Chappie 5: Hamtaro's task

Bijou led the gang up the spiraling steps to the observatory. Stan and several others slipped in the pools of tears she was creating. Boss tries to comfort her but, of course, it didn't end up well.

"It's ok Bijou, if Hamtaro gets scorched, you still have me." This made Bijou sob even louder and Boss sheepishly returned to the end of the line. Eventually they made it up to the observatory. It opened up into a large stadium. Each ham took a seat and peered down to see a small girl sitting in a throne with what appeared to be her father. The each wore a crown; they were the king and seemingly another princess.

"Allow me to explain." A tall and rather musky servant said. "That is Princess Spoiled and her father, King Rupert. We prefer to keep the Princess here because she is, rather loud." Indeed the hams heard a loud stream of yelling from the girl.

"Daddy, look at their clothes! You said that poor people were just a myth! You lied to me! I want a new daddy, take this one away!"

"But princess, this is your third replacement father this month!" called the servant.

"NOW!" Princess Spoiled yelled. The servant carted off the king and brought in a short and chubby one.

"Here ye, blah blah, please welcome, blah blah blah, the kindly king James." The servant uttered, announcing the new king.

"Bring me my jesters!" Spoiled yelled. Several hamsters emerged from a door, dressed as the ham hams.

"So that's why we've been treated so foul!" Maxwell yelled. "She's been making them steal for her! They must have stolen the costumes too!"

"Time for the evening show!" she yelled. Hamtaro entered through the door. Bijou shrieked. "For your task of bravery, you must fetch this key from Buttercup." She held up a golden key and tossed it into the air, where it was immediately caught by…

"A unicorn?" Hamtaro muttered. "I thought those didn't exist! But then, anything's possible in this nut job of a world. Unicorns are wimpy, so I'll beat em easy!" Suddenly the unicorn's eyes flashed. It pointed it's rather sharp horn, and charged at Hamtaro. Bijou burst into tears.

"Be careful 'amtaro!" She cried. Hamtaro leaped over the unicorn and fell onto its back. It instantly shook him off and Hamtaro crunched into the wall. The unicorn charged again, this time missing him by inches. Hamtaro scurried up and launched himself onto a large bail of hay. Buttercup seemed to be unable to reach him, but then, to white feathery wings erupted on either side of her back. She took off. Hamtaro leapt once again and landed directly on the unicorn's left wing. Buttercup flapped furiously, but Hamtaro was climbing towards the tail, where the key was located. Buttercup kicked rapidly with her feet. The first four times missed. Then suddenly, HIT! He was flung into the air and made the long, 50 foot (200 ham-feet) drop to the dusty ground below. Bijou ran to his side. Hamtaro lay there, motionless. Bijou continued to sob over him. She hugged him. Hamtaro narrowly opened his eyes.

"Its okay, Bijou, look." He opened his paw to reveal a glistening gold key. Then, he fainted.

"It's a wonder he survived that fall." Hamtaro could hear voices around him. He squinted to see that he was lying on a cotton bed, surrounded by the ham-hams. Bijou realized he was awake, and Hamtaro found himself covered in white fur as she hugged him.

"Two left to go." Maxwell said. "I'm doing the test of knowledge." And the hams sat there in the hospital bed, awaiting the next task.
