Wonka's Wars (Book 2 of Oompa Loompa Takeover)

Chapter 23

"Wonka no! Stay with me, please!" Sadessa cried, tears streaming down her face. "Please, please, no!"

"Dessa..." Wonka managed, his face pained.

"There's nothing you can do." Gloobenstomper's Mouthpiece said. "He's been shot with Sixlet bullets. They're small, so he won't die quickly, but their penetration is undeniable. He'll eventually bleed out." He paused for a moment then. Gloobenstomper was grinning. "How's it feel, 'Wonka'? You're stupid attempt to kill me failed. Hey, if you beg, maybe I'll be nice and put you out of your misery." Gloobenstomper then reared back his head and let loose an insane laugh.

Sadessa's gaze was still pinned to Wonka. When she heard Gloobenstomper's laugh however, her eyes glazed over. A fire of roaring rage and hate ignited in her chest. Her upper lip curled. "Hold on..." She whispered to Wonka.

Then, as Gloobenstomper continued in his cackling revelry, Sadessa shot up and rushed him. This time he was caught completely off guard, as was everyone else. She tackled him to the ground and his gun was knocked from his grip as they went skidding.

WHAM, WHAM, WHAM! Sadessa's fist and wrist connected with Gloobenstomper's head before he managed to catch her hand and stump and throw her off him. Gloobenstomper made to scramble up for his weapon but Sadessa grabbed him by his leg and tripped him up. He rolled and kicked her in the face with his other leg. She grunted and lost her grip, pulling away from his range. He twisted and was back on his feet while she was still on her knees. He punched her in the face and she fell to the side, then swept her legs by and sent Gloobenstomper flying.

She rose slowly, her bullet scrapes and shrapnel wounds demanding for her attention loudly. She shoved the pain away, thinking only of Wonka, and what agony he had to be feeling. Just hold on Wonka! She thought. I'll kick this little asswipe's butt and then, somehow, I'll get you help! Gloobenstomper was picking himself up a ways away.

Sadessa dragged the back of her hand across her burst lip. She looked around, surprised to find that none of the soldiers were interfering. They were just watching like an anxious crowd of spectators, a few biting their lips and clenching their fists. Apparently, they felt it would be disgraceful to their leader if they interfered in a fight between him and some human female. She imagined that they were speaking telepathically and saying things like, "Get her, Gloobenstomper! Yeah! Oompa power!"

Just then, Gloobenstomper charged her and Sadessa swung out her leg in an arc that would collide with his head. But before that could happen, he dropped and slid right beneath her. Suddenly, before she could bring her leg back down, he'd twisted behind her and still on his back, sent out a kick. His boots slammed into the inside of her right knee. Sadessa crumpled and fell face first onto the floor.

The crowd of Oompa Loompas around her let out a cry of excitement, some even stomping their boots in approval. Sadessa growled and lifted her face from the dirt floor. She took a quick glance around for Gloobenstomper's dropped weapon, but it was no longer there. She could only guess that one of the soldiers, wanting to see their leader truly tested, had picked it up and moved it away.

She went to lift herself up when suddenly Gloobenstomper came flying out of the air, having flung himself off of his throne, and body-slammed her. Sadessa groaned in pain. "My pancreas..."

Even though Gloobenstomper was only 4' 7" and 142 pounds, Sadessa wasn't actually much bigger at only 5' and 155 pounds. She was frustrated to find that killing him with her bare hands, well hand actually, wasn't going to be so easy. I don't have time for this! She gritted her teeth and as soon as Gloobenstomper rolled off her, she lifted herself and swung out a leg to trip him. It worked; he went down on his ass, which was followed by some "boos" from the crowd.
