Chapter Seven: D.O.O.M. Strikes Back
After his Petsburg Hotel scheme failed, Snaptrap gave up, and after serving a month at the mental institution, he and his minions broke out and he went back home to Petropolis – only to find out that his home was destroyed, having been bombed several months back by the villains who were running around all over the city.
He didn't know where his mother was, and he didn't care. But the incident made him remember the war he promised to start against Dudley and Kitty, and so he decided to continue it.
''Yes! This will be payback for all the things they've and their pal Keswick have done to me and my crew! Hahahahahaha!'' said Snaptrap.
Dudley and Kitty were relaxing in the latter's recently-rebulit house, when suddenly a boulder fell and crashed into it.
Kitty groaned and said weakly, ''Why did my house have to be destroyed again?''
Dudley used his story intellect to say, ''Well Kitty, I think it's because Snaptrap and his minions hate you so much more than any other T.U.F.F. member. You're a target of controversy.''
Kitty slipped out of the boulder. ''I know. Now could you please get me to the hospital? I'm dying here,'' she asked.
''Alright.'' Dudley grabbed Kitty and walked out of the house. ''I'm gonna take you to the same hospital we saw the Chief at. I'm gonna make sure that you'll be okay.''
After they left, Snaptrap, Larry, Ollie and Francisco jumped down from the boulder and got in the Petropolis Gazette truck.
''Ha ha! We did it! We did it!'' said Snaptrap. ''My plan worked! Now let's get Keswick!''
''You realize you haven't hurt Dudley yet, boss?'' said Ollie.
Snaptrap thought it over for a few seconds – then he figured it out. The boulder that was supposed to crush agents Puppy and Katswell only hurt one of the persons it was intended to flatten. He didn't like that.
''Holy crap! I forgot! Stop the truck, Larry!'' he said.
''You're not driving?'' asked Francisco.
''No! I'm letting Larry drive today! Too bad he dosen't know where the brakes are!''
''Hey, it's not my fault I can't find them! You had to take out the brakes, didn't you?'' replied Larry.
''You know clearly how to drive, you doofus!'' yelled the weird-looking rat. ''So do the others! You just pretend not to know because you don't have a brain!''
''I have a brain!'' yelled Larry.
''Liar!''
''No, I'm not a liar, you are!''
''You're the biggest fattest, most moronic shrew I've never hired!'' screamed Snaptrap.
''Oh no! We're going to crash!'' shrieked Larry.
Everyone then screamed like little girls. The truck crashed into a department store, and burst into flames.
''You retard! Now I'll have to pay a fine, because you tried to argue with me!'' screamed Larry at Snaptrap.
''Pooh!'' said Snaptrap.
Keswick came out of the building, and gasped at the sight.
''What the huh-huh-heck happened here?'' he asked.
''Look, there's that Keswick person!'' pointed out Francisco.
''Keswick!'' Snaptrap chortled. ''I think I have an idea!''
Snaptrap and his minions got out of the truck as the police arrived. 3 police officers came out of the cars and tried to arrest Snaptrap. Snaptrap pulled out a taser and zapped them, but not before he tasered Keswick. He then ran away, and so did Keswick in the opposite direction.
''They can't catch me! I'm invulnerable!'' screamed out Snaptrap before he was taken to the police station with Ollie, Francisco, and Larry.
Kitty was lying on the hospital bed as Dudley was asking the doctor how long Kitty was going to stay.
''I'd say about, 5 months at the most.'' he replied.
''Damn it!'' cried Dudley. ''What's the minimum amount of weeks she'll stay? Four? Five?''
''Well, she was hit by a falling boulder, and she's gonna need extensive surgery, so I'd have to say, about 3 to 4 months.'' said the doctor.
''Aw sh-'' The doctor looked at the white dog. ''Damn it, again!'' said Dudley. ''I don't know who did this, but I'll find out, and when I do, I'm gonna kill them!''
5 days later, the four (bad guys) came out, having been arrested for driving around without a proper license, and crashing it into a building.
''Wow! That was a short sentence,'' said Snaptrap.
Larry replied, ''Yeah. Too bad it wasn't that short, and you had to get one of your Petropolis members to bail you out. Hey, did you know that F.L.O.P.P. became the biggest crime organization in town? Now all the bad guys are part of it, including-''
''Shut it or I'll feed you to the sharks!''
''Remember your war plan, boss? We got Agent Katswell, now all we have to do is do something really bad to Agent Puppy and Keswick!'' said Ollie.
''I tasered Keswick already. But I guess we can punish him some more.'' said Snaptrap. ''Now, let's find them!'', he commanded as D.O.O.M. sprinted off into the distance. Then they stopped.
''I think we need to get some transportation. A-ha! How 'bout the car-rental place! We'll rent a car, mess up the other good guys bad, then we'll use the car for our own use and never return it! It's a perfect plan!'' yelled out Snaptrap.
Dudley was walking to the convenience store, still mad about the fact that Kitty had to stay in the hospital for a long time. Snaptrap was watching him with binoculars. Then he picked up a walkie-talkie and contacted Larry, Francisco and Ollie.
''Guys! Guys! I see Dudley! Release the rattlesnakes! Over!'' he whispered onto them.
Francisco took out a box, opened it, and dumped 4 robotic remote control-operated rattlesnakes on the ground.
''Okay, rattlesnakes, go attack the dog with the black shirt over there!'' Francisco pointed to Dudley.
He took the remote control from the bag and started to control them. The rattlesnakes slithered off. They scared off a few passersby who thought they were actually real.
