Experiment X
By William
Boss: Ah, what a nice night...
Boss was walking around out side the clubhouse looking for food. All the other Ham-hams had
gone home. Suddenly, two men wearing white lab jackets and carrying flashlights ran towards
him.
Boss:Ah! Humans! Dabadabadabadaba...
Boss wasn't fast enough to outrun the two men. One of the the men lunged and grabbed him
around the waist.
Man 1:I got him, Steve!
Steve: Good, give him to me!
Steve held Boss at eye level.
Steve: None of the other hamsters survived experiment X, but I have a feeling you will.
Before Boss could even try to resist, the other man injected him with a knockout drug and he
passed out.
***
It was another morning in the Ham-ham clubhouse. It has been a week since Boss's
disapearance, and the Ham-hams were starting to get worried.
Hamtaro: Hamha! Any sign of Boss yet?
The Ham-hams shook their heads. Suddenly Maxwell burst through the door.
Maxwell: I think you guys may want to see this!
The Ham-hams follow Maxwell outside.
Sandy: What is it, Maxy?
Bijou: Have you found any clues to where Boss is?
Maxwell: Yeah, look. These footprints were made by a human. And look over here...
Panda: Those are Boss's footprints!
Maxwell: Yeah, and they end right here, but the human prints keep on going.
Sandy: Weird.
Hamtaro: Hey guys, come here!
The Hams rush over to where Hamtaro is standing, and they see a few small red spots on the
ground.
Cappy: Is that?
Maxwell: Yeah... it's blood.
Bijou: Oh Hamtaro, i'm so worried. Do you think Boss is alright?
Hamtaro: I hope so, Bijou.
*********************************************************** *********************************
Boss was starting to lose hope of ever seeing the Ham-hams again. He wondered if he would
ever be able to tell Bijou how much he loved her. Please God, he silently asked. Let me live
through this. One of the men, Steve, was mixing chemicals. He poured some ot it into a shot.
Steve: You're lucky. You are going to be the first to survive Experiment X. You see, our
goal is too create a perfect human by giving him enhanced speed, brain power, and strengh.
He will become virtually invincible. But before we can test it on humans, we must test it on
you.
He injects Boss with the formula.
Boss: (thinking) hey, that wasn't so ba...AAAAAAAGGGHH!
Boss starts to feel immense pain in his head. The last thing he sees is the Steve, watching.
Steve: Christ, we lost him!
Boss starts to float up from his dead body. Eventually he sees a bright light.
Boss: N-no! I'm not ready to die yet!
Voice: Your wish has been granted.
Boss wakes up, back in his cage.
Man: Woah, what happened to him?
Steve: It worked. It actually worked.
***
Man: I think something went wrong.
Steve: Shut up, John. He's been mutated into the perfect creature.
Boss was shocked to find out he had been turned into a strange blob. He no longer had arms
or legs. He actually knew how to control his new body, almost like he had it forever.
Steve: He has become invincible. His only weakness...
Steve lights a match and lowers it towards "X". X backs away into a corner and hisses.
Steve: ...Is fire.
X: X...
X shoots himself up into the air and knocks the match out of Steve's hand. He then launches
himself at the gas tank, tearing a hole in it and causing the gasoline to pour on the
ground. He forms the bottom part of his body into a pair of legs and runs out of the
lab with immeasurable speed. The gasoline goes closer to the lit match on the floor.
Steve: God no...
The lab explodes, the chemicals making the explosion bigger. It causes a chain reaction,
making the entire building eventually explode. By that time X was already in the forest,
heading for the Ham-ham clubhouse.
X:Ham-hams...
***
Laura: You look sad for some reason, Hamtaro.
Hamtaro: (Of course I'm sad, Laura. My best friend is missing and I think he might be dead.)
Laura: Well, whatever the problem is, I hope you feel better. See ya later!
Will I ever see Boss again? Hamtaro wondered as Laura left for school. Is he even still
alive? And if he he is, where is he?
************************************************************** ******************************
TWO HOURS LATER
Pashmina: Any sign of Boss yet?
Hamtaro: No. We have been searching all day.
Bijou: I hope he is alright.
Hamtaro: He's probably fine. I think Boss would be able to take care of himself.
********************************************************* ***********************************
Meanwhile, a strange white hamster was walking through the woods when he smelled a familiar
scent.
???: Hamsters!
He walks towards the scent, but suddenly a stange pink creature drops down from a tree and
almost falls on him.
???: Whoa! What the heck are you? You don't look like any hamster i've ever seen.
The creature didn't say anything, just stared at him with cold red eyes. There was something
about the eyes that sent a cold chill down his spine, yet the creature looked oddly familiar.
Suddenly, the creature raised a tentacle and hit him in the stomach, causing him to cough up
blood. The creature then wrapped it's tentacles around his neck and lifted him into the air.
???: W-what are you?
X: You really want to know?
The creature's voice was deep and unearthly, yet sounded a little bit like the voice of
someone he once knew. The creature's face peeled back to reveal the face of...
???: B-boss! No way!
Boss gave him an evil smirk and tightened the tentacles around his neck.
???: No...
The last thing he saw were the two eyes before everything went black.
***
Am I dead? ...I have to be. I stopped breathing, didn't I? And this is heaven, isn't it? It
has to be. Wait, everything is coming into focus. I'm in a room. How did I get here? And why
did Boss attack me?
Pashmina: Is he waking up?
Sandy: I think so.
Voices?
Sandy: Pashmina, I really have to help the others, so...
Pashmina: I understand. I'll stay here with him.
I hear the door shut. Where am I? There is someone standing over me. I still can't see very
clearly. I see... pink...
Pashmina: Are you okay?
???: W-where am I?
Pashmina: The Ham-ham club house.
???: Ham...hams?
The strange hamster passes out again.
*********************************************************** *********************************
30 MINUTES LATER
Maxwell: So you just found him lying there?
Sandy: Yeah. He looked pretty beat up.
Maxwell: That's weird.
Panda: Hey, do you guys smell that?
Bijou: Yes! it smells like... like Boss!
Penelope: Ookyoo!
They hear a rustling in a bush.
Oxnard: W-what was that?
Panda: I dunno, I'll go check.
*********************************************************** *********************************
??? wakes up. He sits up and looks around the room. He sees a white and brown hamster with a
pink scarf looking at him from across the room.
Pashmina: You okay?
???: Yeah. Who are you?
Pashmina: I'm Pashmina. What's your name?
???: I'm William.
Pashmina: What happened to you?
William: An old... friend of mine named Boss attacked me.
Pashmina: You know Boss?!
William: Yeah, why?
Pashmina: He's been missing for a few days. The other ham-hams are looking for him.We thought
he was dead!
William: Dead? Ha!
Pashmina: Have you seen him? Where is he!
William: Uh... I don't think you would want to find him right now...
Pashmina: Why?
William:He's changed. He's not a normal hamster anymore.
Pashmina: What do you mean?
William: Listen, we have to warn your friends. Boss is dangerous.
William gets out of the bed and walks to the door.
William: Nice scarf.
Pashmina: Oh... thanks.
Pashmina blushes and follows him through the door. In the main room Snoozer was asleep on
the table.
Snoozer: Help him, he's in trouble...
William: What?
Snoozer: Panda's in trouble... go help him...
William: How do you know this?
Snoozer: Zu zu zu...
Pashmina: You should listen to him. He's almost always asleep, so he sees things in his
dreams.
William: Dang.
************************************************************ ********************************
As Panda aproaches the bush, a tentacle shoots out and wraps itself around his arm.
Panda: Ah! L-let go!
The tentacle bends Panda's arm in the opposite direction and breaks it. He then tosses Panda
up into the air and uses his other tentacle to slam him back down.
Cappy: Oh no! Panda!
Sandy runs foward to check on Panda, but a strange creature rises from the ground in front
of her, blocking her path. It shape-shifts into the shape of a snake. The snake bites down
on her arm.
Sandy: AHH! My arm!
Maxwell: S-sandy!
The snake lets go and backs up, ready to lunge.
***
The snake prepares to lunge at Sandy. Maxwell starts punching the snake to distract it.
Maxwell: Leave her alone!
X: Foolish hamster. You should die.
The snake wraps his tail around Maxwell's waist.
Maxwell: Hey! Let go of me!
With a flick of his tail, he tosses Maxwell into the air and bites him in his midsection.
