Chapter Nine: Up to You


CRASH!

KABOOM!

POW!

WHAM!

"AHHHH!"

"RUUUUN!"

"HEEELP!"

These were the only noises and conversations that could be heard anymore. No one lived in peace. Everything was a disaster. Torture and fear was all that was left. How could anything possibly get any better!? How could anything possibly get any worse…?

As Keys Lime, a mutant murderer walked through Inkopolis Square, she thought about everything. What would happen? Who would die next? If she deserved to die?

"I need help!" she shouted. "Please!" Collapsing to the ground, she fell asleep.

"Maybe *sniff* I'll wake up, realizing this was all a dream." she told herself. But her dream it was not.

Keys got up. She started walking towards the square. Keys Lime looked at the rubble of Inkopolis Square. She walked in a straight line, sometimes over rubble of smashed buildings and sometimes over cracked concrete. She stopped halfway through the square, looking at where The Shoal used to stand. She turned her entire body to it.

The girl walked closer, breathing heavily but silently. She said to herself, "Why…? Why did I…" the rest trailed off. She saw a few drops of blue goo lying on some of the debris, legs sticking out from underneath part of it. She recognized the shoes, and dug threw the rubble until she found a male inkling's face.

The girl then drug him out and felt for pulse, but to her dismay, felt nothing. She started doing CPR.

Hub!

Hub!

Hub!

She pressed his chest repeatedly.

Hub!

Hub!

Hub!

"Wake up!" the girl shouted through tears.

Hub!

Hub!

Hub!

She pressed over and over… until she collapsed on the body. She stared at his face, a tear falling away onto his shirt.

"What did I do… to deserve this…?" she asked. "What's wrong with me!? The girl started now walk away from the body, and over to a huge crack in the floor that had opened up. She looked in. Inside was a nuke, ready to go off any minute.

"I… I hope this works." she muttered. Out from her pocket, the girl drew a can. She opened it up, and a Splashdown entered her body, still looking down into the large gap. The boy was now laying in yellow ink, since the inkling girl had dragged him in it. But she didn't realize that, and with one wishful look back, she jumped.

Using her Splashdown, she crushed the guards. Then tapped 'cancel' on the screen. She then opened up the bomb and took all of the cords out.

"Die… stupid… bomb!" she breathed heavily.

She opened up another can. It was a Booyah Bomb.

"Let's do this." She equipped her good gear: Backwards Hat, the Annaki Polpo-Pic Tee and the Mint Dakronics. She grabbed her ultimate weapon, the Inkbrush, and slid her Ink Tank on. She inked the ground and hid beside the elevator. And as someone came out alone, Keys knew who it was immediately.

Boss.


Author's Notes

Woomy~

Hi! So... there was one review I got by Pink Hedgie 74 that was just too nice to not reply too, but, since she/he was a guest, it is not possible.

Pink Hedgie 74: "Hey Obliviblur, I understand if you're drained out from school. I still like your fanfic and I will never judge you on the length of your pages. If it makes you feel better I fall asleep when I'm home from school. xD"

Me (Obliviblur): "Thanks so much! I fall asleep when I'm home from school, too! Also, thanks for understanding that school is just... you know. That 'ugh' feeling every Monday. Lolz! Anyways, thanks!"

Well, that's it! One Or two more chapters and we're done!

Obliviblur, out!
