Ice: Last chapter of Prank War. Who'd have thought I'd actually keep going with this. May do a sequel, but it'll be a bit. In the meantime, feel free to enjoy my other fics and whatever I may do after this. Bug me enough, a sequel will happen.
A couple days had passed and most things were calm in the household. Raphael no longer used earplugs, Valon stayed in his spot on the floor, and Alister maintained his quiet spot on the couch. No one ever dared to move without watching the others closely. They were even sleeping with one eye open at night just to be careful.
All was relatively quiet that evening as they sat around the tv as usual. Nothing much had been on all day until now. America's Funniest Videos had just come on and the show always made them feel just a little bit better about their lives. Except for tonight…
One clip they had seen in the opening bit looked oddly familiar. There was a familiar brunette flying off the couch with firecrackers seen going off. Valon stared in horror as Alister's head snapped to look at Raphael.
"You really didn't believe me. That's your loss I suppose," he laughed.
"I can't believe you… You didn't… And I trusted you!" Valon screeched.
"This is war… You jerk!" Alister jumped up to chase Raphael.
An all-out war started as Raphael began the run for his life. A rabid Alister and Valon were on his heels. He reached out for anything that could hold them off for a few seconds which consisted of throwing various mops and brooms before reaching his own room.
"No! Stay back! I mean it!" he yelled hopelessly.
"Oh, I don't think so. Payback's a bitch, Raph!" Alister yelled as he dodged the shoes Raphael had begun to throw.
Valon tried to sneak around the side of the room to corner him, but quickly ran out of luck as Raphael hurled one of the heaviest books he owned at the poor boy's face.
"OW! Bloody hell! Could you have possibly found a heavier one man… Oh… Shit…"
An even heavier book made its way to the boy's head and left him in a daze. While Alister helped him up, Raphael took his opportunity to leap out the window hoping he would be safer with more open ground between them.
As he ran from the window, Alister and Valon were seconds behind him. Raphael really didn't have a plan for this. He knew they wouldn't give up and he knew they'd continue to chase him even if he ran to the nearest mall. They were highly persistent on their own, but even worse when angry.
"Just give it up, Raph. You know we're going to kick your ass for this. Just let us get it over with," Alister yelled.
"Let me think about that… Hell no!" came the reply as he backed into a tree.
"You're only making it worse on yourself. Just give up," pleaded Valon.
"You had to learn a lesson! I taught it!"
"That's it. Get him!" yelled Alister as he ran towards the blond.
Raphael knew he was cornered and began to fret as he knew there was nowhere to go. Then he had an idea. He quickly hopped up and climbed to a good vantage point in the tree. Alister knew he had no chance of getting to him, but he too had an idea.
"Valon, you know what we need. Go fetch it," he commanded the younger one.
He ran into the garage where sounds of things being thrown were heard. Another more peculiar sound was heard shortly after, running water.
Just what the hell do they think they're doing… Raphael wondered.
Valon returned with fully loaded water guns. He gave one to Alister and they readied themselves. It was going to be a long day, and they might as well make it worth it.
"You've got to the count of three to get out of the tree, Raph! One! Two!" Alister started counting.
"I'm not coming down damn it!" yelled Raphael in retaliation as he threw a pine cone down which conveniently hit Valon in the face once again.
"GODDAMMIT RAPH! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?" Valon shouted.
Before Alister could get to three, Valon opened fire at Raph who tried to dodge the streams, but was failing rather terribly. Alister shrugged and joined in doing his best to make sure the blond had nowhere to go.
People were walking down the street during the entire scene, but no one dared to stop to find out just what was going on. They would glance up and quickly turn around before getting caught in the middle. Everyone had ideas about the three of them, but no one really wanted to inquire about said ideas. After all, they were crazy people as far as anyone knew.
One person finally stopped and sighed. The light blue-haired individual knew it would turn out bad, but he did need to put an end to their shenanigans. He took a deep breath knowing it was probably a bad idea, but it was going to happen sooner or later.
"For the gods' sake, Raph, just come down here and take it like a man!" Alister yelled as he ran out of water in the gun.
"Yeah, come on! We'll take it easy on you! Not!" Valon chimed in as he too ran out.
"Oh hell no! I know what easy is with you two! No way in hell!"
"What is the meaning of this? Just what do you three think are doing?" demanded a voice behind Alister and Valon.
"Oh…shit… Hi... Dartz… How… How's it going?" asked Valon trying to play it smooth.
Dartz couldn't really say he was surprised, but he thought he had seen everything until now. A grown man cowering in a tree being sprayed with water was not what he had in mind when he was hiring henchmen. It certainly put things into a whole new perspective.
"This is just amazing… You know what, I don't want to know. I'm not even going to try to make sense of this. Just… Carry on," said Dartz as he shook his head and walked on.
"Did… Did that just happen?" Alister asked.
"Umm… Yeah. Yeah, it did. Talk about random. Oh well. Want to go watch some tv?" Valon asked as he threw the empty water gun over his shoulder right into the tree Raphael was hiding in.
"Yeah, sure. Sounds fun."
As they walked off back into the house, Raphael saw the water gun flying at him. He had nowhere to go and braced himself for the worst. It hit him in the face which was a pretty good shot considering Valon hadn't tried to him. Well, first time for everything.
Oh…hell… My life sucks… He thought right before it hit him and knocked him out of the tree.
"I…may have deserved that…" gasped Raphael as he laid out in the yard trying to make sense of things that would never make sense in a thousand lifetimes.
Ice: And so it ends. But! I already have an idea that will spark the sequel. Wish I could say I was smart and planned this when I wrote one of the chapters, but it just hit me as I was going to work today. Yeah… I'm going to attempt to write some pranks up to go in the sequel so feel free to hit me up in reviews or messages of ideas you may have and I'll throw them in. Cookies all around! If anyone is interested in the Modern Warfare games, I'm going to attempt to write a fic along these same lines-ish, so check that out when I get it going. Love and peace and whatever else you're supposed to say… I really didn't have an epic speech planned out, but hey, it works.
