“What do you want with me?” Marge asked.
“I want you to strike a deal with me.”
“A deal?”
“Yes, all you have to do is bring me Saline and we’ll leave you alone.”
Marge thought it over. “What would they do to Saline if she brought her? What could they possibly need with her?” “I’m not sure that I want to do that.” Marge finally responded.
“Are you sure, my dear?” sneered K.K.?”
“Actually, I’m quite positive!”
“Well…I didn’t want things to turn out this way but…Rhino!” Out came a colossal beast. He was half ogre and half rhinoceros. “I’ll give you one last chance. Make the deal or die!”
Well now, that makes my decision a little easier to make, Marge thought.
Marge was in a terrible situation. She couldn’t do anything but say, “Yes.”
“Good, now bring Saline to me!” King Killer commanded. Marge spoke some wacky words and then in that instant, the legendary Aquastar necklace began to shine and shimmer, glowing with its powers, and out popped Saline.
“Why welcome.” Capper snickered.
“Why am I here?” asked Saline as she looked around the mysterious place.
“You are our guest,” Napper said, “just take your place of honor in the golden chair.” Saline looked around to try to find out what in the world he was talking about. Then she spotted it. Gold linings around the ends of the chair gleamed almost as if it were pulling her into a trance. Saline started to float slowly over to the chair. As she sat, the magic buckles on the chair grabbed her and pulled her down.
“Hey, what’s the big idea?”
“Just wanted to make sure that you don’t escape.” Capper bellowed.
“I thought you said that I was your guest.”
“Let me go!” Saline cried.
Zap! Electric shocks shot through Saline draining all of her powers.
“Please stop it!” Marge screamed out. Killer didn’t respond, he just kept shocking Saline. Then he turned to Marge.
“I’ll stop only if you hand over the necklace.”
“Never!”
“Well, fine, I guess that Saline won’t live to see another day.”
Marge was becoming so angry and desperate that she decided that she would rather destroy the necklace and herself before she would give it to King Killer. But then she had an idea, Marge yelled, “Fine, I’ll give you the necklace.”
“Finally!” Killer turned off the golden chair and walked over to Marge. As K.K. reached over to grab the necklace, Marge ducked under his arm and raced over to Saline.
“Saline, Saline, are you alright?”
“I-I-I think so.”
Marge ripped open the buckles that held Saline in the golden chair and then started running toward the door with Saline in her arms. Suddenly a strong, bulky hand grabbed her and threw her across the room and against a wall like a bouncy ball.
“Good job, Rhino. Now catch her and squeeze the life out of her!” Rhino picked up Marge and began to squeeze her so tight that Marge could barely breathe.
“Saline, help me.” Marge tried to scream, but nothing came out. Saline lay unconscious on the floor across the room. Suddenly, fireballs came hurling across the room towards Rhino. The first fireball scored a direct hit right into Rhino’s eye.
“Aargh!” Rhino howled.
“Who did that?” Killer roared.
“I did sir!” Pilla replied.
“Pilla, have you lost your mind?” Tisha asked.
“No, I just don’t like the way she’s being treated.”
