The Adventures of Mickey Matson and the Copperhead Treasure Page #5

just about anywhere in town.

Uh, Mickey?

Short fatty

and the muscle are here.

The sapphire of Sudan.

Don't hit me.

Let's get the sapphire

and get out of here.

Come on.

We have to make it down

to the upper runway.

UhOh.

How do you do, kiddies?

We got to go, sully.

It's rusted.

Gotcha, little piggy.

Back off, copperhead!

UhOh.

Nice swing, slugger.

You should play for the tigers.

Dude, Chicago.

One more pull.

Now y'all gone and done

ruffle my tail feathers!

Let's go, sully.

Billy?

Dead end.

Now what?

Strong knot.

It won't slip.

I don't know if I've properly

introduced you to...

My Arkansas toothpick.

You ready?

Let's do it.

Ah!

Ahh!

Come on, muscle brain.

I'm not afraid of you.

Sully, no!

Let me go, you lunk-Head.

Let her go!

Well, give him the sapphire,

and he will!

Which one?

Okay.

Let her go,

and I'll give you the sapphire.

Sapphire first.

Go! Go, go, go!

YeeHaw!

Kids.

I got it, Billy.

I got the sapphire, Billy.

I got the sapphire!

What is that?

Uh...

it looks like salami,

Black forest ham,

and Swiss cheese.

Yep.

Give me that.

We gonna turn your heads!

You hear me?

No one messes

with us copperheads

And lives to tell the tale!

You hear me?

How many times have I

looked out at that lighthouse?

I never would've thought.

Now that's good coffee.

Whoa, young lady.

Thank you.

You didn't

have to go after him alone.

You could've waited for me.

You were saving the sapphire.

Yeah, which they almost got,

thanks to you.

What?

Why did you go after him?

What are you trying to prove?

I've been trying to help you.

Yeah, well, you don't...

Well, who put you in charge?

That's not helping one bit.

The last thing we need

is for the two of you

To go acting like

a couple of bull calves.

We've got to stick together.

This is exactly

what priggish would want,

Our team

ripping each other apart.

I'm sorry, sully.

It's just that...

My grandpa

trusted me with this.

And no one ever thought

I could even tie my own shoes.

I can't mess this up.

I would've given them

the sapphire to save you.

You don't have anything

to prove.

But I do.

I need your help.

I'm sorry, Mickey.

I could've messed up

the mission.

So did you find

the antikythera device

At the museum?

No, and I turned that place

inside out.

Well,

we have two of the elements,

The Petoskey stone

and the sapphire.

Maybe we could trade them

to try and get stumpwater free.

No, no,

Ivan wouldn't want us

To run the risk of priggish

getting ahold of the elements

Just to save

his ornery old hide.

But let's go save

that old geezer anyway.

Save stinky pants.

But we're gonna need

some help.

It's time to assemble the order.

Have yourself

a fine evening.

You were fooled

by two children?

You are supposed to be the

iron fist of our brotherhood.

Don't fail me again.

We won't, general.

The alchemy machine

is complete.

Let's take Mr. Stumpwater

over to the ironworks building

As we prepare for

the resurrection of the south.

He can be

our first test subject.

But we don't have

all the elements.

Oh, don't worry.

I've made my own arrangements.

The elements will come to us.

That is way cool.

It's been around...

Since the civil war.

My signal flag,

Handed down to me from members

of the original order.

When the other members see it,

They'll know

where to meet us.

Grams, no one will know.

Ha! Come on.

We are not completely

in the stone age, silly girl.

Grams, are you sure

they know where to come?

Yeah,

it's getting really late.

I'm sure.

It's just that...

Well...

There may not be

many of us left.

We were all a lot younger

when we had our last meeting,

And a lot of us have passed on.

Buckshot.

Haven't seen one of them flags

in nearly 50 years.

Mr. Plindenberg,

I know

that you've already met Mickey

And my granddaughter, sully.

Knew she was your kin

right off.

Found your way

back to civilization?

Don't give me any guff,

girl.

You're gonna need my help,

Since I'm the only one

Who showed up

at your little party here.

He's right, sully girl.

And we got us

some serious problems.

Seems old priggish

and his boys

Have located

a copy of the blueprints

For the alchemy machine.

Got 'er built

down at the old iron factory.

They've built the machine?

Yep.

And if I know priggish,

He's gonna do away with Ivan if

we don't deliver the elements.

Okay, so, like, what plan

do you guys have in place?

For, like,

when the copperheads show up

Looking for the elements?

Um...

Seriously?

Your sole purpose

Was to protect the elements

from the bad guys.

You guys don't have

an emergency plan?

Well, look, the elements

were hidden so well that...

We never thought

that this day would ever come.

That's not true.

One of us knew

this day would come.

Your granddaddy.

And, uh,

looks like he prepared you

A little better

than I first thought.

You and your friend here

Are the new order.

You and jack brought us

some new recruits.

So what does that mean?

That means that you two

need to take a knee.

This sword belonged

to president Abraham Lincoln.

As acting president of

the secret order of the patriot,

I, Anna e. Fowler-Bradford...

your grandma was a fowler?

Do initiate

these brave young souls

Into the secret order

of the patriot.

Repeat after me,

But only if you truly believe

in your hearts

The words that I speak.

I solemnly swear

my allegiance

To the united states

of America...

solemnly swear

my allegiance

To the united states

of America...

To protect its citizens

and the constitution

In the brightest of days

And through

the darkest of nights.

To protect its citizens

and the constitution

In the brightest of days

And through

the darkest of nights.

I shall defend our nation

against all enemies,

So help me god.

And I shall defend

our nation against all enemies,

So help me god.

Arise, brave knights,

And prepare to defend

your country.

Thank you, grams.

We've got some planning to do.

You should be honored,

Ivan.

You're the first thing

since ancient times

To have your molecular structure

rearranged

Into pure silver.

Damn, rotten copperheads.

You almost smell nice.

Take a bath?

Sure did.

Once a year

whether I need it or not.

Good timing for us.

Ah.

Buckshot,

you sure they have him in there?

Yeah.

Priggish just took possession

of this place.

Another one of his foreclosures.

Been doing some recon

since the kids came by.

Any idea

how we're gonna get in there?

Well...

Might as well just knock

on the front door.

- What?

- What?

I kind of like that.

You got some gumption, boy.

Ha!

First mission

for the new order.

Strap up.

Here we go.

It's no use, Mr. Stumpwater.

We good old boys

know how to tie a good old knot.

Whoa.

Bigger than I expected.

Why, I do declare,

That was a very impressive

entrance.

And you dented up

your pretty little truck.

We've come

for Mr. Stumpwater.

We have two of the elements,
