Suddenly, a bomb
dropped from above.
"HOLY SH-" Matthew-Kaine was blown
up into pieces before he could finish. Iamthey snapped his fingers
and disappeared before the bomb hit the ground.
Meanwhile,
four of Dogbert's biggest enemies - Cyclone868, FlameStarter, SWAT
Sniper, and ODST-SGT ambushed him in his private office.
"You
are under arrest, Dogbert. We have come to end your pathetic life",
FlameStarter said as he and the other three pulled swords out of
their pockets.
Dogbert yelled "Wtf?"
"Don't try
to resist."
"Resist? How can I possibly resist?"
Still seated at his desk, Dogbert shook an empty fist helplessly, the
perfect image of a tired, frightened man. "This is murder,
you flaming traitors! How can I be any threat to you?"
He
turned desperatley to Cyclone868. "Cyclone, you're the telepath.
What am I thinking right now?"
Cyclone frowned and cocked his
head. His blade dipped. "What are you talking about? I'm no
telepath!" Suddenly, a smear of shining metal hurtled at
lightning speed from behind the desk.
Cyclone's head bounced when
it hit the floor.
ODST-SGT gasped, "Cyclone!"
The
headless corpse, still standing, twisted as its knees buckled, and a
thin sigh escaped from the trachea as it folded to the floor.
Dogbert
jumped over the desk and proceeded to attack the remaining three.
"It
doesn't..." SWAT Sniper swayed.
His blade clattered to the
floor. A small, neat slit in the middle of his forehead showed light
from the back of his head.
"...hurt..."
He pitched
forward onto his face, and lay still.
Dogbert stood at the
doorway.
"Help! Help!" Dogbert cried like a man in
desperate fear for his life. "Security - someone! Help
me! Murder! Treason!
Then he smiled.
He held one finger
to his lips, and, astonishingly, he winked.
In the blank second
that followed, while FlameStarter and ODST-SGT could do no more than
angle their blades to guard, Dogbert swiftly stepped over the bodies
toward his desk, reversed his blade, and drove it in a swift,
surgically precise stab down through his desktop.
"That's
enough of that."
Then he turned, lifting his weapon,
appearing to study it as one might study the face of a beloved friend
one has long thought dead.
"If only you knew," he said
softly, perhaps speaking to the flamers, or perhaps to himself, or
perhaps to the bloodstained blade lifted now in mocking salute, "how
long I have been waiting for this..."
