Time To Roll

The insistant racket from the dungeon made King Amielosun cringe with guilt. Worse yet he felt foolish and vulnerable. He had sent his ally to prison, along with her sons and friends. He had a feeling that something wasn't right, that someone was watching him with a vengeful mind. Before long this fear turned to agression and he ordered a few guards to retrieve the culprit of the noise from the dungeon.

"Guard Recoltoc," King Amielosun said.
"Yes sire." Guard Recoltroc said.
"Go quiet those kids." King Amielosun ordered.
"Will do sire." Recoltroc saluted.
"And make it snappy." King Amielsun snapped.

Cindy, Libby, Jimmy, Sheen, Carl and Eustace rattled the cell bars, their muscles straining with every ounce placed into the stress of trying to get out. King Goobot, Grandma Taters, Beautiful Gorgeous, The Junk Man, baby Eddie, Professor Calamitous, Zix and Travoltron were all sitting on the floor, watching the children in their attempts to get free. All of them had had experiences in cells and prisons before.

Meldar and Tee, on the other hand, were very tensed with anxiety. They had never been in a cell, much less a dungeon. They kept pacing back and forth along the cell bars, trying to find a weak spot in them. Tee had thrown himself at the bars numberous times before giving up. Meldar had tried his best to bend them to no avail. Angela was in the back, stretched all out on the bench. She had obviously been in a jail cell before. Everyone jusdt wanted to get out of the cell.

"Can somebody explain what just happened?" Libby asked.
"I can tell you what happened." Jimmy said. "Angela messed up."
"Don't say that!" Cindy exclaimed. "She doesn't mess up."
"Then why did she have that accident on the track a few years ago?" Jimmy shouted.
"She was young stupid." Cindy exclaimed.
"Yeah, young and stupid." Jimmy stated.
"She had no reason to go into racing." Eustace stammered
"Yes she did." Libby started. "It was a hobby."
"Yeah, and it placed her in a great deal of pain and loss." Eustace stated.
"That might be so, but she recovered..." Libby said.
"And she hasn't changed." Jimmy said. "She'll never ever change."
"She has changed..." Cindy exclaimed.
"Angela is a redhead," Jimmy exclaimed. "Redheads never change."
"What are you talking about?" Cindy exclaimed.
"It's a gene," Jimmy explained. "Redheads are typically more agressive."
"Okay I agree with that." Eustace said.

Angela listened to the conversation with her ear litteraly glued to the wall. Meldar and Tee had even stopped their search for the weakest spot in the cell bars and joined her. They had heard part of the conversation about something to do with redheads, and the first thing that had popped into their minds was that thier mother was a redhead. Meldar slowly pushed himself onto Angela's lap, and Angela circled her arms around his waist. He didn't fight her, because he felt that he missed this part. The holding and cuddling his mother had done to reassure him in his time of need.

"Okay, so Angela is a redhead with a temper." Libby said. "So what."
"Her temper will be her downfall one day." Eustace said.
"Why are you two ganging up on her!" Cindy screamed.
"We aren't, we're just pointing out the obvious." Jimmy said.
"Haven't you ever heard about the recessive gene?" Eustace asked.
"Yeah why?" Cindy asked.
"Well, from what I learned a few months ago, Angela is the last of her kind." Eustace said.
"What!" Cindy, Libby and King Goobot exclaimed.

Angela yanked her head away from the wall and with a quick jump, she soon stood up on the bench. She knew that wasn't true, she knew that she wasn't the last living red haired human in the universe. She had just seen a redhead, maybe it was just her, but she began to really question the purpose of her loyalty to these snotty children. She wanted to yank a hole in their seats so quickly that they wouldn't sit down for a week.

"Now wait a minute here..." King Goobot started.
"Angela isn't the only one left." Libby said.
"There are many left." Cindy said.
"I didn't say redheads are extinct," Eustace said.
"Redheads with green eyes are though." Jimmy said.
"That's so stupid." Libby said.
"I've seen plenty of redheads out there." Carl said. "I'm a redhead."
"You've got orange hair Carl." Jimmy said.
"It's still red." Cindy exclaimed.
"I thought you were a genius." Cindy said.
"I am a genius." Jimmy said.
"Then you should now about the genes that come with a redhead." Cindy said.
"Redheads are special." Libby said.
"Oh really," Eustace said. "Name a few."
"Lola Lohan, William Crisis, Bruce Fitzgerald, Jenifer Monifers, and Halle Jones." Libby replied.
"Okay, but do they have green eyes?" Jimmy asked.
"No," Cindy said. "But why..."
"See, everyone you've seen has either had brown or blue eyes with red hair." Jimmy said.
"Not with green eyes." Eustace said.

Angela had had about enough. With a quick punch, she tossed a big chunk out of the cell wall. Libby, Cindy, Carl, Sheen, King Goobot and Zix barely had enough time to miss a serious injury. Angela, along with Meldar and Tee, ran in with a furious tone in her voice. Baby Eddie hid himself under the bench, Professor Calamitous did the same. Everyone else just stood there gaping at the hole there in the wall.

"Now you listen here." Angela bellowed. "Just because I have red hair doesn't make me any different than you. My red hair gives me my strength, my youth and it gives me something to hold onto. I have lived for thirty long years with this red hair, and it has yet to disappoint me. So you'd best shut your mouth and nothing else'll be said. I fell off of my horse that one day ten years ago due to faulty listening and selfishness. I made myself what I am, and now it's your turn."

Meldar watched as his mother yanked and twisted her body from the left to the right with such ease. It looked as if she hadn't aged a bit. She was as agile and athletic as ever. Why it had taken him so long to understand this he didn't know, but he knew right now that they all needed to depend on each other to get out of here. Tee also felt the same way, as did King Goobot, Grandma Taters, Beautiful Gorgeous, baby Eddie, Professor Calamitous, Zix and Travoltron.

"We need to work quickly to get out of this situation I placed us in." Angela said.
"And how are we to do that?" Jimmy asked.
"With these." Angela stated.

Angela pulled out her pair of red cufflinks, the red crystals and the opal inside shined brilliantly. She also took out a pair of blue generators. These she gave to Meldar. Once Meldar and she had placed their generators on, they dirrected everyone to shield their faces. Within a few seconds, the cells back wall was in shambles. Vandanna stood outside, waiting. Angela and the others ran out and followed her. Tee stopped in mid flight and ran back. Picking up baby Eddie, he rushed back to join the others. Over the hills, mountains and lakes they went, until they came up to the ships that Vandanna had pulled from the hanger. Angela, Cindy, Libby, Jimmy, Sheen, Carl and Eustace ran into King Goobot's ship and strapped in. Tee, Zix and Travoltron ran into theirs and without even closing the door, they took off. Grandma Taters, Beautiful Gorgeous, baby Eddie and Professor Calamitous ran into The Junk Man's ship. They were off within a few seconds. Meldar and Vandanna were already gone.

"That was smooth." Libby said.
"Yeah, and scary." Carl stammered.
"It was a lot of fun." Cindy said.
"Angel." Jimmy said.
"Yes Jimmy." Angela said.
"I'm...I'm so sorry." Jimmy said.
"So am I." Eustace exclaimed.
"No problem, no hard feelings." Angela said.
"What next?" Libby asked.
"We'll follow Meldar." Angela said.
"Are you sure we can trust him?" Cindy asked.
"Well, not sure to be exact." Angela said.

I made sure to place a small tidbit of information, real hardcore information, about redheads in this chapter. It is true that redheads are extremely tempermental and they are usually blue eyed. This is the last chapter of Part Three. Epilogue #4 will come up soon.
