CHAPTER 6
BUSTER'S BIGGEST MISTAKE
"I'm leaving you".
Buster turned around abruptly, and saw Snowrose in the door of his home office, with two trunks on each side and Anny and Balder right behind her.
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me. I'm sick of this "miracle eco". I'm taking the kids and leave for another village" Snowrose said, the two young ottsels nodded in agreement.
"But… you can't just leave! Who's going to protect you?" Buster asked.
"There are no precdators around remember? You've made sure of that" Snowrose said, her voice made it clear she didn't like the destruction of the predators.
"There are still precdators outside our borders" Buster said.
"So I'll bring some blue eco to get away from them. There's no need for any more arguments, I've made up my mind" Snowrose said and turned to leave.
"Wait!"
Buster grabbed Snowrose's arm.
"Let go of me!"
"Please don't leave me. Have you forgotten how you felt when we married?"
"What I felt back then doesn't matter. The ottsel I fell in love with is gone".
She let go of her trunks and simply ran trough the door, quickly followed by her offspring.
"Mom! What about our stuff?" Anny asked.
"Never mind that. We'll get new toys when we get to Mountain-Lake Town" Snowrose said.
"But the stuffed chinbit dad gave me is in that trunk!" Anny cried.
"Then I'll get you a similar one! And don't even mention your father ever again!" Snowrose yelled.
Balder felt that was going a bit too far, but he didn't say anything.
He understood that his mother was sad, but Anny didn't understand much about what was going on.
On their way to the tunnel exit, the three ottsels passed the large factory where the dark eco was being made, Snowrose stopped for a second.
"Wait here kids. I'm going to pick up some blue eco" she said and ran into the building.
Balder and Anny had no intention of getting into the building, Anny was scared that if she went in there she would become a monster like her father but waited patiently outside.
"Do you think mom will become bad too when she walks in there?" she asked her brother.
"Of course not. That only happens if you touch the dark eco. See, there she comes" Balder said.
Snowrose came out through the main door with a bottle of blue liquid in her arms.
All of a sudden Balder got the feeling something was wrong.
"Mom! Get out of there!" he yelled.
Snowrose just looked at him puzzled for a second or two, and then the eco-factory started glowing in a scary purple light.
Before Snowrose had time to react the entire building collapsed on her in large bolts of purple and dark blue.
"MOM!" Anny yelled and started to run towards the building until someone grabbed her tail and threw her in the other direction.
"Don't be silly girl come here!"
Anny and Balder ran away from the crater and out into the forest around, they hardly had time to look at whoever grabbed Anny's tail.
Their survival instinct kicked in, and all they thought about was to get away.
Not until they could no longer see the purple flames that were now erupting from the tunnel entrance Anny and Balder decided it was safe to stop running.
"What-what happened?" Anny said as tears came streaming.
"The purple eco got mixed with the red, which must have caused the explosion" someone said.
Balder looked around and was surprised to see his father, looking just as shocked as they did.
"What do you mean? You knew this was going to happen?" Balder asked.
"No! I had no idea! I just thought the eco would get stronger if I mixed them… I just wanted… if we got stronger we could…."
"Wreck the planet even more?" a new voice asked.
Rambo and Otto came towards them, but as soon as they got near Rambo collapsed.
"See now what this miracle potion of yours caused? You got power and destroyed the precdators but now Tunnel Town is destroyed!" Rambo said. "And I'm terribly tired!"
Otto shook his head.
"Rambo. You've got to be the only ottsel in the world who can see your own village blow up and then complain about tiredness" he said.
"What happened to the villagers?" Buster asked.
"Most got away. But quite a lot died." Otto said.
"Man I need a fish" Rambo said from the ground.
"Can you for one second think about something else than food?" Buster complained.
"Where's mommy?" Anny asked.
Neither Rambo nor Otto answered, nor did Rambo complain about tiredness and hunger anymore.
Miss.Ecofraek: changes was made to this chapter, Otto wasn't in the original version (that was deleted, grumble)
