Chapter: 5
Guitar chan struggled through the tight cracks of the cave, but Shovel Kun helped her along each tunnel. His 'lantern' glowed in the dark, Invader Zim themed caves. "You'll be okay my sweet musical dear." She didn't know what to say. "Shovel kun, you know my heart belongs to Poco." Shovel kun's smile dropped. "Yes... I know... that bag of bones does not deserve your beautiful complections m'dear." Guitar chan didn't like his words. She grew even more stern... "Don't talk about him like that. HE IS MY PAPI!" Shovel kun was taken aback, "okayjeezfine." "S-Sorry, i just really miss him..." "It's fine Guitarra..." he put his hand on her soundboard...
"I missed you too..."
Every brawler in Brawl Town was comforting the depressed and sobbing skeleton. "Poco it'll be fine." "We'll find her!" "Poco, please stop crying" Their voices melted into one nagging beast. Poco screamed, "SHUT UP! YOU DON'T KNOW HER LIKE I DO!" Crow suddenly dived in grabbing Mortis by his wrists. "I found 'im!' He dropped Mortis and he hit the ground, shaking. Poco stormed over there, more furious than ever. "...Where. Is. She..." Mortis laughed. "I doubt you'll find her! She's hidden away at my cave! You should've heard her scream Poco! She cried for you and you never came to rescue her!" Poco was shaking with anger. "What. Did. YOU SAY?!" Poco ripped Piper's umbrella from her hands. Mortis quivered, "P-Poco don't- I didn't mean-" Without hesitation Poco drove the pink parasol down through his heart. Mortis stood there coughing up his own blood whilst Poco stared at him. All of the other brawlers were horrified. Rosa mumbled, "I'm one scared saponaria..." Poco brushed his sleeve on his shirt, the blood seeped deep into the black tuxedo as he stared blankly into the abyss. Rosa slowly came up behind him, trembling. "P-Poco, what on supercell's green earth did you do?" He turned around and whispered. "I did what I had to do..." He brushed past the crowd into the night as Piper struggled to get her umbrella from Mortis' still corpse.
"What. I. Had. To. do....."
Chapter: 6
Guitar chan and Shovel kun finally emerged from the dark, deep, musty cave of horrors (and Invader Zim merch). Guitar chan looked up at the sky, "You know, my Papi and I adored star gazing... he even wrote me a song about it once!" she giggled. Even through the seeping fog, Shovel kun could see her sadness... She began to whisper in a melodic tune and Shovel kun soon joined in as well.
"You.... you know that song?" he smiled warmly at her "I heard you sing it every night Guitarra, your voice soothed me to bed m'dear." She looked over at him. "Shovel Kun... D-Do you really mean that?" She murmured under her breath. He caressed her face "Of course my love" He somberly said as he looked over at her. She was... crying. "My love, It hurts me to see you like this. What's wrong, my dear?" "It's just I really miss him, I've never wanted to spend more than a second away from him and now..." She shuddered. Almost like it was out of fear. "I've had to live through that nightmare." She looked down. Shovel-Kun comforted her as his lantern glowed brightly, illuminating the grass upon the hill.
"Hey Poco, I got you something to cheer you up!" Rosa beamed as she led him across Brawl Town. Poco stumbled across town, barely able to keep himself up. "Geez Rosa, was the blindfold really necessary?" Rosa looked at him with a downturned expression. "I promise you'll really like it. It cost a whole heck of a lot of games." Poco smiled at her rebuttal. Rosa reached toward his blindfold and untied it. "There! You can look now." There, sitting on Rosa's table was a hastily wrapped present.
Poco was touched by the gesture, but it was no surprise. Inside of the flower print wrapping was a big, bright brawl box. Rose beamed as he prodded at the box of chance. He smiled warmly... Rosa understood... and she cared for him. He opened up the brawl box. Gems, coins points, et cetera... but there in the box stood something so magnificent. So glorious he was rattling. There it was...
His star power...
"De Capo"
