Chapter Two
Late that night, at the Abbey of Redwall, everybeast was asleep. Everybeast,that is,except for the Dibbuns. They were meeting in a room over the attic. A room only the Dibbuns knew about. Tangle stood in the center of a circle of Dibbuns, all seated in various wooden chairs. "Dibbunth!" Tangle cried, "Me'n' Tillee 'ave weathon to bewief dat sumtin ith wong in Mothfwawah Countwy. Titlzie hath a weport fah uth now." She motioned for Tiltzainia to come up. She flew to the middle of the circle. "Kreeeeegaaaarrr! Miz Tangle sent Tiltzie on scout mission to Salawhajamacallitt..." It was then that the boisterous hare, Lettuceleaf Utherin Slaet Horatio, burst in: " Ah believe it's Salamandastron, doncha know, wot!" The sparra adolescent gave him a lethal glare. "As Tiltzie was saying...Miz Tangle sent Tiltzie on scout mission to da shores 'bove Sal'mandastron. Dere Tiltzie sees horde of vermin lead by black vixen. Dey 'ad ovah five 'undred trained fightin' beasts too. Dey headed straight to Redwall. Black vixen wants to take over an' steal Zurr Martin's sword! Dey be 'ere in 'bout tree weeks if dey don't fall inta a swamp or sumtin." She flew beck to her seat, "Dat's all. Tiltzie done." Robi Riversong jumped up. I don't wanna die! We're all gonna be kilt! Dey're gonna take over my home! Waaaaahhhhaaaaa!!" Lissi, always the cool one, nodded slowly. "It'll be alright, Rob'. They won't take over. Nottif we c'n 'elp it, right, Mates?! she snuggled up to her twin affectionatly. A tall squirrel, called Eragona Treerose, lept up excitedly, "We'll whoop da vermin so we will! Kick outa Mossflowa, won't we! It'll be war! Yay! I can't wait! Whoopee!" Then, screaming, yelling, and various war cries reigned free:
"SWORD! KILL! DEATH TO ALL VERMIN! KILL! SWORD!"
"Yay! Issa gonna bee war!"
"Oi a bee ascared! Wot iff dey do cum! Wot if wee doan't get dere in toime!"
"EULALIAAA!!! Fight to the death, wot wot! Vile vermin, kill'em all, wot!"
Raiden Alexander Uriel Silversword VII knew that if somebody didn't hush those Dibbuns up then the Elders would wake up.
"Shattup! All of ya! Your gonna wake the Elders up!"
Tangle looked at him appreciatively, "Tankee, Raiden.I believe Eragona had a good idea, dough I tink dat we should scare da vermin, not kill'em." Then a joke popped into Tinsy's head, "Hey guy's, when's a rat not a rat? When it's abashed!" Brookie laughed 'till she cried. Mossyra giggled feebily, "Heehee. That was a doozie, Tins'." She turned and rolled her eyes at her best friend, Swordling. This made Swordling chuckle so hard, the mouse fell out of her chair. Tinsy saw Mossyra roll her eyes and gave her a murderous glare, "Mossy! I thought it was funny you stinky squirrel!" Swordling lept, drawing her sword. "Here are some rules for you, Stormsight! One: only I can call Mossyra, Mossy. Two: No one insults my friends, and gets away with it. Three: If someone does insult my friends, they pay in Tagdust!" She stepped close to the badgers nose until they were nose to nose. "Take it back, Stormsight, or you'll pay!" the mouse warrior said dangerously, brandishing her sword.
Tinsy saw the fury dance in Swordling's eyes. She stepped back a pace. "Okay, Swordling, but next time," she made a flashing motion across her throat. With dignity, she lumbered over to where she had been sitting, sat down, and glared at Swordling and Mossyra, who had returned to theirs.
"Ath I wath sayin', "Tangle continued, "We need to tink up thum planth. H'any idears?" Mirriam Waverider, a short otter stood, "I think all we need to do is let Lime Huckleberry hop into the midst of the vermin and start one of her speeches!" Everyone had a good laugh at that, even Lime. "Good idea, Mirry." said Tangle, pretending to jot it down. "H'any uthers?"
Lissi Riversong raised her paw, "I think all us Dibbuns could strap our weapons to our backs, in case we need them, and charge the vermin armed with pillows and hot marshmellows. They'll be so scared they'll run away!" Everyone looked at Lissi with new respect. "Very good idea," exclaimed Tangle." That just might work. Any uvers 'fore we go to bed. I'm getting a wee bit drowsey." Several others nodded their heads. Sunrise Swordspirit, a tall female badger, had to struggle to keep her voice low : "Y'all have heard of Cluny the Scourge, correct? And you've heard how some Redwallers tossed a bee's nest inside a drum on the vermin, correct? We could do that!" Tangle jerked her head up and down. " Good idea, Sun. We need more like that. BUT, it's time for bed. We don't want to look like zombies in da mornin'!" Holly Dragonis, a tall red squirrelmaid piped up: "Meeting tomorrow in the orchard after school!" The Dibbuns quietly filed out, returned to their beds, and fell asleep. All except for two twin hedgehogs, who lay awake for a few hour after, scheming.
