Waking up with a start, Lord Air Bud breathes heavily as he hung suspended by 4 wires, one on each paw, above a large room. A sharp tool on a metal arm also hung from the ceiling, along with King Air Bud in the same 4 wire contraption.
"King!" Lord Aid Nud yelled out to his brother, but he got no response. The golden retriever seemed content to just kinda crying and wallowing in what seemed to be their inevitable death. The yellow-eyed bud gazed into the death-defying drop below.
Suddenly, a huge screen in front of them flashed awake, making their pupils dilate quickly as they adjusted to the bright light. On the screen sat a silhouette of a bud, presumably the infamous Licorice Bud.
"So," the silhouette spoke. "These are the two revolutionists who are starting some sort of rebellion?" Lord Air Bud struggled in anger.
"Fuck you." Lord air bud obviously put up quite an argument. Nevertheless, Licorice Bud laughed and the two buds screamed in pain as the sharp tool seemed to inject them with some sort of substance.
"I don't think you understand, Air Bud. You will not get away with this churlish behavior." The sharp tool switched to some sort of saw thing. "Tell me, Air Bud, have you ever heard of embryonic revival? It's quite an interesting procedure."
The saw thing suddenly jabbed out and sliced Lord Air Bud's leg clean off. The severed limb hung by the wire, as the tool switched to a sort of claw that collected the leg. Lord Air Bud, wallowing in pain, watched as the leg was moved to a small laboratory room. A small syringe filled with what seemed to be an embryo was injected into the limb, and a huge red laser ray thing blasted the leg. Like colckwork, a small replica almost of lord air buds body formed from the limb.
"Isn't it beautiful?" Licorice Bud started. "We take mutated embryos that never formed a body of their own and inject them into living matter that then produces a new body for the embryo. The only problem is, where would the living matter come from? Now you know."
Lord Air bud coughed up blood, but was surprised to see no blood leaking out from his leg injury.
"We injected you with a serum." Licorice bud explained. "It prevents harm and slowly heals your body. In a few weeks, your leg will be as good as new. But I wanted to see you suffer first."
Licorice Bud retrieved the small bud from the lab via metal arm, and held her so that the air buds could see. "Say hello to Rosebud, by the way. I'm sure she will live a very accomplished life. Her body is still partially mutated, so her lifespan will be reduced immensely. Maybe, a couple hundred years?"
The metal arm took Rosebud away, and Licorice Bud turned to face King Air Bud. The metal arm, equipped with saw thing, returned to prepare another procedure.
"And you. An accomplice?" King remained silent, though he was no longer crying, and gritted his teeth. The saw thing chopped off his leg as well, but the canine remained silent. His limb was transferred to the lab and another golden retriever was created.
And so it went on, leg torn off until five golden retrievers were born. "Rosebud, Buddha, Budderball, Mudbud, and B-Dawg. Thank you, air buds, for your spectacular contribution to society. Your legs will heal, and then you will be released. In the meantime, I suggest collecting spoonerisms. It's quite fun."
The screen shut off, leaving the two silent buds to hang suspended by wires. Lord Air Bud was hanging by one paw, while King had two of his legs intact. The Crimson stumps of frozen blood swung side to side.
"Bro?" Lord Air Bud started. He received no response, and the two dogs waited indefinitely in pain.
