cornflakes are good

Part Fourteen

Warning: This part mentions definite death and violence

[At the Evil Octopuses Inc.]

"Dang. What do we do with Boss being dead?" Octopus Two asked his octopus companion.

"Eat tacos I guess," Octopus Three replied.

Then Octopus Two's device pinged. He checked the notification. Emily had messaged him. He frowned and suspiciously looked at the message. Since when did he give his number to a stinking roach like Emily?

He turned to Octopus Three. "Yo, E—"

And then the door of the octopus lair exploded. The two octopuses gagged and coughed. Smoke and smog was swarming the entire building. The smoke alarms went off, beeping annoyingly. Octopus Two gagged and opened his eyes. He saw a humanoid figure at the doorway, but he couldn't tell who it was exactly. Once the smoke partially cleared, he could clearly see who their bomber was. Senpie.

"Ew, a bald rat," Octopus Three muttered.

"Ew, a sea animal with forehead wrinkles," Senpie replied.

"Gah!" Octopus Two coughed. He had quite a coughing fit before he could talk normally again. He gave Senpie an evil glare and asked him, "Why are you here?!"

"I need something from you," Senpie responded. "Something very special that particularly your boss has. . ." He sighed and looked at Boss's dead body sitting beside Octopus Two and Three. "A love potion."

All of a sudden, Boss deeply inhaled at the sound of these words and fluttered his eyes open. He stood up properly and looked Senpie in the eye.

"How do you know about my love potion?" Boss asked him.

"You know. . . It's not much of a secret that you owned the lab inside that little cute high school not so far away," Senpie told him. "However, you closed it, and now it seems I need to go directly to you to get what I want."

"No! It's for my true love! My true love only!" Boss yelled.

"Not anymore," Senpie said. "Now it's for mine." He pulled out a gun. "Hand it over, or I'll get it myself."

Boss stared at Senpie, speechless. Senpie stared at him back and sighed. "I'm not a patient person. Do you want to do this the hard way or not?" he asked Boss.

When Boss didn't do anything, he sighed again. "Okay then." He shot Boss's octopus arm and sprinted over to him. He reached into Boss's fricking octopus pocket crap and took out the potion inside it. Then he roundhouse kicked Boss, rendering him unconscious. Senpie clutched the potion in his hand tightly and looked out the doorway dramatically. He then bolted outside before Octopus Two or Three could attack him.

[Meanwhile at Spookman's house]

Spookman was dancing in the living room. After all the horrible events that occured the previous day, he felt miserable. He wasn't sure how to feel about DUCK anymore since he was actually in love with Senpie. But he said he also loved Spookman, but who knows? Spookman sighed and continued dancing. He knew he shouldn't be stressing out so much about this, but he couldn't not stress out about it.

And then there was the sound of a gun being loaded and pointed right at the back of his skull. Spookman gasped.

BANG! "GAAHHHH!" Spookman collapsed to the floor in a pile of assorted bones. Senpie looked down at Spookman and grinned evilly.

Senpie pulled out his love potion and cackled. "Now, I shall find DUCK." He quickly transformed into his magical girl form and flew outside the open window.

Spookman's skull twitched once. Twice. He stared at Senpie with hatred as he flew out of the window. Then Spookman used his disembodied hands to put himself back together. "This isn't the end of me, Senpie."

[Meanwhile with DUCK]

DUCK sat in the ditch that he was thrown into by Emily. "Sigh," DUCK said to himself. He stared up into the empty blue sky. "What does a duck have to do find love?"

Then Senpie flew over to him in his magical girl form.

"Senpie?!" DUCK asked.

Before he could say anything else, Senpie shoved the love potion down DUCK's throat. DUCK gagged and coughed and soon was under the love potion's spell. He looked at Senpie with a lovingly way.

"DUCK, my true love!" Senpie said to him.

And then they made out.

Until Spookman came running over.

"DUCK!!" Spookman screeched. He pulled out Senpie's gun and aimed it at Senpie. "HOW DARE YOU!"

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" Senpie shrieked. "I KILLED YOU!"

"I'M IMMORTAL!" Spookman screamed.

Senpie stared at Spookman with disbelief. He messed up, and he knew it. How did he not realize that Spookman could be immortal? After all, he was a skeleton man.

Spookman ground his teeth. "I won't let you get away with all the bad deeds you've done now. You need to die, Senpie." He loaded the gun.

Suddenly Senpie lunged at him. "NO! I CAN'T DIE NOW!" He punched Spookman and tried to reach for the gun in his hand, but Spookman kicked him in the groin and tossed him onto the ground. Senpie groaned in pain as Spookman pointed the gun at him again.

"I can't believe you tried to do that, Senpie," Spookman said with a grim look on his face. He stared into Senpie's eyes and frowned. "It's pathetic."

"No, please," Senpie sobbed. "Mercy!"

"And now you're begging me to spare your life," Spookman said. "Sad. Just like your existence." BANG! Senpie flopped over into a puddle of red water.

DUCK watched the entire thing with a horrified look on his face. Then he began to choke on his own spit and threw up the potion, bottle and all, out of stress. He collapsed to the floor, unconscious. Since Spookman didn't necessarily know exactly how to deal with these two bodies, he just turned around and ran away.
