cornflakes are good

Part Eleven

Warning: This part mentions violence and death and there is also some swear words.

Senpie watched in horror as Zenpi jabbed the knife into DUCK's back, slowly killing him.

"No. . .," he cried. "DUCK!" He fell to his knees and cried over DUCK's body.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!" Zenpi cackled. "He will die sooner or later, Senpie. You were no match for me."

He laughed some more and circled Senpie ominously. It's pathetic if you think about it. . . I was able to kill you, the true real Senpie. I even got ahold of your lover. And now when you finally come back from the dead, he is dying." He stopped next to Senpie and kneeled down next to him. "Oh Senpie, poor Senpie. . . You're too late."

"HIYA!" Child yelled. She leapt out of the octopuses' grasps and flew above Zenpi's head with a soggy towel in her hand. She smacked Zenpi senseless with the towel.

"FRICK!" Zenpi yelled, then toppled over and died.

The other two children floated over next to Child. The octopuses that had snatched them now lay unconscious, most likely from an attack by Child and the soggy towel.

"C-Children," Senpie croaked, "my DUCK is dying. . . Please! Is there something you can do for him?"

Child nodded. "I know just the thing to help him out." She took out two potions labeled "Healing Potion" and "Red Water Restoration Potion." She opened DUCK's mouth and tossed the two potions in it.

Only a few minutes passed, but they felt like hours. Senpie looked at DUCK, watching as his wound closed and he slowly breathed. Then, DUCK woke up. It was a miracle.

"DUCK! My true love!" Senpie cried. He hugged DUCK tightly.

"Senpie! The real Senpie!" DUCK said happily and hugged Senpie back.

"Alright, this is yucky," Emily said. "Peace out homies." She transformed into a ninja and flew away.

The children, Sophia, Karen, and Rat shrugged. They also disappeared, leaving the two lovers peacefully reunite.

Just then Spookman walked by. "My love!" he said. He ran over to DUCK and pushed Senpie aside to hug him.

Senpie scowled. "Who are you?"

DUCK made a show of pretending not to know who Spookman was. "Ew, get off of me, ugly skeleton," he said, pushing Spookman away.

"W-What. . .," Spookman stammered. "Bby. . ." He shed a single tear from his eye socket.

"Get lost, simp," Senpie said. "DUCK is mine."

Spookman started wailing and crying uncontrollably. He couldn't believe that DUCK didn't remember their memories together and their love for each other. Then, DUCK leaned in toward Spookman and whispered to him, "It's an act. I still love you, Spookman."

Senpie gasped. "I can still hear you, BITCH!" he yelled. "I came back from the dead for you! How dare you!"

"No! Wait! Senpie! Zenpi was mean, and I lost feelings for him and dated Spookman. . . But now you're back! And I love you! But I still love Spookman!" DUCK stammered. "Please, don't leave me, Senpie!"

"No," Senpie said, wiping his tears away. He clenched his fists and looked at the ground, refusing to look at DUCK any longer. "I'm sorry, DUCK. We can't go on like this anymore. I refuse." Without looking at either of them, Senpie turned around and ran far, far away.

DUCK inhaled deeply and called out to Senpie, "I will always love you!" But Senpie was too far away to hear DUCK. . .

[Meanwhile at Baka Bell]

"Man, that was quite the wedding, wasn't it?" Other Child said as she ate her French fries.

"Very. . . Eventful," said Child.

"If only I could get a taste of that red water coming from DUCK," Another Child muttered. "That would've been a great wedding."

". . . Ew," Sophia said.

"At least Senpie and DUCK reunited," Child said, shrugging.

Three people walked into Baka Bell and noticed Sophia and the children. They silently slipped into the seat behind them to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Also, how the heck did the octopuses go to the wedding? Weren't they dead?" Other Child asked.

Another Child shrugged. Child said, "Maybe they revived somehow."

Suddenly Child's head began to hurt painfully. She grabbed the sides of her head. Thousands of thoughts were suddenly in her head. She herself couldn't comprehend any of them. . . I want tacos. . . My true love. . . Octopuses are weird. . . Red water. . . Kill those children.

Child screamed and turned around and was face-to-face with the three evil octopuses. "NO!"

"Seize them!" Boss yelled.

Octopus Two and Three grabbed the children and Sophia. Each one of them struggled against their captors but were unable to escape the octopuses' grasps. They were no match for them. So because they couldn't do anything, they decided to try and demand the octopuses to let go of them.

"GET OFF OF US!!" Other Child screeched.

"No!" Octopus Three replied. He tightened his grip on Other Child.

Then they tried to be as annoying as possible.

"RAKKAKAKAKAK—" Sophia screeched.

"SHUT UP!" Octopus Two yelled.

Then they tried to eat the octopuses. Or at least, Another Child did. He sunk his weird teeth into the tentacle holding him.

"OW!" Boss yelled.

They refused to let go.

"Stupid humans," Octopus Two grumbled. "Let's just kill them."

"The kids, but not my true love!" Boss said and then swooned. Octopus Three caught him.

"Oh, come on! She doesn't even like you!" Octopus Two said.

Boss fluttered his eyes open and frowned. "Just get them back to the basement!"

Octopus Two groaned. All of them together then slithered back to the Evil Octopuses Inc. building and threw the children and Sophia into the basement and locked the door.

"Welp. Here we go again," Sophia groaned.

"At least we have our hula hoops," Child said. Then she picked up a pair of handcuffs from the floor and started hula-hooping with them.

[Two hours later]

It had been two hours since they'd been kidnapped again. The octopuses hadn't made a sound since an hour ago when they were eating Baka Bell and plotting the children's deaths. The only sounds from above after that were Boss's screams/singing in the bathroom and the sounds of Octopus Two cackling randomly. Since thirty minutes ago, Child and Another Child had been sleeping on the itchy mats the octopuses laid out for them. Sophia stared up at the ceiling, wondering when she would ever get the chance to escape again.

Suddenly the basement door opened. Child and Another Child awoke and stared blankly at the three octopuses idling by the doorway. Other Child, on the other hand, instantly started running to the doorway and shoved the octopuses out of her way. Octopus Three toppled over and slid down the stairs as Boss picked Other Child up with one slimy tentacle.

"How dare you! Do you think you can escape our wrath again?" Boss barked at Other Child. "Well, spoiler alert, you won't. I am done with you now. . . You think you're so clever and savvy, well eat THIS! Or rather, I eat YOU." He held Other Child over his octopus mouth and opened wide.

Before he could plop her in his mouth, Other Child kicked Boss in the face and wriggled out of his grasp. Boss flopped over unconscious as she grabbed Child and Another Child and ran out of the building. Sophia whacked Octopus Two in the face as he tried to handcuff her and followed them.
