It was another lazy day for Berthedin the hedgehog. It was always another lazy day for him. At least since his retirement. He was always reminded of his complacent lifestyle anytime he passed by his sheriff hat.
He awoke from his sleep-deprived stupor at the sudden self-realization. Some things never change. But quickly he headed over to his chair, and flipped on the TV. Just another lazy day.
Knock knock
Someone was at his door. He didn't usually have visitors. Not these days.
"Come in," he croaked slowly, but the door had already burst open. Standing in the frame was none other than Ozzy.
"I already told you Ozzy, I'm not investing anymore into those bitcoins, I've lost enough money," stated Berthedin.
"This isn't about that. We need you."
"I gave up my life as a sheriff. Never again will I take another life, not since the accident" Berthedin shouted, as his voice trailed off.
"Significant Apartments is under siege. You're the only one who can save them." Ozzy stated matter of factly, as he held out Berthedin's sheriff hat towards him. "How about it, partner?"
Berthedin stared at the sheriff hat blankly for a few seconds. He then ripped it out off Ozzy's hands, and let it fall gracefully onto his head. "I knew this day would come." Berthedin and Ozzy then ran out the door, ready for battle.
---------------------------
The siege at Significant Apartments had been going on for a few hours. The Aki members were sitting comfortably behind their siege camp. The Hedgehog Fighting force was tired and battle-weary. A miracle was needed.
A flash of lightning. Suddenly a scream.
Berthedin had rode his trusty stallion right into the middle of the Aki siege camp, and chopped Davis right in two! Berthedin tipped his sheriff hat, let out a might war cry, and chased after the rest of the Aki members, who ran away in panic. The rest of the Hedgehog Fighting force found renewed vigor, and followed after him.
The hedgehogs couldn't keep up with Berthedin's bloodlust, as he wildly flailed his battle axe around. Screams were heard, followed by a trail of bodies. One Aki member was found bleeding, hiding behind a tree. The hedgehogs found mercy on him and knocked him out.
Berthedin returned to his senses hours after the last Aki member had fled the scene. The entire Hedgehog Fighting force held a round of applause for him.
The next day a ceremony was held for Berthedin, in which he was appointed honorary sheriff of Significant Apartments. As he pinned the sheriff's star onto Berthedin's shirt, Willy muttered out a "t-thanks for the help...I would've been there b-but I was really sleepy..."
Berthedin tipped his sheriff hat and rode off into the sunset, his thirst to stop criminals renewed, and more parched than ever.
