Chapter 26: Rich Retaliations
A few days later...
At a store called Auto Bikes, the store owner is having a chat with a wolf greaser and Louie is also there looking at some bikes. "I'm here because I want to find a suitable upgrade for my old one to go faster and skid better without having to burn rubber." Louie thought to himself when the door opened and Chadwick accompanied by 2 preppies named Conklin and Sheldon entered the store. "Well, well, well look at this chaps. A bunch of poor class people who has career aspects to work or run low paying stores like this." Chadwick spoke first drawing the attention of the greaser. "Fabulous! I love it when people know their place in their pathetic lives!" Conklin exclaimed. "Ha! Good one!" Sheldon agreed as the greaser was pissed. "Well your place in life is my stinking toilet! You ungrateful trust fund retards!"
"Oh Ricardo Pucino. Does your family even have functional flushing toilets in your home? I bet they're too poor to have one. Even if they do, they can't even afford a plumber to fix it." Conklin replied with a smug. "You scumbag! I swear I'll beat the shit out of you soon!" Ricardo threatened him as Louie who was now checking his phone ignored the commotion. Then, "Nice phone..." Sheldon noticed from a distance. He walked quietly to Louie. "Hey nice phone. Where did you get it from?" Louie looked up upon hearing someone speak to him but the next it happened. "FWIP!"
"HEY! Give that back!" Louie ran after the trio who got their hands on his phone leaving Ricardo surprised.
Outside...
"Where did they go..." Louie looked around and then, "Hey kid. You need some help handling those losers?" From behind, Ricardo ran up to him. "What do you have in mind?" Louie asked. "Those trust fund turds have this habit of stealing anyone's belongings." Ricardo began. "And let guess. You know where they kept the stolen belongings?" Louie asked. "Indeed." Ricardo replied smiling.
Soon enough...
"Duckburg Beach. Not much people out there but look over there." Louie looked to see a beach house that Ricardo was pointing. "So this one of the rich kids' hangouts!" He exclaimed. "That's right. Storming time!" Ricardo declared as he and Louie ran to the place.
Inside, "That phone is so expensive! How is that poor trash able to get one?" A preppy named Gordy asked. Then, "Guys! We got company!" Sheldon called out as outside before Louie and Ricardo can make their move, 6 preppies led by Sheldon and Conklin came out for a fight!
"You get your phone, I'll kick their faces hard!" Ricardo told Louie as he jump kick a preppy on his guts and after that, a low roundhouse kick on another. Louie engaged Gordy and knee dropped onto his nuts. "Ughhh! That was dirty!" Gordy groaned. "More like dirty fighting." Louie replied as he jabbed a preppy on his right without looking. 2 minutes later, 5 out of 6 got wrecked. "Davian! Winston! Get some more chaps over here!" Sheldon ordered as on the sand, "Crap! They're getting more reinforcements!" Ricardo exclaimed as 8 more preppies emerged. Louie gut slugged one hard and uppercut another and did a 3-hit combo attack on another one. He then finished him by grabbing his head and bringing it onto his knee for a crushing blow. Ricardo on the other also played dirty. He took out a slingshot and shot a stone at Winston's head. "OW! That's not fair!"
"Says the trust fund turd that deals shit unfairly!" Ricardo charged, hooked and kicked him down. The fight goes on as Louie wrecked another 2 and then, "You stole my phone!" Sheldon smirked. "Yeah right! Says the phony chap that once talked shit about my mom being a bitch and for bearing a son of a btich! I am so doubled offended by this!" Sheldon charged at Louie as they clashed with their fists. Ricardo on the other hand wrecked the remaining preppies until he saw the fight between Louie and Sheldon. Both of them punched and dodged about as, "Once I waste you, I'll either sell your phone for money or destroy it in whatever way I can think of!"
"No one...no one...NO ONE TOUCHES MY PHONE!" Louie pounced on Sheldon, punched his face 5 times and kneed him on the nuts. "Now where is it?"
"Inside the...beach house!" Sheldon passed out as Louie and Ricardo entered the beach house. There inside, "All they have is a bar, arcade machines and a TV room." Ricardo exclaimed. "Hey what about that room over there?" Louie asked. They went to it opening the door and, "A chest full of stolen goods!" Louie exclaimed as Ricardo opened it and, "This is yours right?"
