Que Passa!!!!



And now...

Chapter 7:

Turtle Rock(Yeah, I know... I named this chapter after a level of "The Legend Of Zelda". So sue me.)



Spaz woke with a major headache. The last thing he remembered was noticing a bunch of carrots tied to a stick that was holding up a large cardboard box, and going for them. He had just been going to the video store with his small home cinema collection and his... HIS ROCK!

Where did his rock get to. Come to think of it- where did HE get to. If he didn't know any better, he'd say he was back in Devan's lab. Straining to get up, he found he was tied up in a bunch of rope, as well as a large gag.

"Oh... Hello there, Mister Bunny. Glad to see your awake. I made some Cocoa... Oh, wait a second- Boss told me not to take out the gag... Sorry." Spaz looked up and saw Devans henchlizard holding a large mug of Cocoa. AND a small baggy containing... HIS ROCK! He tried to say something, but could only make a muffled screaming noise. "Oh, don't worry. I just wanted to thank you for letting me borrow your rock. You see- Devan couldn't help noticing that rock glowing and giving you superpowers. He was hoping you would lend it to him for a couple of weeks while he sees if he can use it to take over your planet." He put the cocoa down. "And as a token of his gratitude, you get this wonderful commemorative T-Shirt." He revealed a shirt with a picure of a smiling Devan holding a scale model of Carrotus. Underneath were the words 'I reluctantly helped Devan Shell take over my home planet... and all I got was this lousy T-shirt.' The lizard nonchilauntly tossed it into Spaz's lap. "100% cotton-like fibers- dry clean only. Well, I'd love to stay and chat, but I gotta give this rock to my boss. This world isn't gonna take over itself, you know. Toodles!"



"You took a lot longer then you usually do." said Devan angrily. "You really don't need to be that polite to the enemy ALL the time." "But boss- remember what Ms. Manners always says: 'Being bent on world domination is no excuse for rudeness to your archnemeseseses'..." "Yeah, well I don't really recall that... but whatever. Nice job at getting the rock. If it works, you might just have a bonus comming your way." "OH BOY! Thanks Boss." Devan grabbed the rock... Like with Jazz, and Lori, it glowed brightly, but this time it was a lighter shade of green then it had been when Jazz touched it.

"Do you feel any more powerful, Boss?"

"Not particularly..."

"But Boss... It's glowing- just like it did before when the rabbit got superpowers!"

"That seems to be the ONLY thing its doing!" said Devan, looking himself over. "I'm not flying, turning invisible, growing to gigantic size or anything even remotely resembling a superpower. What am I doing wrong here?" Both of them thought for a minute, then they started to hear a bunch of soft dropping sounds outside the lab. "Sounds like it's raining, Boss. Could that be a superpower?" "Hmm... Maybe I got control over the weather- like that one white-haired lady in the comics... Nah, must be some kinda coincedence..." he turned, and started for the section of the lab where Spaz was being held prisoner. "It may not be as easy as just holding the thing. Looks like a little interigation is in order here." "Inter... igation?" "We're gonna have to beat up the rabbit to get him to tell us what to do."



Meanwhile, just outside Devan's lair.

"Ouch!" Lori felt something small and hard hit her on the forehead. Instinctively, she looked up and saw a large off-color cloud floating overhead. "Great! What a time for it to be...OW!... hailing." One of the small hard particles hit Eva. "OW! That's weird...OUCH! Never seen a cloud that color before..." Something was strange about the rain too, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Jazz held out his paw, which quickly filled up with small, mulicolored pellets. "Hey guys!" he said to his companions. "This isn't hail... It's Jellybeans." "Huh." "Take a look!" Jazz held out his paw, revealing a bunch of the small candies.

"That tears it!" Lori said, trudging through the, rapidly deepening, pile of jellybeans to the lab. "That ugly turtle's got his hands on that rock... AND Spaz. Knowing Devan, it's only a while before he figures out how to use it."

Eva turned to Jazz. "Knowing Devan, we could all just wait out here while he screws things up all by himself..." She put a couple of the jellybeans in her mouth. "...Or buries his lab in sweets." "Yeah... But it's not quite as fun that way." Jazz deadpaned, as he followed his sister, with Eva close behind.



Will the rescue team get to Spaz in time? Will Devan find out how to work the stone? Who will the stone's next victim be? Are any of those jellybeans raining down outside the nasty kind that tastes like rancid toothpaste? What would happen if somebody like Bill Gates were to touch the rock?
