Scaring the Guards

6. Of Rats and Ghosts

Previously on Scaring the Guards: the horrory trio has made it safely through Dr.Ruskenstein's portal, only to find themselves deep in the London sewer system. To make matters even more complicated, they are being hunted by Count Dracula, who has a score to settle with Mummy, and his underworld ally, the Ratman.

Unaware of what was stalking them, the horrory trio had made it to a stairway, which led to a subway station. Zombie examined the board.

"Hey guys, I found a subway that stops at Buckingham Palace!"
"When does it arrive?" Dragon asked.
"Few more minutes!"

Suddenly, and without warning, rats swarmed the platform. People started screaming, Mummy released cobras to eat the rats, Dragon roasted them to a crisp, and Zombie ate a baby while the others were doing all the dirty work (darn bad guys).

More rats came up the stairs, followed closely by Ratman. Zombie looked up from her meal and threw some sharpish bones at the giant rodent. Ratman shrugged them off and swatted her, sending her flying to the edge of the platform.

A subway pulled into the station. Mummy shot out some wrappings grabbed Zombie and Dragon, pulling them on the train with him. The train driver was so scared of the rats that he immediately drove off. However, Ratman jumped on the back, holding on with his tail. He kicked in a door and rampaged through the carts.

Mummy heard him coming and blasted a wave of burning hot sand at Ratman, who got burned real bad. His fur got torn away by the sand but he survived and slammed head-on into Mummy, who crashed against the wall. Dragon spat fire but Ratman's tail hit her from the side and knocked her unconscious. Zombie distracted him with a swarm of flies and tried to get the others up, without much success.

Suddenly everything went eerily quiet. The lights flickered creepily and white smoke filled the room. Ratman's​ eyes nearly popped out of his skull as a ghost materialised in front of him.
