Bubble Guppies Adult Years

Chapter 32: Sinister Admiration

We know that the Bubble Guppies are very popular in BubbleTucky, Big BubbleCity and a bit in the neighboring cities. Mostly because of their fame in childhood and also their heroic acts years ago. They are considered good role models. However, we must keep in mind that there are also bad role models. And unfortunately, we will meet a person who set his sights on the wrong people and that caused an unpleasant event.

Our story begins on a special day at Bubble Tucky High School, where the famous Bubble Guppies spent many adventures in their teenage years. Nowadays, there are other generations in this institute. For example, Charlize Duncan no longer held her position as the high school's principal. There were also some well-known guppies attending this institute. They are Mia (Molly's younger sister), Dylan and Daniel (Deema's younger twin brothers). These three friends were in their last year of high school and they already had advanced study plans. Still, they had their teenage lives that they liked. Because, in addition to having good academic performance, they excelled in extracurricular activities. In fact, we will focus on one of these activities.

An important competition for the school was taking place in the gymnasium. A tennis match between two high schools!

"The score is tied. Mia Gentilella from BubbleTucky High School 40 - Amanda Price from Greater Bay High School 40! Both need to win two points in a row to break the tie. This game is hot!" A snail-like narrator tells us the score of this game between two girls from different high schools. The audience cheers on both girls. Mia had on a white two-piece sports uniform with sports skirt shorts while the other guppy girl wore a uniform consisting of a sports top and white shorts. Both of them were preparing for the next move, ready to start the tiebreaker.

"Come on, darling! You can do it!" Miriam Gentilella cheered her up.

"You can, my dear!" Robert Gentilella joined.

"Come on, little sister!" Molly Gordon was here to support her younger sister. And she didnt go alone.

"Let's go, sister-in-law!" Gil Gordon was with her.

"All right, team. You know it! Come on!" Surprisingly, Dylan appeared leading a group of cheerleaders. Most of them were girls, although there were two more boys. And he was the leader of the cheerleading team. The team prepared the choreography to inspire the school's junior girls' tennis star, with Dylan being the main choreographer.

Dylan: Two, Four, Six, Eight!

Who do we appreciate?!

All: Mia! Mia! Mia!

Dylan: Give me an M!

All: M!

Dylan: Give me an I!

All: I!

Dylan: Give me an A!

All: A!

Dylan: What's that spell?!

All; Mia!

All: You can do it!

Give your best hit!

You are a star!

Show them who you are!

The chorus and choreography livened up the atmosphere. In addition, Mia felt more inspired to take the victory. Both for her own pride and for the pride of the school. So, with some fast and effective movements, she managed to score the two points necessary to obtain the victory.

"Tiebreaker! Mia Gentilella from BubbleTucky High School wins the match and advances to the next round!"

"Well done, Mia!" Molly shouted happily.

"That's my girl" Mrs. Gentilella added.

"She is our champion!" Mr. Gentilella said with pride. Mia proudly celebrated her victory, but not before saying goodbye in a polite and very sporting manner to her rival, acknowledging her ability and making her feel a little better. After all that, she decided to go into the locker room to take a quick shower to get rid of the sweat and be able to put on her comfortable and casual clothes to celebrate with her family. After she got dressed, someone waited for her at the exit of the locker room.

"You did very well, tennis star!" Dylan congratulated her. He was already dressed well, as he also took a shower and changed his clothes.

"Well, I think I won thanks to a certain cheerleading team captain and his excellent team" Mia flattered him.

"Don't overdo it. I'm just doing my job. Besides, it's a teamwork thing" Dylan admitted.

"But for good teamwork you need a good captain" Mia winked at him.

"You're right. But hey! Congratulations! You're close to qualifying for the big youth leagues" Dylan said happily.

"Yes, it's great. I don't know if I can though. It's difficult to get there, and I don't know if I'll have the time with the degree I'm planning to pursue. Nursing is a demanding career" Mia said before continuing to walk with Dylan "By the way, what about Daniel?"

"He said he had practice with the boys on the football team. You know Dylan is one of the new kids. (sigh) Although I think he's embarrassed of me because I decided to join the cheerleaders" The blonde guppy deduced.

"Well...Daniel has changed a bit since he joined the football team. I guess he wants to keep up his "reputation" or something. But it's kind of silly if you ask me" Mia told him.

"I know. He's my brother and I love him. But you're right. Reputation is something I don't care much about, even though I know I'm popular. But hey, I guess I'm the mature twin because I'm older" Dylan said proudly.

