Chapter Sixteen

Let's Fight Some Bad Guys!

They had been blindfolded. Biff, Kim, Puggsy, and Fangface (still unconscious, it seemed) had been blindfolded, to they wouldn't know where Ed and the Tony-Wolf were taking them. They drove in Biff's dad car, with Ed driving, Biff and Kim in the middle backseat, and Puggsy and Fangface in the far backseat, guarded by Tony.

Steve, meanwhile, drove behind them in the convertible they had before. He had faked- well, half-faked- his delusional scene in order to lead the kids to the forest, as Ed predicted they would do. Once he knew they were there, he called Ed, who sent Tony to fetch Kim, making the other three pursue him... right into Ed's hands.

What they didn't know was that Fangface had regained consciousness before they got in the car...

Before they got in the car... the Internet still hasn't been invented.

"Uh... what happened? (grr)" Fangface groaned, rubbing his head.

"Shh, keep quiet," Puggsy whispered to him, dragging the werewolf along. Luckily, neither Ed nor Tony heard them.

"Pugs? Hey, why are you dragging me? (snarl) And what's going on?"

Puggsy clapped his hand over Fangface's mouth. "I said keep quiet! ...Quick, pretend you're still unconscious."

"Un-what?"

"Just close your eyes and let me carry you." Fangface shrugged, but did as he was told. Puggsy whispered in his ear, "Listen, if those goons find out you're awake, they'll try to hurt Kim."

"(grr!) Why those rotten-"

"Calm down, I have a plan..."

Puggsy tilted his head back, sighing deeply, pretending to be bored. Tony growled at him, and Fangface clenched his jaw, overcoming the urge to attack the evil werewolf.

Puggsy, meanwhile, was looking through the bottom of the blindfold, through the thin gap between his eyes and the cloth that was tied around them, seeing out the window to look to see where they were going.

Finally, the car stopped, and the three teens and [good] werewolf were taken into an old apartment building located across the neighborhood. Once they were in a dark room, their blindfolds were removed.

"Well, well, well, look who's back!" A too-familiar voice said. Puggsy looked over, noticing Snake and a few remaining gang members stepping out of the shadows.

"Oh, joy, as if things couldn't get better." Puggsy scoffed.

"You should be thanking them, boy," Ed said, smiling evilly. "They helped our friend Steve find out where to find you."

"Ain't so hard to follow a short punk and his friends..." Snake then looked over at Kim, then grinned and strolled over to her, smoothly. "And speaking of which, who's your pretty friend, Puggsy?"

"Get away from me, you creep!" Kim snapped, stomping on Snake's foot.

"Yee-ouch!" Snake grabbed his stomped foot in one hand, rubbing away the pain all the while hopping on the other. The other gang members laughed. He stopped hopping and turned fiercely to them. "SHUT UP!" They stopped laughing.

"Aw, c'mon, Snake, don't you have a sense of humor?" Puggsy teased.

Snake glared at him. "Yeah, I have a sense of physical humor-" he punched Puggsy in the gut, making the teen fall to his knees, clutching his stomach. "See? I find that funny."

"Snake, since you seem to be enjoying yourself, you can stay and watch your foul-boxing friend and his 'pet'," Ed said. "Tony, you keep watch outside, make sure no one comes near the building." The Tony-wolf nodded and walked out. "Steve, take the other boy into the next room and tie him up." Steve grabbed Biff, holding his hands behind his back and shoving him out. Ed then grabbed Kim. "And you come with me. I'll need you to 'contact' your parents." He dragged Kim out, leaving Snake and the gang members with Puggsy and Fangface.

"The rest of the gang didn't show up, Puggsy," Snake approached him, clenching and unclenching his fists. "You wouldn't know the reason, would you?"

"Maybe they've finally became embrightened and decided to scramify before you got them murdified for their criminalized life." Puggsy responded, glaring up at Snake.

