In the Spaceship for the Trip to Blaycor

With his voice cut off now the Darkness had to come up with another way tohypnotize Princess Kimma.“Drat,” he remarked. “I really dislike those meddling twins and their stupid littlePlant Babies. No wonder I like chemicals that make plants shrivel and die. I will have tomake a list of all the planets where Plant Babies are grown and try to wipe them out.”He turned around to think about his seven Clouds of Chaos and choose whocould best hunt down the spaceship carrying Princess Kimma. Sarillion was irritatinglybalanced in harmony most of the time and he much preferred chaos. He didn’t wantSpec and Tra to foil another one of his plans for clouding the Universe. He desperatelywanted Planet Sarillion for himself so he had to cloud Princess Kimma so she couldn’tinterfere. Why just an hour ago it looked like he was going to bring the planet into hiscontrol easily and quickly. He was so close to getting this step of his master plan inplace. If he could cloud Sarillion, all the other planets in this part of the Universe wouldfall like dominos. How could those busy body Idea Seekers have discovered his goal todarken Sarillion and step in when things were going so well for him?

“Angry Cloud, Proud Cloud, go now the two of you and bring me back thatspaceship,” commanded the Darkness to two of his most skilled Clouds. But wait, whatwas this? Could it be the two Clouds were arguing so loudly that they were not listeningand leaving right away as he had dictated?“I don’t know why such a sophisticated fellow such as myself has to work with thelikes of a loud, aggressive, big mouth like you,” complained Proud Cloud polishing hisfingernails on his chest and looking at the effect. “Why, I think I am the best of all theClouds. I’m sure our Lord of Darkness would agree. I have charm, I am subtle, I can actunseen when I want to.”“Act unseen?” snorted Angry Cloud. “Unseen because you are called on lessoften than I am. I am sent out on many more missions than you. In fact, I was just atPlanet Harmon last month.”“But of course,” sneered Proud Cloud. “And we all know how successful youwere there. Not!”“I would have been successful if it hadn’t been for those annoying twins, Specand Tra. Don’t those two ever take a rest?” fumed Angry Cloud. “I would say since I getmore jobs than you do, that would make me the favorite Cloud of our Lord Darkness. Imight be rough and noisy, but everyone knows I’m there when I enter a room. Andpeople turn around after I mist them and act just like me, yelling and bullying everyoneelse around them. Why if you keep up those snooty airs of yours, I’ll be glad to show youpersonally what anger can do by knocking you into the next solar system.”“See, I rest my case. Always the bully. No clever talking for you to get people tobelieve our words are their own. Why brute strength is the only thing you have going foryou. I am so glad that I am me instead of you,” sniffed Proud Cloud as he rolled his eyesand looked down his nose at Angry Cloud.Angry Cloud made a loud roar and got ready to make a charge on Proud Cloudlike a raging bull. But just then the Darkness came between the two of them.