"(chuckle) You're only older by 10 minutes, silly" Mia giggled.

"It's 10 minutes of more experience and wisdom" Dylan said funnily and both of them laughed together.

"Hey, Dylan…..Please dont change" The teen girl said kindly.

"You neither, Mia. You neither" Dylan smiled sincerely and the two decided to finally meet up with Molly's family to celebrate the victory. Unbeknownst to them, a mysterious boy was spying on them in the lockers.

"Damn. Why are pretty girls attracted to dumb popular guys? Nevermind, I'll make her notice me"

On the one hand, Mia and Dylan were able to celebrate the sporting achievement with the Gentilellas and the new Gordon-Gentilella family in the same house as Molly and Gil. That time was very beautiful. However, the story continues days later. We will focus on a green fish, a bit robust and slightly thick. That boy wore big glasses and always used to wear a black sweatshirt with the hood of the sweatshirt on. That boy did not used to be very social and had a hard time talking to others. That shy and insecure personality plus his appearance made him an object of bullying, especially by the popular kids. We can see how he walked around the school campus alone, as he used to do. He was used to the derogatory nicknames and the bad treatment of his classmates.

"Ohhh look, here is the ogre" A group of teenagers who looked like members of the football team appeared. The leader was a brown-skinned guppy with green eyes and short dark green hair styled in small spikes. His tail was dark orange with purple spots. Two of his friends were lobsters and, surprisingly, the fourth was the other Wahler twin, Daniel.

"H-Hi, Viktor" The fish said quietly.

"What are you doing, weirdo?" One of the lobsters mocked him.

"I know, he's probably looking for his swamp...Like any good ogre!" The other lobster added.

"Come on, Dan! Say hello to our friend" Viktor asked the Wahler twin.

"Oh…Hi, Sam" Daniel said kindly.

"No! Not like that!" The leader scolded him.

"So how? Can't we just ignore him?" Daniel asked his partner.

"Isn't this how a member of the football team behaves? Do you want to be a ball boy again? Then do it!" Viktor said rudely "I'll leave you alone for today, ogre. But remember that I always like to play with you as a good friend that I am. Let 's go, boys!" The players left, but not before one of them threw his backpack on the ground, forcing poor Sam to pick it up on his own. He simply sighed in resignation and surprisingly, someone helped him.

"You okay, punk?" He was a mysterious pale-skinned boy with blue eyes, short military-style black hair with a white sleeveless shirt and his tail was gray with dark blue diagonal stripes.

"Thank you very much, ummm..." The fish was nervous because he didnt know his name.

"Markus….Markus Schulz….What's your name, dude?" The guppy asked him.

"Oh Uhhh…Nobody asked me in a long time. I'm Sam Williams. It-It-It's a pleasure" He said nervously.

"I know who you are. Everyone calls you an ogre... But you don't look like one. I think everyone here is an idiot" Markus commented.

"Me...I think the same. Everyone has bothered me since the first year. I've talked to the teachers a lot and nobody helps me...Plus I don't have any friends...and I've never had a girlfriend" He said nervously.

"So you're a loser...Hey don't be sad...I'm a loser too. People accuse me of being a weirdo and they tease me a lot for it. But nah, you learn to ignore them. Anyway, I think we can be friends, man" The strange guppy proposed.

"Fr-Fr-Friends? Are-Are you serious?" He stuttered a lot.

"Of course, us weird kids should support each other" Markus said with a smile.

They both shook hands as a sign of friendship. From that day on, the two boys who were treated like garbage in the student society were no longer alone. They started talking and spending more time together. It seems that they both had things in common like their fascination with video games, metal and rock music and anime. They both recommended shows and games to each other. Over time, it all seemed like a normal friendship. In fact, we can see them talking during one of their breaks from school.

"...And tell me, punk? Do you like any girl?" Markus asked him curiously.

"M-M-Me? W-W-Well….There is a girl I have liked since first year but..." Sam tried to explain.

"Ohhh! Tell me, dude! Who's she?" The guppy asked him.

"It's her! The girl who is there" Sam pointed out a very beautiful guppy who was talking to other girls in a friendly and funny way. We know who she is.

"Oh no….You like Mia Gentilella? Yuck...That girl is out of your league. You really like that popular girl?" Markus asked disgustedly.

"Yessss (sigh) She's so beautiful, brave and smart. She's not like other popular girls...Although...Grrrr...There's always that blond guy with her" Sam grunted a bit when they saw Mia who was meeting with Dylan and were chatting.