Snake punched him across the face, sending him sprawling on his back. "Don't make me hurt you more, Puggsy... I wouldn't want to hog all the fun." he turned to the gang members. "Right boys?"

The other gang members grinned, approaching Puggsy, ready to pulverize him. Fangface peeked open one eye and growled, but Puggsy, next to him, shushed him. "Not yet," he whispered.

He let the gang members jump him, punching and scratching him once again. Snake stood against the wall, enjoying the scene. When the gang leader saw that he wasn't moving anymore, he snapped his fingers. "That's enough boys." he walked over and kicked Puggsy in the side, but didn't get a response.

"Is he dead?" One of the gang members, Toby, asked.

"Nah, he's still breathing. C'mon, we'll pummel him more when he comes to."

"Why don't we just kill him now?"

"Because I want him to suffer... to feel pain. You know, die slowly. That's the worst way to kill 'em."

The gang members murmured in agreement. "So, what do we do now?" Benny, another member, asked.

"Why don't you guys go look for the others and see if they want to join in on the fun? See what they're up to... and why they didn't show up earlier."

"What about the werewolf?" Benny looked worriedly at Fangface. "What if he waked up?"

Snake patted his back pocket, where he kept his gun. "I'll handle him."

"But... doesn't Ed want him alive?" Another member, Kyle, asked.

"Why would he? He's already got a werewolf already. Now, scram, guys! Daylight will be hitting, soon." He turned to another gang-member. "Although, Ferris, you can use that one trick on the furball later, and really make Puggsy suffer."

Ferris grinned. "Sure, boss."

"Now, go scout around guys. I'll get ya when the runt or wolf wakes up,"

The gang members left the room, closing the door behind Snake. The moment couldn't have been more perfect. "Fangface, NOW!" Puggsy yelled, jumping to his feet and punching Snake with his 'deadly-right' hook.

Fangface lunged at Snake, spinning him around in the air and slamming him to the ground, while Puggsy locked the door.

The plan was simple: Puggsy figured Snake would be at the hideout, so he had Fangface lie still and pretend to be knocked out until they got either the gang leader, Ed, or Tony alone. He was happy it was Snake.

The rest of the gang members heard the commotion and pounded on the door. Puggsy opened a closet, then grabbed a sheet that covered a chair, and used it to tie a very dazed and beaten Snake up. He and Fangface then threw the gang leader into the closet.

"Nice job, Fangface." Puggsy said, shaking Fangface's hand.

"(grr) No problem, Pugs." Fangface replied.

"HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON IN THERE?" Toby shouted, banging his fists on the door.

"We'd... better hide." Puggsy said, bluntly.

"(snarl) But how, Pugs?" Fangface asked. "There's nowhere to hide! (grr)"

Puggsy thought about it, seeing a window. "Hmm..."

A minute later, the gang members broke down the door, looking around to see what the heck happened. "What the heck happened?" Benny asked, seeing the room empty. "Where'd they go?"

"Out the window!" Kyle gasped, pointing over at a window that was open. He looked out of it. "Oh, man, they must've escaped!"

"Well, c'mon! We'd better catch 'em!" Toby yelled.

"Hey, get me outta here!" Snake yelled from inside of the closet. Benny walked over and opened the closet door, seeing that Snake had a black eye and was tied up.

"Whoa, Snake! What happened to you?" Benny gasped. "And... why are you in the closet?"

"Just untie me!" Benny did so, and Snake trudged out of the closet. "C'mon, let's find that sneaky little runt, and that werewolf, too!" he took out his gun, running out of the room, followed by the gang members.

...Unaware that Fangface hung by his claws on the ceiling, while Puggsy held on to his back. "They're gone, Puggsy!" Fangface exclaimed, letting out a 'chk chk' sounded snicker.

"Yeah, those ignorpotomases sure are easy to trickify," Puggsy said with a grin. "Now, lets get down and go help Biff and Kim."

"Right!" Fangface retracted his claws...

