And so we come to our next endeavor, thinking on the Circles of Change, I come upon our next Dedication, Creepy Critters. And as this is pulling stuff from everybody and his cousin, I am introducing Cheesy Sci-Fi Movie Critters. You know those movies (Plan 9 from Outer Space comes to mind). I believe Ed Wood owns most of these, if not, they are not mine and that's all that matters. (Oh, and for your entertainment I will be sticking in the odd critter that comes fresh from my warped mind, you'll just have to guess which is which)(Just kidding about the last part, sorry I shouldn't have gotten your hopes up)
Chapter 9 Not from Outer Space (I swear I didn't Plan this unless you think it's clever. Then I did) Posted as Chapter 12
The Queen and her Heralds had just gotten the mess of the last few chapters cleaned up when the first reports from the guard came in.
"Giant produce?" Selenay asked confused.
"What was that?" Daren asked.
"There are reports of isolated attacks from giant rolling vegetables" she said, still shaking her head.
Skif looked up from the report he was reading, a smile on his face "You don't have to worry, the Heralds down there herded the things into Exile's gate. The people will eat well this winter" he said.
"Your Majesty" the guard burst in the door.
"Yes?" she said, wondering what was coming next.
"A small rabbit has been killing men on Coopers street" he said when he finally got his breath back (Yes, I know this one's not actually a sci-fi movie, but hey, I like Monty Python)
Another guard walked in, a couple of reports in his hands. Mutely he passed them to Daren and after Selenay had given the orders for archers to search for the rabbit she turned to look at her husband.
He looked up and shook his head "there's a strange jelly like object that is swallowing everything it touches" he said, looking a little sick.
"We'll take care of it" Elspeth said, she got directions before she and Darkwind took off to deal with the problem.
Selenay looked at her husband "What was the other report?" she asked.
Greggory stared in disbelief at the pile of fuzzy purring furballs laying in the middle of Companions field, he shook his head. It seemed to get larger every so often.
A healer walked up to see what the Companions were looking at, she picked one up and idlely examined it "Oh" she exclaimed in disgust as she dropped it back on the pile.
"Get rid of them, quickly" she said urgently.
From the other side of the field there was a flash of light and when it cleared a confused looking man stood there. Huh, he thought, how'd I get here? (Yeah yeah, I know he's not a critter, and he's not cheesy, but he is from a sci-fi story, so there. You know the thought occurred to me about Sierra. Nope bad author, don't think)
He frowned and snapped his fingers, another flash of light and the grass was empty again, along with the pile of purring furballs, even Q isn't that cruel.
Are you still waiting for the second report? Too bad, I'm feeling evil today.
Harry (Not Harry Potter, this is a different one, perhaps his evil twin, yeah that's it) walked his beat down near the Compass Rose, he liked this one, all he mostly had to deal with were tipsy blues on most days. He heard a commotion ahead and sighed, it looked like this wouldn't be a repeat of most days. He kept a hand on his sword and cautiously approached the source of the noise.
He wrinkled his nose in disgust at the pile of steaming ash wrapped in a black cape (Hey it's daytime what else would you expect?)
( I know, I know that's low even for an Evil Sic Fic)
Harry looked into a nearby alley, what the hey? He thought. A wizened little thingamajig wearing a robe stood there looking back at him.
"May the force be with you" it said to him.
It talks, he thought in confusion, maybe it's one of the nonhuman envoys who had taken to visiting Haven these last few years. He reached to give him a hand, but his went right through the critters middle.
Selenay looked at Daren waiting to hear what the second report had to say. He opened his mouth to tell her...
Have you noticed that Sierra is nowhere to be found in this little piece of Evil? Well, the respite is not to last. For all you Vampire fans out there, sorry I just couldn't resist. And here I end this chapter, what's that I hear? Cheering? Oh you really want me to continue? What's that, groans? Well, too bad the worst is yet to come. (Evil laughter slowly trailing off...)
AN: Don't worry miss Petey rep, it's coming...
