I'm so sorry I haven't updated in a while! There are just so many distractions in this world!
Anyway, to:
T-FighterX9: I do not even watch Ninjago and the cave of despair wasn't the reference. I'm glad you like the story so much.
Ice wolf: I'M GLAD YOU'RE HAPPY! I also read that 2 HERO, it's a bit rushed but really good. For some reason it would not let me review.
Iceshadow911247: It's spelled: Notre Dame. Buck… not much more to say about him is there? We did that to my cousin on her 8th birthday. She was all like: "Please don't be another box! Oh goody… another box. It was so funny!
Hearty Star: Sheen is my favorite character! I ironically don't like Planet Sheen for some reason…
Cat Anykay: It's cool. I love writing for him and Shoo I just threw in there. Didn't plan him or anything.
Oh key, this chapter was fun for me to write, just because of what happens.
At East Citadel…
Bearstomp and Chameleon Queen (the only animals left at East Citadel besides the Zebra Brothers.) sat tiredly in the throne room. The Chameleon Tank army came running back, and they were still too scared to tell anyone what had happened.
Bearstomp and a couple other bears were playing cards while Chameleon Queen was starting to doze off.
The door burst open and black smoked poured into the room. Bearstomp and Chameleon Queen stood up.
"It seems empty Master Fang. How will Mystique Sonia and Shen-Song know about this?" The whisper voice soldier asked.
"Silence you incompetent buffoon!" Fang hissed at the soldier and stepped toward the two animal monarchies.
"You're majesties; I would like to assume you know the where about of Highroller and the two stripped but kissers?" Fang questioned
Chameleon Queen and Bearstomp exchanged glances. Something about this strange human before them didn't seem right. Of course, they never trusted humans before but this one, he didn't seem to be all right in the head.
Both animals shook their heads. Fang frowned
"So, what you two are saying is, you don't know where they are?" Fang asked
Chameleon Queen and Bearstomp nodded to confirm his question.
"Ok. Then do you know the where about of the group of heroes called First Squad and Second Squad?" Fang questioned more angrily.
The two animals shook their head. They were starting to become uneasy.
"Then let me ask a more specific question. Do you know where Mystique Sonia and a little 12 year old boy are?" Fang asked angrily.
The two shook their heads.
Bearstomp pointed to the door, indicating that he believed this man should leave.
"IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE INFORMATION I NEED, THEN WHAT USE ARE YOU TOO ANYONE!" Fang roared as he stormed out of the room, but stopped short when he came to the soldier with the whisper voice.
"Lock them in and burn East Citadel down." Fang said. Bearstomp and Chameleon Queen's eyes widen in shock and fear.
"But, my king, what about the animals?" The whisper voice soldier asked. The Chameleon Queen and Bearstomp began to sneak away with the other bears and chameleons.
"What part of "Lock them in" don't you understand? Or, do you honestly understand, and just don't want to follow through with this?" Fang asked menacingly.
The soldier shook his head, and followed him outside.
Unknown to both of them, all the animals had gotten out of East Citadel safely through an unusually large window and were sneaking into the forest outside of East Citadel. Dreading the moment, when Highroller returns.
In the Court of Wonders…
Shoo, who was still trying to make the worm dance, stiffened. He stood up suddenly and began to look around.
"Is there a problem, Shoo?" Lin Chung asked
"Which ones of you's are from East Citadel?" Shoo asked
Highroller and the Zebra Brothers raised their hands while everyone else just pointed to them.
"Fang has attacked East Citadel and is going to burn it to the ground." Shoo said
"WHAT!" Highroller and the Zebra Brothers shouted while everyone else just looked shocked.
"How do you know?" Muscle Lee asked
"I just had a vision." Shoo explained.
"A vision. Shoo, when exactly did you lose your mind?" Mighty Ray asked
"Around the 16 month anniversary of when I was sent to live in the Cave of Despair." Shoo explained happily.
"16 month?" Archer Lee questioned.
"Yes! I woke up one morning and I was married to the ugliest rock alive. But I love her." Fang sighed happily. While he said that: Kow-Loon, Mystique Sonia, and Shen-Song banged their heads against a wall.
"We need to stop him! Even if it means saving Highroller's East Citadel." Mr. NoHands said.
"How… get… to… East… Citadel?" Jumpy asked
"That's right. Both the turtles and chameleons ran off when Fang made his debut. How are we gonna get there?" Alpha Girl asked
"I think I have a solution." Wu-Shoo said as he led 8 white horses with golden mains and tails onto the stage.
"We can use these?" Sonia asked
"Of course. They haven't been above ground in awhile, plus, they know their way around Hidden Kingdom better than any animal. Just say where you want to go, and they'll get you there fast." Wu-Shoo said.
Sonia and Lin Chung mounted one horse, Shen-Song and Mighty Ray on another, Jumpy and Goldeneye on one, Mr. NoHands and Alpha Girl on one, The Zebra Brothers on one, Archer Lee and Muscle Lee on one, Kow-Loon and Shoo on one, and Highroller had his own horse.
"Be careful. Fang's powers as grown over the past 12 years. He will be a big challenge. But, we know that 12 out of 15 of you will win this battle." Wu-Shoo said
"Why do I get the feeling that he think that we're the 3% that can't?" Sparky Black asked Highroller and his brother. They both shrugged and frowned.
"Good Luck to all of you!" Wu-Shoo said shaking his brother's hand.
"To East Citadel." Shen-Song said. The horses took off leaving a trail of white light behind them. "They're going to need it." Wu-Shoo said once they were out of sight.
Nearby, East Citadel…
"How much damage do you think he's done?" Alpha Girl asked the others.
"I don't know. I'm hoping that none of my animal armies are hurt. I still need some to be able to kick your butts once all of this is over!" Highroller shouted.
"It's good to see your priorities are in order." Mighty Ray said sarcastically.
"Look!" Jumpy shouted.
Bearstomp and Chameleon Queen were standing at the end of the path.
"Bearstomp, Chameleon Queen! What are you—oh." Highroller's jaw dropped as he saw all of East Citadel in flames. Not regular flames, purple and black flames.
"Oh wow. I knew Fang was crazy about you, Sonia… but not this crazy." Kow-Loon remarked.
"I don't get it." Sparky White said
"Love makes you do all sorts of crazy and weird things." Shen-Song explained. His eyes still focused on the burning city. He knew as much as everyone that there was nothing they could do.
"I love everything!" Shoo remarked happily.
"That explains a lot." Sonia said dryly.
"It beautiful, isn't it?" A voice called down to them.
They all looked up to see Fang floating high above them.
"No! No it's not!" Sonia shouted to him.
"I figured since you don't like East Citadel-"Fang started.
"I don't like East Citadel, true. But that doesn't mean it deserves to burn to the ground!"Sonia cried.
"But, I did this all for you." Fang pouted.
"Are you seriously that insane?" Shoo shouted.
"Are you seriously that hypocritical?" Highroller asked Shoo.
"If you do not except me-"Fang started.
"Except you? I probably speak for everyone when I say: I wish I had never even met you!" Sonia cried.
"So be it." With that, Fang flew off behind them, away from East Citadel, which was know ashes.
"Where could he be going?" Kow-Loon wondered out loud.
There was a moment of silence. Then, everyone's eyes widened.
"He's heading to Big Green!" Everyone, who could speak human, cried as the horses took off behind Fang.
Unfortunately, for them, the trap had been sprung.
I hope this makes up for my absence.
