House down the street, part 4

Later
He wakes, no sounds, the house empty, dark, he runs back to his house, the children are there safe.
He e mails Nick
‘Children safe, abductors have escaped.’
Nick to Kier. Ok I will see if I can find them
I drift into unconsciousness, travel astral plains, back to green, blue sea’s I hear voices, see a large boat.
‘Vi kanne starte atter , en annen huset et eller annet sted , flere barn , ja vi kanne starte atter‘.
or
‘We can start again, another house somewhere, more children, yes we can start again’.
And as they speak I sharpen my focus, a large boat, I drift back, into my room, e mail
Nick to Kier. Abductors on large boat at the docks, preparing new lives with more children.
Captain Meatboy again leaps into the air and fly’s, searching the docks, one large boat, he lands on the deck and walks along, listening, as he creeps he hears the voices of the abductors, then silence, a blow to the back of his head and a push and suddenly Captain Meatboy falls into the cold icy sea, splash and as he falls into the icy water deeper and deeper, he thinks,
‘denne er utgangen , når Jeg var gitt meg spesiell talenter av flyreise og styrke inne Paris av det Praktfull Amerikaneren Wizard Geralisimo Kjøtt han glemte å gir meg makten å svømme og her over JEG er inne icy vann , ubevisst faller , dypere og dypere’
or
‘this is the end, when I was given my special powers of flight and strength in Paris by the Grand American Wizard Geralisimo Meatboy he forgot to give me the power to swim and here I am in icy waters, unconscious falling, deeper and deeper’
and as he falls further the five children he had left in his room stop dancing and hold hands and turn round and round, faster and faster until they are a blurred circle and from that blurred centre fly’s the children’s spirit, a great white apparition formed from their spirit of life and love and the apparition fly’s from Kier’s window, racing over roads to the docks, plunges into the water, deeper, deeper where it find’s Captain Meatboy, the apparition lifts him, bringing him to the surface. He gasps for air, barely conscious.
‘use su especial poder Capitano Albóndiga’ the children shout, use su especial poder Capital Albóndiga el niños gritar ‘use ella ahora , uso el poder el General dió you’
or
‘use your special power Capitan Meatboy’ the children shout, ‘use it now, use the power the General gave you’
and on hearing that he reaches into his pocket and pulls some paper and a pen and draws the two abductors and a cage, with bars strong and tight and as he draws, a cage emerges from nowhere around the abductors imprisoning them forever.
‘Capitán Albóndiga usted ahorrar Estados Unidos de América de nuevo el niños chillar’.
or
‘Captain Meatboy you saved us again the children squeal‘,
‘No say’s Captain Meatboy we saved each other
And they all hold hands and dance together, singing as loudly as they can.
