WH: Do you know what is harder then I thought, life and writing this chapter. No matter the next ones I fell are going to be much eaiser so apologies for the 'late' publishing. I'm still on time but I feel late, is that even possible?
SN: Just start the chapter.
Lights flashed and people made bets in a whirlwind of sin and gambling at the Devil's Casino. Though it was only the early afternoon the activity was still fierce with wealthy patrons going from table to table gambling, drinking, and smoking while chatting about the good life. Amongst them the workers moved diligently about serving people with well-practiced ease overseen by an oddly intimidating individual. A man in a well done purple suit and bow tie wearing white gloves watched over the casino floor with his intent eyes. His most unusual feature was the fact that his head was a literal dice with a sleazy and cunning grin splitting it. He chuckled watching the daily profits roll in knowing he had a lot of tallying to do tonight for debts reclaimed. As he pictured the new Jacuzzi he would be building now that his boss, the devil, was long gone the door to the casino swung open. This was not unusual except for the part where the door men were acting a bit more subservient than usual, which they never did unless they were important individuals. Glancing over he raised an eyebrow at the sight of two kids coming into the casino that he recognized as Rico O'Mally and Princess Lilacia Ponyhead. Officially he was supposed to keep kids out of the casino but if they had money to spend he let all types in; and these children of royalty had plenty to spend. His smile grew warm and inviting as the kids came over with him speaking up.
"Ah and what brings two fine children of the higher ups to this humble establishment?" Rico spoke up in a bit of an exaggerated tone of voice as he gestures to Ponyhead.
"Well The Bounce Lounge be closin down so Ponyhead wanted to check out some other places to hang. I recommended this place and she decided to come along." Ponyhead glanced around and spoke up.
"Hmmmm… there is a lot of action going on here but it doesn't feel like my type of 'vibe' yo." King Dice smiled more invitingly and spoke in a relaxed tone meant to put people at ease.
"Well the nights I am sure are more your 'type' your majesty. In fact I am a little surprised you came during the daytime but you pick when and where you come and go." He smiled as Ponyhead looked with some interest at what people were doing in one area of gambling. "Ah you seem to be interested in the dice game over there; I myself am a real fan of such games naturally." He felt a glimmer of satisfaction as Rico chuckled at the joke with Ponyhead asking him a question.
"What exactly are they doing?" At this King Dice sensed a perfect opportunity to get the kid hooked and potentially for her to invite more people so pressed an advantage.
"Would you like an explanation or a demonstration with you participating?" Ponyhead looked at him in suspicion as he waved a hand in a calming manner. "I know I know leaping in head first may not be your thing…" At this Ponyhead looked almost offended and spoke up.
"I'll have you know I am one to go all in from the outset; livin wild and free YEAH!" Rico chuckled a little nervously at Ponyhead's enthusiasm and spoke up.
"Well it would be best for a test round before we go all in as this is something you can't just back out of." King Dice nodded with a plan forming in his mind as he replied.
"Well come with me and I will show you what that game in particular is." He gestured with Ponyhead and Rico following him as he chuckled internally with glee. 'A perfect set up. All I need to do is get that girl hooked on the stuff and she'll bring her friends. Although I wouldn't hold my breath for that Star girl; she seems a might bit too clearheaded and timid for this environment.'
In a room filled with security screens that showed scenes of the inside of 'The Devil's Casino' what appeared to be a living Domino watched the screens. What was unusual even for the fact that the living Domino was watching was that it appeared to be two individuals stacked up like the numbers on a domino piece. The top one had white gloves and a blue stovepipe hat with the one on the bottom wearing a grey skirt and red heels with a red bow sitting between the two so the top one had a bowtie and the bottom had a hair bow. As the top one watched the screens he deduced the perfect time and pulled a lever from a point of 'win and lose' to 'All games lose' and smiled as multiple people lost simultaneously at some big stages. The one beneath him sighed in annoyance and kicked her heel speaking up.
"Really, you're ok with being stuck here?" The top one shrugged and replied.
"Eh Dot sweetie, we got a job so we might as well enjoy it until people get interested in Pai Gow again. Besides you know what King Dice would have done to us if we weren't willing to do this right?" Dot nodded reluctantly with a screen suddenly blinking. "Oh, a new customer, let's welcome them shall we?" He pulled on another lever to a point marked 'Beginner's luck' and chuckled until the screens started flickering. "Oh…" At this Dot giggled looking up.
