"And so, their journey to obtain the seven Power Medals began. I knew they were scared, but Snappy has more heart than anyone I've ever known. And Fluttershy had her motivation to get those seven Medals and return to her home.
I knew they were about to face the toughest challenge of their young life's. They would either succeed, and Snappy would redeem himself for his past mistake and get Fluttershy home safe and sound, or fail, and allow both himself and Fluttershy to bite the dust."
- At the coast -
It was now getting close to ten. Snappy and Fluttershy had spent the better part of the past forty minutes exploring the coastline just off Donald's Dock, all the while dodging out of sight whenever other Toons or a cog showed up. The rest of Toontown was still on the hunt for Snappy, and the cogs were no doubt on the lookout for Fluttershy. After all, Mildew had seen her in her current form. It wouldn't be too hard to supply the cogs with a physical description of her.
Fluttershy noticed that the coastline was relatively deserted the further away they got from Toontown. They only saw two Toons while looking for the Power Medal, and they were easily avoided.
"Must be our lucky day." Snappy said absent-mindedly, gazing down at the Medal-Detector-5000, which was currently pointing toward a tall hill and cliff that bordered the ocean with the forest surrounding Chip and Dales Acorn Acres.
Fluttershy wasn't concerned with their luck at that time, however. She was currently gazing out over the ocean, amazed by how well the waves sounded to her. She had noticed how much more attuned her hearing was before, but now more than ever, it was as if someone had stuck the world's most powerful magic hearing aid into her ears.
"I wonder how I'm able to hear so well. I can hear things happening from half a mile away." She wondered out loud, getting Snappy's attention. He looked up from the Detector and gazed around the area where it was pointing.
"I read and researched about that once. Cats naturally have better hearing then Ponies. They can hear things coming from almost twice as far." Snappy told her, looking back down at the Detector. "If I were to guess, I'd say Melody enhanced you're hearing on purpose so you could hear danger coming from further away, probably to compensate for taking you're wings away. I bet she enhanced you're sense of smell as well. Cats are very sensitive to many things Ponies aren't."
Fluttershy gave him an understanding expression. He was right. She had noticed her sense of smell was much stronger as well. The scent of the crystal-clear ocean and the not-so-far-away forest trees was a refreshing breath of fresh air to her. Granted, it was nothing new to her, but for some reason she couldn't explain even if she tried, they smelt very inviting and cheerful.
Also, maybe it was just her, but at that moment, something about the way the sun felt at that particular moment, along with the nice, gentle breeze, made her stop in her tracks behind Snappy, who had stopped to pull out his Shticker book and look at the map.
She stretched back and took in a deep breath, enjoying the smell of the clear ocean and trees and the feeling of the warm sun and the gentle breeze.
"A Pegasi could get used to this..." She thought to herself. Maybe being a Toon wasn't so bad after all.
...That is, until a most foul smell invaded her nose, making her gasp and recoil on the spot.
Snappy turned around to face her, looking confused.
"What is it?" He asked her, closing his Shticker book and putting it away as Fluttershy regained her composure. She had a disgusted look on her face.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I just smelt something awful just now." Fluttershy said, trying to identify the source of the smell. She could find only two words to describe what it was:
Big Business.
"Oil. The kind that fuels big machines." Snappy said quietly, who had just detected the smell himself. He suddenly had a serious look on his face. "Which means the cogs can't be far."
That was the last thing Fluttershy wanted to hear. In all honesty, she had seen enough of those foul cogs to last the rest of her life.
Snappy drew his cream pie cannon from his pack and held it ready in his right hand, his left still gripping the Medal-Detector-5000, which had started to beep lightly.
"We must be getting close." Snappy said to Fluttershy, as he quickly hurried off in the direction the device was pointing.
Fluttershy took a moment to look around the area, trying to pinpoint exactly where that foul smell of oil had come from. Failing that, she turned and quickly hurried off after Snappy.
The beeping from the Medal-Detector-5000 was getting faster by the second. They were closing in on it!
Snappy smiled widely, coming to a dead stop at a corner which led into a cave. Fluttershy came up behind him, looking slightly uncertain. She wasn't sure about exploring a dark cave without a source of light. Especially in a world she had never been to before.
The device was beeping very quickly, and pointing into the cave. They were getting closer to the medal.
"Just inside of that cave." Snappy said to Fluttershy, checking to make sure the device was pointing in the right direction, and not at the cliff above them. Nodding at the Detector, he turned to Fluttershy. "Ready?"
