Chapter 31: I'm a Monster (Season 1 Finale Part.1)
A/n: I'd Like to give a special shoutout to PuzzleMaster1998, Warhorse, Deamion, Nagrme2702, Desmond bot, Kman134, Reibenach, Jedssm, KRUSA1, and RustyPete12 for giving me enough inspiration to keep this story going and to make it better and for being totally rad dudes or girls.
Also I'm gonna be answering some questions that some of you may be wondering.
1. Does Da Vinci have a crush on Aaron?
Answer: Yes she does, but Aaron is completely clueless about her feelings towards him and obviously isn't catching on with the way shes been acting towards him lately. I'll have a chapter about this soon in Volume/Season 2 that'll touch more on this hopefully.
2. Will Aaron and Anna have more interactions with the other characters besides the Dalmatians?
Answer: Yes! Most definitely. I'm trying to study all of the other characters in the 101 Dalmatian Street universe like Fergus, Roxy, Hansel, and what kind of dialogue and interactions they would have with Aaron and Anna. If you guys have any ideas I'm all ears.
3. Is there some sort of chemistry between Anna and DJ?
Answer: Yep. They both have feelings for each other, but they've yet to express those feelings truly to each other. I've gotta make a chapter where they have their own little "Date".
If there are any more questions you guys have feel free to ask and I'll try to answer as soon as I can for ya. Also Aaron's Mom's real name is Elaine De Vil.
-The Boat's Cafeteria-
There was no way Anna was gonna go rescue her family unprepared. She'd be setting herself up for failure if she were to go down there empty handed. Especially with that massive creepy crawly rummaging through the ship looking for it's next meal.
The young girl was in the kitchen digging through the cupboards and cabinets looking for anything she could possible use as a weapon.
While checking the top cabinets she found a can of spray paint next to a light. The perfect combination. Using her horror movie knowledge she could make a makeshift flamethrower. "Perfect!", She muttered with excitement.
Next to the the spray paint and lighter was a roll of duck tape. She took the tape and used it to bring the the two appliances together into one mechanism. She would keep searching for other things to use as weapons, but the clock was ticking.
Luckily she was able to find a sharp kitchen knife which she tucked underneath the bow of her waist. Now she was ready to get all of this over with finally. Everything was going to be normal again at last.
After leaving the kitchen she decided to take the quickest way to the first floor. Instead of taking the stairs she used the elevator that was fully operational at the end of the hallway.
-1st Floor-
Anna threw her right foot forward kicking open the door in front of her. She ran in while aiming her home made flamethrower in different directions.
A white light came from a rectangle shaped window in the wall beyond Anna. She could make out the slim figure of a woman examining her behind the glass with her arms crossed.
"It's a pleasure to finally meet you Anna.", She spoke into the microphone.
"Where's Aaron and Dad?", Anna forcefully questioned not trying to deal with her captor's unnecessary cliché villian dialogue. Aaron's mom chuckled in amusement by Anna's attempt at being threatening. "I'm not kidding around! Where are they!!!?"
"Snippy little bitch aren't you?", Elaine mocked. "Fine. They're in the next room I'll open it, but in return you'll need to prove to me that you're as resilient and formidable as you're making yourself out to be."
Anna wanted nothing more than to kill this woman for putting her, her family, and her friends through so much horrible shit.
"What do you want me to do?", The young girl asked.
A wet sensation draped down Anna's left shoulder. She yelped from the gross feeling that was now running down her arm. She used her right index finger and dragged it along her arm to get a feel of the clear liquid on her arm.
It had a thick gooey texture. The substance had the same feeling of human saliva.
She looked up at the ceiling before her mouth dropped in shock. The giant arachnid stared back down at her while sitting in it's intricate built web. It swooped down snatching the screaming child pulling her into it's web.
Anna kicked and screamed as her handcrafted flamethrower fell to the ground now out of her reach. The spider used it's pedipalps to hold her down.
It reared it's sharp fangs in the air preparing to land a finishing blow and pump the child with venom that could kill ten humans which meant instant death. Anna quickly used the knife tucked in her bow and jabbed the spider between it's head.
The creature let out a painful cry as it let Anna go and she dropped to the floor a couple inches away from the flamethrower. The eight legged demon seemed pissed and made a beeline for Anna with terrifying speeds.
Anna aggressively crawled to the weapon only inches away from her. Once she grabbed it she got onto her back then set the spider ablaze.
It wailed and cried pacing around the room slamming itself into the walls. It's limbs, abdomen, and hair sizzled and fell off. It's insides popped and crackled from the intense heat.
Anna watched while panting in exhaustion. The creature collapsed as it's body let out a final burst of energy. Eliane was impressed and underestimated Anna to a great extent. "Wow, You've exceeded my expectations immensely.", Elaine complimented while giving Anna a round of applause. "A deal's a deal I guess."
Two automatic sliding doors to Anna's right. She sighed of relief and jogged past the spider's corpse and into the next room. Her heart raced in happiness upon seeing her father and her older brother tied up in wooden chairs back to back. They sounded like they were finishing up a current conversation.
