Mister Light Sheds Some
The tails of their BeakBirds swirling behind them, Major Carmen Trudog, Last Hope of the planet Earth, and the noted scientist Mister Light, herded the magnoglobes ever closer to New Jersey.
"We can only hope we get there in time," said Mister Light.
"Oh, that's original!" scoffed Carmen.
Mister Light turned in annoyance, his lightbulb face flashing red and yellow. "I was merely...."
"Wait!" interrupted Carmen. "I'm getting a message from the General."
The Message From The General
FROM: General Gordo - Acting Grand Wawa of Earth Alliance
TO: Major Carmen Trudog
CC: Mister Light
SUBJ: SCRUBBERS
[ The picture I am sending you is from a Seum of Mu letterhead. Notice that the Butterflea of Doom is flanked by two curious looking contraptions. They have been identified by our agents in the Raccoon camp as 'Scrubbers'. The second picture is an enlargement. We desperately need more information. I need you to get close to one of these thingies. Mister Light has all the details. He'll fill you in and continue on to New Jersey with the magnoglobes. Good luck, Major! ENDIT ]
Carmen slammed a fist on the OverRider and brought the BeakBirds and magnoglobes to a screeching halt.
"O.K. bulb man! What the heck is going on?" snapped Carmen.
"Oh dear!" sighed Mister Light. "I see the message has made you angry. Possibly because you feel left out?"
 |
"Enough!" spat the Red Owl. "Save your anger for the Raccoons!" |
The Scrubbers left nothing when they were finished. The Raccoon Advance Teams would cleverly infest a planet with these odious devices in preparation for the invasion force.
It failed, however, on the planet of the Bulb Heads thanks to the intervention of the Red Owl. He convinced them to drop their axes and instead, seek revenge.
Mister Light hated the Scrubbers.
