[Introduction] The Manimals were taking a break from their training for the Battles...Jim, Jordan, Bill, His Human Girlfriend Samantha, and Bob, were in a local Diner having a large meal and talking about last year's adventures

Bill finished his Chocolate Chip Milkshake...and said "So then Raphael said...'Being a turtle I come with my own personal cup! You on the other hand..."

Everyone burst out laughing, Jim sighed with pleasure as he finished the last of his Apple Pie, Than he looked out the window and saw...
Twiga    Jim looked out the window and saw...What looked like a Pteranadon Manimal!

"No! It couldn't be!" Jim said "Could it?"

"What are you looking at?" Bill asked

"Out there." Jim said "Looks like a..."

"No! Bill gasped "Couldn't be!"

Bill Jim and Bob rushed out... The Pteranodon was wearing nothing but tattered blue jeans and wrapping his long wings around himself

"My Name is Rodan." The Pterasaur said "I am looking for the one who killed my gradfather."

BBWOLF Turning 23 6/3    "Well why would you be looking for him?" Bill asked.

Rodan just growled. "Justice."

Twiga    Just then Rodan fainted...The Three Manimals caught him.

Meanwhile at Area 51 Bishop was personaly training the 'new recruits' as he called the children who had recently been turned into Manimals.

He taught them various military exersises and for a job well done he fed them pieces of hard candy.

A scientist came up "Sir." He said "I've found some interesting things from the captured Alien Reptile."

"What thing are we talking about?" Bishop asked


"Well the creature has the structure of an Anthropomorphic Hadrosaurus...After feeding it severel Earth foodstuffs I have discovered that Bananas put the male of the species in unsheduled rut...I had to tranquize the creature to calm him down."

"Interesting." Bishop said "These Traggs have a weak link in there near perfect armor."

BBWOLF Turning 23 6/3    "Bishop, I've just lost the security cameras in Coradors Five through Seventeen," said the paniced voice of one of the monitors.

"I guess that would be a problem," Bishop said, walking toward the television screens. "Is there any contact with the personel in those areas?"

"Yes," said the monitor. "They say that there is an intruder, armed with a varity of weapons, and wearing a cloak. The guy also seems to be skilled at hand-to-hand combat."

"Did we get any footage before the cameras went down?" Bishop asked.

"Some."

"Well let me see it."

Once the monitor got the playback working, Bishop could watch the intruder take out the cameras one by one with a crossbow, observing how the intuder made each move, and how it pulled the trigger with calculated percision.

"Interesting," he said. "Tell all personel to evacuate those areas and to avoid contact with the intruder. I'll go deal with him. It's not often that James Jefferson decides to pay a visit to my place."

Twiga    After he left, The Six year old Grey Squirrel Manimal Tipp Barrington sniffled

"I want my Mama." Tipp sobbed

"Did you hear what that scientist said?" Hadrian Marrows a Wolf Cub Manimal asked "He said he fed the Big Alien a Banana and it put him in a rut...Whatever that means."

Hadrian tiptoed over to a brown lunchbag that had been carlessly left unattended.

If a Banana put him in a rut let's see what feeding him an Apple will do!"

BBWOLF Turning 23 6/3    "Be careful," Tipp said. "It could be dangerous."

"What else is new?" Hadrian asked. "It's not like we're going anywhere."

Twiga    Meanwhile The Three Manimals Bob, Jim and Bill took Rodan to the apartment where Bob and his Mother lived

"If my Mother asks." Bob said tucking the half frozen Reptile in his bed "Just tell her I found a giant action figure in Comics Lot dumpster."

"Won't your Mom be curious why you tucked an action figure in your bed?"

"No." Bill said "She wouldn't question it."

Rodan stirred awake "You...took me to your home?" He asked

"Well you were about to freeze to death." Bob said

"I don't know who you are but...Thank you..." Rodan hesitated

"... It has been so long since I was last on Earth...I was just a small child when my Foster Mother Mezzle adopted me and took me to Ava..I never knew what I was excactly all I knew was I wasn't human."

BBWOLF Turning 23 6/3    "You were raised on Ava?"

"Yes," Rodan said. "My mother is a noble."

"Is she friends with the rulers? Revel and Gear?"

Twiga    "She knows the current rulers." Rodan said "Weather or not they are friends I can not say."

