Caged hamster - part 3... is this the hamsters final chapter? (ok,

Who: White Wolf, Darken & some real bruisers of his many
accompliances.
When: Even I can't tell the time with hood over my face!
Where: From Inside a cozy 10 by 10 cell. (Okay, it's *not* that
cozy...)
White Wolf groggily woke up sometime later as a orc guard came in and
rather grumpily shoved a wooden bowl half filled with cloudy water
and another wooden bowl laden with something stew-like and a couple
of large hunks of mouldly bread and cheese.
The huge hamster toke both bowls and sniffed at the stew, while
glancing around for a spoon or other eating utensil, Then he called
after the retreating guard, "Hey! Where's my spoon?"
"It's in your stew!" hollered back the grumpy guard.
The overgrown hamster glanced into the stew bowl puzzledly and
replied while turning the bowl around to look at it better, "Where?
It must be missing, because I don't seen anything here that resembles
a spoon."
The surly guard turned and gestured rudely towards the bowl while
bellowing out loudly, "It's right there! Between your smegging bread
and cheese!!!"
"You mean this?" said the large hamster while pulling out a long
burnt looking object that had sunk into the ooze that was supposed to
be his meal,"I thought it was burnt breadstick. I can't use this.
There's nothing left on to scoop with, you might as well have given
me a single chop stick to eat with!"
"Then eat with your hands than!" yelled the orc, turning and resuming
his walk out of the room.
"Hey, how am I supposed eat with my hands?!? I don't *have* any
hands - I've only got paws." demanded White Wolf.
"Eat your food & Shut up, you frellin noisy rodent!" Snarled the
guard over his shoulder, while rounding the corner.
"Animal hater!" Snapped White Wolf angrily back at the guard, before
pausing to sit down and set aside the bread & cheese on the floor of
his cage as he gingerly dipped a foreclaw into the stew and touch a
small amount of it to his tongue in order to taste exactly what it
was. He grimaced and quickly throw the contents of the stew bowl
aside while angerly shouting at top of his lungs to be heard by
anyone in the whole building, "THIS IS RAT STEW! I'M NOT A CANIBAL
YOU BLOODY BASTARDS!"
Then the enormous hamster shook his cage door mightily in extremely
noisy and desparate attempt to free himself, before finally falling
back onto the straw floor of his metal cage feeling exhausted.
One of two rats, which White Wolf had seen earlier, came scittishly
out of the shadows drawn by the strong scent of his food, and it
paused, looking apprehensively at the huge hamster. Noticing the rat
in it's apprehension, White Wolf replied to it weakly "You go right
ahead and be my guest and have some of the mouldly stuff - I sorta
lost my appetite. And I *did* offer you to give you a bit of cheese
or tea & crumpets sometime, anyhow...", while leaning back against
the right side of his cage, ignoring the renewed urgent sounds
issuing from the covered cage next to him.
Then the second rat slinked out to the shadows and dashed accross the
room over to the first rat, and greedily stole a large peice of
mouldy bread from the first rat had in it's mouth, and quickly made
its get away. But, in it's haste to escape with it's prize, it had
dashed close to the bars of the covered cage, whereupon whatever was
housed inside there made a sudden and rapid snatching movement, and
the second rat what snapped up inside of the cage.
Which was quickly followed by the rats loud and fearful squeaking
that was cut short by a frightening crunching & gnashing sound. Then,
after a moment, a noisy spitting and retching sound was heard, and
the second rats skull came shooting out from underneath the nearby
cages covers to hit the floor and glisten a stark white with a slight
wispy smoke as if it were still sizzling from being dipped in a acid
bath which had stripped it of everything clean down to the bone.
White Wolf immediately shifted over to the left side of his cage, to
warily put a little more distance between himself and whatever it was
that was concealed within that cage, just to be safe.
Eventually White Wolf drifted off to sleep again, when he was rudely
woke by being poked in the stomach with a long wooden rod by another
orc guard who was yelling at him, "Wake up, Scum! My master does not
want you sleeping!"