Maxwell falls to the ground.
Sandy: Maxwell!
Maxwell: Don't worry, I'm...
Maxwell's body goes limp.
Sandy: Aah! No!
X goes back to his normal form.
X: He has 2 days to live. I'll be back by then. Then I'll kill you all.
Bijou: Who are you?
X: I can't tell you that. But it is kind of ironic, Bijou. I'm going to have to kill you,
the one I love.
Bijou: What?
Hamtaro: Wait! Why are you after us?
X: I can't tell you that.
X disapears into the ground. Just as he disapears, William and Pashmina run out of the
entrance to the clubhouse.
Pashmina: Whoa! What happened?
Dexter: Oh! Pashmina!
Penelope: Ookwee!
William: It was Boss...
********************************************************** **********************************
Hamtaro: So, Boss has turned into some kind of monster?
William: Yeah. I don't know how, but he did.
The ham-hams were all in the main room of the clubhouse except for Panda, Maxwell, and
Sandy, who were all healing.
Cappy: He said he would be back in two days.
Stan: Hey, that reminds me. He said Maxwell would be dead by then.
William: Well, I don't know if we'll be able to help him or not. I'll have to go check on
his condition.
William gets up and walks toward the door. Hamtaro notices that Bijou looks very sad and
confused.
Hamtaro: Bijou, what's wrong?
Bijou: He said he loved me. It's weird. I've never been able to see it before, but I guess I
love him too. But how could I love someone so evil?
Snoozer: It's not his fault.
Bijou: Huh?
Snoozer: It's not his fault. He's not in control. The X is controling him. Boss is still a
good guy. You just need to destroy the X.
Bijou: The... X?
*************************************************************** *****************************
Sandy: Oh Maxwell, please wake up...
Sandy was kneeling next to his bed, trying to wake him up, but it was no use. His eyes were
still open, so it looked like he was staring at the ceiling.
Sandy: Please don't die on me!
William: Hamha.
Sandy: Wha? Oh, hi Will.
William walks over to Maxwell's bed and places his hand on Maxwell's forehead. He closes his
eyes, so it looks like he's meditating.
Sandy: What are you doing?
William: I'm checking to see if we can save him.
William removes his hand from Maxwell's head.
William: I think we can help him.
Sandy: Really?
William: Yes. I'll have to make some antidote. I should be back in one day.
William leaves the room.
************************************************************ ********************************
William: I'll need someone to come with me.
William was back in the main room, explaining every thing to the ham-hams.
William: We will be gone for one day. We are going to need to get some things to make the
antidote.
Pashmina: I'll go.
All: You?
Pashmina: Yeah.
William: Okay... come on. We need to get going as soon as possible.
William leaves the clubhouse.
Hamtaro: Good luck, Pashmina!
Penelope: Ookyoo!
Pashmina: Seeya guys!
Pashmina follows William.
***
Pashmina: So what's the first thing we have to find?
William takes his list out of his backpack and reads it.
William: Let's see... we already have sunflower seeds, so next we need... a strawberry. Do
you know where we can find one?
Pashmina: Yeah. My owner, June, should have one.
As William and Pashmina head toward her house, a certain someone is watching.
X: So... they are trying to help him, huh? No matter. I'll just kill him later.
Boss's voice: No, you won't! I'll stop you somehow!
X: Oh please. What are YOU going to do? I'm in control of your body now.
Boss: You may think that, but I still have partial control...
X: What?
Boss: How could you not see it? That's why William's still alive! You would have killed him
if I hadn't took over! And when I told Bijou I loved her.
X: Partial control? Hah! That's not going to stop me from killing them...
Boss: There's no way I'm going to let you kill them!
X: Whatever.
******************************************************** ************************************
Howdy: Do you really think they will be able to help Maxwell?
Hamtaro: Probably. Will sounded like he knew what he was doing.
Dexter: I just hope Pashmina will be alright.
********************************************************* ***********************************
Panda: Is he doing any better?
Sandy just shook her head no, tears in her eyes. She ignored the pain in her arm as she
kneeled next to Maxwell. His condition seemed to get worse.
*********************************************************** *********************************
After Pashmina and William got the strawberry, they went to find the next item on their list...
rosethorns. After a few hours they found a florist, and removed the thorns from one of the roses.
William: Uh oh.
Pashmina: What's wrong?
William: I just realized it's going too be very hard for us to get the last item.
Pashmina: Why?
William: It's on The top of a tall mountain and we have to carry all this stuff.
Pashmina: Hey, no problem! We can drop this stuff off at the clubhouse!
William: Hey, good idea!
They went to the clubhouse, where Dexter and Howdy started fighting over who got to help
Pashmina carry in the stuff. By the time they had stopped fighting, William and Pashmina had
already stored it away somewhere and left.
William: Do they always fight over you like that?
Pashmina: Yeah. All the time.
William: Well, they should. You are very beautiful.
Pashmina: Th-thank you.
Both of their faces turn a bright red and they keep on walking. Neither of them said anything
untill they go to the train station and had boarded the train. They sat in a dark spot under
one of the chairs so no humans would see them and ate sunflower seeds.
Pashmina: So, (krmp krmp) what are we looking for?
William: It's called angeldust.
Pashmina: What's that?
William: It's a powder that comes from a flower called the Angel Ham flower. Only us hamsters
know about it, because it grows at the end of a small tunnel.
Eventually they arrived at their stop. Pashmina had to drag William out of the train because
he had fallen asleep. She pours water on him, and he wakes up. As they start walking toward
the mountain William is etremely cold because it is snowing and he is still soaked.
William: C-c-cold...
Pashmina: Oh, come on. Can't a field hamster like you take a little cold? (giggles)
William: E-easy for you to say, s-scarf girl.
Pashmina: Oh, stop being such a baby. Come here.
Pashmina partially undid her scarf and wrapped half of it around William. He felt warmer now,
but that might have been because the scarf was holding them so close that their cheeks were
touching. After 10 hours of walking, They finally reached the mountain, and took a rest.
************************************************************ ********************************
Laura was searching for hamtaro. She had come home from school and his cage was empty. The
phone rings.
Laura: Hello?
Kana: Laura, it's me!
Laura: Oh, hi Kana.
Kana: Laura, something weird is happening. Everyone's hamsters are missing! Oxnards gone, and
June and Kylie said Pashmina and Penelope are missing too!
Laura: Yeah, Hamtaro is missing too! What do you think is going on?
************************************************************** ******************************
William and Pashmina began to climb the mountain, following a trail going up to the top of the
mountian. William felt warmer now, so he was not wearing the scarf anymore.
William: Thanks for letting me use your scarf. It really helped.
Pashmina: No problem. How far of a walk will this be, anyway?
William: A few hours.
About 2 hours later, Will and Pashmina were about halfway up the mountain when a strong breeze
knocked Pashmina off the edge. William runs over to the edge and grabs her hand.
William: Don't worry, I've got you!
William tried to get her back up, but he was also being dragged toward the edge. Summoning
all of his strengh, he pulled her back onto the ledge. They both sat there, catching their
breaths.
Pashina: You saved me...
William: Oh, come on, do you really think I would just let you die like that?
Pashmina didn't say anything, just hugged him. He also wraps his arms around her. They sat
there like that for a few minutes. Then they looked deeply into each others eyes.
Pashmina: It's weird.
William: What?
Pashmina: We have only known each other for about a day, but I think I love you.
William: I love you too, Pashmina.
They kiss and continue on their way.
************************************************************* *******************************
THE NEXT DAY
William and Pashmina arrived at the clubhouse, where Dexter and Howdy started fighting over
who missed her more. While they were doing that, William squeezed the juice from the srawberry
into a cup. Then he grinds the rosethorns and suflower seeds into a fine powder and puts it
in the juice. He also puts some of the angeldust into the anditdote and mixes it all together.
Sandy helped Maxwell to drink it, and he seemed to get a little better.
William: He should be fine. But we still need to figure out how we are going to beat Boss...
Stan: Oh, I don't think that we need to worry about that. Boss isn't the enemy. HE is!
Stan was pointing directly at William.
William: What? If I was the enemy, would I be helping you guys?
Pashmina: Yeah, what the heck are you talking about? He's one of us!
All: Yeah!
Stan: Think about it. He wasn't around when we were attacked, was he? And none of this started
untill Pashmina found him! He probably just faked his injuries so he could get closer to us!