"What part of Ava are you from?" Bob asked

"Ore Tachi." Rodan said "It's a small town on Iridu Peninsula."

"Oh." Bob said "Is that close to to the island of Dimontina?"

"Yes very." Rodan said "It is where the majority of grain is produced for the whole western hemishere."

Jim came in with a cup of herbal tea "you seem pretty cold." Jim said "How about a nice hot drink to warm you up?"

"I don't know if I should." Rodan said

"It's OK." Jim "It's just Chamomile."

"But I'm not human..."Rodan said "I don't know how it will affect me...Well maybe a small sip."

He took a sip "My!" He said "I have never known anything that tasted so good!"

BBWOLF Turning 23 6/3    "Well, I could always get more if you want more," said Jim.

"Let me finish my cup first."

Meanwhile, James was taking a brief respite from his assult on Area 51.

Probably should of brought a few others, he thought as he reloaded his guns. I'm getting too old for this shit to do it all alone.

Twiga    Hadrian had snuck into the testing lab where the Tragg was being held.

He found the creature strapped to a large operating table.

The Tragg looked like a sky blue Duck-Billed Dinosaur with glowing red eyes and fin-like ears.

It was about the size of a large Bison...The scientist had determened that this young male was just an adolesant.

"Hi there!" Hadrian said warmly "I got you a presant!"

The glowing red eyes blinked

The Wolf Cub took the shiny red apple out of his pocket, in a flash the Tragg's long sticky tougue wrapped around the fruit and zipped back into his mouth.

"You feel any different?" Hadrian asked

The Tragg just let out a large belch

"I'll take that as a no." The Wolf Cub wondered what he should do next.

He then unstrapped the creature from the table just to see what he would do

BBWOLF Turning 23 6/3    "Let's see if we can get you out of here," he said.

"You, know, this, place?" the Tragg asked hoarsly.

"Somewhat."

Steve Ellen    
"What this place for?" Tragg said.

Hadrian shrugged. "I don't know exactly. It's not a very nice place, is it?"

"Not for me. I roam the plains. This place too hard and small. No sky. I not like this. I want out."

"I can show you the way to the exit," Hadrian said, "But there are guards. They won't let you leave."

"Show me. I decide. Maybe guards weak."

Twiga    James sighed hevely and prepared to move on, when he heard a deafening roar...

The Wall smashed, and a large dinosaur-like creatue smashed through

BBWOLF Turning 23 6/3    "Now what?" he muttered, as he pointed his revolver at the creature. Then he saw another figure, a smaller one.

Twiga    A small Gray Wolf Manimal...A Cub was following the large creature.

James grabbed the Cub's hand (Firmly but gently) "Who are you and why are you following that creature?"

"I let him out." The Wolf Cub said "I'm trying to set him free."

Meanwhile Ichabod was having an exsistanal crisis...He felt like bad things happened to him all the time...As if he were the cosmic plaything of some sadistic storyteller.

"What's the matter Ichabod?" Asked Sarah the Housekeeper "Don't you like my Clam Chowder recipe?"

"It's OK." Ichabod said putting down his half empty bowl "I'm not that hungry."

Ichabod felt strange...For some reason he felt something bad would happen...He went up to his room and looked out the window watching the falling snow.

Meanwhile...Someone DID have something planned for Ichy...Really Nasty too! An Elf, was making Wasabi in hopes to trap him.

BBWOLF Turning 23 6/3    "Oh I hope he likes this," the elf thought. "It's been for far too long that I've been alone. Finally, after all these years, I'll have the love of my life. Although he'll need a few more years to be of proper age to be my mate, but there's nothing wrong with making him my boyfriend, and going out on dates, and all that good stuff."

The elf then looked into a mirror and saw her long blond hair, green eyes and youthful face. "We'll be so perfect," she whispered softly.

Steve Ellen    

Then the elf laughed and revealed a mouthful of sharp teeth. She was not a good elf. She was one of the evil elfs. Poor Ichabod.

But Ichabod sat in his room looking out the window at the falling snow and feeling vaguely uincomfortable without really knowing why. "I should be enjoying this snow," he said. "Now school will be closed and I can have some fun in the snow... but somehow I still feel worried."

He sighed and took off his clothes to take a hot shower. Maybe that would cheer him up.

