Pandora and I were trying to herd the kids out of the Cafeteria while the guys distracted the creatures. Even watching them was annoying. Every time they were attacked, they either reform back to the way they were, or they bend themselves out of the way. Its RIDICULOUS!
The last of the kids left and at the same time Grossman and two other kids came into the room. They looked at the situation. Gross said, "Hey. Where's Dex?" I looked at him in shock. "I thought he was with you!" The skinny kid to his right said, "Don't worry. We can handle this." I looked at him. "And you are....?" He smiled. "You can call me Bugg." I looked at the other kid. He was really short. He answer my unsaid question. "Name's Wyatt. Don't let the size fool ya." He pulled out a deck of cards and did a one handed shuffle. I was a little ticked already so I had no patience left. "Oh, great. You going to offer a game of Poker? Or Go-fish?" He smiled. "Have a little faith will ya?"
They charged towards the monsters. Bugg sprouted insect wings from his back and shot stingers from his fingers. At one point during the battle, Bugg picked up a table that was drilled into the ground and threw it at one of the beasts. Wyatt threw cards that each had a different effect. The first one wrapped them up in glowing ropes. Another card shot fire when he held it out.
Grossman, uh, used his abilities as well. They seem to be working. The creatures, Dr. Quake included, are being knocked out. Dr. Quake is stumbling. He laughs and says, "Aw. You're no fun. Master has what she wants anyway." I found myself close to the scene. I questioned him. "Who?" I asked. "Who is she? And what is it that she has?" He was on his back and he grinned. "I think you knoooowww." Then he conked out and I literally saw Zs coming out of his mouth and floating into the air.
Who is he talking about? I took out my cellphone and called Dexter. No answer. He always answers, even when he's working on something. I turned to Grossman and he got my message. "Bugg, Kenny." He said, "Go to the lab and find Dex. The rest of us need to settle down the school." I turned to the Quack and his little friends. "What about them?" Wyatt put his hand up. "I got this." He tossed a card to the air and, in a flash of light, made the cartoons disappear. The card returned to his hand and he showed the picture to me. The Cartoons were on the card, and they were posing, like in a card game or something.
"Oooooo-Kay." I said. "Lets go tell everyone its OK to come out now."
