It Takes Three
By: SnowPuppy
Soon after the woods bit(see my last fanfic, "The Dangerous Journey", 
for 
more information!), the family of three calmed down, after awhile. One 
beautiful night, when the full moon was out, Moonwatcher was sitting on 
the 
couch writing in his Memory Book, Kay-Si was reading a book, and 
Steppenwolf 
was out doing his job, as usual.
Kay-Si glanced over her shoulder at the clock, and noticed it said 
8:30PM. 
Steppenwolf would be coming in in thirty minutes to go to bed.
Moonwatcher stopped writing in his Memory Book and closed it. He 
noticed that 
the clock said 8:30PM, also.
"Mom, I'm going to go to bed now, okay?" Moonwatcher said.
"Okay, hon." Replied Kay-Si.
Moonwatcher then went in his room and put his Memory Book back on his 
desk. 
By the time he was ready for bed, it was already 9:00PM. Moonwatcher 
heard 
his dad come in for bed. And he knew that his mother would be going to 
bed, 
also. 
So he just climbed in bed himself and stared into space for awhile, 
then fell 
fast asleep.
When he awoke it was time for him and Steppenwolf to go on guard duty. 
He 
jumped out of bed and got ready for the day.
He quickly ate his breakfast and rushed outside. 
"Aren't you forgeting something?" Kay-Si shouted back at him.
"Oh yeah!" Said Moonwatcher, running back.
Kay-Si followed him into the kitchen.
"What are you doing?" She asked him.
"Getting my lunch." Moonwatcher replied, taking some ripe oranges from 
the 
orange bowl.
"Yes, but what else are you forgeting, honey?" Kay-Si asked him.
"Oh! How could I forget! Sorry, mom! Goodbye! Love ya!" Said 
Moonwatcher, 
running out the door again.
Kay-Si shook her head at him and shut the open door. Kay-Si sighed and 
continued on through her day.
When Steppenwolf and Moonwatcher came in for a break, Kay-Si put out 
more 
oranges, she knew what was coming.
Moonwatcher grabbed more oranges from the orange bowl.
"Sweetheart, if you keep eating all these oranges your going to turn 
into 
one." Said Kay-Si.
"Oh mom! No I wont!" Said Moonwatcher.
Kay-Si sighed and went into her and her husband's room. She sighed, 
collapsing on the bed and looking up at the ceiling. Then she saw 
something 
appear before her, and she moved back in shock. It was an angel!
"It's okay, Kay-Si. I'm here to help you." Said the angel.
"Help me? On.. what?" Kay-Si asked.
"Your family is in great danger, Kay-Si. They have come, and they 
aren't 
going to stop until they get what they want. This is the battle for 
life, 
Kay-Si. It's coming. You must be prepared." Said the angel.
"What? What's coming?" Kay-Si asked.
"They are coming.. to attack your family. Be brave, Kay-Si. You can get 
through this, I know you can." Said the angel.
"But... what? Whats happening?" Kay-Si asked with most fear.
"All I can tell you is that you must be prepared for battle. There is a 
terrible threat to the island. Be brave, Kay-Si, be brave..." Said the 
angel, 
then she disappeared as quickly as she came.
What that angel told her had shocked her. Should she tell her family 
about 
what the angel had said? If a threat was coming to the island, they had 
every 
right to know. Kay-Si then decided that when they came in for their 
next 
break, she would tell them the shocking news.
But before they came in, Kay-Si had a terrifying vision, she never in 
her 
life had had a vision before, and this was her first time... but it was 
a 
very horrible first vision.
In her vision she was watching people with guns kill her family before 
her 
very eyes. Then she saw a bullet come at her. And that was the end of 
her 
vision. It scared her, it scared her deeply.
She didn't know what was happening. She fell on the floor and started 
to cry 
silently. She heard the angel's voice:
This is what will happen if you and your family aren't prepared, 
Kay-Si. You 
will all be killed if your not! Tell your family, so you CAN be 
prepared. If 
you dont, all will be lost, Kay-Si. And they will take over the island. 
