Chapter 2 is up!
Time to find out about Greta's past and...
Disclaimer: I don't own any Gremlins characters except for Angela
And now, CONTINUE...
"Well, it started when I was in this town named Kingston falls and I was spawned from a Gremlin named Stripe, he was an evil Gremlin with a cold heart who was spawned from Gizmo." Greta started, turning her head to look up as she said it.
"Yeah, and what happened?" Brain questioned, his hand still on her shoulder.
"Well, me and Stripe had some wonderful memories together especially that time when he shot a cheater in poker after I told him the Gremlin was cheating." Greta continued and giggled at her last statement.
"Yeah, yeah then what happened?" Brain grumbled, getting bored of her romantic talk.
"Well, then we all went to the theatre and Stripe then went somewhere so I tried to find him cause I was getting worried, I also escaped the theatre when it got blown up." Continued Greta.
"Yeah... then what?" Brain questioned again.
"Well, I then finally found him in a department store, well I saw him through the window in a garden centre and... and..." Greta continued, whilst choking on her words on the last part.
"And..." Brain said quietly, whilst smirking.
"GIZMO KILLED HIM!" Greta screamed, nearly crying in the process of saying it.
"Really? How?" Brain asked, curious.
"He came racing down in a toy car when Stripe had almost won the battle and Stripe was about to shoot him until... he opened the blinds and the sunlight went through, I was protected at the time because of my sunglasses from the theatre." Greta continued, her big lips then turned to a frown, thinking about the memory.
"And through one blast of Sunlight Stripe was dying, plus, he had his finger in the fountain so the boils on his back also stopped him from doing anything. After that, it cursed me to know that he was dead, I loved him Brain, more than anyone, then I swore to myself that if I ever saw that Mogwai again... God help him! I also stayed hidden for days on the streets so no-one would see me." Greta continued whilst going through different emotions.
"But, if you love him how come you cling to other people and smooch them and, how did you even get in this building?" Brain questioned again.
"Well, about the building, I came in because there were Gremlins; it was a chance to be with my own kind again, reminded me back to the old days, good times. And about my flirty nature, I come on to you and Forster because you have Stripe's brains and your intelligence reminds me of him and as for Forster he is basically the human version of Stripe to be honest so, I imagine that it's him, looking back at me. And the reason I want to help you is because Stripe was my only love and I would be doing this for him." Greta finished.
Brain just nodded, taking everything in. This Stripe character looked like he could be a BIG part in his revenge for Gizmo; this was getting better and better. Brain then got a formulated idea in his head; to him, this was going to be spectacular! He then turned to Greta and grinned mischievously.
"Hey Greta." Brain said, whilst grinning evilly.
"What? You have something on your mind Brainy?" Greta asked curiously.
"Oh yes, and I think that you'd like it." Brain said, his grin got even wider.
"What is it?" Greta questioned, she was curious to know why he was acting the way he was.
"Well, I was thinking, what if we somehow brought this Stripe or whatever his name is back to life you could get revenge together on Gizmo plus, with my brains and his sadistic destruction or whatever he's good at. We will make an excellent and civilised team." Brain explained, whilst grinning.
"You always have to say civilised don't you? Stripe won't do with it, he won't care for it." Greta stated.
"TOUGH! He will have to! But, deal?" Brain replied.
"Deal." Greta said flirtily "but, how are we going to bring him back?" she asked, whilst putting her hands on her hips.
"Well, I'll need the ingredients to make a healing potion besides; he's not the only one I plan on bringing back." Brain replied, whilst buttoning up his jacket.
"Really? Who else do you plan on bringing back?" Greta questioned, whilst widening her eyes in surprise.
"Well, let's just say that I'll be bringing back 4 little Mogwai's that started it all in this building." Brain replied.
Greta just nodded, she knew who he meant but, she was looking forward to see her former master again more than anybody.
"Now come-on we gotta get the goo in some extractors and then get out of here." Brain said, as he started walking and was also trying to find the way to the stairs that he came up from.
Greta just nodded and followed him as they toured down flights of stairs to get to where Brain's dead army was to find Daffy, Lenny and George's gooey remains. When he finally found them he pulled out 3 of the 4 extractors he had from his pockets and extracted the goo up them. Greta, however, was holding up her bridal gown and was gritting her teeth together as she looked around. Brain spotted this and found it really annoying.
"Greta, put down your dress, honestly." Brain whined as he put the extractors in his pockets.
"BUT, I DON'T WANT TO GET IT DIRTY THERE'S GREMLIN BLOOD ON THE FLOOR FOR GOD'S SAKE!" Greta screamed loudly.
"OK! OK! Don't get carried away, SHEESH!" Brain spat at her "but, it's technically..."
"UNCIVILISED! Yes I know! Can't wait till Stripe comes back! Then I won't have to listen to you going on!" Greta spat back at him.
Brain just gritted his teeth. "I'm trying not to lose my temper with you, deary." Brain growled through clenched teeth.
"Ha! You're so cute when you're angry!" Greta replied seductively.
"Let's just get to Mohawk's burnt body, shall we!" Brain whined at her, before whipping round and walking off quickly.
Greta just smiled, giggled and walked after him.
