Max looked once again on his Friendzy feed. The message glared white in his mind.
"All who are interested in joining the task force report to the Onyx arena. In 3 Numbers"
He had to run fast in order to get here in time. It was a good thing he really didn't need to breath. It was still the third Number so he hoped he wasn't late.
He made his way to the Arena. He was surprised at how few blobs there were. He was hoping that there would be more blobs who wanted to help other blobs.
He looked around trying to spot Parabellium. He noticed a black/Blue blob with a small horn, chatting with another blob. And another rather cute wolf blob. He might have to go say hi too.
Finally he spotted Parabellium. He was sitting on a rather large boulder that sat more or less in the center of the Arena.
He seemed to notice Max at the same time Max had found him.
"Excuse Me!" Parabellium's Voice rang out across the grounds. The low hum of blobs talking fell silent. All except the black cat blob. who's voice was heard loud and clear.
"And then I was waiting and waiting....." "Oh sorry." She said.
Parabellum stood up so that all could hear. "Thank you all for coming and having an interest in defending other cities and towns from Vermin and his army.
To make sure that your devotion to helping others is geniiun I have a small task for you.
As you may have heard. Vermin and his army have buried blobs on the out skirts of the city. I want you to go and find them and dig them out. Bring them back here so that I can um, question them about the strategy that was used against them.
Now go! And good luck!"
Parabellium waved them off.
There were blobs still buried out at that town? Max shivered. He could not even think of being buried. It made his skin crawl. All that sand. Brr.
Well he did want to be in the group of defenders and he could not leave a blob buried so he set out toward B's Town.
This was the tenth hole he had dug. His paws were starting to hurt and no blob to show for it.
He would dig one more then he would need to stop and rest.
As he dug sand piled up behind him and the hole kept getting bigger and deeper. And Max's paws were get sore to the point where he knew he would have to stop soon. He was about to give up on this hole when his paw struck something other then more sand. 'Could this be a blob.' Max thought.
As he dug he uncovered a gold/brass colored blob. With the Largest set of teeth he had ever seen on a blob.
He wasn't sure if this blob had been one of Vermins crew but he couldn't leave it down in the hole.
He reached down to grab at the blob when he felt sharp pinpricks in his arm. The Blob bit him!!! He flung his arm up dragging the blob out still attached to his arm.
"Let go!" Max shouted as he flung his arm about trying to get it to come off.
With a squeal of laughter the blob let go and was flung high into the air only to come crashing down near the hole.
"Gah. Look at what you have done to me. " Max said while he showed the blob the slowly healing cuts in his arm.
The blob bounced closer. "Maw sorry. " It said. But the smile it beamed up at Max was a little too wide.
"Some how I don't believe you" Max growled at the blob.
It Just grinned back up at him.
He had found his blob. Now he Just had to get it back to Parabellium.
"Come on, We got a long Journey a head of us. " Max said.
"Maw come? Maw not alone? Asked the blob bouncing beside him.
"Yes, Yes. Maw come." Max answered.
The grinning blob was quiet for a bit. "What's Name?"
"Names Maxamillion"
