Or it might be a trap. I'm willing to bet that Eustace knows we are coming to get her. But I agree that we should investigate.

*sneaks towards house*

*is suddenly ambushed by Eustace's henchmen*


NO!


*attempts to fight off attackers, but is overpowered by sheer numbers*


*Eustace walks forward, chuckling*

Eustace: Well, well, well. Right on schedule. It is jolly good to see both of you again, and so soon! Thank you for falling into our little trap. I must say, that was almost too easy. Is your worry for your missing comrade really clouding your mind that much? Makes my job easier, at least. Now, ladies, if you would be so good as to read us that map? Which way to the grave?

Me: No way! Why should we help you?

WW: *glares*

Eustace: First of all, I am offering politely. You know very well I could simply take it from you. This way, at least you'll have something to do before your impending doom. Secondly, your friend Spike? She'll be dead within the hour unless you cooperate.

WW: He's lying, Rat Lady. Don't believe him for a second!

Me: Yes, but...how else would he have lured us out here? It had to be them who kidnapped Spike and planted the note. If they have her...

Eustace: *smiles knowingly*

Me: *clutches map in nervous indecision*

[Beks]

Me: *scowls at the surrounding henchmen then back at Eustace's sneering face* You win this round, Strych, but make one slip-up, and you're gonna pay. I still haven't forgotten what happened back in Egypt.

Eustace: I would expect no better, Writer Woman.

Me: *gives Rat Lady the faintest of winks, disguised as a grimace* Give him the map, Rat Lady.


(PS: NEW SMILIE!!! :w00t: )

[RocksmySocks]

*gives a slight nod to Writer Woman*

Alright... *feigns reluctance and hands the map to Eustace*

[Beks]

Eustace: *opens the map importantly and stares at it over his nose* Hm...interesting...*folds it back up* Seems as though we will be traveling towards the Junkyard. It would be nice to drop in on my old business partner. Men, move the prisoners to the supply wagon with the others. Oh, and make sure to keep this one *he pointed at WW* completely locked down. Tie her up with that rope hanging from her belt or something.

Me: *curses under breath*

[RocksmySocks]

Me: It'll be alright, Writer Woman. We'll get out of this mess -


*gets cut off by henchman*

Henchman: Hey, no talking!


*henchmen takes supply pack*


Henchman: Ooo, pudding cups! *slurps down*

Me:...Oh you did not just eat my pudding cups. You will regret that, my friend.


Henchman *looking nervous*: I uh...I said no talking!

(Um, is this the NORMAL Eustace?! If so, then think the gang would show up in this eventually, since Jimmy most likely received an alert about this, or is this STILL in the distant future?!)

[Beks]

(The Neutron Knights are always in the distant future, Emily. Sorry to say.)

Me: But you know even I can't break out of my rope! :unsure:

[RocksmySocks]

*I smile slightly, looking down at my "bound" hands*

Don't worry. I'm not tied with your rope.

*secretly, I show a frayed end of a rope from around my own wrists*

*Writer Woman gives a confused look*

*mouthing back* Ratty.

[Beks]

Me: *looks critically at the supply carriage that they had just been dumped into* Supplies? This is just full of gold coins! But considering who we're dealing with, this is all the supplies he's ever needed. If only Queen Mara was with us. We could save the day AND get some of this gold.

[RocksmySocks]

Sigh. I just wish I knew where they were holding Spike.

[JimmyxxCindy4EVER]

(The Neutron Knights are always in the distant future, Emily. Sorry to say.)

Me: But you know even I can't break out of my rope!  :unsure:

(But WRRRRRYYYYYYYY??????????!!!!!!!!!!! If there isn't one, then I'll just make a topic where it IS in the present-day!!!!!!)

Me: *disintegrates the ropes binding us, my hands glowing bright orange*

[RocksmySocks]

(Sorry, Emily. This is what this adventure is about. The Neutron Knights did not exist back during the days of Jimmy Neutron. And me and Beks are on this part of the adventure ourselves at the moment, because the other Knights have another task. I can't remember who was in charge of the other task...Isaac? You can join in his task.)

[Beks]

I thought for sure that she would be held with us, but Eustace seems to have grown wiser in this department. I think the best thing we can do is enjoy the free ride to the graveyard. I can't think of any way we can get around that. Without the map, I haven't the faintest clue how to get to it, and I'm not willing to risk anyone's life by trying to get it back.

[RocksmySocks]

I agree. At least my hands will be free for when we get there.

*settles in for the ride*

[Beks]

While we're here, I feel like snooping around the supply wagon. Maybe there's something here worth 'borrowing.' Mind untying me?

[RocksmySocks]

No problem.

*unties*

[JimmyxxCindy4EVER]

Me: *disintegrates the ropes binding us, my hands glowing bright orange*

(Did you forget about this??)

[RocksmySocks]

(Emily, you aren't with Writer Woman and me right now, so that doesn't work. We are on a mission alone, and we have something we need to do.)

[JimmyxxCindy4EVER]

(Sorry, misunderstood. -_- -_- -_- )
