#1  The Tonic Team. Pt I. One day, as Billy Von Chilli was walking down Coffee Street, he felt a chill wind across his left ear. He turned sharply, only to see the empty street behind him. "That's odd..." muttered Billy to himself. "I could've sworn I heard a cabbage." He carried on, regardless, and once again felt that chill wind on his ear. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" he cried and walked faster. The wind did not leave. He sped up again, finally reaching a run! But the wind followed him still. Suddenly, he tripped, and landed face first into a cushion. As he gathered his wits, he looked up, and saw three animals. A mole with two large rockets on his sides, donning a red cape. The second was a badger, wearing a top hat and monocle, looking round at the street suspiciously. Finally he noticed the goat. Larger than the others, and just as peculiar. The goat was wearing a goggled hat, like that old bloke from The Mummy who flew the plane, but wearing the goggles up. He was also wearing an extraordinarily large dirty brown and green scarf. The three looked very impressive. "You can leave now lad." said the Mole. "Wh-who are you?" inquired Billy, desperate to know what was going on. "We are the Tonic Team. I am Rocket Mole, this is Lord Badger, and this fellow is Captain Goat. We here to help, so don't worry lad. Just leave. And don't look back." Billy ran away down the street, not noticing that the wind had gone. "You can come out now, Master Cabbage. We know it's you." said Rocket Mole loudly, and it echoed down the street. He was replied with a sinister cackle, and a icy wind that could freeze the corners off a square balloon. "I said show yourself. NOW." The wind howled and the end of the street seemed to rush toward the Tonic Team. Out of nowhere appeared a giant cabbage, wearing large black sunglasses, and it was clear to see that he was evil. He had a large scar slashed across his face, from cheek to cheek, just missing his mouth. It made his top, green lip appear abnormally large, and was not a pleasant sight. "What do you want, Tonic Team??" He sneered hatefully. "We want you gone. Now." replied Rocket Mole, just as bitterly. "HA! You think you can defeat me???" laughed Master Cabbage. "I must say, this does seem like a frightfully silly idea. I mean, he is quite large now." whispered Captain Goat to Rocket Mole. "We've defeated him once, we can do it again." "Yes but, I mean, look at him. He's at least twice the size he was." "I know, Captain Goat, I know." Even though Rocket Mole still stood fast, you could see that he was worried. He was looking around the street, desperately seeking something that could give them the upper hand. He found something. On top of a house was a large weather vane. Rocket Mole looked at Lord Badger, and he instantly knew what to do. "Master Cabbage. We have defeated you once, and we shall do it again." "I know your mind Rat! I have thought of everything you could think of already, and destroyed it!" "Indeed." said Rocket Mole, as he tensed his body. "NOW!" Lord Badger whipped out his whip, cracked it into Master Cabbages face, and as the cabbage screamed in blinded agony, Rocket Mole blasted off in the direction of the vane! "NEVER! YOU SHALL NOT WIN AGAIN!" Cried the cabbage, and he flailed his muscley green arms wildly. But Rocket Mole was better than that. He weaved in and out of Master Cabbage's arms, and landed perfectly next to the vane. "CAPTAIN GOAT!" he cried. But the goat had disappeared. Rocket Mole waited, worried about the very limited time Lord Badger had given them. He looked below to the street, and saw Lord Badger on Master Cabbage's head, claws drawn, stabbing madly downwards. He witnessed Master Cabbage grab the badger, and fling him 50 metres down the road. Lord Badger got up shakily, steadied himself, and looked at Rocket Mole. Rocket Mole knew he couldn't hold out much longer. "MOLEY!" Rocket Mole looked up, and was filled with joy as he saw the goat flying low in his biplane. He threw the vane upwards as hard as he could, and his aim was true. Captain Goat caught it, and dive bombed Master Cabbage, just as he was distracted by Lord Badger. Master Cabbage screeched as the vane became lodged in his head, just out of reach of his short, muscular arms. At that very moment, the sky rumbled and roared, and a bolt of lightning rocketed downwards, connecting with the metal weather vane, electrifying the angry cabbage. The cabbage was scorched black, and mysteriously vanished. The Tonic Team regrouped on the street. "You couldn't have come any quicker could you Captain Goat?" said Rocket Mole, smiling. "'Fraid not, old chum, the blasted thing needed refuelling!" "Well I'm glad you came when you did..." wheezed Lord Badger. "I doubt I could've held out much longer." "Oh Badger, I had faith in you." Rocket Mole said, and he was beaming as he gave the badger a warm hug. "But I think we'll be seeing more of Master Cabbage...and we need to start training more." And the Team walked off down the street, leaving a few burnt scraps of an odd smelling material in the middle of the road. TO BE CONTINUED.... If anyone wants to draw a picture of The Tonic Team for me, standing proud, please pm me and I'll describe them better  And yes, that was a subtle request.... |