And how do we know that "antidote" wasn't poison? I bet he kidnapped Boss and killed him!
Cappy: Hey, he's right!
Howdy: Yeah, he must be that "X" person!
Penelope: Ookyoo!
Pashmina: No! It's impossible. I was with him right before you were attacked!
Stan: But were you with him the ENTIRE time?
Pashmina: Actually, no... I wasn't. He was going kind of fast through the tunnels, and I had
trouble keeping up...
Stan picks up a hamster-sized knife from a table.
Stan: So, are you going to give up? Or am I going to have to kill you?
William starts backing away from Stan.
William: Hey man, you're crazy! I'm not X!
Stan swings the knife at William, who quickly sidesteps it, the blade just grazing his shoulder
William runs, but Stan catches up and kicks him in the back, causing him to fall over. Then
Dexter and Howdy hold him up while Stan repeatedly punches him in the stomach.
Pashmina: Stop it! Leave him alone!
Stan ignores her and raises his knife, ready to strike. Before he does, William uses his free
legs to trip Howdy, causing him to let go. He dodges the blade and punches Dexter in the face,
breaking his glasses. He starts to run, but Stan grabs him and throws him against the wall.
Stan stabs at him with the knife but misses. However, the knife went through William's ear,
pinning him to the wall.
Stan: Nowhere for you to run, X. How do you expect to defend yourself now?
William: Like this.
William punches Stan in the stomach hard, knocking him out. Hamtaro and Bijou go to check on
Stan while Pashmina gets William down from the wall.
Pashmina: Are you okay?
William: Yeah, just fine. (coughs up some blood) I tried to tell him I wasn't X. But he wouln't
believe me. You believe me, right?
Pashmina: Yes. I do.
Hamtaro and Bijou carry Stan to the room where the other injured hams were. Dexter, Howdy and
Cappy turned back to William.
Dexter: We still think you did it.
Cappy: Yeah!
William: Oxnard, You don't think I did it, do you?
Oxnard: Well... yes... I mean no... I mean... AAAAAAGH! JUST DON'T HURT ME!!
Pashmina: Well I believe you anyway. And Penelope too. Right?
Penelope: Ookyoo!
William and Pashmina rub their cheeks together and make the Shmubby wubby sound. Howdy and
Dexter were shocked. Even though Dexter could not see very well, he could tell what was happening.
Dexter: Pashmina! You're in love with... with HIM?
Pashmina: Oh, didn't I tell you?
Howdy: Well, I guess he can't be X, then.
Cappy: What?
Dexter: If he loves Pashmina, he has to be one of us!
Cappy: Wha? But... oh, fine. I guess I believe you too.
Oxy, Cappy, Dex, and Howdy: Sorry we doubted you. Can you forgive us?
William: (anime sweatdrop) Um... yeah, sure.
Pashmina: It was really Stan's fault anyway.
Penelope: Ookwee.
********************************************************** **********************************
Outside the clubhouse, hidden from sight, X sat in wait.
X: Just one more day, ham-hams. Then you will all die.
***
Sandy: What happened to you, anyway?
Stan had just woken up from being knocked out and was wrapping a large bandage around where
he had been punched. When he was finished telling her what had happened, she started laughing.
Stan: What's so funny?
Sandy: (giggles) Will isn't X.
Stan: What? Come on, it's obvious.
Sandy: Just because X didn't show up untill Will did doesn't make them the same person.
Stan: Well, I'm going to have to fight him again anyway. When he beat me, my pride was damged.
Sandy: You mean your EGO was damaged. I think you owe him an apology.
Stan: Yeah, I guess you're right.
Stan gets up and leaves.
********************************************************** **********************************
William was in a spare room training for the fight with X. He had hung an acorn from the ceiling
with some string and was using it as a punching bag. Pashmina sat in the corner and watched
him.
Pashmina: You know, you really don't look like a field hamster.
William: Huh? What do you mean?
Pashmina: Well for one thing, your fur. It's really clean, and most of the time a feild hamster's
fur is dirty. And your whiskers are straight, not crooked.
William: I like to keep myself well groomed.
Pashmina: I've been wondering something... how do you know Boss?
William punches the acorn with all of his strengh, causing it to break in half. He wipes some
sweat off of his forehead. He walks over to Pashmina and sits down.
William: If you must know the truth, I wasn't always a field hamster. A few years ago, me and
my brother, Percy, had an owner. His name was Kevin, and he would always m.how to survive on our own. Then
Boss found us. He taught us how to take care of ourselves in the wild. But then, one day, Percy
was captured. He was taken to a pet store and eventually sold. I visited him every day. But one
day...
Pashmina looked over to William and noticed he was crying.
William: ...there was an explosion. Both him and his owner were killed. H-he was not just my
brother. He was my best friend.
Pashmina: (starting to cry also) That's so sad...
William turns to Pashmina and wipes away some of her tears.
William: Don't cry. What happened happened. There is no changing that. I didn't have a very
good life, but I'm sure that will change now that I've met you. You're the first good thing
that has happened to me in my entire life.
Pashmina and William kiss.
************************************************************ ********************************
Stan was walking toward the room. Hamtaro had told him where Will was, so he was going to apologize
for acusing him. But when he got there, he saw William and Pashmina kissing. First he felt shock,
then sadness, then rage. Who does he think he is? Stan wondered. First, disgracing my family
by beating me, now he takes my girl! Stan turns around and runs out of the clubhouse. He keeps
on running until he trips on a rock. He crawls over to a tree and sits against it, crying. How
could you, Pashmina? I loved you. ...he will pay. You'll both pay. I'll kill you both with my
bare hands!
X: You really wan't to kill them, don't you?
Stan: Wha? Who's there?
X rises from the ground in front of him.
Stan: YOU! What do you want with me?
X: I want to make you strong enough to beat him.
Stan: No foolin'? What's the catch?
X: There is no catch. However, it will be very painful.
Stan: I don't care! I'll do anything!
X: Very well.
X thrusts one of his tentacles forward and it pierces Stan's chest. He looks down and realized
that no blood was coming from the wound. Several smaller tentacles wrap around his heart and
he experiences the most intense pain he had ever felt in his entire life. It felt like lightning
had struck his heart. As sudden as the pain began, it ended. He felt stronger... faster...
INVINCIBLE.
X: How do you feel?
Stan: Tomorrow. Then they're DEAD.
************************************************************ ********************************
NIGHTTIME
William couldn't sleep. He kept on thinking of the fight with X. He looked over at Pashmina,
who was sleeping soundly. He decided to go get a drink of water. He gets out of his sleeping
bag and carefully stepped around all of the sleeping bags on the floor. When he entered the
main hall, he noticed Sandy was still awake.
William: Sandy! Why are you still up?
Sandy: Stan left earlier and never came back. I'm getting worried.
William: Don't worry. I'm sure he's fine. You should try to get some rest.
Sandy: Yeah, you're probably right. Hey William, I've been wondering something.
William: Yeah, what is it?
Sandy: You're not going to KILL X, are you?
William: I don't want to, but if I have to, I will.
Sandy: I see. Well, goodnight.
William: Goodnight.
******************************************************* *************************************
THE NEXT DAY
All the ham-hams were outside, waiting, with the exception of Panda and Maxwell. Oxnard was
scaredthe most, gripping his seed so tightly it started to crack. Sandy seemed more worried
than scared.
Sandy: D-do you think he already got Stan?
William: I hope not.
X rises from the ground.
X: Oh, I assure you, Stan is quite alright. Better than ever, actually.
Pashmina: So... that's X.
William: Listen X, I don't want to fight you. Are you going to give up, or am I going to have
to defeat you?
X: Oh, but I'm not going to be the one who fights. Come out, Stan.
Stan appears from behind X.
Stan: It's about time. I've been looking forward to this.
All: STAN?!
Sandy: Oh my god... what happened to you?
Stan looked the same, except he had sharp claws and his voice was deeper.
Stan: I've improved. And with my new strengh, I'll get my revenge on William.
William: Revenge? For what?
Stan: Not only for beating me, but also for stealing my girl!
William: YOUR girl? You don't own her, and neither do I, nor anyone else here!
Stan: No! She's mine, and for taking her from me you will die!
Stan raises his claws and charges at William. Stan is too fast for him to dodge and he slashes
William across the chest, leaving a deep gash and causing him to pass out. Stan raises his claws
again and prepares to strike.