"Ohhh...I see. It's always the pretty girls who notice the popular ones and leave the "nice guys" aside...As always. They're all the same" Markus rolled his eyes.

"No...She's different. She's one of the only people who's ever treated me right. She once stood up for me against my bullies. I know she loves me deep down. I just need courage!" Sam said confidently.

"Hmmm I think I can help you with that" Markus said with a smile, a not very good one.

"Ohhh really? Thanks, dude!" The fish was very happy.

"Just do what I tell you and she will fall in love with you" Markus said would be the beginning of something that may not be a good thing.

That's right, Sam Williams fell in love with Mia Gentilella in his first year of high school. The guppy was kind to him and was the only one who never called him bad names or insulted him. That only made Sam fall for her. In all that time, he saw her and they didn't usually exchange many words. He never had the courage to take a step to get closer to her. Because his shyness got the better of him. Also, Dylan spent a lot of time with her. Which ruined his "chances". But thanks to their new ally, things would go better, according to them. Sam received help from Markus in his new plans of romantic conquest. Mia began to receive romantic letters and poems from a secret admirer. She also began to receive flowers and chocolates. She wasn't bothered at first, because she thought it was from a certain blond guppy boy she knows. But sometimes she noticed that this admirer was a little... intense. So she began to suspect that he was a possible stalker. It was uncomfortable, because sometimes she received the letters and gifts in her locker, both at school and in the gym locker (which was already worrying because it would indicate that he was sneaking into the girls' locker room). That worried her a little to the point that the secret admirer promised in a letter to reveal himself if they met at a certain point: A huge tree outside the school. It was a point known by couples. Mia decided to go there with some caution, because she was worried about who this secret admirer could be.

"I wonder where he is. I hope we can clear this up once and for all" Mia said to herself. At that moment, someone appeared.

"M-M-Mia…You-You finally arrived" The girl recognized the voice and realized.

"Huh?! Uhhh…S-S-Sam?" The guppy was surprised.

"You didn't expect it, did you?" He asked nervously.

"Wait...You were the one who wrote me those letters, poems and sent me those gifts..." Mia discovered it.

"Yes, it was me all along. Look, Mia Gentilella...You are the most amazing girl I know and I really like you. I would love for you to decide to go out with me. What do you say?" Sam declared his feelings for her.

"Sam...I...I...Look, you're a very nice and cute guy...But...But I can't accept your offer. I...I don't feel the same way about you. I just want you as a friend. But I appreciate these details a lot, but I want to tell you in a better way that I don't feel the same way. I'm really sorry, Sam" Mia apologized sincerely.

"...Let me guess... It's all because of that Dylan?! What does he have that I don't?!" He said bothered.

"Hey, respect him. He never treated you badly. Look, he has nothing to do with it. I just don't see you in a romantic way, like you see me. But don't be sad. You're a good guy and I'm sure you'll find the right girl. Besides, we can still be friends" Mia said, trying to make this easy to assimilate for him.

"I knew it...Girls like you only care about the superficial! They're all the same! You only like handsome, popular, dumb guys like Dylan...You know what?! Forget it!" Sam decided to run away.

"Sam, come back! I don't...(sigh)" Mia was resigned when she saw the boy leave. She wanted to resolve it as nicely as possible, but it seemed the boy didn't want to accept the rejection. A short time later, someone else approached her.

"Mia…."

"Huh? Oh….Dylan…" Mia noticed her best friends presence.

"Did something happen?" He asked her. Mia explained to her about Sam's unexpected declaration of love and how she rejected him for simply not feeling the same way about him.

"...Do you think I did anything wrong? I mean...I have to be honest with him that I already have a guy in my mind..." Mia asked him worriedly.

"Don't worry about it. There's nothing wrong with rejecting someone you don't have the same interest in. Look, I've had to reject a few girls because I just have another girl in mind... People also need to learn to accept "no" as an answer... I really feel sorry for him, but he should also learn to respect the other person's feelings" Dylan explained at her.

"I think you have a point. Thanks a lot, Dylan. Whoever the girl you like is, she must be a lucky one to have you" Mia said with a smile.

"Well I hope your ideal guy reciprocates your feelings...He will be lucky if he has you" The two best friends gave each other a beautiful hug. However, someone saw them and gritted their teeth in rage.

