Chapter 9

Wednesday morning, The boys, in their personal spaces began their morning ritual starting with getting ready for school, the only thing that was different was the slight change in today's plan. Today their awful mayor is planning something big in order to trick the people of Velvet City into re-electing him. But Sylvester and Teddy were ready to do whatever it took to help their city. "Here's your coffee," said Teddy handing Sylvester his cup. "I feel so anxious about leaving school early, how are we going to sneak out without being caught?" asked Sylvester taking a comforting sip of his coffee. "It's Simple, the mayor's speech about his future plans will happen around 1ish after lunch we hide in the bathroom and we sneak out the window," said Teddy keeping his voice down. "wait which bathroom?" asked Sylvester. "second-floor boys," said teddy with a sound of Dredd. "I pray this works," said Sylvester sipping more of his coffee before walking into the school.

As Teddy sat in class he listened as his teacher talked about plant science. "That is why some plants create their own poison, this ensures protection for the plant itself. For example Apple seeds and leaves produce cyanide or the castor bean plant causes vomiting and death". "wait, Mr.Brass, does plant poisons have to be ingested to affect the predator?" asked Teddy curious. "Of course not, Poison ivy poisons just by touch," said the teacher. Soon Teddy had thought and began looking up poisonous plants. In Sylvester's Class, he felt bored as he listened to his teacher's lecture on the world war. he began to nod off and eventually fell asleep with his head resting on his desk subtle. Soon the bell rang and class was over, Sylvester woke up and packed up his stuff, and left for lunch.

"Are you ready?" asked Teddy as he put his phone in his pocket. "wait, babe, I feel like this is the part in the comics or movie where the heroes have the final battle with the villain, I just want you to know that I love you and promise me you won't get yourself killed?" said Sylvester. "Sly I promise you that I won't get myself killed, you promise me you won't get yourself killed too," said Teddy wrapping his arms around Sylvester as he looks up to his cool gaze. "I promise," said Sylvester kissing him. After they get themselves together they soon changed into their uniforms. Teddy soon grew a sturdy branch ladder to the bathroom window and opened it, he soon slipped out of the window and began to free fall from a few feet until he fell into a soft bush that broke his fall making his landing a soft one. soon Sylvester followed landing with no assistance and getting up fine. "Let's get to that train," said Teddy. soon the two made their way to the train, they got to a stop and noticed many people praising them and then some angry with them. "Please guys we're trying to stop an accident, I'm sorry but if you can find another route to work or whatever it would save your lives," said Thorns. Soon everyone started asking questions and recording and yelling at them, once the train came it didn't stop. as Sly and Thorns shared a look they jumped on the train and got a good grip. they moved fast to get inside and the few passengers were confused and frightened. "what's going on here guys?" asked Sylvester. "We don't know we were riding the train and it never stopped I missed my stop home," said a Passenger. "sly can you get to the end of the train I'll get to the other end, the henchman must be in one sabotaging the train." said Thorns. "Alright but be careful Thorns," said Sly. soon they split and traveled to either side of the train ends, Once Sly burst into one end he saw an empty conductors seat. "crap, Hey Jesse can you help me figure out how to fix this runaway train, it's not stopping" said Sly talking in his com. "alright listen to my instructions" said Jesse.

Once Thorns got the door opened he saw the man Mayor Dixie hired to sabotage the train. he was fussing trying to put on a parachute. "Fleeing the crime scene," said Thorn before wrapping the goon in thick vines. "let me go you black bastard," said the goon. "why would I do that?" asked Thorn. "because we'll both die idiot," said the goon. "please, my partner is on the other side stoping the train right now as we speak," said Thorn. "you fucking dumb ass if the train stops we explode, the guy that hired me wanted a fail-proof way to make sure this train gets a tragic end. "shit, Jesse you have to make sure this train doesn't come to a complete stop their a bomb rigged to it." said Thorns. "that's not good" said Jesse. "meanwhile I'll get the passenger to one car so its easier to save everyone." said Thorns. while Thorns and Sly work on saving the train, they just rush past the Mayor's Speech. "And Those of just a fraction of the changes I hope to implement once I'm re-elected," said Mayor Dixie Soon everyone witness the train move to pass them in an unusual flash. "That's not good, excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, I've been keeping a secret from you all but I must go save the innocents on that runaway train," said Mayor Dixie as he took a step back and Leaps high into the air and land on the train rails as he runs after the train. soon the press gasped and ran to follow the news.

"Okay we're slowing down the train but we got bad news, Dixie's here," said Sly. looking out the window of the conductor's seat. "okay everyone was slowing down but once we get over the ocean I need you all to jump onto the giant flowers and you'll float to shore okay" said Thorns. With the instruction given, Thorns pulled the emergency door open lever and began growing trampoline-sized daisies and had the passengers ride on them soon everyone was off the train thorns watched as they all landed on the beach but didn't see Mayor Dixie swinging inside the train car knocking him into a seat. "You faggots teenagers will not ruin my plans again damn it," said Mayor Dixie cracking his knuckles. soon Thorns got up from the ground, wiping the blood from his mouth. "call me faggot one more time" said Thorns. "I don't need to but I will, Faggot" said Mayor Dixies, soon Thorn produced a tree trunk-sized vine that punched Dixie in the face and then began to tie him down onto the train floor. "soon Sly meet Them in their car. "What I miss, damn did I miss the ass-kicking part?" asked Sly. "Nope no just in time," said Dixie breaking free of Thorns Vines, he soon lunged at the two and they begin an epic game of back and forth Dixie relied on his super strength but Sly and Thorns used their other powers to evade getting caught by his hands. unfortunately Sly slipped and Dixie grabbed him by the leg and threw him against Thorns, he soon climbed to the top of the train and jumped in front of it causing the train to halt to a stop triggering the bombs but before it could blow up Dixie jumps from the railing safely on the street.
