Eon turned over to Basil. He rose back up and walked over to him. He bowed to him and began to spoke. "I apologize for my earlier actions Mr. Basil. If you could find it in your heart to forgive me, I'd be very appreciative." He rose again and put his hand out to shake hands with Basil. "So, do you have any leads on where Ratigan may be now? Last I saw, he was hiding in the sewers. It would be to our best interest to stop him and save the people he has captured." Basil stood reluctantly at the youth, and took the time to re-adjust himself before replying. He grabbed his detective's hat that had fallen off from their previous heartless encounter and began to dust it off before placing it back on his head. Tilting it to his preferred angle, he looked back to Eon with attentiveness. Something that seemed very out of character for him until now. "Already forgotten," he replied calmly. there were more pressing matter to attend to than a hit from a boy that looked just over Olivia's age. Ratigan was closing his grasp, and this time he had something to follow on.
"You are correct in your underground pursuits, my young friend." He took Ratigan's list from Dawson, who hung his head in a most upsetting fashion. "Oh, ah, poor girl. I should have watched her more closely."
Feeling sorry for the doctor, Basil comforted him, still examining the parcel. "Don't worry, old fellow. It's not entirely hopeless. We'll get her back." With that quickly out of the way, the detective continued his sights on the paper. "Offhand, I can deduce very little. Only that the words are written with a broad pointed quill pen which has spattered... twice. That the paper is of... native Mongolian manufacture, no water mark. And has-" Basil put the folded paper to his lips, to see if there were any familiar flavors or liquid residue. "Been gummed, if I'm not very much in error by a bat who has been drinking Rodent's Delight! A cheap brandy sold only in the seediest sewer pubs. The young boy was accurate in his previous statement, and considering the freshwater needed to run such a business, the pub we're looking for should be right where the sewer connects to the waterfront. Which means that they are being held in-"
"The Rat Trap!" Dawson interrupted. "Precisely, my dear Dawson. And it's quite a trek away as well. Oh, if only Toby weren't out sick, we shall need to make post haste, for the fate of mousedom is at stake! And knowing Ratigan, I'd bet my career that it is... Now if only we had some sort of speedy transportation..."

~MISSION COMPLETE~ IV. To the Nest

Yana leveled up!

In their search for what seemed like the golden eagle overhead, the group managed to get a glimpse of Cody, climbing over a mountain's edge, to a secluded peek, where the nest could be seen. "He's goin' down the cliff! C'mon, we gotta warn the little fella!" Before Fang could instigate, the kangaroo mouse slid down he slender body and lept up the small mountain rocks to reach the boy first. With similar motive, she quickly followed him to where the boy was headed.

Using all his strength, he climbed the final ledge and took a moment to catch his breath. A boy his age, climbing a very dangerous and rocky terrain was a very commendable accomplishment. But he wasn't concerned with his physical achievement, as he rushed over to look inside the large bird's nest, he sighed in relief at the sight of all the eggs, unhatched and untouched. He reached into his pocket and sadly looked at it, before pacing it on her babies. "Cody," a small voice cried out. In panic, he quickly took some twigs, and tried to cover up the nest. He spun around expecting to find some one, but no one was there.
"Down here, mate!" Cody tilted his head down to find Jake hopping and waving. "Huh, who are you?"
"No time to explain, you're in great danger!" at this point, Fang had just caught up, carrying her much more heavy body to meet up with them. Hesitant, Cody stood in front of the eggs. Last he had seen Fang, was back when she was guarding him for the poacher.
"Easy does it," Fang replied, dropping her weapon. "I'm not her for you are the eggs. I just wanted-" Her apology was cut with loud bird's cry in the distance. The screeching noise, most definitely belonged to Marahute. "Marahute?! It can't be?! She's alive!" The golden eagle spread it's wide wings, preparing to land near it's babies. The eagle was large and majestic in it's nature, ruffling it's feathered as she was hugged by Cody. "Cody, wait! You have to listen! It's a tra-" Fang continued to insist, but it was too late. McLeach's truck was already nearby, and he shot his net directly at the bird, capturing not only her, but Cody and Jake as well.
Quick to act, Fang dashed to pick up the lance she had dropped while trying to reason with Cody. Before she could, a gunshot knocked it straight out of her reach, and off the cliff. On the firing end, McLeach was seen, grinning and laughing. "Did you see that! Perfect shot! Per-fect shot! She's mine now! Hahaha! All mine! Bet you wish you'd stuck it out for just 10 more minutes, huh? Well now you get nothin'!" In his pride, McLeach kept his gun pointed at Fang and an eye on the trapped beast. The net was very tightly woven, meaning Jake couldn't find anyway to escape the tight holes, and Marahute's Talon's couldn't rip through it. The only escape was from the tied up end, which could only be released by a hand outside the net.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Aden questioned the wisdom of revealing their Keyblade Gliders, but not aloud. They did need to get to Olivia quickly, and if Ratigan was using Heartless, then they had to use whatever they had at their disposal.

