| Chapter 9 continued... Roseidous scratches his shaved head. "What dispute?" "I don't know, I forgot. All I know is that we've got to settle it." "Ah, okay, fine. A duel, then?" "Yes, a duel." Roses sighs. She looks over at Holli, and says under her breath, "You wanna leave these two morons to duke it out while we take over all of 'man-kind'?" Holli grins evilly. "Sure!" With that, the two ladies depart, while Roseidous and Tyrael circle each other like two competing alpha wolves. "So, Baldy, ready to be humiliated?" Tyrael taunts. "Hey, I just have a high widow's peak!" "Yeah, sure, whatever. I'm gonna kick yer scrawny bald butt from here to Albuquerque. That's about....half a mile from here." "You won't be cocky for long, little Spidey." Roseidous, in a blur, whacks Tyrael in the head with the dead bunny, knocking Tyrael on his butt. "Dead weight." Roseidous leaps toward Tyrael, swinging the lifeless bunny by the ears. Tyrael rolls to the left just as Roseidous lays some bunny-smack on the ground Tyrael had previously been laying on. Tyrael somersaults back up to his feet, and ducks behind Crayak just as Roseidous takes another swing. Crayak goes flying, landing far off, unconscious. "Hiding behind fourth dimensional being now, are we, Spidey-boy?" Roseidous badgers. "Aw, shuddup! You've got the bunny." Roseidous grins. "That I do. Now run little man!" Roseidous cackles maniacally as he chases Tyrael around the room with the bunny held high. Flight of the Bumblebee music begins to play. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I know what you mean," Holli said as she and Roses walked back into the room. "I can't believe they didn't have that shirt in lime green. Now how are we suppsed to have matching evil uniforms?" "Well," Roses replied. "Roseidous and I used to have matching uniforms. Until he forgot to rescue me and left me in his electronic-something-or-other hair. Can you believe that no one remembered to rescue me?" she ranted as she watched Tyrael dodge yet another hit from the bunny as Roseidous swung it around. < |