From that day on, the days became darker for Sam. He couldn't stand seeing Mia staring at Dylan. That, plus the heavy bullying the boy received, began to transform him even more. That feeling of love he felt for Mia began to become an obsession. First, he stopped talking to her directly. Sometimes he wrote anonymous letters of sentimental spite. And although she suspected it was Sam, he always avoided her. In addition, Markus' help was no longer very positive. He began to help him sabotage things between Mia and Dylan. And although they made plans, they all failed. However, there was a sinister and sick plan. Not only could he help them in revenge, but he would fulfill a fantasy of Sam's. The fish boy entered the girls' locker room at the gym so he could take pictures of her while she undressed and took a shower. In addition to wanting to steal her... underwear. However, that wish was thwarted when he was ambushed by members of the football team. Viktor, his two lobster friends, and Daniel caught him and locked him in the men's locker room as a practical joke.

"Don't you think we went too far this time?" Daniel asked.

"Stop complaining about everything. Besides, this was your plan, wasn't it?" Viktor said.

"Yes, but only because that boy is stalking Mia and Dylan. I just wanted to teach him a lesson, not this" The blonde guppy admitted.

"Then stop bothering us. With this the ogre will stop bothering them. Let's go, boys" The captain of the team said before all of them left the place. Daniel felt a little bad, but since he was an accomplice or simply a witness and remained silent, he was equally guilty. So he decided not to protest. However, that practical joke would have a very serious consequence.

After that prank, Sam decided to meet up with Markus, his only friend he could trust. However, it was the same person who gave him some wrong ideas. And things were about to get worse.

"I'm so sorry, man. But that dumb Mia only notices that idiot Dylan. I warned you" Markus said quietly.

"I know but...I'm sick of it all! Of Mia's rejection...of everyone at school making fun of me! The teachers don't do anything! And my parents don't help! I wish they all paid for all this!" Sam said bothered. When Markus heard that, it was like music to his ears. He smiled sinisterly.

"Oh... Are you serious? Do you want to take revenge on our classmates?" Markus asked him.

"Yeah! I would do anything to make them pay!" The fish said.

"Then we can get on friendly terms, punk. Come with me to the room" Markus said evilly and took him to his room that had a "Do not enter" sign on it. It was the first time Sam had seen Markus' room. He was surprised when he saw that his room had pictures and symbols of not very pleasant things.

"What is all this, Markus?" Sam asked him, a bit scared.

"Welcome to my dark sanctuary...or rather, my room. Here I have some things from the people I admire the most: Genghis Khan, Vlad Tepes, Ivan the Terrible, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin. All of them were great men with one thing in common: They did what was necessary for their goals. But you know what? They are not my favorites. My idols are people we know well and...they were here!" The crazy boy showed him the images and symbols of his favorite characters.

"No….Are they…?!" Sam was shocked.

"...Yeah….Jane Cadaverini, James Graham, Scarlet White, Harris, Gregory Johanson, Robynn Stone…..And the best of all: Bossi Cadaverini! The Sinister Guppies!" Markus demonstrated his fanaticism for them by showing her pictures of them. In addition, he took off his shirt to show something disturbing. He had two tattoos on his chest. One was of the forbidden symbol that represents the ideology of the Austrian dictator of the 20th century and the other symbol was of the House of Cadaverini.

"The….The…Sinister Guppies….." Sam was a bit scared.

"To some they were monsters, but to me they are symbols! They didn't fear the law to do what was necessary. The Bubble Guppies are arrogant fools, someone should have put them in their place. How many times did they step on us and we wanted to return the favor. Well let me tell you that they were looked down upon by society just like us. But they rebelled against it and they were close to doing it... But they were stopped... Hehehe... I think it's time someone did the same" Markus pulled out a hidden suitcase he kept under his bed. He unlocked the key lock and opened it to reveal something disturbing: A small submachine gun!

"It's a weapon!" Sam was terrified.

"This weapon was part of the House of Cadaverini. A cousin of mine did business with them and that's why he got me this. Look, Sam... Don't you want to scare those who tormented us for years?" Markus proposed as he showed her his gun.

"Don't you think it's a bit excessive?" The fish asked him.

"Oh, come on! Have those bullies taken pity on us? They won't stop bothering us until we give them a big scare. Don't you think they deserve a taste of their own medicine? It's our time for justice. Those who rejected us and treated us like garbage will pay...What do you say? Do you want to be a god or do you want to be the scum of the school? That person that nobody loves...What do you say?" Markus proposed in an evil way. Inside Sam came that desire for revenge and hatred towards the people who mistreated him and those who did nothing to help him.

"(sigh) Im into this" Sam said, consumed by his own revenge's desire.