Be 
brave, Kay-Si. You must be brave.
Kay-Si then decided that the only thing she could do was tell her 
family. 
They would all have to be brave together. She didn't want them all to 
die. 
Then she heard the door. The time has come for her to tell them the 
shocking 
news.
"Whats wrong?" Asked Steppenwolf, noticing the tears in his wife's 
eyes.
She then told both Steppenwolf and Moonwatcher the whole story. They 
all 
three knew that the angel was right, and they had to be prepared if 
something 
terrible like that was coming. Day after day went by, and they were 
prepared 
for anything. But so far, nothing has happened. But they all knew that 
they 
couldn't go off guard, because that might just be what the enemy was 
waiting 
for them to do.
One day, at breakfast, a bullet shot through the window. Luckily, the 
bullet 
missed and no one was hurt. Kay-Si shivered in fright. It has come;the 
terrible thing that the angel told her about has come. It was here. She 
just 
didn't know if she was brave enough to face this enemy just yet. But 
she knew 
she had to. She didn't want her vision that she had had to become 
reality.
Then she went out, and faced their enemy for the first time. It was 
Henrie(read the fanfic "Life Isn't Always Easy" for more information on 
Henrie!) and a few other guys. They were all holding guns and pointing 
them 
at Kay-Si, Steppenwolf, and Moonwatcher. When they pulled the trigger 
they 
found out that their guns weren't working. 
"What did you do to our guns?!? Oh, no matter! Bring out the rest of 
the 
crew!" Henrie shouted over his shoulder.
His friends nodded and called other people there. There was about 
twenty 
people there, all surrounding Kay-Si, Steppenwolf, and Moonwatcher.
"You three are going to pay for what you did! We're going to kill you 
three, 
then the island will be free for us to take over. We will have no mercy 
on 
you three! Never! Okay, men, get ready to fire!" Said Henrie evilly.
"Dont! Dont do it!" Kay-Si shouted out.
"Why wouldn't we?" Asked Henrie.
"Because it's not right! We haven't done anything to you! You shouldn't 
kill 
for fun! It's not right! Dont do it!" Said Kay-Si.
"Yeah right, lady! You've done something to me. Well, atleast your 
husband 
has. He did something with my father! And now your all going to pay! It 
doesn't matter if you or your son didn't do anything to me, you are 
still on 
the guardian's side, and we must take out all who are!" Said Henrie.
"Your crazy, Henrie!" Said Kay-Si upsettingly.
"Crazy? I think not, lady!" Said Henrie, pointing the gun to Kay-Si's 
chest.
Kay-Si swallowed hard with fear. Then she remembered what the angel had 
said. 
She had to be brave.
"I'm not afraid of you!" She said.
"Well you should be afraid! How would you like to be the first one to 
die?" 
Said Henrie, smirking.
"Hey, you leave my mother alone!" Moonwatcher shouted at Henrie.
"Tough talk coming from the squirt, eh?" Said Henrie.
"You leave both my wife and son alone!" Said Steppenwolf, finally 
saying 
something.
"Why should we? Oh, before you can attack us, why dont you take a nap?" 
Said 
Henrie, hitting the gun against Steppenwolf's head.
He fell on the ground. Kay-Si and Moonwatcher both gasped.
"You cant do that to my father!" Said Moonwatcher angrily.
"I already did, pipsqueek. Pretty soon you two will be on the ground as 
well." Said Henrie delightfully.
"You wont get away with this! I wont let you!" Said Kay-Si.
"Can it, lady!" Said Henrie.
Kay-Si didn't know she did, but she had slapped Henrie right accross 
the face.
"Your going to pay for that!" Said Henrie.
What Henrie and his men didn't notice was that Steppenwolf had opened 
his 
eyes. He had recovered from the rough fall he had taken. 
Kay-Si quickly noticed this. And not long after, Moonwatcher caught on 
and 
noticed that his dad was alright.
"Maybe you should watch your back instead of bragging about how tough 
you 
are." Said Kay-Si with a smile.
