Nube was a pacifist, however he did enjoy physics, particularly the kind that always seemed to result in the creation of deadly weapons. It wasn't strictly all his fault as he was, after all, friends with Wells, and everyone knows that goats are all inclined towards pyromania. This changes a gingerbread man, and soon he can't decipher where his curiosity ends and Wells' destructive tendencies began.
Let me just set the scene:
It was a cool summer day with not a cloud in a sky. No one would expect the fateful events that were about to unfold.
The cutlery kids, Plop and Flop, were beating their pet tyrannosaurus rex, Glop, in their front garden, as per usual on a blissful Thursday morning. Jack and Jill were fetching yet another pale of water, with their ever lengthening arms, and humming their new number one hit on the Eppendorf Hate Music Channel
( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3JFwd1bk4Q&ob=av2n ) and the irritating cannibal of the west was chomping on his morning bone....er.
On the other side of the pond, which had only appeared four days in the future, 'The Wise Fish' Phil and George were aiding Nube in answering a burning question he had been asking himself for the past few days; I wonder what would happen if fission and fusion and jelly fish were combined?
'Weeeeeeell,' bubbled George, 'the only advise I can give you in all my wisdom and glory, is that you combine them yourself and see'
So, the construction of a jellyfish bomb commenced in Nubes back garden and testing all set and ready the following day (Nube was a very efficient and fast worker, always dedicated to his projects, but very infrequently praised or recognised for his efforts).
Now, far off in her smelly lair U. Epp had got wind of the news about the building of this powerful weapon and immediately felt threatened, jealous and defensive. She must punish this asset to the land at once and quickly assert her authority before he could surpass her and own the kingdom! So, on testing day itself none-the-less, dragon Epp flew straight into the very spot in which Nube had picked out to target his first test. Luckily Nube saw Epp's approach and held off the first deadly trial...however, in his fever of intellectual project, he had failed to inform Wells of any of the goings on....
Wells, blissfully unaware of all that was going on around him, began to feel peckish and so begun the long journey to the nearest town shop to buy meringue pie and spaghetti meat balls...again.
But what was this strange wire wrapped around his hooves? and why was he suddenly lurching forward? Could it be that Wells, in a haze of ignorance, tripped over the trigger wire, had 'accidently' knocked the detonator (attached the end of the wire) onto the floor, which in turn pushed in the lever and propelled the nuke from it's launch pad high into the sky in a trajectory towards the bomb testing ground by the wood of hidden hippos? Wells had not heard/listened to the screams of Nube who was safe in his baked bean bomb shelter ....................
VOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM, .......
A mushroom of jellyfish....
blood....
wings......
gurgling cries......
tentacles......
broken, dirty scales....
burning dragon clogs....
the final moments of Dragon Eppendorf.....or at least as a whole.....
It was rumoured years later that Wells may not have been as ignorant to the situation as was first apparent ...
