| You sprint past the
booby traps. Behind you, you hear the Green Knight coughing, then
yelping as an arrow passes through him. You look back as the Green
Knight trips over the sleeping lion, who roars -- but then says, "Oops!
Sorry, boss!"
"You moron! Get that knight!" You reach the bridge. Turing the Tester, wizard extraordinaire, is blocking the entry with his staff turned horizontally. "Halt!" he declares. "You must answer my question!" Just then, you hear the low-throated moan of a wild cat -- only it's the motorcycle, roaring to a sstop aside you. Rocky, wearing goggles and cap and scarf, smiles at your puzzled stare. "We've got gas," he says. "I invented some!" He pats the back of the motorcycle seat. "We can jump this chasm on my motorcycle," Rocky says. "The distance is only, what, five feet across." "Five hundred," you correct, wiping the mud off his goggles. "Oh," he says. Green Knight and Giant Man-Eating Lion storm down the hill toward you. |