Twiga    As Ichabod showered he wondered about his Manimal friends Jim, Bob and Bill.. He would often wonder, What future did they have? What future could freaks like them hope to have?

Meanwhile Jim, Bob and Bill were asking Rodan all sorts of questions, About Ava, about his family but mostly about why he came to Earth.

"I did it because of my Grandfather." Rodan said "I guess he's not my real grandfather he was my foster grandfather."

"What happend?" Bob asked

BBWOLF Turning 23 6/3    "Well, from what I've heard, he came to Earth and just disappeared."

"Disappeared," Jim said, his eyes widening. He then turned to Bill and said, "Do you think that-?"

"It's posible," Bill said nodding his head.

"How are we going to be able to get him then?" Bob asked. "It's not like we know the place."

"What are you talking about?" Rodan asked.

"Let's just say we may know where your grandfather is," Bill said. "However, it's controled by a very powerful group."

Twiga    Bill put his hand to his chin and thought

"I wonder where James is now." Bill said wondering aloud .."He said he was going somewhere special for Christmas..."

Hadrian showed James the four other Cubs that were part of 'Project Z' As Agent Bishop called it

There was Tipp of course, and Andrew the Dragon...A Vampire Bat called Sarah and a Jackal called Beth.

Ichabod meanwhile felt he couldn't sleep...He felt as if something was calling his name, from outside his room

"I've got to follow that sound." Ichabod said

BBWOLF Turning 23 6/3    However, he stepped on a toy he forgot to put away, and lost his footing.

Twiga    Ichabod felt his head...He felt a bump on it and he lay back down...Nowing if he injured his head he should not strain it.

"Come on Ichabod Ol' Friend." Said a Voice "You don't want to go out there."

'Huh?" Ichabod thought rubbing his sore head 'Who said that?'

"I did." Said a Voice that sound suspiously like Louis Armstrong

Ichabod sat up and looked around...There was no one in the room...No one except the toy he forfot to put away that was now standing on its hind feet and...

Wait what?

It was Mr. Cat the stuffed Calico Cat that Jervous Tetch (AKA the Mad Hatter) had sent to Ichabod as a Christmas present for Christmas when he was one year old.

(He was called Mr. Cat due to Ichabod not being very creative with naming his toys)
"Come On Ichy Boy" Mr. Cat said "Why don't you go to bed and forget about all this nonsense? I'll get you an ice pack for that Goosegg on your head."

"How are you talking to me?!" Ichabod said "You're just a toy! A plush!"

BBWOLF Turning 23 6/3    "Maybe, maybe not," Mr. Cat said with a smile. "Then again, you could be knocked out."

Steve Ellen    
Ichabod pinched himself to see if he was dreaming. He couldn't even feel the pinch. Does that mean I am dreaming or not? Ichabod wondered. Maybe he was just numb from the bump on the head. Now where did Mr Cat go?

Louis Armstrong's voice came from the kitchen. "Somebody forget to fill the ice cube trays!"

Twiga    Mr Cat found a large block of ice

"This should clear Ichabod's headache." Mr. Cat said

Just as he said that someone came in the front door, Mr. Cat dropped the ice and fell limp as sack of rags less anyone freak out when they see a doll come to life.

Ichabod..Sighed and rubbed his head..."This is crazy!" He said "My Plushies coming to life."

"Not as crazy as you may think." Came a soft feminene voice."

Ichabod looked up it was the rag doll that had belonged to his mother Poison Ivy.

The Rag Doll jumped down from the cubbard shelf

"How about I make you some soup?" She said "I'm not as bad a cook as your Mother."

BBWOLF Turning 23 6/3    "Okay," Icabod said. "Now I know I'm going crazy. What's next? An elf hanging outside of my window?"

Steve Ellen    
"Do you own a plushie elf?" Rag Doll asked as she gathered together things for a soup.

"No," Ichabod said.

"Then that would break the pattern."

"What pattern? Oh, you mean this is about my plushies?"

"So far," Rag Doll said.

Mr Cat walked in with a bag of ice. "Put this on your head and see if it doesn't help that headache."

"Thanks," Ichabod said. "Why are you plushies being so good to me?"

