, "Come on, I'll take you all!".
They toss him and Kitty into the basement, locking the door
"....Or not", says Forge
"We can't have them running off to warn the creature", says Piotr with a evil laugh, "evil laughs hurt my throat"
"Let us out!", shouts Kitty, banging on the door.
"Why don't you just phase out once they're gone?", asks Forge then sighs, "...man, it hurts my neck lugging this big brain around!".
"We'll rid the village of this beast", shouts Piotr, "Who's with me?".
"We are!", shout the mob, then begiun to sing as they begin to march.
Light your torch mount your horse
Screw your courage to the sticking place, sing Piotr, then blinks, "....okay then"
The mob blink, before shrugging, continuing to sing.
We're counting on Piotr to lead the way
Through a mist, to a wood
Where within a haunted castle
Somethings lurking that you don't see everyday
Piotr leads the mob through the forest, cutting up trees to get ready to attack the castle as the mob continues to sing
It's a beast
One as tall as a mountain
We won't rest
'Till he's good and deceased
Sally fourth, tally ho
Grab your sword, grab your bow
Praise the lord and here we go
"We'll lay seige to the castle and bring back his head!", shouts Piotr.
In the cottage, Kitty is trying to phase through the door, standing on Forge's shoulders
"Heavy....very heavy", gasps Forge
"Shut up!", hisses Kitty, stamping on his head, "I have to warn Lance!. This is all my fault. Oh Papa, what are we going to do?!".
"You can start by hurrying up and getting off my shoulders before I collapse", he squeaks.
Outside, we see Jamie looking in, then seeing Forge's axe machine, giving an evil-kid-grin. We got back to the mob, who are still singing.
We don't like, what we don't
Understand, it frankly scares us
And this monster is mysterious at least
Bring your guns, bring your knifes
Save your children and your wives
"And husbands", adds Tabby, then the mob sings.
We'll save our village and our lives
We'll kill the beast!