Finally the rattlesnakes came near Dudley. He noticed them, and screamed. The rattlesnakes started to crawl on his body. ''Get away, you stupid snakes!'', he cried, but the venomous robots did not listen. They started to wrap around him. He started choking. Then one of the rattlesnakes came face-to-face with him and bit him. As the snakes got off him, he started fainting. Francisco, Larry, and Ollie, who were watching him get attacked, were laughing throughout the whole thing. Snaptrap was laughing also.
After Dudley fainted, Snaptrap took the body and put it in his rented car. He then signaled his goons to get in. After that, they drove off to the D.O.O.M. Petsburg H.Q.
When Dudley woke up, he was surrounded by the villains, and he was tied to a wooden board. His legs and neck were also tied up, with a large piece left on so Snaptrap's minions could pull him.
Snaptrap laughed heartily and then said, ''Welcome to your worst nightmare, Agent Puppy! This will be the last day you'll mingle with other animals in the outside world, for you'll be confined to the hospital for the rest of your life! Hahahahahahaha!''
''You can't do this to me, Snaptrap! What did I do to deserve this? Tell me! Tell me right now!'' demanded Dudley.
''I'll tell you what you did to deserve the fate of HAVING YOUR BODY BEING STRETCHED TO DEATH, if you'd only shut up for a moment.'' Snaptrap cleared his throat. ''You were born.''
''But-''
''SHUT UP! You had to become a member of T.U.F.F., didn't you? You couldn't just attempt another job, like a telemarketer, or a movie star, or a plumber!''
''I tried to do all that! Telemarketing is a scam, plumbing is way too hard, and movies take too long to make. Believe me.'' said Dudley.
''Oh… I remember that ''Fast and the Furriest'' movie or whatever it was called… I don't know why I wasted $13.50 on that low-budget piece of crap. BUT NETHERTHELESS! You will die today, right now! Larry, Ollie, pull the ropes!''
''I'll try!'' yelled Larry.
''I can do it!'' shouted Ollie. They then started pulling the ropes tied to Dudley's legs and head. Dudley started choking. ''Harder! Harder!'' commanded Snaptrap. Dudley started to die.
Then, Keswick burst inside the D.O.O.M. building.
''SNAPTRAP! WHY DID YOU TUH-TUH-TASE ME! MY CHA-CHA-CHEST IS HURTING ME!'' screamed Keswick.
''Stop pulling!'' Snaptrap told Larry and Ollie. ''Keswick, my good friend. I did it because I wanted to punish you for all the things you did to us. For way~ too long, I've been defeated, like, hundreds of times. Now, I'm turning the tables on you. I've done it on Kitty and I'm going it on Dudley, so it'll make sense for me to take you out of commission.''
''Oh. Still though, you're gonna puh-puh-puh-PAY.''
''Oh, yeah? How 'bout I take you and Dudley, and rough you up some, huh?'' Snaptrap started untying the ropes on Dudley's legs. ''But only after I untie his ropes. I'll get sued by his family if I kill him. Darn it, I can't untie that knot! Let me try again!'' Snaptrap tried to untie one of Dudley's right leg's knots, but it was tied way too tight. ''D- *sigh* Forget it. I'll just get off Dudley's body and neck ropes, then I'll get my minions to help me beat you up.''
Snaptrap untied the body ropes with ease and then, the rope on Dudley's neck. ''Now, let's rumble!'' Larry, Ollie, and Francisco came over to Dudley and Keswick, then they and Snaptrap started beating up the two.
Ten minutes later, the bad guys were done beating Dudley and Keswick up. The two were badly bruised and hurt. Some bones were broken.
''Cuh-cuh-can I go to the bath~room please?'' said Keswick weakly. He then collapsed.
''Bathroom's to the left.'' Snaptrap said helpfully. Keswick staggered to it.
A few weeks later…
Dudley and Keswick were in another hospital, having escaped from D.O.O.M. four weeks before. A telephone on a nearby desk rang. Keswick grabbed the phone quickly, and said, ''Hello?''
''Hey Keswick, it's me, Kitty.'' answered a familiar voice.
''Who?'' asked Keswick.
''Kitty Katswell?''
''Oh, Kitty Katswell. How did you nuh-nuh-know we were here?''
''Snaptrap, he called me and told me that he got his revenge by doing bad things to us! That was why the boulder crushed me. He got me first!'' said Kitty.
''Oh, so he was the culprit!'' said Dudley.
''Dudley? I missed you so much! How are you?''
Keswick gave the phone to Dudley.
''Not good. I was choked and bitten by rattlesnakes, nearly stretched to death, and I was beaten up. It's a wonder that I'm still alive.'' he said.
Dudley handed back the phone.
''Oh. Uh, Keswick, what was your punishment?'', Kitty asked.
''Me and Agent Puppy were beaten up by D.O.O.M. And I was tasered for no reason a few days before.'' replied Keswick.
''Okay. You too are lucky that you didn't end up dying.''
''Uh, yeah.'' said Dudley.
''That's true.'' said Keswick.
''Okay. How much longer will you two be here?''
''Only a few more days.'' replied Dudley.
''Alright. I'll see you two when I get out,'' said Kitty. Then, she hung up. Keswick put the phone away.
''You know, it's too bad that we all got beaten by D.O.O.M.'' said Dudley.
''That's tuh-tuh-too bad. I hate them.'' said Keswick.
''Me too. We'll get them next time, though. When we get out of the hospital, we and Kitty will do the same things they did to us – Well, not really, but still though.''
Will Snaptrap turn the tables on our heroes again? We'll find out, next time on ''Dudley and Kitty''.