Twiga    "Ever here of the Veleteen Rabbit?" Mr Cat asked

"Yes." Ichabod said

"It's based on a true story you know." Mr Cat said as rubbed Ichy's forehead affectionatly

"Really?" Ichabod asked

"Yes really." Came a young girly voice , It was Miss Moppet, the Ginger Kitty Doll in a Blue dress and white apron that Harleen Quinzel donated on the day Ichabod was (His father face palmed when he saw it, his mother thought was sweet)

"We all came to you hoping you would help us become real." She handed him a cup "Here is your herbal tea."

"Oh Thanks." Ichabod said figuring if this was a dream he better go with it "Miss Moppet." he asked "Where did you come from? I thought you were put in the garage three years ago."

BBWOLF Turning 23 6/3    "I guess that would explain this stain," the doll said pulling at her dress hem. "I've been trying to get it out for a while but nothing seems to work."

"Well, I'll see what I can do," Ichabod said. "But still, this doesn't seem real."

Steve Ellen    
"You used to talk to us all the time," Miss Moppet said. "Then for some reason you just stopped."

Ichabod shrugged. "Uh... do you think it could be because I GREW UP?"

Miss Moppet sighed. "That's so sad. You were such a cute little fellow."

"A guy can't stay little forever. Hold still. I think some baking soda might get this stain out."



Twiga    "Would you like Cream of mushroom soup?" Rag Doll asked "Or would you rather have Chicken and Dumplings?"

Ichabod thought about that for a second...than the phone rang

"Excuse me." Ichabod said he picked up the phone


"Hey Ichabod." It was Bill's voice

BBWOLF Turning 23 6/3    "What's the deal with waking me up?" Ichabod asked, not wanting to say anything about dolls coming to life.

"We may have some problems," said Bill. "We just found a kid in a situation simmilar to ours and James has dissapeared."

"Well, James does leave for days at a time you know," Ichabod said.

"Yeah but he tends to tell us where he is going. Not this time."

Steve Ellen    
"That's bad," Ichabod said. "Where are you? We need to have a meeting."

Twiga    "We're at my half brother's house." Bill said

"Well." Ichabod said "I'll see what I can do."

BBWOLF Turning 23 6/3    Ichabod then turned to look at the dolls.

"Well," he said. "I've got to go and help my friends."

"We'll be here waiting," said Mr. Cat.

Steve Ellen    
"Thanks," Ichabod said. "I guess... Wait a minute! I thought I was dreaming you could talk! Can you really talk?"

But Mr Cat just lay there limp and alert like the plushie he seemed to be.

When Ichabod walked into Bill's house Bill grabbed his arm and said, "This is serious! We're pretty sure James is in trouble."

"Why are you so sure?" Ichabod said. "Have you heard something?"

Twiga    Rodan had been bundled up in a blanket so much that he could not move...He looked around and wondered at the cooperation of the Earth people

"I've never seen such people who were so different from each other yet so comfortable with each other." Rodan said quietly to himself

Jim sat on the edge of the sofa and began to talk about What had last happened when he tried to get the Space Sword

BBWOLF Turning 23 6/3    "James told me that I wasn't ready to use it," said the young squirrel. "He said that the reason that I was able to use it before was because the situation was an emergancy."

"Yeah, the whole world was in danger then," Bill muttered. "But James is in danger now. Surely you can use the sword because of that."

"Doubt it," Jim said sighing. "Also, James said that I was lucky. He also took me into his weapons vault, got out a wooden sword, gave it to me and told me to fight him. The result was much like the time we went back in time and the two of you fought. The guy let me wear myself out, took the sword out of my hand, knocked me to the ground, and pressed the tip to my throat. The old wolf can hold his own better than the rest of us combined."

"That doesn't mean we can't help him," Bill said, looking at him. "He needs us. I can feel it."

"Maybe, but we don't know where he is," said Bob.

Steve Ellen    
"Then we have to find out," Bill said. "What we need is a seer or a prophetess or a good witch. Know any?"

Bob held his palms out. "Zheesh, how would I know any- wait a minute! What about that girl at the Diner who claims she is a witch? The one with the gold eyes?"

"Jennifer? She's no witch. She just thinks its cool to pretend to be one."

Bob wrung his hands. "Maybe she knows something. We don't know anything about witches. She might know a real one."

"So talk to her," Bill said.

Jim shook his head. "All this talk about witches is stupid. You're not going to find James that way."



