55 - You Can Win a Wish

Shoobeeshwas turned around from his couch and looked at Pepperoni with wide eyes. "What do you mean the boss died and was evil all along?" he asked with a shaky voice.

"What the hell does it sound like I mean?" Pepperoni responded, giggling to himself.

Ocean shook her head and said, "Nah, that's impossible. What did he even do so bad?" Floran stepped forward and said, "He was trying to lower the population by hiring assassins and summoning dragons."

Ocean and Shoobeeshwas looked up and nodded. "Yeah. Now that you say it, that does sound like something he would do." Ocean stated.

Emberlyn looked around for a bit and asked, "Wait. Where is the 4th member?"

Pepperoni turned to her and laughed nervously before saying, "Well about that..."

Meanwhile, member 04 was standing in front of a large group of soldiers. She was a serious looking woman with long, straight black hair, wearing a dark green army commander uniform. She gave a menacing look with her piercing eyes, and the army started shivering in fear.

"DO TWO HUNDRED PUSH-UPS OR I'LL THROW BRICKS AT YOU!" she shouted. One of the soldiers sighed in relief and whispered to another, saying, "Bricks? She thinks that's a punishment? I eat bricks for breakfast."

The soldier looked at him with a terrified look and replied, "No man. Those bricks over there." He pointed to a pile of house-sized bricks. 04 walked up to one of the bricks and lifted it up with one hand.

"NOW START!" she commanded. "YES MA'AM!" they all replied, instantly doing push-ups.

"Well, she's off doing her own thing right now." Pepperoni concluded. "So, what are we going to do now?" Shoobeeshwas asked.

Pepperoni turned back to him and replied, "We should help these guys. They are going to defeat the Triune which are apparently going to destroy all of reality."

"Well, where even are they?" Ocean asked.

"They are beyond all the sections." Lusha replied. "What are sections." Ocean asked. Lusha laughed and rolled her eyes. "Here we go again." she sighed.

One explanation later.

"And yeah. That's basically it." Lusha concluded. "Wow, you are very efficient in speaking." Ocean responded with a smile.

"Yeah yeah. Enough with the overused jokes. Just tell us if you know a possible way to get beyond the sections!" Floran shouted. Shoobeeshwas shrugged and replied, "The only way I can think of is beating the annual race which is conveniently starting in a few minutes. The winner gets to wish for anything."

Floran took Octopus Man by the back of the collar and began dragging him out of the room. "Come on. We're going." she stated.

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

"But I didn't get any biscuits." Octopus Man complained.

"Wait!" Pepperoni shouted. "You don't have a car." he said. Ocean laughed and nudged Pepperoni before saying, "Chill out. I'll let them use my car."

Brazilian Bug Boy looked at her with a surprised expression. "Really? You'd let us race your car?" Ocean nodded and responded, "Sure. It's pretty fast. Just don't crash it." She then tossed the keys over to Brazilian Bug Boy, but Octopus Man jumped in and caught the keys.

"Give the keys to me." Floran commanded. "Nuh uh. I'm the best driver ever and I'm going to win this race easily." Octopus Man said. Kookakoo then stepped in and nodded while crossing her arms. "Yeah! What, do you not trust Octopus Man?" she asked.

"THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M SAYING!" Floran yelled in response.

Lusha just smirked and said, "I trust him." Brazilian Bug Boy nodded and said, "So do I!"

Cutecumber shrugged and said, "Well he defeated an evil dictator. I'm sure he can drive a car."

Floran rolled her eyes and said, "Fine I'll let him drive. But if he crashes, it's all your guys' fault."

"Epic!" Octopus Man shouted, strutting out of the building. Emberlyn started trembling in fear. "I... I don't want to go in the car with you guys. I'm terrified of racing."

"You're the only other sane person here." Floran said.

Pepperoni walked after them and said, "Hey, just so you know. A famous driver from another country is competing. She is the best in the world, so you're going to have a tough time."

"Oh? What's her name?" Octopus Man asked. "Her name is Kate. From Myanmar. Her full name is Kate Myanmar, and it is completely coincidental."

Floran facepalmed and said, "We're not even on Earth, let alone our original section. Why are there so many countries from Earth being mentioned?"

"What's Earth?" Pepperoni responded.

"Okay, we're leaving now." Floran said. She had had enough of the goofiness.

Kookakoo looked at Octopus Man and said, "Make sure you never let Floran write a chapter. She will turn this story serious." Octopus Man nodded with a smile and replied, "Of course."

Ocean walked them to a giant garage. She stood next to a beautiful sportscar. She leaned against and said, "Here it is. One of the fastest cars ever built."

Brazilian Bug Boy and Cutecumber were in awe of how modern it looked.

"It also has a passive defense system and will fire a machine gun at any contestants who would try to run you off the track." Ocean concluded. Floran smiled. "This is amazing." she said quietly.

Emberlyn was still trembling in fear. It seemed safe enough, but the speed scared her. She looked at Lusha and asked, "I'm going to die in this car, aren't I?" Lusha looked at her and replied, "Yes, yes you are." Emberlyn started tearing up.

Octopus Man looked at it and turned around angrily. "Not good enough!" he stated in a haughty tone.

"WHAT?" they all yelled in shock.

Octopus Man walked out of the garage and whistled for Catalina. When she appeared, he looked at her with a serious expression and said, "Transform into a dog-shaped car."

Catalina barked and transformed into a car with a dog head on the front. "Now this is what I'm talking about." he said proudly.

Kookakoo jumped into the passenger seat of the car and shouted, "THIS IS AMAZING!"

Ocean smirked and said, "Welp, I guess you didn't need my help after all." Floran rolled her eyes and said, "Whatever." Floran said bluntly. She sat in the back of the car with an unamused face. "Get in everyone." she said in a monotone voice.

Cutecumber and Brazilian Bug Boy also got in the back. "There aren't any more seats in here." Cutecumber said to Lusha and Emberlyn.

Emberlyn let out a massive exhale of relief. Lusha laughed a bit and said, "It's okay. We'll root for you!"

Octopus Man stepped on the gas, and the car made a barking sound. Him and Kookakoo then burst out laughing. "JUST START THE DAMN CAR!" Floran shouted in frustration.

Octopus Man frowned. "Meany." he replied, before starting the car and driving off to the stadium.

Ocean walked up next to Emberlyn and Lusha and asked, "How do they know where the stadium is."

Lusha looked at her and replied, "Ah, another plot hole. Time to end the chapter."
