8. Down, and Out
Within moments, the situation was far more relaxed. Sheep 1, Sheep 2, and Sheep 3 stood guarding Humpty, while Sally (now untied), Emit and Dave approached the two Dishwashers and the now unconscious Grisly-vile who was still crushed beneath them.
"Again, let me say how sorry we are for crushing your friend here," the Dishwasher that had spoken before said, "but when the porthole was opened we had just climbed on to it, in order to see what was in this machine, and couldn't help but fall through."
"Don't worry about it," Emit reassured them, "He was actually a prisoner of mine, and would have attempted to take over your dimension if he had managed to escape. You've done yourselves a great favour."
"Oh, is that so?" the Dishwasher said, its lights blinking in fury, "Well, if that was that case, he would have found himself helpless in the face of the might of the Dishwasher Dimension!!! We would have shown no mercy to him, and he would have been cut down in his prime by our most bolt-thirsty warriors!"
"Ew," Sally said, "Are you really that violent in this dimension?"
"Oh yes," the Dishwasher said, "In fact, Cultery-crusher and myself - the fearsome Plate-smasher - are two of the mightiest warriors alive in the dimension at this time!!!"
At this, Cutlery-crusher made some beeping noises.
"Ah, yes, good observation, Cutley-crusher" Plate-smasher commented.
"What did he say?" asked Dave.
"He was merely pointing out that your small, circular, metallic golf-ball-like-without-the-spots companion has entered our dimension alone, and will surely face the wrath of the all-powerful Dishwasher armies of Doom!!!"
"Wow, all that from two beeps?" Dave gasped.
"Well, that's the abbreviated version," Plate-smasher admitted.
"Look, lets not waste time talking about this," Emit said, "We'll put Humpty back in his cell, and then we have to get Renidt before anything else bad happens… where's Humpty?"
This last remark was said to the three Sheep, who were staring blankly back at the Interpol agent.
"Oh, don't worry, he's fine," said Sheep 2.
"Yeah, he just went outside for some fresh air," Sheep 1 explained.
"He said he'd be back after he conquered the dimension or something like that," finished Sheep 3.
"Ok then," Emit sighed, "We had better find Humpty too, before he causes any trouble."
"Hah! Don't worry," Plate-smasher stated, "If he tries anything, he will have the wrath of Dishwashers everywhere to deal with, and no one could survive that!!!"
"Yeah," agreed Dave, "Imagine having to wash all your dishes by hand."
