To the Rescue!--Maybe...

Unending BE - episode 45304

"What?" exclaimed Skunkette/Jim in confusion at the three animals. Then she quickly figured out that was not the right thing to say. "I mean, uh, yes, of course, you are the rescue squad. Come in."
The rabbit, vixen, and sheep all looked at each other. "Uh...don't you want to give us any orders, Ms. St. John?"
"Orders....yes.....orders...." thought Jim to herself, pacing back and forth across the room and swishing his tail around, "Uh....the order is to....get me out of the castle and into a safe hiding place where I can regroup."
They looked at each other again. "HIDE?" repeated the vixen in disbelief But what about the emeralds?!"
"Emeralds?" Skunkette looked at the vixen blankly.
"You know, the crown jewels? The ones with magical powers? The emeralds that make the operation of devices such as the D-Hopper and our other higher technology possible, because of the trans-dimensional energy emanating from them, THOSE emeralds? You've only been planning to steal them for YEARS now! With the crown containing those Emeralds on your head instead of on the Queen's, you could take over right now without even having to kill her! At least, not right away. Without those jewels, she's powerless! Nobody will fear her any more!" The rabbit was talking now, and seeming rather bloodthirsty for an herbivore. Jim took a closer look and noticed something rather disturbing--the rabbit was part cyborg. Her left arm was entirely robotic, she had an implant around her eyebrow-ride on her right eye, the tip of her right ear was metal, her right foot was metal, and she had a tube running along her jaw. How did that happen...? he wondered. On second thought, I don't want to know.
"Of course, any espionage/undercover mission will be a lot harder now, with Valdez gone," sighed the sheep.
"Valdez?" said Jim, wishing she didn't sound like so much of an idiot when he said things like that.
"The chameleon? Quiet guy, dark blue when he's not changing colours, usually wears a bright red beret for some reason? THAT Valdez? Anyway, the Metallic Sorceror got him last week. You weren't there at the time. He snuck into the Sorceror's fortress, counting on his natural invisibility talents to protect him--and came out as an evil steel-plated slave!" The sheep shuddered.
"Well, then, we must help him!" said Jim, trying to salvage something out of this. He didn't know or care who Valdez was, but at least such a mission would take him out of the castle.
"Are you KIDDING me?!" exclaimed the vixen. "NOBODY that has been turned into a robotic slave by the Sorceror has EVER returned to the side of light! And as for the Sorceror himself...." she shook her head. "No. You may be bold, St. John, but you'd be mad to attempt THAT."
"Although...." said the cyborg rabbit thoughtfully, polishing her laser rifle with just a BIT too much enthusiasm, "at least we'd get to kill a lot of guards on the way in..."
"It's up to you," the vixen said finally, turning straight to Skunkette. "Steal the Emeralds, or rescue Valdez? Which do we do?"

  1. He decides to steal the Emeralds and become the Queen.
  2. *He decides to sneak into the evil Sorceror's metallic fortress and try to rescue their missing team member.
  3. He decides to cut loose and chase after the REAL Genny St. John. Just where HAD that little skunk gotten herself off to, anyway?!
  4. He decided to do SOMETHING ELSE entirely.
