Previously on Freddy The Flea:
Fria realized Freddy had made a connection with one of the Berserkers, named Hessster.
Freddy knew where they kept the vial that attracted the Berserkers and suggested they get it since he didn’t want to leave his newfound friend behind.
Part 23:
“Freddy, it’s okay. This is DaFlea. He’s the one that helped me get in here and help you.”
The Clump of Death seemed to have made Freddy overly paranoid, but he did have a point though.
“Okay, but why doesn’t he want to help. They’re also just victims of Lord Tick.”
DaFlea immediately realized his mistake. He’d allowed his judgment to become clouded when it came to Berserkers. Freddy was right. They were also just victims.
“Freddy, you’re right and I’m sorry,” he said as he stepped closer.
“I let my fear cloud my judgment. If there’s a chance for us to save them too, then we need to try.”
Freddy nodded, then turned towards Hessster, “I’ll be back. I promise.”
“Freddy friendsss,” Hessster said as she gently nudged him out of the cell.
“Go getsss them.”
After Freddy explained where to go and what the surroundings were like, they decided to stick with a small party. The others were instructed to head towards the entrance to Lord Ticks chambers.
“Barricade it up until we get there. If they break through, come back here. One way or another, we’ll meet each other again,” Bruce Flea said.
The party of four followed Freddy down the passage as Fria updated him on their earlier adventures.
“No way! DaFlea fought off his personal guard?”
“Yes! Then we ran into a Berserker. I thought we were dead meat.”
The two burst into laughter before Bruce Flea hushed them.
“Shhh,” he said, “We don’t want to raise any alarms.”
They were just so happy to be reunited, that their excitement got the better of them.
“Okay, it’s through here,” Freddy said, as a short narrow passage led to another chamber.
Bruce Flea took the lead. When they reached the end, he peered into the chamber. Down towards the right were two ticks standing guard, with two Cloaked Fleas walking around the chamber.
“DaFlea, you take those two Ticks there. I’ll take care of the Cloaked Fleas.”
DaFlea nodded in agreement.
“You two, wait here,” Bruce instructed Freddy and Fria.
He waited until the Cloaked Fleas were within striking distance before reacting.
He jumped out, followed by DaFlea heading straight for the Ticks.
Bruce Flea flung his ball and chain which aimed straight for one of the Cloaked Flea’s heads. The Flea managed to duck away, as the other came charging towards Bruce Flea with Nunchucks at hand.
With a tug and a flicking motion, he whipped his chain back. The ball came hurtling back towards the oncoming attacker, knocking the Cloaked Flea right behind his knee. With one smooth motion, Bruce grabbed his Nunchucks and knocked the Flea across the side of his head.
This was one of Bruce Flea’s favorite weapons, as he proceeded to spin the Nunchucks around, over his back, across his body, and from one hand to another.
Meanwhile, DaFlea had his hands full with the two Ticks. They were better trained than some others he’d battled, utilizing their tough armor well to their advantage.
As DaFlea had another go at one of the Tick’s with his Staff, the Tick chopped it in half with his Samurai sword. The piece came rolling towards DaFlea’s feet, as the Tick smirked at him.
“Hah,” boasted the Tick as DaFlea pick up the other half, carefully watching them.
He launched towards them, jumping from side to side, ducking underneath the swinging sword. This time, DaFlea managed to land a clean blow to the side of the Tick’s head, while simultaneously blocking the other’s sword before he could strike down.
“Hah,” DaFlea mocked back.
Bruce Flea knocked away two ninja stars flung at him, sending them flying off as he hit back with the Nun chucks.
The Cloaked Flea pulled out his Sai’s, as Bruce Flea drew closer.
As the two battled it out, their sounds radiated out.
“Hai-yah!”
“Eee-yah!”
“Hiyah!”
Bruce Flea knocked both Sia’s from his hands, before sending him flying with a sidekick flat on his chest.
The Cloaked Flea crashed into the wall, before collapsing.
DaFlea got caught up in a rear-naked chokehold but managed to twist around as the Tick didn’t have his hold in deep enough. He pushed against the Tick’s chest, forcing some distance between them, before smashing down with his forehead straight onto his nose.
“That should do it,” DaFlea said, looking at the Tick lying on the floor.
Bruce, Fria and Freddy all came rushing towards him, as DaFlea looked at the combination lock.
“Damn it! It’s right there,” DaFlea said, pointing towards the vial.
“Hold on,” Freddy said, “I saw them doing this.”
Freddy was pacing up and down, trying to recall the combination, as Bruce Flea stepped in to take a closer look.
