10 - A Fork in the Road

10 - A Fork in the Road

As Catalina, now the 17th dimensional airplane, soared higher and higher, the crew started breaking through the dimensional barrier. With a burst of energy, they emerged on the other side. They were amazed by the beautiful landscape of the hovering island.

Octopus Man, Kookakoo, Cutecumber, and Floran couldn't contain their excitement. They cheered as they landed on the ground. The floating island stretched out in all directions, and the biscuit compass continued to point forward.

"Way to go, Catalina!" Octopus Man shouted over the loud sound of the engines, giving the plane a pat. Catalina barked joyfully.

Kookakoo looked around with a huge smile. "Octopus Man, this place is incredible! Look at those rainbow colored trees, they're like something out of a dream!" she shouted as she pointed at them.

Cutecumber, despite remaining calm, couldn't help but admit, "Yeah, it's not bad up here." She twirled her cucumber sword in her hand, appreciating the beauty of the floating island.

Octopus Man nodded. "Glad you like it! But remember, we've got to find ASS and put an end to their sock-hating ways." Floran also nodded. "Yeah, Octopus Man is right, that disgusting organization has to be stopped!"

As they walked through the island, Kookakoo's happy expression disappeared and she started to hang her head in sadness. "What's on your mind, Kookakoo?" Octopus Man asked.

Kookakoo sighed. "I just... I wish we could have brought the dinosaur man with us. He's been through so much, and it feels wrong leaving him behind."

Cutecumber spoke up. "Yeah, I get it. A giant dinosaur pet would be pretty cool."

Floran shook her head in disappointment. "Kookakoo, you are acting like Boomerang died. He's fine so stop worrying." Kookakoo, looking a bit confused, tilted her head and asked, "Who's Boomerang again?" Floran facepalmed.

As they continued to banter, a giant snake emerged from the ground. Floran quickly stood in front of the rest of them and yelled, "STAY BACK!" for their safety. The snake lunged at them. As it did so, Floran reached out her hand, firing multiple energy bursts at it.

Kookakoo pouted and mumbled to herself, "I wish I could do math magic like that."

Despite the immense power of Floran's magic power, the snake was completely unharmed. Seeing that Floran's magic was ineffective, Kookakoo stepped forward, prepared to use an explosive math equation, but before she could do so, the giant snake lunged at her.

Cutecumber's eyes widened in fear as Kookakoo was about to be eaten. She unsheathed her cucumber sword and was ready to attack, but the snake was too fast. Octopus Man leaped and grabbed Kookakoo, causing the snake to miss.

"Good thing I'm the fastest being in all of existence." Octopus Man gloated. The snake then grew even more angry and lunged at Octopus Man while he was gloating. The snake consumed Octopus Man in one bite causing Kookakoo, Cutecumber, and Floran to freeze in shock.

Kookakoo started crying and fell to her knees while saying "He never returned that movie from the library and now I'm gonna be stuck with the late fee." Cutecumber then hit Kookakoo on the head for being so insensitive.

Octopus Man then opens the snake's mouth and hops out and shrugs. "Eh, it was a good tour but the gift shop sucked." Kookakoo, Cutecumber, and Floran unanimously yelled "OCTOPUS MAN! YOU'RE ALIVE?"

Octopus Man smiled and said "Yeah, being digested wasn't too fun. Good thing my bones are made of reinforced steel." Kookakoo cheered in happiness.

The snake hissed in anger, and a mysterious figure emerged from its mouth. The man was dressed in a black robe and had messy black hair. He yelled, "I am Supper Man. The man who controls all snakes."

The group was caught off guard and they took a step back as Supper Man laughed, "You fools! I am an agent of ASS, sent to eliminate those who dare oppose our influence!"

Cutecumber was not afraid. She drew her cucumber sword and stepped forward. "If you think we'll let an agent of ASS stand in our way, you're mistaken!"

Kookakoo once again prepared to unleash her explosive math equations, while Octopus Man summoned Catalina in her ray gun form. Floran also got ready, harnessing her 16th dimensional magic in her hands.

Supper Man chuckled menacingly. "You can try to resist, but the power of ASS is unmatched."

As they all raced towards him, he smiled as he allowed them to try and damage him. Cutecumber could not even lay a scratch on his skin with her cucumber sword. Floran attempted to restrict him with magical chains, however he snapped them as if they were twigs.

"Stand back everyone, I'm gonna use a powerful magic attack!" Kookakoo shouted. Floran nodded and teleported the rest of them miles away as Kookakoo fired off "20 x 20 = 400!" This equation caused an explosion so devastating that the world of the Fiji Islands below them, which was separated by a 17 dimensional barrier, felt the shake of the blast.

As the dust settled, Kookakoo froze as she noticed it had no effect. Supper Man simply stared with an evil grin. Floran then teleported the rest back and they all realized that ASS was truly one of the most powerful organizations ever.

Octopus Man knowing that the Catalina ray gun would likely not be affective tossed it aside. He yelled "I DIDN'T WANNA USE THIS, BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE!" He pulls out a can of sardines.

Kookakoo gasped. "Octopus Man! Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" she asked. Octopus Man nodded with a smirk. "Yup! Pass me the USB stick." Kookakoo smiled as if she had been waiting for this moment her entire life. She pulled a USB stick from her pocket and tossed it to Octopus Man.

Octopus Man laughed. "TAKE THIS! THE ULTIMATE USB SARDINE ATTACK!" This attack was so powerful that simply observing could cause someone to go utterly insane. Octopus Man combined the sardines and the USB stick which transformed it into a Catalina ray gun. "Now I'll definitely win!" Octopus Man shouted.

Floran looked at Cutecumber confused. "Didn't he just act like that wouldn't work?" Cutecumber sighed and said, "I don't question it anymore."

As Octopus Man fired the ray gun, the blast was so condensed that it caused a black hole to form on Supper Man. They all watched in anticipation to see if it would work, but when the black hole dissipated, Supper Man simply stood there smiling.

Octopus man and Kookakoo both fell to their knees, and they both yelled out, "That was the absolute attack. How did it not work?"

Supper Man laughed once more. "Now it's my turn." he stated bluntly. He summoned two snakes which bit both Octopus Man and Kookakoo. Supper Man laughed. "You have been bitted by a venom which turns you against each other." Cutecumber and Floran watched in shock to see what would happen.

Immediately Octopus Man put a gun to Kookakoo's head. "Got a message from HQ. Your services are no longer needed." He says with no emotion. Kookakoo turned with tears in her eyes. "But John, what about all the drug cartels and mob bosses we took down?" Octopus man sighed. "Bosses orders are final." A gunshot can be heard and a black screen which says "THE END" is shown.

In the theater Supper Man is crying "What an emotional ending." Kookakoo who was sitting next to him eating popcorn nodded. "I was the actress who played female lead you know." Supper Man looked shocked "Wait really? I would love your autograph.. WAIT A MINUTE! WHY ARE YOU NOT AFFECTED!"

The group was back at the floating island and Octopus Man made a heroic pose as he explained, "You see. Me and Kookakoo are part Australian, meaning we are immune to mind control."

Cutecumber then chimed in. "AND I'M ADORABLE!"

Supper Man had never been more angry. He started powering up, harnessing the full extend of his power.
