Chapter Five: Terror at the Junkyard
"Jelly, you're insane!" Munk hissed, ducking away from another bat that swooped down low.
"EEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!" Victoria screeched, running away as fast as she could, with a bat close behind her.
Misto decided to try shooting the evil bats with lightning bolts. He fired one at the bat that was chasing his love, Victoria around the Junkyard. The bat dodged.
Instead of continuing to chase Victoria, the bat turned around in midair, and flew right at Misto! He shot a lightning bolt at it again, and this time, he hit it square on the forehead. It died instantly.
"Thanks, Misto," Victoria gasped. She was completely out of breath.
"Munkustrap, I am not insane," Jelly protested. "I merely do not like the way things are being run."
Too bad, thought Munk. "Do you want to kill your entire family?" he asked aloud.
"I don't care about them. I want to rule the world!" she began to cackle again.
"No matter what you say, Jelly, you are insane," Munk hissed.
"Why?" she asked. "What is wrong? I can control them."
"Then prove it," Munk challenged.
"COME TO ME!!!" she shouted, loud enough for all the junkyard to hear. The bats stopped their frantic scaring of Jellicles and stared at her.
After a moment, they all screeched an dived at her, cleanly slicing her head off. Victoria fainted, and luckily for her, Misto caught her.
"Some control over them," Munk commented. "Call 'em and they kill you."
The sun was starting to rise, and the bats flew away, back to their roost.
Bombalurina, Exotica, Sillabub, and Demeter came into the Junkyard.
