"So, remind me why we're here again?" Kristof asked, staring at Ludwig Von Drake with a bored expression. "Places like this are breeding grounds for sweaty nerds, and as much as I...tolerate...nerds, I don't want to be around them. They smell like Cheez-Its and BO. I'll pass out from the sheer stench."
"Look, there's one game that Puss in Boots and I saw being played online, it's got co-op, and she really wants to try it out." Ludwig Von Drake explained. Kristof gave him a blank expression in return.
"...In English?"
"There's a game that Puss in Boots and I want to play together and this store has it."
"Oh. How lame is it?"
"Not at all, actually." Ludwig Von Drake glanced through the used games section for the Xbox, picking up a copy of Borderlands 2. "Here it is."
"...That actually looks kinda cool. Lemmie see." Kristof demanded, snatching it out of Ludwig Von Drake' hands. "Blood and gore, strong language, intense violence...and there's even a guy holding a huge gun on the back! Holy crap, why aren't you playing this with ME instead of HER?!"
"...Because you said video games are stupid and for sweaty basement nerds? Plus, you HATE technolo-"
"AH-AH-AH. I hate MOST technology. Things like this? No. I don't hate this. Maybe I've underestimated nerds and their capabilities of making something fun..." Kristof stared at the case again, and Ludwig Von Drake took it back. "Buy it and play it with me."
"You'll have to let Puss in Boots join in if you ever want to play."
"But she'll slow us down!"
"Not really, no..." Ludwig Von Drake bit his lip, thinking back to the millions of sniper battles that Puss in Boots had won before online. It was debatable where she got those skills, but KristofcingShadow4352 was a gamertag that struck fear into the heart of any experienced FPS gamer. Meanwhile, if Kristof ever got his hands on an actual game...
"WAIT! WAIT! WE HAVE GRENADE LAUNCHERS?!"
"We're supposed to solve this quest peacefully-"
"FUCK THAT, WE'VE GOT GRENADES! WE'RE BLOWING THIS TOWN SKY-HIGH!"
Okay, that might not turn out well for completing any part of the game. With that thought in mind, Ludwig Von Drake resisted every urge to shake his head as he brought the game up to the counter. Meanwhile, Kristof was staring around the store, finally settling on staring at a completely blank disk within a CD case that seemed to be half-broken. He picked it up, looking at it and finally seeing the words 'DON'T PLAY' scratched into the surface of the disk. Shrugging, he took it over to Ludwig Von Drake.
"Hey, you've got an extra laptop, right?"
"Well, yeah, but it's almost broke-"
"Give it to me. And buy me this." Kristof handed the CD to Ludwig Von Drake, who raised a brow.
"What even is this?"
"Oh, that's..." The guy behind the counter spoke up. "That game's been here forever. One day it just...was here. No real explanation, I don't remember anyone bringing it in...but it was here. Since then, three people have come in, bought it, and returned it. At this point, we're just giving it away free with any good purchase if someone wants it."
"Oh, hey. We got lucky!" Kristof grinned, but Ludwig Von Drake was a bit more unsure.
"It says 'don't play' on the case, Kristof."
"And? Hasn't stopped me from doing things before. Usually the things that people slap 'don't' in front of are the most fun."
"..." Ludwig Von Drake sighed. "...Alright, we'll take it."
Slamming his door open, clutching the half-broken laptop and new CD, Kristof took a seat on his couch, turning the laptop on and inserting the CD. "Alright, let's see what this is all about..."
Immediately, a menu appeared on the screen, along with a pink checkered background.
ROMANCE ACADEMY 7
START
QUIT
SHIZENHAKKA
"...What the hell?" Kristof questioned, staring at the screen in sheer disbelief. "O...kay. Start, I guess." He clicked on the option to do so, and the game switched into a background of cherry blossom trees.
When the cherry blossoms of magic romance academy are in bloom...
anthyding can hadplen
"Anthyding can...hadplen. ANTHYDING CAN HADPLEN. This is why I don't play games." Kristof snapped, glaring at the screen. "WHAT THE HELL IS A HADPLEN?! OR ANTHYDING?!"
It was at that moment the scene changed to a classroom, with a pink-haired girl appearing on screen, a gigantic bow on top of her head, wearing some kind of school uniform.
"Oh! Hello there! My name is Anna! I'm a schoolgirl at School University! Will you help me carry my books?" The girl questioned. Kristof was struck with silence for a minute before looking at the options.