Fluttershy, however, remained in place, looking fearful.
"Um... I'm not very, um, fond of, uh, dark caves." Fluttershy stammered. She wasn't sure, but something about this cave told her not to go in, and that she would regret it if she did. After all, weren't dark caves in different worlds typically trouble?
Snappy just smiled at her.
"No need to worry, I've been to this cave before. There's nothing dangerous inside." He told her, stepping around the corner and into the cave.
She waited for a moment, listening for any sign of trouble.
"Come on!" She heard Snappy call out to her.
With a deep breath and a fist clenched, she slowly stepped around the corner herself and into the cave.
And gasped in shock when she saw what was inside.
"Oh my goodness..." She silently exclaimed to herself, stepping past a smiling Snappy, who was currently putting his cannon away, to see the rest of the cave.
It was an enclosed alcove, inside which was a pond of warm, steaming water. Fluttershy realized it must be some kind of hot spring, like the spa back home. There was some kind of strange, white, glowing flowers all along the walls, which was giving the entire place a calming, peaceful sort of atmosphere. The way they were glowing looked just like the white snowflake designs she had seen along the walls of Melody's sanctuary. Maybe this is where they came from?
Fluttershy couldn't help but smile upon seeing the place. It looked very relaxing and inviting.
Snappy stepped up behind her, still holding the Medal-Detector-5000 and smiling upon seeing her reaction to the cave.
"See? It's not scary in here. It's a pretty neat little place." Snappy said to her, lowering the Detector and gazing around the area. He could gaze around this place a hundred times and never get bored of it. And he knew people loved to collect these kinds of flowers to make beautiful decorations. It was just their luck that this wasn't the only place they could be found, so this place was pretty much unknown to the majority of Toontown. It was a great place to unwind and relax for a while.
Fluttershy approached one of the flowers and touched the petals. It felt very smooth and soft, and full of life. It filled her with a sense of joy she hadn't felt in a very long time. She had never encountered anything like it before.
"It feels so nice here." She exclaimed, watching as another large glowing flower fell off its stem and land on her head, which caused her to chuckle. She picked it off her head and stuck it in her hair behind her right ear.
"I know those flowers never wilt, so it's easy to see why everyone wants them for decorations so badly." Snappy said to her, raising the device again and clicking the button.
And at that very moment, the Medal-Detector-5000 began beeping wildly, and pointing at the ground right next to one of those glowing flowers. Snappy smiled again. Fluttershy turned to face him.
"Sounds like its right here!" He told Fluttershy, pulling out a small shovel from one of his many pockets.
Fluttershy raised an eyebrow and walked over to him, curious as to what he was about to do.
"It's buried?" She asked him, looking down at the small mound of soft dirt that the Detector was pointing at.
"Looks like it. But no worries. I can dig it up." Snappy told her, as he stood up and put the Medal-Detector-5000 away, and started digging away at the mound of soft dirt, searching for the Power Medal.
While he was doing that, Fluttershy took another look around the area. She could just imagine herself and her friends hanging out and having fun here, talking about this or that.
Her thoughts then wandered to Princess Celestia and Discord. Surely, Twilight Sparkle had informed them about what had happened by now. Wad Princess Celestia looking for Fluttershy using her powers? Was a search party, no doubt lead by Discord, combing every square inch of Equestria trying to find her? She hoped this wasn't the case on both accounts, as she knew both efforts would just be a waste of time. That likely wouldn't stop them from trying, though.
A few seconds later, they heard a clanging sound, and they both gasped loudly. Tossing the shovel aside, Snappy reached down and started pawing through the dirt. Fluttershy stood next to him, peering down into the hole with baited breath.
A moment or so later, and a bright purple flash from inside the hole caught their attention. Fluttershy covered her eyes with her hand as Snappy reached inside and extracted the Power Medal.
Fluttershy uncovered her eyes and looked down at the Medal, letting out another low gasp. This one was dark purple around the outside, while the center was a lighter shade of purple. The colors reminded her of Twilight Sparkle. The Medal had, what looked to be, a curvy spade in the middle of it. It was attached to the same golden string the Power Medal of Wisdom had.
"The Power Medal of Honor. Never thought I'd see this one again." Snappy said out loud, admiring the glowing, all-powerful object in his hand. He tossed it up to Fluttershy, hoisted himself out of the hole he had dug, and went over to retrieve his shovel.
