Oh dear…
Chapter Two
Another Adventure of Super Squash
“Hey, Bean Boy, my friend, pass the potato chips.”
“Sure thing, Squashy.”
“Mmm, mmm. These potato chips are delicious, and that’s a fact!”
“Squashy, d’you mind if I change the channel, news is so boring!”
“Sorry, Bean my lad, what if I changed the channel and a huge crime was reported. Then what would happen, huh?”
Bean Boy looked ashamed. “We’d be a few minutes late, so what?”
“So what if the reporters didn’t report the crime twice? Then what? Give me an answer, here!”
“Alright, alright, I get the point! I guess we have to watch the news,” said Bean Boy sheepishly.
“Good, now pay close attention to the TV. I hope we didn’t miss anything while we were talking.
Brrriiiing!! Brrrrriiinggg!!!
“Quick, Bean Boy, get the phon!” ordered the inforcer of farmers, “It may be important!”
Bean Boy rushed over to the phone and slammed the receiver to his ear. “Hello? What is it?” he said into the receiver.
“Hi, Bean Boy? It’s Tomato Man, there’s some commotion down in the main sub-sandwich station. I’ll meet you and Super Squash there and we’ll do some serious damage to Farmer Joe’s army of nutbars. Hurry, there isn’t much time left to get there!”
“Alright, I’ll round up Squashy and off we’ll go!” Bean Boy dropped the receiver and warned Super Squash that they should go over to the sub-sandwich station and meet Tomato Man, the reddest super hero.
The commotion at the sub-sandwich station was much more than some. There were so many hordes of bandits that even the bugs didn’t have room to crawl. From high above, Super Squash actually thought the floor was moving!
“Come on Bean Boy, let’s find Tomato Man.” In a red flash, the giant tomato had arrived.
“Tomato Man, reddest super hero at your service, sah!” Tomato Man joked.
“Very funny. Now where’s the one behind this? I think I’ll go and find him,” Super Squash thought aloud, “You two go sling some veggies and cover me. I’ll see you soon.”
As the two heroes slung carrots and peas at the enemy, Super Squash sneaked down into the crowds of hoodlums. A cherry hit the wondrous nose of the great vegetable and bounced harmlessly off. He made his way o the back of the sub-sandwich station, where a Zucchini Worm was waiting for him.
“Sssssssss, I see you have come, ssssssss. Now I will suck the juice out of you, ssssssssss!” said the villanous creature.
“Only if you can get past my sling, you scum!” taunted Super Squash courageously.
“Piece of zucchini cake, sssssss!” hissed the juice-sucking worm creature.
“Then try, just try!”
The battle had begun. Super Squash defended himself wih fruits and vegetables as the poisonous worm lashed out with its razor-sharp teeth, spitting venom everywhere. Meanwhile, Bean Boy and Tomato Man were running out of ammunition. Luckily, there was a fruit and vegetable grove about half a mile west of the sub-sandwich station. They dashed off to get some more peaches, radishes, damsons and gooseberries as the fight between the Zucchini Worm and Super Squash raged on without pause. Super Squash was also running out of ammo. He dodged a splash of poison and darted off. The worm gave a wicked laugh that echoed around the station like thunder. Then Bean Boy and Tomato Man returned. The villains were not expecting this so they had unarmed themselves when a shower of fruits and vegetables came in them, knocking each and every one of them flat on their noses. the Zucchini Worm scudded around, waking and bringing as many creeps upright as his giant coils could manage.
“Ssssssssss, the dirty tricksterssss, they got my horde, ssssssssss! I will show them, sssss, oh noooooo, ssssssss!!” He was knocked flat and unconscious by a hard peach pit. that’s when Super Squash arrived.
“Good work, guys, for a minute there I thought we’d actually lost. Looks like you two saved the day!”