"Okay, my friend. Well said. I'll ask my cousin if he can get us another gun, bulletproof vests and some more toys. You'll see, no one will make fun of us again... I assure you" The twisted boy said with pure evil. He had something macabre in mind and wanted Sam to be his partner in crime. Something horrible would happen at BubbleTucky High School.

Over the next few days, Markus and Sam made preparations for a terrifying event. Thanks to some shady business dealings with Markus' cousin, both teenagers with antisocial tendencies had prepared their plan. They got weapons, bullets, bulletproof vests, gunpowder and materials so that Markus could make homemade bombs. Both had chosen a specific day to execute the macabre plan. They wanted to make all those who hurt them pay. The appointed day arrived. For many, it was just another normal day of classes. But no one imagined that everything would change so radically. We will focus on some beloved guppies.

"Are you ready for lunch?" Dylan asked.

"Almost there, I just need to do some math exercises and I'm done" Mia was writing her mathematical processes.

"You can finish it later" Dylan advised her.

"Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today. Besides, I have other pending tasks. If you want, you can go to lunch. Daniel is surely waiting for you" Mia said without taking her eyes off the notebook.

"Nah. He's with the guys from the football team. Besides, I don't mind waiting for you" Dylan sat down next to her and was ready to help her with the remaining exercises. However, something would ruin the moment and mark that day forever.

BOOM!

BANG! BANG! BANG!

They both froze when they heard those sounds. That was the detonation of a homemade bomb and gunshots were heard very close by.

"That...That sounded like it was nearby" Dylan said nervously.

"Let's get away from the windows and on the ground!" Mia threw herself to the ground along with her best friend. Both of them didn't know what was happening. The fire alarm started going off and there were some gunshot sounds. Screams of horror could be heard. Both teenagers didn't know what to do until the classroom doors suddenly opened.

"AHHHHHHH!"

"Everyone to the classroom now!" A teacher came in with some terrified students. Among them were Daniel with Viktor and his two other lobster friends. They were all terrified. While the kids were gasping for air, the teacher blocked the door with some desks and chairs.

"What's up, bro?" Dylan asked his twin brother.

"Man...This is the end...Those...Those guys are crazy! They want to kill us all" Daniel tried to recover air.

"Those two activated a homemade bomb in the cafeteria and started shooting at anyone in front of them…." Viktor added scaredly.

"WH-WHAT?!" Dylan and Mia were shocked.

"Shhhh! We don't want them to find us. I think they are looking for us" Viktor said quietly.

"I think we'll be safe like this" The teacher said tiredly. After many shots were fired, there was a terrifying silence. None of them wanted to make a single sound for fear of being found. However, something terrifying happened. The door and the desks and chairs blocking the exit were blown to pieces by a homemade bomb.

"Here they are, damned!"

Thanks to a brave teacher, they managed to contact emergency services to report the armed attack at BubbleTucky High School. The place was surrounded by squads of police and SWAT units. There were also ambulances and reporters. Law enforcement officers maintained a perimeter. At that moment, a couple of police officers we know well arrived.

"What's the situation, Agent Darcy?" Officer Miranda asked her.

"According to reports, there are two school shooters. Two teenagers apparently. They reported gunshots and two homemade bomb detonations. We have not yet located those responsible" Agent Darcy, the SWAT sniper agent we know, told her the information.

"We can't waste time. Mia and Deema's brothers are students here. The shooters could hurt them. I'm going in. Have two bomb squad officers accompany me. I'll go get the shooters. You two look for possible exits to evacuate" Officer Gil Gordon put on his vest and readied his pistol and decided to enter the high school bravely. The high ranking officers ordered everyone to stay in position, so as not to disturb the shooters too abruptly. Something that Gil completely ignored. At that moment, Molly and Deema arrived at the scene where they saw the crowd blocking the way.

"Mia! MIA!" Molly shouted scaredly.

"DYLAN! DANIEL!" Deema cried out in anguish when she heard nothing from her brothers.

We returned to the classroom where the horror was taking place. The teacher and the students were cornered by the shooters, who turned out to be two classmates.

"...S-S-Sam….Mar-Markus…." Viktor identified them with a fearful voice.

"So you finally call us by our real names. We thought you were going to keep calling us "ogre" or "vampire" But hey...I don't see you guys looking very brave now" Markus said evilly. He was dressed in military pants, a bulletproof vest and a black sweatshirt. Sam was dressed the same way. But Markus had a machine gun and Sam had a military-style shotgun.