Stan: Goodbye, William.
Pashmina: NO!
***
Stan raised his claws, preparing to kill William. As he was about to strike Will, something hit
him hard across the face and knocked him away.
Stan: What the?
Another punch hit him in the stomach and caused him to fall to his knees. He looked up at his
attacker, but instead saw a fist coming directly at his head and he got punched in the nose.
He wiped some blood from his nose and looked up again, and Sandy was standing over him. She
grabbed onto his head and pulled his face close to hers.
Sandy: I don't know what's wrong with you, but I'm not going to let you hurt William.
She knees him in the stomach, causing him to fall down again. He looks up at her and starts laughing.
Sandy: What's so funny?
Stan: This.
Stan raises his fist and hits her hard in the stomach, and she goes flying for about five feet
(yes, five HUMAN feet) before she hit a tree and fell to the ground.
Sandy: ...ouchichi...
Stan: I didn't want to have to kill you, Sandy, but you leave me no choice!
Stan raises his claws and runs at Sandy, preparing for an attack. Sandy notices she landed on
something hard and pulls it out from under her. It was Boss's shovel!
Stan: DIE!
Sandy knew what she had to do. As Stan ran towards her, she thrust the shovel forward and he
ran into it, impaling him. There was no sound now except gasps and muffled screams coming from
the ham-hams. Stan pulled the shovel from his stomach and looked at the wound, which was now
oozing purple blood.
Stan: You...
Stan falls down. A weird black mist seems to come from his wound and it heals, and his claws
also retract. He had returned to normal. Sandy was still in shock at what had happened.
X: Well, that was amusing.
William woke up from being knocked out and stood up. He rubs his head and looks around.
William: W-what happened? Where did Stan go?
Pashmina: You're okay!
Cappy: Sandy just beat Stan.
William: Sandy?
William looks over to where Sandy was and saw Stan laying on the ground. He walks over to her
and kneels down next to her.
William: You okay?
Sandy nods and faints from the shock. William has them taken to the room where Maxwell and Panda
were and turns to X.
X: Well, it looks like we are going to have to fight each other now.
William: I guess so.
Pashmina: Don't do it, William! He's too strong.
Dexter: She's right. It would be like suicide to try.
Penelope: Ookyoo!
William: I have to try.
X: Indeed. I am looking forward to a good challenge.
William: Well, you're gonna get one.
Hamtaro: I know you can do it, William!
Cappy: You're gonna X-terminate him!
William: Well, let's get this thing started!
X: Yes.
William and X charge at eachother, and prepare to attack.
***
William tries to punch X, but X dodges it and hits William in his wounded chest. Will yells in
pain and stumbles back a little bit. X then wraps a tentacle around Will's waist and tosses him
into a tree. Will shakes it off and runs toward X. X swings a tentacle at him again, but Will
ducks under it and kicks X in the stomach, knocking him back. Will tries to punch him, but he dodges
and slams Will to the ground.
X: I thought this was going to be a challenge.
William: S-shut up!
William tries to kick X but he grabs Williams foot and spins it, causing him to fall on his stomach.
X steps on William's back to make sure he can't move.
X: You call this a challenge? GIVE ME A CHALLENGE!
Pashmina: William, look out!
X raises his foot, trying to step on William, but he rolls out from under X's foot and trips
him. William grabs onto one of X's tentacles and swings him around over his head, then lets go and
X goes flying into a large rock. He gets up, but William is too quick and pokes him in the eyes.
While X rubs his eyes, William kicks him in the stomach, knocking him down.
William: How's that for a challenge?
X: Good, but you forgot something.
William: Wha?
X: I can extend.
X extends his tentacles and wraps them around William's waist, then tightens the tentacles. William
hears a cracking noise and realizes his ribs are starting to crack.
William: Let go...
X: Fine.
X tosses Will into the air and slams him back down again. He hits the ground hard, and Pashmina goes
to check on him.
Pashmina: William! Are you okay?
William: Y-yeah, just fine.
X: Don't interfere!
X punches Pashmina hard across the face, knocking her out. William catches her as she falls.
William: Pashmina!
Dexter and Howdy: No!
X starts to laugh.
William: Shut up!
X: Well then, come and get me.
William turns to Dexter and Howdy.
William: Take her to the clubhouse.
H & D: Right.
They take her to the clubhouse, and William turns to X. X steps back a bit because of the enraged
look on William's face.
William: YOU WANT A CHALLENGE?! I'LL GIVE YOU A CHALLENGE!
William runs at X and tries to punch him, but X dodges and hits him in the stomach hard, knocking him back.
William charges again, but X jumps over him and kicks him in the back, knocking him over. He
skids for a few feet before coming to a stop. He gets up and prepares to charge again, but something
holds him back. He turns around and sees...
Maxwell: Calm down, William.
William: Let go of me!
Maxwell tightens his grip.
Maxwell: CALM DOWN. You can't fight like this. Your anger is clouding your mind.
William: (sigh) You're right. Thanks, Maxwell. Hey, when did you wake up?
Maxwell: Just a few minutes ago. Now, go and beat him!
William: Right!
William gets up and runs toward X, who tries to punch him. William dodges and punches him in
the face, knocking him over. X hits him in the stomach and he gets knocked into a bush.
William: Ouchichi... heke? What's this?
William had landed next to an open box of matches. He took one out and examined it.
William: This should work perfectly.
William walks out of the bush.
X: So, back for more? Very well. DIE!
X extends his arm quickly towards William, who dodges it. The tentacle digs deep into the ground
next to him. As it retracts, he grabs onto it and gets pulled towards X and runs his match across
the gound, lighting it. When he gets close enough he lets go and thrusts the match foward, sticking
it into X's stomach. X looked down and widened his evil eyes in shock.
X: F-fire... NO! THIS CANNOT BE! AHHHHHH!
X explodes, sending goo flying all over the place. The ham hams look away, sheilding their eyes
from the explosion. When they look back, a very burnt Boss is standing where X was.
Boss: You did it...
Boss passes out.
************************************************************* *******************************
It was an hour after X was defeated, and Boss and Bijou were sitting on the hill together, looking
at the sunset.
Boss: Bijou, I have to tell you, I'm really sorry about what happened. I wasn't in control. You
have to believe me...
Bijou: Of course I believe you, Boss. I know you would never do something like that.
Boss and Bijou look into each others eyes and kiss. When they're done, Boss is surprised.
Boss: I'm sorry. I know you like Hamtaro. I don't want to interfere...
Bijou: Oh, Boss. Hamtaro was just a crush. I mean, he's nice and all, but you are the one I truly
love.
Boss and Bijou kiss again.
*********************************************************** *********************************
Stan: Sandy, you have to believe me! The X was controlling me!
Stan and Sandy had woken up, and Stan was trying to explain to Sandy that it wasn't his fault.
Sandy: I don't believe you.
Stan: (sighs) Okay. I'll tell you the truth. I had X make me stronger so I could get revenge.
But the power was too much for me to handle. I went insane... what was I thinking?
Stan turns away from her and starts crying. She sits down next to him and holds him close.
Sandy: Shhhh... it's okay. Stop crying.
Stan: Oh man, I'm so sorry I hurt you. Please forgive me...
Sandy: It's okay. I forgive you.
************************************************************* *******************************
Pashmina: Are you sure that your chest will be alright?
William: Yeah, it's fine.
William and Pashmina sat on a park bench, also looking at the sunset.
William: You know, I was really worried when X knocked you out.
Pashmina: Really?
William: Yeah. At first I thought you were dead. I would rather let X kill me than see you die.
Pashmina: And I would rather die than see you die.
William and Pashmina look at each other and kiss.
William: You should really be getting home. I'm sure your owner is wondering where you are.
Pashmina: I know. I just wish that this moment could never end.
William: Me too. I'll walk you home.
After a few minutes of walking, they showed up at June's house. June was sitting on the front
porch, crying.
Pashmina: Well, here we are.
William: Uh-uh.
Pashmina and William kiss and Pashmina starts running up the path to her house. Halfway there,
she turns and waves.
Pashmina: Seeya tomorrow!
William waves back and she runs up to June, who stops crying and looks down.
June: Pashmina! Where have you been? I was so worried!
June picks up Pashmina and runs back inside, and William turns and walks away. Boss said he could
live at the clubhouse, so he was headed there. As he walks he glances back at June's house.
William: Seeya tomorrow.
