Chapter 5: Who Shot Ya?
(Warning: This chapter contains some upsetting and emotional elements.)
Squit kept driving towards the road while Yakko, Wakko and Pinky looked out through the window looking for Brain.
Yakko: Do you see anything?
Wakko: No. Quick, gimme the flashlight. (Yakko hands the flashlight to Wakko, Wakko turns the flashlight on and opens the window, shouting out Brain's name whilst looking for him) BRAIN! BRAIN! BRAIN, C'MON!
Pinky: BRAIN! BRAIN! (coughs)
Wakko: This flashlight sucks, I can't see anything!
Pinky: This isn't working! (coughs) We need to be out searching in the woods!
Squit: I think he's inside the trunk where the dead bodies are and we just don't know abou-
Yakko: (interrupts Squit) We're not gonna talk about it, got it?!
Wakko: Yeah, I don't think he's in this way. Turn around, go back the other way.
Squit made a u-turn again and began to drive back.
Yakko: This is so fucked up, I was talking to Brain last night!
Squit: Dude, you've just talked to her like 10 minutes ago.
Yakko: No! He called me last night!
Pinky: Wait, what for? (coughs)
Yakko: He was asking me questions.
Wakko: Dude, you didn't tell us about this?
Yakko: He didn't tell anyone, okay?! You don't always have to know anything! He was just...calling to ask me questions and wanted to know stuff. Gun stuff. (the others looked at Yakko concerningly) He was freaking out! (begins to sob) And he talked to me about how he wanted to end his life. (breaks down crying)
Squit was confused about what Yakko was saying. Soon he drove past the SUV slowly as he saw the emptiness inside, he continued driving.
Squit: The SUV's still empty? I'm worried.
Wakko: (looks at Pinky) Pinky, are you okay, man? You've been quiet for the last couple of minutes.
Pinky: What? Oh, no! I'm fine. Just a taste of blood, broken teeth and multiple screwdrivers shoved up my ass, that's all. Now, I know what I taste like. Bitterness. (spits out a broken tooth) Another one bites the dust, am I right? (laughs nervously)
Suddenly out of nowhere, the woman with a hammer on her hand came out of the branches as Squit and the others began to scream for their lives. The woman ran across to the van, jumped through the window and started attacking Yakko. Squit started swerving across the road uncontrollably, Wakko and Pinky began to push and hit the woman, who was attacking Yakko. The woman then stabs Wakko by the shoulder with the back of a hammer as Wakko yelps in pain. Wakko takes out the back of a hammer from his shoulder and throws it on the floor. Pinky begins strangling the woman. Squit then screams as the van is coming towards the tree, the van later crashes towards the tree, which makes the woman fly out of the van, Pinky gets hit by the back of the window, knocking him out unconscious and Squit getting blood on his eyes for unknown reason.
Squit: OH SHIT! IT'S IN MY EYES! Can't see! Get it out!
Wakko: You guys okay?
Squit: IT'S BURNING! IT'S BURNING!
Wakko: What the fuck? (sees the woman in front of the van, covered in blood) Shit! Where's Pinky? (sees Pinky on the floor, unconscious) Pinky. C'mon, get up. It's time to get up now. (then looks at Squit, who has blood in his eyes) Squit! (takes off his hat and hands it out to Squit) Here, borrow my hat. (Squit uses Wakko's hat to wipe the blood off his eyes, Wakko then turns to Pinky and shakes him) Pinky, c'mon! Wake up! (Pinky is still unconscious) Guys, I think he's knocked out! What should I do?
Yakko: (stands up slowly, crying in shock) I knew she had it coming! (gets out of the van and faces towards the left) FUCKING DICK-DANGLING WHORE!
The gunshot came out of nowhere and aimed at Yakko as he fell down, screaming.
Wakko: YAKKO! (as he got out of the van as fast as he could)
Pinky: (as he woke up) WHAT?! WHAT'S GOING ON?!
Squit: WHERE'S YAKKO?! (as he saw Yakko on the ground) YAK!
Wakko: (as saw a woman with a shotgun on her hands) YOU BITCH! (picks up a big, random rock on the floor and throws it at her head, knocking her out) Yak! (he suddenly runs towards Yakko, who was bleeding from his stomach and then sobs softly) Oh God!