The guard stayed a few more minutes poking at him, to make sure he
didn't immediately go back to sleep, and then left. Again White Wolf
became bored and went back to sleep, where upon again, he was again
violently woke up with the wooden rod. This time, White Wolf
viciously snapped at the wooden rod with his teeth, and then at the
guard as the orc withdrew the rod, commenting, "Do what you want,
pondscum, but you can't sleep. And if this doesn't keep you awake,
the boss says I get to hurt you some more!", Then the guard laughed
as if goading him, and gave him another poke for good measure, before
leaving once more.
After the guard left, the huge hamster thought to himself, "What's
Darken game plan with torture? He should already know that he can't
kill me or drive me insane, especially not with isolation and sleep
deprivation... humans have that problem, but not our kind." he
paused as he noted a open journal sitting nearby on a bench, which
had it's pages laid open so that he could see some odd colored
anatomy drawing with hand written notes scrawled in the margins. From
what he could read of the notes from his angle in the dim light, the
notes referred to some experimentation upon the brain of some sort of
creature, whicih was only partially depicted by the drawing. From
what he could make out of the drawing, this creature had a horrid
visage, and was definitely not nonhumanoid.
"Could Darken be continuing Evil Phil's hamster experimentation?"
Wondered the huge hamster, when he heard quiet footsteps rapidly
approaching and looked up towards the door of the room.
Darken stode in, and smiled at him, "Ahh, good your still awake. Now,
I can begin the next phase of my tests, since I need someone
expendable like you to make sure the next important phase of my
project won't cause any brain damage to me..."
"Brain damage?!?" half blurted White Wolf disbelievingly, now even
more uneasy than he was previously, about whatever Darken was up to.
"I said I would explain how I knew of your coming, with
demonstration." Remarked Darken with a sly smirk, "But first, allow
me to present my..."
Darken paused and looked around the room, as if suddenly noticing
something was missing from the room, and yelled "Egor? Egor! Come
here, right this instant!"
A hunched over and disfigured thin man quickly entered the room,
plaintively muttering, "Yes master, I obey..."
"Make sure these restraints are secure!" Ordered Darken, pointing
towards the second cage.
The man called Egor, leapt forward and quickly checked a bunch of the
tie downs, before reporting "all secure master!"
"What kind of a name is Egor?" Asked White Wolf
"No, Don't ask him about his name!" Screamed Darken, when the fellow
called Egor launched into a ditty about "There once a was man Igor,
who went into the city of yor, to take on the name of gore, who then
worked on computers, until he met a hamster and became E-vor..."
Darken struck him soundly accross the head with the nearby wooden
rod, knocking the thin man senseless, as Dark snapped, "Everytime
someone asks this idiot creditor his name, he launches into his own
inane version 99,999 bottles of beer on the wall, like that
insufferable fool in thse beer commericials stating 'you call me joe,
or you can call me jim, or you can call bill' going on and on..."
Egor raised his head, and started singing "Duh yim ya yah, and E-vor
to to palenor, to become, Eyore...
Darken gave Egor another sturdy smack accross the head, before he
dropped back to the floor. The Dark furred hamster repeated it to
make sure Egor wasn't faking it, before turning back to White Wolf
and stating, "and look what you've gone and done! You've made me to
present my creature myself!"
Darken dramatically pulled off the covering from the second and
nearby cage, revealing a yucky and sickly yellow skinned and hunched
over insectoid with a bunch of vinelike hollow tubes leading up to
it's bandage covered head.
"Whew!" exhaled White Wolf, "for a second there, I thought you were
making some lame undead rodent Miss White Wolf..."
"Ehh?!? What's that" Went Darken, frowning at White Wolf in
puzzlement.
"You know, the castle, the mad scientist laboratory surroundings, the
funny named assistant, the dramatic show boating about your plans,
the grand revelation and it being October and all ..." Explained the
huge hamster.
Darken continued frowning, and asked, "What's that got to do with..."
