Ronin vs. Mouse part 2
"The dynasty?" Cye said slowly giving Ryo a look.
Ryo nodded quickly showing them the paper he had been writing on. It was a picture of a mouse with long sharp teeth and evil looking eyes. A dynasty door was behind it and nether spirits where flying around.
"The way I see it, the mouse some how snuck into our dimension from the dynasty. Then it followed us home and waited until we least suspected. Now it's taking us down one by one." Ryo explained looking around nervously.
"Uh huh." Cye said slowly flashing Mia and Kento a worried look. "Okay Ryo I'm asking you this as a friend. Did you accidentally drink something from Rowen's chemistry set again?"
"I'm serious Cye why else would this mouse be attacking us?" Ryo asked.
"Ryo a mouse could not of sneaked into our dimension. That's just stupid." Kento said shaking his head.
"There Ryo, you see, even Kento agrees." Cye said.
"I bet you anything the Warlords must of sent this mouse." Kento added pounding his fist on the table.
"What?" Cye and Mia said.
"Of course that makes perfect sense!" Ryo said agreeing with Kento.
"Ryo why would the Warlords send a mouse to attack us?" Mia asked.
"Isn't it obvious Mia? It's for all the times we kicked their butts. Man, why didn't I see this before?" Ryo said to himself scratching his chin. "We need a plan, how do you get rid of a dynasty mouse?"
"We need a bigger mouse trap." Kento said taking the paper and flipping it over. "We're gonna need some tools, not to mention a lot of string."
Mia looked over at Cye worriedly. Cye gestured towards the backdoor; with a quick nod both of them got up from the table and nearly ran out the door without Ryo and Kento noticing.
Cye shook his head in disbelief as he and Mia made it outside. "Dynasty Mouse? Where in the world would they come up with such an idea?"
"I don't know but I hope they don't destroy my house trying to catch it. Should we really leave them alone right now?" Mia asked as they walked towards her jeep.
"Do you really want to stay while they're planning who knows what in there?" Cye asked climbing into the passenger side.
"Good point. Think they'll be okay in there?" Mia asked climbing in and turning the engine on.
"They're Ronins, they should be fine." Cye said as the drove off. "Hopefully."
"You sure this will work?" Ryo asked leaning over the stair railing. He held on to a piece of string, which was tied to a heavy box. The box was dangling over the living room while Kento placed a piece of cheese on the floor just below it.
"Trust me this will work. I'll say now once the mouse is under the box and then you let go of the string and POW no more mouse problems." Kento explained moving over to the doorway.
"Well hurry it up will ya? This box is very heavy." Ryo said struggling to hold on to the string.
"Shh. I think I see it." Kento said as the mouse poked his head out from under the sofa. The mouse looked around before hiding back under the sofa. A second later a small orange marble rolled out from under the sofa followed by the mouse. Kento stared at it wide eyed while the mouse pushed the marble across the room.
"MY AROMOR!" Kento shrieked running towards the mouse. "You little rat! Give me back my armor now!" He grabbed his armor not paying attention to the cheese next to his feet.
"Geronimo!" Ryo let go of the string. Kento looked up in time to see the large box falling down above him.
BAM
Ryo looked down ad saw Kento sprawled on the floor with the box on top of him. "Kento? You okay?"
Kento groaned staring at the ceiling. "I'm okay."
Ryo nodded. "That's good…did it hit the mouse?"
Mouse: 4 Ronin: 0"Ow ow ow. Careful would ya?" Kento snapped as Ryo put an ice pack on his head.
"What are you complaining about? It was your idea." Ryo snapped at him.
"Well it would of work if you had let go sooner." Kento argued rummaging through the freezer and pulling out a Popsicle. Rowen came rubbing lotion on his skin.
"You idiots still trying to catch that mouse?" Rowen grumbled sitting down at the table.
"Maybe if we smoked it out it would go away." Ryo suggested scratching his chin thoughtfully.
"Are you nuts? I don't think Mia would be happy with you burning her house down Ryo." Rowen said shaking his head and rubbing lotion on his arm. Ryo frowned at him.
"Yeah well I bet she won't be too happy with you using the last of her Tahiti Sweetie body lotion Rowen." Ryo said to him. Rowen stuck his tongue out at him.
"It smells good." Rowen said. "So aside Pyro boy burning the place down got any bright ideas?" Ryo punched him in the arm but said nothing.
"We've been going about this all wrong. In order to catch a dynasty mouse we need to think like one." Kento suggested.
"Well that shouldn't be too hard for you Kento. Both you and the mouse have the same IQ level." Rowen laughed then thought of something. "Wait, dynasty mouse? What are you talking about?"