Twiga    As James was being introduced to these young cubs who have been held captive...Sarah's (The Vampire Bat) Necklace began to glow.

James noticed at this point Sarah was the only one wearing any kind of jewlery

"Little Girl." He said "Where did you get that necklace?"

"The Men gave it to me." She said "Someone said I had the gift of 'Sight beyond sight' and gave it to me to help my powers develop."

BBWOLF Turning 23 6/3    "I doubt it," James said as he looked at the necklace. "If anything, it will slow your development down or give you false visions, or something along those lines."

"How do you know that?" Sarah asked.

"Let's just say that this isn't the first time I've seen something like this," James said. "Of course, that one was rigged with some type of explosive and the results were not pretty."

Steve Ellen    
"Ew," Sarah said. "I don't want my head to be blown off. You really think I should dump the necklace?"

"I really do," James said.

Twiga    Sarah took off the necklace and lay it down on the table.

James picked it up and exiamined it...It looked similar to the material the Space Sword was made of.

James saw the little silver stars in the black purple rock were sparkling

BBWOLF Turning 23 6/3    I better get this someplace safe he thought as he slipped the necklace inside of one of his pockets.

He then looked at the kids and said, "Now let's get you out of here."

Steve Ellen    
Meanwhile, Bob had talked to Jennifer and yes, she knew someone who could find lost people by using psychic methods. He was a witch named Talwick Harp and she knew where he lived.

When Bob and Jennifer entered Talwick Harp's house, he was wearing an old ratty bathrobe and coughing. Bob whispered to Jennifer, "He doesn't look like much. Are you sure he can do this?"

"Yes," she whispered back. "When my Kitty ran away last year he found her."

"That's it!" Bob whispered. "He found your cat! That's what your faith in him is based on!"

"I can hear you," Talwick said. "Yes, I can find lost things. I'm sorry if my being old and sick is unappealing to you."

"Well..." Bob said, "I guess that doesn't really matter if you can find James."

"James is the name of the missing person? Let me meditate." Talwick put his hand to his head and closed his eyes.

Twiga    James felt a sharp stinging pain behind his ear...He heard a voice behind him

"James! James where are you?"

Meanwhile Rodan was searching Bob's house for something to eat...It had been several hourssince he had last eaten

"I know I should ask my host first." Rodan said "But he left already and I'm famished!"

He opened the fridge and detected a distinct fishy oder...He saw something bright and red inside a plastic bag

Inside was a sockeye salmon...Rodan pulled the fish out by the tail

"How lovely!" He exclaimed "I really should ask...Maybe if I just have a taste..."

BBWOLF Turning 23 6/3    "Touch that fish and I'll have to see if my oven is big enough to roast you," said a deep male voice.

Steve Ellen    
"Whoa!" said Rodan, jumping back from the fish. "It's Bear Brown. What are YOU doing here?"

"I might ask you the same thing," Bear said.

"You might, but I asked you first."

"Fair enough. I've come to take you back to Area 51."

Rodan's beak fell open. "No!" he squawked. "I'll never go back there!"


Meanwhile, at the home of Talwick Harp, Talwick's eyes fluttered open and he came out of his trance. "OK, I've located your James."

"Where is he?" Bob asked.

"A place called Area 51. Ever heard of it?"

"Sure," Bob said. "I have to go tell Bill and Jim. Thanks, Talwick! Thanks, Jennifer! Good-bye!"

Twiga    James found himself in a network of tunnels with the five kids shivering behind him

"It can't be far now." James said "Now that we've made it past the main tunnel."

Rodan stared at the Brown Bear ready to take his first move of action

BBWOLF Turning 23 6/3    "Try anything and I'll kill you."

Steve Ellen    
"No you won't," Brown Bear said. "See this?"

He held up a sparkly-looking device and when Rodan looked at it, it flashed a bright light. Rodan fell over unconscious. Brown Bear picked him up and slung him over his shoulder.

"Those clever scientists," Brown Bear mumbled as he went lumbering off to Area 51 with Rodan bouncing on his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

Meanwhile, Bob had returned to Bill and Jim and informed them of James' possible location at Area 51.

"Let's go, boys," Bill said. "If James is in that foul place then he needs our help. They may have captured him for experiments."

"More likely he is trying to rescue someone," Jim said. "You know how our James always wants to be a hero."

"And he IS a hero!" Bob said, proud that he was a friend of James.

