Mission 277
by Frostbite

Mission:
One word that I overheard from behind a cabin door rang through my mind that night. "Mutiny." I'd've never thought it but me own captains planning against me emperor. I had to stop'em. I had to tell Ublaz. But I wasn't supposed to be there in the first place. I was supposed to be on sentry duty and I failed. What do I do? Stupid choices! Well, nothin's more important than savin' me lordship's hide. I rushed to his chamber door and was escorted in by two foxes. "What do you want? I'm tired!!" Ublaz's voice rang through the room. "Your majesty, I..." I froze for a second "...before you do anything hear me out. I left my spot on duty to get a spot of grog to wake meself up. When I got to the cabin door I heard voices. I peeked in and saw me captain and some others inside. I know I wasn't supposed to be there but neither were they. I listened in on 'em. THEY'RE PLANNIN TO KELL YE!!!" "I'm disappointed Frostbite." said the emperor after what he heard. "I know they're planning on killing me. I've got a spy in there with them." A fox runs in breathing heavily with a dagger protruding from his back. "They found out!" is all he could utter before he fell over and died. Ublaz looked at me with blazing red eyes. "What else did you overhear?" he roared. "Nnnnot much else. Jjjjust something about sssome goodbeast" I managed to stutter. Ublaz whispered something to a nearby stoat. The stoat nodded, departed, then Ublaz turned to me. "Take half a score of my men and find this goodbeast!" I did.

The next day the mutinating captains had formed a fleet of three score beasts with them. My plan had to work or I was doomed. I started walking toward their ship with a white flag. They didn't kill me but they were discussing among themselves. "What's going on?" I heard them say. "It's just a tall albino ferret with a white flag sir. Do we open fire?" "No. We want a life to bargain with." They let me on board and tied me up. "I've come with a message." I gasped. "Ublaz says he'll talk with ye but ye have to come outside with me tied up with ye. He wants to talk peace." I heard them snickering among themselves as they huddled to discuss. "Sure, we'll agree!" Said the head of them. A few minutes later we were out in the open with Ublaz in front of us. Taking the concealed dagger in my right paw I cut my ropes and shouted. "SAMPETRAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!" Scores of beasts came from the waters and from hiding. I took the dagger and flailed away as we all fought. When the fighting was over only the head captain was left alive. "I beg you, spare me." he whimmed as he was tortured. Eventually, when blood made a beard for him we released him to leave and never return. When he was out of sight I took a bow and arrow. I followed him, killed him, and brought back his corpse. "Never will anyone get away with this ever again!" I said out loud. He was skinned to reveal that it was a hare in disguise. "All goodbeasts and traitors will die in the end!"
