Chapter 8- The Trap
In Fawful's lair, Fawful was building something when Midbus came in.
"Boss, what are you doing?" he asked
"I'm creating cages for the Viperwolves"
"Cages?"
"Yes. See, they are bite-proof and each cage can annul the Viperwolves abilities"
"So, you're going to capture them?"
"Yes. Speaking of which, did you find anything?"
"Well, yes. There is a spell that extracts powers from living things, but-"
"Excellent! Then gather the ingredients and prepare it while I capture the Viperwolves!"
"But there's something-"
"Tell me later! Now I must capture some Viperwolves!"
Fawful then left, taking a large cart with various cages in it.
"And how will you capture the Viperwolves?" Midbus asked
"I sent a mind controlling spirit to posses the leader of the Viperwolves so that they will turn on each other. Then, the spirit will go out of the leader's body and separate the Viperwolves so that I may capture them ONE BY ONE!" Fawful answered as he placed the cages on his ship
"And the Koopa Royal Family?"
"Sorry for them, they will remain petless. HAHAHA!"
Then Fawful left
XOXOXOXOXO
The mind possessing spirit arrived at the Koopa castle and looked around for the "black viperwolf" that it was supposed to posses. However, he didn't find black Viperwolf. Only a yellow Viperwolf, a red, a purple… until he finally found his target: Demon was lying asleep on Bowser's bed. The spirit immediately went inside his body, Demon suddenly woke up and growled and struggled violently on the floor. After h calmed down, Demon's eyes became pure white and the spirit, now in Demon's body, grinned. He went out of the room and wandered around the castle. He saw Nava, Kamek, the koopalings and their Viperwolves were in the living room. Almost immediately, Demon attacked Nava by biting his jugular.
"What? Demon, what are you doing?" Ludwig asked him shocked
A horrified Nava just avoided attacks from Demon, not wanting to fight his leader. However, after Demon injured his leg, Nava had to defend himself by biting Demon's leg and sending him flying. Demon just bared his teeth and attacked Nava once again. The others were horrified, the Viperpups just stood there, not knowing what to do. They didn't want to attack their father, but… apparently there was no other choice. Corey and Fox charged at their father.
Meanwhile, Iggy and Shawn were outside in the garden looking at the sky. They were thinking on some ideas for inventions. Suddenly, Jule and Morton came.
"Iggy! Shawn! You have to come inside, NOW!" Morton told them
"Why?" Iggy asked
"Demon's gone mad! He started attacking everyone inside!"
"What? Why?"
"I don't know!"
"Let's go!"
Iggy, Morton, Shawn and Jule ran back inside. However, when they got back inside, Demon was already in the ground, rubbing his head with his paw. Bowser had arrived.
"What the heck is happening?" he asked angrily
"Demon suddenly attacked Nava, but now he apparently doesn't remember it…" Lemmy explained
"What?"
Suddenly, the same possessing spirit appeared and started spinning around the Koopas and after a while, they all disappeared.
Just then, Junior and DJ came down, having heard the noise and wanting to tell their families to be quiet, but… they weren't there anymore.
"Where do you think they went?" Junior asked his Viperwolf
DJ just tilted his head to one side.
*Ludwig and Corey*
When Ludwig woke up, he felt very cold… he thought maybe Corey had used his ice powers again… but it was not until his vision cleared that he saw there was snow everywhere and pine trees. Corey was lying next to him; he woke up and stretched himself.
"We must be in Snow Land…" Ludwig whispered
Suddenly, Corey smelled something and ran to a random direction
"Corey, come back!"
Ludwig went after him. After a while, he stopped. Corey had caught the sight of a piece of meat, and he was very hungry.
"Wait a minute… a piece of meat in the middle of nothing… isn't that weird?" Ludwig asked Corey
But animal instincts were too strong to be ignored, and Corey ended up going forward and grabbing the piece of meat. But suddenly, a door closed behind him and a cage became visible. Corey howled and barked to Ludwig for help. "
"COREY!" Ludwig yelled as he tried to open the cage, but an electric shock ran through his body. The cage was lifted up in a ship that suddenly flew away with Corey inside the cage, leaving a horrified Ludwig behind.
