Trench Quest

By Frozarburst

Trench has been internally injured for sometime now. He's been diagnosed with a major concussion that quickly caused his mental stability to waver. Naturally lanolions, or more simply goats, range from aggressive behavior to playfulness. But this time, Trenchard is neither. Almost miindless. He's sat and tucked on a pinkish-grey mat under red covers being checked up in the royal castle of Rhybloflaven by the fantastic Jimmy Neutron and old Professor MaBarnacle.

MaBarnacle holding a potion: Well lads, I've done all I could, with a bit of assistance from the boy genius, of course.

Jimmy: I wish there were more I could do for him, but even with my science, it's too risky for someone from another world like him...

Nyando: What happened anyway?

Familiar: Bimm turned into a werecat and gave him a concussion.

Nyando cringing: Ooh..!

Bimm laying her head against Trench: I'm so sorry Trenchard! I didn't know what I was doing! Now look what I've done...

Cattus comforting Bimm: Don't be upset, honey. We'll get through this with him. Even if his mind isn't quite the same as it were before.

Nyando: You mean, mentally he isn't there all the way?

Jimmy: Well, to put it lightly, yes. But he's still healthy. You'll just have to watch over him.

Simone: And ya mean to tell us YOU of all folk can't fix this guy?! I thought Sheen said you had a brain hat or something!

Jimmy: Oh yeah. The Brain Drain Helmet! I once converted it into a Brain Gain Helmet, but it resulted in Sheen's I.Q and his brain continuously growing until he physically couldn't sustain it. I worry if I do something like that with Trench, it'll just make things worse.

Bimm getting teary-eyed: Aah...

Nyando patting Bimm's back: Well, hey, it's not all that bad. Sure, he isn't completely like he used to, but he isn't dead either. I think he can still do something even if he's not all the way there.

Trench with a broken grin: Baaah...

Nyando: See? He believes it.

Bimm: Well, we never really had him as a real family member before. He just occasionally visited town.

Cattus smiling: Perhaps it's time we did then. We can make sure he is well fed, groomed, and everything else a pet -no, a friend needs.

Nyando: You're right. You know Dad, I think maybe he needs time to breath right now. I'll take him out for a walk around the scenic part of town. Give him something to do in a safe place.

Bimm: Make sure you're back by 5 this time. I don't wanna have to drag you and Simone to bed again.

Nyando: Ah, com'on! It ain't that serious, Mom! (Picks up leash) ...Er, well, technically it is. But I'll be back. Don't ya worry. (Helps Trench up) Let's go, Trench ol' goat!

Trench falling on his side: Bugh...(Sticks tongue out)

Nyando dragging Trench: Ahehe... Eeh, this is gonna take a while.
