Chapter 2: Gantu's Demise

Gantu's Ship

The computer in began to beep continuously as 625 began making yet another sandwich. He already had an enormous supply, so much so that it looked like New York City, and he was still making more. You name it, it was there. After a few seconds, he began to get annoyed with the machine.

"Okay, okay. I'm coming," he said as he scooted out of the chair and plopped on the floor. He waddled over to the computer and pressed the green button at the base of the electronic device.

"Warning! Experiment 086 activated. Primary function: Grotesque serial killer," the computer said in its boring, electronic voice. 625 made a shocked face. He never would have dreamed that Jumba would make a serial killing experiment. He began to turn away and head towards Gantu's bathroom, but he still kept his eyes glued to the computer, shell shocked as to what he had heard.

The Bathroom

The giant shark-like alien was enjoying a bubble bath in his tub. He thought it was almost odd as to how a simple little thing could turn out to be so relaxing. He did it whenever he could, in fact. In his free time, after a long trip from the store to get his lazy sidekick sandwich supplies, or to calm himself down after one of Hamsterveil's verbal abuse sessions. But he found that the best time to take a bath, was right after he got back from failing to capture an experiment. He began to slowly sink his head into the soapy water when there was a sudden loud banging at the door. Since this was the last thing he expected, his natural reaction was jolting up so fast that he literally flew out of the tub and hit his head on the ceiling. The pink bath cap didn't do much to protect his head.

"OW! BLITZNACK!!!" he shouted while rubbing his head.

"Hey Gant, are you in there?" 625 asked whilst pounding on the door some more. Grabbing a pink towel, Gantu stepped out of the tub and headed towards the door with an angry look on his face while he wrapped the towel around his waist. He yanked the door open and scowled down at 625, his face showing immense rage.

"This better be good you little trog!" Gantu shouted at him. 625 didn't even flinch.

"Another experiment's been activated cod-breath. Ya better go get it before Dr. H starts his daily threatening," 625 informed him before he went back to his sandwiches. Gantu walked over to the machine and pressed the button so that the computer would repeat its message again.

"Experiment 086 activated. Primary function: Grotesque serial killer," the computer repeated itself. Gantu stood up straight and smiled at the sound of this.

"A serial killing experiment! Hamsterveil will surely pay a hearty bounty for this one!" Gantu proclaimed to no one in particular as he went to his room to change into his usual uniform.

"Yeah. Let's just hope that the little Earth girl and 626 don't get to it first," 625 replied rather nonchalantly. Gantu came out in his suit, attaching his belt with blaster around his waist.

"You'll see. When I get back with that experiment, Hamsterveil will praise me for once," the large shark-like alien said as he walked over to the elevator. 625 smiled.

"But the occasional times he does catch an experiment, Dr. H usually verbally abuses him anyway," 625 stated under his breath.

"I heard that!" Gantu called as the elevator went down the shaft.

In Town

'What a pathetic race, hiding inside their homes just because of a little rain. Sad and pathetic,' 086 thought to himself. He had wandered around five blocks and still hadn't seen a human up close. The first one he saw, would be his first victim on this new planet. Suddenly, he heard a sound to his right. He snapped his head in that general direction. It was the sound of a doorknob rattling, signaling that a human was about to come out. Not wanting his pray to see him right away, he dashed to his left across the street and into the foliage. He began to eye the door from there, and watched was a young, teenage human female came out of the door. She turned back for a second and said something in a bizarre language.

"I have to go now John. I'll see you tomorrow. And you still own me for last night!" she said before closing the door and walking down the street. 086 did some mental research on this young woman, finding out everything about her.

'Her name is Amy, she is 17 years old, her dad's in jail, her mom ran of to get remarried, she's a...hooker, the language she speaks is called English, and she lives by herself. Hmm,' 086 thought.

"On Turo, someone with a life that crappy would get the luxury of death at the hands of a priest. Well, I'm no holy man, but I'll put her out of her misery," 086 said with an evil smirk and a devious tone. After she turned the corner and ran down the street to try and avoid getting wet, 086 ran out of the bushes, eager to catch up with her and have his fun. He didn't get too far, as he was suddenly bound up into a tight ball, and he couldn't see a thing. It took him a few seconds to get over the shock and relize that he was in a net. Now thoroughly angry, he used his claws to cut out of the net and break free. As soon as he was out and on his feet again, he heard a deep, threatening voice.