"What does all this mean?!" Daniel asked worriedly.

"The day has finally come! The day when we will stop being the laughing stock of everyone at school! Now we, the victims, become the bullies. And the bullies, the victims. Aren't you guys so tough now? Go ahead and remember everything you did to us all these years" Markus said madly.

"Please stop... You are not bad... You just need help. Sam... Please look at me" Mia tried to calm them.

"Hmmmm…S-S-Shut up…" Sam said nervously with the shotgun in hand.

"What hypocrisy, Mia. You only treat him well because he has the power to take your life. Well, you're just as hypocritical as your older sister" The pale guppy smirked. Although that bothered Mia, she was smart. She couldn't risk her life.

"What do you say, Sam? Do we kill them all equally or do we kill them one by one? Oh! I know! Do you want to kill anyone with your shotgun? Pick who you want as your victim…" Markus, believing himself superior and powerful, approached the students and decided to pull Mia by the hair.

"Ahhhh!"

"Do you want to end the b*tch that rejected you?..." Markus released her on purpose to pull someone else's hair "Maybe the popular guy who stole Mia from you?" He pointed at Dylan "What about the teacher? How many times have you asked the teachers for help and they never helped?" Markus put the barrel of his gun to the head of the captain of the American football team. He was just shaking with fear "Or maybe Viktor...The boy who always made our life miserable"

"...Viktor...And Daniel!" Sam said angrily. Markus grabbed both boys and forced them to their knees. They were both terrified.

"Please let me go! I'll do anything! But let me live!" Viktor begged with tears.

"Hey, but why me? I never did anything to you!" Daniel asked with panic.

"You were always with them, making fun of me. You laughed with them. And you never did anything to stop them" Sam slowly reloaded his shotgun to execute them.

"Please stop! I don't want to die!" Viktor was crying.

"Ohhh...the little black boy is crying? Buah Buah Buah...and we should stop? Tsk Tsk How many times have we asked you to stop the teasing and joking? Consider this your karma, motherf*...Sam, do it!" Sam pointed his gun at the teenagers he had subdued. They were all scared and on the verge of tears. Mia and Dylan could only hold hands so they could face their fate together until the end. However, someone surprised the shooters.

"Hands up, you two"

"Huh?! O-O-Officer Gil!" Sam became very afraid.

"Ughh! Gil Gordon! Yuck! One of the worst guppies!" Markus said disgustedly.

"Put down your weapons now! I won't repeat it!" Gil said seriously.

"You're in no position to threaten us. Sam will kill them and I've got you in my sights. No options, cop. Sam, shoot them!" Markus smirked evilly.

"You are Sam... I know you... I saw you sometimes on my patrols... Mia mentioned you sometimes... And you are not that kind of boy" Gil stated with his negotiation.

"Y-Y-You You don't know anything about me! You don't know how much I suffered! You don't know how much they bothered me. You don't know how much rejection hurt me" Sam was shaking.

"I bet you felt alone. Look, I know it hurts to be bullied... But killing them is not the solution! After this, what? Do you want to be a murderer and lose your freedom? Revenge is not the solution... Believe me, I know... And rejection... is part of life... But we can take two paths. Or let the pain turn us into monsters or show that we can be better and stronger. I'm a police officer and I know that those who take the first path don't end well... Make a decision. Let it be the best one. There are people who love you... Don't do something that you will regret for the rest of your life. I can help you...But you have to let me help you" Gil negotiated with him. Sam just stared at the ground and took several seconds to drop the shotgun, leaving Viktor and Daniel alive.

"I…I….I I don't want to be a monster..." Sam started to cry.

"BAH! Don't be weak! Those bastards deserve death!" Markus shouted angrily.

"I can help you too. Make your partner's decision" Gil wanted to calm him too.

"HAHAHA! You think I'm weak like Sam? Real men will do whatever it takes to accomplish the goals. And these damned ones deserve Hellfire!" Markus had his burst gun ready to fire!

"NO!"

"MARKUS, DON'T!" The boy fired a volley of bullets that made everyone duck. Mia and Daniel almost suffered bullet wounds.

"MIA! BRO!" Dylan rushed to push them in time, but... "AAAAAGGGGGHHHHH MY ARM!"

"DYLAN!" Mia and Daniel screamed in terror. Dylan was injured and was covering his left arm which had bullet wounds.

"NOOOO!" Gil shot Markus in the arm.