Fluttershy let out a low, startled cry as the Medal landed in her hands. She could feel an immense power coming from the glowing object she was now holding. It was no wonder why these things were held in such high regard. Just this one Medal felt more powerful than the Elements of Harmony could ever be. It made her ponder how powerful the Medals were when they were all united.
She guessed she'd find out soon enough. After all, she had to find them all if she wanted to get home.
Fluttershy looked up at Snappy and smiled as he came over. She was one step closer to getting home.
"I sure hope the rest of them are this easy to find." She told him, tossing him the Power Medal.
"Yep. This little thing sure does the trick." Snappy said happily, holding up the Medal-Detector-5000 and putting the Power Medal of Honor away. "It's only a matter of time before we manage to get all seven. We'll have you back home before you know it."
Something about that line made Fluttershy pause and think for a moment. She wondered what her friends would think if they knew she was here, doing these things, trying to get home to them, and not lying in a roadway somewhere, alone and terrified and probably dying. She was hoping beyond hope that they were managing just fine without her around to help.
Of course, this only strengthened her resolve to get home and ensure they were alright. And she wanted to do so as soon as possible.
"Let's go and show Dusty." Snappy suggested to Fluttershy, who nodded in agreement, before turning toward the entrance to the cave.
Fluttershy looked back into the cave as they neared the entrance. She would certainly make sure to come back here at some point. After all, how often did you come across beautiful flowers like these that never wilted?
Two out of seven Power Medals and they had just started searching for them. It went without saying that Fluttershy's spirits were flying high at this point. What could possibly ruin this wonderful feeling?
The answer to that question came as the two went to step out of the cave and back onto the coast. At that very moment, the Smog Smashers dropped down from somewhere overhead and landed in front of them, startling both of them.
"Well, well, well... what do we have here?" The purple bear said with a smirk on his face, as he looked from Snappy to Fluttershy and back again.
The red mouse and green rabbit stepped up next to him, eyeing the purple Power Medal in Snappy's hand.
"Looks like someone's on a little treasure hunt. And that is quite the treasure you've got there." The blue cat said, chuckling to himself darkly. The other three all chuckled as well.
Snappy quickly pocketed the Power Medal and the Medal-Detector-5000, pulled out his cream pie cannon and stood ready. He didn't know what he was going to do here. After all, pies were no good on other Toons.
Fluttershy was quickly searching for a way out of this as well, but in the end, she came up with nothing. She highly doubted these guys would ever listen to reason, even from her. They seemed to be the hardened, criminal types that took orders from no one.
"What do you idiots want?" Snappy spat, gripping his cannon with both hands and glaring daggers at the four. Fluttershy just remained in place, still unsure of what to do.
"Well, at first, we only wanted that Power Medal." The red mouse said, crossing his arms in front of his chest and grinning darkly, sending shivers up Fluttershy's spine. "But it looks like you got a device there that can track the Power Medals. I suppose you wouldn't mind parting ways with that, too."
Snappy's eyes widened slightly at those words. They must have followed them here! And now they knew about the Medal-Detector-5000.
Snappy was still searching for a way out of this situation. He didn't want to risk losing the Medal-Detector-5000, because he knew that if he did, Fluttershy may never get home. He also didn't want to risk losing a Power Medal to these goons. He knew if he did, it would only be a matter of time before it ended up in the cogs hands.
And that was the last thing he needed; For Mystery to get his hands on another Power Medal.
Snappy shot a sideways glance at Fluttershy and lightly nodded his head, as if telling her 'Get ready to move', before fixing his gaze on the Smog Smashers again. Fluttershy fixed her gaze on them as well, a stern look on her face.
"Don't make me laugh. You couldn't get this Power Medal if I was standing still." Snappy challenged, mentally praising himself for such a witty comeback.
The Smog Smashers all looked over at him, and gave him most unpleasant expressions.
"Always got to do things the hard way, eh, little dog?" The purple bear said with venom in his tone, as he and the rest of his companions tensed up, preparing to attack.
Snappy and Fluttershy both drew a low breath and tensed up, preparing to make their moves.
"Get em', boys!" The red mouse said, and the four Smog Smashers quickly jumped forward, attempting to grab Snappy.
However, Snappy was too fast for them, and quickly engaged his jetpack, flying right over the Smog Smashers, who all collided head-first in mid-air. They crashed into the ground and slowly got to their feet, holding their heads.
"Hahaha! Nice try, boys!" Snappy taunted, before landing next to Fluttershy and lifting her up in his arms bridal-style.
