Okie, been a while I know, but I finally got enough time at the library to type this up
Acid shook his head at Electrik. "What are you doing?"
Electrik glanced up from the aged speeder he was checking. "I can't believe they're using this thing. I mean, the circuits are almost fried, the engine casings are cracking, and it uses a fusion drive! I thought those were outlawed YEARS ago. Who owns this, anyway?"
"Electrik ..."
"Yeah, what?"
"I think they might."
"Who?" Electrik turned to see a group of tough-looking, angry Shellions, coming towards them. "OH."
"Can we leave? Like, now?" Acid said plaintively.
"Sure."
They began edging away. Acid glared at his older brother.
"What in blazes possessed you to even touch that thing?"
"It had a fusion drive!'
"So? What has that got to do with anything?"
"Everything!"
"I doubt it! It just doomed us, bro!"
"I admit, thses guys look like they cut their teeth on hand grenades ..."
"
Electrik!" Acid hissed, horrified. Electrik grinned sheepishly.
"Sorry, Acid."
"Not yet, you're not,' Acid said. "I think 'these guys' are going to make us a lot sorrier."
"You bet," one Shellion growled. Acid glanced at Electrik, who returned the look.
"I don't think talking will help here, 'Lec ..."
"I got that impression too."
"Shall we leave? Hastily?"
Electrik paused. "Wait a minute." He zapped the nearest Shellion, an electrical charge leaping from his hand. The thug keeled over.
Electrik's grin, however, faltered when the turtle hauled himself back up again, looking overly homocidal.
"Run?" Acid asked.
"Run," Electrik agreed.
The pair took to their heels, flying past the startled Shellions. "Acid, I'm sorry for everything I ever did to you," Electrik yelled. Acid blinked.
"Everything?"
"Well, maybe not
everything ..."
The brothers' innate fleetness allowed them to outrun the lumbering Shellions easily. Finally, they slowed.
"What were you thinking?" Acid bellowed at his no-longer-repentant brother. "
Were you thinking?"
"Let me think about this. No. You're supposed to be the intelligent one!"
"Yeah, well, that move was about as intelligent ... as Foo!"
"Heaven forbid," Electrik said, horrified. "Say I have more brains than him, please!"
"Well ... I have to admit ..."
"I promise it won't happen next time," Electrik said. Acid shook his head.
"'Lec, there won't BE a next time. From now on, leave strange speeders alone."
"Right." Electrik saluted. "Now, what were we doing?"
"Running ...?"
"Nono, before that."
"Shocking mad turtles."
"Rewind."
"Inspecting speeders?"
"Earlier ..."
"Ah. Heading to Carrotus Castle."
"Oh yeah."
"Oh yeah. Let's go."
Not much action, I'm afraid. It'll get better.