THE END
By William
Boss: Ah, what a nice night...
Boss was walking around out side the clubhouse looking for food. All the other Ham-hams had
gone home. Suddenly, two men wearing white lab jackets and carrying flashlights ran towards
him.
Boss:Ah! Humans! Dabadabadabadaba...
Boss wasn't fast enough to outrun the two men. One of the the men lunged and grabbed him
around the waist.
Man 1:I got him, Steve!
Steve: Good, give him to me!
Steve held Boss at eye level.
Steve: None of the other hamsters survived experiment X, but I have a feeling you will.
Before Boss could even try to resist, the other man injected him with a knockout drug and he
passed out.
***
It was another morning in the Ham-ham clubhouse. It has been a week since Boss's
disapearance, and the Ham-hams were starting to get worried.
Hamtaro: Hamha! Any sign of Boss yet?
The Ham-hams shook their heads. Suddenly Maxwell burst through the door.
Maxwell: I think you guys may want to see this!
The Ham-hams follow Maxwell outside.
Sandy: What is it, Maxy?
Bijou: Have you found any clues to where Boss is?
Maxwell: Yeah, look. These footprints were made by a human. And look over here...
Panda: Those are Boss's footprints!
Maxwell: Yeah, and they end right here, but the human prints keep on going.
Sandy: Weird.
Hamtaro: Hey guys, come here!
The Hams rush over to where Hamtaro is standing, and they see a few small red spots on the
ground.
Cappy: Is that?
Maxwell: Yeah... it's blood.
Bijou: Oh Hamtaro, i'm so worried. Do you think Boss is alright?
Hamtaro: I hope so, Bijou.
*********************************************************** *********************************
Boss was starting to lose hope of ever seeing the Ham-hams again. He wondered if he would
ever be able to tell Bijou how much he loved her. Please God, he silently asked. Let me live
through this. One of the men, Steve, was mixing chemicals. He poured some ot it into a shot.
Steve: You're lucky. You are going to be the first to survive Experiment X. You see, our
goal is too create a perfect human by giving him enhanced speed, brain power, and strengh.
He will become virtually invincible. But before we can test it on humans, we must test it on
you.
He injects Boss with the formula.
Boss: (thinking) hey, that wasn't so ba...AAAAAAAGGGHH!
Boss starts to feel immense pain in his head. The last thing he sees is the Steve, watching.
Steve: Christ, we lost him!
Boss starts to float up from his dead body. Eventually he sees a bright light.
Boss: N-no! I'm not ready to die yet!
Voice: Your wish has been granted.
Boss wakes up, back in his cage.
Man: Woah, what happened to him?
Steve: It worked. It actually worked.
***
Man: I think something went wrong.
Steve: Shut up, John. He's been mutated into the perfect creature.
Boss was shocked to find out he had been turned into a strange blob. He no longer had arms
or legs. He actually knew how to control his new body, almost like he had it forever.
Steve: He has become invincible. His only weakness...
Steve lights a match and lowers it towards "X". X backs away into a corner and hisses.
Steve: ...Is fire.
X: X...
X shoots himself up into the air and knocks the match out of Steve's hand. He then launches
himself at the gas tank, tearing a hole in it and causing the gasoline to pour on the
ground. He forms the bottom part of his body into a pair of legs and runs out of the
lab with immeasurable speed. The gasoline goes closer to the lit match on the floor.
Steve: God no...
The lab explodes, the chemicals making the explosion bigger. It causes a chain reaction,
making the entire building eventually explode. By that time X was already in the forest,
heading for the Ham-ham clubhouse.
X:Ham-hams...
***
Laura: You look sad for some reason, Hamtaro.
Hamtaro: (Of course I'm sad, Laura. My best friend is missing and I think he might be dead.)
Laura: Well, whatever the problem is, I hope you feel better. See ya later!
Will I ever see Boss again? Hamtaro wondered as Laura left for school. Is he even still
alive? And if he he is, where is he?
************************************************************** ******************************
TWO HOURS LATER
Pashmina: Any sign of Boss yet?
Hamtaro: No. We have been searching all day.
Bijou: I hope he is alright.
Hamtaro: He's probably fine. I think Boss would be able to take care of himself.
********************************************************* ***********************************
Meanwhile, a strange white hamster was walking through the woods when he smelled a familiar
scent.
???: Hamsters!
He walks towards the scent, but suddenly a stange pink creature drops down from a tree and
almost falls on him.
???: Whoa! What the heck are you? You don't look like any hamster i've ever seen.
The creature didn't say anything, just stared at him with cold red eyes. There was something
about the eyes that sent a cold chill down his spine, yet the creature looked oddly familiar.
Suddenly, the creature raised a tentacle and hit him in the stomach, causing him to cough up
blood. The creature then wrapped it's tentacles around his neck and lifted him into the air.
???: W-what are you?
X: You really want to know?
The creature's voice was deep and unearthly, yet sounded a little bit like the voice of
someone he once knew. The creature's face peeled back to reveal the face of...
???: B-boss! No way!
Boss gave him an evil smirk and tightened the tentacles around his neck.
???: No...
The last thing he saw were the two eyes before everything went black.
***
Am I dead? ...I have to be. I stopped breathing, didn't I? And this is heaven, isn't it? It
has to be. Wait, everything is coming into focus. I'm in a room. How did I get here? And why
did Boss attack me?
Pashmina: Is he waking up?
Sandy: I think so.
Voices?
Sandy: Pashmina, I really have to help the others, so...
Pashmina: I understand. I'll stay here with him.
I hear the door shut. Where am I? There is someone standing over me. I still can't see very
clearly. I see... pink...
Pashmina: Are you okay?
???: W-where am I?
Pashmina: The Ham-ham club house.
???: Ham...hams?
The strange hamster passes out again.
*********************************************************** *********************************
30 MINUTES LATER
Maxwell: So you just found him lying there?
Sandy: Yeah. He looked pretty beat up.
Maxwell: That's weird.
Panda: Hey, do you guys smell that?
Bijou: Yes! it smells like... like Boss!
Penelope: Ookyoo!
They hear a rustling in a bush.
Oxnard: W-what was that?
Panda: I dunno, I'll go check.
*********************************************************** *********************************
??? wakes up. He sits up and looks around the room. He sees a white and brown hamster with a
pink scarf looking at him from across the room.
Pashmina: You okay?
???: Yeah. Who are you?
Pashmina: I'm Pashmina. What's your name?
???: I'm William.
Pashmina: What happened to you?
William: An old... friend of mine named Boss attacked me.
Pashmina: You know Boss?!
William: Yeah, why?
Pashmina: He's been missing for a few days. The other ham-hams are looking for him.We thought
he was dead!
William: Dead? Ha!
Pashmina: Have you seen him? Where is he!
William: Uh... I don't think you would want to find him right now...
Pashmina: Why?
William:He's changed. He's not a normal hamster anymore.
Pashmina: What do you mean?
William: Listen, we have to warn your friends. Boss is dangerous.
William gets out of the bed and walks to the door.
William: Nice scarf.
Pashmina: Oh... thanks.
Pashmina blushes and follows him through the door. In the main room Snoozer was asleep on
the table.
Snoozer: Help him, he's in trouble...
William: What?
Snoozer: Panda's in trouble... go help him...
William: How do you know this?
Snoozer: Zu zu zu...
Pashmina: You should listen to him. He's almost always asleep, so he sees things in his
dreams.
William: Dang.
************************************************************ ********************************
As Panda aproaches the bush, a tentacle shoots out and wraps itself around his arm.
Panda: Ah! L-let go!
The tentacle bends Panda's arm in the opposite direction and breaks it. He then tosses Panda
up into the air and uses his other tentacle to slam him back down.
Cappy: Oh no! Panda!
Sandy runs foward to check on Panda, but a strange creature rises from the ground in front
of her, blocking her path. It shape-shifts into the shape of a snake. The snake bites down
on her arm.
Sandy: AHH! My arm!
Maxwell: S-sandy!
The snake lets go and backs up, ready to lunge.
***
The snake prepares to lunge at Sandy. Maxwell starts punching the snake to distract it.
Maxwell: Leave her alone!
X: Foolish hamster. You should die.
The snake wraps his tail around Maxwell's waist.
Maxwell: Hey! Let go of me!
With a flick of his tail, he tosses Maxwell into the air and bites him in his midsection.
Maxwell falls to the ground.
