<blockquote data-quote="mrman226" data-source="post: 219068" data-attributes="member: 656"><p>Chapter 18</p><p> Why in the world did this Renegade have to live in an OWL barn? I crawled through the rafters nervously. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you what happened. We had reached the base and realized that we needed a good fighter, buuuttt, there was a note on the door from Banrow telling me to stay put. I decided on calling one of my best friends anyway, a renegade squirrel called Alec. So I went to his living area, which was this barn. Well, back to the story. I could see the entrance to Alec’s lair just ahead, but I also heard a screech. It translated “Easter time guys! We will continue this chat later!” MY eyes bulged with fear, and I suddenly saw dead squirrels everywhere “Oh crap Oh crap Oh crap!” I chattered rapidly. Suddenly, an owl that had been grabbing up all these pieces of dead prey headed toward me, and then grabbed me too. Probably an extra treat for him! I squeaked and struggled; attempting to yank out my pistol and shoot the owl, but it was no good. Suddenly, Alec popped out of his hole with a metal fist thingy and punched the owl in the face. There was a deafening squawk, and I was suddenly let go. I spread my arms and legs t try and slow my decent, while I saw the owls below grabbing as many squirrels as they could handle. Suddenly one pointed at me, and they all flew up like hungry squirrel babes trying to reach an acorn. I pulled out my hunting knife and got ready for the wave of feathers. Suddenly, I heard a shriek from below. </p><p> “STOP! HE’S MY FRIEND! All the owls stopped, and Alec reached over, grabbed me, and dragged me to his lair. I lay there panting, and then Alec came in with a wicked looking knife. </p><p> “Looks like you were in a fix. Whatcha doing- SQUAWK,” Alec roared. </p><p> “I DON’T THINK SO YOU OWLS! YOU’RE GOING DOWN!” He stomped out of the room and for and for a few seconds all I could hear were squawks of indigence, pain, and humiliation. I also heard lots of slashing, and whump that sounded like a wooden beam falling. Curious, I walked outside to see what was happening. It was amazing; Alec was furiously attacking a group of adult owls that had attempted to scratch through his tunnel. </p><p> “STAY! AWAY!” He yelled. He ran back as the owls flew forwards, and then he pulled out a mortar launcher. </p><p> “Take that! And that!” The owls decided that Alec was not worth the trouble, so they flew back down to the ground. Alec looked at me and grinned. </p><p> “Sorry bout that pal! So, I see that you invented a stealth suit!” I nodded and pulled out an extra laser knife, something I had created for him. </p><p> “Also got this. Thought you might need it to fight owls!”</p><p> Alec grinned wickedly and started chuckling. “Ooh, that’s cool!” He took the knife and slashed through a piece of wood, and then he stuck it into a wall, and then pulled it out. “This is good!” He turned off the knife and stuck it into his belt, which also held a gun, gun rounds, a hunting knife, a grappling hook and a couple squirrel-sized grenades. His body was covered in peck scars, and there was a long, jagged scar passing through his eye, where he wore an eye patch. “What do you say we go down and give them owls a little part-ay?” Alec said.</p><p> I motion weakly to my belt, which only contained a knife, pistol and a couple rounds. “With this equipment? “ Alec laughed and slapped his thigh. “Of course, you came light!” He darted into his room and brought out lots of ammo and a few grenades. “You ready now?” I grinned, slipped the equipment into my belt and nodded. In my mind, I wondered who screeched, but I left it for later. We rappelled down the ropes and then snuck around the owls. I wore my stealth suit, so it was considerably easier, but Alec had to dodge and duck. I suddenly saw Banrow nervously squawking to his friends, who looked real angry. I pressed my com-link and contacted Alec, who was on the other side of me. </p><p> “What ever you do, don’t attack that barn owl!” </p><p> “What, you mean the one that all the other owls are facing?”</p><p> “Yeah.” </p><p> “Okay, I’ll try…”</p><p> “Alec, I mean it!”</p><p> “Fine…”</p><p> “Alec!”</p><p> “Okay, okay I wont attack the barn owl. Are you happy now?”</p><p> “Yes!”</p><p> Alec looked disgruntled, but he didn’t attack Banrow. We dived in with a roar, and the owls immediately started squawking and flapping their wings. Banrow didn’t seem too freaked, but I could be wrong. So we stabbed and shot the owls, but it didn’t do too much good. In fact, the most we did was freak out the owls, and then we had to run before they ate us. All good fun! Finally, when we were outside, Alec decided to ask me what I was doing here. </p><p> “I came to see if you could uh, help me with something.”</p><p> “Stop beating around the acorn Tam, and tell me already!”</p><p> “I’m not sure your going to like this proposal”</p><p> “I don’t care.
