Chapter 14: An Unexpected Ambush
It was only seven in the morning when Selvian had woken up and now it was time to wake everyone else up to start the investigation on 5-Volt's car and the briefcase.
Lester: "Aw come on, the sun's just rising"
Selvian: "Ah, Lester? You're usually the most laid back"
Joseph: "Who's dat?"
he saw a tall figure and a short figure in the distance,
Joseph: "Are they the ones that broke into the car?".
Selvian came over to Joseph and was staring at the two men, trying to gain a better perspective of them.
Selvian: "Hmm, I don't think the short grey haired man could do anything but the Asian man in the blue coat? He's a likely candidate".
From another perspective:
Master Mantis: "Now Young Cricket. your next trial awaits. Go over there and dispatch of all the little green bears in the area. I will be waiting here, waiting for your much anticipated success".
Then Young Cricket starts out by making these serious but also silly sounding ninja noises.
Joseph: "Ah dude?", said Joseph to Selvian, "I think that old man just told the young one to attack us".
Selvian and Joseph now both looking at each other and shaking their heads; "Oh dear...". Joseph then looked around.
Joseph: "Pity we don't have any booby traps in the area to catch him...".
As Young Cricket launched out at Selvian and Joseph, Selvian ran off to wake everyone else up while Joseph tried to hold Young Cricket back.
Joseph: "Now now Sir, don't get feisty with us just yet. We've done nothing to hurt you".
Young Cricket: "Quiet, little bear! Try'na act all nice and then you'll eat us for dinner when we're not looking", talking about both him and Master Mantis.
Joseph: "Ah no?",
thought Joseph, looking confused,
Joseph: "Uh, guys? I could use a little help here!".
Joseph was now tackled into the ground as Young Cricket kept beating and slicing at him.
Joseph: "Argh!"
Selvian: "Hey, get off him you dirty old rag!",
he went to bite Young Cricket on the backside.
Young Cricket: "You try'na eat me? I knew it!".
Selvian: "We're only trying and gonna eat you because you're not being nice to us".
Unfortunately now, Young Cricket had both Selvian and Joseph pinned to the ground.
Harry: "Get him!",
yelled Harry, leading a larger mob of teddies onto Young Cricket.
Florence: "Why is the old man just watching?"
Harry: "No time for that now, Flo! Get the youngin'!"
Florence: "What are we gonna do? The Mistress would never want us to kill him".
He growled in frustration but then decided to answer.
Harry: "We won't kill him but we have to save Joe and Selvo. Once we render him unconscious, we'll lock him in the weather shelter and then try to talk to him when he has some sense!".
Still on Selvian and Joseph, Young Cricket looked back as if he was in a dreadful anticipation of what was to come next. Every single guard that could, launched themselves onto Young Cricket and now the tides had turned; he was pummelled into the ground, allowing Joseph and Selvian to get up and go somewhere amongst the scaffolding to catch their breath and recover.
Joseph: "I can't believe this dude", said Joseph to Selvian.
Selvian: "I know, me neither. He's crazy... And I always thought we were crazy"
Young Cricket: "Get off me!",
Master Mantis then attempting to come to his aid. Master Mantis though was small and weak and so he was to be swept up by half of the guards that went from Young Cricket to Master Mantis.
Harry: "Once you've got them, throw them into the shelter!"
Sierra: "Ah, who's got the key?"
Harry: "Oh... Selvian has it... Guys! Keep going!",
announced Harry as he ran off to get the key from Selvian.
Harry: "Hey bud, you okay?"
Selvian: "I'm okay, but I think Joseph's got some bruises"
Harry looked over to Joseph who was leaning on a board of parquetry and groaning.
Harry: "Aw man, not you! We won't be able to build as fast now".
Selvian: "Ah, sorry to interrupt you, men, but don't you think you should get back over there and lock them up so they can stop causing trouble?".
Harry nodded as he quickly got up from beside Joseph and went back to the fight.
It was too much for Young Cricket and Master Mantis now, they were being tossed left, right and centre. Once the guards saw Harry approaching them though, they seemed to get into some sort of orderly sequence and restrain Young Cricket and Master Mantis up in the air. Harry took no hesitation in swinging the door of the shelter open and signalling for the two intruders to be brought over and chucked in. Although they didn't really want to fight in the first place, the teddies had yelled out, "Teddies are the best! Chuck out the rest!", as Harry proceeded to slam the door shut and lock them in.
Harry: "And you won't be getting out until the Mistress returns!",
exclaimed Harry, being the final words that were spoken to Young Cricket and Master Mantis.
Young Cricket and Master Mantis were now in darkness and so could not see each other. Each of them could only know their partner's thoughts by hearing or feeling their surroundings.
Master Mantis: "Young Cricket, you failed to complete your training".
Young Cricket: "I know master, but when that Mistress of theirs returns, I've got some more techniques up my sleeve".
There was nothing much else to do and so they decided to sit on the bench bolted next to the far back wall and rest so they would be ready to pounce when I returned.
