Chapter 15
Later in the evening as C$ slept, dorkelf quietly slipped a key into his cell door. He turned it and it made an ear-piercing squeek that reverberated throughout the small cell room. C$ turned toward dorkelf, let out a loud snore and drooled on his Jump 5 pillow. He was a very sound sleeper, as long as he managed to have a cookie and milk before bed.
The cookie jar was on the other side of the bed from C$. Dorkelf approched it with trepidation. He had to know...he already suspected it now, because the aroma of the cookies could already be smelled even while the jar was closed. He opened the jar and extracted a cookie, looked at it carefully, salivating but not daring to eat it. Unmistakably, it was a minion cookie. He looked down at C$, shook his head with pity. Only five cookies left, and then...dorkelf shuddered. He placed the cookie back in the jar and left, shaking his head.
A few days later, C$ sprang from his cell a free man, with just enough time and Minion Cookie left inside him to place a smuggled thermal charge from Dorkelf on Maid Mirawyn's cell door while no one was looking. (he had been banned twice before, so everyone figured he'd just follow protocol like he usually did) The blast seared open the titanium door (it was quality pyrotechnics, being made by ajmuncha (resident pyromaniac)) in a matter of seconds.
"Maid.... I.... must... not.." C$ struggled with the cookies inside of him, trying to resist being made a minion.
"Don't fight it, boy!" hissed Maid Mirawyn, who had given up gnawing off her own leg after she found out that it hurt too much. She was still hanging there, and her face was red and swollen from the blood rushing to her head.
"You... foul..." he sputtered, but he found his body acting against his will. His out-of-control hand brought forth a knife that Dorkelf had also smuggled to him, and it sliced through Maid's stuck sock and she fell to the floor.
"Now, I want you to go and take care of one2dredd. Understand?" she barked.
"You... you can't do this!!" cried C$, but the minion cookies forced him to do her will.
"Ta-ta! I'm off to assist HCS. I really shouldn't tell you this, but-" she leaned closer to him, wrinkling her nose at the smell of his minion cookie breath, "-we're going to melt the polar caps and watch from space as you all perish. You knoww, the sea tides will cover the entire United States with four and a half feet of water..." she whispered into his ear.
"Four foot six?!" he cried. "You won't kill anyone with that except..." his eyes grew wide.
"Yes, Souphead my boy... Gary Coleman." She cackled and took off down the hallway, and C$ followed unwillingly but forced by the will of the dreaded Cookie to "take care of" Dredd.
C$ struggled to rid himself of the Minion Cookies as he stood before One2dredd.
"Yes, C$?" asked dredd absentmindedly as he typed away at an email to the President of the U.S.
"I... I... RUN, DREDD!!! RUN WHILE YOU CAN!!" screamed C$, clutching his stomach in agony as the Minion Cookies burned his stomach in retaliation to his defiance.
"Wha-?" started dredd, but he could see glowing letters through Soup's thin T-shirt. It said "Made, with love, by MaidMirawyn!"
"MINION COOKIES?!" he cried, backing out of his chair and reaching for his trusty paintball gun.
"RUN, DREDD! I...." C$ yelled, but his face changed in mid-sentence.
"I... believe you are... in need of... disposing!" he croaked with a maniacal grin.
"You can fight this, Soupboy!" shouted dredd vehemently, trying to dissuade C$ from his destructive mission.
"Don't get yourself banned again!" he added, halfheartedly. Soup replied in a rumbling bass voice that a 15 year old should not possess.
"Do not make this any more painful for yourself than it needs to be!" he bellowed, grabbing Dredd's office desk and tossing it at him as if it weighed nothing. Dredd ducked just in time and managed to pepper his assailant with frozen paintballs (OUCHY WAWA), but C$ only laughed.
Suddenly, Darth Dapor ran into the room.
"I'M HERE! I'M HERE! DID I MISS ANYTHI..." he shouted, and stopped in mid-leap when he saw the situation.
"CURSE YOU, MIRAWYN!!!" He bellowed. "CUUUUUUUURSE YOOOOOOOOOU!!!"
C$ turned to toss a water cooler at him but was surprised by Darth's speed. In half a second, Darth Dapor had leaped across the room and slammed his fist into Chicken Soup's cheek, sending him flying across the room. C$ moaned and almost lapsed into unconsciousness when the cookies, now in his intestines, burned with such an intensity that he could not do anything but try to stand once more. But, with another super-human leap, Darth was in front of him.
"IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD, SOUP!" he yelled, shoving a bottle into C$'s mouth. In a few moments, it was drained, and C$ choked on the foul stuff.
"What was that?!" he cried. "Tell me it was ipecac syrup! It's the only way to free me!"
"It's too far down to do that now, I'm afraid," replied Darth coolly. "I had to use liquid laxatives. It's cherry flavor, but I've heard it taste rancid."
C$'s eyes grew wide with horror as he heard a gurgling in his belly.
"I've... I've got to go to the bathroom!!" he screamed, running out of the room.
[EDIT: Sorry C$, we'll have to leave the bathroom events to the reader's imagination.]
[EDIT: n00bcat. I liked that scene]
"Greetings, Armandus," said Hescominsoon. "I appreciate your services."
"The pleasure is all mine," replied Armandus, fingering a switchblade in his hand, the 10-inch blade gleaming in the moonlight.
"Did you recieve your mission briefing?" inquired HCS.
"Yeah, you want me to go steal the International Space Station or something," snorted Armandus.
"Commandeer. We're going to commandeer the ISS. Nautical term."
