Sweet Apocalypta ( Part Sequel to Oompa Loompa Takeover )

Chapter 8- Hard candies

"The who the what now?" Gerald asked.

"Hard candies, deary." The rainbow replied in a coy manner. "We're a Loompa assassination group, traveling from the state of Maryland trying to find the leaders of each individual hiarchy and off their arses. I'm Kris, but my codename is Skittle. This is sour patch," she pointed at the black haired girl. "Starburst," she pointed at the girl who looks oddly like me. "Pop rocks, Sour Lollipop and Almond joy. Joy for short."

The girl in the navy blue and white outfit smiled sweetly. "Nice to meet yo-"

Pop rocks elbowed Joy as if what she was doing was absolutely wrong.

Joy rubbed her arm and pouted.

I scowled at the teal haired girl who's name was the same as mine. "I'm Sadessa, codenamed Lollypop too.. only sweeter." she just smirked at me and gave me a 'too bad so sad' expression. It just made me curl my nose out of spite.

"And I'm Gerald." my partner added, looking a bit suspicious.

"We saw a power plant just up the road packed full of Loompas. Took down some, stunned the rest." Skittle eyed Starburst as if to tell her 'good job, mate.' then turned her green eyes to me. "Poppy here saw an explosion and made me veer here to check for survivors. Poor things. Are you alright?"

I was offended, I didn't need no babying from a talking unicorn fart. Who do these women think they are? Coming over here and helping. "Yes, I'm fine. Just busted my ankle. And we've got this, okay? We have two more people in the plant itself and-" All of a sudden, a communication device began beeping in Skittle's satchel. She retrieved it, and anwered.

"Oi? No fuck mate? Girls, it seems our town had been raided by enforcers. Fucking hell. You two, get in the jeep and we'll drop you off at the plant. Sour, equip them with some weapons and Joy, give sweetcheeks here some painkillers."

"Can I take the blondie home?" Poppy asked, eyeing Gerald like she was about to devour him whole.

"No, we talked about this. You cannot bring stray men home. Do you recall the last time we brought a stray man home? I don't think he'll mentally recover from that, Poppy." Skittle reminded sternly as she hopped into the jeep. The girls following close by.

Poppy whimpered.

Gerald looked at me, and I looked at him. Then we both followed the girls and got into the jeep.

Joy handed me a syringe of liquid painkiller and it instantly numbed the pain in my ankle. She also checked Gerald, who giggled when she poked his tickle spot.

The girls were whispering among each other. "I hope Adam is okay.." Sour patch said, looking extremely worried. Star put an arm around her and comforted her. Joy's eyes were welling with tears. "What's wrong?" Gerald ask when he noticed her tears. All she did was burst out crying.

"She has a baby back at our town. Her sister is caring for him.." Skittle replied in a monotoned voice, keeping her eyes on the road as she gained in on the factory.

I put my nub on Joy's shoulder and gave her a reassuring smile, happy that she gave a small smile back.

Poppy leaned on Gerald and winked. "So, how old are you, handsome?"

Gerald blushed. "O-oh. Fifteen." he replied, giving a nervous smile.

"Fifteen ey? You know, there is no legal system anymore.." she inched closer to his face. "And you look just bombing to me.."

Gerald began sweating, and when he begins sweating he begins to smell. "He uh, is gay." I jumped in, saving the nervous little tot.

Poppy frowned then crossed her arms. "This world's got but a small population and there is barely no men."