"AAAAGHGHHH!" The pale boy was wounded in the arm. Before Gil could get close, Markus was resisting falling "I won't let you ruin this, Gil" The antisocial boy took out a gun that he had kept in case of emergency and wanted to shoot our beloved police officer.

"Long Live The House of Cadaverini!" Those words surprised Gil and Markus almost pulled the trigger if it weren't for a furry hero.

"GRRRRR ARF ARF!" Bubble Doggy managed to bite his hand so that Markus would drop his gun.

"AAAGHHH!" Markus screamed in pain and thought about hitting the dog, but Gil managed to get close to him and knocked him down so he could handcuff him once and for all.

"All right. The shooters have been apprehended. I need you to come take them away. And I need you to get medics immediately. I have wounded people here!" Gil quickly called by radio for operations to begin immediately.

The emergency operation began. The bomb squad managed to locate the homemade bombs that Markus had placed in the high school. Luckily for everyone, the bombs never detonated due to design flaws and they disarmed them. Markus was arrested against his will, although his gunshot wound was treated first. Sam turned himself in voluntarily and did not resist. Dylan was taken to the hospital for gunshot wounds to his left arm. About 20 young people who could have been injured were treated. Although the report ended with 10 significant injuries, 2 in serious condition and 2 students dead. This is very horrible news for the town of Bubble Tucky. First the Battle that happened years ago and now another tragedy occurred.

The news spread through the town and through the news reports. Criticism was made regarding how the weapons were obtained and the responses to bullying in schools. Many families were hurt because of the injured or dead children. In fact, we will take a look at a room in the hospital where a boy was opening his eyes.

"Ughhh…Hmmmm"

"Finally he woke up!"

"Dylan!" The boy noticed the presence of his family. His parents, his twin brother, Deema and her husband Goby and Mia.

"Bro! You had me so worried" Daniel said excitedly.

"Ugh...what? What happened? I only remember falling to the ground with my injured arm and from there...nothing" Dylan said tiredly.

"You saved me and Daniel...We were worried a lot" Mia said.

"Young Wahler is very brave and very lucky. We only had to remove two bullets from his left arm. You only have a few stitches in your arm. He just needs complete rest for a few days and no physical activity that requires excessive use of force on the arms for at least two months to be safe" The doctor explained his current condition to him.

"Well (sigh) No cheerleading for a while" Dylan said sadly.

"Don't worry. This time I'll be your cheerleader, cheering you on in your recovery" Mia winked at him. Making him blush.

"My little brother! Don't scare me like that again. I don't know what I would do if something happened to you" Deema hugs him very tightly.

"I'll be fine. The good thing is that it's all over. (sigh) I didn't think they would do something so horrible" Dylan commented, a bit surprised and kinda scared by the previous events.

"It's...my fault. I...I always saw how they teased him and played pranks on him. At first I thought it was funny, but over time I saw that it was wrong...But I didn't dare to stop Viktor. For fear of being kicked out of the team, I didn't say anything" Daniel apologized.

"Wait...Did you bother them too?" Mia asked him, a bit bothered

"No! No...No...Not directly...I think I was just laughing with them and...I planned just a joke...But! It was just to teach Sam a lesson because he was harassing you two. But still, I don't feel proud of it" Daniel explained a little.

"Daniel...(sigh) That's still bullying...Even if you haven't done anything directly, the fact that you remain silent makes you an accomplice. We'll talk about that later. For now, what matters is that our brother is fine" Deema said quietly.

Recovery would take time. Not only from the physical wounds, but also from the psychological ones. There was fear and insecurity in the following days. Mia and Daniel constantly visited Dylan during his recovery. Although the town also needed to recover after these traumatic events. Security was increased in the educational institutes in the following days. Some talks and debates were held about bullying and related issues. In addition, they decided to give professional talks in schools to talk about bullying, its consequences and solutions. Unfortunately, they acted a little late. But at least they should have done it so that something similar would not happen again.

Wow, when I said it would be a sensitive subject, I wasn't joking. For years I've seen news stories about events like this in schools, especially in the United States. I dared to touch on this topic because no one (or very few) talked about this in fanfiction or stories. I pray this stops. Children, teenagers and young people deserve to study without being bullied, or worse, without the fear that some person disturbed by hate will shoot innocent people in a school. And by the way, my condolences to the victims and families of the victims of these school shootings.

As you know, leave your reviews to know your opinions, positive points and even feedback to be able to improve. We will proceed to respond to the reviews from the last chapter.

