Once the kids approached the mall, even though it looked a lot more run-down than usual, they noticed a bakery was somehow open during all this chaos. The desserts looked pretty tasty too... aside from the oddly bad aroma they gave off.
Upon closer inspection, the cookies had letters written on them. They spelled out "Will".
"Th-that's... that's my name..." Pump said.
"Wait, WHAT???" Skid was surprised.
"Yeah, my real name is Will."
"I... I like that name," Skid smiled.
"But why are the cookies spelling your name?" asked Susie.
They also saw a cake that had "Susie" written on the top. The person of that name stumbled back in shock upon seeing that.
"Hey, how come I don't get one?" asked Skid.
"HEY!!!" a voice boomed, causing the place to shake. "GETCHA HANDS OFF THE DESSERTS!!!"
"AAH! We're sorry!!!" Will squeaked.
An incredibly tall human, but nowhere near as tall as Kevin or the Happy Fella monster, burst through the door, also sending some of the wall crumbling down.
"F-Frank?!" Skid gasped. "Wait... he actually looks kinda normal."
"Whaddaya mean?! I've been lookin like this all the damn time!" Frank yelled.
Then, he paused.
"Hold on a second... you kids are exactly who I'm lookin' for!"
"What do you want from us?!" Will asked. "We thought we were friends!"
Although Susie was initially worried about how Will and Skid knew Frank, she decide to not ask.
"Ya stupid fuckin' kids DON'T understand... ya shoulda listened to ya mommies and daddies," Frank told them. "And now, ya haveta pay the price..."
"We do understand!" Skid cried, hiding behind Susie, who also was reminded of her and Will's mother and father.
"F-Frank, we're sorry," Will sobbed. "S-Skid's mom passed away though, a-and... oh no... OH NO!"
Frank laughed. "Thanks for reminding me... come with me. I got a surprise for you kids..."
"IF YOU ACTUALLY KILLED THEM, I AM TEARING YOUR FUCKING THROAT OPEN," Susie snapped.
Frank grabbed all 3 of them in his massive hands, which were covered with huge, steel gauntlets. As they struggled to escape, they were thrown into a dark room.
When the lights turned on, they saw the most horrifying thing...
It was a gravestone with only a photo of Will and Susie's parents on it.
"I make my just desserts out of human meat nowadays," Frank boasted. "When your parents showed up, I couldn't help myself."
Susie couldn't believe this... her heart sank. Her breathing got choppy, and her eyes got teary.
Will trembled. This couldn't be real. This shouldn't be real. Their parents were dead. DEAD. Just like Skid's mom.
Finally, Susie and Will hugged each other in a tight grip, sobbing loudly.
Skid never got to know his technically-adoptive parents, so he also cried, hugging his siblings.
"WHY?! WHY THE HELL DID THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN?!?! WHYYYYYY?!?!?!" Will wept.
"You missin' em?" Frank asked in a taunting tone.
"YES WE FUCKING MISS THEM YOU HORRIBLE FUCKING MONSTER!!!!!!" Susie screamed.
"Well then... HOW'S ABOUTCHA SEE EM AGAIN?!?!"
Frank pulled out two chainsaws, and a difficult but vicious fight began.
Skid almost got hit by one of the chainsaws, but Will pushed him out of the way, saving him.
Susie approached from behind, jumped on top of Frank, and began strangling him with a chain. A sharp piece of the chain slit Frank's throat, as she intended on doing.
The younger brothers each grabbed one of Frank's legs to try and immobilize him, but he kicked Will away, right into a statue of the Uncle. The statue almost fell on top of Will, but he rolled out of the way.
Skid grunted and started climbing up Frank as well, but he grabbed him and picked him up in his clenched fist. At this point, Frank didn't even care that he was being strangled... at first.
Susie swung off of Frank and pulled the chain towards herself as she landed on her feet in front of him.
He stumbled and fell down right on top of his own chainsaws, each slicing him on either side of the abdomen. Blood flew all over the place as he screamed his final screams.
Susie shielded Skid and Will's eyes from the mess, and Skid once again threw up on the floor.
"Y-Y-Y-O-O-O-U-U-U... D-D-A-A-M-N... K-I-I-I-I-D-S!!!!!!!!" Frank hollered, his voice vibrating ominously through the air. "W-W-H-E-N T-T-H-E... V-I-I-R-U-S T-A-A-A-K-E-S M-M-M-E... I-I-I-I... W-W-W-W-I-L-L-L-L-L... K-I-L-L-L-L Y-O-O-OOOOooooouuuuu..."
As Frank's voice trailed off, the chainsaws slowly deactivated, and the giant fell on the ground face-first. Dead.
Suddenly, Will started to cry.
"I WANT MOM AND DAD BACK!!!" he screamed. "IT'S NOT FAIR!!! NOW ALL 3 OF US ARE ORPHANS!!!!!! Susie, Skid, please, I want them back!!!"
Susie and Skid could only hug Will and comfort him.
"Will... don't cry..." Susie whispered soothingly but shakily.
"BUT I WANNA CRY!!!!" shouted Will. "OUR PARENTS ARE DEAD, AND WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!!! WE'VE SUFFERED TOO MUCH, AND I'M SO... FUCKING SICK OF IT!!! I WISH THIS STUPID VIRUS NEVER EXISTED! THERE HAS TO BE A CURE!!!"
"We'll find one, and if not, we'll stay together till the end," Susie said. "And even after that."
Will started to worry.
"B-b-but... what if one of us doesn't make it?"
Skid gave him another hug.
"Everything will be fine."
