"Do not taunt The Monkey."

Mendo led the way, leaping over the back partition. Fred punched him, hard, and he sailed end over end, knocking down a gruff looking teen. Then the people were upon them. The covering was quickly torn away and an angry mob assualted the sides.

The two beleagured hero's had one advantage. The others couldn't swing their weapons without hitting their comrades. Not having time for anything else, Astra and Fred lugged an over-armed man into the cart, bounced his head off the floor and stoles his swords.

Back to back they fought for a full ten minutes, repressing wave after wave of angry fanatics. Many fell under their dual blades. Astra roared with glory, having trained to fight like this, but every women Fred killed tore away a piece of his soul. One just did not battle women! Even though they were trying to kill him!
Seven minutes into the fight the wagon collapsed out from under them. The crowd pressed in tighter, angrier, meaner and Fred knew it was only moments before someone got a good angle from an upper ledge.
Three minutes after the collapse, the fight was over. What had happened?

1. The crowd had backed away. Fred and Astra were just too good.
2. Fred had fallen and Astra was captive.
3. Astra had fallen and Fred was captive.
