Mordecai and Rigby fiercely pounded their thumbs on their controllers, letting forth no mercy.
"You're so going down dude!" Rigby said confidently as he cast a hex upon Mordecai's character.
"That's what you think, but truly, I am the master at this game!" Mordecai said, smiling before he used a potion ridding his character of the hex. He then began charging his energy. While Mordecai charged energy, Rigby started pounding on the idle sprite.
"Heh! Why would you start charging in the middle of a battle, Mordecai?" Rigby said as fistful after fistful of offensive attacks were repeatedly thrust upon Mordecai's charcter. Soon, the health bars read:
Rigby: 43/100. Mordecai: 12/100
Mordecai's rapidly decreased to six, then four, then two, then one…
ENERGY FULL!
The blue jay smiled as he tapped the "SpAtk" button, effectively activating a burst of energy that was strong enough to take away 50 HP…which was 7 more than he needed. Rigby watched in terror as his character died on the floor, and Mordecai's character looted him.
"I hated this game anyways." Rigby mumbled as he slammed his controller to the ground.
"Ha, whatever dude. Told you I was the master!" Mordecai said, flaunting his victory. Rigby held in his rage and left their small house, slamming the door behind him.
Muscle-Man waited for Starla at the snack bar. He only agreed to work it because she said she'd meet him there…no luck so far. Hi-5 ghost seemed bored as well.
"You know who else gets bored when their date doesn't show up?" Muscle-Man said, sighing.
"Uh…who?" Hi-5's responded, playing along.
Muscle Man then picked Hi-5 up and flung him into the wall, which the ghost effectively passed through.
"MY MOM! OOOHHH!" Muscle Man bellowed.
They waited a bit longer, until the silhouette of a girl appeared.
"Starla?" Hi-5 asked.
It was indeed Starla. But, something was off. Her skin was gray where it should have been a greenish color, her eyes faintly glowing red, and two small red dots on the left side of her neck. Muscle Man jumped out of the small snack bar and hugged his girlfriend.
"Starla! I knew you wouldn't stand me up!"
In response, 'Starla' leaned over and bit. A bit of blood spurted before the two separated, Muscle Man falling to the ground.
Hi-5 screamed and got away….
….
Two days had passed, Muscle Man still missing. Benson was waiting with a pink slip for when his missing employee returned, given that he thought that Muscle Man was just goofing off with Starla. Hi-5 plead his story, claiming that his friend had been bitten by a creature that resembled Starla. Nobody believed him. Not even a certain blue jay and raccoon. Defeated, Hi-5 decided to keep quiet for a while, seeing it a waste of energy not to.
Mordecai pounded on his controller, Rigby doing the same. Both were sweating, and red as tomatoes.
Rigby
HP: 82
MP:65
Mordecai:
HP:93
MP:11`
Mordecai looked at his MP count and restrained a gasp of horror. It wasn't long before he wouldn't be able to cast any more spells. Rigby pounded on his controller, before noticing that his MP was considerably low too.
Rigby
HP: 70
MP:5
Mordecai
HP:54
MP:7
Mordecai started using physical attacks, saving his magic points. Rigby found it harder to hang onto his health points as his blue jay friend would chisel them away. Rigby cast two more spells, and got satisfactory results. The two were proving to be quite a challenge for the other.
Rigby
HP: 39
MP: 0
Mordecai
HP:32
MP:7
Mordecai then cast a petrifying Hex, freezing Rigby's character. In the time given, the bird quickly started navigating through menu's and consuming MP potions, as well as charging energy. Rigby broke free in a few seconds, though Mordecai was still charging energy. Rigby laid blow after blow. Mordecai snapped his character out of the energy trance and started using physical attacks.
Rigby
HP:27
MP:0
Mordecai
HP:19
MP:15
The blue jay then slammed on his magic attacks, pelting Rigby, bringing the raccoons HP down to 12. Mordecai then suffered a fierce beating, not able to lay a blow as Rigby wouldn't even let Mordecai's character up. The blue jay cast another spell that brought the opponent off of him. Then he rushed forwards and launched forth his own arsenal, magic and melee. After a while, he reached 0 MP…
Rigby
HP:8
MP:0
Mordecai
HP:9
MP:0
The two continued their clash, until in the end, Mordecai won. The blue jay smiled.
"Yay-Yuh! 2-win streak!"
"Yeah, yeah. Rub it in, will ya?" Rigby said, getting angry.
"Well, it's getting late. Might as well go to bed." Mordecai said. Rigby agreed. The two headed to their bedrooms.
…
A strange knocking came at Hi-5's door. The ghost cautiously opened it and noticed nothing. Shrugging it off, the ghost went to close the door, when suddenly a shadow rushed in, tackling it.
"MUSCLE MAN?" Hi-5 gasped out in surprise, while trying to squirm out of his once friend's hold.
Muscle man had gray skin, faintly glowing red eyes, and two red dots on his neck, right where Starla bit him.
Hi-5 could only watch as Muscle Man's fangs came closer to him…closer…
BANG!
Hi-5 looked up quivering. Muscle Man was knocked unconscious. Standing behind the knocked out body was a female raccoon.
"My name is Eileen. I am sorry to say that your friend is a victim of my creation." The raccoon said, genuinely sad.
"Wh-what's going on?" Hi-5 asked, scared.
Eileen took a deep breath before explaining:
"Business at my work was slow. So, I decided to invent a new coffee. After all, why not have something exclusive to you? In the process, I eventually made a strange substance. However, before serving it, I accidently cut my elbow on one of my coffee-making majigs. A drop of blood was spilled into my substance. I decided to shrug it off. I decided to test my new coffee on Starla, and see if she liked it. If she did, then I had just done my work a huge favor! But when she drank it, something happened. She fell to the floor…I thought I killed her! So, I…I ran away. When Margaret entered the room with the corpse, well, I thought she wouldn't like me. But, she didn't react. And I noticed that the corpse was gone! So, I investigated…and well..I saw Starla heading towards the Snack Bar, where you and Muscle Man were working. But she looked like a monster! I was too afraid to approach, and I could only watch and Muscle Man was killed. B-But…he got back up. And then like Starla, he was a creature too! I had created a HORRIBLE MONSTER!" By the time Eileen finished, she was in tears. Hi-5, instead, smiled.
"Now the others will believe me! Come on, we have no time to waste!"
With that, the ghost promptly led Eileen to the main house, leaving Muscle Man behind.
