Our heroes drove slowly past the sign that said 'Welcome to Cufthill'. Two of them were deeply concerned about the next few hours, while the third one was patting the mushroom and whispering some babble to under its cap.
"We probably should keep our eyes open, we don't want to get shot or something." - Froggy was cautious as usual.
"You got it, Ted." - Goldy nodded quickly.
"Why are you so tense, chill out! The LO is basically ours!" - Fishy said, still patting the mushroom lying on his knees. The red eyes and lousy tone of his voice indicated a rather strong high - the space cookies apparently were indeed twice as strong as regular blunts. Goldy regretted giving his principal all of those in one shot, after he found the mushroom in the forest. It probably wasn't safe after such a long period of abstinence.
"I missed being blazed so much, boyys! Gotta give you permission to bake more of those cool cookies. Where did you even find those?"
"A benevolent friend of ours gave them to us, to help you recover after your captivity" - Goldy said, still looking cautiously around the area.
"Oh yea? He's gonna be given my youngest daughter as a wife.. As soon as she hits her 16!"
"Well, they say age is just a number.." - Froggy said, shaking his head. He also could hardly believe that Fishy indeed remembered that he had a daughter and also knew her age.
His daydreaming was cut short by gunfire. Bukky's thugs!
"Oh darn! Deeefensive positiaans!" - Fishy said, taking cover under the car's door. - "Give me the bloody gun, boi!"
Goldy gave him the weapon without a word. He highly doubted Fishy's ability to aim properly in this state, though.
"Watch and learn, slaves." - Fishy said, leaving his cover and firing at the approaching thugs in the vehicle. He wasn't too accurate, but he managed to kill a bypassing cat and blow one of their tires. That stopped the pursuers.
"They surely warned the other patrols of our position! Move, driver! Pedal to the metal!" - Has Fishy forgotten the name of his Watson?
"Giving her all she's got, captain!" - Froggy accelerated as much as his puny compact was capable of.
They finally reached the IIIrd LO. Froggy wasn't stopping, the wall was closer and closer.
"Stupid piece of junk! The breaks are down! Everyone, abandon ship!" - Froggy shouted, and leapt out of the vehicle, performing a maneuver he saw in the movies. His comrades did the same. They came out with only minor bruises, though the same couldn't be said about the car. It kept going towards the IIIrd LO. It finally crashed into the wall. Shortly after, it exploded, revealing a huge breach.
"Well, that was unexpected." - Goldy summed the situation up.
"I knew I shouldn't have kept the mining explosives in my trunk." - Froggy said. - "What? Why are you looking at me that way? It's for the sake of geographical experiments!"
While Goldy was shouting at Froggy for endangering their lives for all the previous time, Fishy was desperately digging in the dirt near the breach. His untrimmed nails made this way easy.
„My poor mushy! All blown up! Where are you, my precious?!"
Instead of mushroom bits, Fishy dug up a foil package. When he took it out and unrolled the foil, he revealed an awesome longsword with modern engravements.
"Ha! And you told me that it was a shitty idea to hide a weapon in the dirt! Now Bukky is gonna get bested hard, even though I still miss the idea of poisoning him.." - Fishy took his weapon and made his way through the breached wall. His companions followed.
Inside, students were running around in panic, the bell ringing was signifying that it was time for mass evacuation.
"Mwahaha, suckers! Fishy is back with a BANG!" - Fishy said, stabbing a random teacher who was trying to run past him. The unfortunate victim slumped to the ground, bleeding heavily.
"Maybe you should avoid civilian casualties, sir?" - Goldy gave a slight hint, trying not to look at the massacred person.
"Hmm, maybe you're right. Let's save this blade for Bukky and his pawns. I'm going to pay the wergild to the unlucky man's family later." - Fishy said, after what he went upstairs, followed by his companions.
He didn't even make it past half the corridor when Bukky along with several armed teachers stood in his way.
"Well, well, who do we have here! The Fish himself swam right into my net! There is no escape now!"
"I will take back what is rightfully mine, you son of a sodding..."
"Enough!" - Bukky interrupted, his henchmen raising the guns and pointing them at Fishy. - "Looks like you and your men are in need of some Blitzkrieg!"
"We'll see about that." - Fishy said. - Then quietly to Goldy and Froggy: "I count to three; One.... Two....."
