| Chapter 9 continued... Roseidous scratches his shaved head.� "What dispute?" "I don't know, I forgot.� All I know is that we've got to settle it." "Ah, okay, fine.� A duel, then?" "Yes, a duel." Roses sighs.� She looks over at Holli, and says under her breath, "You wanna leave these two morons to duke it out while we take over all of 'man-kind'?" Holli grins evilly.� "Sure!" With that, the two ladies depart, while Roseidous and Tyrael circle each other like two competing alpha wolves. "So, Baldy, ready to be humiliated?"� Tyrael taunts. "Hey, I just have a high widow's peak!" "Yeah, sure, whatever.� I'm gonna kick yer scrawny bald butt from here to Albuquerque.� That's about....half a mile from here." "You won't be cocky for long, little Spidey."� Roseidous, in a blur, whacks Tyrael in the head with the dead bunny, knocking Tyrael on his butt.� "Dead weight." Roseidous leaps toward Tyrael, swinging the lifeless bunny by the ears.�� Tyrael rolls to the left just as Roseidous lays some bunny-smack on the ground Tyrael had previously been laying on.� Tyrael somersaults back up to his feet, and ducks behind Crayak just as Roseidous takes another swing.� Crayak goes flying, landing far off, unconscious. "Hiding behind fourth dimensional being now, are we, Spidey-boy?"� Roseidous badgers. "Aw, shuddup!� You've got the bunny." Roseidous grins.� "That I do.� Now run little man!"� Roseidous cackles maniacally as he chases Tyrael around the room with the bunny held high. Flight of the Bumblebee music begins to play. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I know what you mean,"� Holli said as she and Roses walked back into the room.� "I can't believe they didn't have that shirt in lime green.� Now how are we suppsed to have matching evil uniforms?" "Well,"� Roses replied.� "Roseidous and I used to have matching uniforms.� Until he forgot to rescue me and left me in his electronic-something-or-other hair.� Can you believe that no one remembered to rescue me?"� she ranted as she watched Tyrael dodge yet another hit from the bunny as Roseidous swung it around. < |
