44 - A Well Earned Break

44 - A Well Earned Break

The group arrived at the city. It was extremely futuristic compared to Earth. It looked very similar to Smoothie City, as there were flying cars everywhere.

Octopus Man gasped when he saw a hotel. "Can we stay here. We've been walking for so long." he begged.

Floran rolled her eyes and said, "We need to defeat the Triune. We can't be wasting time."

Brazilian Bug Boy scratched his head. "To be honest, I'm kinda tired too." he said quietly. Emberlyn nodded in agreement. Kookakoo's eyes were droopy. "Yeah, I'm tired too." she said.

"IT'S THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY!" Floran yelled in anger. "Yeah, but I'm sleepy." Kookakoo replied with a yawn.

Floran sighed and turned to the hotel. "Fine. As a higher dimensional angel, I don't need rest, but I guess you guys really do." she conceded.

They all walked into the hotel, and Floran turned to Dinkleflop. "Sorry for getting you caught up in all of this." she said. Dinkeflop shook his head and replied, "No it's okay. This place most likely is where the criminal I'm chasing is anyway." Floran nodded in response, and continued walking into the hotel.

Octopus Man went up to the front desk and said, "1 room, 8 beds please." Brazilian Bug Boy stepped up and said, "Uh, there is no way they have a room that large. We should all just get different rooms."

The receptions looked at the computer on the desk and replied, "Woah, you're in luck, our last 8 bed room just opened up."

Brazilian Bug Boy looked surprised. Octopus Man just took the room get and walked to the elevator.

When they arrived at their room, it was massive. Cutecumber looked around with a smile and said, "This room is really nice." Floran then turned to her and said, "No no no. You're sleeping on the floor outside."

Cutecumber had a devastated look on her face. "Pretty please, forgive me." She looked at Floran with her signature adorable face.

Lusha then stepped in and said, "Come on Floran, give her another chance." Floran stepped back and shouted, "No way!"

"BE QUIET!" Kookakoo yelled. She then got in her bed and fell asleep. She was holding Octopus Man's plush octopus in her arms.

"HOW DID YOU GET THAT!" Octopus Man yelled. He grabbed Kookakoo and threw her out of the window. Brazilian Bug Boy looked down to see Kookakoo splattered against the concrete. People on the ground were in shock.

"Don't throw people off the 51st level." Brazilian Bug Boy said, scolding Octopus Man.

Octopus Man retrieved his plush octopus and placed it on his head again. "She deserved it." he mumbled to himself.

Kookakoo then walked back in through the door and went right back to her bed and fell asleep again.

"Whatever. Just go and get some sleep guys." Floran said, anxious to defeat the Triune as fast as possible. They all got in bed and fell fast asleep instantly. "How do they do that?" Floran asked herself.

Dinkleflop hadn't got in a bed yet. Floran turned around to face him and asked, "What about you?" Dinkleflop opened the door and walked out of the room. "I'll be right back. I just need to do some research on that criminal I was chasing."

"Well, be quick or we'll leave without you tomorrow." Floran said sharply. Dinkleflop nodded and started walking down the hallway.

When Dinkleflop existed the hotel, he thought back to when Octopus Man threw Kookakoo outside of the window. While Brazilian Bug Boy was focused on Kookakoo's corpse, he was paying attention to the distance. He saw some shady figures in an alleyway. It probably wasn't the criminal he was chasing, but he needed to be sure.

Dinkleflop walked up to the alleyway he remembered seeing, and there was nobody there. He raised his fist, which was still covered with his party hat. "Anyone here?" he said loudly. There was no response.

As Dinkleflop kept walking down the dark alley, he felt his feet hit something. He was in shock when he saw that it was a dead body. The corpse's mouth was filled with grape juice.

"Who do we have here?" an ominous voice said. Dinkleflop quickly turned around to see a man with crazy eyes walking towards him. The man was holding a wooden backscratcher.

"WHO ARE YOU!" Dinkleflop yelled. "Since you asked, I'm Scratchy." The man replied. His hair was white as snow, and he looked completely insane. "I think I'm gonna kill you." Scratchy concluded nonchalantly.

Dinkleflop once again raised his fist and prepared to strike Scratchy with his party hat. "Stand back!" Dinkleflop warned.

Without warning, Scratchy zoomed towards Dinkleflop and started scratching him with his backscratcher. Dinkleflop started laughing hysterically. "STOP IT!" he yelled through his laughs.

Scratchy had the unique ability to tickle people to death with his backscratcher. Despite the tickling, Dinkleflop managed to kick Scratchy backwards. Dinkleflop then quickly regained his footing and charged at him.

The point of Dinkleflop's party hat was just about to strike Scratchy's eye and deal a fatal blow, but he suddenly was dragged backwards by a force of some sort. Dinkleflop was once again found himself on the ground.

"Good job Jinjin!" A voice of a girl said. "Thanks Mimi!" another voice said, also of a girl. Dinkleflop turned around to see two girls dressed in green and yellow armor respectively, both holding magic wands.

The girl in the green armor said, "I'm Jinjin!" The girl in the yellow armor then said, "I'm Mimi." They stood together and did heroic poses. "We are the grape juice magical girls!" They said simultaneously.

Dinkleflop looked very confused. "How did you drag me back." he yelled. Mimi let out a high-pitched giggle and said, "We have the power to manipulate the grape juice essence that resides in the souls of every living being."

Dinkleflop gritted his teeth in anger. Just as he was about to stand back up, Scratchy stepped on him. "ACK!" Dinkleflop shouted in paint.

"Come on out buddy!" Scratchy yelled. Dinkleflop's eyes widened as he saw another figure walking up. It was a life sized can of grape juice.

The can of juice spoke in a very formal tone. "I am Can of Grape Juice." it said. It then tilted its head and was about to pour grape juice into Dinkleflop's mouth, which would cause him to choke, just like the other victim.

"SOMEONE HELP!" Dinkleflop shouted at the top of his lungs. Jinjin and Mimi just giggled together and Scratchy had a sadistic smile on his face.

From the shadows, a figure, faster than the eye could see, swooped in. A knife slash was heard, and Scratchy jolted, as if he had felt something.

Can of Grape Juice lifted its head up and said, "Scratchy, I believe another person is attempting to give us a warning. I sense that it is dangerous to stay here."

Scratchy looked around and felt his back, "Yeah. I felt something hit my back. We'll tell the boss about this. Come on, let's go."

The 4 of them began walking out of the alleyway. Dinkleflop was surprised his life was spared. He looked up to see them leaving and Jinjin turned around and stuck out her tongue at him. "You're got lucky this time." she said angrily. She then turned back around.

Dinkleflop's heart felt like it stopped when he saw the back of Scratchy's shirt. There were 3 very recognizable knife marks on it.