*THUD!*

...And he fell flat on his back onto the floor- well, onto Puggsy, actually. "Am I the only one getting hurt around here?" his muffled voice snapped.

"Whoops, sorry Pugs!" Fangface stood up, peeling a flattened Puggsy up from the ground and waved him, making him pop back into an unflattened shape. "Sorry! Ooh, so sorry! (grr)" he then gave the teenager a peck on the cheek in apology (a/n: not in a slashy way, mind you!)

"Yeuck!" Puggsy wiped his cheek. "Never do that again! Now, c'mon."

They walked out of the room to search for Biff and Kim.

Biff was tied to a chair across the room. Steve stood by the door, a toothpick in his mouth, watching the teenager. "What are you looking at?" the man asked, sneering when he noticed that Biff was looking back at him.

Biff turned away from him, scowling. That's when he had developed another light-bulb-over-the-head plan. Looking around the room, he noticed that a whole bunch of junk was sitting against the walls, loosely stacked in a manner that could cause one thing to fall against another in a Rube Goldberg pattern.

...And it all seemed like it could begin by pushing over a long, lead pipe that was leaning against the wall next to Biff. If he were to knock it over, it would hit a large cardboard box that was sitting on the edge of a stack of other boxes, which would fall onto one end of a board that was lying on a paint can in a see-saw matter, which would send the other end flying up and launching an old bucket through the air, where it would hit a lamp, knocking it over against a large plank of wood which would hit a shelf full of books, making them fall in a domino fashion and push a bowling ball that was next to them off and onto Steve's head.

Hopefully.

Here goes nothing. Biff thought, kicking the lead pipe over, and everything went into effect perfectly. Steve watched in surprise as all the junk began to fall over. When the plank hit the shelf and the books fell against the bowling ball and sent it over, the man looked up, watching the bowling ball drop...

...Right on his foot. "Yeeeooow!" Steve yelled, grabbing his flattened foot and rubbing it. He glowered at Biff. "You're going to pay for tha-"

*BAM!*

The door slammed open, smashing Steve against the wall, and Fangface and Puggsy stood in the doorway. "Hey! (grr) What was with all the ruckus?" Fangface asked.

"Guys! Man, am I glad to see you!" Biff exclaimed. "Quick, untie me before he regains consciousness!"

"Before who regainifies consciousness?" Puggsy asked, then heard a moan from behind the door and pulled it shut a little, seeing Steve knocked out. "Oh..."

They untied Biff and ran out into the hall. Now it was time to save Kim. "I hope she's alright,"

"Me too,"

"(snarl) Me three! Why, if those goons even laid a hand on her... (grr!)" Fangface snarled, shadow-boxing. "I'll give 'em a left! (snarl!) Then I'll give 'em a right! (grr!) Then I'll hurt 'em! I'll- Ooh, ooh!" Fangface paused, seeing a newspaper on the floor with a weather headline: 'Sunny, 30% chance of rain,' and when he saw the small sun on the newsprint... well, you know what happens.

Spinning like a top, Fangs got back into the picture. "Ooh, ooh! What happened? Where are we?" he asked.

"Quiet down, meathead!" Puggsy snapped at him, covering his mouth. "We've got to save Kim!"

"Kim? What's going on? Did the bad guys catch her?"

"Yeah, and we've got to find her and catch them!" Biff said. "C'mon, we'd better start looking."

With Biff in the lead, they began walking down the hallway, Fangs bringing up the rear... and unsuspectingly being pulled into a dark room. "Hey-" he tried to call out, but a hand clapped over his mouth, muffling his scream.

"Relax, wolf-boy," A sinister voice said. Fangs tried to see who it was, but the room was too dark. "I'm just going to do a trick." The figure pulled Fangs over to a chair, pushing him into it and quickly tying his hands together.

"H-Hey! What's going on? Who's there? Biff! Puggsy! Help! Someone's-" A gag was pulled over his mouth, silencing him. A light came on, shining on him but leaving the rest of the room dark.