| | Your wish is my command. Tonic Team. Pt 2. At their secret lair underneath Big Circle Square, the Tonic Team trained rigourously. They spent a whole fortnight training almost non-stop. Lord Badger practising his fighting and whipping, Captain Goat was often seen by humans flying above the houses of Crumdum (the capital city of Gert Bettern), and Rocket Mole played non-stop on his Brain Training game for the Nintendo DS. "You know Moley, you should really do some exercise as well as that." suggested Lord Badger one morning. "It can't be healthy." "Oh stop badgering me, I need to train my brain. I should've thought of the vane thing before even setting foot on that street." retorted Rocket Mole. "No need to be like that, bud. Just a suggestion." But Rocket Mole knew he was right. "Oh I'm sorry Lord Badger...I'm just really stressed about Master Cabbage. I can't believe what happened to him. I blame myself really..." "You cannot blame yourself for evil. One is born evil to live evil, nobody can change their ways. If you paint stripes on a leopard, it still has spots underneath, y'know." "Yes but....I just...he was such a good cabbage. I never would have expected that from him." "You washed off his stripes Moley. You were lucky to have realised before you showed him The Secret." "Yes....thanks Badger. I do appreciate our little talks." And with that, Rocket Mole turned off his DS and blasted away to practice his maneuvering. Lord Badger watched the smoke trail, and when it disappeared he turned round. He stopped suddenly and sniffed, nose raised in the air. He sniffed again. He dashed to one of the corners, grabbed a shadow and slammed it onto the table. "What are you doing here???" he snarled dangerously at the thing in his shadow. The shadow looked into his eyes, and he watched it slide from under his grip. "Are you Lord Badger, of the Tonic Team?" the shadow asked. Badger recognised the voice. "Sheila, you know better than that." he laughed. "Yes I know." The shadow stepped out into the light, to reveal a beautiful Dachshund female. "So how are you Badger?" asked Sheila. "I'm good thanks." "You look tired. Have you been fighting?" "Yes, Master Cabbage is back. I had to fight him, and almost lost. So I'm training." "Mmm. I heard. That's why I'm here. You need me." Sheila looked deep into Badger's eyes, and she saw clearly how they filled with sadness. "You know that's not wise Sheila. Rocket Mole wouldn't allow it. He left you because of the Team, and he doesn't want you hurt." "I won't get hurt! And who is he to assume control over my life? I would have followed him to the end of his days!" "That's what he was worried about. He doesn't want you hurt in anyway. The battles are tough, and even if you aren't killed, he could be. He's still the risky Mole you first met, except he's older now. Besides, you weren't good enough to join last time!" "I know. But I've been training. I managed to escape the mighty Badger didn't I?" Badger laughed. "Very true, very true. Please, sit down." Badger beckoned towards one of the many seats in the room. They sat, and heard Captain Goat returning. "Ah, that'll be the Goat. Watch out for him, he's a real womaniser." Badger winked and walked through a door on his left to greet Captain Goat. Sheila heard laughs and hellos and looked round as she heard the door open. She saw the tall goat, with his hat and scarf, and thought he was very attractive. She stood up. "Hello, I'm Sheila." Sheila walked up to Goat and offered her hand. "It's nice to meet you." Goat took her hand, bent down and kissed it. "Believe me, Sheila, the pleasure is all mine." He looked up at her, before slowly standing upright again. Badger broke the tension by offering seats again. "Moley will probably be back soon." He said. Captain Goat nodded. "Good. I need to have a word with him." Sheila said sharply. The three of them sat for another hour, talking merrily about what Sheila had been doing, and just getting to know her a bit more. After the hour, they heard blazing rockets echo in the distance. Seconds later Rocket Mole shot through the large hole in the wall, and landed 10 feet from the seats, with his back to them. "Hello again Badger. Sorry I was gone for so long. I needed to clear my mi-" He stopped abruptly and sniffed. "I know that scent..." he muttered to himself. "Hello Sheila. What are you doing here?" he said darkly, before turning round and taking his seat. "It's nice to see you again too, 'Moley'." Though Sheila's reaction was harsh, Captain Goat was confused by the upset that her eyes betrayed. "Please Sheila, you know I don't like my time wasted. Your being here is no coincidence to the recent attacks." "Good to see you're still as bright as you were, dear Mole. Yes, I know about Master Cabbage's return. I thought he had died the last time, but clearly I was wrong. What are we going to do?" "We?" Rocket Mole replied loudly. "Yes. You need my help. You three are good, I know that, but you need me and you know it. Stop letting our past destroy the world's future." After much discussion, and I use that term lightly, as it was very loud discussion, Rocket Mole finally allowed Sheila into the Tonic Team, with the reason of "Her powers may come in useful....".