Sandy: Maxwell!
Maxwell: Don't worry, I'm...
Maxwell's body goes limp.
Sandy: Aah! No!
X goes back to his normal form.
X: He has 2 days to live. I'll be back by then. Then I'll kill you all.
Bijou: Who are you?
X: I can't tell you that. But it is kind of ironic, Bijou. I'm going to have to kill you,
the one I love.
Bijou: What?
Hamtaro: Wait! Why are you after us?
X: I can't tell you that.
X disapears into the ground. Just as he disapears, William and Pashmina run out of the
entrance to the clubhouse.
Pashmina: Whoa! What happened?
Dexter: Oh! Pashmina!
Penelope: Ookwee!
William: It was Boss...
********************************************************** **********************************
Hamtaro: So, Boss has turned into some kind of monster?
William: Yeah. I don't know how, but he did.
The ham-hams were all in the main room of the clubhouse except for Panda, Maxwell, and
Sandy, who were all healing.
Cappy: He said he would be back in two days.
Stan: Hey, that reminds me. He said Maxwell would be dead by then.
William: Well, I don't know if we'll be able to help him or not. I'll have to go check on
his condition.
William gets up and walks toward the door. Hamtaro notices that Bijou looks very sad and
confused.
Hamtaro: Bijou, what's wrong?
Bijou: He said he loved me. It's weird. I've never been able to see it before, but I guess I
love him too. But how could I love someone so evil?
Snoozer: It's not his fault.
Bijou: Huh?
Snoozer: It's not his fault. He's not in control. The X is controling him. Boss is still a
good guy. You just need to destroy the X.
Bijou: The... X?
*************************************************************** *****************************
Sandy: Oh Maxwell, please wake up...
Sandy was kneeling next to his bed, trying to wake him up, but it was no use. His eyes were
still open, so it looked like he was staring at the ceiling.
Sandy: Please don't die on me!
William: Hamha.
Sandy: Wha? Oh, hi Will.
William walks over to Maxwell's bed and places his hand on Maxwell's forehead. He closes his
eyes, so it looks like he's meditating.
Sandy: What are you doing?
William: I'm checking to see if we can save him.
William removes his hand from Maxwell's head.
William: I think we can help him.
Sandy: Really?
William: Yes. I'll have to make some antidote. I should be back in one day.
William leaves the room.
************************************************************ ********************************
William: I'll need someone to come with me.
William was back in the main room, explaining every thing to the ham-hams.
William: We will be gone for one day. We are going to need to get some things to make the
antidote.
Pashmina: I'll go.
All: You?
Pashmina: Yeah.
William: Okay... come on. We need to get going as soon as possible.
William leaves the clubhouse.
Hamtaro: Good luck, Pashmina!
Penelope: Ookyoo!
Pashmina: Seeya guys!
Pashmina follows William.
***
Pashmina: So what's the first thing we have to find?
William takes his list out of his backpack and reads it.
William: Let's see... we already have sunflower seeds, so next we need... a strawberry. Do
you know where we can find one?
Pashmina: Yeah. My owner, June, should have one.
As William and Pashmina head toward her house, a certain someone is watching.
X: So... they are trying to help him, huh? No matter. I'll just kill him later.
Boss's voice: No, you won't! I'll stop you somehow!
X: Oh please. What are YOU going to do? I'm in control of your body now.
Boss: You may think that, but I still have partial control...
X: What?
Boss: How could you not see it? That's why William's still alive! You would have killed him
if I hadn't took over! And when I told Bijou I loved her.
X: Partial control? Hah! That's not going to stop me from killing them...
Boss: There's no way I'm going to let you kill them!
X: Whatever.
******************************************************** ************************************
Howdy: Do you really think they will be able to help Maxwell?
Hamtaro: Probably. Will sounded like he knew what he was doing.
Dexter: I just hope Pashmina will be alright.
********************************************************* ***********************************
Panda: Is he doing any better?
Sandy just shook her head no, tears in her eyes. She ignored the pain in her arm as she
kneeled next to Maxwell. His condition seemed to get worse.
*********************************************************** *********************************
After Pashmina and William got the strawberry, they went to find the next item on their list...
rosethorns. After a few hours they found a florist, and removed the thorns from one of the roses.
William: Uh oh.
Pashmina: What's wrong?
William: I just realized it's going too be very hard for us to get the last item.
Pashmina: Why?
William: It's on The top of a tall mountain and we have to carry all this stuff.
Pashmina: Hey, no problem! We can drop this stuff off at the clubhouse!
William: Hey, good idea!
They went to the clubhouse, where Dexter and Howdy started fighting over who got to help
Pashmina carry in the stuff. By the time they had stopped fighting, William and Pashmina had
already stored it away somewhere and left.
William: Do they always fight over you like that?
Pashmina: Yeah. All the time.
William: Well, they should. You are very beautiful.
Pashmina: Th-thank you.
Both of their faces turn a bright red and they keep on walking. Neither of them said anything
untill they go to the train station and had boarded the train. They sat in a dark spot under
one of the chairs so no humans would see them and ate sunflower seeds.
Pashmina: So, (krmp krmp) what are we looking for?
William: It's called angeldust.
Pashmina: What's that?
William: It's a powder that comes from a flower called the Angel Ham flower. Only us hamsters
know about it, because it grows at the end of a small tunnel.
Eventually they arrived at their stop. Pashmina had to drag William out of the train because
he had fallen asleep. She pours water on him, and he wakes up. As they start walking toward
the mountain William is etremely cold because it is snowing and he is still soaked.
William: C-c-cold...
Pashmina: Oh, come on. Can't a field hamster like you take a little cold? (giggles)
William: E-easy for you to say, s-scarf girl.
Pashmina: Oh, stop being such a baby. Come here.
Pashmina partially undid her scarf and wrapped half of it around William. He felt warmer now,
but that might have been because the scarf was holding them so close that their cheeks were
touching. After 10 hours of walking, They finally reached the mountain, and took a rest.
************************************************************ ********************************
Laura was searching for hamtaro. She had come home from school and his cage was empty. The
phone rings.
Laura: Hello?
Kana: Laura, it's me!
Laura: Oh, hi Kana.
Kana: Laura, something weird is happening. Everyone's hamsters are missing! Oxnards gone, and
June and Kylie said Pashmina and Penelope are missing too!
Laura: Yeah, Hamtaro is missing too! What do you think is going on?
************************************************************** ******************************
William and Pashmina began to climb the mountain, following a trail going up to the top of the
mountian. William felt warmer now, so he was not wearing the scarf anymore.
William: Thanks for letting me use your scarf. It really helped.
Pashmina: No problem. How far of a walk will this be, anyway?
William: A few hours.
About 2 hours later, Will and Pashmina were about halfway up the mountain when a strong breeze
knocked Pashmina off the edge. William runs over to the edge and grabs her hand.
William: Don't worry, I've got you!
William tried to get her back up, but he was also being dragged toward the edge. Summoning
all of his strengh, he pulled her back onto the ledge. They both sat there, catching their
breaths.
Pashina: You saved me...
William: Oh, come on, do you really think I would just let you die like that?
Pashmina didn't say anything, just hugged him. He also wraps his arms around her. They sat
there like that for a few minutes. Then they looked deeply into each others eyes.
Pashmina: It's weird.
William: What?
Pashmina: We have only known each other for about a day, but I think I love you.
William: I love you too, Pashmina.
They kiss and continue on their way.
************************************************************* *******************************
THE NEXT DAY
William and Pashmina arrived at the clubhouse, where Dexter and Howdy started fighting over
who missed her more. While they were doing that, William squeezed the juice from the srawberry
into a cup. Then he grinds the rosethorns and suflower seeds into a fine powder and puts it
in the juice. He also puts some of the angeldust into the anditdote and mixes it all together.
Sandy helped Maxwell to drink it, and he seemed to get a little better.
William: He should be fine. But we still need to figure out how we are going to beat Boss...
Stan: Oh, I don't think that we need to worry about that. Boss isn't the enemy. HE is!
Stan was pointing directly at William.
William: What? If I was the enemy, would I be helping you guys?
Pashmina: Yeah, what the heck are you talking about? He's one of us!
All: Yeah!
Stan: Think about it. He wasn't around when we were attacked, was he? And none of this started
untill Pashmina found him! He probably just faked his injuries so he could get closer to us!
