PART FOUR
Earl Lyon was in charge of the party.
"What's going on?", he asked.
"The party's a-go", Randall West answered.
"Good. Because...", Earl Lyon saw the guests in the water. "That's good. The Colonel and Doctor Mengers are around sipping champagne.
And then he smiled.
He walked to the platform.
"Good afternoon! Welcome to the party. As I've said before, I want all of y'all to relax...and have a great night. If you need anything, let me know", Earl said.
And then he left the platform, and drank his beer.
~~~
The guests were in the water.
They splashed; they wiggled around.
And then the piranhas arrived.
And they ripped into their legs. Flesh tore. Blood gushed. And then everyone died in a bloody mess.
~~~
Randall suddenly rushed towards Earl.
"The piranhas are eating the guests, Sir!", he said.
"What do you mean they're eating the guests?", Earl asked. And then he saw the dead bodies...and the piranhas.
"SEAL THE FUCKING WATER DAM!". Paul Grogan answered.
"Get divers in the water!", Doctor Mengers said.
He was dressed in a black colored scuba outfit, and slippers. He then, with a team of three divers, all made sure they breathed by using snorkels in their mouths.
And went into the depths of Lost River Lake.
~~~
The piranhas ate into the scuba divers' legs. They screamed. Then Paul Grogan grabbed some rope. He made it into the site of the old military facility.
Piranhas bit into his hands, and legs. Despite some blood, he turned the wheel. And, as fresh air burst inward, he saw the black colored gate open. And the piranhas followed like soldiers. Once they were inside, Paul Grogan grabbed some high explosives. He set it to explode in three minutes' time.

...Then:
BOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!
~~~~
Paul Grogan made it out in time.
"PAUL!", Maggie and Whitney kissed and hugged him.
"It's over!", he said.
And then they headed back to his mountain home in Montana in a Military van. And the nightmare had finally ended.
~~~~
As everyone left, the new piranha eggs were kept warm.
They hadn't hatched yet.
But when the babies were born, and entered the cold water, they would all become eating machines of death...like the original piranhas were since their birth in the lab under the "Operation Razorteeth" program, several years' before.
