Pancake saves the day, & blackmails Keto
Who: Justin Pancake, Wolfgang Sweetsly
Where: In a toy truck, about to explode, moving towards the Terrapins base
When: Before they were all made tall again
<snip>
The door burst inwards into the store cupboard, where the Temporal Terrapins's
base was. Several terrapins peered outside of the crate seeing a toy lorry
loaded with explosives driving towards
them, and a robot dog snapping at it's tyres....
<end snip>
What followed shortly after was a loud explosion, followed by many smaller
explosions as all the fireworks let off secondary bangs, and whistles.
Before the main explosion however, several rockets fired upwards from the back
of the toy lorry. These hit the beams holding up the roof in this small rusty
store room and exploded, sending bright and fascinating colours around the high
storage shelves.
The shrunken Blue Dwarf crewmembers, Jayne and Keto cowered under a bag of hard
and dry burger buns, as the ceiling started to fall down around them.
Wolfgang turned to Justin, and instead of doing what Justin expected which was
making a note on his clipboard about the health and safety dangers of driving a
toy truck full of fireworks the German officer actually hugged the man.
"Guutbye krewel world!" He said.
Justin felt the tenseness of the moment, any second the truck they were in was
about to either crash into the Terrapin's base, or explode. Or both.
Justin took out the pieces of cloth he'd hidden in his pocket. It contained
everything he'd been searching for, Hymenoptera blood. With this he knew that he
could finally become a Hymenoptera. He gripped the cloth and put it to his face.
"I have to survive!" He said.
Then he pushed Wolfgang out of the toy, and jumped out of his side.
They both watched as the truck drive at full speed into the crate that the
terrapins had called their base. It exploded with am almighty bang, and several
exciting other firework noises went off. A few fireballs headed in their
direction, presumably spat out by Roman candles, or any of the other fireworks
that sent sparks out into the air.
Justin watched as the terrapins tried to climb over each other, but the
twinkling sparks from the fireworks cooked them alive. One even pressed his
temporal accelerator, trying to slow down time enough to escape, but only
succeeding in maximising his time in the flames. The turtle disappeared in a
cloud of ash.
"Not bad eh?" Said Justin to Jayne, who was cowering under something. "Recommend
me to your close for a pay rise!"
Jayne said nothing, but looked up. They weren't out of danger yet. The rockets
had loosened the ceiling, meaning that several iron beams were starting to fall
to the ground.
One beam fell onto a bag of frozen hamburgers, trapping Dr Keto where he was
hiding.
"Help me!" he cried, only a hand could be seen poking out from under the beam.
Justin was the closest, but was preoccupied with his cloth of Hymenoptera blood.
"Help me you bastard!" Keto cried again, only this time did Justin take notice.
Keto was struggling to squeeze out from underneath the iron bar. Justin helped
and managed to get most of his torso free, but his legs were more difficultly
trapped.
Justin stopped pulling, and looked around. Jayne was fighting to free herself
from similar rubble, and Wolfgang was assessing he area for further Health and
Safety risks.
"What are you dawdling at? Help me out!" Demanded Keto.
Justin looked at the green blood on his piece of napkin. He showed it to Keto.
"Doing some fingerpainting were you?" Keto asked. "Mayeb you have only just
discovered how to mix green from blue and yellow paint."
"It's blood." Justin said. "Hymenoptera blood."
Keto paused. Finally settling for "Oh."
"I need your help." Justin said awkwardly. "Now that I've got the blood. I need
you to help me inject some of it into me."
"You must be joking!" Said Keto. "Can we talk about this later... perhaps when
I'm not being crushed to death."
"I'll let you out if you help me." Justin said.
"Blackmail!!" Said Keto.
Justin nodded slowly. "If you help me, I'll help you."
"You're mad!" Said Keto. "Why do you want to be a Hymenoptera anyway?"
Justin shrugged. "They're way cool."
Keto shook his head. "It won't work. Just injecting yourself with some dried up
blood on a napkin won't do anything."
"That's why I need your help." Said Justin. "You're a good doctor and scientist.
You can use this to make some sort of serum to turn me into a Hymenoptera. Just
like Rosette."
"It WON'T WORK!" Said Keto.
Justin started to walk away.
"Wait!" Called Keto. "Maybe... maybe I can figure out how to mix Human and
Hymenoptera DNA."
Justin stopped and turned around. "Thanks doc!" He said with a big grin and
pulled Keto out from under the beam. The doctor brushed himself down, just
before a large breeze block fell onto where he just was.
"Aren't you going to say thanks?" Justin said.
Keto just scowled at him. "You better know what you're letting yourself in for."
Said Keto. "There might not be a way to turn you back."
Justin shrugged. "I won't need to be turned back. "Look at Rosette. She's an
amazing crossbreed of Human and Hymenoptera."
Just then, a wave passed over them, and they started to grow back to their
original sizes again.
OOC - I'm glad to be back to normal size! So what's next?