"Can you spell Mrs. Frankenstien? Aw, Nevermind - You were saying
something about a demonstration?" finished the huge hamster while
shaking his head in experation.
"ah yes, My demonstration!" Said Darken, quickly grabbing up a crude
and scary looking syringe like device, "with the help of this Hisser
thorn and crude plunger system, I shall inject a harmless potion of
my concoction into your system." and jabbed White Wolf in the arm
with it, and quickly rammed the plunger home.
"OW! What the Smeg is in that?!?" Exclaimed the lighter furred
hamster jumping back away from the edge of his cage and grabbing his
forearm where he got stuck with it, then swaying woozily, he
finished, "hey, I suddenly don't feel so good."
"That first effects you'll feel is just a relaxant - it'll be a few
moments before the real potions properties takes effect, which will
be long enough for me to revive my moronic assistant to work the
pumps for the creature..." replied Darken, discarding the instrument,
and bending over to sit up his assistant, and slap his face a few
times.
<Moments later, after Egor was awake enough to work the pumps, and
the drug Darken had administered to White Wolf had started to take
effect.>
The sound of pumps went Goosh, goosh, goosh, as fluids of various
colors pumped through the tubes hooked up to the creature. Darken
carefully reached inside the cage and unwrapped the bandages, while
explaining, "Quite sometime ago one of my orc patrols reported
spotting this hymenoptera emerge from a hard shell which they
observed crashing into the ground from high into the sky. They
thought it was was demon. But from my early investigations via a
captured brainbug telepathy potion, I quickly discovered two things -
first, that these creature are naturally telepathic, and two this
particular individual was part of an advance exploration group
searching for worlds for harvesting by it's primitive and savage
race. It was only a matter of time, before I found out how I could
exploit their natural telepathy to my advantage."
Darken pulled off the last bandage to reveal the bug's brain sitting
in it's oozing half open skull, as the tubes washed several different
fluids over it to keep the tissue moist, "Now touch your paw to the
exposed brain matter here."
White Wolf recoiled visibly, remembering what had happened to the rat
to ventured too close earlier.
"You big Sissy, It ain't going to bite off your paw!" Yelled Darken
while grabbing White Wolf's paw and shoving over to touch the
hymenoptera's brain.
Suddenly it felt like the surrounding was melting away, to White
Wolf, as if it were being replaced by something else, an indistinct
red haze. There seemed to be a cacophony of voices speaking all at
once, and all around him. Suddenly Darkens voice peirced the
cacophony, and spoke commandingly, "You See? This is their group
consciousness, which I have learned to percieve, and utilize to my
advantage, Watch and learn, fuzzball."
The indistinct red haze focused, and suddenly White Wolf was
presented with an view of the Blue Dwarf quietly orbiting Citadellia,
when suddenly from seemingly out of no where, came a round, bulbous
and ten mile wide spherical Hymenoptera capital ship charging out of
the nebula directly at the Blue Dwarf, firing bolts of bright green
energy and launching several waves of Spider ships from holes in it's
side's in attack formation.
White Wolf suddenly mentally yelled, "NO!"
And suddenly White Wolf was back in the cage with Darken
smirking, "Yes, your ship is now under attack in the skies above us,
And there's not one thing you can do to stop them from destroying it
along with all your friends as I commanded.", Then Darken gave a
manical chuckle, as White Wolf suddenly dropped to the floor feeling
even more weaker than he had before.
Darken bellowed, "I see the last part of the paralysis is setting in.
Now, I can complete the final phase of my escape project!" the dark
furred hamster turnedg to his assistant and ordered, "Keep up the
pumping, While I get the skullcracker, and complete the transfer of
brains between their two skulls!"
-----------
OOC - This is it folks, time to rescue your hamsterish Captain! And
yes, the battle between the Blue Dwarf and the Hymenoptera capital
ship can be seen by everyone on the planet below.
(Okay, so maybe it'll look like a goofy battle between a five mile
long cigar and a ten wide basketball thing in your minds eye, but
give me a break, I don't have a star wars effects studio in my shirt
pocket to do it justice!)