Woman: MY BABY! YOU MURDERED MY BABY!
Wakko: OH, FUCK OFF! (as he then lifts up Yakko, who was still screaming and crying in pain and puts him back into the van) C'MON, DRIVE! (shuts the car door)
Squit makes a u-turn once again and begins to drive off from this crazy woman.
Pinky: (sees Yakko covered in blood) Fucking hell! What happened to him?!
Wakko: He's been shot!
Yakko: (cries in pain) Oh God! Wakko! I don't wanna die!
Wakko: Don't worry, big bro! We're gonna get you some help! You're gonna be okay! Now, c'mon! Lie down! (as he lies Yakko down across the seats) Where's the flashlight?! Gimme the flashlight!
Squit: Here! (as he hands Wakko the flashlight, which was on)
Yakko: Wak, I need to tell you something.
Wakko: What, buddy?
Yakko: I won't bother you...anymore. Please help me!
Wakko: Oh, shit! He's losing it. Pinky! Hold this for a minute! (hands the flashlight to Pinky)
Pinky: Fine. (as he holds the flashlight towards Wakko and Yakko)
Wakko: Yakko, I need you to put your feet up.
Pinky: Are we still looking for Brain?
Wakko: Pinky, my bro has been shot right now! We need to worry about him, not Brain! (as he takes off Yakko's jacket and shirt to see the bullet lodged in his skin)
Pinky: Well, we do have to stop the bleeding. It's very, very deep right now. You need to take out the bullet from the wound. (hands out a pair of tweezers to Wakko) Here, use this!
Wakko: Thanks, man.
Yakko: I don't wanna die!
Wakko: Yakko, c'mon! We have to stop the bleeding! (as he uses his tweezers to put out the bullet from his wound, Yakko then screams in pain) I need bandages! (looks at Pinky) PINKY!
Pinky: What?
Wakko: BANDAGES! (then turns to Yakko) C'mon, Yak! Talk to me! Talk to me! Please.
Pinky: (looked through the first-aid kit as he saw an empty packet of bandages) Wak, there are no more fucking bandages!
Wakko: Pinky, I need you to talk to Yakko! I need him talking, I need you to keep him awake.
Pinky: Aight. (comes closer to Yakko) Yak! Yak! C'mon, stay awake! Do you remember the time you practised so hard on the lyrics for Yakko's World and you kept on failing but then you managed to get it right at the end?
Wakko: (looking unimpressed) Wow. Really, dude, really? Is that the best you can come up with?
Pinky: What? (then gets frustrated) OH FUCKING HELL, WAK! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO FUCKING SAY, YOU TALK TO HIM THEN!
Yakko: Oh my God! What happened? Where am I bleeding? Where am I bleeding? (sees his bleeding wound in his stomach) Oh God! I don't wanna die!
Wakko: Yak, you need to calm down!
Yakko: I DON'T WANNA DIE!
Pinky: (holds Yakko down) Shhh! Yakko, please calm down! We're gonna help you. (turns to Wakko) Any ideas?
Wakko: I've got one. Just stay right there, Yakko. Don't move.
Pinky: You have to stay there and I promise you, we're gonna get that crap whore for doing this. Okay?
Yakko: (as he saw Wakko getting out a lighter and a small piece of paper from his pocket) Wait, what are you doing?!
Wakko: I sorry, Yak, but I have to do this. (picks up a hammer and puts it in Yakko's mouth) Here, put your mouth on this. (Yakko begins to freak out and panic) I'm so sorry, bro. (as he then puts a piece of paper onto the wound, turns on his lighter and shoves a small fire on the paper across the wound, Yakko is screaming heavily) Shhh, it's almost over. Just, hold on. (gets a small bottle of whiskey out of his backpack) He needs a doctor.
Squit: If you see one, just let me know!
Wakko opens up a bottle of whiskey, drinks a bit and then pours a little bit onto Yakko's wound, which makes him scream again. Yakko then calms down but sees someone running to the van as he screams again. Squit pulled over as quickly as he could. The others saw a small man with a brown jacket as it looked like…
Squit: BRAIN?!
Brain: GUYS!