After consuming part of Mohawk's ashes, Brain and Greta looked around for a place to escape well, it was mostly Brain doing that as Greta never had that superior intellect he had. Brain then spotted a pipe on the side, one of them big ones that they both could fit in. He then looked out the Smokey, dirty window close by and saw that it actually goes to a garbage box, he smiled at this, thinking that it would be a good place to hide until nightfall, he then looked at his watch it was actually 7:00pm and it was actually quite dark and it was convenient for him because it was Winter and it usually starts getting dark early then, he then grinned.
"Come-on Greta, down that pipe, NOW!" Brain whined, whilst coming up to her and trying to beckon her down the pipe.
He knew that she wouldn't like the smell of trash and would be complaining a lot especially because her stupid bride gown getting dirty so, he just wanted to get this over with.
"WAIT! I need to see where that pipe goes to first!" Greta objected before running to the window that Brain was looking out of.
Brain once again slapped his forehead; he knew where this was going. The next thing he saw was Greta whip round to him like lightning and started poking him in the chest.
"I'M NOT GOING DOWN THAT PIPE!" Greta screamed out loudly.
Brain only smirked. "What's the matter? Afraid of a little garbage Greta? Awwwww, Stripe will be so disappointed in you." Brain teased, and he was nearly cracking up in the process of teasing her.
"Shut up Brain! I just don't want to get dirty!" Greta spat at him, whilst walking backwards to the pipe.
"Heh, tough luck cause your gonna get dirty." Brain replied whilst walking to her with his hands towards her.
"NO WAY AM I-." Greta started but was cut off as Brain pushed her down the pipe.
Brain just cringed as he heard all the noise she made as she was going down and also heard a BIG thump at the bottom and a scream was heard. He then quickly looked out the window again to see if any humans were out there who heard Greta, luckily there wasn't so, he took this chance to slide down to her himself.
When he got down, he then looked around to see if anyone was watching before getting hit on the head by Greta.
"OUCH! WHAT WAS THAT FOR!" Brain yelled as he turned to Greta in anger, whilst holding his head.
"FOR MAKING ME GET DIRTY THAT'S WHAT, YOU HAVE NO MANNERS DO YOU, HONESTLY..."Greta screeched.
Brain just yawned in response and as she went on he looked back to see a dog running down the path and knew that his owner would soon come walking by.
"BRAIN, ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME!" Greta screeched again.
"Greta, get down!" Brain said, ushering her to get down quickly.
"FINE, I'LL GET DOWN! SHEESH! You men are hard work these days!" Greta growled before going down in amongst the garbage.
As soon as she got down Brain quickly followed her as he shut the lid of the garbage box. When they both were down in the garbage they sat quiet as they waited for the human to go past with his dog before they planned what to do next.
"So, what now Einstein?" Greta questioned seductively, while winking in a flirty way at Brain.
Brain just frowned and tried to ignore the fact that she winked in such a way at him.
"Well, I'll need to go to a shop to get the ingredients ready for the potion and, Greta do you have Stripe's body locked away somewhere? Is it in a Unknown location? Or what?" Brain asked, curiously.
"Well, come to think of it, I do actually have Stripe's body, I have his skeleton." Greta replied.
"YES! But WHERE!" Brain asked annoyingly, he was getting impatient with Greta's stupidity.
"In my hideout, somewhere round here, I think." Greta replied, while trying to remember the setting of her current residence.
"Good! Ok, here's the plan I'm going to the shop right? To get some ingredients then we'll go to your hideout." Brain said.
"NU-UH! I need to go to the clothes shop and change cause these clothes I have on now are just filthy." Greta whined, before looking round at her bride gown which was covered in dirt and Gremlin blood.
"Fine! Whatever you say Greta, we can split ways I'll find a shop and you find a clothes store then we can meet back up here and go straight to your hideout." Brain replied.
Greta just nodded in approval.
"Ok, come-on let's see if everything's clear." Brain said, whilst climbing through the garbage box to the top to check.
"Is everything clear Brainy?" Greta asked.
"Yeah, come-on were getting out of here!" Brain replied, whilst trying to get out of the box and then hitting the floor.
Greta then peeped out and looked round.
"Brainy, can you help out of here?" Greta whined sadly.
"NO WAY! You can get out yourself!" Brain whined at her, but not even looking at her.
"Brainy, if you don't help me out of here in 10 seconds, I'll stand here and... I'll scream." Greta whined sadly then said it seductively at the screaming part.
Brain then growled, before whipping round to her with nothing but anger on his face.
"FINE! I'LL HELP YOU OUT!" Brain shouted whilst going to the garbage box.
Brain then went inside the box and picked her up bridal style.
"Thanks Brainy, your such a gentleman." Greta said seductively whilst snuggling up to his jacket.
"Shut up!" Brain whined in response before he just threw her down to the floor
Greta then got up and rubbed her bottom.
"Well, I'll see you later, Handsome!" Greta said seductively before blowing a kiss at Brain and walked off.
When she turned the corner, Brain walked the other way and thought hard.
"Thank God she wasn't coming to the shop with me, that Greta is so annoying. Anyway, with this revenge for Gizmo, its going better than I thought all I have to do is bring Stripe and the 4 Mogwai's back, ask Stripe to agree with me and create his own army and then it will be perfect!" Brain thought
"Gizmo, were coming to get you!" Brain thought again, before sneaking in through the shop door.
So, how do you think Brain's plan of action to bring Stripe back will turn out?
Will it succeed and more importantly, will both of these Gremlins see eye to eye or is it going to be a blood bath of a partnership?