"Having problems eh Pip?" Pip growled at this and hit one of the screens causing it to flicker even more before the screens panned out to normal again. "I say, 'King' Dice needs to upgrade his system before it actually breaks or someone takes advantage of it." Pip grunted at that looking at the screens getting the feeling something was… off…
A large monkey wearing a yellow suit and holding cymbals was sitting in a room that held a pile of suitcases and other carrying cases in it. On the pile was a sign that said 'Debt money to be sorted, do not touch. That includes you Hopus Pocus.' The monkey giggled in a stereotypical monkey fashion at nothing and hammered his cymbals together with loud clangs. When he quieted down however a few more clangs occurred just outside the door making him look up. He shrieked eagerly and went to the door before stopping and thinking on how strange it was that something would just be clanging randomly outside of the door. He grew cautious and approached the door slowly reaching up with his foot and opening the door ever so slightly peeking out into a hallway filled with security lasers and cameras. He looked back and forth in confusion across the hallway snapping to the left when he heard some white noise that lasted for a straight 10 seconds. Shrugging in a confused manner he closed the door and turned around to see Star Butterfly standing right behind him holding her wand at him. 'Jelly Bean Hallucination Mist!' A blast of energy hit his face and he blinked in confusion before shrieking at nothing and clanging his cymbals together hopping around. Star chuckled and opened the door with Tempest coming from down the left end of the hallway dodging the lasers effortlessly.
"Why is it that these important things are always guarded by one incompetent idiot?" Tempest spoke up as he came through the door with Star replying as she closed it shrugging.
"Why is it that no one looks up when they hear a strange noise outside their door? Beats me but I'm not questioning it if it gets results." They turned towards the pile of suitcases with Star scanning it with her wand. "Ok, 'Lapis Location Finder'." After a few seconds one case in particular glowed a bright blue with Tempest scooping it up and turning to Star.
"Alright, now let's get moving before…" The door to the room suddenly opened with a giant 8 ball floating in speaking up.
"Came to relive you and make sure that…" He looked around the room with his eyes falling on Star and Tempest while listening to the monkey run around like an idiot. "… well, this is awkward." Star shoot a random blast at him but the 8 ball closed the door quickly with an alarm sounding prompting Tempest to speak up.
"Time to ignore stealth and go for speed hopper, got anything in there?" He motioned in the wand with Star giving him a confident smile.
King Dice watched smiling in a pleased manner congratulating Ponyhead as she won another round of craps. She had taken to the game quite readily and he sensed she would get invested in far more than just that; what's more, if he played this right, he could get some big bucks from the Ponyhead's. He knew the games were fixed for now but he needed some way to get Ponyhead to be invested in this and losing constantly wouldn't help. When he began considering whether he should have Ponyhead lose a few rounds to whet her appetite a buzzing came from his mirror which he groaned reaching down for it. As he held it up to answer Rico seemed to rub the side of his head as if something blew on it and spoke up.
"Say Pony, mind stopping by the snack area real quick before winning another round?" Ponyhead turned on him speaking up.
"Oh HELLLL no, I'm on a winning streak." She strutted around a little making King Dice chuckle as he answered the mirror getting only static. As he scratched his head in confusion he heard Ponyhead speak again. "You know what sure, might as well deal with the tum tum you know." Blinking in confusion he looked up seeing their demeanors had changed very subtly which prompted him to go along with them speaking up.
"Say how about I get you kids one on the house for this time…" He was silenced when an alarm suddenly sounded prompting him to look around in confusion. "… bloody hell?" At this Ponyhead and Rico made a break for it with him focusing in on them with a scowl on his face. "Alright kids, whatever you're doing I ain't…" He was silenced however when a solid blow hit him on the back of the head making him fall to the ground. He looked up to see they were moving away at full speed with whatever had hit him nowhere to be seen. He got up groaning slightly as a stack of living poker chips and the gigantic 8 ball came into the room and approached him nervously. "Let me guess, kids were in the back stealing from us?" As the 8 ball nodded King Dice growled nodding to the stack of poker chips and 8 ball respectively. "Chips Bettigan, Mangosteen; I want every fucking member of this fucking casino after those FUCKING BASTARDS!" He moved over to the dice table flipping it over in anger prompting the three to rush out of the room to secure the casino.