"Oh!" Fluttershy exclaimed upon being picked up. She hadn't been expecting that!
"Hold on!" Snappy shouted, before engaging his jetpack once again, and flying out of the cave.
However, the green rabbit wasn't quite done yet, as he quickly pulled out an EMP detonator he had borrowed from a Bloodsucker in Lawbot Headquarters.
"Oh no, you don't..." He grumbled, as he aimed the detonator, and pushed the button.
Snappy let out a shout as his jetpack sputtered and died. Fluttershy's eyes widened as she quickly realized what was about to happen next.
Snappy and Fluttershy fell, screaming all the way, right into a parked motorboat that was right outside of the cave.
Fluttershy gasped as the pair quickly staggered to their feet. What was this boat doing here?
"Our motorboat! You idiot!" The red mouse shouted, bonking the green rabbit on the head with his fist. The green rabbit let out a yelp of pain upon being struck and dropped the EMP detonator, which shattered in two as it landed on top of a rock.
"Smooth move, dork!" The green rabbit fired back, picking up half of the broken EMP detonator and chucked it at the red mouse's head. Luckily, he was able to dodge it.
Fluttershy was looking down at the boat she and Snappy had landed in. How did this thing get here?
"Looks like the Smog Smashers rode here by boat." Snappy said, standing up and rushing over to the motors controls. "I don't know how they managed to sneak up on us, but let's borrow it and get out of here!"
Snappy started up the motor and the pair quickly rode away from the shore, narrowly missing a bundle of TNT that the purple bear threw at them. The bundle fell into the water and exploded, splashing the four thugs with saltwater.
"Nice, man. Nice." The blue cat said in a sour tone, shaking himself down, splashing his companions with even more water. "We didn't get Snappy, we didn't get the Power Medals, we didn't get his little friend, we didn't get that Medal finding device of his, AND he stole our boat! Now what'll we do!?"
The other three just shrugged cluelessly at him. His palm met his forehead as he let out a frustrated groan.
Snappy and Fluttershy watched the four as they rode away from the shore, smiling happily. They had escaped once again.
"Bon Voyage, Smog Smashers! And thanks for lending us your ride!" Snappy called to them, waving his hat in the air in farewell, before slipping it back on and sitting back down as he continued to steer the boat away from the coast. Fluttershy was breathing deeply to calm herself down, but she was still very pleased over that entire ordeal.
"Wow. That was actually fun!" Fluttershy exclaimed, laughing happily for reasons even she didn't know. Snappy just smiled happily at her, glad that she was enjoying herself.
"Yep. I got to tell you, those four idiots give failure a bad name. Even the Toon Resistance knows it." Snappy joked, as he brought the motorboat to a stop in the middle of the sea, roughly five hundred yards from shore. The coast was still visible from where they were. The Smog Smashers, however, were long gone. Snappy figured they ran off after having their boat hijacked. They never were the types to stick around after failure.
That bit about the Toon Resistance raised a question that Fluttershy had been wondering for some time. She looked over at him with a curious look in her eyes.
"Um, Snappy, if you don't mind me asking, what is the Toon Resistance?" She asked him, and quickly afterwards found herself wishing she hadn't. Snappy let out a tragic sigh and looked over at Fluttershy, a blank expression on his face.
"Only the greatest cog smashers in all of the Tooniverse. They're the elite, often carrying out extremely dangerous top-secret missions deep within the cogs home turf. Whenever they're not here in Toontown fighting off dangerous invasions, that is." Snappy explained, gazing longingly out at the sea, a frown on his face.
Fluttershy took a second to process what he had just told her, before Snappy continued.
"My brother's one of them. He joined up about two years ago after he stopped Mystery from flattening the entire Tooniverse, and he's helped them on a number of dangerous missions. He even wears their uniform." Snappy continued, now gazing down at the boat, avoiding Fluttershy's gaze. "I really want to join up with them, too. I've been training so hard to get there."
Fluttershy remained silent, listening to Snappy as he spoke about the Toon Resistance. From what she was hearing, she was able to draw a parallel to Rainbow Dash's wanting to join the Wonderbolts.
"But after everything that's happened, I doubt I'm ever going to get in now. There's no way they're going to accept someone who killed another Toon. Not even my brother can convince them otherwise..." Snappy said sadly, earning a remorseful look from Fluttershy.
"Is that you're only reason for wanting to join them?" Fluttershy asked, to which Snappy let out another sad sigh.
