And here is the next episode:
Chapter 4 – Evil puppy toy It took approximately 15 minutes of walk for the five puppies to get to the house of Cruella's niece, Ivy de Vil, who might be keeping their lost friend Smiley hidden.
„Is it that house, Cuddly?“ Olwe asked, pointing to a colorful, not too big house.
„Yes, that's it!“ Cuddly answered.
„Wow, looks so joyful“, Joey said. „Who could imagine that it's owner is so evil?“
„Indeed...“ Shadow said. „Well, let's go on!“
As they walked closer to the house, they saw a Dalmatian puppy next to the door. „It's a Dalmatian in the garden!“ Cuddly exclaimed. „Let's go!“
All the five puppies ran to the door of Ivy's house. As they came close, they saw that the Dalmatian puppy wasn't real. It was a toy.
„Wow, who could imagine that?“ Clayton said. „Ivy de Vil likes puppy plushies?!“
„Something is suspicious about this thing!“ Olwe said.
„It looks so cool!“ Joey said and stepped forward to it.
„Don't touch it, Joey!!“ Clayton exclaimed, but it was too late. Joey started to cuddle the plushie.
The toy's eyes suddenly glew red, and the toy started to growl at the five real puppies. Joey stepped back, frightened by it.
„All Ivy's toys are dangerous, Joey!“ Cuddly said. At that moment, the toy opened it's mouth and started to run after the puppies. It had sharp metal teeth.
„It's a freakin' robot!“ Shadow screamed, as all the five started to run panicly around Ivy's house.
„Let's get separated!“ Cuddly said. „He can't chase us all at the same time!“
„Good idea, Cuddly!“ Clayton said. „Joey, you go with me!“
The puppies ran around in different directions. Clayton and Joey hid in the bushes. Shadow and Olwe hid behind trees. The evil puppy robot continued chasing Cuddly. After a long run around, the robot chased Cuddly back to the wall of Ivy's house. Cuddly couldn't escape anywhere. The toy was staring at him with it's red glowing eyes, and long sharp teeth prepairing to attack. The exhausted Cuddly was breathing hard, and growling back at the toy. The robot suddenly jumped towards Cuddly, but at that moment, Cuddly grabbed the robot's left eye and tore it off violently. The robot whimpered a bit, and at that moment Cuddly punched it's face and kicked him away. Holding the robotic eye, he ran away, knowing that the robot would come back for him. He hid in the bushes, where he found Clayton and Joey. Olwe and Shadow were behind two trees right next to the bushes.
„Cuddly, we've been so worried!“ Clayton said. „What did that thing do to you?“
„Better ask what did I do to it!“ Cuddly smirked, showing the robotic eye to Clayton. „I tore it's eye off and beat it up.“
„That's great!“ Clayton said. „So, we can go out of here?“
„I wouldn't recommend that“, Cuddly said. „The robot may attack us again.“
A minute later, they heard a fake canine growl coming closer.
„I told you, Clayton!“ Cuddly said.
„That is scary!“ Joey cried.
„Calm down, Joey, calm down!“ Clayton was comforting him.
The robot was approaching.
„How can a stupid robot find us everytime?!“ Olwe grumbled.
„Probably with his eyes!“ Cuddly said. „Look, these are sensors. They probably react on movements. And even though we are hidden, our bodies do move.“
„But you took it out, didn't you?“ Joey asked.
„It's other sensor still works properly, Joey“, Cuddly explained.
„Crap!“ Shadow said.
The robotic growl seemed to be louder and louder, as the robot was coming closer and closer. Cuddly suddenly smirked.
„What is it, Cuddly?“ Shadow asked. „Something popped on your mind?“
„Oh yeah, something awesome!“ Cuddly answered. „When the robot comes close enough, the four of you just run away screaming, and I will take care of that piece of crap! OK?“
„Right!“ Olwe said.
Some seconds later, the robotic puppy came to them. It was growling at them. At that moment Clayton, Joey, Shadow and Olwe started to run away. All of them were screaming. As they were moving much faster than Cuddly, the robot started to chase them. As it started to run faster, Cuddly grabbed it's tail and pulled the evil toy back.
„Come here, you wreck!“ Cuddly said and kicked the robot's stomach. The robot fell down for a moment. In the next second, Cuddly punched the robot's properly working eye. Some sparkles appeared, as the robot growled more. The other four puppies were watching from behind trees. Cuddly punched the sensor a few more times. It was completely broken. Cuddly tore it off and smashed it in many pieces.
„Now it's safe, guys!“ he said victoriously. „It can't see us anymore.“
„Let's go to Ivy's house now!“ Olwe said.
„Not just that, Olwe!“ Cuddly smirked. „We will take this crap next to the door. You will see what am I going to do.“
„Oh, alright“, Clayton shrugged, without knowing what idea came on Cuddly's mind.
Cuddly grabbed the robot's tail and dragged the robot to Ivy's house. The robot was just growling madly, but wasn't moving anymore. As Cuddly walked, Clayton, Joey, Shadow and Olwe were following him. Cuddly was still holding the first sensor that he had torn off.
