"Ha.. Ha..." Paprika panted as they stopped running, hiding in a nearby alley,
"I think we lost them." Splat mumbled, "And our friends." he noticed they had not only lost the helicopter, but Starly and Calamaird.
"Look..." Paprika pointed to a lone sign, "A Motel.."
"Do I have cash?" Splat looked in his bag, where he found a bag of doubloons, "Ah.. yes." he grinned,
"What about Starly?" Paprika asked as the two walked to the Motel,
"He knows we're going to my grandparents'." Splat said, "They'll meet us there." he reassured her, "Hey, are you alright?" he asked her, seeing she was walking heavily.
"Yeah..." Paprika told him, "It's nothing..." she held her stomach, "Just tired."
"So am I." Splat grinned, "Come on, we're almost there."

"Let go of this wheel!" Triton yelled as he tried shoving Britannia, "Ha!" he uppercutted her,
"AH!" Britannia screamed as she broke through the roof, "RAH! You're coming with me!" she yelled and used her whip to catch hold of his neck,
"GRAH!" Triton groaned and let go of the wheel, "GAGAGA!" he gagged and tried to remove the whip,
"AHHHH!" Britannia used all her might to pick up Triton, "GET OUT!" she threw him,
"DWAH!" Triton roared as he landed in the trash on the dump part of the truck.
"Ha ha ha ha..." Britannia laughed as she released her grip, "Well... if it isn't a good time for a trashing?" she clenched her fists,
"Real funny..." Triton growled as he stood up, stopping a few seconds to gain balance in the mucky garbage,
"HA!" Britannia took out her Brush and started to wave it in the air as a shield,
"Think that puny brush is going to hurt a being like- OW!" Triton growled when he was hit in the face with said weapon,
"Take this!" Britannia kept attacking him,
"Why you!" Triton put up his shell defense, "Give me that!" he caught hold of the brush, "HA!" he took it out of her arms, "This is what I think of your art!" he yelled and threw it out.
"Mano a Mano, huh?" Britannia said, "Just how I like it."
"Brute force always wins the day." Triton clenched his fists, "And seeing a frail creature like you... You are not going to win this day.." he scoffed at her frail size,
"I may not have strength, but I have smarts." Britannia said as the two circled around, "Today my mission will be complete..."
"Not today, sweetheart. Not ever." Triton grinned and then delivered a punch,
"Hm." Britannia, with her nimble size, easily avoided the move, "HA!" she struck Triton on the back of the head with her spiky whip arm,
"Argh!" Triton winced and the blow, "Why you!" he turned and kicked her,
"Hmph!" Britannia grunted as she tried to absorb the blow, but somewhat failed, "Ah!" she yelled in pain,
"Take thi- Woah!" Triton avoided a whip snap,
"I'm gonna sweep you off your feet!" Britannia said and wrapped her whip around Triton's legs, "HA!" she pulled back,
"Wrah!" Triton fell into the rubbish,
"Hahaha." Britannia chuckled, "The bath suits you. Now..." she picked up what seemed to be a lunchbox of Judd, "HA!" she hit Triton across the face with it.
KLONG!
"Hahaha." Triton muttered as he stood up, tanking the blow, "Give me that!" he snatched the box, "How do you like it!?" he opened the box and closed it on her head,
"AH!" Britannia screamed,
"RAH!" Triton smashed her down into the garbage, making her body shoot down like a peg.
"Argh..." Britannia groaned, trying to take the lunch box off her head,
"Looks like you're out to lunch..." Triton chuckled and then kicked her head clean off!
"That was easy..." he cracked his knuckles,
"Or was it?" Britannia, with her head regenerated, laughed, then dove into the garbage,
"Huh!?" Triton looked around, "What in the-"
"Something smells fishy..." Britannia appeared behind him, with a half eaten fish on her head since she swam in the rubbish, "HYAH!" she whipped the giant on the back,
"AH!" Triton growled, then picked up what seemed to be a skeleton, "Ha!" he broke it, leaving the femur behind, "I've got a bone to pick with you!" he yelled and swung it.
"Woah!" Britannia avoided the attack, "Hyah!" she kicked Triton,
"Wahahaha..." Triton lost balance, "Ah!" he fell of the truck, but got a last second grip on the sides,
"Hahahaha..." Britannia walked over to where he was hanging, "It looks like it's time to take out the trash..." she laughed, then poised to step on his hands,
"Wait!" Triton yelled, "If you're a brittle star... and I'm a sea snail.." he mumbled,
"Then who's driving the truck!?" Britannia looked ahead of them, where a large concrete column supporting an overpass was.
"AHHHHHHHH!" the two yelled.
KRASH!

"What in the world?" Calamaird asked when he saw the terrific crash of the dump truck from a distance.
"This is Civil Defense Patrolman #4." King spoke into a radio, "I have confirmed sighting of the wanted suspects... It seems they have recklessly crashed a vehicle into a support column."
"No kidding." Calamaird asked, then squinted his eyes when he swore he saw to figures exiting the wreck.
"I have a visual." King muttered as he dashed back, then turned to Starly, "Unless..."
"Who are you?" Starly muttered as he stared at King, "What do you want?"
"Civil Defense Patrolman #4." King spoke, "I have the third suspect... and it seems Suspects 1 and 2 are headed my way!"
"Starly!" Triton laughed as he ran towards the seastar,
"Triton, you coward!" Britannia growled as she followed behind, "Get back here and fight me like a male!"
"I am going to confront the suspects." King muttered, "This is a Code 101... Taking it into action." he took a stance.
"Get out of my way!" Triton told King as he charged towards Starly, "You useless- WOAH!" he yelled when King picked him up at full sprint.
"What!?" both Britannia and Starly gasped at the sight.
"HERPH!" King grunted as he lifted Triton over his head, "HA!" he threw him towards Starly.
"DWAH!" the two yelled when they impacted each other, falling with a great thud.
"I think I need to get out of here!" Calamaird sped off to hide behind a nearby tree off the shoulder of the highway, watching the fight safely.
"Thank you." Britannia told King, "You saved me a lot of- AH!" she screamed when King grabbed hold of her waist.
"Pincer Crush!" King converted his arm into a large pincer, "HRAH!" he snapped Britannia in half.
"GAH!" Calamaird said in shock from the sidelines.
"Agh..." Britannia groaned and shuffled closer to her lower half. SHWORF! The cells sensed each other and connected the body once more.
"Huh?" King muttered, unaware of Triton rising behind him.
"Take this you stupid grunt!" Triton roared and raised both his arms, intending to smash down the patroler.
"Ha!" King managed to turn around and set up what seemed to be a shell guard on his chest.
POOMP! The crusty shell absorbed the entire blow!
"Ah.. Ah..." Triton gasped in shock, was there finally a being stronger than he was? Impossible!
"HA!" King grabbed Triton and raised him up once more, "Your road ends here!" he roared and grabbed him by the neck.
"Wah!" Triton yelled as he immediately set up his shell guard around the said area.
"Guillotine!" King alerted and converted his arm into another pincer, then started to crush!
"GRAH!" Triton cried as his shell started to crack inch by inch.
"IT'S A ONE HIT! KO!" King yelled and delivered another fearsome crush.
KRASH! Triton's shell armour gave way, and then his neck muscles. The fiend himself soon turned into mist and his ghost rose up to the sky...
"Mission... Com-" King looked around for Starly and Britannia, but both had escaped, "Mission Complete... Hostile down." he radioed in and waited for the helicopter to arrive...
So many puns! Also behold the King!