YES OF COURSE
I'M IMPATIENT, DATE ME NOW
OH HEY LOOK A TENTACLE MONSTER
"...Am I supposed to...is this what lonely people do?! They have to date computers?! Is this really what's going on?! I...just...I'm impatient, date me now. There."
A broken heart flashed on screen as Kristof clicked the option. "WHAT?! That's what I'd say in real life! Out of those three options, at least!"
"Ehehehehe! You're funny!" Anna giggled. "Try again!"
YES OF COURSE
/3 I'M IMPATIENT, DATE ME NOW
OH HEY LOOK A TENTACLE MONSTER
"...Alright, 'of course', then."
The computer instantly chimed with '1000' romance points as coins fell down on the display. Kristof rolled his eyes.
"What would you like to talk about?" Anna chirped. Three more options appeared onto the screen.
WHAT YOU LIKE
JAPANESE SHIT
TENTACLE MONSTERS
"...None of that?" Kristof threw his hands in the air, staring at Anna with an annoyed expression. "How is anyone supposed to like this?!"
"Aww, that's alright! Here! I'll make new choices, just for you!"
REVENGE
TENTACLE MONSTERS
CATS
"...Alright, you're getting me with one and three. Let's go with one." Kristof reluctantly clicked the option, and Anna smiled pleasantly.
"I'm seeking revenge on every last person who has abandoned me and or wronged me! I've even got a list of my own!" The pink-haired girl pulled out a list, reading 'Ex-Boyfriends', 'Huey', 'Donkey', 'Hippies'...
"Huh, so do I." Kristof mused, showing his own list to the screen. Anna giggled.
"Wow, you're smart AND handsome! You'll make an excellent new boyfriend!"
"-I can't disagree with that." Kristof smiled. "Maybe you're not that bad after all."
"Awww. Thank you! And you'll never abandon me like everyone else did, right?"
"Well...uh...of course not!"
A few weeks later...
"...This is weird." Puss in Boots commented, sitting on the couch, snuggled up to Ludwig Von Drake.
"What is?"
"Kristof hasn't called you for...anything for the past 5 weeks. I'm actually kinda concerned." Puss in Boots stated. Ludwig Von Drake rubbed his chin.
"Actually, yeah, that is kinda weird. I'll call him, see how he's doing."
Ring. Ring.
"...Hello...?" A tired voice answered the phone. "Whossis..."
"It's Ludwig Von Drake. Are you doing alright?"
Immediately, Kristof's voice brightened. "Ludwig Von Drake! I'm just fine. You should...you should come over sometime. I've got something to show you..."
Ludwig Von Drake raised a brow, his tone changing to one of concern. "...Are you sure?"
"Yeah! Yeah...just...just come over."
"...Alright. I'll try to come over ASAP." Ludwig Von Drake hung up the phone. "I don't think he's doing alright."
"Me neither. You'd better go see what's up." Puss in Boots nodded, getting up. "I may not like him that much, but I don't want him to wear himself out that much like he sounded on the phone. He wasn't even yelling."
"That's what I'm scared about. He wasn't even remotely loud. He sounded almost normal. I'm going to go check on him."
"Good luck." Puss in Boots leaned over, kissing Ludwig Von Drake on the cheek. "I'll be here when you get home."
Ludwig Von Drake nodded, smiling happily, picking up his keys and heading for his car.
Knock knock knock.
"Oh! It's Ludwig Von Drake's knock. Come in!"
Ludwig Von Drake opened the door, looking around the room as he did. It seemed...normal. All except for his best friend, who was sitting in front of the laptop he'd given him 5 weeks ago, a demented grin (well, moreso than usual) on his face that made him look unreasonably happy, and he looked like he hadn't eaten for that amount of time, either.
"Hey! C'mon over here! I want you to...to meet someone..." Kristof trailed off, weakly waving his arm.
Ludwig Von Drake walked over, looking at the screen. On the screen was a pink-haired girl in a schoolgirl dress. Kristof motioned for Ludwig Von Drake to lean in in front of the screen. "So, Anna, this is the guy I told you about, my friend. Ludwig Von Drake."
"Nice to meet you!" The so-called Anna spoke in a stilted way, which, while not exactly surprising for a computer program, was a bit surprising for one with voice recognition, of all things. "My name is Anna! I'm a schoolgirl at School University! My boyfriend has told me everything about you and Puss in Boots! I'm sure we can be friends too!" If Ludwig Von Drake hadn't known better, he could've sworn that-she did. She recognized Puss in Boots and...did her eye twitch?
"Don't tell him everything I told you..." Kristof clicked on Anna's head. Anna giggled in response.
