Characters- Goombella Koops Flurrie Gus Lahla Parakarry Shy Guy Mario
Everyone stayed as still as they could so they wouldn't get shot.
"Okay, I demand that you tell us right now why you were working with Roy!" Flurrie yelled.
"Hmm, I suppose I owe it to you. Besides Roy wouldn't be able to tell it, the asshole is dead! Ha ha ha. Anyways, I hate story telling so I'm gonna keep this short. Roy was my ex-boyfriend and he came to Rogueport one day a little while back, asking me for a huge favor. I was appalled that he came all the way here to talk to me since I thought we would never talk again, but I decided to see what's up..." Lahla explained.
FLASHBACK
Roy and Lahla went away from the parlor and went near the alley by Peeka's shop.
"You've got 3 minutes, so hurry it up." Lahla said impatiently.
"I need you to help me do something VERY important and crucial. I want to test my strength and abilities but it would be almost impossible for me without your help. I want to commit a murder spree." Roy said.
Lahla shrieked, almost screamed. "YOU WHAT? WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU DO THAT FOR?"
"Do you remember almost 2 months ago in Mushroom City, there was a murder spree that involved that infamous urban legend called Teketeke and the news said that Teketeke was real and killed a bunch of people and was under the control of Tiny Kong?" Roy asked.
"Um, yeah I do. Why?" Lahla asked, getting nervous just by being near Roy now.
"Well I recently got a letter from Tiny Kong from prison and she convinced me to do a similar style of Teketeke killings. I was excited by the idea so I said yes to her. However, I feel like I should have a partner in crime for this. It would make this murder spree a lot more fun, wouldn't you say?" Roy smirked creepily.
"Do you really think I'm still gonna say yes? Screw off!" Lahla said in annoyance.
"I'll give you 100,000 coins if you help me." Roy proposed.
Lahla stood back in shock. "...100,000 COINS? How do you have so much money?"
"...That's a secret. I can't tell you right now. But I promise I'll give you the money. I know you're struggling with financial issues, Lahla. You talked about it all the time when we were together and said that you'll likely move back in with your parents in less than a month. Not to mention, you said business at the parlor was going down. Now, what happens if your business closes down, huh? And you have no money left and are forced to rely on your parents for part of your adult life? You've always talked about being independent, well this a big opportunity to do so." Roy explained.
Lahla thought long and hard about all of what he just said. The pressure was getting to be way too much and she felt like she was gonna faint.
"...200,000 coins and I'll do it." Lahla stated. Roy sighed.
"Fine. I'll have to pull some strings but I'll likely get 200,000 coins just for you. Thank you for agreeing to do this." Roy said. Lahla tried not to look at him.
"Whatever. Does this mean I'll have to do some killing as well?" She asked.
"Maybe, maybe not. We'll discuss our plans tomorrow okay? And I'll even bring the money with me to prove that I'm not lying. I'll see you tomorrow." Roy said and left the alley with a big smirk on his face.
Lahla sighed as she started having second thoughts about this. But she was in desperate need of money though.
END FLASHBACK
"So this is all about greed, then? You're pathetic. I can't believe you were manipulated so easily." Goombella said.
"But wait, since Roy is dead now, why do you still wanna kill people? It makes no sense! You could've just as easily pretended everything with Roy never happened and go on living your life!" Mario said.
"I thought about that...but then, I decided to continue this spree by myself. Roy was too over-confident in himself, which got him killed. I'm a boo, I could do everything that Roy did 10 times easier and quicker. But I wasn't like this until I saw him killing all these people and him continously talking to me about it. Killing those three girls seemed like sooo much fun and now I just can't stop." Lahla laughed.
"Wait a second, those three girls? So you're telling me that you didn't kill anyone else before them?" Parakarry said.
"Nope. I just distracted the victims whenever it was necessary so they would be caught off guard when Roy would kill them." Lahla said.
FLASHBACK
"Alright Lahla, here's what I want you to do, go in to the alley and make a bunch of noise so that the police guy can be distracted and then I'll go in for the kill. Understand?" Roy ordered.
"Yeah yeah, sure. Let's just get this overwith." Lahla quickly replied and rolled her eyes.
"Hey! Don't get smart with me. Remember those 200,000 coins I promised you? That could easily all go down the drain if you turn out to be no help." Roy threatened.
Lahla nodded her head and kept her frustration within herself.
"...Hey Roy, what happens if you get killed? Then what should I do?" She asked.
"If I DO get killed by some miniscule chance, then I want you to continue on the murder spree. You have great potential, Lahla. Don't doubt yourself for one second." Roy responded.
"Okay then. But what about the money then? Where will I find it if you die?"
"Sigh...it's too early to tell you this, but I suppose now is a better time. It's in Rogueport Sewers, in the room where the Thousand Year Door is. It's hidden in a secret space in there, but I won't tell you exactly where it is just in case you blow me off. Got it?"
"Yeah, I understand. Thanks for telling me."