"I just wanted to make my brother proud. I honestly feel like he's ashamed of me, especially after that whole wormhole machine fiasco. I know he never admits it to anyone, but it's just there. I can feel it." Snappy said in a heavily distressed tone, looking out over the water and frowning sadly.
Fluttershy had to ponder his words for a moment, and she didn't like how it was sounding. From what she was able to piece together, Snappy wanted to prove himself to his older brother and make him proud by joining the Toon Resistance, but he firmly believed that his blunder on such an important mission had cost him his chance to join them, and he firmly believed that his brother was ashamed of him for it.
Something about this didn't hold water with Fluttershy. She hadn't known them long, but there was something about Dusty that told her he was very proud of his little brother, and was glad to have him as an ally in the fight against the cogs. Plus she had heard him before shouting at angry Toons for harassing Snappy, which in itself took quite a bit of respect for the person in question to do.
As for Snappy, she could already tell that he was the next hero that Toontown deserved, even if the rest of the town didn't see it that way. And he deserved to be up there right next to his brother as a member of the Toon Resistance.
Sure, he was younger and less experienced that Dusty, but as the old saying went: "You live and learn."
And she also knew that sooner or later, he'd get the chance to redeem himself for his mistake and prove himself to his brother. After all, people who deserve redemption always get it in the end, didn't they?
And besides, it was just one mistake. He really shouldn't have been letting it get him down.
"Snappy, listen. I think I said before that everyone who messes up eventually gets a chance to redeem themselves. I know you'll get your chance before long. You just have to believe in yourself, and have a little faith." She told him happily, trying to lift his spirits as best as she could.
To her surprise, Snappy actually smiled and looked at her.
"Thanks, Fluttershy. You're friends are really lucky to have you. I hope you know that." Snappy told her, giving her an appreciative nod of the head. Thank goodness he had her around to keep his morale high, especially in the face of the huge task they still had ahead of them.
Fluttershy simply blushed and looked away, giggling happily, mentally praising herself for having helped him once again. She wasn't about to admit it to herself, but her natural ability for seeing the best in those who can't see it in themselves was working it's magic today.
Fluttershy was just about to ask Snappy something else, but she soon found herself looking over the boat and at the water. She could see various kinds of fish swimming around in the crystal clear water, but these fish were like none she had ever seen before.
There was a small green one with a clown's nose and hat on, which honked its nose as it swam past. Another one looked like a polar bear, except with a snorkel and diving mask on. There was another one which looked like a starfish, except it had a full head of black hair and was holding a microphone.
Fluttershy gasped as it launched itself out of the water and landed on the side of the boat.
"Thank you very much!" It said in a very deep and pleasing tone, making Fluttershy raise an eyebrow at it, before jumping back into the water. Snappy just chuckled.
"Ah, those Starfish. They get me every time." He said in a cheerful tone, gazing out first at the open sea, then over to the coast, and then to Fluttershy, who was still looking curiously into the water at the various kinds of fish.
Something then caught her attention. Among the fish in the sea, there was something that look distinctly like a giant red cats' eye.
And to her shock and surprise, it blinked and looked back at her!
She let out a scream and reeled back from the edge of the boat, eyes wide with alarm. Snappy looked over at her in surprise.
"What is it?" He asked, stepping over next to her and peering over into the water himself.
"There's something in there!" She squeaked in a high-pitched, fearful tone, not wanting to move from her spot. She didn't know what that thing was, but something told her it wasn't friendly.
Snappy looked around in the water, trying to find whatever it was that had spooked Fluttershy. And sure enough...
"WHAT THE HECK!?" He exclaimed, quickly reaching for his cream pie cannon. He wasn't familiar with any fish species that had giant red cats' eyes, and he was fairly sure the catfish didn't have red eyes.
He quickly dashed back over to the controls for the motor and started it up again.
"Hang on! I'm going to get us back to shore!" Snappy instructed Fluttershy, as he revved up the motor and turned the boat around, heading back to the coast. He didn't know what was up, but he knew exactly what to do: Get out of the water ASAP!
But the boat had barely moved ten feet when something slammed into the bottom of it, knocking both Snappy and Fluttershy off their feet like a pair of dominos.
It felt as if a whale had body slammed them head-on!
"What's happening!?" Fluttershy exclaimed fearfully, her eyes wide with terror. She had a really bad feeling about this...
