Un Lun Dun (2007)
“Dark flapping shapes suddenly raced through the air around the bridge.
“Cut the hoses!” a voice came from below. “And let me in!”
“It’s Brokkenbroll!” said Lectern. “What do we do?”
“Uh…” Mortar said. He stared at the supine Zanna, and at the approaching stink-junkies.
“Let me in,” Brokkenbroll called.
“I…I’ll connect the bridge near him,” Mortar said. He clenched his jaw, and concentrated.
A tall, spindly man in a dark suit came running up the Pons, his trench coat billowing around him. The Unbrellissimo. Flying around him with little squirts of air, opening and closing like squid-bat hybrids in a hundred colors, were broken umbrellas, doing his bidding.
Some were bent, some were ripped, some had no handles, but all moved fast and aggressive. They swirled around the stink-junkies. They were like fighting crows, poking at goggles with their jags, hooking breathing-tubes and flamethrowers with curved handles.
One big, tenacious unbrella with bent spokes yanked the pipe from Zanna’s att...acker’s hood.MoreLess
