Hey, sorry I've been away so long; I was mucking about at a friend's sleepover! The reason this says group 1, I won't spoil, but I'll just say it's FORESHADOWING!
Group 1
Of course the other Muppets followed Kermit; he was their leader and their hero. They weren't going to leave him on his own!
Kermit started off striding confidently, but after a few minutes, after he'd calmed down, he slowed down considerably.
"Kermie?" Miss Piggy said approaching him. "I just wanted to say, that I thought you were very brave back there, telling Ms Umbreai what's what."
"Thanks, Piggy," Kermit replied. "I can't quite believe I've done it!"
He looked around. The lights had gone off again, so apart from the relics (which appeared to be following them) there didn't seem to be anything around
"What have I done? I've let you down, I'm sorry."
"Don't be nuts, Kermit," Fozzie said. "You haven't let us down! I can't blame you for losing your temper."
"She upset Robin," Scooter said. "I'm not having that."
Robin was still perched on Kermit's shoulders, but he was now fast asleep.
Kermit looked up at his little nephew and smiled. "Yeah, I can't usually stick up for myself, but I can stick up for my friends and Robin is…well…the closest thing I've ever had to a son."
Everybody awwed.
Until Gonzo front-flipped over (a trick he learned from Kermit) and said: "Uhh, Kermit? I think we've kind of got a problem on our hands…and his name's Animal."
Animal was raging around, loudly. His shoulder collided with the podium on which Robin's statue sat. The statue tipped and fell but Kermit made a dive for it and clasped the relic in his hands.
"Got it!" he cried.
The real Robin tumbled off his uncle's shoulders but he fell to the ground reasonably unhurt. (However having a cruel wake-up call)
"Floyd! Can't you keep a hold of him?!" Kermit shouted.
"Sorry, man," Floyd said. "He's out of control!"
"We can see that!" Walter snapped back diving for another relic.
Soon, all the Muppets were leaping forward to literally pick up the pieces that Animal was knocking over.
But then, the worst happened.
Walter's statue tipped and fell, but there was no-one there to catch it.
"Walter!" Kermit cried.
"Huh?"
Walter whipped round just in time to see his statue crash to the ground.
The right arm snapped straight off.
"No!"
This was the last word Walter said before he vanished without a trace.
Kermit had tears in his eyes. He'd only known Walter a short time, but he was one of the family now.
Well…he was.
Nimweh wasn't here to bring anyone back now.
But suddenly, Walter reappeared!
Kermit blinked, not believing what had happened right in front of his eyes.
"Walter?" Kermit whispered, approaching him gingerly.
But there was no denying that Walter was definitely lying on the ground in front of them.
Walter groaned and sat up, rubbing his face with his left hand.
"Where am I?" he murmured.
He looked around, then down at himself.
Walter let out a blood-curdling scream.
His right arm had been completely blown away and it was very bloody.
Walter fainted dead away.
"I think it's obvious what happened," Dr Bunsen declared.
He was one of the many peering anxiously at the unconscious Walter lying on the ground.
"The whole statue didn't break completely, only the arm snapped off, so Walter here has only lost an arm."
"Makes perfect sense," Dr Strangepork agreed nodding.
As Walter awoke for the second time, before he'd even opened his eyes, he whispered something.
"Gary? Gary!"
"No," Kermit said. "Gary's not here. It's just…us."
"Kermit?" Walter opened his eyes properly. "What happened?"
"I think you fainted," Scooter said.
"We thought you dead!" Gonzo announced a little too cheerfully.
"I guess it was kind of a shock," Scooter said. "When you found out about…you know what."
Walter remembered about his severed arm. He gasped but didn't faint again.
"There's a lot of blood," he said uncertainly.
He peered around at the others, his face very pale and grave.
"Uncle Kermit," Robin said. "Is Walter going to die?"
It was as if he'd just spoken everyone's mind. Walter felt his vision blur with tears.
Kermit himself was trembling; he put his arm around Robin.
"I hope not," he said.
Walter's eyes widened.
"What am I going to do?" he whimpered.
No-one had an answer to that.
Woah, eerie.
