Last time our heroes, after negating the nullification field that was disrupting the girls' powers, located Bloom and Sky. Diaspro had set it up so Sky was forced to watch Bloom drown. Max punched through the glass container, freeing Bloom. Shampoo then administered CPR, saving Bloom and repaying the young Amazon's life debt. Our heroes then split up to locate (and maybe kill) Diaspro.
Note: I've had so many ideas on who gets to kill Diaspro that I couldn't settle on just one, so I've decided to write all of them down. I hope you'll be happy with my creativity.
On with the show!
Chapter 11: More Than One Way
Back on the surface Aaron was attending to Sky's minor, but multiple wounds. The whole ordeal that Diaspro put him through left him cut, bruised and burned over most of his body.
"You're lucky to have such minor injuries," said Aaron as he cleaned and bandaged a cut on Sky's forearm, "I've seen a lot worse."
"I'm still having a hard time believing that Diaspro could have done all of this," said Flora, "Even after all that happened."
"I thought I knew her," said Sky, "who would have thought she'd do something so despicable."
"Elise found out that Diaspro was on anti-psychotics," said Tecna, "She must have been off her medication for a long time for her mind to become so unstable."
"Speaking of Elise," said Shawn, "Why did she ask if Max had a birthmark?"
"Your guess is as good as mine," said Bloom while Flora provided her with a change of dry clothing.
"You sure you're okay, sweetie?" asked Flora.
"Couldn't be better," said Bloom, "But I'd like to stay away from dangerous situations for a while. No, I'm more worried about Diaspro. There's a lot of angry people looking for her right now, I wouldn't trade anything to be in her cheap, tacky shoes."
Diaspro meanwhile was running for her life. She knew her plan to destroy Bloom and Sky had failed, and that their friends were looking for her. If they found her, she would surely be killed. Yet in her unstable mind she wasn't completely defeated.
"This is just a minor setback," she said out loud as she hurried down a corridor to an emergency escape ship, "I will have my revenge!"
She had just reached the door to the chamber that housed her escape ship, when there was a loud shout from behind her. "STOP!!"
Here are the multiple choices of who deals with Diaspro. First up, Stella.
"I said Stop, Diaspro!!" shouted Stella, her staff pointing at the lunatic.
"Why, Stella," said Diaspro, "You're not very pretty when you're angry, did you know that?"
"Shut up!!" snapped Stella, "I'm very upset right now. First you try to ruin the love life of my best friend. Then you kidnap her and Sky. Then you try to kill Bloom. You've gone too far, so now I'm gonna kill you!!"
"You don't have what it takes to kill me," said Diaspro calmly, "You don't have the guts."
"Wanna bet!?!" exclaimed Stella as she raised her staff, "SOLARIAN SUNBURST!!!" A huge beam of sunlight radiated from Stella's staff and shot at Diaspro's head. The beam caught Diaspro head on at a range of less than ten feet. She screamed in agony as her eyes burned away.
Just then Jill, Brandon and Michael came running down the corridor. They saw Stella standing over the still form of Diaspro. Stella's spell had not only burned away Diaspro's eyes, but had also cooked her brains from the inside, while leaving her with a horrible case of sunburn, adding insult to injury.
"You okay, honey?" asked Brandon.
"I think so, snookums," said Stella in a shaky tone, "Did I really just kill someone?"
"You destroyed a monster in human form," said Jill, "It's natural for you to feel remorse for your actions, but it'll pass."
"Only one question," said Michael as he stood over the sunburned body of Diaspro, "Original Recipe, or Extra Crispy?"
"Dude!" exclaimed Brandon, "That's terrible."
"Well I had to say something," said Michael."
That's probably how it could have happened, but consider this scenario. Next; Andrew.
"Stop or I'll shoot!!" shouted Andrew, his huge pistol aimed for Diaspro's heart.
"You wouldn't shoot an unarmed, innocent girl," said Diaspro in a seductive tone, "Would you?"
"Can the sweet talk, bitch!" snapped Andrew, "I'm married. Now stop!"
"Make me," said Diaspro in an uncaring tone, "I'll bet you don't have the guts to shoot me."
"You're right," said Andrew as he holstered his pistol, "I won't shoot you."
"I knew it," grinned Diaspro.
"Guns really aren't my thing," said Andrew as he drew from his pocket something small and square, "I prefer things that go 'boom!' over stuff 'bang!' Think fast!!"
"Think what?" said Diaspro as Andrew threw the object at Diaspro. It landed on the back of her hand and stuck there. She tried to pull it off but it clung to her skin like glue. She then noticed that there was a small digital clock on the object that was counting down. The counter had less than five seconds left. Andrew had thrown a sticky bomb.