END FLASHBACK
"You do realize there's no way you can get away with this, right? Your DNA would be all over the knife that you stabbed Toadiko with! The police would catch you!" Koops said.
"Shut up. I'll take care of it later. Now, who wants to die first? I'm thinking I'll choose Mario first, since he seems like the biggest threat out of all you guys." Lahla said as she pointed the gun at him.
Flurrie suddenly screamed. "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?" She pointed behind Lahla.
"Huh?" Lahla jumped around to see what Flurrie was screaming at.
But there was nothing there.
"OWWWWW!" Lahla screamed as she was knocked to the ground by none other than Koops' shell attack.
"NOW NOW NOW! DO IT NOW!" Goombella screamed to Flurrie.
Flurrie, in extreme panic, tried to light the rag on fire but the lighter wouldn't go on.
"DAMNIT! WHY ISN'T THIS THING WORKING?" Flurrie yelled.
"BASTARD!" Lahla screamed and shot Koops in the chest.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Shy Guy yelled.
"TAKE THIS!" Mario yelled as he did his infamous leap move and kicked Lahla right in the face. He then tackled her to the ground.
"GET THE HELL OFF OF ME!" Lahla screamed as she started to smack Mario in the face repeatedly.
Mario used all his might to counter back and started pushing his thumbs into Lahla's eyes.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" She screamed in pain. She then used all of her strength that she could, got her gun, and shot Mario as well.
Mario rolled over to the ground and moaned in pain.
"SHIT!" Goombella screamed again and started to cry.
"DIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE!" Lahla screamed as she got up and shot bullets like crazy while she charged at everyone else.
Everyone else screamed and ducked while Goombella ran back to Central Rogueport.
"Yes!" Flurrie said as she successfully got the rag lit.
She threw the fire bottle as fast and hard as she could and it perfectly hit Lahla, setting on fire.
Lahla screamed as she stumbled and ran all over the place, setting everything in her path on fire too. About a minute later, and she finally fell down and eventually died.
"Oh my gosh...you did it! YOU DID IT! YOU ARE OUR SAVIOR!" Parakarry cheered and hugged Flurrie.
"Well, what can I say? A little but of luck was on my side." Flurrie said in relief.
"I like how she said that Roy was too over-confident in killing everyone, and yet that girl revealed herself to us as a killer, thinking that she could kill us all and get away with everything. She obviously isn't as smart as she thinks she is." Shy Guy said, staring at the burning body of Lahla.
"Koops...?" Flurrie rushed over to him. She gasped as she blood come out from his chest and mouth.
"Oh no..." Parakarry also gasped.
Koops coughed up blood as he was barely breathing.
"I'm...so...sorry..." Koops said in a whisper as tears fell down his face.
"No no! What are you sorry for? You didn't do anything wrong!" Flurrie said and also started to cry as well.
"Tell my...dad that...I love him..." Koops said as he coughed up more blood.
"Yes. I will. I promise." Flurrie nodded her head, wiping tears from her eyes.
Koops' eyes shut and his breathing stopped. He was now dead.
"NO!" Flurrie screamed and started to cry.
"Poor guy...if it wasn't for that awful excuse of a being, he would still be alive by now. Sigh...maybe agreeing to do this WAS a bad idea." Parakarry said.
"Mario?" Shy Guy said as he walked over to him. Mario was still breathing.
"Hey guys! I...think Mario's still alive...kind of..." Shy Guy said. Parakarry and Flurrie ran over to Mario.
"No! Not Mario too! YOU CAN'T DIE ON US!" Parakarry freaked out.
Mario opened his eyes.
"Is she dead?" He asked.
"Huh?" They all said at the same time.
"Um...yes..." Shy Guy answered, confused at how Mario doesn't even look like he's hurt.
"Perfect! Sorry if I freaked you all out. I had to play dead in order to make her not kill me for real." Mario said as he easily stood up.
"Wait a second! How are you alive? You were shot!" Shy Guy said.
"I have a bullet proof vest on. Kylie gave it to me while we were on the boat ride here. Thank the stars that she did!" Mario said.
"Good. I was about to cry even more tears for a second there." Flurrie said.
"So...Koops? He's...gone, I presume?" Mario asked, looking at the body.
"Unfortunately." Parakarry answered.
Mario sighed. "Damnit. I really wanted to kill her myself. But...whatever, she's dead and it's all over with. And hey, where is Goombella at?" Mario asked.
"Not sure. I guess she just ran off." Shy Guy answered.
Goombella was running for her life through Central Rogueport and was about to enter the eastside until she realized that no one was chasing her.
"...Oh. I guess this means either they're all dead or Lahla is dead. Only one way to find out..." She said as she started to head back.
"OHHHHHH!" Goombella suddenly screamed in pain as she felt a sharp pain in her back. She turned her head around and screamed at who it was.
"G-GUS?"
EOC.
Both of the killers are officially dead, but we've still got one other problem to take care of. Next chapter will be the last chapter. Please review.