And how do we know that "antidote" wasn't poison? I bet he kidnapped Boss and killed him!
Cappy: Hey, he's right!
Howdy: Yeah, he must be that "X" person!
Penelope: Ookyoo!
Pashmina: No! It's impossible. I was with him right before you were attacked!
Stan: But were you with him the ENTIRE time?
Pashmina: Actually, no... I wasn't. He was going kind of fast through the tunnels, and I had
trouble keeping up...
Stan picks up a hamster-sized knife from a table.
Stan: So, are you going to give up? Or am I going to have to kill you?
William starts backing away from Stan.
William: Hey man, you're crazy! I'm not X!
Stan swings the knife at William, who quickly sidesteps it, the blade just grazing his shoulder
William runs, but Stan catches up and kicks him in the back, causing him to fall over. Then
Dexter and Howdy hold him up while Stan repeatedly punches him in the stomach.
Pashmina: Stop it! Leave him alone!
Stan ignores her and raises his knife, ready to strike. Before he does, William uses his free
legs to trip Howdy, causing him to let go. He dodges the blade and punches Dexter in the face,
breaking his glasses. He starts to run, but Stan grabs him and throws him against the wall.
Stan stabs at him with the knife but misses. However, the knife went through William's ear,
pinning him to the wall.
Stan: Nowhere for you to run, X. How do you expect to defend yourself now?
William: Like this.
William punches Stan in the stomach hard, knocking him out. Hamtaro and Bijou go to check on
Stan while Pashmina gets William down from the wall.
Pashmina: Are you okay?
William: Yeah, just fine. (coughs up some blood) I tried to tell him I wasn't X. But he wouln't
believe me. You believe me, right?
Pashmina: Yes. I do.
Hamtaro and Bijou carry Stan to the room where the other injured hams were. Dexter, Howdy and
Cappy turned back to William.
Dexter: We still think you did it.
Cappy: Yeah!
William: Oxnard, You don't think I did it, do you?
Oxnard: Well... yes... I mean no... I mean... AAAAAAGH! JUST DON'T HURT ME!!
Pashmina: Well I believe you anyway. And Penelope too. Right?
Penelope: Ookyoo!
William and Pashmina rub their cheeks together and make the Shmubby wubby sound. Howdy and
Dexter were shocked. Even though Dexter could not see very well, he could tell what was happening.
Dexter: Pashmina! You're in love with... with HIM?
Pashmina: Oh, didn't I tell you?
Howdy: Well, I guess he can't be X, then.
Cappy: What?
Dexter: If he loves Pashmina, he has to be one of us!
Cappy: Wha? But... oh, fine. I guess I believe you too.
Oxy, Cappy, Dex, and Howdy: Sorry we doubted you. Can you forgive us?
William: (anime sweatdrop) Um... yeah, sure.
Pashmina: It was really Stan's fault anyway.
Penelope: Ookwee.
********************************************************** **********************************
Outside the clubhouse, hidden from sight, X sat in wait.
X: Just one more day, ham-hams. Then you will all die.
***
Sandy: What happened to you, anyway?
Stan had just woken up from being knocked out and was wrapping a large bandage around where
he had been punched. When he was finished telling her what had happened, she started laughing.
Stan: What's so funny?
Sandy: (giggles) Will isn't X.
Stan: What? Come on, it's obvious.
Sandy: Just because X didn't show up untill Will did doesn't make them the same person.
Stan: Well, I'm going to have to fight him again anyway. When he beat me, my pride was damged.
Sandy: You mean your EGO was damaged. I think you owe him an apology.
Stan: Yeah, I guess you're right.
Stan gets up and leaves.
********************************************************** **********************************
William was in a spare room training for the fight with X. He had hung an acorn from the ceiling
with some string and was using it as a punching bag. Pashmina sat in the corner and watched
him.
Pashmina: You know, you really don't look like a field hamster.
William: Huh? What do you mean?
Pashmina: Well for one thing, your fur. It's really clean, and most of the time a feild hamster's
fur is dirty. And your whiskers are straight, not crooked.
William: I like to keep myself well groomed.
Pashmina: I've been wondering something... how do you know Boss?
William punches the acorn with all of his strengh, causing it to break in half. He wipes some
sweat off of his forehead. He walks over to Pashmina and sits down.
William: If you must know the truth, I wasn't always a field hamster. A few years ago, me and
my brother, Percy, had an owner. His name was Kevin, and he would always m.how to survive on our own. Then
Boss found us. He taught us how to take care of ourselves in the wild. But then, one day, Percy
was captured. He was taken to a pet store and eventually sold. I visited him every day. But one
day...
Pashmina looked over to William and noticed he was crying.
William: ...there was an explosion. Both him and his owner were killed. H-he was not just my
brother. He was my best friend.
Pashmina: (starting to cry also) That's so sad...
William turns to Pashmina and wipes away some of her tears.
William: Don't cry. What happened happened. There is no changing that. I didn't have a very
good life, but I'm sure that will change now that I've met you. You're the first good thing
that has happened to me in my entire life.
Pashmina and William kiss.
************************************************************ ********************************
Stan was walking toward the room. Hamtaro had told him where Will was, so he was going to apologize
for acusing him. But when he got there, he saw William and Pashmina kissing. First he felt shock,
then sadness, then rage. Who does he think he is? Stan wondered. First, disgracing my family
by beating me, now he takes my girl! Stan turns around and runs out of the clubhouse. He keeps
on running until he trips on a rock. He crawls over to a tree and sits against it, crying. How
could you, Pashmina? I loved you. ...he will pay. You'll both pay. I'll kill you both with my
bare hands!
X: You really wan't to kill them, don't you?
Stan: Wha? Who's there?
X rises from the ground in front of him.
Stan: YOU! What do you want with me?
X: I want to make you strong enough to beat him.
Stan: No foolin'? What's the catch?
X: There is no catch. However, it will be very painful.
Stan: I don't care! I'll do anything!
X: Very well.
X thrusts one of his tentacles forward and it pierces Stan's chest. He looks down and realized
that no blood was coming from the wound. Several smaller tentacles wrap around his heart and
he experiences the most intense pain he had ever felt in his entire life. It felt like lightning
had struck his heart. As sudden as the pain began, it ended. He felt stronger... faster...
INVINCIBLE.
X: How do you feel?
Stan: Tomorrow. Then they're DEAD.
************************************************************ ********************************
NIGHTTIME
William couldn't sleep. He kept on thinking of the fight with X. He looked over at Pashmina,
who was sleeping soundly. He decided to go get a drink of water. He gets out of his sleeping
bag and carefully stepped around all of the sleeping bags on the floor. When he entered the
main hall, he noticed Sandy was still awake.
William: Sandy! Why are you still up?
Sandy: Stan left earlier and never came back. I'm getting worried.
William: Don't worry. I'm sure he's fine. You should try to get some rest.
Sandy: Yeah, you're probably right. Hey William, I've been wondering something.
William: Yeah, what is it?
Sandy: You're not going to KILL X, are you?
William: I don't want to, but if I have to, I will.
Sandy: I see. Well, goodnight.
William: Goodnight.
******************************************************* *************************************
THE NEXT DAY
All the ham-hams were outside, waiting, with the exception of Panda and Maxwell. Oxnard was
scaredthe most, gripping his seed so tightly it started to crack. Sandy seemed more worried
than scared.
Sandy: D-do you think he already got Stan?
William: I hope not.
X rises from the ground.
X: Oh, I assure you, Stan is quite alright. Better than ever, actually.
Pashmina: So... that's X.
William: Listen X, I don't want to fight you. Are you going to give up, or am I going to have
to defeat you?
X: Oh, but I'm not going to be the one who fights. Come out, Stan.
Stan appears from behind X.
Stan: It's about time. I've been looking forward to this.
All: STAN?!
Sandy: Oh my god... what happened to you?
Stan looked the same, except he had sharp claws and his voice was deeper.
Stan: I've improved. And with my new strengh, I'll get my revenge on William.
William: Revenge? For what?
Stan: Not only for beating me, but also for stealing my girl!
William: YOUR girl? You don't own her, and neither do I, nor anyone else here!
Stan: No! She's mine, and for taking her from me you will die!
Stan raises his claws and charges at William. Stan is too fast for him to dodge and he slashes
William across the chest, leaving a deep gash and causing him to pass out. Stan raises his claws
again and prepares to strike.