Meanwhile, James was facing a dead end tunnel with the sound of pursuers behind him. "Stay close, kids," he said to his five charges. "This is going to get even hairier than it already is."

Twiga    Sarah was frightened she never wanted to go back to captivity so when she saw a trio of mooks coming after them.

In nervous panic she let out a supersonic screech...It hit the Mooks and they fell down covering their ears

BBWOLF Turning 23 6/3    "Nice lungs," James said as he removed his hands from his ears. "Now to get you kids out of here."

"How will we do that?" Sarah asked.

"With the help of this," James said as he put a hand in one of his pockets and pulled out a drill-like device. "Slap this bad boy against whatever is blocking your path and it will drill a hole to the other side. It will go through anything, so be careful with it. Also put any loose rock and earth behind you and block this end off."

"What do you mean?" Sarah asked.

"Someone has to stay behind and lead these guys on a goose chase."

Steve Ellen    
"Me?!" Sarah screeched.

"No, silly!" James patted her head. "Me. While you guys get through the wall I'll lead our pursuers off in another direction."

"But what will we do without you?"

"Don't worry," James said. "On the other side of the wall you will be safe until I find you. Just don't stop running until you find a good hiding place."

"But, James, you won't know where we are."

"I know where all the good hiding places are out there and I have a nose that can find a chees cracker in a sausage factory."

Sarah had a puzzled expression. "What does that mean?"

"It means I will find you! Now hurry!"

Twiga    Meanwhile Rodan was beginning to come to his senses when he was put in Bear Brown's truck ready to be carted off to Area 51.

Someone had been watching however, Matoaka's Velociraptor Uncle He had been formmaly known as Eagle but due to his species change he changed his name to Fossil

"By the Great Spirit." Fossil said slowly "These people will regret hunting Manimals in My territory."

BBWOLF Turning 23 6/3    Just then, Fossil saw something punch through the engine block of the bear's truck, and heard a loud Ka-Boom.

Someone's shooting over there, he thought. And that means one of two things, either I have a friend who will help me save that kid, or there might be yet another hostile group that wants that kid. Of course, if I'm any expert at shots, that shooter might be James, or one who was taught by him.

Steve Ellen    
The truck coasted to a stop, its engine now useless. Bear Brown jumped out, threw Rodan over his shoulder again, and headed for Area 51. It was a long hike but Bear was strong. A rifle shot kicked up dirt about ten feet from his feet. He just kept plodding along. It was a gamble, but he didn't think the shooter would risk hitting Rodan.

Fossil glared at the shooter. "Stop it, you idiot! Do you want to hit the pterodactyl? I can see you are a lousy shot."

"It's not me! It's this gun! It's an antique."

Fossil stared at the young girl with the old black powder rifle. She had on a short buckskin skirt and her hair was done up in pigtails. "Well stop shooting. You're no Annie Oakley."

"I'm not Daisy Mae either," said the girl. "I thought you said we was going to stop that bear?"

"Not by accidentally killing the guy we're trying to rescue. Come on, we can move fast and get up ahead of them and set a trap."

Fossil and Winona (for that was the young girl's name) moved quickly through the underbrush and outflanked the bear who could only walk because he was carrying a load.

"This might be a good spot," Fossil said as he struggled to catch his breath. "You confront him here on the road. I'll run up behind him and snatch Rodan off his shoulder. The instant I have Rodan separated from him, then let him have it with your gun."

"I can only fire it once."

"So make that shot count."

Twiga    Sarah, Hadrian and all the other kids were almost home they could almost feel the breath of freash air.

Meanwhile Ichabod's toys could not help but worry and wonder about Ichabod.

Rag Doll was stirring a pot of soup...Mr. Cat played Chess with Miss Moppet

BBWOLF Turning 23 6/3    "I wonder what's going on," Miss Moppet mumbled.

"Well, I have a feeling that Ichabod is doing better than any normal kid his age," Mr. Cat said as he moved one of his pieces. "That's check by the way."

"Yes, I agree that Ichabod would be doing better than most kids his age," Miss Moppet replied as she looked at the board, searching for a safe spot to move her King. "After all, the kid can control plants, and he is part elf."

"It's the elf part that worries me," Rag Doll said as she turned to face the others. "There is one female elf out there, and I wouldn't want her to marry my child, if I had one."