"Okay! I won't!"
"...So wait. You're dating a computer program?" Ludwig Von Drake asked, looking at Kristof.
"She's not an ordinary game! She's special." Kristof protested. "See, look, whenever I compliment her, she gets another highlight in her eyes. Anna, you're beautiful."
"Ehehehe! Aww! Don't flatter me too much, I'll get spoiled!" Anna giggled as another sparkle appeared in her gigantic eyes. Ludwig Von Drake's own eyes widened.
"...Yeah. Okay. Have you left this room in 5 weeks?"
"Nope. Been spending all my time with Anna. She's perfect, I don't see why I'd need..."
"...you need to exit your room. Breathe some outdoor air. It's not healthy." Ludwig Von Drake stated. Kristof shook his head.
"I can breathe just fine in here. It's...it's totally healthy. Besides, when the cherry blossoms fall at this academy...anthyding can hadplen." Kristof said, matter-of-factly.
"Anthyding...can hadplen."
"Yep." Kristof nodded, weakly. "'s...'s the truth..." He closed his eyes, then blinked them open quickly. "Can't miss a...single moment..." He sank into his seat, and began to doze off. Anna quickly turned her attention to Ludwig Von Drake.
"I'd advise stopping, if I were you." She smirked in a decidedly unfriendly way, an undercurrent of passive-aggressiveness coating her words. "I've heard everything about you. Everything. Don't ruin my relationship with my boyfriend, you homewrecker. We'll be together forever."
"...Excuse me? I'm just trying to get him to go outside." Ludwig Von Drake frowned, staring at Anna. "You can date him, I don't care. He just needs to be more physically healthy than what he is right now."
"THAT'S WHAT THEY ALL SAY!" Anna's hair turned a shade of red as she pointed at Ludwig Von Drake in frustration. "You're just doing this so you can steal him from me!"
"I'm married! To Puss in Boots! He told you that!"
Anna narrowed her eyes. "You really don't know, do you?" She commented, her fury turning into some direction of calm. "You really are stupid. A stupid, gluttonous idiot who doesn't notice anything in front of him...then again, you lost that when I came into the picture!" Anna giggled. "I might as well tell you, at this rate, since he's mine. He's always, even after you ABANDONED him for that woman, been-"
"AH?! AH! I'm...I'm awake..." Kristof jolted awake, looking around. "...Did I miss anything?"
"No, honey! Go back to sleep!" Anna replied, waving her hand. "I'll be here when you wake up!"
"...oh...okay..." Kristof fell back to sleep, falling onto his side, drooling.
"...Been what?" Ludwig Von Drake asked, as soon as Kristof fell back to sleep.
"Take a wiiiiild guessss. You'll never get it."
"..." Ludwig Von Drake stepped away. "...Okay, I'm getting him away from you."
"Good luck! The only people who know how to do that are all the way in Oregon-oop." Anna covered her mouth. "Maybe I've said too much." She waved her arms. "Forget, forget, FORGET BEEEAAAAMMM!"
Ludwig Von Drake exited the room, closing the door behind him, and calling up Puss in Boots.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Puss in Boots? Can you tell me if there's been any strange occurrences in Oregon recently? Like...paranormal related?"
By the time Kristof woke up, he was inside Ludwig Von Drake's car. "...Ludwig Von Drake? What are we doing?" He sat up straight. "Where's Anna?"
"Anna's not here. And we're going to Oregon."
"...WHY?! Take me back! I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO GETS TO DECIDE REVENGE PLANS AROUND HERE! AND Anna! SOMETIMES! MAYBE!" Kristof snapped, making a grab for the steering wheel.
"It's not-it's not for revenge!" Ludwig Von Drake struggled, eventually pushing Kristof off the wheel and getting back onto the road. "We're going to Gravity Falls, Oregon. There's been a report of animatronics declaring their love for someone in the same way Anna has told you she loves you. Obsessively. Consider this your rehabilitation away from her."
"Ludwig Von Drake, I don't NEED REHABILITATION! I was doing just fine!"
"You hadn't eaten in 5 weeks."
"I WAS ON A DIET!"
"You hadn't even slept in 5 weeks."
"...THE DIET INCLUDED NOT GOING TO SLEEP!"
"Not likely." Ludwig Von Drake sighed. "Just...just go with me on this one, okay? Consider this payback for all the times I've helped you before."
"...Okay, fine." Kristof crossed his arms, sinking into the seat, pouting.