Stan: Goodbye, William.
Pashmina: NO!
***
Stan raised his claws, preparing to kill William. As he was about to strike Will, something hit
him hard across the face and knocked him away.
Stan: What the?
Another punch hit him in the stomach and caused him to fall to his knees. He looked up at his
attacker, but instead saw a fist coming directly at his head and he got punched in the nose.
He wiped some blood from his nose and looked up again, and Sandy was standing over him. She
grabbed onto his head and pulled his face close to hers.
Sandy: I don't know what's wrong with you, but I'm not going to let you hurt William.
She knees him in the stomach, causing him to fall down again. He looks up at her and starts laughing.
Sandy: What's so funny?
Stan: This.
Stan raises his fist and hits her hard in the stomach, and she goes flying for about five feet
(yes, five HUMAN feet) before she hit a tree and fell to the ground.
Sandy: ...ouchichi...
Stan: I didn't want to have to kill you, Sandy, but you leave me no choice!
Stan raises his claws and runs at Sandy, preparing for an attack. Sandy notices she landed on
something hard and pulls it out from under her. It was Boss's shovel!
Stan: DIE!
Sandy knew what she had to do. As Stan ran towards her, she thrust the shovel forward and he
ran into it, impaling him. There was no sound now except gasps and muffled screams coming from
the ham-hams. Stan pulled the shovel from his stomach and looked at the wound, which was now
oozing purple blood.
Stan: You...
Stan falls down. A weird black mist seems to come from his wound and it heals, and his claws
also retract. He had returned to normal. Sandy was still in shock at what had happened.
X: Well, that was amusing.
William woke up from being knocked out and stood up. He rubs his head and looks around.
William: W-what happened? Where did Stan go?
Pashmina: You're okay!
Cappy: Sandy just beat Stan.
William: Sandy?
William looks over to where Sandy was and saw Stan laying on the ground. He walks over to her
and kneels down next to her.
William: You okay?
Sandy nods and faints from the shock. William has them taken to the room where Maxwell and Panda
were and turns to X.
X: Well, it looks like we are going to have to fight each other now.
William: I guess so.
Pashmina: Don't do it, William! He's too strong.
Dexter: She's right. It would be like suicide to try.
Penelope: Ookyoo!
William: I have to try.
X: Indeed. I am looking forward to a good challenge.
William: Well, you're gonna get one.
Hamtaro: I know you can do it, William!
Cappy: You're gonna X-terminate him!
William: Well, let's get this thing started!
X: Yes.
William and X charge at eachother, and prepare to attack.
***
William tries to punch X, but X dodges it and hits William in his wounded chest. Will yells in
pain and stumbles back a little bit. X then wraps a tentacle around Will's waist and tosses him
into a tree. Will shakes it off and runs toward X. X swings a tentacle at him again, but Will
ducks under it and kicks X in the stomach, knocking him back. Will tries to punch him, but he dodges
and slams Will to the ground.
X: I thought this was going to be a challenge.
William: S-shut up!
William tries to kick X but he grabs Williams foot and spins it, causing him to fall on his stomach.
X steps on William's back to make sure he can't move.
X: You call this a challenge? GIVE ME A CHALLENGE!
Pashmina: William, look out!
X raises his foot, trying to step on William, but he rolls out from under X's foot and trips
him. William grabs onto one of X's tentacles and swings him around over his head, then lets go and
X goes flying into a large rock. He gets up, but William is too quick and pokes him in the eyes.
While X rubs his eyes, William kicks him in the stomach, knocking him down.
William: How's that for a challenge?
X: Good, but you forgot something.
William: Wha?
X: I can extend.
X extends his tentacles and wraps them around William's waist, then tightens the tentacles. William
hears a cracking noise and realizes his ribs are starting to crack.
William: Let go...
X: Fine.
X tosses Will into the air and slams him back down again. He hits the ground hard, and Pashmina goes
to check on him.
Pashmina: William! Are you okay?
William: Y-yeah, just fine.
X: Don't interfere!
X punches Pashmina hard across the face, knocking her out. William catches her as she falls.
William: Pashmina!
Dexter and Howdy: No!
X starts to laugh.
William: Shut up!
X: Well then, come and get me.
William turns to Dexter and Howdy.
William: Take her to the clubhouse.
H & D: Right.
They take her to the clubhouse, and William turns to X. X steps back a bit because of the enraged
look on William's face.
William: YOU WANT A CHALLENGE?! I'LL GIVE YOU A CHALLENGE!
William runs at X and tries to punch him, but X dodges and hits him in the stomach hard, knocking him back.
William charges again, but X jumps over him and kicks him in the back, knocking him over. He
skids for a few feet before coming to a stop. He gets up and prepares to charge again, but something
holds him back. He turns around and sees...
Maxwell: Calm down, William.
William: Let go of me!
Maxwell tightens his grip.
Maxwell: CALM DOWN. You can't fight like this. Your anger is clouding your mind.
William: (sigh) You're right. Thanks, Maxwell. Hey, when did you wake up?
Maxwell: Just a few minutes ago. Now, go and beat him!
William: Right!
William gets up and runs toward X, who tries to punch him. William dodges and punches him in
the face, knocking him over. X hits him in the stomach and he gets knocked into a bush.
William: Ouchichi... heke? What's this?
William had landed next to an open box of matches. He took one out and examined it.
William: This should work perfectly.
William walks out of the bush.
X: So, back for more? Very well. DIE!
X extends his arm quickly towards William, who dodges it. The tentacle digs deep into the ground
next to him. As it retracts, he grabs onto it and gets pulled towards X and runs his match across
the gound, lighting it. When he gets close enough he lets go and thrusts the match foward, sticking
it into X's stomach. X looked down and widened his evil eyes in shock.
X: F-fire... NO! THIS CANNOT BE! AHHHHHH!
X explodes, sending goo flying all over the place. The ham hams look away, sheilding their eyes
from the explosion. When they look back, a very burnt Boss is standing where X was.
Boss: You did it...
Boss passes out.
************************************************************* *******************************
It was an hour after X was defeated, and Boss and Bijou were sitting on the hill together, looking
at the sunset.
Boss: Bijou, I have to tell you, I'm really sorry about what happened. I wasn't in control. You
have to believe me...
Bijou: Of course I believe you, Boss. I know you would never do something like that.
Boss and Bijou look into each others eyes and kiss. When they're done, Boss is surprised.
Boss: I'm sorry. I know you like Hamtaro. I don't want to interfere...
Bijou: Oh, Boss. Hamtaro was just a crush. I mean, he's nice and all, but you are the one I truly
love.
Boss and Bijou kiss again.
*********************************************************** *********************************
Stan: Sandy, you have to believe me! The X was controlling me!
Stan and Sandy had woken up, and Stan was trying to explain to Sandy that it wasn't his fault.
Sandy: I don't believe you.
Stan: (sighs) Okay. I'll tell you the truth. I had X make me stronger so I could get revenge.
But the power was too much for me to handle. I went insane... what was I thinking?
Stan turns away from her and starts crying. She sits down next to him and holds him close.
Sandy: Shhhh... it's okay. Stop crying.
Stan: Oh man, I'm so sorry I hurt you. Please forgive me...
Sandy: It's okay. I forgive you.
************************************************************* *******************************
Pashmina: Are you sure that your chest will be alright?
William: Yeah, it's fine.
William and Pashmina sat on a park bench, also looking at the sunset.
William: You know, I was really worried when X knocked you out.
Pashmina: Really?
William: Yeah. At first I thought you were dead. I would rather let X kill me than see you die.
Pashmina: And I would rather die than see you die.
William and Pashmina look at each other and kiss.
William: You should really be getting home. I'm sure your owner is wondering where you are.
Pashmina: I know. I just wish that this moment could never end.
William: Me too. I'll walk you home.
After a few minutes of walking, they showed up at June's house. June was sitting on the front
porch, crying.
Pashmina: Well, here we are.
William: Uh-uh.
Pashmina and William kiss and Pashmina starts running up the path to her house. Halfway there,
she turns and waves.
Pashmina: Seeya tomorrow!
William waves back and she runs up to June, who stops crying and looks down.
June: Pashmina! Where have you been? I was so worried!
June picks up Pashmina and runs back inside, and William turns and walks away. Boss said he could
live at the clubhouse, so he was headed there. As he walks he glances back at June's house.
William: Seeya tomorrow.
THE END