Outside the casino a heavily armored security van was parked close to the door with Kelly standing outside of it dressed in formal attire acting like a bodyguard. Inside Alexis acted as a chauffeur while Dennis was in front of a control panel messing with mirror signals in the area and the security cameras of the casino as best he could with their shoddy jamming equipment. When the doors to the casino suddenly burst open and they saw Rico, Ponyhead, Star, and Tempest running out at nearly the same time Alexis started the van. Kelly reached into her hair and waited until a few more figures came out with her throwing swords at the door. They didn't hit anyone but they did form a barrier that stopped the group out of obstruction and fear long enough for everyone to get into the van. As the van started up and got moving Star spoke up worriedly.
"Where's Marco?!"
"I'm right here." Marco pulled off a covering over his face revealing he was covered in some cloth that acted like a cloaking device keeping him invisible. "Man I'm surprised you guys don't use more of this stuff?" Rico shrugged and spoke nonchalantly.
"It's expensive and you can't fly or grip onto walls or ceilings with that stuff covering your appendages. Alright people let's get moving to the edge of the Tremorfidian barrier so we can cut our way out of here before the heat comes down on us!" Everyone gave out a cheer as the van sped off with Chips Bettigan shooting poker chips at them with some actually hitting hard enough to stick into the outer shell of the armor.
King Dice emerged from the casino furious at the turn of events with his inferiors cowering from him. As he went to yell at them a portal was somehow cut into the air not 10 feet from his location. Looking up in confusion he saw an automaton wearing a formal uniform he recognized from St. Olga's wielding a gigantic kitchen knife stepping through holding what seemed to be a tracking device. He stared at her for a second in shear confusion until he smiled connecting the dots and stepped forward to her with the automaton looking up and speaking.
"Pardon me, but would you be able to inform me of the location of a certain Princess Star Butterfly and Princess Marcia Turdina." He blinked in confusion but nodded and replied.
"I don't know who that second one is but I did see the former just run out of my casino with stolen goods…"
The Odd Squad cheered as they sped out along the confusing patchwork of streets in the so called 'sin city' that the casino was located in. As they did so Marco glanced out the window with something catching his eye that was off. He stopped his cheering and looked out the glass more carefully seeing what appeared to be several vehicles going along a road next to theirs with King Dice at the wheel of one and a certain figure riding some sort of scooter next to his car. Marco blinked in confusion and turned getting Rico's attention.
"Um guys, we have a tail." Ponyhead perked up at this yelling out.
"Paparazzi!?" She moved to the back with Rico speaking up to Alexis.
"Pedal to the metal man!" Alexis sped the vehicle up with Ponyhead opening up the back of the van.
"Don't take any photos please." She strutted as King Dice and the others came up behind them with Star speaking up.
"Ponyhead get back in here and close the door."
"Hiiiii, here I am!" As Ponyhead strutted her stuff DuBois leveled her arm with some sort of gun barrel popping out of the forearm shooting a dart at Ponyhead. "Don't take any… photoos… pleaaaaaase…" Ponyhead immediately got woozy and nearly fell out of the van with Tempest pulling her in and yelling out.
"No more pictures!" Closing the door behind him Rico spoke up.
"Get Ponyhead back up and floating. ETA to exiting the city wide crystal barrier." Dennis spoke up at this one.
"Two minutes and thirty seven seconds sir." Rico smiled and spoke in a confident manner.
"Man your battle stations everyone." At this Alexis slipped out of the driver's seat and joined Rico, Tempest, Dennis, and Kelly with Star looking up at this worried.
"Hey guys, who's driving?!" Alexis turned towards Star speaking up.
"Don't just sit their Star take the wheel." Star immediately began panicking and rubbing her tail.
"I can't drive I'm not old enough!" Marco skootched past her into the seat with a confident smile.
"Move over then princess, time to see if my driving video games have payed for themselves now." Star's panicking immediately got worse as Marco began flicking random switches. "Say what does this thing do?" (Lucky Boys Confusion - Hey Driver) watch?v=uz9ICU9cNV0&t=0s&index=58 Music began playing as the vehicle hit something on the side of the road making the van leap up into the air and roll over coming back upright and continuing to move. Rico smiled and cheered at this speaking to Marco.
"NICE ONE HOODIE!" Everyone cheered him on with Star rubbing her tail as Marco's grin grew panicked.
"Hehehe, I did not think that through."
Marco tried to steer the van with it going up onto a curb running over anything and anyone that got in its way. Some of the items that hit flew over the back of the van hitting the vehicles pursuing them but doing no notable damage; not even to DuBois who only looked annoyed. Rico nodded to Dennis who hit a switch making a load of oil come out from the back of the vehicle coating the road. DuBois seemed to smile at this and flipped onto her feet holding the scooter above her head as she navigated the oil slick. King Dice's vehicle and one other managed to get through but the others were not so lucky crashing into the sides. As DuBois leapt back on her scooter Rico stroked his chin and turned to Dennis.