Aden summoned his own armor and Glider, interestingly adapted for his mouse form. "Hop aboard, Dr. Dawson," he instructed. Once the mouse had done so, with no small amount of surprise and awe, Aden headed after Eon, who was presumably receiving directions to the Rat Trap from Basil.

 

Karina hesitated before following Jake and Yana. She was unsure about her footing as she attempted to climb the rest of the way up. She followed Jake towards Cody but stayed back from them a bit and remained quiet. She didn't know this boy so she had nothing to say to him. She thought he was slightly reckless trying to protect the eggs on his own, but at the same time that reckless, Do it yourself, attitude reminded her of herself. If she was going to do something worth while she did it by herself. This was partly because she didn't trust people, but partly because she feared doing something wrong and getting scolded for it when she tried her best. She doubted this was why Cody acted alone so it was a silly comparison but one she still made none the less.

As she thought about that a net was launched trapping some of the others including the bird. Since the birds talons couldn't rip through the netting it was obvious that she wouldn't be able to bite through it with her over sized mouse teeth. Yana had run over to try to untie the bag but was stuggling and called for help. Karina ran over to help Yana try to release the net.

 

As noble as their efforts were, the net would not budge. The strong material was too constricted for the tiny mouse hands and teeth. Unfortunately, only human sized hands could untie the net, but seeing as how fang was unarmed at gunpoint, the party was in very deep distress.
"It looks like Lady luck has finally decided to smile on me. Everything's going my way..." McLeach let loose an evil grin to at the discontented woman.
"Just like a man. Give him a gun, and he thinks he's a god."
"You only only brought this on yourself little missy. Ain't my fault you grew a conscience." Fang's teeth clenched at the mention of the poacher calling her 'missy.' She was running out of options. The only thing working in her favor was the man's constant gloating. "So what's it gonna be woman? The gun or the gators?" He tilted his gun below, to where the river was rushing violently. They were over a hundred feet high, easy, and one of the gaters was seen shewing on Fang's Lance. It was made of a very strong alloy, stronger than the net in fact. As a capable and potent fighter, she could rip it from the creatures jaws. First thing she had to do was get away from McLeach. This also meant she had to temporarily leave the entrapped boy and eagle. Looking down over the edge, she carefully examined the rocks before replying.
"Give me a minute." With a quick smirk, she jumped off the cliff, diving foot-first and leaping around the unstable cliff side.
"Why you little!" McLeach let out a gunshot. His eyes tried to follow her movement, but he was at an inappropriate angle. Naturally, he would have forgotten her, but if she escaped and got a hold of the local authorities, he would be imprisoned for poaching and kidnapping. "You ain't gettin' away from me that easy, sister..." Stalking the cliff side, he went around to try and get a better shot. "I'll be back for you my little goldmine, hehe." Since he was without fang's aerobic ability, he was struggling to get down south. He eventually took the trail to avoid further struggle. From off screen, he yelled out an order to his pet goanna. "Joanna! Make sure they don't move!"
The slithering reptile chuckled and mocked the net from afar. The eagle screeched in rebuttal, still trying to escape. "It's okay girl," Cody comforted. "We'll get out of here, the other mice will help us!" Jake joined in on trying to tame the large bird. "Yeah, if anyone can help us, it's the newbies!" Jumping onto Cody's shoulder he quickly added "Nice bluff, kid..."
Having her small attention span, Joanna had spotted the party and licked her mouth with her insatiably long tongue. Just before she crept too close, she suddenly ran off in fear, yelling very muffled and distorted croaks. She slithered back into the truck and used her claw to press the lock. It turns out that the heartless from earlier had returned. All this time, they were feeding off the mother's love for her eggs and slowly trailing her to the nest.
"Watch your back mates!" Jake cried out.

The entire party had now made their way back to Cinderlla's room. After all the trouble in getting materials, they had frightened off the cat and were ready to see the finished results of their labor. "Rassa big thanks!" Jaq announced. Using his tiny mouse hands, he pushed one of the boards from the foldable dressing room to reveal her finished dress. It was very lovely pink florescent dress. Complimenting the color, was a layer of white underneath and was also a base for the shoulder straps. Along the bottom and at the chest, pink bows were tied. And finally, though it couldn't be seen by their viewpoint, the white buttons were used at the back of the dress to close it up. The materials they had collected were represented beautifully before them along the candle sill.