Snappy stood up and looked down into the water again. The red cats' eyes had disappeared, but that didn't explain what had hit their boat.
"This isn't going to end well..." He muttered to himself, reaching over for the controls to the motor once again. But before he could get the boat moving again...
"AAHHH!"
A terrible scream caught him off-guard, causing him to yelp in fright. He whipped around to see what had happened.
Something that looked like a long coil of black rope, with a tiny red pulsating electronic device attached to the end of it, had come out of the water and snaked its way onto the boat. And it had wrapped itself around Fluttershy's leg!
Fluttershy was barely able to grab onto the bow of the boat as the rope tightened itself and tried to drag her out of the boat and into the sea.
"Ahh! Help me!" She pleaded, trying her best to hang on, but the black rope was much stronger then she was, and she could feel her fingers starting to slip.
Snappy dashed over as fast as he could and grabbed her arms, trying desperately to pull her back into the boat. That rope was putting up one heck of a fight!
"What the heck is this thing, anyway!?" Snappy pondered to himself as he struggled against the force of the rope, trying to save Fluttershy.
"Hang on, Fluttershy!" Snappy called, straining himself to pull her back to safety. He couldn't let her drown! His face had turned red from the effort.
But in the end, it was no good.
With one final tug, the rope pulled Fluttershy loose from Snappy's grip and dragged her away into the water.
Snappy flew backwards into the boat upon losing his grip on Fluttershy, but quickly jumped to his feet and ran over to the bow of the boat, panic in his face, looking into the water for any sign of her.
"Fluttershy! FLUTTERSHY!" Snappy shouted, trying but failing to spot her under the water. He couldn't believe it. He didn't want to believe she was dead. She just couldn't be!
"Oh no, oh no, no, no, no! What'll I do!?" He shouted in a panic, gazing all over for something he could use to possibly rescue Fluttershy.
- Meanwhile... -
"Thanks for taking the time to talk with me, Lowden. I'll see you soon." Dusty said to Lord Lowden Clear, leader of the Toon Resistance, giving him a salute, before walking out of his office and out of Toon Hall.
"Hopefully we can get some answers soon." Dusty thought to himself happily. He had just been to report the battle at his estate the prior night, and was glad to hear that the Toon Resistance were preparing a counter-intelligence mission on Bossbot Headquarters, in order to figure out what Mystery was up to. There was no doubt in Lord Lowden Clear's mind that Mystery was up to something, and that the battle at his estate, as well as the invasion on Toontown Central, had been a diversion.
Dusty thought to inquire about that, but ultimately decided against it. Any excuse to knock Mystery down a peg or two was alright with him, and he didn't want to make it sound like it was a bad idea. After all, nobody argued with Lord Lowden Clear!
His thoughts then wandered to Snappy and Fluttershy. He hoped they were doing alright. After all, Power Medal hunting was serious business. Especially if Mystery got involved! And he was almost certain that Mystery, or one of his henchmen, were going to rear their ugly heads sooner or later and attempt to take back the Power Medals.
He thought to go and see how they were doing, but a beeping from his radio stopped him dead in his tracks. He quickly pulled out the radio from his belt and clicked it on.
"This is Dusty Bumblejinks. Go ahead." He said in a half-bored tone, as if he already knew what was coming.
"Dusty, I hate to be a party crasher, but it looks like we got trouble in Donald's Dock. A massive horde of Cashbots are invading the neighborhood, and some Toons have reported spotting some kind of giant mechanical monster off the coast." A Resistance Ranger said into the other line, making Dusty gasp lightly.
Donald's Dock. That's where Snappy and Fluttershy were supposed to be looking for Power Medals!
"Hang tight. I'll be right there!" He said into the radio, before clicking it off and putting it away, a furious look on his face.
He knew it was only a matter of time before Mystery went after Snappy and Fluttershy. After all, he was willing to do ANYTHING to seize a Power Medal. But he hadn't expected Mystery to make his move so soon. Mystery usually waited at least two and a half full days between plots, mainly because he needed time to make them as elaborate and complex as possible.
And what did the Resistance Ranger on the other end of the radio mean when he said Toons saw some kind of giant mechanical monster off the coast of Donald's Dock? It sounded like Mystery was taking matters into his own hands, and if that was the case, there was no time to lose. Who knows how much destruction that brown cat could cause, if he was behind the wheel of one of his favorite death machines?
With all this in mind, he quickly pulled out his portable hole and jumped into it, ready to do what he did best: Cog Crushing.