"I need some intel on that smoking metal girl, I need to know what were up against." Dennis nodded and after a second searching up speaking worriedly.
"Sir, we have a serious problem; Capitan Chantal DuBois, St. Olga Princess Patrol, perfect princess retrieval case record." Everyone immediately turned to a still drugged Ponyhead who was singing a little ditty.
"Ohhh, I wanna be the friction in your jeeeeans…" Marco shock his head as he tried to remain focused on the road.
"Pretending I didn't hear that, I think they're after Star and me considering the state we left St. Olga's in when we were last there." Star nodded letting go of her tail with her eyes going yellow cat-pupiled.
"Let me at this girl." Star moved over to a porthole that was in the van's ceiling and pushed it open with Tempest holding her back.
"No, we can get out of here without doing something like thAT!" Star pulled herself and Tempest out of the hole with Star aiming her wand out behind them.
'Mega Narwhal Blast' Star shot a wave of magic at the remaining vehicles with all of them dodging rather effortlessly. Chips Bettigan shot some chips at her out of King Dice's vehicle which Star blocked with a magic shield. A deflected one however hit Tempest and would have knocked him off except for Star holding onto him with a free hand. As she grabbed onto Tempest Marco had to swerve widely to avoid a collision nearly throwing them both off with Rico grabbing onto them to hold them in place. As that happened Dennis hit another switch dropping off some spikes from the sides that didn't seem to impact the pursuing vehicles at all making him groan in frustration. Rico, with help from Alexis and Kelly, finally was able to pull Star and Tempest back into the van collapsing into a heap with Rico speaking up at Dennis.
"Weapons status." Dennis worked his control panel and spoke up worriedly.
"All we have are a few perfume bombs for some reason, did someone take our other equipe…" Everyone looked at Ponyhead again who was giggling at nothing still drugged from the tranquilizer.
Kelly spoke up, "I swear that pony is going to be the end of us." At this the third pursuing vehicle had pulled up alongside them with a human sized cigar driving it and three living alcohol glasses who looked tipsy holding up sticks of dynamite. "Dynamite… who just has dynamite on them?" Marco glanced up from the wheel and spoke.
"That is what you find odd?" As the alcohol glasses laughed getting ready to throw Alexis opened the side window with Tempest and Star shot blasts of magic out of it to knock the car onto another street. At this the cigar began yelling at the glasses with a conversation emerging.
"Throw it out the window. Throw it OUUUUT!"
"But innocent people could be hurt."
"Throw it out the window!"
"It'll send the wrong message to children."
"THROW IT OU-" At this the dynamite exploded destroying the car and scattering the glasses with the cigar skidding to a stop before collapsing into a pile of ash. "OOOOOOOOHHHHHH."
As they left him swearing behind them Tempest and Rico pulled out what appeared to be a video game console and turned it on. As it activated they began shooting the perfume bombs at King Dice and Dubois trying to get a good hit. However Chips Bettigan began shooting back at them disabling their perfume launchers with Rico and Dennis looking frustrated at this. Alexis popped open the hatch and began pulling a whack a mole throwing swords at the pursuers with Kelly providing the swords. After a few throws Alexis began focusing on Dubois and actually hit her scooter but Dubois did a spectacular leap and jumped off of another sword Alexis had thrown in her eagerness. These allowed her to land and attach herself onto the side of the van. Alexis went to throw another sword but Rico pulled her down from a chip that would have taken off her head. With a blank look Alexis spoke in a shocked calm manner.
"I almost died to a poker chip." Rico growled in frustration and hit something on the floor speaking up.
"We need more speed; time to fire up the mana reactor." At this Star spoke up panicked again.
"Wait, this thing has a mana reactor!?" Marco glanced back at the green glowing device not knowing what it was and considering everyone was nervous now he became nervous. As he accidentally ran over a hotdog stand Dennis spoke up.
"Rico it's not ready. The control rods will have to be calibrated, and don't even ask me about the magic-238 blanket!" As Dubois got the roof looking into the van Rico shrugged and hit the button with a quick.
"Ok then." The vehicle sped forward leaving King Dice in the dust with DuBois holding on desperately for a few seconds before being thrown off by the speed.
"Ok Marco, you can slow down now." Star called out to Marco and he replied in a desperate voice.