All he could see was a golden pocket watch slowly swinging back and forth. "Concentrate on the watch, kid. I'll need your cooperation... otherwise it'll be your throat!"

Fangs gulped and nodded, doing as he was told. He's going to hypnotize me! he realized, but decided to cooperate for the sake of his own life. He watched it swing back and forth... back and forth... until his eyes started to grow heavy. That's when the figure spoke again.

"Now, listen kid... When you turn back into a werewolf, you will have a craving, and every time you see food, or even hear any food words, you will eat that short, ugly runt, Puggsy. You'll trap him inside your mouth and-"

"Hold on a second!" Fangs snapped out of it, spitting out the gag. "How come you think I'm a werewolf? And why do you want me to eat my friend? What kind of sick trick is this, huh?"

"Shut up! I told you to cooperate!"

"How can I cooperate if you're talking crazy?" The figure stepped into the light. He was a kid with spiky brown hair wearing a jean jacket, and he grabbed Fangs by the throat and swung the watch in front of him, forcing him to concentrate.

"Listen, when I snap my fingers, you will do what I just told you to do... only when you become a werewolf!"

"But I'm not a- GACK!" His hand tightened around his throat. "O-k-kay..."

"Good," The teen snapped his fingers. "That'll teach Puggsy not to mess with me."

"Excusify me..." A familiar voice said. The kid turned around-

*WHAM!*

-and was sent flying back, going unconscious after getting hit by Puggsy's right fist. "Don't mess with my pal again, you ignorpotomas." Puggsy said, sneering at the gang member on the ground. He walked over and untied Fangs. He had noticed, back in the hall, that Fangs wasn't with him when things got a little quiet.

"Who was that kid?" Fangs asked.

"Just one of Snake's lackies, Ferris. Snake would always leave him behind to keep a watch on things... Speaking of 'watch', what was he trying to hypnotize you into doing?"

"Something nutty. He thought I was a werewolf, and tried to hypnotize me into eating you! Pretty ridiculous, huh?"

Puggsy cringed a little. "Yeah, sure is. ...It didn't work, did it?"

"Nope... Well, actually, my mind went a little blank when he was talking, but I snapped out of it when I heard what he wanted me to do." Fangs shuddered. "Yeck, he has a pretty gross mind. I don't think I could handle eating my best friend."

Puggsy stared at Fangs, arching an eyebrow. "You... think I'm your best friend?"

"Why not? You- along with Biff and Kim- are the only one who has hung out with me for this long. That, and you pretty much saved my life."

He shrugged. "Eh, I just owed it to you."

"Owed it to me? For what?"

"Um... never mind. Right now, we've got to catch up with Biff."

They ran out into the hall, seeing Biff looking through a key-hole. "Kim's in there," he whispered. Fangs and Puggsy knelt down beside him, trying to see through the keyhole as well. All three of them ended up having to take turns looking in. Luckily, they could hear the conversation clearly.

"You'd better hope someone picks up the phone, young lady," Ed said, holding a phone up to his ear and tapping his foot impatiently. "C'mon... c'mon... Aha! Finally! Yes, I'd like to speak to- Argh! Stupid answering machine!" he slammed the phone back onto the receiver.

"I told you, my parents left to pick me up at the train station..." Kim said. "Of course, they're probably out looking for me now, since I'm not there."

"Then we'll just try again later." Ed sat back in his chair. "I'm sure your parents will be arriving home, expecting a phone call about their precious little girl..."

Suddenly, there were footsteps coming from down the hall. "Someone's coming!" Biff whispered. "Hide!" He ran across the hall and hid in a closet.

Puggsy ducked behind an overstuffed chair sitting in the hallway, while Fangs- panicking on how to hide himself- quickly grabbed a lampshade off of a nearby lamp and pulled over his head, then stood straight and stiff next to the chair, posing as a lamp.

Snake, Benny, and Kyle came down the hall and burst into Ed's room. "They've escaped!" Benny cried out.

