Chapter 2 - The Captive
Superman had his kryptonite. Cubby had his kibble. As the green ore renders the man of steel powerless, the tasty, crunchy vittles can overwhelemingly distract our canine crusader from all other endeavors.
And so it was that fateful foggy day, when the Balinese buccaneers moored their vessel along the San Clemente pier, in search of a worthy water dog. To complete their crew, they needed such a pet to retrieve their fishing nets and to chase the scurvy vermin rats off their ship.
The land pirates made their way up into the hills, looking through their looking glasses high and low, until they came across the chubby Cubby. With his bovine size giving away his weakness, the pirates left a trail of dog food down to the dock of doom. Fozzie looked on with dismay as Cubby burst out of his playpen to pursue the tempting, tasty trail. Wagging his tail, the Cubster obliviously wound his way onto the frigate. Our hero was quickly enslaved, destined for the hard life of manual doggie labor.
The ship set sail. And it wasn't a three hour tour. After several days out at sea, the sailors ran out of kibble. They had to resort to feeding the dog pirate food. The Arrrrby's was a rare treat, but Cubby emerged from his trance. At dusk, Cubby managed to slip away and hid out in the ship's bird's nest. They never found him there because a)who would think to look for a dog in a bird's nest and 2) there was no trail to follow as Portuguese Water Dogs don't shed. The horsey sauce combined with Cubby's mutated DNA, caused a weird gaseous reaction within his belly.
At th stroke of nightfall, Cubby, with the explosive intestinal chemical build up, his nuclear powered legs, and his aerodynamically designed webbed paws, flew into the sky. He flew and flew. First he hit space. Then he hit outer space. He kept flying towards the Milky Way, or as it is known in the canine world, the Milky Bone. Guided by Sirius, the dog star, seriously, our hero kept flying through the cosmos.
Just as he felt safe that he had escaped the Balinese bad boys, and slightly hungry, a translucent teleporter beam tracked onto our fearless fur ball. Cubby had been abducted by aliens....
