In their new headquarters, Bean Boy and Poo Cake Woman could be found in the same positions they had been in previously, Bean Boy sitting on the bed being lazy and Poo Cake Woman busily organising files on her computer.

Bean Boy was distracted from his sleepy state of lazyness by Poo Cake Woman ssshing Boris, who was Poo Cake Woman’s temporary device for staying up to date with what could or could not be happening.

As they had only recently acquired these new premises for their headquarters the walls were bare and they did not have use of their usual equipment yet. Whilst there was nothing wrong with their old base, the move was necessary as they had taken on a few new beings that would help them in their jobs and there simply hadn’t been enough space.

Once completed, it would be a lot easier for the team to have easy access to all of their usual facilities. Bean Boy jumped as his mobile phone went off with a message from their most recent addition to their squad.

As Poo Cake Woman was still busy on her computer, Bean Boy didn’t bother interrupting her as he ambled out of the door before making his way downstairs.

He walked into the room and said “Hey Hoppy”. Several seconds later, Bean Boy found himself having to dodge the many items that were being thrown in his direction, followed by “Shut up and look at this”.

10 minutes later Bean Boy yelled “You might want to stop dancing now” over the sound of Poo Cake Woman’s music. She turned round to face Bean Boy and, after seeing his expression, quickly crossed the room and stopped the music. Without giving her a chance to ask what was wrong, Bean Boy determinedly said “It’s The Ball, we need to go, right now”. Poo Cake Woman turned her computer off instantly and said “I’m ready” before Bean Boy had even passed through the yet to be filled door frame.

As there were only 8 seats in their new vehicle, Lame Name Eric volunteered to stay behind and keep them informed about what was happening.

As they were speeding along in MM’s car, Poo Cake Woman turned towards Hopigan and asked “So whats going on? And what are we doing about it?”. This caught the attention of all the others and all but MM swivelled their chairs round as Hopigan began to explain.

“As you all know, The Ball was trying to secretly try and gather information about our longest living enemy. However earlier I received a partly garbled message from The Ball himself, I think, saying that he may have been found out”.

Approaching a split in the road, MM asked “Do you have any suggestions as to where our melon sized friend is?”.

A short distance away, in The Forest of Moles, a group of about 20 small ears were scattered around a distinctly larger ear. A voice as if from nowhere suddenly filled the area they were in. “Did it work?”. A much quieter, squeakier voice replied with “They are on their way right now, in what looks like just a normal car”.

Having gone as far as possible by car, Bean Boy, Poo Cake Woman, Lonely Bear, The Bored Guy, Fred and Hopigan left MM’s car and made their way forward by walking, or in Hopigan’s case, hopping.

They continued on for what must have been a mile at least, and suddenly they were all caught up in a giant net. Dangling in their netty prison, as several small ears and a giant ear gathered on the ground beneath them, the unusual heroes all started shouting in surprise and annoyance. Poo Cake Woman could even be heard saying “Oh poo cakes!”

Hearing the loud protests from the group, and thinking that it couldn’t be a good thing, MM immediately started looking for a way to get closer to see what was happening.

The mysterious voice once again filled the area. “Not so tough now are you? Now that you’re all stuck up there, with no one to save you”.

Another, more familiar voice, now filled the area. “So, you think I’m just going to let you get away with killing my friends?”. The big ear turned to one of the smaller ears and, whilst pointing up at the net, angrily asked “I thought you said that was all of them!?”. His small counterpart replied “But that’s just a human person, he cant do anything”.

The one in charge turned once again, this time to face MM. “You cant stop us, puny human, we are much more powerful than you could imagine”.

From the inside of his car, MM laughed to himself at this comment and then said “That is a good point I suppose, I better be off then, but before I go, I just have to do one thing”. 10 seconds later, the deafening sound of music was coming from the enormous speakers that were in the back of his car. Straight away all of the ears had started screeching and some of them even fainting, but MM turned over towards the volume control and turned it up as loud as it would go. The resulting racket was too much for the ears and they all collapsed onto the floor and that was the end of them.

The best thing about all of the ears dying, was that The Ball was now freed from his waxy confinement. The entire team cheered as he reappeared, and he assisted MM in letting them down from their trap.

On their way back, they all asked MM how he had known that all of the ears would die if loud music was blared out at them and he said that he just had a hunch that, as they were giant ears, they would have a heightened sense of hearing and this could be used to kill them if there was some loud noise around them.

All that was left to do now was to concentrate on getting their new headquarters up to date, as there were bound to be many more enemies for them to dispose of.