"I know of the elf you speak of," said Mr. Cat as he watched Miss Moppet still trying to find a safe place for her King. "That is one crazy lady. We would be better off making a girlfriend for Ichabod, and one that doubles as a bodyguard too."

"And just how do we do that?" Miss Moppet asked as she finally moved her King. "It's not like we can bespell a mortal and force her to be his girlfriend/bodyguard."

"True, that is against the rules," Mr. Cat said as he moved a piece. "However, we could use our magic on one of the other toys. Oh, and it's cheakmate."

"What are you talking about?" Miss Moppet asked as she looked at the pieces on the board. "What toy would we bespell to fulfill those roles?"

"How about that one cat-girl doll?" Mr. Cat said, pointing over at a dusty stuffed toy that was hidden in the area between Ichabod's desk and bookcase.

"You don't mean Marzipan?" Rag Doll asked. "That poor thing hasn't seen the sun in over four years since she fell down there. He's probably forgotten about her by now."

"Lessens the chance that Ichabod would recognize her," Mr. Cat said. "I don't want him to know all that we can do."

"Good point," Miss Moppet said as she reset the pieces to the game. "It would be better if he, and she don't know that We woke Marzipan up, and set them up. I don't want that Witch-with-'B'-Substituted-for-'W' to figure out that we are still around."

"So, we're in agreement?"

"Yeah."

"Ey!"

Winona jumped out into the road in front of Bear Brown. "Stop, thief!" she yelled. "Put down that pterodactyl!"

"I didn't steal this reptile," Bear said. "He is scientific property and I am taking him back to the lab."

Behind Bear, Fossil made his move and snatched Rodan off of Bear Brown's shoulder.

"Let him have it!" Fossil yelled.

Winona fired her rifle: a terrific boom and a cloud of smoke.

"You shot me!" Bear said and grabbed his leg.

"Come on!" Fossil said. "Let's get out of here."

Fossil and Winona carried Rodan away while Bear Brown sat in the road with his hands clasped around his wounded leg. "I'll get even!" he yelled. "You won't get away with this!"

Twiga    Rodan jumped out of Fossil's arms and shook himself

"Thank you." He said "But who are you?"

Meanwhile back at Ichabod's house Rag Doll pulled out Marzipan from her hiding place and fed her a magic potion

As soon as she had consumed that purple potion Marzipan began to grow...She found herself transforming into an Anthropomorphic Cat-Girl.

"Whoa!" Marzi said "What the hell happened?"

"We made you real." Rag Doll said "Temporarily at least."

Meanwhile Hadrian and Tipp were digging together and they found themselves breathing fresh air.

Said fresh air smelled awful lot like potatoes and other vegatables

"We're free!" Hadrian said "And we're on a farm!"

BBWOLF Turning 23 6/3    "And we'd better get moving," Sarah said with a yawn. "I don't want to get shot at."

"Who is going to shoot you on a potato farm?" Hadrian said.

Sarah sniffed. "Uh.. the potato farmer? They don't like potato thieves."

"Unbelievable," Hadrian said. But he ran with the rest of them until they were out of the fields and into the woods.

Around 3am they stopped to rest.

"What's that noise?" Sarah said. "Did you hear it? A rustling in the underbrush?"

"You have good ears," James said as he stepped out of the forest.

"James! You found us! We made it out!"

"Yes, you did. You are free of Area 51. But we have to keep moving. They will follow your trail."

Twiga    Marzipan was a little confused at the whole goings on with making her real.

She was pink and purple colored, she was wearing a blue sweater with brown trousers, she had come from the same toystore Miss Moppet came from which spechilyzes in one of a kind toys

Meanwhile Rodan was talking with Fossil (Wionna decided to take a break to get Coffee)

"I was raised on anouther planet but was born on Earth." Rodan said "That Bishop fellow told me I was one of his gentetic experiments and I thought he was crazy."

"He may have been right." Fossil said "Look at the facts."

BBWOLF Turning 23 6/3    "And what facts are those?" Rodan asked.

"According to most of Earth's beliefes, only humans have any sentiancy," Fossil said with a chuckle.

"Then how do you explain us?" Rodan asked.

"Easy, we were mutated, in one way or another."

Twiga    End of Part One, Part Two will begin shortly

The End!
