《Cynthia gets Flushed Away》Chapter 7
Advertisement
A loud boat honk was suddenly heard as the gang was startled awake.
"Wakey-Wakey" Rita told them, smiling
"You could've just told us it was time to wake up" Kali playfully teased Rita, while giving a smirk.
"We're getting close to Kensington" Rita informed the gang. "Tie down anything loose. It's going to be a bumpy ride".
"Aye aye captain" Roddy replied.
The gang got up and stretched themselves awake before they then got to work.
"Ew, Cynthia, you know you drool when you sleep" Ann said, wiping the saliva off the sides of her body, since she slept right next to Cynthia last night.
"You can't prove that's mine!" Cynthia protested before she felt drool all over her face and quickly wiped it off, not being very lady like.
As the gang got to work, Kali thought she heard a faint sound of an accordion playing, but then it stopped. "Hm" Kali shrugged her shoulders, forgetting about it and got back to work with the others.
Cynthia then started tying down the loose parts of the boat, when she had help from a green hand. "Ah thank you" Cynthia felt relieved.
"You're welcome" A green figure then appeared, revealing to be a frog.
"AAAHH, FROGS!" Cynthia screamed as she quickly backed away. She hated frogs, more than she hated rats.
"Bonjour!" "Bonjour!" "Bonjour!" "Bonjour!" "Bonjour!" a squad of frogs suddenly appeared on the boat one by one.
"Bonjour!" Cynthia felt someone tap on her shoulder and turned around to see another frog. She then fainted, but only for a brief minute.
"Who invited you on board?!" Rita glared at the frogs. "Hop it! Hop it!" she told them.
"Ah, the English little girly, she's so aggressive" A small frog wearing a black suit, with a mustache and accent then appeared.
"Ugh, Le Frog" Rita groaned while she glared at the french frog.
"Le who?" Brock asked.
"Rita you know this Germanist?" David asked.
"I'm French" Le Frog told David with a small scowl.
"He's the Toad's mercenary cousin" Rita explained to Roddy and the rest of the gang.
"Is that even a real French accent?" Teeders asked Le Frog sarcastically.
"It's as real as your stupid American stereotypes!" Le Frog insulted, before coming down over to Rita. "I like a woman with a little fire" he grinned cunningly before kissing Rita's hand until she slapped him across the face.
"You're going to pay for that, my little chocolate croissant!" Le Frog glared. "But first, a word from our sponsor. Marcel" Le Frog snapped his finger.
A mime frog then came forward with a cellphone attached to his chest. He did a few hand gestures while the rats looked at each other, a few shrugging their shoulders, confused before the phone rang and it was answered to none other than The Toad as he gave a devious laugh at the group of rats.

"Ugh, I should've known" Rita sighed, rolling her eyes.
"Well done Le Frog, I salute you sir" The Toad said, while the mime did all the hand gestures for him. Le Frog just shrugged his shoulders like no big deal, knowing he was better than the hench-rats.
"Now then Rita, hand it over" The Toad glared at the street scavenger rat.
"Hand what over?" Rita asked.
The Toad growled at her "This dance of deception must end, return what you have stolen from me. Enough dancing!" The Toad yelled, realizing the mime was dancing around, making him look like an idiot.
"I don't have it anymore, it was a fake anyway" Rita replied.
"What?" The Toad questioned, scratching his head for a moment. "Oh the ruby!" He said before he started to laugh uncontrollably like a crazy person.
"He's cuckoo, but family" Le Frog told Kali's gang. The teens nodded in agreement that all families were like that.
"Oh this is rich" The Toad portrayed. "The ruby was such a pretty thing. But nothing when compared to the master cable".
"The master what?" Rita and the gang asked.
Cynthia groaned "The cable! The one Rita's now wearing as her belt" she pointed out.
"Precisely" The Toad said.
"Wait a minute! How do you know about this Cynthia?" The gang of teens asked their friend, now getting extremely suspicious of her that something was going on.
"Uh..." Cynthia started sweating and getting really nervous. But before she could say anything, the gang was cut off-
"Well if that's all he wants" Roddy said to Rita. "Hang on" Rita told him.
"What do you want it for anyway?" Rita asked the Toad.
"Oh you'll see, come the World Cup final this afternoon" The Toad proclaimed before laughing evilly out of control again.
"The World Cup final?" Roddy said as the gang all looked at each other.
"I wonder what he means by that" The twins added.
Le Frog then calmed his cousin down before explaining his plan to kill the rodents and get the cable back. When Roddy noticed a sleeping fly on an empty tin.
"Okay men, to action!" Le Frog told his team of hench-frogs.
"We surrender!" The hench-frogs suddenly put their hands in the air.
"Typical French people" Teeders said to the rest of the gang. Since this reminded them of what they learned in history class on what the French did during the world wars.
"No! Not that one you idiots, the kung-fu thing!" Le Frog ordered his hench-frogs, embarrassed. "Oh" the hench-frogs then started showing off their ninja moves to the rats.
"They don't look so tough" said David.