When they came to the house, Cuddly left the robot in front of the door. He put the sensor on the ground, 0,5 meters from the robot.
„Now, how do we get in?“ Clayton asked. „That girl won't let us in just if we knock on the door.“
„There is an opened window!“ Shadow said, pointing to a window.
„You have a hawk eye, Shadow!“ Cuddly said.
The five puppies walked to the window. It was opened, and not too high. They could jump in. Cuddly jumped in first.
„It's safe!“ he said to the others. „Come in!“
As he said that, the other four puppies jumped in through the window. They were in the kitchen.
„Why does that monster have a kitchen, I wonder“, Cuddly said. „I bet she doesn't even know how to bake an egg!“
„No time for analysis, Cuddly!“ Clayton said. „We have to find Smiley, if he is here!“
„Right!“ Shadow said, and then started to shout:“SMILEY!!! SMILEY, BROTHER, ARE YOU HERE?!!!“
The puppies walked out of the kitchen. There was a corridor with several doors, leading to other rooms.
„SMILEYYY!!!“ the puppies shouted. No noise was heard, until a door opened.
„Where the hell does that ugly noise come from?!“ Ivy de Vil grumbled, walking out of her room. „Ooooooh, you naughty puppies, how did you enter my house?!!“
Ivy de Vil was a little girl, apparently innocent and cute. She had a black and white hair, just like her aunt Cruella, tied with red ribbons in two pigtails. Her dress looked like one worn by the princess of an animated fairy tale. But everyone knew it was false impression. Ivy de Vil was a dangerous and evil little girl, maybe even worse than her aunt Cruella.
The five puppies growled madly at her. She opened her teddy bear and took a pocket knife out of it. She raised her hand with the knife in it. Instead of getting scared, the puppies jumped madly on her and bit her arms and legs, as hard as they could. Shadow bit her dress and tore it.
„OUUUUCH!!!“ Ivy moaned, as the puppies were biting her arms and legs. The knife fell out of her hand, but she succeeded to kick them away. Fortunately, none of them was injured.
„You piece of De Vil crap!“ Cuddly said. „Now let's find my brother!“
They entered one room. It was full of, apparently ordinary, toys. But the pups knew that every single one of those toys had something dangerous inside.
„I'm not sure I want to touch those things!“ Shadow said.
„We have to!“ Cuddly said. „If we overcame that robot, these things can't hurt us. Just move them away and look around. Smiley may be tied somewhere behind these toys.“
„You're right, Cuddly!“ Shadow said. The five puppies were moving the toys around. Fortunately, none of those was an aggressive robot. Some minutes later, the whole room was in a mess. It was more than clear that Smiley wasn't there. They left the room messy and came back to the corridor. Ivy was still there, growling of pain in her legs. The pups entered another room. There was a computer and the wardrobe. They checked everything, but no puppy was imprisoned there either. There were two rooms left to explore. It took them 15 minutes to do it, but they didn't find Smiley. Obviously, Ivy de Vil didn't have Smiley hidden in her house.
„Seems that the girl was innocent“, Joey said.
„Maybe for this“, Cuddly smirked. „But she is a twisted-minded De Vil anyway. Let's set her the final trap!“
When the pups came out of the room, they saw Ivy standing on two legs. She got mad when she saw them.
„GET OUT OF MY HOUSE, MONGRELS!!!“ she screamed.
The five puppies ran to the door, pretending to be scared.
„GET OUT!!!!!“ Ivy screamed more, opening the door. As she opened them, the pups ran out. At that moment, Ivy saw her eyeless evil robot.
„Oh, Toothy, dear, what did they do to you?!“ Ivy said, squatting down to the robot which was still growling but not moving. His eye holes were apparently staring at Ivy. At that moment, Cuddly smirked to the other pups. He took the first sensor that he had torn out, and put it back into the robot's eye hole. The robot could see again. The first movements that it noticed were Ivy's movements in front of him. The robot suddenly jumped on Ivy and started to bite her.
„OUUUCH!!!“ Ivy screamed more. „Don't bite me, you stupid thing!!“
„Run!!“ Cuddly said, and the five puppies ran far away from Ivy's house while Toothy was still biting his pet.
„Cuddly, that was awesome!!“ Shadow said, laughing out loud. Joey and Olwe were laughing too, even Clayton who was usually the voice of the reason.
„Totally great!“ Olwe said.
Everyone was laughing, except Cuddly. Cuddly wasn't happy. Even though he set a trap to a wicked member of the odious De Vil family, he still didn't find his brother.
„Smiley wasn't here, obviously“, Cuddly said very seriously. „Next destination, P.H.'s laboratory“
As the others heard the serious tone of Cuddly's voice, they immediately stopped laughing. It was more than clear why was he that serious, even after a funny trap he had set for Ivy de Vil. The five puppies walked in the direction of the laboratory owned by Cruella's cousin P.H. de Vil.