"NO!!" shouted Diaspro just before the bomb exploded, reducing the lunatic to small, wet chunks of meat and blood.
Just then Jill, Ryoga and Michael ran down the corridor and met up with Andrew. "Are you alright?" asked Jill, not concerned that her husband was covered in exploded bits of madwoman.
"What happened to Diaspro?" asked Ryoga.
"It appears she went out with a bang," said Michael.
"That's not funny," said Andrew, "Besides, she went out with a boom."
Next up; Brandon"Stop right there, Diaspro!!" shouted Brandon, his sword raised for the kill.
"What are you going to do, hero boy," said Diaspro, "Give me a paper cut?"
"You really are nuts!" he said, "First you mess with Sky's head, then you kidnap him and Bloom. You force him into horrible situations, then you try to kill the love of his life. You're worse than yesterdays' garbage."
"And just what are you going to do about it?" asked Diaspro.
"This," answered Brandon. Before Diaspro could blink, Brandon rushed forward and stabbed her in the heart. A look of disbelief dawned on her face as Brandon pulled the energy blade from her chest. She fell to the ground, dead.
Just then Max, Stella and Michael ran down the corridor towards Brandon.
"You okay, snookums?" asked Stella.
"I'll be fine," said Brandon as he looked at the still form of Diaspro, "I just wish it didn't have to come to this."
"Would you rather that she got away?" asked Max.
"No," answered Brandon.
"Then you did the right thing," said Max.
"I think it's safe to say," said Michael, "That Diaspro got the point!"
"That's just awful!" exclaimed Stella.
"Well I had to say something," said Michael.
And now; Elise.
"Hold it right there, psycho bitch!!" shouted Elise.
"Why are you doing this?" asked Diaspro, "I mean, you're a witch. Why help a fairy?"
"Bloom happens to be my friend," said Elise, "She helped me in my hour of need, now I'm repaying the favor by killing you."
"And just how do you expect to kill me?" asked Diaspro.
"By taking advantage of the fact that you're standing in a puddle of water!" said Elise, "ZAKERGA!!"
She sent a highly concentrated burst of yellow lighting at Diaspro, electrocuting her. She fell to the ground, dead.
Just then Morgan, Andrew and Michael came running down the corridor. "What happened?" asked Andrew.
"It's finished," said Elise, "The lunatic is dead."
"Shocking," said Michael as she stared at the blackened remains of Diaspro.
"I was going to say that!!" exclaimed Morgan.
Now it's Musa's turn.
"Don't move or you're dead, Diaspro!!" shouted Musa.
"What are you going to do?" asked Diaspro, "Bore me to death with your pathetic noise?"
"Oh you did not just dis my music!" said Musa, "You've so got to die!!" With that Musa sent a concentrated sonic burst at Diaspro. The sudden influx of loud music caused Diaspro's eardrums to explode, destroying a good chunk of her brain as well. She fell to the ground, dead.
Just then Riven, Julie and Michael came running up to Musa. "Are you alright?" asked Riven.
"I think so," said Musa in a shaky tone, "I really just killed someone."
"She had it coming," said Julie, "Diaspro deserved everything she got, that and more."
"Well one thing's for certain," said Michael, "Whatever hell Diaspro is in right now, it's surely a quiet one."
And now, here's Julie!"Hold it right there, bitch!!" shouted Julie as she aimed her rifle at Diaspro's head.
"What are you going to do?" asked Diaspro, "Shoot me? You don't have the guts."
"You left me with no choice," said Julie, "You used my image in your twisted scheme. For that there is only one course of action I can take. So give my best regards to the devil, you'll be seeing him in a second." With that Julie pulled the trigger and shot Diaspro in the heart. The madwoman fell to the floor, dead.
Just then Fay, Stella and Michael came running down the corridor.
"F#ck," said a disappointed Fay, "I wanted to kill her."
"You can kill the next lunitic we face," said Julie.
"Sounds good," said Fay, "But right now I only want your face, okay?"
"Thought you'd never ask," said Julie. With that she and Fay kissed.
"Oh get a room you two," said Michael.
"My thoughts exactly," said Stella.
There are so many more ways for Diaspro to die, but I've run out of puns for Michael to say, so let's cut to what really happened.
Diaspro whirled around to see who had yelled at her. All she saw before blacking out was the wooden stock of a shotgun. "Idiot," said Sally-Ann as she tied a rope around Diaspro's arms and legs. She then began dragging the unconscious lunatic back up to the surface.
"Max," she said into her com-link, "You can call off the search, I've got her hogtied."
The end of chapter 11. Next chapter it all comes together. Reviews will be rewarded with cake and pie. See you next time!