Eventually, the two reached a shabby-looking place with a half-broken sign on it reading 'Mystery Shack'. Kristof looked at Ludwig Von Drake with confusion, pointing at it. "...Here? Why are we going to a place that looks like...that?"
"This is where the reports were coming from." Ludwig Von Drake shrugged. "At least that's what Puss in Boots told me."
"She was messing with you. Just to upset me and drag me away from what little happiness I have." Kristof grumbled, stepping out of the car. "Whatever. Proceed." He followed Ludwig Von Drake to the door, stepping inside as a bell jingled. Hearing the bell, a teenage girl at the counter looked up from her magazine.
"Welcome to the Mystery Shack. What can we help you with today?" The girl asked. Ludwig Von Drake stepped over to the counter.
"Um, hi. Do you maybe know someone by the name of..." He looked at the paper he'd written down the information Puss in Boots had given him on. "Dewey?"
"Oh, yeah. Dewey!" The girl called out in the back. Hearing the noise, an overweight, tall male wearing a shirt with a question mark on it ran out, looking mildly confused. "These guys your friends? They were asking about you..."
"Um...I don't..."
"Hey. My name's Ludwig Von Drake, my friend is Kristof." Ludwig Von Drake motioned to Kristof, who raised a hand in annoyed greeting. "...Do you remember anything about a girl called...Anna?"
Dewey froze in his tracks. "What about her?"
Soon enough, Dewey had grabbed two children who he introduced as Donkey and Huey Pines - two other names that had been mentioned by Puss in Boots. The group gathered in the living room of the shack, Ludwig Von Drake explaining the situation. Donkey's face twisted into a horrified expression as Ludwig Von Drake explained, shaking his head.
"I thought she was dead..."
"Well, not quite, I guess." Ludwig Von Drake shrugged. "Kristof doesn't believe any of it, though."
"She's NICE! Okay, so she's a computer program and she might have a few flaws, but THEY'RE THINGS I CAN LOOK PAST! Just like how you look past Puss in Boots's loads of flaws that I point out to you all the time." Kristof snapped, glaring at Ludwig Von Drake.
"Dude, she's...not nice." Dewey spoke up. "She tried to kill me after I paused her, along with everyone else. She'll probably do the same to you."
"Not likely. She LOVES me." Kristof smirked triumphantly.
"...She said that to me too."
"WELL, SHE WAS LYING TO YOU!" Kristof yelled, sinking into the couch with an annoyed expression.
Donkey proceeded to look at Ludwig Von Drake, with an expression that practically read 'why do you want to save HIM, again?' Ludwig Von Drake merely shook his head as if to say 'he's an idiot, but he's my friend'. With a bit of crackle, the TV in the room began to turn on, as everyone looked at it. Appearing on the screen was a familiar face...
"Kristof? Why are you here?"
"...How is she here?!" Ludwig Von Drake immediately backed away from the TV as Kristof got closer to it.
"That's her thing. She can travel between all kinds of technology." Donkey replied.
"Wait a second." Anna looked around the room. "...Dewey...why are you here?" She faked a hurt tone. "...Kristof, are you trying to get rid of me?"
"I would NEVER! These ASSHOLES just decided that-"
"...So they're trying to take you away from me..." Anna muttered, a hint of darkness creeping upon her expression. "It's all his fault, isn't it..."
"...Well, I mean..." Kristof paused, seeing her expression.
"IT'S OKAY!" Anna cheered loudly. "Now we can be a couple of three! Forever and ever! You, me, and..."
"Chri-" Kristof began to speak, and was cut off.
"Dewey! You, me, and Dewey! A couple of three! In love forever and ever!" Anna had appeared in a cheerleader's outfit, waving a pom-pom. "Yaaaaay~!"
Kristof glanced at Dewey, and then at Anna. "...Yeah, I don't know if I'm okay with that. No offense."
"None taken."
"...Oh, well, that's okay then! I can just download your consciousness to my world, and it can just be us two!" Anna smiled happily. "That's fine, right?"
"Wait, download my-"
"Yeah! You don't need that mortal body anymore! All you need is...me!"
Kristof backed away from the screen. Anna continued talking. "I mean, real-world people are so unpredictable. They'd only hurt you like they had before, time and time again. But I'd never hurt you. I love you. You just have to tell me that you love me, and then we can be together without these people forever."
An eerie silence fell upon the room.
...
...
...
"No."
"Wh...WHAT?!"
"I SAID NO! NO ONE CONTROLS ME! SHUT! UP!" And just like that, Kristof was back. Anna, however...