"Cinderelly gonna love it!" Jaq exclaimed. "Etree, Kelkel, Runa and Steer are good friends!" He smiled and sighed, exhausted by the fruits of his own labor. One mouse putting together a giant dress had knocked most of the wind out of him.

~MISSION COMPLETE~

After the speedy ride, Dawson felt rather light-headed. He began to stagger back and forth, only to trip over himself and fall on his belly. "Oh come now Dawson, it wasn't-" Basil paused a moment and covered his mouth with his fist, as if trying to prevent an upchuck. "That bad..." Helping the poor Doctor up, the 5 of them stood in the shadows of the pub. Along the sewer gate that went into the river, there was a small wooden ship for a door that read; "Rat Trap." Which ironically enough, was the name of the bar. "Somewhere behind that door is Fidget. We find him, we find Ratigan."
"Y-yes. But uh, aren't we a little overdressed for such a low classed establishment?" Basil gave a light chuckle. "Oh honestly Dawson, it's like you think I'm new at this." Basil took off his coat and reversed it, revealing a sailor captain's attire. The same with his deer hunting cap. Very odd how he had it abruptly prepared like that, but it was definitely a time saver. "And a little something for the doctor," Basil reached into the reversed side pocket and took out a small red and white striped shirt, along with a first mate's cap. "This will do perfectly." he smiled, lighting a cigarette to complete his image.

​

"Perfect?! Perfectly ridiculous! If this is my attire, I'd hate to see what you plan on making them wear." Dawson was not one to complain, but he truly disliked the ruffian outfit. Being in the Queen's regiment gave him a sense of duty and dignity that Basil seemed to have knocked out him since their meeting.
"Oh, I don't have anything for the lads. Only so much pocket room." Basil patted his pockets to show that he had no other cloths to share. "Besides, they're clothes are already ridiculous," he laughed as he nudged Dawson. "Join as when you're ready Dawson. Hope the clothes fit!" Basil lifted his sailor color and proceeded to enter the bar, motioning with his head for the rest to follow.
"I-I shall do no such thing! Basil! Basil!-" The detective had already entered the place, leaving Dawson, alone, outside to pout in disgust at the clothes he was given.
"Perfectly ridiculous..."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[/url]"I am far from a duck, my brother," the crow exclaimed. He stopped pecking at the circus's floor popcorn to peer up at the small figures addressing him.
"Well, looky here, looky here. Why this is most irregular." The crow in question, wore a studded blue vest, that came with a striped pink shirt underneath. On his head, he had a small brown bowler hat, with a cigar equipped in his left hand hand. The cigar was most likely, also discarded by some one from the audience. Flapping his wings to get closer to their level, he ended up blowing them back into the tent. Base, Krowley, and Shapur were swept back into the tent just as they had reached the peek of the barrel. Still upbeat, the crow tilted his head in awe. "Now I've seen a lot of things, but small humans are definitely a first." He smiled and patted the group on their backs with his wing. "Haha, welcome to the circus, my brothers! What's your act?"

As overwhelmingly eccentric as he was, he could use this crow to their advantage. He sounded like he had been very experienced in the layout of the circus. With his help, the small elephant should be found in no time. "Well, we don't have, but if we could just ask if you've seen a few friends we've lost... See the first on is a baby elephant-"
"This little elephant got big ears? Like a wingspan?"
"Uhh- Yeah." As mean as it was to point out, it was a very key feature. "He got a little hat with a circus mouse in it?" Once again, Krowley was left astounded. "Yeah that's pretty much the key description."
"That them?" The smooth talking crow pointed to the top of a tight rope where dumbo was lying on his back, sleeping, along with Timothy.
"Dumbo!" he called out.
"How they got a bitty little elephant up there, I will never know. Kind of a weird act if you ask me."
Krowley looked back at the crow. "Why didn't you help him out?!" Krowley persisted
"Like a said, thought it was an act." He stopped to take a quick puff of the cigar. "Just the other day, I done seen a man swallow ten swords!"

 

With Fang running to get her weapon and Kross tagging along it was up to Karina and Yana to take care of the heartless. Karina looked at Yana and nodded before giving up trying to untie the bag and turning to the heartless. This was the first time Karina really acknowledged the fact she was working with Yana and not just along side her. Karina was now at the point that she didn't mind Yana and Kross. They were both quiet and had yet to do something to annoy her. This could change in an instant though, but for now they were team mates. Karina went after one of the dogs to start. She lept off the net where she stood swinging her keyblade down on the dog. Landing on the ground keyblade in front of her ready for a fight.

 

Aden sighed, but did not reply to Basil's comment on their clothes. He was right...

"Do you want one of us to wait out here while you get ready, Dr. Dawson?" he asked. "This place looks unpleasant, and if Ratigan's henchmen frequent it, then it's sure to be plenty more dangerous."
