CHAPTER 3: animals

“My head hurts. Where’s my coffee maker?” Acid was the first to recover. He suddenly realized something was not right.
Specifically, they were not in his office, or on the other side of the gateway, or anything like that. They were in a small enclosure. There was a small pool, a water tray, a bowl that contained what looked like brown sludge, and pretty much nothing else. His companions woke up shortly, groaning and stretching. Foo immediately clamped onto Acid.
“Foo ish shcardish! Foo ish vewy VEWY MRRFLSH!” Foo tried to say, but Acid, eliminating any dignity he had left, had stuck his fist into Foo’s mouth. They all looked at each other.
“Hey-where’s Fawriel?”
Nobody knew the answer. They just stared at each other blankly for a few moments.

After waiting a while with nothing happening, Acid decided to investigate a little more. He saw a sign, and tried to make sense of it.
“Zoo hours: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM?” Realization dawned in a few seconds. “WE’RE ANIMALS IN A ZOO?!?!?”
Everybody was startled by his outburst, and looked shocked at the sign he had been reading.
“Apparently so. We are in a zoo. Incidentally, who knows what time it is?” asked Jack.
“9 hours, 25 minutes, 33 seconds and 57 hundredths of a second, at time of reading.” Replied Acid promptly.

“Well, I for one am not going to sit around and be goggled at for 8 hours.” Said Jack, and reached for his weapon. Or at least, where his weapon would have been if it had been there. “AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!”
“They took our weapons. THEY TOOK OUR WEAPONS!!!!!” Shouted Acid.
“HEY! THEY TOOK MY BACKPACK TOO!!!” Yelled Batty Buddy. He did not look happy at all.
“FOO!”
“Well, there’s one thing they didn’t take…” said Electrik. “Me.”
“What do you have to do with anything?” Asked Acid glumly. Electrik zapped him.
“Don’t you realize? My fur is electrically charged? Do you think they would be able to get rid of that?” said Electrik exasperatedly.

He tried a few experimental zaps at the wall. Then he tried blasting it with full power. The wall was without a scratch, and Electrik was knocked unconscious.
“Well, that’s just great…” muttered Acid.

Chapter 3. 4I falcon was wondering why my story was called Animals. Now you should know.

Yes, I am being a bit secrative about who is there, but I actually haven't quite made a complete decision.

Sorry about the big delay, but I'm lazy. Bleah.