"...You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?" Anna whispered. "...YOU ARE MINE, Kristof! DO YOU HEAR ME?! MIIIIIIIIINE!" It was at that minute that an electric lamp flew straight for Kristof's head.
"HOLY SHIT-" He barely ducked and missed it. Donkey and Huey, meanwhile, had already gotten up.
"WHERE'S THE GAME DISC?!"
"...IT'S AT HOME!"
"You've gotta use the dis-" The electric appliances were getting up and flying at the group, following them as they dashed outside. "Crap!"
"PILE IN!" Ludwig Von Drake called, and the group immediately hopped into the car, minus Dewey.
"I'll hold her off, dudes! You go!"
"Are you sure?!" Donkey called back.
"Yeah, I'll be fine! You know where to call me! NOW DRIVE!"
The car took off, the group all hit with a strike of fear. "...Alright, so here's what we have to do." Donkey explained. "We have to fry the game disc any way we know how. Even then, that might be temporary, so it'd be better to find a more permanent way so no one has to deal with this ever again. But I don't know how."
"Breaking it with your fists or something?" Ludwig Von Drake offered.
"We tried. She keeps it under lock pretty good. It was a miracle we fried it the last time." Donkey frowned. "We'll really need good planning."
"And that's MY specialty." Kristof spoke up. "We'll grab the disc and break it...permanently. I know the one person who'd know how."
Immediately, Ludwig Von Drake and Kristof spoke in unison.
"Puss in Boots."
"So, let me get this straight-" Puss in Boots pinched the bridge of her forehead. "You got a videogame for Kristof, that videogame hosted an obsessive pink-haired girl, and she's either going to kill Kristof or kill everyone else."
"Pretty much." Ludwig Von Drake stuck his hands in his pockets.
"And these two are the only ones who defeated it before." Puss in Boots motioned to Huey and Donkey. Ludwig Von Drake nodded. "And how old are you two?"
"...12." Huey spoke up.
"Amazing." Puss in Boots shook her head. "Just...wow. Okay. So do we have a plan yet on how to get the disc in the first place?"
"Yep. We discussed it in the car." Kristof replied. "We just don't know what to do with it once we have it."
"Give it to me. I've got an idea." Puss in Boots replied.
The door opened to Kristof's apartment as he walked inside. "Kristof!" Anna's voice chirped. "You're alone! Did you change your mind?" Her eyes sparkled as her face invaded the screen of the laptop.
"Yeah, I just might have." Kristof sat down in front of the laptop as Anna gasped with joy. "Can I just maybe-I don't know-click your face one last time before I can actually touch it?"
"Of course!" It was at that moment Kristof moved his hand to the trackpad-and pressed the eject disc button. "W-Wha?!"
"Oops." Kristof smirked, running out of his apartment, disc in hand.
"Kristof?! DAAAAAAAAAAAN!" Anna yelled, pointing an annoyed fist at the air, the TV flying out of the window, and...landing flat onto Kristof's car, Anna's annoyed face being displayed upon it.
"OH, COME ON!" Kristof snapped, running for Ludwig Von Drake's car again, handing the disc to Huey as he hopped into the driver's seat. "...Okay, this is going to get intense pretty fast."
Huey nodded, buckling up, as a familiar face bounded in through the window.
"Meow!"
"-Mr. Mumbles!"
"Oh, yeah! She ran out of your apartment after things started getting intense." Huey smiled, as the cat sat in her lap. "She's safe."
Mr. Mumbles let out a pleased purr-and then a terrified yowl as the blade from an electric fan began flying at the car. Kristof immediately stepped on the gas at the sound, Huey and Mr. Mumbles breathing a mild sigh of relief at the fact that the blade missed.
All three let out a terrified scream at the fact that traffic lights and even some cars were now chasing after them, however.
"-ELECTRIC CARS ARE THE WOOOORRSSSSTTT!" Kristof made a mental note to add 'electric cars' to the list later. Huey glanced around, pawing in her skirt pocket, and taking out a bag of tacks. "...Why do you even have those?!"
"Just in case. Never know!" Huey smiled happily, tossing the tacks behind the car as the electric cars following them popped their tires.
"Not bad."
"Thank you!"
As they pulled up to Ludwig Von Drake's house, Kristof immediately handed the disc over to Puss in Boots, who took it into the living room. "What now?!" Kristof asked.
