Chapter Ten: It All Ends With Splat
Keys Lime immediately sprang up, waving her brush at him. Boss, shocked, ran for cover.
"Help!" he shouted. But no one was there. He'd killed them all.
"You!" Keys screeched, tackling and pinning him. "YOU KILLED MY BROTHER!"
"What? I would never!?" He shouted innocently.
"You did. I know it was you." Keys shouted. "Why would he be dead up there?! HUH!?"
"Because, YOU killed him." Boss rants. Keys Lime stopped.
"No! Not true!"
"Yes!" Boss shoved Keys off and grabbed a Hero Shot lying nearby.
"How are you so good with that!?" Keys shouted.
"None of your business, maggot!" Boss replied. He took several long shots, just before running out of ink.
Keys Lime saw her chance… and took it.
Springing up, she swung her brush as hard and as fast as she could, covering Boss' whole body with lime ink.
"Tell me!" she shouted. "Now! Or it'll all end here!" Her brush was touching his cheek as he lay defeated on the ground.
"Alright, alright. I'll talk." he sat up a little. "You see, I'm going… TO KILL YOU!"
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
Keys was now severely wounded on the floor. She was bleeding badly and could hardly breathe.
"Rest in peace, Keys." Boss held his Hero Shot up, grinning with a wicked smile.
WHOOP!
THWAM!
Jet Lag was back! He had been sitting in yellow ink.
"Miss me?" he laughed, busting Boss with a streak of ink from his Booyah Bomb.
"Where did you come from!?" Boss shouted.
"Doesn't matter. Who are you? Tell me, now!" There was silence. Boss didn't want to tell, but knew he was toast against the Booyah Bomb.
"I'm…" he took his white coat off. Underneath was a Hero Suit. "… Agent 4."
Jet gasped. "Er… um… KEEP GOING!"
"I planned this whole thing out almost ten years ago, when I saved the Great Zapfish. No one appreciated it. They… they just shrugged. 'I could've done it, too. Seems easy enough.' That made me mad. After about three years of hearing this, I got fed up with it. It took me about a year, but I finally convinced the Octarians to team up with me in Octo Corporation. As the ring leader, I then realized if I wanted to destroy the city, the Agents would get in my way. So, I carefully crafted another plot. Pretend to die. It took a lot of acting to get the shadow to look realistic. I had my former best friend, before he died, pretend to stab me with a plastic Splatoween knife. Looked real enough. Then, after they believed I had been killed, the plan was to squidnap the Agents at that moment, but time ran out quickly and they got away. I thought it was all over…
"...until the Cap'n was dumb enough to send them crawling back. I squidnapped both and made Hunters out of them because someone got ahold of my plot folder, the one that Keys Lime saw. Agent 3 and 8 killed her two days ago. And you happened to live next door. That freaking screwed me. You… you ended all my plans. I thought that I would easily splat you but no-o. You had to foil my tentacles! Well, guess what! I hope Keys dies- once and for all!" Then, Agent 4 surrendered.
"BE QUIET!" Jet kicked him in the stomach. "Keys!" His once again poor, beat up sister lay on the ground, slowly dying. Sadly, Jet's ink color wasn't the same as Keys'.
"Where's your ink tank?" Jet panicked. "Where?! I can still save you!"
"Here." Keys slowly lifted it up to Jet.
BANG!
Shattered in pieces, it now lay on the ground, Key's ink dissolving away onto the tarp they dropped it on.
And when Jet looked over, the bomb was back on, and Agent 4 was at the top of the cliff.
"Have fun." he snickered. And then the roof closed. All that could be seen now was a time bomb, ticking away with 30 seconds left, in the darkness.