"Once we get out of here, you're gonna tell Dolly. You'll do nothing, but make her more upset keeping it from her.", Ryan told his son. "It doesn't matter who you're parents are, their actions have nothing to do with you. It shouldn't bother you if you're last name is De Vil. It's just a name it doesn't define who you are on the inside."
"DAD! AARON!", Anna called getting their attention.
She used the kitchen knife to cut them both loose. Ryan pulled his daughter into a hug. "Thank god, Are you ok?", He asked checking her small body for any injuries.
"I'm fine."
Anna stared at her brother who had his back turned to her. "Aaron what's the matter?"
"He's a De Vil that's what's the matter.", a feminine voice answered.
Aaron, Anna, and Ryan turned to see Elaine standing a few feet away from them holding a dart gun in the form of a pistol. Anna thought this woman would just decided to leave them alone and make her escape, but that wasn't the case here at all.
"Eliane! You're not gonna hurt these kids or anybody else anymore.", Ryan exclaimed.
"You know what you're exactly right.", His ex agreed before looking at Aaron with a chilling grin. She held out the dart gun in his direction. "But He will!"
She pulled the trigger and within the blink of an eye a dart containing a pricked Aaron on the neck injecting a crimson red fluid into his bloodstream. He yelped in pain falling to his hands and knees
"Have fun turning into a monster.", Elaine said with glee pulling out a grappling hook and pointed it at a hole in the ship's roof. She disappeared into the night sky making her escape.
"AARON!", Ryan cried getting to his knees to check up on his son. "What's going on? You ok son?"
Aaron began retching up blood while holding his stomach in pain. "D-Dad get a-away! Y-you and Anna need to leave!", Aaron pleaded. Three spikes shot out from Aaron's spine ripping through the back of his shirt. His fingernails became sharp like claws.
A spiky reptilian tail emerged from behind Aaron's lower back. "Aaron-"
The young boy swiped his right hand into his father's stomach the nails cutting deep into his flesh. "G̶̛̣͜E̷̦̕͘T̴̩̝̍ ̸̝̥̂O̷̺̥̍̂U̶͚̍͝T̸͖̖̊!̶̥̝̈́́!̴̥̿!̷̰̾͊", A guttural voice emitted from Aaron's throat as he looked at his sister and Father with pitch black eyes his skin now reddening and...peeling off.
Anna came to her father's rescue helping him stand. "WE NEED TO GO DAD!!!", Anna alerted her father in a panic.
Ryan could believe what he was witnessing right now. His only son was now turning into some kind of bloodthirsty monster. Anna and her father made their way to the exit.
Ryan leaned onto Anna for balance so he wouldn't fall while limping. Anna wanted to look back to give her brother one last glance, but she was too afraid to. Right now she needed to focus on getting herself and father out safe and sound...for Aaron.
-Outside of the Boat-
The two eldest dalmatian siblings watched as SWAT vehicles surrounding the ship that was afloat in the calm ocean next to the dock. Officers were preparing to breach the the vessel when all of a sudden a young girl pushed open the doors.
An older man was leaned up against her while she tried her best to help him walk. "We have two hostages. One's injured, but the little girl seems to be fine.", Came from the Captain of the team who was a German Shepard in his early 40's. "This man needs medical attention ASAP!!!"
Dolly and Dylan knew it was Anna and her father, but...where was Aaron? They noticed three large claw like tears in Ryan's shirt which bled profusely. He must've been leaning on Anna to help keep his balance due to his injuries.
As paramedics put her father on a stretcher, Dolly, Dylan, and DJ came to check up on Anna who appeared mentally damaged for some reason. "Anna you're ok.", DJ said with relief. The two embraced, but shortly into the hug Anna began crying on DJ's shoulder.
"Where's Aaron?", Dolly questioned.
Anna struggled to get a single word out as she choked and hiccuped in sadness and devastation. She felt so guilty like it was somehow her fault that she couldn't save him. "I-I tried to save him..., but-"
BOOM!!!
Flames engulfed the boat as something big was clawing it's way out of the vessel. The creature let out a bloodcurdling roar as the force of it's voice sent every part of the ship flying in different directions as it imploded from the inside.
People screamed and fled upon seeing the beast. Something about this monster seemed familiar. Anna and Dolly stood side by side watching the beast rising from the deep depths of the water.
It had red reptilian fleshlike scales on the hard surface of it's body, Two jagged horns protruded from the forehead of the monster, spikes ran down it's back arms and legs, It had two large feet with three toes with sharp toe claws, Judging from where Anna, Dolly, Dylan, and DJ were standing it had to be at least fifteen stories tall.
A long spiked tail swayed side to side behind it sending tidal waves of water to the docks, It had bloodshot eyes with red pinpricks as pupils, a gash ran down the left side of it's face in a similar fashion as Aaron's.
"What in dog's name is that thing?", Dylan asked shivering in fear as it towered over everyone.
"That's Aaron...", Anna finally answered. She backed away in fear seemingly stuck on what to do or say next.
"WHAT!!??", Dolly and Dylan shouted.