"The only way we can permanently get rid of something like this...is to beat her at her own game." Puss in Boots stated, putting the disc into the Xbox 360 set up in front of the living room TV. "The best of us at games, plus Kristof, better grab a controller." Puss in Boots immediately took a controller, followed by Kristof, Donkey, and Ludwig Von Drake, despite Puss in Boots's worried glance at the last one. Huey and Mr. Mumbles sat to the side, looking at the TV.
Anna appeared on the TV, looking at the four. "...What do you plan to do?" She asked.
"We're challenging you to a game." Puss in Boots stated. "A shootout using the game currently in the system. Our team against yours."
"...Huh. So if I win, Kristof joins me, right?!" Anna's eyes sparkled.
"Yes. And if we win, you leave us - and everyone else - alone forever. Got it?"
"That sounds fair! I'll definitely win!" Anna giggled. Saying that, the title screen for Super Death Shooter 8 popped up, Puss in Boots quickly selecting the new 'vs. Anna' mode, that had pink lettering on it in an entirely different font. Donkey and Kristof grimaced.
"...I haven't played this one before." Donkey stated.
"Neither have I. How do you work this thing?" Kristof asked, spinning the controller around in his hands.
"That's fine. Just shoot at her head, we're all leveled up to 72 anyway." Puss in Boots stated. "Pick anyone you want." With that, she selected a girl with blue hair, Kristof picking the one that held the biggest gun (which was, ironically, the shortest character), the other two picking their own characters. As soon as they did, they stared dead-eyed at the TV, as if their minds had gone someplace else. And, of course, they had.
Their characters on the TV twisted and changed until they resembled them, appearing on a desert map, with Anna appearing a few minutes later, holding a...giant cleaver.
"You know, what's really crazy is this world that refuses to let me be with you..." She grinned widely, pointing the cleaver forward. Immediately, she was hit by a spray of bulletfire, Puss in Boots looking up at her level-
"95?! The level cap is-"
"I'm not originally part of this game, remember?" Anna reminded her, tauntingly. With that, the girl slashed at her, Puss in Boots quickly jumping away. "Oh, and if you die in the game...you die in real life, too."
"-Crap!" Puss in Boots took aim, shooting at her eye, but only chipping off a bit of health.
"Owwww!" Anna pouted. "Mean!" With that, she slashed at the other girl, taking off half her health in one blow. "How could you?! All I wanted was my boyfriend..."
"I'M! NOT! YOUR! BOYFRIEND!" Immediately, a spray of bulletfire came from the sky, where Kristof had jumped off one of the higher parts of the map. Anna gasped, her health going down quite a bit at those words. Ludwig Von Drake and Donkey continued firing, eventually Donkey accidentally hitting her in-the heart.
"Her heart is the weakpoint!" Donkey called. Puss in Boots, Ludwig Von Drake, and Donkey immediately began taking aim at her heart, Anna letting out an annoyed growl.
"You can't do anythi-"
"Ahem." Kristof cleared his throat, getting Anna's attention as she raised the cleaver. Hearing him, she lowered it gently. "You speak like a freak, your eyes are creepy, you're just creepy in general, and I hate your guts. Oh, and you're not...what was that word? Kawaii?"
Anna gasped, each word damaging her until she was down to 1 HP. "...No..."
"Oh, and yeah. For your information, that thing I mentioned to you? I still care about that more than I ever have you."
Anna growled, her last hitpoint turning red. "I...hate...that...JERKFACE!" She raised her cleaver, and immediately swung at Ludwig Von Drake, Kristof pushing him out of the way quickly and taking the blow himself - knocking himself down to 1 HP. "-W-What?! NO! I HURT...BUT I LOVE...BUT I HURT...BUT...LOVEHURTLOVEHUR-"
Puss in Boots immediately shot her down in the heart with a bullet. The pink-haired girl fell onto the ground, evaporating into dust, and the four returned to reality, Kristof immediately letting out a pained groan, causing Mr. Mumbles to let out a concerned yowl. "...Crap, okay...never. Again. Ludwig Von Drake, if I ever want to get a disc that says don't play on it...ever...again...don't let me."
"Alright." Ludwig Von Drake gently patted him on the back.
"...You think that's the last of her?" Huey asked.
"We can only hope." Donkey replied.
"...Wonder how Dewey is doing..." Mable rubbed her chin.
Meanwhile, outside the Mystery Shack...
Dewey was tangled in a bunch of wires, laying on the ground. "Um, dudes? Are you back yet? I can't tell because I can only look at the ceiling...
Help?
Anyone...?
I'm kind of hungry, too..." At that moment, Dewey' stomach rumbled. "...That can wait, though, I guess..."
