Frankelope's Great Adventure - Part Three
Written by: Twinkle
As you may remember from the previous episode (if not, go read it- click above!), our hero Frankelope was in grave danger, but being half pig, half elephant, he was not the brightest banana in the fruit bowl.
Professor Q. Hippo grinned evilly – for he is evil- and thought of all the evil things he was going to do to Frankelope once he captured him.
"Firstly", he thought "I shall probe this dumb-witted, pathetic excuse for a freak of nature to find if he has any magical powers. If he does, I shall manipulate these powers to take over the world! Mwahahahaha!!! If not, the local freak show shall pay a pretty penny for the worlds only cross breed! Mwahahaha!!"
Yet, he only thought these things and did not manically laugh out loud as Frankelope was still burbling on about all the friends he could make.
"... there's bound to be a Kittyfrog as I keep seeing the sly looks that the cats all give the frogs at the pond! Oh! And there are probably loads of Dinobirds... no wonder they went extinct... although I don't quite see how a Dinosaur could – "
Here the evil hippo cut him off with a jovial laugh.
"Ha ha ha ha! My dear boy! There are all of these creatures and many more! If you'd care to follow me!"
Frankelope, with no thought to his parents or his safety, followed Professor Q. Hippo through the darkest and dingiest parts of the forest. Hard branches kept smacking him in the face, twigs cruelly scratched at his trunk and horrible, decrepit, old birds kept defacing all over him.
This meant, by the time they reached the river, Frankelope was horribly bruised, cut and covered in poop.
The Professor guided the Elepig towards a rather large bush, in which a hovercraft was concealed.
"Here we are now!" proclaimed the Hippo. "Now, if you'd just like to step into the boat so I can tie you up – I mean! Erm... well, the journey will get rather bumpy..."
Frankelope stepped into the boat and turned to face the evil hippo. Suddenly, for a split second, the Professor's eyes gleamed red. Although Frankelope was rather dim, he did read Happy Porter and knew that whenever someone's eyes gleamed red, it was bad!
He swung around and kicked the hovercraft into fifth gear.
"Hmm, guess those lessons in 'How to Drive Any Getaway Vehicle' really paid off", Frankelope thought.
In a blaze of smoke, fire and Professor Q. Hippo's pipe, Frankelope sped away in the hovercraft to safety and victory!
However, five minutes into the journey, our hero felt something slimy against his tail.
"Oh my! I do believe," gasped Frankelope "that my hovercraft is... full of eels!"
How will our hero escape from the evil electric eels? Will he ever run into the evil Professor again? Will he ever discover his evil plan? Will he ever find something to eat?!
Find out soon(ish), in the next edition of FRANKELOPE'S GREAT ADVENTURE!