Pinky: BRAIN! (as he got out of the van and hugged Brain, who was covered in blood, Squit and Wakko also got out of the van and hugged Brain) Brain, it's okay! It's me! It's Pinky! C'mon, let's get back in the van!
Brain: (panicking) Get off me! I don't wanna go!
Pinky: Dude, c'mon!
Brain: I don't wanna go!
Pinky: Well, you have to! We've got bigger problems! (Pinky and the others proceed to lift Brain up and put him in the van, Brain tried to escape)
Yakko: (looks at Brain hugging Pinky) Brain, it's that you?
Pinky: Guys, what's wrong with him?
Brain: (shaking unnervingly) I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die!
Pinky: Brain, you're not gonna die! Why is he keep saying that?!
Wakko: I think he's going in shock.
Pinky: What the fuck is that mean?!
Wakko: He's repeating stuff!
Brain was about to look at Yakko but Pinky stopped him.
Pinky: Don't look! Don't...fucking...look! Don't look! You'll go to hell if you look!
Brain: Pinky, what the hell happened to him?!
Pinky: You don't wanna know! (as he's still hugging Brain, who's still in shock) Brain, I promise you, you're gonna hear the sounds of her face cracking when I smash her with a FUCKING BRICK!
Yakko: (shivers) I feel cold.
Wakko: Is there something we can cover my brother up with?
Squit: Here, take my jacket!
Squit takes his jacket off and gives it to Wakko, Wakko puts Squit's jacket around Yakko.
Brain: (still shaking and panicking) Please, don't make me go to hell! Please! I don't wanna go to hell!
Pinky: Brain, stop saying that! Okay? You're not going to hell. How do we fix him?!
Brain: Oh no. She ripped your pants.
Pinky: Wakko, what do we do?
Wakko: I DON'T KNOW!
Pinky: WAK, WE NEED TO BANDAGE HIM UP, HE'S BLEEDING!
Wakko: We don't have anything!
Pinky: Here! Help me get this shirt off me! (Wakko helps Pinky take off his shirt as he wraps around Brain's deep cut on his back) Brain, look at me. We're gonna get you better.
Wakko: I think he's gonna need more medical help.
Pinky: It's fine! Stop touching it!
Squit continues to drive on the road while Brain is slightly shaking uncontrollably. Yakko was sleeping. Wakko and Pinky were sitting on their seats silently.
Pinky: God, I've never seen so much blood in my entire life. Just like when I pushed a classmate off the monkeybars, who bullied me. When I was younger, there was a classmate, who bullied me throughout elementary school. I cried and cried until I reached my breaking point. During recess, I finally got revenge on that bully by kicking him off the monkeybars, fell over and smashed his head in. Then I got my teacher and I said to her that he just fell. And I haven't told anyone about this ever since, not even all of y'all. Now that I've told y'all...now you know. (he then smiled evilly)
They all looked at Pinky concerningly, especially Brain.
Brain: Okay! Now it concerns me!
Pinky: Who knows? (picks up a hammer)
Brain: Pinky, what the hell are you doing now?!
Pinky: (comes closer to Squit, getting angrier) Squit, next time I see that bitch again, I won't hesitate to smash her FUCKING FACE IN!
Brain: Wrong, because you'll never gonna see her again!
Pinky: Fine. (sits back down again) But if we do, I'll smash her FUCKING SKULL! And you know what I'm gonna do with that hammer, I'm gonna beat her with it. I'm gonna beat her with it until her CRAINIUM CRACKS AND I'M GONNA WATCH HER BRAINS LEAK OUT FROM HER FUCKING EYE SOCKETS! (pants in anger) THIS...MEANS...WAR!
Yakko: (cries) It's all my fault. Guys, I'm so sorry that everything has happened. I'm such a fool! I got us lost in the woods. I said to take the shortcut and I wasn't even thinking straight. Everything happened because of me! (sobs emotionally) I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!
Wakko: That's not true.
Yakko: It is! I could never make it up to you. I could never give back what was taken.
Squit: Okay, we'll just keep taking this road and surely it'll take us somewhere like...a town...or...some place with people...and phones. We'll get help eventually. Sometime, we're gonna get outta this.
Squit kept driving across the road. Pinky was holding a hammer with pure anger while Yakko was lying down, sobbing quietly. Wakko and Brain just sat there quietly. Will they find their way home?
