The Bad Guys: Marmalade's Revenge!?!

9: The Plan

Step One: Finding a Cure

"Marmalade said the C.U.T.E Zilla reverses the genetic structure of anything cute and cuddly." Diane said. "Surprised it didn't infect you, Wolf. Heh." She flirted under her breath. "What?" Snake asked. "Nothing. So, we need to conjure up a formula to reverse the already-reversed genetic structure. Once we do that, it's on to step two."

Step Two: To the Moon!

"We have to find a way to get to the moon, once we get the antidote." Diane explained. "Why do we need to get to the moon?" Shark asked. "Why can't we just use it on the zombies?" Snake added. "Because C.U.T.E Zilla is still on. The EMP's effects are worldwide. If we try to reverse a zombie, it might be fine for a split second, but the C.U.T.E Zilla might reverse the genetics again." She said. "Oh." Shark commented.

Step Three: Through the Defenses

"Step three. Once we're in space, we have to go through Marmalade's defenses. Not sure he'll have any, but he probably will just in case anyone tries to stop him. After we get through that, we have to fight the guinea pig himself." Diane said. "That's good. It's going to be so easy, he's just a little shrimp. All we have to do is just kick him and he's down." Shark said. "Nice. Payback." Snake replied. "I would most DEFINITELY like that." Wolf growled.

Step Four: Flip the Switch

"We switch out the chemicals that reverse the genetic structure with the antidote. Basically, flipping the switch. Then, we win." Diane said. "I must say, this is an awesome plan." Wolf complimented. "Well, I am the Crimson Paw." She replied.

*Ring Ring!*

"What was that?" Snake asked.

*Ring Ring!*

"You gonna get that?" Shark asked.

"Yes." Diane said.

*Beep!*

"Hello?" Diane asked. "Fox, where are you!? We're waist deep in cuddles here!" A mysterious voice said. "I'm sorry! I'm busy!" Diane replied. "You're busy!? We're having a hard time escorting the survivors here. Punching these zombies is like punching boulders! Can't believe they used to be so soft."
"Again, I'm sorry Agent Kitty Cat."
"I don't give a fudge! You better get your tail over here or we'll be zombie chow!"
"Okay, just try to stay alive for a few hours. I'll be there, I promise."
"Fine, but don't be surprised if we're not here when you arrive. *Beep!* Quick, Hogs! We need to get them out of here!" A zitten is heard in the background. "Oh no you dont!" She sounded like she punched it.

"She hung up on me. Rude. Hm.. I don't have enough time to get over there. Alright, that's it. We're splitting teams." Diane said.

"What!?" Everyone but Diane said. "Something came up. We need to go on this mission and the others to look for survivors. Wolf, Snake, and Webs are coming with me. Shark and Piranha, you guys save people." She said. "What-" Shark got interrupted. They need better manners. "Why us? Are we not as important?" Piranha asked. "We can't just let those survivors die! Some people are stranded in bodies of water, that we can't access, but you can. It can be very dangerous because of zolphins and zirds." Diane explained. "What are zirds?" Piranha asked. "So, you up for it?" She asked. "Yeah, baby!" Mr. Shark was excited. "Umm.." Piranha looked nervous. "What's the matter?" Diane asked. "I have a tiny problem with that, señorita." He said. "Yes?"
"I'm a freshwater fish." Piranha said. Snake had been talking to Wolf while Diane was talking to Shark and Piranha. Snake was sort of listening though, and he heard what Piranha had said. "So?" Snake asked. "I'm not supposed to swim in the ocean. It can be very bad for my tummy." He replied. "We don't want that happening again." Shark said. "What kind of fish doesn't want to get in the water?" Snake asked. "Not saying I WONT, just not a fan of salt water." The reptile looked provoked. Startled too. "You're a fish-"
"I'm a FRESHWATER fish! If I go in the ocean I might pass out."
"So basically, you and Mr. Shark would rather walk around and go on a boat because you don't want salt in your gills?"
"Hmph!"
"It's okay, Piranha, if we need to walk around we walk around, GOT IT SNAKE?" Shark said. "Yeah yeah, just remember to not get any salt in this delicate flower." Snake taunted, jokingly. "THAT'S IT! I'M GONNA-" Piranha almost charged towards Snake. Luckily, Wolf stepped in between the two at the perfect timing. "Guys, she can hear you. Can we not kill each other in front of Diane-?" Wolf said. One of his hands was separating the reptile from the fish, but his other hand seemed to be...

Oops.

He looked towards the other hand. "AHHH!" Wolf panicked more. The zitten was about to rip his other hand off. Diane rushed in and sprayed it. That's gonna leave a mark. "So, Piranha?" Diane asked. "I'll do it." Piranha replied. "Great, now both of you grab a parachute!" Diane commanded. "You have arrived at your destination, Shark and Piranha. Thank you for traveling with Webs Airlines." Webs said. Diane tossed the two parachutes. They fit perfectly! Shark quickly read the manual to Piranha, and they were ready to jump! Right by the opening, Piranha was about to go out first. "Piranha, wait!" Snake said. He slithered towards Piranha a little. "What?" Piranha asked. He looked like a mix of mad and confused. What did he want now? "I'm proud of you. For risking it all. For the safety of the world. Good luck, Mr. Piranha." Snake said. That was already enough to make up for the earlier argument. Piranha smiled. "Wow. Thanks." He said. Snake got the wag for a second. "Be careful to not get asSALTED." He joked.

*Badum Tsss!*

"I'M GONNA-" Piranha was so close to getting mad, and so close to jumping off. He realized it was pointless to fight back. He looked shocked as he was only inches away. The best option available was just to laugh it off. All that anger management stuff really worked. "Sorry." Piranha apologized, and jumped off. "See ya, Mr. grumpy pants!" Shark joked, as he jumped off.

"Okay, so now since they're doing their job, we have to do ours." Diane said. "What was it again?" Wolf asked. "Well, its no doubt that Marmalade definitely played around with chemicals at the mansion..."

[The Area He Experimented At]

"Yeah, you know what happened. So, I'm taking you all to someone who can create an antidote." Diane said. "An antidote? It's been three hours and that's already possible." Wolf said, surprised. "Two, actually. But yeah! We're going to be here for a while."
"Alright, I'm gonna go take a nap."
"Okay then." Diane said. She wasn't really that shocked, that was one of the few ways to pass time quickly. "Hey, Diane, do you like Wolf?" Snake asked. "No, he's rude, unclassy, and..." Diane said, and she started to daydream a future with him. "Oh look, there he is." Snake teased. "Where!?"
"Hehehehe..."
"C'mon, seriously?"
"Don't you just love him?"
"Ohhh my gosh."
"You know you do."
"Really? Prove it then, Snake."
"Wolf!" Snake quickly pointed his tail to a random part of the room. "Huh?" Diane frantically looked left and right, until she realized she got played again. Snake kept teasing her on and on again. He was having fun. Until... "Alright. That's it. Take this!"

As Webs was flying, she could hear arguing sounds. Sounded like they were fighting a little bit. She was getting a little tired. Flying for several hours on end was no easy task. Suddenly, Snake slithered in, he looked exhausted. "Ughh.." He groaned. "Serves you right!" Webs said.
