Here we go some more. Yawn
Part Thirteen
We’re with Pump and Iggy up in a tree. Iggy wants to know what’s going on. Apparently the Eraserheads are there, having set up camp where the helicopter used to be. Pump doesn’t want to go back with them. He’s afraid, still having nightmares of being stuck in cages and tested on. More than reasonable.
Okay, so the School is evil, they do keep the kids in cages. Clearly cramped cages, so it makes you wonder how they were able to fly when they fled.
But that’s details.
They watch as a humvee drives down the road and gets blown up by one of the bombs they set up. The Eraserheads weren’t badly injured as they’re able to get out of the car. And instead just look mad. Pump has a bit of a crisis of conscious as he’s not sure he should feel bad if they got hurt or died. He rationalizes that it’s okay because they took his sister, at least if they got hurt a little after all they’re took her.
This is interesting. Pump is having a moral conflict. It’s quickly resolved, much like Eragon’s are, but it’s still there. Which is nice. I don’t know if anyone else is. Admittedly they’re all focused on the idea of these people tortured us, so I can see it. But even when Max saw Ari she never seem to have any sort of second thoughts about the Eraserheads being evil.
Phase one being done, which apparently just consisted of the one oil bomb thing, they have to figure out what phase two should be.
They haven’t come up with Phase two yet.
Great planners they are. Yup Yup.
The planning of phase two involves going to ‘the old cabin’ for a minute. I have no idea why. Why only a minute? What’s the point of going there? I could see it if they’re going there to avoid being at the house, but just to go there for a minute? I dun get it.
Pump is cool with this saying that they’ve done enough good for one day.
I thought they weren’t trying to do good so much as trying to prevent themselves from getting captured and tortured by evil scientists. These Eraserheads have been compared to bloodhounds and evil wolves that never give up hunting their prey until they catch it.
Iggy and Pump didn’t even substantially hurt these people and they’re calling it a day? I’m sure the eraserheads aren’t going to be calling it a day.
So, they go to the cabin. They know that eighty years ago loggers used this cabin as a base camp and that it’s been abandoned for thirty years. Why do we need to know this? I don’t know. The cabin is in disrepair. Great. Tell me that. Telling me that the cabin used to be used for logging eighty years ago doesn’t tell me anything. Nor does telling me that it was abandoned for thirty years. They’re very nice and exact dates. Round numbers. I like round numbers. They’re nice and round. However they don’t help me picture anything about the cabin. Nor does calling it a dump.
Honestly I just see Iggy and Pump in a white space. Just floating heads really. Floating and talking heads. Probably with wings coming out of their ears for all the description I get.
They’re in the cabin and Iggy is fondling the bomb when they hear a scratching at the door. OH NOES it’s the Eraserheads! They’ve found them! And they’re going to have to fight!
It’s a blind kid and an eight year old against huge muscly guys with wolf genes. I wonder who is going to win!