"Oh thank goodness it's still in one piece!" Louie took it as Ricardo dug through and, "Score! He found some loose cash and food coupons so he kept them for himself. After that, they left the beach house as, "Thanks for helping me out there. Your kicks sure are badass!" Louie thanked Ricardo. "No problem. Glad I joined the Muay Thai Kickboxing Club in school!" Ricardo replied as, "Anyway, I know you're Louie Duck and I'm Ricardo Pucino."
"Yeah. You're from the Greasers Clique are you?" Louie asked. "Yeah. You can see my denim jacket I'm wearing." Ricardo replied as, "I should repay you for helping me. Pizza House?"
"Hell yeah! Let's get some Italian food because one, I'm from Italy and two, pizza's my no.1 favourite food!" Ricardo cheered as they headed to the pizza place.
The next day...
"I did not expect those trust fund turds to challenge me! To provoke me! Alright if they think they can get rid of me so easily, I'll give them a taste of their own medicine!" Louie thought to himself as he and his brothers and friends entered the school grounds. "Good thing Ricardo aided me. I may find some use in him one day."
The gang went inside the building and headed to their lockers. There, Louie opened his and saw a few notes. He read them one by one. "Is that all they got?" He thought shaking his head as he crumbled them up and threw them away. "They really need to work their English if they think threatening me is good enough for them." He thought again as he and Lena headed to class.
Some time later...
"We're gonna check out energy today class. One of my favourite topics and easy to learn if your ears are open." The physics teacher announced as the class sat up straight and a presentation has begun via powerpoint as the first slide shows the definition of energy and it's main factor.
In another class, Dewey, Webby and Gosalyn were suppose to have history but as usual, their teacher ain't around so self study it is. Gosalyn was already doing that and chewing gum while reading her math textbook but seeing the no interaction between those 2 worried her somehow.
And then, biology is on as Louie and Lena were in the middle of a lecture in which the lesson for today is about plants. "When is this going to end?" Lena whispered. "Beats me. I'm so tired of listening to the lecture about fish and marine life." Louie groaned to himself when the bell rang. "YAY!" The students cheered running out. Louie and Lena excitedly join in when, "Louie?"
"Uh...yeah Dr Aldo?"
"Can you see me after school? I need some aid for something. Meet me at the bio lab in the upper levels." Mr Aldo replied. "Okay, I'll see you then." Louie as he and Lena left their homeroom.
After school...
As requested, Louie headed to the bio lab. When he arrived, he saw Mr Aldo examining a large plant. "Magnificent isn't it Louie? A Dionaea muscipula. A rare and venus flytrap and why rare because it is large in structure to the point the carnivorous plants all grew together like family."
"Real nice Dr Aldo."
"But, there is one boy in the school. Darby Carrington. Third year student and it was known to me that his father bought a venus flytrap which is nicer and a larger than me. His father is not a nice duck. Darby is not a nice boy. Like father like son, the plant is kept in the Carrington Frat House to belittle me over their rare collection of exotic and unique plants." Dr Aldo took a deep breath and, "There are 2 signs in biology. Life and death. Do I make myself clear?"
"Crystal clear Dr Aldo. Kill the plant. I'll get to it." Louie then got ready to leave when, "But to safeguard your life, you must do it discreetly." Dr Aldo reminded him. "I'll take your word for it then." Louie then left the lab as, "And I know how to do it with money and style."
Soon enough...
The Carrington Frat House. The main turf for the Preppies. Some say it's considered home to them as often times, they came out of this house to attend school and sometimes go home or use the house for the night. And in front of the building, Louie took a step towards the front door. He's wearing the colours but wore a cap and sunglasses to hide his identity from them. Taking a deep breath, he took a step in for the first time.
Inside, he found himself in the hallway but there's also a doorway through and a third year groundhog student is on guard. "You look new here. Do I know you?" He asked. Louie said about but swallow hard. The preppy examined him for a moment. Then, "Ah screw it. Have fun. The TV room is right in front of you to watch movies or play video games. On your left, a door will lead you to an indoor swimming pool with a Jacuzzi. On the second level by going up the staircase to your right and opening the door to it, you'll find a door to the pool room to play snooker or other cue sports on your left and on your right are the bedrooms and bathrooms. Right in the centre are where we play poker and gamble our money. And the last level has a greenhouse where the most rare and exotic plants are placed in and taken care of. One more thing, all levels have vending machines to buy snacks and drinks at your own leisure."
