Taking down Britten

---

"Sergeant Calamaird!" a police officer saluted as the old officer came out of his car,

"What's the situation?" Calamaird asked,

"Single individual, female." the officer responded, "We have 50 police officers surrounding her, keeping her sieged at the top of the tower." he pointed to the tower at the lobby.

"Get them all away from here." Calamaird told him,

"Huh? Sir?" the officer asked him in confusion, "Why?"

"Captain, if you do not order these cops to retreat or hold a line further down there, they will all surely perish." Calamaird warned,

"What!?" the captain gasped, "Alright! We'll pull the line back!" he nodded and started to give the signal.

"She's a dangerous criminal." Calamaird looked at Britten, who was being illuminated by a police helicopter's search light,

"She's just enjoying the show..." Splat grumbled, seeing Britten was looking down on them,

"We called in the Inkopolis Military." the captain came up to Calamaird, "They should be arriving in 15 minutes."

"The Military, huh?" Calamaird said in surprise, "Wow. Is this Grand Theft Inkopolis?"

"No need for the army." Arnie stepped out, "I'll take care of her..." he walked forward, passed the police line, and entered the empty zone between the line and the tower.

"Hm..." Britten looked down at the lone figure, "Ha!" she gaspped, "You!"

"Come down." Arnie grunted, then fired his .96 Gal, trying to knock the Britten down,

"Ah!" Britten avoided the ink blasts, "Why you!" she said and dove down, the helicopter's light following her on the descend.

"You finally decided to join me." Arnie mumbled as he and his foe circled around,

"I want to find out who you are." Britten chuckled, "You're not like the others... Like those weak Inklings." she gave a quick glance to the police line,

"You're right." Arnie responded, "I am not like them, and neither are you.. Brittle Star."

"How'd you-" Britten gnashed her teeth, "You're smarter than I thought... But not smart enough!" she said and fired her Aerosprays.

SPLATSPLATSPLAT! The guns fired, but they merely bothered the Crown-of-Thorns.

"As I suspected." Britten chuckled and threw her Aerosprays aside, "That won't work."

"Nice try, though." Arnie mumbled,

"But this will toast ya!" Britten yelled and fired an E-Liter 3K,

POOOM! The blast knocked Arnie's right arm clean off.

"Ah!" Arnie growled, fazed by the blast.

"Hyah!" Britten turned her arm into her spiny whip.

SNAP! The whip cracked and struck Arnie in the face.

"Wrah!" Arnie was stunned for a few seconds, a gash ran across his head, "HAH!" he fired his .96 Gal with his other arm.

POOM! POOM! POOM! The weapon fired, knocking Britten back and taking pieces of her body with it.

POOM! POOM! POOM- CLICK! Arnie ran out of his poison.

"AH!" Britten screamed as she felt the effects of the toxin, and the pain of missing a few body pieces, "RAH!" she regenerated near instantly,

"You're not the only one who can do that..." Arnie growled and finally regenerated his arm.

"But I can do it faster!" Britten laughed and once again swung her whip arm, SNAP!"

She struck Arnie's face, legs, and chest.

"Hmph.." Arnie grunted and grabbed her whip with his hand, "HAH!" he turned his other arm into his thorn and stabbed the whip off.

"AH!" Britten yelled, "Ha! You monster!" she growled as she regenerated said arm, then backflipped to get her E-Liter back, "Ha ha!" she charged and aimed.

"We got you, Arnie!" Splat appeared and blasted the brittle star.

POOOM! The Luna Blaster fired, knocking Britten away.

"Thanks..." Arnie said as he reloaded his .96 Gal, "I needed that."

"Argh..." Britten groaned as she stood up, a huge blast mark was left on her stomach, which she promptly regenerated,

"Not today!" Splat yelled and continued his assault.

POOOM! POOM! POOOM! He blasted her at an ever closing range, POOM! CLICK!

"Ah..." Britten moaned in pain, having lost her right arm and lower left leg in the assault, as well as bits and pieces of her chest. "That.. hurt..." she growled and regenerated, "But not for long..." she grinned,

"Wah..." Splat said in shock, but felt an arm on his shoulder, it was Paprika,

"Let us take care of this." Paprika said as she, Cepha, Tint, Arnie, and Calamaird were lined up next to him,

"Hope you aren't too... brittle..." Arnie said.

SPLATSPLATSPLAT!
POOM!
POOM POOM! POOM! POOM!
SPLAT SPLAT SPLAT! All their weapons fired on the woman.

"You think it's over?" Cepha asked her parents as she saw the body of Britten, which was in four badly beaten parts.

"Nope." Calamaird chuckled as he blew on his Rapid Blaster, "I'll go tell the force..." he said and walked to the police line,

"We got her good..." Splat chuckled, "You think that's small enough, Arnie?"

"I believe so." Arnie looked at Britten, "If not, we did enough damage to the existing pieces to hinder regeneration."

"I just hope she's gone." Paprika muttered, "Then we could all go home."

"That's what I've been trying to do." Tint sighed,

"Relax, Tint." Cepha told him, "We'll take you home, right dad?" she asked Splat,

"Sure." Splat nodded, "I'm liking him." he patted Tint's head, "Nice job, kid."

They started to walk away, but Arnie stopped halfway.

"What is it, Arnie?" Cepha turned to face him,

"It's not over..." Arnie muttered as he heard a familiar sploshing noise...

"Oh my..." Cepha gasped,

"What I-" Paprika paused, "No..."

"Ah damn..." Splat growled,

"I just wanted to go to sleep..." Tint groaned.

Behind them, four masses of cells started to rise from the ground...