"WHAT?" Ed boomed, standing up and slamming his hands on his desk. "How could you let those morons out of your sight?"

"It wasn't our fault!" Snake snapped. "That dumb runt set us up! We've searched out back, but there's no trace of them."

"They might still be in the building. Go look for them!" The gang of kids ran down the hall. Ed turned to Kim. "Stay here, if you want to see your friends again." He then shut the door and locked it, and went to help the boys with their search.

"Gosh, this hallway's dark." Benny said, pausing and looking around as the others continued on. "Maybe it'll be easier to find them if we turned on a few lights." He walked over to the lamp (aka Fangs) and pulled on the little chain.

"Uh, click?" Fangs said, nervously.

Benny snapped his fingers in frustration. "Dang it! The light bulb must've burned out." He began walking down the hall, until his intelligence kicked in. "Hey, wait a minu-" he stormed back over to the lamp, but once he was close enough, Puggsy grabbed him from behind and pulled him behind the chair.

*Whack! Pow! Bam!*

Benny then stumbled out from behind the chair, with two black eyes, seeing little stars fly around his head. "Hey... The milky way!" he said loopily, before falling to the ground, unconscious.

Puggsy and Biff came out of their hiding spots as Fangs took off the lampshade. "Boy, that's the last time I pose as a piece of furniture!" he said.

They walked over to the door, twisting the knob. "Locked." Puggsy muttered. "Now what?"

"Guess we'll need Fangface to help us." Biff said.

"I was afraid you were going to say that."

"Fangface?" Fangs questioned. "What are you talking about?"

"Nothing, just look out that window at the moon." Puggsy pointed to a nearby window.

"Why?"

"Just do it!"

"Okay! Okay! Sheesh!" Fangs looked out the window, but shrugged. "It's blocked by a bunch of clouds. I can't see it."

"Ah, great! Now what?"

"Now... You kids are going to get it!" A gruff voice said behind them. They turned around and saw Steve, with a large black eye. Before they could to anything, he ran down and lunged, trapping Puggsy in a headlock. Biff tried to get the man off him, but the man kicked him in the gut and slammed him into the wall.

Fangs watched it all in horror, but for some reason, his fear disappeared, being replaced with rage. "Hey! (grr!) Leave them alone!" he snarled, running up and pushing the man against the wall, making him let go of Puggsy.

"Oof! ...Why you- Ack!" Fangs grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him, throwing him into the closet, then pushing the chair up against the door, trapping him inside. "Hey! Let me out!" Steve banged on the door.

"Whoa, Fangs!" Puggsy gasped. "I didn't think you had it in you!"

Fangs paused, his eyes widening with shock. "Neither did I! ...I-I don't know what came over me. ...But how come I went: (grr)? Huh, how come I did that?"

He shrugged. "Maybe you're actually a werewolf."

Fangs scoffed. "Very funny, Pugs."

Suddenly, the door across the hall opened, and Kim walked out. "Guys! You're okay!" She exclaimed, running up and hugging the boys.

"Kim! How did you get out?" Biff asked. "The door was locked."

"I heard you guys out here. It sounded like you were in a fight..." she looked down at Benny, still unconscious. "...And I guess you were. I wanted to make sure you were okay, so I picked the lock." She held up a bobby-pin.

Puggsy slapped his forehead. "The ol' bobby-pin picklock trick." he said, trying to hide his awe. "Why didn't I think of that?"

"Yeah, Pugs. Why didn't you think of that?" Fangs asked. Puggsy slapped him upside the head with his hat. "Ooh! You know, I'm starting to wonder whether you're still my best friend..."

"C'mon, let's get out of here, before those goons come back." Kim said.

"Right. Let's go this way-" Biff said, running down one end of the hall, followed by the others... only to end up in the presence of the Tony-wolf.

"Leave it to Biff to pick the wrong path," Puggsy gulped.

A/N: Good news, it's not over yet! Bad news, it almost is :(

Review, please! ...But no flames.
