"Perish foul fiend!" Prunella cried as she swung her katana at Sue Ellen
The martial arts tomboy doing her best to avoid the crazy and unpredictable poodles attacks
One of Prunella's swings had managed to slice off one of the little cats pigtails
"Hya!" Sue Ellen cried as she saw a brief opening. Giving Prunella a mighty kick to the gut
"Ack!" the poodle gagged, falling to her knees and dropping her sword "Henry Screever! I've been poised by a Mushroom of the Macabre!"
The poodle puked a little
Sue Ellen felt the tears forming in her eyes as she pulled out another kunai knife
"I'm sorry, but you have to be put down," Sue Ellen said raising her knife over Prunella's head
"Daughter of Destiny! Look out!" the halicination of Henry Screever cried to Prunella
The poodle rolled out of the way before Sue Ellen could land the killing blow, grabbing her sword as well. Which she then swung at Sue Ellen's legs
The tomboy feline escaped by her shoelaces before becoming a peg leg pirate. Jumping away from the attack just barley
Prunella was now standing again, ready for another round
Sue Ellen got into a fighting stance "I can't risk getting up close while she has that thing," she thought
She looked over at the machine gun she has disarmed her opponent of earlier
"Thou shalt not have the wand of the Daughter of Destiny!" Prunella cried figuring out what she was up to. She charged at the cat
Sue Ellen ducked Prunella's swing, yet the poodle followed up by with a swift back swing. Smashing the handle of the sword into the feline's jaw
Sue Ellen hit the ground with a thud
"Muwhahaha!" Prunella laughed "Lord Modlywart shall never succeed in his dark plans,"
Sue Ellen began to get up, holding Prunella's gun.
"Long live Modlywart!" Sue Ellen said as she pulled the trigger
"Click" the gun sounded
"Huh?" Sue Ellen said
"Click!" "Click!" Sue Ellen suddenly remembered she knocked the gun out of Prunella's hand after she was done shooting it. It had no bullets now.
"Ha! Thou can't use my wan..." Sue Ellen threw the gun itself at Prunella
The weapon bouncing off Prunella's head
Prunella groaned in pain, her head throbbing from the blow
"HYA!" Sue Ellen said said leaping into the air to finish her off. Knife in hand
Yet just before unconsciousness hit, Prunella stuck out her sword into the air. Impaling Sue Ellen through the chest
"Modlywart...shall be...vanquished..." Prunella passed out and fell on Sue Ellen's dead body. Unconscious but alive
Meanwhile
"Think they're following us?"Slink asked trying to catch his breath. They were in another wooded area of the island
"I don't think so," Fern said
"Freeze!" a voice barked out
The duo looked over to see Molly, shotgun in hand
"You! You hang out with Four Eyes. Where is that murder?"
"Four Eyes? Murder?" Fern said "Wait! Arthur killed someone!?"
"Heck yeah, he killed my buddy Binky," Molly said
"Binky's dead!?" Slink said in shock
"He dead in my arms," Molly said. A tear rolled down her cheek
"I...I can't believe Arthur was capable of such a thing," Fern said
"I can't believe that puny punk could take Binky down," Slink said
"Look you know where you buddy is not?" Molly asked again pointing her shotgun at them still
"We don't know," Fern said
"Ya, we were just getting away from some maniac with a machine gun back there," Slink said
"Machine gun eh?" Molly said interested
"Look, we shouldn't just be standing around," Fern said "Who knows who else is out there and playing?"
"Good point," Molly said "Drop the weapons!"
"What?" Fern and Slink said
"You heard me! Drop the goods!" Molly said
"But we're friends Molly!" Slink said
"I don't need some patched up twig dragging me down. Or a weasel ratting out four eyes and whoever else he might be with," Molly said "All I care about is justice for my friend and leader of our gang,"
"And I'm not upset Binky's gone to?" Slink said "Plus what if he does have company? Might not be a bad idea to have some backup,"
"I don't need backup," Molly said to Slink "I'm..."
Fern took this moment to whip out her gun and unload on Molly, emptying the whole clip
"Holy shit!" Slink said
However, Molly didn't go down
"...Invincible," Molly finished her sentence and shooting Fern
"How are you...?" Slink got shot to
"Sorry Slink, yet you were just a transfer student from Mighty Mountain. I told the others you weren't Tough Customer Material, yet Rattles insisted we let you in. Nice knife by the way though,"
Molly took both their weapons and continued the hunt for Arthur
On another part of the island.
"The directions say we should be there soon," Brain said
"You think they'll be other useful stuff at the bunker?" Marina asked
Hopefully," Barin said "At the very least we'll have superior protection against any threats. Plus a great way to aid our friends
"I hope Prunella's okay," Marina said starting to think about her
Back at the gas station
"They were just hanging there...Just gave up..." Muffy mumbled
"Geez," Buster said "You don't think anyone else has though of...that?" Buster said
"I don't know," Arthur said "I couldn't imagine such a thing,"
"You don't think Francine..!?" Muffy began
"Whoa! No Way!" Buster said "She's a competitor, she'd never give up on anything,"
"Yeah, plus she's so athletic and..."
George began to freak out. He opened a pack of paper bags nearby and began to breath into one
"George?" Arthur and Buster said
"The blood...It was everywhere..." he began
"Blood? Who's blood?" Buster asked
"No, I-I can't tell you," George said
"Something happened to Francine?" Muffy said piecing it together "WHAT HAPPENED TO FRANCINE GEORGE!? WHAT DID YOU DO!?"
Muffy pulled out a grenade
"Whoa!" Arthur and Buster said freaked out
"Start talking! Muffy demanded
"I swaer it wasn't my fault! George said "Before I hid out in the gas station I was running through some woods when I..."
"When you what!?" Muffy said
"Francine...she's dead." Geroge said "Someone shot her, but I swear it wasn't me,"
Muffy was broken then
"Francine's dead," Muffy said "My best friend is gone. I-I..."
Muffy began to cry
"Muffy I'm so..." Arthur said trying to comfort her
"I have nothing to live for anymore." Muffy said
She moved her free hand to the grenade
"RUN!" Arthur cried
A few moments later, the gas station exploded into a giant fireball
Arthur, George and Buster were lucky enough get out in time. Sadly, the fire quickly spread to the tanks outside
And once they exploded, some shrapnel pierced George as they ran away from the station
