Chapter 8: Help There's A Plot!
"Oh sure we can handle this ourselves. No need to drag anyone else into it. You and me can do this together. So what happens after that?!"
Lindir paused his rant and since there was no one around to answer him he shouted, "YOU MEET SOME PRETTY HOBBIT AND TOSS ME ASIDE LIKE YESTERDAY'S LEFTOVER TUNA SALAD WITH A SIDE OF COLESLAW!"
The poor Jedi elf was making his way (alone) through the vast lands of Middle Earth to take care of that disturbance he had sensed in the Force. However Pippin had run into a random girl at the Bowling Alley and now he was occupied with his new girlfriend leaving Lindir to take care of things himself.
Phoenix was busy himself, when Lindir had tried to ask him for help he'd said: "Can't! Shazad's mad at me and she left her duffle bag behind now I have to return it!"
And Thranduil was no help either. In fact he had been very busy lately, yesterday he'd left on some "important business" that no one knew about leaving Dailoth in charge of Mirkwood. Sighing Lindir lowered his head and continued walking, why was he always so alone?
Everyone he knew abandoned him at some point! His own kitten rejected him!
Lindir was a lonely Jedi Elf in the midst of those who had friends and family and pets that loved them.
Little did he know that he was about to stumble upon one of the biggest plot points in the entire story.
ππππ
Arbrandir was also walking in some random place, unlike Lindir however he wasn't depressed. In fact he was enjoying himself, the sun was shining, birds were singing, nothing had gone horribly wrong the past few days, everything was absolutely perfect.
Until he ran into a plot point.
Or more like the plot point ran into him.
Arbrandir let out a very undignified yelp as he collided with ground, the person who had run into him was immediately back on his feet and helping Arbrandir up.
"Sorry, I'm in a hurry." Varonwe said determined to continue his mad dash to wherever he was going. The grim Ranger moved to get around Arbrandir but this was easier narrated than done.
"What's the big hurry?" Arbrandir asked genuinely curious.
"None of your business." Varonwe stepped to the right and Arbrandir mirrored his movements.
"You sure it's nothing? You seem to be a little nervous."
"You would be too if you saw what I did now please move. I'm not going to ask again."
Abrandir couldn't take a hint. He went to block Varonwe again, only to flipped over the Ranger's shoulder and slammed onto his back.
"I don't have time for this." Varonwe muttered leaving Arbrandir lying on the ground in a daze. Once Arbrandir regained his senses he stood up again and followed after. The guy really can't take a hint and before long he'd caught up to Varonwe.
"So where are you headed?" Arbrandir asked as if what had happened in the last paragraph did not happen.
"Somewhere." Varonwe replied keeping his tone dry.
"What a coincidence! That's exactly where I'm going."
Varonwe closed his eyes and groaned. This was not how he'd wanted this day to go.
"You do realize that if you come with me it'll bring nothing but trouble?"
Arbrandir shrugged.
"I don't mind, things have been boring around here anyway. I need some excitement."
Now if Arbrandir was aware of what kind of story he was in, and that the character he was going to travel with was the only serious character in the entire series, he would have run immediately. But since he knew none of this he was ready to follow Varonwe blindly into the next chapter.
Varonwe narrowed his eyes at Arbrandir, wondering if he should hit him over the head with a large tree branch he saw laying nearby, or if he should let him come along. Knowing that the ultimate decision was out of his hands he turned around and waved Arbrandir forward. The young lad pumped his fist in victory before following.
"Keep in mind that from this moment forward there is a very high chance that you're going to die." Varonwe said in the most expressionless way possible.
"I can live with that." Arbrandir replied.
"I mean it, from now on nothing good is going to happen to you and me."
"You talk as if you know exactly what's going to happen from here on out." Arbrandir was starting to get suspicious and slightly self aware.
"Call it foresight or call it a hunch. The point is the chances of us surviving this are very slim."
"Survive what exactly? Arbrandir asked starting to become slightly concerned.
"The end of Middle Earth as we know it."
Meanwhile in some unknown location....
"Alright, one of these must be powerful enough to power my machine for good." A tiny figure said looking at the three different power sources in front of him. Okay you know what? You all probably guessed who this is by now, so what's the point of keeping his identity a secret?
In front of Thunderpuff's little paws lay a sphere looking shape that was yellow and shot little sparks of electricity from it. Next to it lay a thin, silver rectangular object that also seemed to contain some form of electricity. And next to that lay a pair of double A batteries.
"Hmm..." Thunderpuff flicked his tail and his whiskers twitched. "Maybe this one will work."
Thunderpuff grabbed the sphere and shoved it into the power thingy. There was a bunch of flashes and sparks flew everywhere, then the machine burned out.
"Dang it! Maybe this one will work..." He tried the rectangle and for a moment he thought it would work, it didn't obviously.
"Alright it better not be these batteries or else I'm going to lose my mind." ThunderPuff crammed the batteries in: nothing happened.
"This is ridiculous! I've gone through 89,473,874 power sources and not one works!" The enraged kitten hissed in anger and his fur fluffed up.
"Something wrong Thunderpuff?"
Another squeaky voice asked.
"I can't find anything powerful enough to sustain this machine! If I don't find a way to power it then my plan has been ruined!" Thunderpuff wailed.
A small kitten padded over to where Thunderpuff was and flicked her tail.
"I think I may know where to find something." She said.
"You do?" Thunderpuff's ears perked up hopefully.
"Yup! Give me a day or two and I'll have it."
Thunderpuff purred happily as he rubbed his head against hers.
"What would I ever do without you Thundersparkle?"
Thundersparkle purred and the two fluffy kittens continued to show each other kittenish affection (which is adorable by the way) when suddenly an alarm went off.
Sir we have a problem.
"What now?" Thunderpuff growled.
"Characters linked to being FWBs have been quietly disappearing. If I didn't know any better I'd say that they are gathering."
Thunderpuff hissed. "Those idiots had better not have figured out my plan."
"Oh they probably have. They are FWBs after all."
"Don't worry Thunderpuff, by the time the narrative gets to them I will have already brought you the power source you need for your machine. Then they will be too late to stop you." Thundersparkle scurried off leaving Thunderpuff to scheme.
The FWBs are the biggest threat to me. I need a way to get rid of them...
An idea began to take root in Thunderpuff's twisted little kitten mind. It was evil, oh so evil, but also brilliant! It would only take a few configurations to the machine to make it work, oh this idea was brilliant.
Cackling madly Thunderpuff bounded away to begin his newest evil plan
ππππ
Yup! Thunderpuff has a girlfriend.
Introducing Thundersparkle!
Sorry it took so long to update. I hit a roadblock with this but have now burned it down crushed it into nothingness. So expect more frequent updates!
Alright I'm out
