The Bad Guys: Marmalade's Revenge!?!

4: Dining Out (Again) / The Basement

This chapter contains Marmalade testing a cat. If you have a trigger related to that, after it says "Meanwhile" scroll to the bottom. Thank you for your understanding, have a marvelous day/night.

Marmalade and Wolf arrive at the restaurant. When they arrived, the host recognized the guinea pig. "Ah, Mr. Marmalade." He said. "Actually, it's Dr. Mar-" Marmalade got interrupted before finishing his name. "You brought a friend?" The host asked Marmalade as they were walking towards their table. "'Sup?" Wolf said. "Is there anyone else dining with you two tonight?" The host asked. "Nope. Wolf answered. "Alright, enjoy your dining experience." The host said as he walked away to help other customers. Wolf and Marmalade sat down, and decided to catch up with each others' lives. "So! Uhh.. How's life in prison?" Wolf started up the conversation. "It was okay." The guinea pig responded. "I did make a lot of friends." He added, remembering who he met. "Okay." Wolf said. "So how's being good working out?" Marmalade asked.
"I mean, since I stopped your heist, everybody loves me."
"That's nice! But do you know what's not nice?"
"What?"
"Snake's grumpiness."
"Pfft-"
They burst into laughter. "You know, Wolf, you and I are not so different." Marmalade noticed. "Yeah." Wolf agreed. It was crazy how the pig could manipulate someone that well. "Remember when I took you under my wing?" Marmalade asked. "Yes!" Wolf answered. "I taught you how to be good, and the feeling too! I was like a father to you." The guinea pig said. Wolf didn't respond.

"I saw your file,"

Mr. Wolf was shocked. "How?" He asked. "You know, I had the opportunity to look before I left." Marmalade explained. "You don't have a traditional family. You're an orphan." Wolf was more creeped out by hearing what the guinea pig said. "Yes.. Yes I am." The canine muttered. "Maybe, after my fund raiser..." Marmalade said. "What will happen?" Wolf asked. "You- Okay. There's no more complicated way to explain this, the adoption papers are in order." The guinea pig explained. Wolf was completely silent. He had no clue what to say, how to react, how his friends will react, just completely clueless. "But THAT is if you are lucky." Marmalade said, then started laughing. Mr. Wolf awkwardly laughed as well, until it slowly shifted back to genuinely having a great time. "Oh!" Marmalade exclaimed. "The food's here!"

"Let us eat."

They eat, and have a good time!

Well, Wolf does.

——😵‍💫🐺🐹

"Well, call me crazy." Wolf said. He opened the door. "I really think he has changed." He told his friends. Snake was near their patio. Piranha and Shark were near the door, and Webs just crawled up from the basement. "What." Mr. Snake, the grumpy-pants, said. "Did he really fool you again!?" Shark said. "Yep. He's loco for sure." Piranha commented. "I agree." Webs said. "Well there was a few things that were suspicious." Wolf explained. "He saw my file, and he had these little moments where he looked evil." He added. "That's strange." Snake commented. "There isn't really anything to do about it though, since he's not even here." Webs said. She went towards Wolf and crawled onto his shoulder. "He's done." Ms. Tarantula whispered to Wolf. "Well! Great. Everyone in the basement, you can sleep later." Wolf announced, as they all went down. "Webs, what did you make him?" Snake asked. "You'll find out!" Webs answered in a singsongy tone.

Meanwhile, at Marmalade's Mansion

"Cuddles, I'm home!" Marmalade projected. He walked inside and sighed. "Back home again... Gosh keeping a fake smile is so tiring." He walked to his statue of him. While the guinea pig was in prison, Cuddles hired people to rebuild his mansion, with a secret in it too. Marmalade walked up to the statue of him and opened the statues head. He pressed a red button inside of it and a bookshelf appeared on a nearby wall. It opened up revealing a long staircase leading to his laboratory. He sat down on a chair near his whiteboard and drew a formula that he wanted to try. It looked like it was successful. "Ah ha! I think I did it." Marmalade said. He then stuck a shot in a vat of glowing liquid. "Time to get a test subject," He said to himself. He goes to the next room in the lab, where there are hundreds, maybe thousands of defenseless, caged kittens. He opened a cage.

The chosen kitten was too scared to come out. It cowered away. Marmalade picked it up and carried it out regardless if it didn't want to. "You're coming with me, Mr." He said to the scaredy-cat. An actual scared cat. He also picked up the cage it came from, as he walked towards the table right next to the white board. He set the cat down. "Let me put some safety gloves on," Marmalade said, as he realized he couldn't perform this experiment without a good quality pair of safety gloves. "Don't be scared, little kitten. You won't get hurt. Well, at least I think you won't. I don't know for sure." Marmalade attempted to console the cat. He held down the cat as he injected a singular dose of the glowing liquid into the feline, and then put it back in the cage. At first, nothing happened. "Oh well. Back to the drawing boar-" He said, before he started to notice the cat was uncontrollably shaking. It ran around the walls of the cage. "Yes! Yes!" Marmalade exclaimed with evil excitement. The cat looked nothing like a normal cat now. "Meow. Meow." The cat dully meowed. He just created something that could cause a lot of destruction. Something violent. He just created...

A zitten.

"Yesss! I perfected the formula! Now, all I need to do is to launch the rocket and my project with it. Time to say bye bye to the Bad Guys! Ahahahaha! YEAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Marmalade laughed maniacally. He suddenly noticed that something was wrong. "What." He observed and noticed the machines stopped building. "Huh? What's going on here?" Marmalade asked in confusion as to why everything stopped. "Ugh! The people have stopped donating! Without money, I can't continue building!" Marmalade was furious. "Think, Rupert, think... How did I get millions of dollars in the last fundraiser?" He asked himself. Then he remembered something. The last time he earned a lot of money, it was from Piranha's amazing singing. "Oh... I see... Now I remember. Guess I have to work with them one last time. Muahahaha! AHAHAHAHAA!" Marmalade laughed. I knew you saw this coming.

For all the people who scrolled past the final part, Marmalade basically made a zombie kitten, like in the books. The experiment was successful, he just needs more funds. He then remembered when Piranha sang and how he got millions. That is a summary for the final part. I'm still really behind, by the way.
