How very odd, the green haired male thought right as his golden eyes snapped open. He was right; it was the first time this had ever happened after reincarnating. Not once had Flippy ever woken up as Fliqpy before, but there was a first time for everything, he supposed. In fact, Fliqpy would prefer it to always be like this because things weren't as fun when his better half was in control.
Fliqpy groaned loudly while stretching his back, as if he was reliving the pain Splendid had brought upon him the day before, and then he sighed. Maybe the reason Flippy woke up as Fliqpy was because he was so utterly furious. The way he was so easily bested by the blue-haired superhero kept replaying in his mind, and he wanted nothing more than to slaughter that freak. Thankfully, he knew just how to do so.
A good soldier was always prepared, after all.
"Man, it's never felt so fucking good to...ngh," he groaned again, seemingly fighting off his kinder half from taking control while he got to his feet. "...to be alive."

"Cuddles, are you alright?"
"Yeah, thanks, Petunia. I'm fine. Nutty? Flaky? Are you guys good?" The blond boy asked in concern, though he was unintentionally looking at everyone with a scowl. Everyone around him seemed to have the same pissed off expression with their arms crossed, muttering profanities under their breath. Clearly, everyone was Splendid's enemy from here on out. From nearby, more and more of the townspeople came out from their homes and joined the circle that started to form. Finally, someone spoke up.
"So how'll we kill the bastard?"
It was deathly quiet for a while because no one seemed to know how.
"We...shoot him?"
"Which idiot just said that? Like a bullet will do anything to Splendid—he's an invincible superhero for fuck's sake."
"Quit being mean! I don't see you coming up with a better idea!"
"He's not a hero anymore, but yes, he's practically immortal," someone else mentioned. It was true; Splendid had only ever died twice.
"Oi! Everyone, shut up and listen!" Cuddles hollered. Now he remembered why he hated holding town meetings; there were too many loudmouths talking at once. However, he did understand everyone's anger. Splendid had tied everyone up for a whole day while literally breaking them, only to kill them off brutally in the end. Being this outraged was only natural.
"As much as I hate to admit it, we cannot beat Splendid alone. Not even with our combined efforts. The biggest advantage he has over us is that he has powers," Cuddles continued, seeing everyone's expressions turn fearful. The hero was essentially a monster who was wearing human skin—one that none of them could stand up to. They had every right to be afraid.
Toothy trembled in his spot and spoke for once. "I-I don't understand why he did this! Why would he do this to everyone? He always tries to save us and does nice things for everyone, so why'd he suddenly go psycho on us?!" he asked, wringing his fingers into his hair, seemingly having a panic attack by mentally reliving the experience. He didn't want to die by Splendid's hands ever again. Everyone murmured in agreement, asking the same question. Cuddles glanced at them again with furrowed brows.
'Should I tell them all it's because of (Name)?' He silently wondered. He didn't want them to think this was your fault because it genuinely wasn't. As Cuddles was debating how to bring this up, an angry voice pierced the air.
"You all want to know he snapped all of a sudden?!"
Cuddles knew that voice quite well. His eyes narrowed with anger before yelling right back. "Giggles, don't you dare!"
She scoffed as she came into view, angry that her good friend felt the need to side with you even now. "Why? They all deserve to know. I'm sure some people have figured it out already," she said, looking at Nutty and Lammy. Nutty glared back with a single narrowed eye while Lammy muttered something to Mr. Pickles before clutching him closer to her.
"The reason he's so messed up now is because of (Name)." Giggles announced. The blond boy let out a frustrated sigh. Cue the whispers, cue the confusion. Everyone finally noticed you weren't standing amongst them.
"Enough! She didn't make him do this. Splendid's been stalking her for a long time, which isn't her fault." Cuddles tried to convince them, though a few people just weren't buying it. It was half true, anyway. The main reason Splendid hurt everyone in town was because he was tired of saving them, but Cuddles knew nothing about that.
"Guuuuys, he's already insane. It doesn't matter that he likes (Name)—the only thing that does matter is how we should beat him." Lumpy said from the middle of the crowd, and everyone promptly went silent because the stupidest man alive just offered the most rational words. Lumpy didn't often have a good point, so people decided to listen the one time he did. Murmurs of agreement slowly filled the air again.
Cuddles cleared his throat before shooting Lumpy a grateful look. "Alright then. We know that Splendid has been hurt by that guy Splendont once, but I don't know if we can find him. Plus, it's possible he won't even help us. What other weaknesses does Splendid have?"
Suddenly, maniacal laughter erupted from a man who seemed to have appeared from nowhere behind the crowd. He had an answer, but no one wanted to stick around to hear it.
"RUN!!!" Toothy screamed at the top of his lungs. Forget Splendid; Fliqpy was the most violent being this town had. Chaos ensued immediately as everyone haplessly ran about at the sight of Fliqpy approaching them. It was funny how they all came here to work together, but now it was every man for himself. Lumpy weaved his way through the crowd with ease, not quite understanding why everyone was running, and Cuddles watched helplessly as many people trampled over Petunia. He winced when he saw Pops drop Cubs on accident, who was then almost speared in the eye from Mole's cane.
This was, without a doubt, the last time Cuddles would ever call a town meeting.
Soon it was just Cuddles and Lumpy staring Fliqpy down.
"You," Fliqpy pointed at Cuddles.
"Uhh, m-me?" Cuddles asked and dumbly pointed to himself.
Fliqpy rolled his eyes. "Am I looking at anyone else?" he asked, his voice condescending as he regarded Cuddles. He reached his hand inside his jacket to pull something out, and Cuddles tensed up whilst almost starting to hyperventilate. "It's not a grenade, dumbass, it's this," he continued and pulled out a shiny green looking rock. Cuddles didn't seem to know what the radioactive material was and Lumpy just stared at it confusedly.
"Where'd you get Kryptonut?" Lumpy asked. Somehow, he knew exactly what it was, which caused Cuddles to look at Lumpy with a startled expression. How could Lumpy possibly know something he didn't?
Fliqpy grinned darkly and hid it back into his jacket. "That doesn't matter. I'm going to kill Splendid with this, so you losers can forget about beating him because I'm gonna do it first. I just stopped by to warn you to stay out of my way. See ya later," he replied in a bored tone before sauntering away.
Cuddles and Lumpy watched his retreating form and collectively sighed in relief.
"Oh, man! I thought we were goners," Cuddles said and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"Mmm-hmm!"
They both stood in silence for a moment until Cuddles heard a familiar ticking sound...
*tick...tick... tick...tick*
Cuddles groaned in misery. Poor boys could never catch a break. They literally just reincarnated and were already in trouble again. "He planted a bomb here, didn't he?"
*tick...tick...ticktickticktickBEEEEEP*
"Mmm-hmm."