"Ummmm, I can't; there's no brakes." Everyone immediately looked to Dennis with Rico asking.
"No breaks?" Dennis shrugged with Rico smiling. "Well way to commit my man." As the vehicle continued to speed up everyone realized they were at the edge of a construction zone with road running out fast with Tempest speaking up.
"Um just a suggestion, but anyone who does not want to run off that there drop off say Aye." Everyone immediately began screaming Aye in fear holding onto each other until a timer beeped with Rico perking up.
"We've gotten out of crystal range. Hold on people!"
He immediately cut a hole in the air with flaming scissors and leapt through it appearing at the edge of the construction zone directly in their path. Pausing a moment to show off he then cut a bigger one that the van ran through disappearing before it could fall off the road's edge. Smiling at the horrified construction workers he did twin finger guns before backing through the portal closing it behind him. As the workers recovered King Dice pulled up in front of the construction site listening to his mirror for a second before hanging up and speaking to Chips Bettigan. (end music)
"Time to go home. Turns out we lost more assets pursuing them then they stole and I'm not too keen about going head to head with royals." Chips nodded as they turned around and drove back. "But if I catch them in this town again you bet your ass I will teach them a lesson on what happens to people who humiliate me."
Meanwhile Dubois got up from her tumble shaking her head and looking around in exasperation and pulled out her tracking device. After looking at it a few seconds she nodded and cut another portal leaping through.
The van skidded to a stop not far from where the Goblin Dogs food truck was wrecked, with Troblin and Roy looking up in shock, with everyone breathing heavily. The back doors opened with everyone immediately rushing out of them to 'safety' with Star immediately leaping onto the ground hugging it and speaking.
"Oh stable ground, I missed you so much." Everyone chuckled as they straightened themselves out still woozy from their ride with Rico speaking up.
"Well that could've been worse." As if to insult him two portal cuts were made and DuBois stepped through the portal looking in better shape than they were despite her rough treatment. "…" He glances at everyone who is looking at DuBois in shock. "Oh you've got to be joking."
"No jokes here." DuBois focused down Marco in her gaze. "Princess Marcia Turdina, you are being taken into custody of the St. Olga Princess retrieval board; do not resist." Everyone got into a fighting stance with Star leaping in front of them and shot a spell at DuBois 'Spider in a Top Hat!' A smallish spider leapt out of the wand confusing everyone for a second before his hat turned into a Gatling gun with the spider shouting.
"WAR CRYYYYYYY!"
DuBois leapt back in a Matrix style move dodging and twirling her knife in front of her blocking the bullets she didn't dodge. Everyone watched as this continued for about a minute until the spider seemingly ran out of bullets with only a handful having so much as scraped her. The group looked at each other in shock for a second before charging in unison. DuBois acted with swift grace dodging magical shots to body slam Alexis into Dennis knocking them both back into the van so hard the doors shut behind them. Kelly began throwing swords in rapid succession but all she managed to do was rip Marco's hoodie as DuBois dodged them. Before she could apologize DuBois scooped her up and threw her at Tempest who dived to dodge her leaving him close enough for DuBois to grab him and throw him into Star. Marco leapt to hit her but his karate chop just bounced off of her leaving him holding his hand in pain. As she shot out a net from the gun barrel in her arm pinning Marco down Rico lit a flame above his head making four copies of him appear with all of them holding what seemed to be a detached half of a scissor in each hand.
"Why fight one bloke when you can fight five baby girl." The five spoke in unison charging at DuBois who engaged in close combat.
Star got up groaning as she pushed off Tempest looking for her wand but couldn't find it. She stopped when the sounds of fighting stopped however making her look up to see a badly damaged DuBois tossing aside a badly hurt Rico and moving towards Marco. Marco struggled to get out of the net but DuBois picked him up in one hand holding him up clenching tightly around his neck. An image of DuBois ripping off Marco's head flew through her head and her vision went green. Star felt her body move on its own as she ran up behind DuBois grabbing onto her head with her hands, wrapped her legs around DuBois's midsection, and yanked up screaming.
"LEAVE MARCO ALONE!" Ripping DuBois's head off in one swift motion she threw the head aside.
Everything seemed to stand still for a moment and then DuBois's body collapsed dropping Marco whom Star ran over and pulled the net off of him. When she had finished pulling she grasped Marco in a hug which he returned greedily as they sat there ignoring the world. After a few minutes movement pulled them out of their reverie with everyone else getting up as best they could. After a few minutes of making sure they were ok and Star finding her wand everyone looked at each other and began chuckling again with Rico speaking.
