One Bite

I don't have a proper excuse for this, or why I wrote it. I am 17 years old and I just wrote LazyTown fanfiction, and I continue to keep doing it. I did this with my own two hands and that's something I'll have to live with. I apologize if any of the characters are a bit out of character; this is my first LazyTown fanfiction and I'm still learning their characters.

That's about all the important stuff; it will probably get real gay later on. Have fun, my dudes.

The children of LazyTown rose along with the sun, ready for yet another summer day of play.

"Wake up!" The herd of children scream-sing into an open window, which just so happens to belong to Ziggy. The smallest and youngest member of the group sleepily sits up, as his fingers grasp the red and white striped lollipop that is next to him in bed.

"I'm up, I'm up!" Ziggy calls back as he leaps out of bed and climbs out the window, the other children are overjoyed once he joins them and they all make their way to the soccer field. The noise of the children's rather noisy game of soccer travels deep underground, and promptly wakes the town villain up from a nap that he didn't know he was taking. Robbie sits up, thrashing his gangly limbs around wildly as a loud cheer erupts and fills his lair.

"Can I not get ONE nap in this cursed town?!" Robbie demands to no one in particular, seeing as he's alone, as he sits up and stomps over to his periscope. The herd of gremlins have all gathered in the soccer field and are making a tremendous amount of noise, in other words they are being annoying and preventing Robbie from sleeping.

"Darn them to heck" the villain mutters as a sharp scream suddenly cuts through the air. The scream surprises Robbie, as he yelps and falls over the railing.

"I meant to do that!"

Stephanie was in the middle of scolding Stingy for trying to claim the soccer ball as his own, when a man stumbles out of the forest that seems to surround the town and into their soccer field. They continue to argue and bicker, and don't stop until the strange looking man sinks his teeth into Trixie's arm. Trixie screams as all the arguing stops and the children begin to scream in horror. High above the town, in the skies, in an airship a crystal on a certain hero begins to beep rapidly.

"Someone's in trouble!" The slightly above average hero cries out as he does a backflip towards the door. The door flies open as he charges out, Sportacus wastes no time jumping off the plank of the airship and descending towards the town.

The scream clearly belonged to one of the brats; Robbie after a few moments of thinking decides that it's the annoying trickster one. Tricky is it? The villain quickly makes his way up the stairs and towards the periscope once more, he nearly falls over with fright as a spray of blood hits the eyes of the periscope. Panic begins to set in, deep inside Robbie. While he doesn't like the children, he certainly doesn't want them to get hurt!

"T-this isn't right….Where's Mr. Flippity-Flop?!" Robbie demands as he does a poor impression of the hero's signature move. The children are all screaming still, which makes Robbie how long they can keep screaming until their little lungs give out. Along with the screaming, there is still no sign of Sportacus, which is the strangest thing yet. The hero is usually there at the first sight or sound of trouble, but so far he hasn't shown up. Robbie sighs and pushes the periscope away as he realizes what he must do, if that dang blue kangaroo isn't showing up.

"I am a big softie…"

Trixie is bleeding heavily, yet still trying to fight the attacker off with her fists. The man is absolutely filthy with the remains of green pants and what used to be a blue shirt. His goatee and mustache are full of blood and dirt, and he seems to be missing an eyeball.

"Sportacus, help!" Stephanie screams as she throws the soccer ball at the man, ignoring Stingy's cries about how the soccer ball is his. The ball hits the man on the head, knocking what used to be an orange hat off his head. He turns towards Stephanie and growls, a low animalistic growl as he begins to limp towards her. Stephanie screams.

"Stephanie's in trouble!" Sportacus announces as he hears her scream and his crystal begins beeping even more rapidly. The hero flips over one of the low walls, and almost lands on one of the attackers. The elf has no idea what is happening or who these people are or even why they are here. All he knows is that the children are in trouble, and if he doesn't hurry it might be too late.

The attacker is about to take a chunk out of Pixel, when Robbie Rotten the town villain seems to appear out of thin air. He then proceeds to whack the man upside the head with a rather large mallet that he is somehow able to easily hold and carry.

"Robbie Rotten?!" The children all cry out as they catch a glimpse of the striped man. He sighs, rolling on his eyes as the attacker finally falls.

"That's me. I'm glad that we've finally established who I am. Where's Tchaikovsky?" He demands, purposely not using Trixie's name.

"Her name is Trixie" Stephanie snaps back as the villain begins to look around for her.

"Whatever" Robbie replies dryly, it's as if the girl has disappeared completely. His sense of danger is going off like crazy as he continues to search for Trixie. They are still in danger out here, Robbie knows that they'll only be safe once inside his lair. The kids warily watch Robbie search, but make no attempt to help him look for Trixie.

"Stephanie?!" A familiar, accented voice suddenly calls out as Sportacus leaps over one of the walls as agile and graceful as a cat. The children visibly relax at the sight at the hero, and rush over to him.

"Sportacus?!"

"It was horrible! He-"

"He took Trixie!"

"No he didn't, he bit her!" The children all cry out at once, they sound scared while Sportacus only gets more confused. The elf finally holds up one hand to silence them.

"One at a time" he calmly says and suddenly notices Robbie at the back of the crowd. Robbie?! What in the heck of all hecks is he doing up here, and awake before 3PM?!

"No need to thank me, Sportaflop. I only saved these ungrateful brats from their unholy demise" Robbie says, twirling or at least attempting to twirl the mallet between his hands. Sportacus blinks in confusion, but then smiles.

"You saved them?! Robbie! That's a GOOD thing!" Sportacus exclaims as he stands up, looking so proud. The group of children all huddle around the hero.

"He didn't save us! He smashed that's man's skull, which was mine!" Stingy whines as Robbie shoots him a death glare; the child only returns the death glare. Sportacus automatically assumes that whatever Robbie did to the now deceased man, he must be behind this. He's usually behind at least 97% of the trouble in LazyTown.

"Robbie…What did you do?" Sportacus asks softly and braces himself for the worst. Robbie blushes slightly and drops the mallet, so that he can tightly cross his arms across his chest.

"Me?! I didn't do-" Robbie starts as there is a low moan from behind them. Mayor Meanswell and Bessie Busybody are limping out of the shadows and look to be infected, just like the man.

"Uncle!" Stephanie shrieks as she's scooped up by the muscular arms of Sportacus, before she can get hurt. The hero then picks Ziggy up and holds onto them tightly as he glances worriedly over to Robbie. Pixel and Stingy suddenly cower into Sportacus's waist and are lifted up by the hero also.

"My lair? It's usually safe there" Robbie says, eyeing the first fallen attacker as if he's going to get up and infect them. There's something oddly familiar about this man, and it's making Robbie extremely uncomfortable. The villain carefully pokes at him, until he's been rolled over and he can see his face. If Sportacus wasn't carrying four children, Robbie would have jumped into his arms. The man is the past hero of LazyTown, Robbie never knew his true name only knew him as Nine.

"Robbie?! Your lair?" Sportacus gently reminds him, trying not to let his fear show in his voice. There's yet another low moan, and the two infected adults get a bit closer to them. Robbie nods and picks up his mallet once more.

"Come on. It's this way" he replies, his voice having lost all emotion. The hero nods and begins following Robbie's long strides. He can see on Robbie's face that something about that man disturbed him greatly, but he decides not to go into it. Letting these children and himself into Robbie's home is disturbing the villain enough, and he doesn't want to make it worse.