"Don't move trog," it said. 086 looked to his right to see a huge shark-like alien pointing a blaster at his head.

'How dare he interrupt me from my hunt! Well, it seems that I will just have to wait on it, and deal with him first,' 086 said to himself.

"I am-" Gantu said before he was cut off by 086.

"Gantu. Former Captain of the Galactic Alliance," 086 said with a smirk whilst folding his arms over his chest, bowing his head to the side, and closing his eye. He looked up at the giant alien out of the corner of his eye to see his mouth open and his eyes wide.

"How did you know that?" Gantu asked awestruck, lowering his blaster. 086 returned his head to the position it was in before.

"I know everything," he slowly stated. Gantu stared at him for a little while longer before shaking his head and turning his face into its usual angry look and raising his gun at the creature again.

"It doesn't matter how much you claim you know. You are an experiment, and you are coming with me!" Gantu said before firing at the black experment. 086 slightly raised his head and fully opened his eyes. Angry eyes, that is. He jumped up into the air, doing a back flip before gravity grabbed hold of him and he fell back onto the ground. He landed on his feet, and looked at Gantu with angry eyes. The gargantuan alien shot at 086 a few more times, each blast being gracefully dodged with flips and spins. After those shots had been dodged, 086 bent his knees, and put his fists out in front of him; one facing up, one facing down. The spot on his head began to glow a bright white, and a light in the form of an axe appeared in his outstretched fists. The light on his head faded, as did the light in his hands, revealing an solid, double edged axe, with a bright silver handle and diamond blades. His mouth formed an evil smile, one which made Gantu's facial expression one of pure terror. He began shooting at the experiment continuously, but it was in vain. 086 either dodged the shots, or deflected them with his axe. When he finally reached the giant alien, he cut the blaster he was holding in half with a powerful swing. Gantu dropped what remained of his gun, and slowly backed away.

"Now, now. I'm sure that we can come to an understanding," Gantu said nervously as 086 slowly began to walk after him, that evil smile still plastered onto his face. Gantu turned to run, but as he turned around, he saw 086 right in front of him, axe raised to the right of him, ready to make a horizontal slash at the former captain.

"How did you-" he was cut off yet again by 086 planting one blade of his axe into Gantu's side. Gantu was muted. He wanted to scream, but he couldn't. The pain was too great. He looked down at his side to see a river of red blood flowing from the wound. When 086 removed his axe, Gantu feel to his knees, and then was no sooner struck again, right in the chest. 086 had done a lunging motion, sinking the tops of both of the blades into Gantu's chest area. Blood gushed out of the fresh wound after the axe was removed from this location on the former captain's body. Gantu feel again, onto his hands. He was now on his hands and knees, blood flowing out of his mouth. He was breathing heavily, and he suddenly stopped when he felt a blade of the axe getting brought down hard into his back. He could feel the blood oozing out of the new wound on his back, and he collapsed onto the ground as soon as the axe was removed. He wasn't dead, but he was close to being so. He felt a paw under his chin, and his head was forced up, making him look into the eyes of his killer.

"Fool! You know not of whom you deal with! My name is Shadow! I am the Son of the Devil! King of Death! Master of the Blade! I can not be killed that easily!" he shouted at Gantu. His face then slowly turned to one of mock pity.

"Oh. I think the wittle shark-wike-awien is in pain," Shadow said in a baby tone as he made his axe disappear in a flash of white light. He then put his long claws to the side of Gantu's head, one paw on one side, and the other on the other side.

"Don't worry. This will end it," Shadow said in mock reassurance, before he thrust his claws into the former captains head. Gantu's eyes went widen, and his mouth dropped lower at the feel of this. He could feel the claws inside his brain, blood dripping from the eight new holes in his head. With one strong pull, Shadow ripped Gantu's head right off of his body. Blood showered the ground as the head got ripped off, and a river of blood was forming out of the neck stump. Shadow looked his victim in the eye one last time, and softly spoke to him before he died.

"Look for me in hell, my friend," Shadow said as he removed his claws from Gantu's head, leaving it and the body it was once attached to on the ground.

'It won't take long for maggots and ants to start their feast on this new corpse,' Shadow thought to himself as he looked at his work one last time before turning onto the street that he saw Amy walk down.

"Now for you, my little pet," Shadow stated to no one in particular as he slowly walked down the street that he saw Amy run down, eager to start what he had not been able to a few seconds before.
