The Incomplete World Of Elmore

Part 24

~Afraid Of The Dark

Darrel found himself in the homeroom classroom facing the teacher, Ms. Schatten. The hot dog was out of breath while on the defensive, and this shadow ninja kept attacking him with shurikens and kunai, hiding in the shadows. The shadow ninja stood with her arms folded. Seeing that this target wasn't a serious threat, her son informed her, and she decided to toy with him. Then suddenly, she shifted into a fighting stance as if preparing to strike a hot dog.

"Attack me with all your strength," Schatten threatens the hot dog, and he responds by pulling out his light cane like a sword.

"Coward, A warrior doesn't pull their weapon unless prepared to kill- Ahh." Schatten thinks she can lower his guard by talking, but she gets her hand cut off and is almost slashed. She jumps into the shadows, disappearing.

"Attacking a person while they speak—where is your honor!?" Schatten shouts, acting like a victim, as she appears behind him and pulls out some shurikens.

"You're a ninja! You don't have any honor or a moral code!" Darrel said as he lit up his cane blade.

He hears Shurikens being thrown behind him as he swings to deflect them, but Schatten appears before him. Then he slashes her, but a log appears as now she's behind him, prepared to stab him with the knife that popped out of her cut-off arm. He tries to turn around, but it's too late as he's then stabbed in the back by Scatten, causing him to yelp and fall to the ground. His blade goes off, but his hand is holding it. Assuming she won, he whispers to his "corpse," not checking that he was dead first.

"Are you afraid of the dark?" She is suddenly slashed through the face by the glowing cane as his hand stabs her through the head with it. Darrel gets back up after playing possum and then punches her through the chest, sending her to the desk and destroying it.

"No I got a nightlight." Darrel then gags over what he said.

Schatten swiftly moves, unleashing an unrelenting barrage of attacks using her shurikens. Her opponent lands a blow, only to discover that it's a substitution. As she gets ready to attack him from behind, he uses a bright, flashing light to blind her, forcing her to protect her eyes. Seizing the chance, he evades and prepares to deliver a fatal strike with his light blade, mocking her for being predictable. However, as he swings his sword, he hears a "poof" sound - another substitution. Suddenly, Schatten reappears above him, ready to strike at his head with a lethal blade.

Just as the blade is about to make Darrel into a shish kabob, the window breaks as Gumball kicks Schatten away from the hot dog. Then, Gumball grabs her by the collar of her scarf and uses Krisel's head to bite the scarf, twisting the head of the top as hard as he can, causing her to spin around the classroom, getting dizzy. Gumball then gives Darrel the head and spine of Kreisel. He turns his cane to slice Schatten in half, who is still recovering. Then, he wraps her neck with the fishing rod rope around her neck, reels her in, spins her around, and slams her into the window. Gumball pulls the rope and breaks the shadow ninja's neck, lighting it like a jack-o-lantern. The two boys look down at the hanging corpse. Neither one reacts to it. Then, Darrel removed the spine from his cane and tried it up.

"You saved my buns this time." Darrell sounded a bit grateful as he took some shurikens and gave them to the Cabbit.

"I was honestly aiming for Moreau's office to kick his bald, ugly face." Gumball punched his hands together, causing a bit of a shockwave.

~Hallway

The Cabbit and the hot dog are running through the halls of the Franklin school.

Where's Aphrodite?" The cat asked in his bored voice.
