TALES FROM THE CRYPT #27

Streaky, Bathound and some others were a attending a funeral for a recently deceased canine, glad happened to be there pouring dirt into the grave, "It's a real shame with what happened to him" streaky said.

The dog that they're burying is Krypto, the Superdog, he supposedly got in an accident and died, but he wasn't the only one, the members of the dog stars also got into accidents and died.

Streaky looked at the graves of the deceased members and asked "how did they die again?".

"well, brainy was the first to go." Bathound said, "she was relaxing in a swimming pool at a pet hotel, when an Alexa fell from the top floor."

His voice was full of sombre as he described the deaths, "then tail terrier was next, he was working on a farm when a hay baler malfunctioned and he was caught in it's path, hot dog inadvertently caused an explosion at a gas station, after that Tusky got hit by a driverless car, mammoth mutt got caught in a building collapsing, bull dog drowned while on a cruise and paw pooch wound up electrocuted."

He turned to face the recent grave "of course you know how he got killed." Streaky nodded with sadness, and turned to face his nephew's grave. "You miss him, don't you." Bathound said. Once again, Streaky nodded.

And somewhere in another part of the cemetery, was Delilah, and she was looking at a grave. The grave of her boss Mechanikat.

You see, Delilah and Mechanikat used to be the most #1 criminals in the galaxy, but recently he had been caught and executed shortly after, but Delilah and her partner Snooky had been spared and banished to earth, while Snooky accepted the consequences, Delilah took it personally and vowed to get revenge.

Her first victim was brainy, she tracked the poor dog down to a hotel, and threw an Alexa from the top floor into the pool.

After that she tracked tail terrier to a farm he was staying at, and turned on a hay baker that was in the shed.

As for hot dog, he was near a gas station that had unknowingly had gasoline dumped all over the place, and when he was close, Delilah threw a lit match and the place was in flames.

Next was Tusky, he was resting near a hill unaware that, you know who, drove a stolen car to the top and released the brakes sending the car down the hill.

Mammoth mutt was eating at a restaurant, unaware that Delilah placed explosives in the cellar, and when they were set off, the building collapsed.

Soon after, bull dog was taking a cruise on, which was going smoothly until Delilah sabotaged the ship, causing it to crash.

Finally, paw pooch was out for a walk on a rainy day, when he stepped near a puddle, Delilah cut an electric cable with her claw and it electrified the water.

However, since there was no evidence of her presence or sabotage, the other heroes believed they were accidents, in fact even the dead believed their deaths were accidents.

Well... Except one.

The only one that knew was Superdog, what happened was that Delilah was placing explosives a mine that had traces of kryptonite, and when Krypto arrived Delilah set of the explosives, and the boulders landed on him, but it didn't kill him, and Krypto saw Delilah grabbed a boulder and brought it down him, finishing the job.

When word got out, the remaining heroes were devastated, along with some of the villains.

after the funeral, Delilah went to another grave this time, it was Snooky's. Apparently during his banishment, he made amends with the supercat can club, he was even in a relationship with nikki, one of the members, but when he heard they were caught in the gas station fire, he was so depressed, so he took some arsenic and... Well, I think you know.

After her mourning period, she left the cemetery but when she left a strange sounding wind started up, it sounded like a whisper, like a friend telling his other friend a secret, or someone whispering to themselves, or a certain dog... telling the others.

One day, Delilah visited the place to visit Snooky's grave. But it was empty "where did he go?" She asked

"I'm over here"

Turning to where the voice came from, she saw Snooky, but he was different, all that time in the grave affected him. And Delilah was shocked to see him, rotting and decaying. "But, how?"

"it's Very simple Delilah" another voice said, to her horror she saw it was Superdog, "I told them what happened to me, and eventually we figured you had something to do with their deaths." "Wait, we!" Delilah said, and she found out what he meant when he saw the other members of the dog stars, each one more decayed than the last.

"You're to evil to live, Delilah" Krypto continued. "we can only rest when we know that criminals like you are off the streets.

Horrified, Delilah ran, but she tripped on right she though was a rock, but was actually a rotting paw reaching up to the sky, horrified she watched as the supercat can club came out of their graves, with one of the members holding on of her back legs, she can only watch and scream as the dead advanced on her.

by the next morning streaky arrived to plant flowers at Krypto's grave, but while he was there he noticed a grave that read,

Delilah

Criminal, murderer

R.I.P

Well delilah was really shocked, wasn't she. But you'll probably be more shocked by our next tale.
