"Choose me, Henry."

Chapter 25: Final Confrontation

Rupert is confronted by a Toppat who may or may not be banging Sven, he is not happy. He doesn't have time for this, he needs to find Henry but this Toppat is not letting him go. 

Warning: Does anyone need an arm and a leg?

"And you are?" Rupert drawled, still glaring at the Toppat who dared to point a pike at him.

The toppat wore a black and purple suit that suited her hair and eyes. Her hair was long and her color was the same as Rupert's. Her eyes were the color of amethyst but her eyes held evil mirth at Rupert.

"The name's Carol Cross." Carol sneered, "And you didn't answer my statement about Henry."

"What statement?" Rupert asked, playing dumb.

"You must be his boy toy," Carol repeated.

"No. I'm not his boy toy," Rupert responded, "I'm his lover."

Carol chuckled darkly, "Really? You? You're the guy that Henry dumped Burt for?"

Rupert growled, "Yeah, and your point?" he said angrily.

Carol pointed her pike dangerously close to his neck, "My point is that Burt is now in jail because of you and Henry!" she responded in a shrill tone.

"It's not my fault he called Henry a slut." Rupert said under his breath.

Before Carol could retort, Rupert kicked the pike away. Carol cried out in surprise, Rupert kicked her in the stomach. She fell with an oof as Rupert went to go grab her pike, Carol quickly recovered and got out her gun. She aimed her gun at Rupert and pulled the trigger. Luckily, Rupert hid behind a cabinet. Rupert got out his gun and looked over to locate Carol, he saw her looking over at him. He pulled the trigger and bullets shot toward Carol but she dodged them. Carol came out of her hiding place, she was holding her gun.

"Come out, you hedgehog," Carol jeered, "You can't hide forever."

Rupert knew she was right.

Rupert was coming up with a plan, he needed to take her out as soon as possible so he could find Henry, he jumped when he heard more gunshots. Rupert ran out of his hiding place as Carol kept shooting at him, but he dodged them. Carol was getting more frustrated, she dropped the gun and took out a rifle. Rupert saw this, and he reacted quickly. He sprinted toward her and knocked the rifle out of her hand, she cried out in surprise and kicked her away. Rupert grabbed the rifle as Carol got out a sword, "How many weapons does she have!?" he thought as he saw Carol running towards him.

Rupert used the rifle to block her sword, and Carol swung her sword at him despite Rupert blocking her attacks. Rupert knocked her sword out of her hand and was about to grab her wrist but she took out her pocket knife and slashed his face. She aimed at his eye and there was now a large gash over his eye, Rupert cried out in pain as he put a hand on his wounded eye.

"Awww, what's the matter, porcupine?" Carol taunted with an evil grin as she saw Rupert was bleeding, "Can't handle the pain?"

Rupert was trembling as rage took over. With inhuman speed, he grabbed her knife and pushed her against a wall. She hit her head on the concrete, and she cried out in pain, Rupert grabbed the sword she dropped. Without thinking, he stabbed her in the stomach. Carol's eyes widen as her clothes turn crimson and her mouth spat out blood. Rupert plunged the sword deeper into her stomach, making her spit out more blood.

Rupert glared at her as Carol smiled, her mouth covered with the red substance, "G-Good j-job, porcupine," she said as her eyes were losing life in them, "I-I c-can see why Henry l-ikes you so much.

"Go to hell," Rupert said in annoyance. Carol spat blood on his face as she began to lose consciousness, she closed her eyes and moved no more. She was dead.