*Lemmy and Willy*
Lemmy woke up in soft grass, some trees were visible in the distance and the sun was bright. Willy opened his eyes and peered up his ears.
They were in Grass Land, but how had they gotten there…?
"I don't remember anything… oh, that's right… Demon suddenly had attacked Nava and…"
Willy sniffed the air and looked around; he wagged his tail and ran to a piece of meat he found nearby. However, at the moment he took it, a cage appeared and its door closer shut. Lemmy horrified tried to get to it, but the cage was lift up by a ship that became visible and took it away.
*Roy and Fox*
Roy woke up and stretched himself, his back hurt. He realized he was in a rock, and when he looked around, there were only clouds and mountains, so he guessed he must be at Mountain Land… Fox wasn't there.
"Where will he be? I'd better look for him" Roy thought to himself as he stood up and wandered around, trying to find his Viperwolf. After a while, he found something… a tuft of red fur in the ground that suddenly flew with the wind. Suddenly, he heard a desperate howl and growl and looked around. When Roy ran towards the noise, it was too late: Fox was being taken away in a cage that was carried by a ship
"FOX!"
*Iggy and Shawn*
Iggy woke up when he felt his face humid. When he opened his eyes, he realized Shawn was licking his face in an attempt to wake him up.
"Shawn… it's okay… you can stop licking at me…" Iggy said
Shawn stopped licking at his master and sat down… there was sand everywhere and the heat was unbearable.
"Desert Land…? How did we…?"
Shawn suddenly peered up his ears and sniffed the air. He ran in towards a dune, there was a piece of meat waiting for him there…
"Shawn, wait a minute… it's weird that there's a piece of meat in the middle of a desert, don't you think?"
Shawn, however, didn't listen and charged towards the piece of meat. The gate of an invisible cage closed, and the cage appeared. Shawn desperately tried to get out, Iggy tried to help him just to receive an electric shock
"SHAWN!"
The cage was taken away by a ship
*Wendy and Sheryl*
Wendy woke up and felt something soft under her… what it was… a cloud? When her vision cleared, effectively, it was a cloud. She must be in Sky land. Sheryl peered up her ears and opened her eyes before standing up and looking around. How had they gotten there, who knows… what they knew was that they had to go back to the castle. Sheryl suddenly caught the smell of something and ran towards a cloud. But a cage appeared and she was caught inside. The ship that took the cage left.
"NO, SHERYL!" Wendy cried
*Morton and Jule*
Jule woke up and peered up his ears… he definitely was not in the castle anymore. There were trees everywhere and purple water… was this Forest Land…? Morton eventually woke up, and looked as confused as Jule. There was a piece of meat nearby, Jule's nose caught the smell and led him to the place where it was. However, a door closer and a cage appeared. Morton couldn't get to the cage in time, and a ship took it away.
"Oh, no… JULE!" Morton cried desperate
*Larry and Bites*
A breeze could be felt and the sound of the waves crashing against the soft sand of the beach could be heard. Larry opened his eyes and looked around, discovering he was in Sea Land. Bites was next to him, yawning and stretching himself. Suddenly, he caught the sight of something… a piece of meat! Bites couldn't help it and almost immediately charged towards the piece of meat. But at the time he grabbed it, a cage appeared and a door closed behind. Larry tried unsuccessfully to help his Viperwolf. A ship carried the cage away, Bites was howling in terror.
*back at the castle*
Junior and DJ were in the living room, watching T.V. Where was everyone? Suddenly, Kamek appeared in a puff of smoke.
"Hey, Kamek. Do you know where is everyone?" Junior asked him
"They're not here…?"
"No, it's as if they had disappeared.
"Well, that's weird… the Viperwolves are not here neither…"
"They aren't neither… what the heck is going on here?"
DJ, however, was not paying attention. He looked at the window, he felt as if something bad had happened.