"Well that could've…" Tempest shot him with magic speaking quickly.
"Let's just go back to the Bounce Lounge please."
The stereotypical looking lawyer went through the last stack of bills counting each and every single bill with a trained eye. Nearby Fulntrut watched him lounging back in an old easy chair while the 'odd squad' waited nervously nearby on the results. They were back at the Bounce Lounge in Fulntrut's 'office', to put it loosely, and had arrived just in time for the debt collector to arrive and mark the Lounge for repossession since no payment had been made. For the last half-hour he had been going through every single bill while listening to what had happened with the money offering no comment aside from confirming the money was in fact legally Fulntrut's. After he went through the last stack he turned to Fulntrut and spoke in a no-nonsense clipped voice.
"The money is in order but there is an issue. Due to the how late the payment is being received and how it was not properly delivered there is a fee attached to your debt at this point." Everyone in took breath at this with Fulntrut responding with a silent nod knowing he had no money to offer at this point.
"Alright, how much?"
"$650."
"Got it!" Everyone looked over at Marco who held up $650 in a single stack and presented it to the debt collector who only offered a raised eyebrow before responding.
"Hmmmmm…" He looked at the tap holding the bills together and tasted it before nodding. "Everything is in order then. The debt has been officially paid off and to you I bid good day." Then without another word he cut open a portal and disappeared before everyone could let out the breath they were holding.
"Well that was convenient." Alexis spoke up getting everyone's attention. "Frankly I've had a long enough day dealing with gangsters and robot bounty hunters, how about we tear up the floor in a good way instead of the bad way." Everyone gave out a cheer and filed out but Marco was stopped by Fulntrut who nodded to him speaking softly.
"Thank you. You have very little history with this place yet you risked and offered so much." Marco shrugged and replied matter-of-factly.
"This place means a lot to Star and her friends as well as actually being a good place to just hang." Fulntrut chuckled and nodded to a picture on the side of his office that made Marco double take.
The picture was another group photo of younger versions of River, Bonibell, Fulntrut, King Ponyhead, Buff Frog, Helsinki, and several figures he didn't recognize (Heckapoo, Rhombulus, Omnitraxus Prime, Lily Forest, as well as two other figures. One was green skinned three eyed humanoid female with purple streaked black hair and twisting horns with a set of short wings coming from her back. The other was a lanky green bird man that looked like Dennis except a bit more bulked up and regal.) In the center of the photo however was a young Moon, Star being eerily similar in appearance aside from the skin and eyes, hugging Toffee and kissing his cheek. Marco blinked in appreciation and turned towards Fulntrut who smiled at him warmly and responded.
"This place means far more to those kids then you might think. Now get going and Parrrtay hoodie boy." Marco chuckled and ran out thinking to himself 'Is that just going to be the term for me now, hoodie boy?'
Miss Heinous had finished going through the ruined mansion and had collected everything of value that could be used. She sighed rubbing her eyes at how far she had fallen, to the point where she was scavenging like a rat for supplies. She looked up into a mirror to see her cheeks were becoming visible again making her groan in frustration at how things were going. A knock at the door startled her making her take a moment to compose herself as she turned towards the door and called out.
"Come in." The door opened to reveal Gemini who was carrying several boxes as he shuffled into the room setting them down on the table. "Ah I see you've gotten my hair dye and food. But I must ask what this is?" She pointed to a box that was completely covered making Gemini shrug as he replied.
"Not sure, it was delivered to me by a certain 'Troblin' who found it in the middle of a random wasteland saying it was meant for us but we wouldn't like it." Heinous shrugged and went to open it.
"Well that's just another thing to frustrate my day unfortunately." When she opened it she whooped in shock as she saw DuBois's head in it flickering slightly. "Captain Chantal DuBois?" The head flickered to life as it replied in a defeated tone.
"I am sorry… for the very first time I have failed you in the hunt." Gemini and Heinous looked at each other in shock before Heinous got a determined look on her face and spoke with savage fury.
"No matter, guess I will just have to do the deed myself with you and Gemini. We will find the brats and annihilate them." Her cheek marks fluctuated slightly with DuBois asking Gemini.
"How long until I can be rebuilt?" Gemini glanced around uncomfortably before shrugging eliciting a sigh from DuBois.
Well that was a nice break what's next? *see's what I have planned* Ohhh, a mixture of drama and comedy... I think. Well it's time to resolve some issues in multiple ways at a band concert. Up next we got some 'Boy Band Blues'.