PrimroseRaspberry: Hi there! It was a very sweet honeymoon. Maybe they didn't talk much but it was very sweet. I liked how they both showed their shyness and how little by little they decided to be more intimate in their own way. It's true that "that" didn't allow them to explore further, but for now Nonny has it under control. Sasaki has been involved in Yakuza since the beginning. We will see Yamato's fate soon.

SuperSonichero18: Hello! It was a nice chapter with spicy touches. Deema is definitely a bad influence lol. We'll see if Yamato will receive help or what.

GojiRaptor06: Hi, dude! This chapter was beautiful in romance, tenderness, sugar and spicy details. It is certain that Oona would be the first guppy to want to be a mother. However, it was Nonny who decided to protect himself because he is afraid that "his secret condition" could be inherited toward his baby. I'm glad you enjoyed it a lot and great things are coming.

RainbowFoxy1987: Hello there! The chapter was simply beautiful. This time, the trip to Japan was peaceful, with romance and without problems. The Japanese fair was very nice and the nature trails. It was fun to see them very shy and nervous in the onsen and in the hotel room. They were faster than Molly and Gil, and Goby and Deema. Could it be that the shy and quiet ones are more daring in secret? (wink) Let's hope that Nonny can continue to control his condition and that Yamato can somehow get rid of it.

That's all for now. See you in the next episode.

Post-Chapter

It is evident that these traumatic events would have consequences for the town. We will see two familiar people at the BubbleTucky Police Station.

"(sigh) And I thought this town was safer" Officer Miranda said herself. At that moment, her partner arrived after doing several important tasks. And a not very pleasant message "Oh! Gil….How was it?"

"Hmpt….That stubborn prosecutor TrialFang scolded me for acting alone. Luckily, it was only a verbal warning" Gil rolled his eyes.

"Well, he has a point. You should have gone accompanied" Miranda told him.

"I wanted to keep my sister-in-law and the others safe. Besides, if I had gone with someone, the cops would have killed Sam and Markus. I wouldn't want to have to kill... (sigh) Even though I finished off Blake... I'll only use this weapon as a last resort. Besides... Sam and Markus need psychological help" Gil explained.

"Speaking of them, how are they? Did you investigate their profiles?" The lobster woman asked.

"Both are locked up in the psychiatric center. Being minors they cannot be judged severely. They were diagnosed as mentally ill. Sam Williams is the only child of the Williams family, with diagnoses of social anxiety, social maladjustment, stress and depression. His academic record is good, but it seems that he received bullying that was not reported. And those who did not proceeded further. Bad approach to the girls, some even reported harassment. (sigh) For me he is a victim, he needed psychological assistance for a long time. I hope they give it to him" Gil showed the information.

"Hmmmm I think Oona is the best psychologist in the area. Do you think she can help him?" Miranda asked him.

"Maybe I'll ask her when she gets back from her honeymoon" The blue-haired guppy said.

"And what about the second perpetrator?" She asked.

"Markus Schulz. Youngest son of the Schulz family. Formed by mother, father, brother and him. His mother abandoned them and his father is a traumatized alcoholic by his participation in the Campaign in Afghanistan. It was thanks to his older cousin that he was able to get the weapons and put together homemade bombs. The worrying thing was his profile. He was antisocial, rebellious, committed crimes such as vandalism, petty theft and is suspected of killing two cats and a dog. In addition, his literary essays praised evil subjects such as dictators and serial killers. It is believed that he supported white supremacy and neo-Nazism. This is how he declared himself on internet forums...Another worse thing: He idolized Bossi Cadaverini and the Sinister Guppies. He had them as role models" Gil explained.

"He's too young to be such a psychopath" Miranda was surprised.

"The Sinister Guppies were no different...(sigh) Miranda, that kid was insane. Before he wanted to kill us he said: "Long Live the House of Cadaverini". It seems that even though the organization fell, it left its mark. We must investigate Markus as deeply as possible" The guppy said seriously.

What they didn't expect was how deranged Markus was. At the Psychiatric Center we see many patients. Sam started reading self-help books and it seems that he did regret his actions. And the staff knew that and they were going to help him redeem himself. The opposite case to Markus. He was locked up in maximum security. In his special room he had many fascist symbols and Cadaverini House marked on the walls with a marker. It had the names of the Sinister Guppies and Bossi on a makeshift altar drawn on it.

"OHHHHH! I wanted to top the feat of the Battle of BubbleTucky. And I will when I get out of here. One day, the House of Cadaverini will rise from the ashes. I believe that! LONG LIVE THE HOUSE OF CADAVERINIIIIII! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