"Very funny, lady. And what are you smiling about? There's nothing to 
smile 
about when your about to be dead." Said Henrie.
"Thats what you think." Said Kay-Si.
"If you think a female and her young inexperienced son is tougher than 
us, 
you got another thing coming." Said Henrie.
"Why dont you think again. I mean, there are three of us, not two of 
us." 
Said Kay-Si, giving Henrie a little hint.
"YOU better think again, female. Your husband is down and out, or 
haven't you 
noticed? Are you trying to trick me into running off, is that it? Well 
if you 
are, it's certainly not working!" Said Henrie.
Kay-Si then noticed that there was a small pool of green light laying 
in 
Steppenwolf's hands. She wasn't quite sure what he was about to do, but 
if it 
would help get rid of Henrie and the rest of his crew, she hoped that 
it 
worked.
Steppenwolf then looked at her and whispered something. She watched the 
movement of his lips and figured out what he was saying. He was telling 
her 
to shut her eyes tightly and keep them shut until he said that she 
could open 
them. Kay-Si told Moonwatcher to do the same, and they both closed 
their 
eyes. Kay-Si knew something was happening, but Steppenwolf had told her 
to 
keep her eyes shut, so she kept them shut. Then she heard Steppenwolf's 
voice, finally.
She then opened her eyes and there was no sign of Henrie or the other 
"overlander" guys.
"What happened?" She asked.
"Well, the reason why I told you to close your eyes was because what I 
did 
burnt their eyes, and once it burned their eyes it started to burn 
their 
whole body. They agreed to leave and never return. If you hadn't closed 
your 
eyes, it would've burned you, too." Replied Steppenwolf.
"Oh." Said Kay-Si.
"But I couldn't have done it without you two." Said Steppenwolf.
"Why? What'd we do?" Asked Kay-Si.
"You and Moonwatcher both distracted Henrie so he wouldn't notice me. 
Without 
you two at my side, I dont think I could've saved the island. But I 
did, 
because of the wonderful family I have." Said Steppenwolf.
"Hey, yeah! And, guess what a good description for today is!" Said 
Moonwatcher.
"What?" His parents asked him.
"Well, instead of It Takes Two, it's it takes three!" Said Moonwatcher 
happily.
"Yeah, your certainly right, Moonwatcher!" Said Kay-Si.
They then walked back home to relax. It had been a long day and they 
all 
needed some rest.
"Mom, do you think I should add what happened today in my Memory Book?" 
Asked 
Moonwatcher when they got home.
"Well, if you want, but I thought it was suppose to be all about the 
memories 
you and Tray-Si shared." Said Kay-Si.
"It was, but we didn't share a whole lotta memories. After all, she 
only 
stayed with us for about six months. I think I should change the name." 
Said 
Moonwatcher.
"To what?" Kay-Si asked.
"To... "The Memories Me and My Family Share"!" Said Moonwatcher.
"I dont know, Moonwatcher. Dont you think that is a little long?" Said 
Kay-Si.
"Okay.. how about "Family Memories"?" Asked Moonwatcher.
"Okay, now thats better." Said Kay-Si.
They both laughed and Moonwatcher changed the title of his once "Memory 
Book". He then added a brief description of what had happened today;he 
didn't 
really want to remember all that happened today, so he just put in the 
part 
about his dad taking out Henrie.
Kay-Si laughed when she read Moonwatcher's new entry in the "Family 
Memories" 
book and hugged her son tightly.
"That's a really cute description of today! It's exactly what 
happened!" Said 
Kay-Si with a smile.
This is what Moonwatcher wrote:
Today meany Henrie was going to attack us, but he had another thing 
coming! 
My dad made him sorry! I dont think he'll ever be disturbing us again! 
My dad 
is like Superman, except instead he's Superechidna! 
Until next time,
Moonwatcher
Steppenwolf also read Moonwatcher's little description and bursted up 
laughing like Kay-Si had.
"I'm really Superechidna?!" He said.
"Yes you are!" Said Moonwatcher happily.
"It's true, he is." Said Kay-Si.
After that, they were just fine, and safe, for the time being.