"Thanks." Louie thanked him as he stepped in. The TV room is large as several preppies are on the couch watching a movie and eating chips from chip bags. Behind them, Louie can see a recovered Gordy and a donkey preppy named James having a chat.
"You're saying that when summer comes, you'll be spending some time helping your dad in his job?" James asked. "Of course. My dad's a lawyer and I would like to learn more about his job while helping him out." Gordy replied. "Sounds like a waste of time." James replied. "It'll be worth when one day, I hope I can study at law school." Gordy replied as Louie passed by and headed upstairs.
When he reached the second level, he saw several preppies gambling through poker cards. "So much betting going on." Louie thought as he passed by when, "Hey chap! Care for a game of blackjack with us?" A hound preppy asked nicely. "Thanks. Another time." Louie replied as they began the game and he went outside. There, "Found the stairs leading to the last level. Wow, I can see the school from here too!" He looked to his right and saw 3 preppies having a discussion. No matter, Louie made his way up and soon found the greenhouse. "Lots of plants I see." Louie thought as he entered the place and further away and right at the centre at the far end is the plant. "Now how do I exterminate this green, piece of vine shit?" Louie wondered when he saw a chemical sprayer. "Time to kill some weeds!" Wielding it, Louie sprayed poison all over the plant. It started to shrivel, wilt and rot from the poison. The more poison it takes, the faster it's being reduced to a contaminated, unnatural specimen and soon enough, it was completely exterminated. "I was never good at gardening." said Louie with a smile.
All of a sudden, the glass door opened. "You know, I could have sworn I heard a plant shriek or smell-HEY! You there! How dare you destroyed one of our plants!" The same 3 preppies Louie encountered just now charged towards him enraged. "Alright that's it! I've overstayed and leaving now!" said Louie as he jabbed a cat preppy and hooked him. He then threw the sprayer onto the other on the body and then, uppercut him. The last one which is a monkey preppy however ran off as, "He's getting the others!" Louie ran after him but too late as at the gambling area, "Guys! We got an imposter heading to us and he killed one of the plants in the greenhouse! Make sure he does not escape!" The monkey preppy told his peers as all put their money and cards aside and got ready as Louie charged punch him. Seeing this, all the preppies charged at him as for the next several minutes, it was complete pandemonium. Tables and chairs were broken into splinters, poker chips and money were scattered all over the room and drinks were spilled all over the floor as Louie kneed the last preppy down. Then, the door to the staircase opened and, "I heard so much racketeering. What the fuck is-OH SHIT!" Those from the TV room came up to investigate and saw the mess. "They still wanna play!" Louie thought as they charged to him.
It didn't take long but all were wrecked as well. "All I gotta do is-" Louie then saw the groundhog approaching him while cracking his knuckles. "You had trespassed and defiled our home! When I beat you to a pulp, you'll answer to Darby!"
"Sorry, Darby ain't seeing me today and not any day!" The 2 clashed with boxing skills. Their level is the same and their skill is nearly equal but long story short, Louie took him down and escaped Carrington Frat House alive and unspoiled.
As he left the place and headed back to the school, he ran into, "The plant is no more?"
"Wilted." Louie told Dr Aldo. "Most satisfying." He placed 30 dollars on Louie's hand and drove home via car. "Alright! This calls for a celebration! Snack time at In-N-Owl Burger!" Yup, he rode his bike to the joint, ordered 2 animal style French fries with soda and had a good snack.
Later on...
Louie was satisfied with the snack he had as he left the restaurant when he saw a commotion outside the supermarket.
There, Russell is seen threatening a red hummingbird retailer by lifting him up and scaring him. "You think I'm dumb and stupid huh?" He asked while threatening him "N-No!" He replied
"Then who's dumb and stupid?"
"I'm dumb! I'm dumb! I'm dumb and stupid! Ah! hey kid, help me out will you?" Already, Louie is heading to them as, "Easy Russell. Put him down and don't cripple him okay?" Immediately, Russell obeyed and put the retailer down as he ran to Louie. "Thanks kid. Geez, that dumb boar sure is strong!"
