Chapter 6: Real Story
Flippy, injured by debits by the explosion, set off by Flipkane's grenade. He slowly edged to General Alana's house that was located near Lumpy's trailer house. Just moving his legs alone was as painful as someone had shot a nail into his leg with a nail gun. He used his mace to assist him walking to General Alana's house.
General Alana's house was like no other house Flippy saw before. Instead the traditional tree-like house like the others, her house was hexagon in shape; the walls were made of high grade steel although it looked like it was made of bamboo. Her roof was also hexagon in shape only it converged into a small flat floor space on the top, surrounded by a short fence and tall transmission tower-like antennas were on his small space.
Her house had two doors --- one for her vehicles and another smaller side door close to the larger one. The windows were laid in panels and there are a small panel of windows at the roof as well.
Flippy walked slowly to the side door and pressed the door bell button which was next to the door, but there were no response. He pressed again, again with no response. He pressed for the final time, this time, the door swung open and it was General Alana, the light blue fox but her hair was messed up and her eyes lids were at the verge of closing.
"What happened to you?" General Alana asked.
"The evils attacked me." Flippy replied.
General Alana pulled Flippy into the house and ordered her servant to serve Flippy a cup of warm tea while she helped Flippy's wound. Flippy drank his tea and felt the warmth of the tea began to radiating around his body. It was almost 17 degrees outside.
"It is done." General Alana announced.
"Thanks." Flippy said, "May I say in your house?"
"What?" General Alana was shocked to listened Flippy's request. No one, especially a male would stay in her "bunker" like house since she moved from her mountain command post to Happy Tree Town. She hesitated for a moment and gave her answer to Flippy, "Yes."
General Alana's servant showed the green bear to his room at the second floor of General Alana's house. His room was like no other. The floor was coated with a finest silk; a huge painting of General Nora was hanging on top, a small golden table along with a fully functional bathroom with 5 star standards.
Is this a dream? Flippy mumbled to himself as he gazed around the room. He put his mace on the golden table and turned around to see the painting of General Nora. Flippy felt he saw this person before, somewhere, but the war memories were locked at his evil side's head.
"How is your new room?" General Alana asked.
"It is very nice." Flippy replied, "What happened to your hand?"
General Alana's hands were trembling like a leaf like she was in a very cold environment.
"Just the temperature is a little bit cold." General Alana said.
"I know you are hiding something." Flippy protested.
"I already tell you, it is nothing."
"Just tell me."
General Alana sat on the bed, gazing at Flippy and the picture on top of her. Like there was a personal connection with her, like father and daughter.
'You see, General Nora was my father. He was a 5 star general and a genetic mutation scientist. After his retirement, he began to research on how to create the prefect soldier; there he created us, Flipkane and me. Unfortunately, Flipkane escaped to Vietnam when we are just teenagers and my father died by heavy metal poisoning. Before he died, he ordered to me to relocate Flipkane and locked him up forever. I found him during the Vietnam War, escaped 3 times before been brought back to the holding facility near Happy Tree Town.' General Alana explained.
Flippy was stunned to hear this. He never expected to learn that General Alana was Flipkane's 'sister', never, never. Flippy was speechless, he sat on the chair, his eyes glued to General Alana's………
