18 - The King

The group walked down the hallways of the mansion. Strangely, there were no guards in sight, and this caused them to be uneased.

"Why is this place to empty?" Cutecumber muttered, gripping her cucumber sword a bit tighter. "We are probably being spied on." Brazilian Bug Boy replied.

Floran looked around before speaking. "What ever you do be quiet." Just as she said this, the sound of Octopus Man building a barn with power tools filled the air. Cutecumber, Floran, and Brazilian Bug Boy rushed over to him in fear. "Octopus Man, are you out of your mind?" Cutecumber scolded.

Octopus Man pouted. "But this will help us." he said. Octopus Man swung open the barn door, and none other than Refrigerator Guy walked out of it, the most feared villain in all of existence.

Kookakoo stepped forward and slapped Refrigerator Guy, causing him to fly into a wall, killing him instantly.

"Was... was that Refrigerator Guy again?" Cutecumber questioned.

Just then a guard came from around the corner yelling, "WHAT IS ALL THAT NOISE?" before spotting them.

"Umm... we.." Octopus man looked around nervously before stepping forward and throwing a box of dynamite at him, causing a massive explosion. He turned to the rest of them and yelled, "QUICK, BEFORE MORE GUARDS COME!"

They nodded and started running towards the king's room. The group sprinted through the castle for what seemed like hours, going in every hallway. After a while, Cutecumber stopped and bent down to catch her breath. "We've searched everywhere. Where could the king's room be?"

"Maybe there." Kookakoo said, pointing at a giant golden door. The rest of them stared at the door with a shocked, yet confused expression. "This is why Kookakoo used to be a lead detective." Octopus Man stated.

Cutecumber had enough of Octopus Man and Kookakoo's insanity. She ignored them and kicked down the giant door, revealing a throne room with a man sitting on the throne. The man had wavy red hair and wore a velvet cloak and golden crown, which made it evident that he was the king. The king got up and shouted at them, "Who dares to disturb the king"

Floran stepped forward. "Tell us how to get to the Triune. I can sense their presence here in Landland, and I know you have information."

The king chuckled, "You think you can just waltz in here and demand answers? Guards, seize them!" he yelled, however there were no guards. Octopus Man laughed and said, "I knew you would do that, so I made sure to go back in time and kill the guards. Now, tell us where the Triune is or—"

Before he could finish, the king reached into his robe and pulled out a remote control. With a press of a button, a trapdoor opened beneath Octopus Man, sending him plummeting into a room filled with man-eating sharks.

Stolen story; please report.

Kookakoo, overwhelmed with worry, shouted down the trapdoor, "Octopus Man! Are you okay? but there was no response.

Cutecumber sighed with frustration. Gripping her cucumber sword tightly, she swung it at the king. However, the king just smiled. With surprising strength, he grabbed the cucumber sword mid-air.

Using the momentum, the king effortlessly tossed Cutecumber aside. She landed with a thud, yelling in pain as the impact injured her. The king remained seated on his throne with an arrogant smirk on his face.

Brazilian Bug Boy was ready to attack, but Floran held out her hand to stop him. She turned to him, whispering, "We need to catch him off guard." Floran then summoned her energy spikes from the ground. They impaled the king, but his body disappeared. The king reappeared behind them, scaring them. His laughter echoed throughout the room.

"You fools! This body you see is nothing more than a puppet, a mere projection of my true self which doesn't even exist within this dimension. No matter what you do to it, it will repair itself endlessly. You can't defeat me." he yelled.

Brazilian Bug Boy no longer cared about what Floran said. He pulled out his glowing sword. He quickly sliced the king in half, but just like before, the body disappeared and repaired itself out of thin air.

Floran gritted her teeth in anger. "Who even are you?" she shouted. The King chuckled as he stood tall. "I am King La! I have faced countless other beings from different universes and dimensions who said that they were the strongest, but they all fell to me." he declared.

Suddenly, the entire building started trembling. King La looked around in confusion, as did the rest of them. Kookakoo, who was still looking down the trap door, had a bright smile on her face as she shouted, "Octopus Man is safe!"

Octopus Man then jumped out of the trap door with all of the man-eating sharks by his side. "I tamed these little guys, now they work for me." he stated. He then started throwing the sharks at King La.

King La tried to deflect them. "Hey.. quit... stop that!" he shouted. Octopus Man quickly ran out of sharks to throw. King La dusted off his cloak and laughed. "Now you can't do anything except sit there with that stupid plush on your head."

Octopus Man's eyes widened in anger as he heard that. "No one makes fun of my octopus plush." he said in a intense tone. He then punched Kookakoo so hard she flew into a wall. "That's what I'll do to you if you make fun if my plush again." Octopus Man threatened.

King La smiled. "I am immortal, I can make fun of that stupid thing anytime I want." Kookakoo returned with bandages all over her body. Octopus Man quickly picked her up and threw her into a volcano. "DON'T TEST ME!" he shouted.

King La laughed and took out his staff. His staff was magical and could shoot laser beams. Kookakoo returned again in a full-body cast. "You are nothing compared to me!" King La shouted. He shot the laser at Octopus Man, who dodged it causing it to hit Kookakoo, incinerating her.

Octopus Man then shouts, "HOW DARE YOU HURT KOOKAKOO!" Octopus Man then rips King La's face off, causing him to fall over, only for his regeneration to happen again.

Brazilian Bug Boy yelled to Octopus Man, "It won't work, King La's body will always regenerate because he doesn't exist in this dimension!" Octopus Man chuckled as he looked at the king. "I don't care, I'm going to beat this guy to find the Tripod."

"Triune" Floran corrected.

"Tiger" Octopus Man said.

"TRIUNE!" Floran corrected again, louder.

"Microphone" Octopus Man said. Floran rolls her eyes.

"Whatever it is, I don't really care. I'll beat this guy cause I want to go home and eat biscuits!" Octopus Man declared. King La smirked, preparing himself for Octopus Man's attack.

"I'm okay!" Kookakoo shouts.
