SECRET N° 325 The Shell Wars 09

in FreeCompliments7 months ago

Chapitre 9 :

Des Crabes et des Complots(Où la forêt sent venir un cerveau crustacé avec trop de plans et pas assez de bon sens.)

UNE LÉGENDE ÉMERGENTE

Le nom du Crabe Suprême se répandait comme une moisissure sur une vieille souche : rapide, poilue, et légèrement humide.

Les écureuils murmuraient sur des pinces plus tranchantes que l'obsidienne.
Les hiboux hululaient des haïkus cryptiques :

"La griffe fend le calme / Des secrets dans chaque clic / Les racines tremblent."

Même les crapauds portaient des mini-couteaux à noisettes, marmonnant : « On ne sait jamais quand un crabe est derrière vous. »

Castagnor, lui, travaillait nuit et jour à déchiffrer les Parchemins-Coquilles — anciens rouleaux d'écorce scellés dans des coquilles de noix, apparemment laissés par le dernier écureuil ayant rencontré le Crabe Suprême... et ayant survécu (brièvement).

ENTRÉE EN SCÈNE : AGENT CHIFFON, LA TAUPE EN NOEUD PAPILLON

Pendant ce temps, à l’ombre d’un érable creux, surgit quelqu'un : Agent Chiffon, une taupe si suave que sa fourrure brillait toujours (personne ne sait comment), et son nœud papillon changeait de motif selon son humeur.

Il apporta des nouvelles :

— « Le Crabe ne se contente pas de contrôler les routes de la noisette. Il est en train de truquer les prochaines élections du Conseil de la Forêt. Il a des blaireaux, des ratons laveurs, même quelques chouettes grincheuses avec lui. »

Castagnor plissa les yeux :

— « Pourquoi ? »

Chiffon sirota lentement un thé de pissenlit, avec un air dramatique.

— « Pour se déclarer Trésorier de la Forêt. Et accéder à la Grande Réserve de Noisettes. »

Speedo eut un hoquet (aussi dramatique qu'un escargot peut le faire). Belladonna s'évanouit, surtout pour l'effet.
Jean-Rasoir brûla une brindille, par réflexe.

PRÉPARATION À LA GUERRE POLITIQUE

Comprenant qu'ils faisaient face non seulement à une guerre, mais à une fraude électorale, Castagnor convoqua tous ses alliés :

Les Hérissons Centristes (neutres mais prêts à piquer).

La Coalition des Grenouilles Chantantes (principalement pour les jingles de campagne).

Les Termites Révolutionnaires (qui croient en la destruction du système... littéralement).

Les réunions se faisaient en cercles de champignons. La propagande était peinte sur des feuilles. Des mouches (les vraies) étaient envoyées avec des mini-bannières.

Des slogans virent le jour :

"Plus de Jeux de Coquilles ! Votez Noisutral !"

"Rendons à la Forêt son Arbre !"

"Crabe Dehors ! Écureuil Dedans !"

Belladonna organisa un débat.
Chiffon organisa du sabotage.
Jean-Rasoir prépara les feux d'artifice. (Personne ne lui avait demandé.)

UNE ATTAQUE SURPRISE (AVEC DES BULLES)

Mais avant même que la campagne ne commence, le Crabe passa à l’attaque.
À l'aube, des bulles flottèrent au-dessus de la forêt. À l’intérieur ? De minuscules billets :

« La Noisette appartient à tous. Rejoignez-moi ou soyez décoquillés. — CS. »

Suivi de :

POUF ! — Les bulles explosèrent en nuages de paillettes et d’odeur d’anchois.

LA FORÊT PERD LA TÊTE

C'était la panique.

Les pics-verts tambourinaient des alertes.
L’élan tenta de déclarer son indépendance (encore).
Une fouine ouvrit un bunker apocalyptique fait entièrement de beurre de cacahuète.

Castagnor, s'essuyant les poils couverts de paillettes, s'écria :

— « Assez ! On le démasquera. Au Conseil. Devant tous les animaux. En pleine lumière de feuille ! »

Belladonna fit craquer sa nuque.
Speedo chargea lentement les documents de noisettes sur sa coquille.
Jean-Rasoir murmura :

— « Que ça explose... de vérité. »

Chapter 9:

Of Crabs and Conspiracies(In which the forest gets wind of a crustaceous mastermind with too many schemes and not enough sense.)

AN EMERGING LEGEND

The name of the Supreme Crab spread like mold on an old log: fast, hairy, and slightly damp.

Squirrels whispered of pincers sharper than obsidian.
Owls hooted cryptic haikus:

"Claw carves through silence / Secrets in every snap / Tree roots tremble, scared."

Even the toads began carrying tiny nut-knives, muttering: “You never know when a crab’s behind you.”

Castagnor, meanwhile, was working night and day to decode the Shell Scrolls—ancient bark scrolls sealed in walnut husks, apparently left behind by the last squirrel who encountered the Supreme Crab and lived (briefly).

ENTER: AGENT CHIFFON, THE MOLE WITH A BOWTIE

Meanwhile, in the shadows of a giant hollow maple, someone emerged: Agent Chiffon, a mole so suave his fur always glistened (no one knew how) and his bowtie changed patterns with his mood.

He brought news:

— “The Crab doesn’t just control nut routes. He’s rigging the next Forest Council Election. He’s got badgers, raccoons, even a few disgruntled owlets on his side.”

Castagnor narrowed his eyes:

— “Why?”

Chiffon sipped dandelion tea with dramatic slowness.

— “To declare himself Forest Treasurer. With access to the Great Nut Reserve.”

Speedo gasped (as dramatically as a snail can). Belladonna fainted, mostly for effect.
Jean-Rasoir burned a small twig, out of instinct.

PREPARING FOR POLITICAL WAR

Realizing they were dealing not just with war, but with election fraud, Castagnor summoned all allies:

The Centrist Hedgehogs (neutral but ready to poke).

The Coalition of Singing Frogs (mostly for dramatic campaign jingles).

The Revolutionary Termites (who believed in breaking the system—literally).

Meetings were held in mushroom circles. Propaganda was painted on leaves. Flyers (real flying insects) were dispatched carrying miniature banners.

Slogans emerged:

"No More Shell Games! Vote Nutural!"

"Make the Forest Tree Again!"

"Crab Out! Squirrel In!"

Belladonna organized a debate.
Chiffon organized sabotage.
Jean-Rasoir set up the fireworks. (No one asked him to.)

A SURPRISE ATTACK (WITH BUBBLES)

But before the campaign even launched, the Crab made his move.
At dawn, bubbles floated across the forest. Inside? Tiny notes:

"The Nut Belongs To All. Join Me or Be Shelled. — SC."

Followed by:

POOF! — The bubbles exploded into clouds of glitter and anchovy scent.

THE FOREST LOSES ITS MIND

Panic.

Woodpeckers drummed emergency rhythms.
The moose tried to declare independence (again).
A ferret opened a doomsday bunker made entirely of peanut butter.

Castagnor, wiping glitter from his fur, shouted:

— “Enough! We’ll expose him. At the Council. In front of every creature. In broad leaflight!”

Belladonna cracked her neck.
Speedo slowly loaded nut documents onto his shell.
Jean-Rasoir whispered:

— “Let’s make it explode with truth.”