"We think the warlords sent this mouse to get back at us. And so far it's working." Ryo said bitterly staring at the living room doorway. Rowen looked at him funny.
"Ryo that's got to be the dumbest thing I've heard. No way could the warlords think up something as simple as this." Rowen said thinking it over. "Kayura on the other hand is pretty deviant, and pretty sneaky, and pretty smart too..."
"Notice how he keeps saying pretty?" Ryo whispered to Kento who chuckled.
"Maybe Kayura put the warlords up to this. You noticed how I was the first target." Rowen said.
"No you weren't, Sage was." Ryo pointed out.
"Well Kayura obviously knows that Sage is my best friend. So of course she'd go after him first then me." Rowen explained.
"So you're saying Kayura is out to get you? What for?" Ryo asked suspiciously. Rowen turned red a little and shook his head.
"That's not important, what is important is catching that mouse." Rowen said then looked over at Kento who had just finished his Popsicle. "I've got an idea, I saw this on a Simpson episode once."
Rowen walked over to the freezer and got out the rest of the Popsicles and tossed them to Kento. "Here Kento eat the rest of these." He told him. There were nearly thirty doubled Popsicles in the bag.
"Okay." Kento said happily and started eating them.
"How does Kento eating Popsicles help us catch the mouse?" Ryo asked curiously.
"Just wait here while I get more supplies." Rowen said running upstairs to his room.
Forty minutes and five Brain freezes later…
"Now what are you doing?" Ryo asked watching Rowen, whom had finally decided to wear clothes, glue the Popsicle sticks together. He then connected some wirers onto the sticks and taped a couple of batteries together.
"Well I've constructed a small house for the mouse to enter and hide in." Rowen said putting the final touches on his project. He had glued the Popsicles sticks and made a little box shaped house along with a roof and a little door.
"We're suppose to catch the mouse Rowen. Not give it an Extreme Home Makeover." Ryo snapped getting frustrated.
"I'm not finished. I've connected wires on the floor of the house. Once the mouse enters the house all I have to do is press this button." Rowen showed him the control box. "Then Bam! Fried dynasty mouse."
Ryo scratch his chin thinking it over. "That could work. What do you think Kento?" He looked over and saw Kento lying on the floor staring at the ceiling.
"Oooohhh… I don't feel well." Kento mumbled holding his stomach. Both Ryo and Rowen shrugged picking up the popsicled house and walk out leaving Kento on the kitchen floor.
"Okay we set the house here." Rowen said setting the house down on the floor in the middle of the room. The he trailed the wire over to the back of the sofa where Ryo was hiding.
"Out of curiosity did this work in the Simpson episode?" Ryo asked nonchalantly.
"I dunno, I didn't watch all of it." Rowen said, as he got ready for the mouse.
"How many watts did you set this thing?" Ryo asked.
"5000 watts." Rowen answered quietly looking for the mouse.
"Isn't that more watts than a microwave? You sure we should use that much?" Ryo asked nervously.
"Hey you wanna catch this thing or not? Now be quiet I think I see it coming." Rowen said ducking behind the sofa. They peeked around the sofa and saw the mouse come out from under the back bookcase. It scampered close to the little house the sat on its hind legs and sniffed it.
"That's it come on." Rowen said thumb over the button just waiting to press it. The mouse walked closer to the house still sniffing it before it finally walked inside. "GOTCHA!" Rowen pressed the button. The two waited a few seconds before Ryo spoke up.
"Isn't it suppose to do something?" He asked looking over at Rowen.
"I don't get it. It should have worked." Rowen said pressing the button a few more times before setting it down. The mouse peeked out of the house then ran underneath the chair as Rowen got up to examine the house.
"Maybe the control box is busted." Ryo suggested as he and Rowen looked over the house.
"Nah, it's gotta be a loose wire or something." Rowen frowned looking it over. He then looked inside and sure enough there was a loose wire. "I found it." He reached in and fixed the wire.
While the two ronins were busy fixing the house neither of them saw the mouse sneak over to the sofa and sniff the control box. It wasn't until they heard a small squeak that they looked over and saw the mouse, its front paws on the button. Rowen shrieked trying to pull his hand out. Ryo in his panic grabbed the house to help him just as the mouse stepped onto the button.
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH BOOOOOOOM
Kento sat up slowly and looked over at the living room door curiously. He got up off the floor and made his way over to the door. He looked inside and saw Ryo and Rowen on the floor twitching slightly. Both of them had their hair sticking out in different directions an sizzling. Popsicles sticks were everywhere and there was a large burn mark on Mia's hardwood floors.
Ryo managed to look over at Rowen crossly. "Was that supposed to blow up?"
Rowen twitched a little before answering. "Actually…yeah." He said before passing out.