"DUMB!?" An angry Russell approached them as, "Whoa Russell! Calm down and let me sort this out!" Louie ordered. He complied as, "Now listen to me because I'm saying it for once only, do not insult this big guy with anything because one little spark is enough to send any individual to the hospital either broken, crippled or disabled and it's all in one fatal blow from this big guy. You understand? Capisce?" Louie stated seriously.
"Y-Yeah!" The retailer understood as he looked at Louie. "Anyway, how did the eggs go? I remember I attended to you when you bought a carton."
"Well it didn't go exactly as expected but lesson learnt, never trust a rich kid to believe in false lies easily." Louie replied. "Too bad. Wait, was it that jerk Todd?" The retailer asked and revealed something. "You know, his parents are at the party at my boss's house right now. If you want some payback, now would be the good time."
"Yeah. Perfect idea...Mr Pang. I guess I'll get some more eggs for that." Louie replied and even read his name from his name tag. "Ah yes! I'll get them ready and give you a 50 percent off for the eggs!" Mr Pang stated. "No need for that. I'll still pay you at the fixed price." Louie replied as Mr Pang went to get the eggs ready. And then, "Now that you're here Russell, gather your boys. We got a house call to make."
"Okay! Russell text boys to join the fun!" Russell took out his phone and texted his cronies.
Several minutes later, Davis, Ethan, Gurney, Trench, Trey, Wade, Buster, Horace, Gordon and Malcolm arrived via bikes as Louie is waiting for them and he has 2 bags full of cartons of eggs. "What's the plan? Could use some action." Gordon spoke first. "I'll explain when we get there. On your bikes, let's go." Louie ordered as he handed Russell one of the bags as all got on their bikes and rode off.
A while later...
The 12 boys reached Todd's house. Leaving their bikes, they entered in as, "The gates's been left open somehow. Now here's the plan. We split into 2 groups. One group goes with me and we'll pelt the eggs on the house. The other group will follow Russell and if anyone comes out, you know what to do." Louie briefed the group.
"Crush! Kill! Destroy!" Russell answered as Ethan, Gurney, Buster, Gordon and Malcolm joined him. The rest joined Louie as he handed them 2 cartons of eggs each. "We'll start on the right side, back, other side and front. Once done, all of us will bail before they can even react." Louie told his group. All got the message as Louie and his group went to the right side while Russell and those under him patrolled the area in case any preppy comes out to stop them. Back to Louie's group, "Fire!"
"CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!"
Some eggs crack onto the walls and others through the open windows. Inside, Todd and his peers are having a party of their own when the eggs came splattering in. "Oh no! My bed! MY precious bed! Robert, Oliver, go out and find those miscreants now!" Todd ordered as they left the house via backdoor but, "Now!" Russell and his group made their move and wrecked them. Louie and his group soon showed up at the backyard as a barrage of eggs pelted the house outside and inside. "Oh no! My dad's stone dragon staute! Enrique, Gregor, move and find those impudent dickshits now!" Todd ordered as another 2 preppies used the backdoor and Russell his group wrecked them. Likewise, the same results took place on the next side of the house and finally after wrecking the next 2 preppies, "One more and we're done." Louie thoguht as already, he and his group used most of their eggs and, "Give it all you got boys." He told them. "I am so enjoying this!" Trench exclaimed as they opened fired.
"CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!"
"That does it! Everyone out now!" Todd ordered as all went out including him but they found no one around the place and, "Todd, I think you need to look at your house." A preppy named Henderson stated. Todd took a look and, "Oh shit. My parents are gonna kill me!" He whimpered in fear.
Back at the streets, "Dudes, that was fun!" Ethan exclaimed. "Eggs and wrecking made my mood positive!" Gurney exclaimed as Louie gathered all of them. "Nice job all of you. Now lay low and go home. The rich kids may not rest and will start hunting us probably."
"Good point. You heard him, we'll meet tomorrow at school!" Davis told the bullies and they got the message as they got on their bikes and went their way. "Russell go home and watch wrestling tonight."
"Alright Russell. Enjoy." Louie gave him a fist bump and they went home separately.
They struck first, he struck back and it resulted in lots and lots of property damage. This is a major start. Will Louie be able to deal with the rich kids for good? Next chapter is gonna answer everything! Woo-hoo!