"Yeah we can take them" The twins added.
"I've got a plan" Roddy whispered to Rita and the others. Kali and the gang then noticed the sleeping fly on the tin and smiled, nodding to Roddy.
"Go for it!" Rita told Roddy.
Roddy then stomped down on the tin and the little fly was launched into the air. "Fly at twelve o'clock!" Roddy called out, pointing the fly out to the frogs.
"Oh bother" The fly panicked. All the frogs suddenly launched their tongues out, expect Le Frog who forcefully pulled his back. All the frogs had gotten tongue-tied up together.
"You fools! Grab them!" The Toad said. Rita then jumped into action, climbing on top of the boat to grab a passing tree branch and hooked it onto all of the frog's tongues.
"You rats! This is not over!" The Toad shouted out.
Le Frog then pounced on Rita, attacking her. "Hey!" Kali glared as she, Teeders, and David jumped on Le Frog, trying to help Rita fight him off.
"Roddy! The rapids!" Rita cried out, warning him of the danger they were in.
"Oh No!" The gang gasped, seeing that they were heading for the pipe that led to the water tower. Cynthia and the twins tried to help Roddy steer the Jammy Dodger away, but the current was too strong and pulled them into the tunnel.
"En garde!" Le Frog launched his tongue out to attack the rats.
"Hit me with your best shot Frenchy!" David taunted Le Frog, holding his fists out ready to fight.
"Rita, we're going over!" Roddy and the others panicked as the waterfall was straight ahead.
"Well do something!" Rita told him, struggling to fight off Le Frog.
"Hurry the boat is tipping over!" Cynthia panicked.
"No Cindy, you just broke your heel" Kali said out of annoyance.
"WORSE!" Cynthia exclaimed.
The gang was about to go over the falls. When with quick thinking, Roddy pulled the lever and out came the mechanical hand thing to grab onto a pipe.
Kali, Teeders, and David had clutched onto the edge of the boat as they almost fell out. While Cynthia was clinging onto Teeders legs, and the twins with Kali's, the teens were like the barrel full of monkeys. Roddy almost fell out too, but Rita caught him by the hand.
"Au revoir, Mon Cheri" Le Frog then laughed as he came down and took the cable from Rita. But not before passing Cynthia and causing another rip in her dress.
"Keep your flippers off me!" Rita growled at Le Frog before he laughed and headed to the top of the pipe.
"I have triumphed! You stupid English, with your Yorkshire pudding, and your chips-n-fish. You thought you could defeat Le Frog?" The french amphibian asked the rats, before kicking off the mechanical hand one finger at a time.
The gang screamed as they were plummeting to their deaths until Roddy spotted a parachute.
"Nibble for your life!" Roddy told the gang. Everyone started biting on the ropes and the parachute burst open just in time to save them. Kali and Teeders backpacks quickly shifted into their jet-packs as they grabbed onto the twins, while Cynthia and David held onto the parachute for the moment with Roddy and Rita.
Le Frog laughed evilly in victory until the gang floated back up and Rita grabbed the cable from him. "My belt, I think" she smiled while the others waved farewell to the french frog.
"You rodents!" Le Frog yelled at them in fury, while shaking his fist.
The gang looked to see the Jammy Dodger sink in destruction. "Goodbye Jammy me old mate" Rita frowned, as she had lost her boat for good.
The gang then flew up out of the water tower and soon to see they were floating over the city.
"Wahoo!" Kali and her friends cheered, loving the feel of the wind in their hair.
"Now this is living!" David cried out in joy, while Cynthia tried her best to stay calm but kept screaming.
"We're OK, we're OK, we're OK, we're OK" Roddy told himself, being scared with his eyes closed.
"Try opening your eyes" Rita told him. Roddy did so and he screamed, holding onto the parachute bag for dear life.
"We're over Kensington" Roddy said.
"Yeah, only a terrifying 900 foot drop between you and a nice comfortable bed" Cynthia told Roddy while she continued shaking in fear.
David and Cynthia then jumped onto Kali and Teeders backs while they continued flying with their jet-packs.
"Where's your house then?" Rita asked Roddy.
"Right now, let me see" Roddy started to have a good look around. "Try and go left" Roddy told Kali and Teeders, as they helped steer the parachute bag in the right direction.
"Oh this is going to be tricky" Roddy told the gang.
"Oh yeah, and everything else's been a piece of cake" Rita playfully teased, after all that's happened to them.
"Alright here we go" Roddy told the gang while holding Rita's hand.
Kali and Teeders moved the parachute over a few chimneys. "45, 47, 49... Now!" Roddy told the gang.
Roddy and Rita then let go of the parachute and went down into the chimney, quickly followed by Kali, Teeders and the gang after they turned off their jet-packs. Everyone screamed as they fell down into the pitch black chimney.

MANTIS: On Hiatus
Two young adults who were childhood friends are killed amidst a pandemic worse than our own. After many years apart, Rihelah was on her way to see Michael, hoping to rekindle their friendship on the day they would both lose their lives. The pair are unwittingly selected to represent Earth in a test set forth by godlike beings who are intrigued that our world gave rise to complex life without having been intentionally seeded by their kind. Michael and Rihelah are reincarnated as predatory insects upon a distant planet called Edon. Elves, Dwarves, Dragons and their kin, Goblins, Ogres, Humans, Lizardfolk, Orcs, and sapient arthropods known as Enkelyn all inhabit this beautiful world touched by magic. The tiny mantids must survive terrified and very much alone upon arrival, while neither is aware that the other has also been reincarnated upon the same island. Naked in their new chitinous exoskeletons, they must now brave the terrors of an alien world's food chain. Each will benefit from their years of experience on Earth, but they must somehow find a balance between old lives and new. Moderate mindsets and peaceful values from a mostly safe and privileged life on Earth must now contend and somehow coexist with the strange physiology of a new and unfamiliar body as well as the violent aggressiveness of a predator's mind. To top things off, the pair are about to find themselves struggling with their inner turmoil while swept up by terrible conflicts they know nothing about. Both endure the hardships of their new lives while attempting to understand and make proper use of a mysterious and terse video-game-like System that pops status notifications into their vision from time to time, but initially has no useful interface. Some of the options they are presented with sound enticing, but as with everything else in life, each choice has benefits and drawbacks... Author's Note: This story makes many changes to the original version, and readers of Mantid will find that many things in Mantis are new and different; especially after the first few chapters. I've learned a ton from writing like a madman, and also from the RR community. I appreciate you guys! :)
