CHAPTER 13: THE FAKER
Dedede left alone after his clubs with Tuff, Lololo, and Adeleine. He still didn't tell Adeleine how he felt. He went to the gym and saw Marx shooting hoops into the basket with amazing kicks. Marx seemed really good at using his feet for sports.
Marx saw Dedede and waved with his hat. He wiped his sweat onto his school jersey. "Did anyone else die today?" he asked his little brother.
"Not that I know of…" said Dedede to Marx. "But we did find a mysterious note in my boy Knuckle Joe's locker." Dedede took out the note from his backpack. "I told him I'd hold onto it and he went home 'casue he wasn't feeling good."
"I hope you didn't tell him we were meeting today… I don't want any suspects to know about this."
"Dedede gasped. Do you think Knuckle Joe is a suspect?" "No but we can't be rash about this kind of thing. This is school war, Dedede." Marx studied the note. "It's a threat, but it doesn't look like its from an actual murderer…"
"What do you mean," Dedede asked confused.
"This looks pretty mediocre compared to the actual crimes. I think some edgelord on school is trying to take the credit."
"What an awful thing to honour. This murderer is a huge criminal!" said Dedede.
"I know. I think we need to stop by Magolor's plae to get more insight, since he's been through this kind of stuff before."
So the two went to Magolor's dumpster and showed him the note. Magolor laughed at the serious notion that some angsty teen faker was taking the murderer's credit. He laughed because he was a very dangerous kid himself.
"Do you think this is an empty threat?" asked Marx.
"Of course, but we can't be certain unless we catch both perpetrators." Said Magolor.
Dedede and Marx agreed and they went with Magolor to the gym and plotted a scheming trap.
Later that night, the trap was set, Marx decided to hang back with Dedede and Magolor was live bait because he didn't care if he got caugt by the murderer. He hated his life anyway.
Right when Dedede and Marx almost fell asleep, they heard Magolor shout. They jumped out from hiding and saw Magolor holding another student by the head. It was Taranza.
"Looks like we caught our faker!" laughed Magolor and he piledrove the geek into the floor.
"Lemme go, yyou freaks"! growled Taranza.
"Taranza, did you write this letter?" asked Dedede holding the note up for taranza yo see.
Taranza spat webs on Dedede's face and laughed. "I didn't do it!"
"What a liar. I can see you sweating so much," said Magolor. He punched him in the gut and Taranza did purplish blood out his mouth.
"Fine! I'll admit it was me, but I only did it because I got threatened by the murderer," said Taranza.
This was shocking news to Dedede, Magolor, and Marx. "Then who is the real murderer?" asked Dedede.
"I don't know, but I have a hunch. It's not safe for me to tell so meet me at the junkyard tomorrow after school and I'lltell you everything!" said Taranza.
