Alternate Revelations, Vengeance Dishonored ch.3
I OWN AND REGRET NOTHING!
...
Cherry Soda looked down from her mansion in silence. Things had been going great for her...she'd taken control of the Candy Kingdom underworld piece by piece, she'd propped up James to stir up trouble, and she'd killed Braco and kidnapped P-bot.
Everything had been ready for her to make her move...and then the plague hit...after that it was a whirlwind of events: The Crown killer, Bubblegum's numerous scandals, James becoming a Martyr, Bubblegum's heir's now stricken from the line of succession, She now had an incested grandchild on the way...
Cherry knew she should be thrilled to see Bubblegums fall from grace...and yet...she was concerned...everything that had been happening to Bubblegum was not by her design...but someone elses.
This could only mean that someone else had their eyes on Bubblegums kingdom...but who?
Cherry Soda laid back in her chair. She'd accumulated a massive spy network...but they weren't getting anything...just silence...too much silence really...
She shook her head. Their was just too many unknowns! No matter what way she thought about it...the only thing she could think to was let this 'third party' make it's move, let the pieces fall where they may...and just do whatever feels right.
Cherry frowned. It irked her to dance to the strings of another...but what other choice did she have?
...
Star Mertins Smiled at Dr. J. "You have two options; pay what you owe...or we do this the hard way." She said as she cracked her knuckles.
Dr. J. wasn't impressed. He nods to his goons...he groans and turns to them. "You morons! When I 'nod' that's me telling you to attack! honestly, how hard is that to grasp?" He snarls as he smacks the nearest goon upside the head...he then collapses to the ground.
Dr. J pales. "What the? What is this?"
BANG!
"Your final notice." Said Star as she blew out the smoke in her gun.
...
"'Or we do this the hard way?' Really? That's what you went with?" Asked Star's partner Corvo as they jumped across the rooftops.
"Hey, it worked. Didn't it? Gave you the time you needed to poison dart all those guards...by the way; how were you able to kill them AND keep them standing?"
Corvo smirked. "Simple poison that also accelerated rigor mortis rapidly...no big deal really." They arrived outside the Window to Stars attic.
Star rolled her eyes. "Only you could- Suddenly Corvo put a hand to her mouth. "Wait." Whispered Corvo holding Star back.
"What is it?" She asked concerned. "You said that your parents aren't home tonight?" He asked quietly.
Star nodded, that's what they told her this morning. Corvo sighed. "Then we got a problem...I'm seeing three individuals inside standing around your moms chest."
Star tensed but nodded, she activated her wrist-blades and wrist gun. She knew better at this point then to question Corvos dark vision.
Corvo further used his dark vision and see past the walls...as always he couldn't clearly see the individuals..only their numbers, their positions, and that they were all armed.
"Do you think one of the gangs we donked tracked us here?" Asked Corvo. "We'll worry about that later, we need to take care of them quickly before my parents come back." States Star simply.
Corvo nodded as he formulated a plan. "Right, the one in the middle seems to be the biggest and strongest. I'll use my 'pull' to disorient and choke him while I stab him, the one on the left is the closest to the big guy, so I'll be able to put my 'Domino' power on them-
"Which leaves the one on the right to me." Stated Star. Corvo nods and quickly gives her more specifics of her targets positioning in the room.
Star readies her gun and points it to the wall where Corvo tells her to. While Corvo readies his knifes, crossbow and spell.
The mark on his hand glows slightly, they look at each other and nod-
BANG!
ZAP!
GAH!
Star hit her target dead on! And Corvo's 'pull' had flung the big guy out through the attic window and onto the yard with a sickening crunch.
Neither Star or Corvo celebrated this, they immediately ran to make sure their targets were dead. they'd learned through hard experience to 'double tap'.
This was clearly the right call, the unknown assailant on the lawn- although injured -was getting back up. Corvo jumps down and stabs him in the back with both his wrist blades.
The assailant screamed as he threw Corvo off, Corvo quickly used his 'blink' ability to teleport in front of the assailant and shoot him with several of his bolts.
Between the pain of everything...plus the poison on Corvo's weapons...the assailant was starting to keel over...
BANG!
Corvo smiled at the sound of a gunshot in the attic, and said a silent thank you to Star as a gunshot wound magically appeared in the big guys chest...
...A minute earlier...
Star had burst into the attic she spares a quick glance of the unknown assailant on the left, notes that the domino effect seems to have left him down for the count, shots him once more just to be certain. Then turns to the assailant on the right.
The 'right' assailant was down but not out. Star had hit him in the kneecap but he was still(sorta) standing.
'Not for long', thinks Star to herself. Knowing her gun is empty she throws it at his head, knocking him to the ground. Star pounces on him stabbing him with both wrist-blades. She then grabs his head and slams it against the ground over and over again.
BANG!
HOW DARE YOU COME HERE!
BANG!
TO MY HOUSE!
BANG!
ENDANGER MY FAMILY!
BANG!
WAS IT WORTH IT?!
BANG!
WHAT THEY PAID YOU TO DO THIS!?
BANG!
HUH! WAS IT!?
BANG! BANG! BANG!
ZAP!
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!? Shouts Billy as he floods the tree house with his squad cars floodlight.
Robbed of the darkness...the 'assailants' were exposed...as Stars parents...
Finn groaned as he bleed out on the lawn...
Simone also groaned as getting every wound her husband got was compounded by the fact she lacked his strength, endurance and threshold for pain.
Star paled as her brutally beaten mother glared at her, while in a puddle of her own blood and teeth shards...
I am SOOOO grounded. Thinks Star to herself miserably...
Corvo chuckled nervously. "Uh...hello Mr. Mertin...good to finally meet you..." He offered awkwardly. Finn just glared...
