Twists and Turns….
After Manny and Frida told Maria all about their misadventures in kitty form that night, they were sent to bed…
"Can you believe that after all that, she's still treating us like children? I mean were animals for crying out loud, she shouldn't have to play the boss of us…" Frida accused sternly as she lay on the guest bed a few inches away from Manny…
"Emmm…." Was all Manny's reply.
"What's with you?" Frida asked out of sudden curiosity, dropping her grudge.
"I was just thinking of what happened to Dad and Grandpappi? They should have been here by now…" Manny moaned solemnly.
As if to put magic to Manny's words at that exact moment of time, the roof caved into Maria's guest room and dragged down with it two fighting wild cats both with red eyes…
Manny gasped horrified at the quick recollection he got of watching these two beasts fight from his current position next to the left side of the bed. (He and Frida were unharmed from the cave in seeing as they moved out the way on time.) "Those wild things are Dad and Grandpappi! We have to stop them before they massacre one another or become dumb mangy animals!"
At this comment Rodolfo and Grandpappi put a stop to their mauling ideas and looked at Manny profoundly insulted. "MANGY!?!"
"Oh, you better utter your last words carefully boy!" Snarled Grandpappi as he and Rodolfo closed in on the young cub…
"So…Hehehe…What took you guys so long?" Muttered Manny, trying to by time while being back into a corner…
"We got caught in a heated argument when Jdango of the Dead showed up out of no where and inquired on how could we work could together with such differences and injected several brash comments against us as we tried to defend each other's honor which just led us to fighting each other." Began Grandpappi less angry now…
"We then were captured and brought here by Sartana of the Dead's army in a giant fishnet so-
"You could rip us apart while the statue lay unguarded-
At that exact moment Sartana of Dead flew over head of the kitty crew through the hole in the ceiling and gloated while clutching a hostage by the neck. "Your not as dumb as you look El Tigre…I should give you more credit for latching on and even more for throwing a in body guard into the mix of defending the statue…Oh well to bad she was no match for me…She was distracted the second she saw you in danger on a nearby cam unit. Giving me the perfect moment to snag her glove off…Here you can have her…I have no use for baggage at my lair…"
With Sartana simply dropped Maria from the clutch of her hand…
"NO!" Gasped Manny with horrified eyes.
As Frida gasped too while putting her hands over mouth, Grandpappi pointed something out… "LOOK!"
Halfway down from Maria's original descent, she was caught something white as it gently clasped its mouth around her stomach and aimed its descent directly towards the hard earth below.
"There gonna crash!" Screamed Manny!
"Not if I have something to do with it…" Mutter Frida as she aimed her goggled in a slink shot formation towards Jingo who was cackling on remains of the busted roof over head Manny, holding Maria's glove and the almost complete statue of Cat-Tastrify. (Two pieces were missing…)
SNAP!
Frida's aim on her target was perfect, the statue and the glove both directly fell out of the bone boy's claws…
