Description
Axl entered the plane where he found Dr. Gimbles and Lucinda speaking with two burly bulldog pilots. One was handsomely dressed in a traditional pilot’s jacket with a red scarf. The copilot was also dressed in a pilot’s jacket but had the appearance of a tired, grumpy personality.
“There you are, Axl!” said Dr. Gimbles impatiently. “I was just getting ready to see what happened to you.”
“Just saying goodbye to my buds,” replied Axl, while sending a wink to Lucinda.
“I see,” mused Dr. Gimbles, once again stroking his beard. He then motioned with his head toward the two pilots. “Axl, I’d like to introduce you to your pilot, Captain Biff."
“A pleasure to meet you,” greeted Captain Biff with a deep booming voice. He grinned pleasantly at Axl while extending his hand. Axl reached out his hand to accept the handshake when, Captain Biff unexpectedly grasped it squeezing painfully tight, unwilling to release it for several seconds. Axl was relieved when he finally released the crushing grasp on his hand. While holding his near numb hand, Axl stared at Biff for a moment suspiciously. Dr. Gimbles then motioned towards the short stocky bulldog standing next to Biff.
“And this is your captain’s copilot, Archer." Archer boringly nodded his head while rudely releasing a loud burp into his cuffed right hand. With a smile of optimism, Dr. Gimbles quickly patted both Axl and Lucinda on the side. “Well, then! I suppose this is where I relinquish the responsibility of this mission to all of you. Lucinda has a map to help you navigate the island. May you and Lucinda prove to be victorious!”
“We won’t disappoint you, sir,” answered Lucinda confidently. With a nod, Dr. Gimbles began exiting the plane.
“We’re going to prepare for liftoff, so you two better take your seats now,” ordered Captain Biff, before disappearing behind the curtain, separating them from the cockpit. Axl and Lucinda immediately sat in the worn leather seats at the center of the plane and buckled their safety belts.
