Today's Adventure: Mupp-Duction (pt.7)

Last time, Leo, Skeeter, Bean Bunny, Sabrina, Alison, Floyd, Janice, Dr. Teeth, Zoot, Lips, Clifford, Dolores, Kaitlyn, Animal, Sam, Danny, and Mike had arrived in Gulag. Soon, seventeen hooded hoodlums (six of them being the Moopets, being hired by Doc Hopper), ambushed our heroes. They threatened the heroes to give them what they wanted, but they refused. Thusly, the Moopets bragged about the way they tortured Leah and threatened to do away with her. Bravely, Leo offered to take her place as prisoner. Miss Poogy said that she agreed, provided that they agreed that they'd have a right to the Electric Mayhem, Leo would stay in Gulag for the rest of his days, and not a word of this could go to anyone, or he and all of his friends and the people he told would die! Would Leo agree?

"Leo, please!" Leah yelled.

"Think about what you are doing!" Janice yelled.

"I implore you, Leo, don't do it!" Sabrina begged.

"Leo, don't do this!" Floyd averred.

What would Leo do?

*************************************************************

Leo came towards Janooce, Miss Poogy, Kermoot, Animool, Roowlf, and Foozie and held his hands out, indicating that he wasn't armed.

"Leo, don't be stupid!" Sam yelled. "Be sensible!"

"Leo, please, don't!" Bean Bunny implored.

"Yo, don't you be no fool, man," Clifford warned.

"You mustn't do this, Leo!" Danny protested.

"You'd be a fool to submit to them!" Mike voiced.

"You'll get tortured or killed!" Alison screamed.

"Well, how about it, partner?!" Roowlf growled.

"Leo, please!" Leah whined. "I'm begging you! Please!" Leah started to cry.

But, Leo would not heed his sister, nor any of his friends. With a deed in his hand, he surrendered it as well as himself to the disgusting degenerates.

"Oh, no!" whined Sabrina. "Lord, why?"

Dr. Teeth hugged Sabrina. "Sssh, Sabrina, honey. Just cry it all out."

Sabrina hugged Dr. Teeth right back.

"There goes the hardworking band," sobbed Janice, dabbing at her eyes. Lips hugged her.

"And our beloved Leo," Lips sputtered.

Foozie squeezed his hands avariciously. "Now, that is what I am talking about."

Skeeter glared at the Moopets. "If I had the power, I'd screw you guys up one by one!"

But, a nasty voice responded to Skeeter: "And good-bye, Leah, afterwards!"

All at once, all eyes were on Constantine and Doc Hopper.  

Kaitlyn hissed, and her eyes turned dangerous, as did Animal's. "CONSTANTINE!!!!!" Kaitlyn growled.

"AND HOPPER, THE WRECK-UP FROM THE NECK UP!" Floyd yelled.

Doc Hopper came to Floyd, scowling. "Would you lahk to git wrecked up there, boy?"

Zoot, hugging the sobbing Leah, stared at Constantine. "You are the reason that my beloved Leah looks like this? You are the most baleful, disgusting, spiteful, and abhorrent amphibian on the face of the Earth!"

"Oh, well, I certainly can't take all of the credit," Constantine shrugged it off, showing that he did not care about what he has done, "I couldn't have done it all without Hopper and the Moopets."

"And your offer, as reluctant as it was," Kermoot pointed out.

"Listen to me: Why are you doing this?" Danny inquired, angry tears coming from his august eyes. "What did either Leah or Kermit ever do to you? Any of you other despicable fools, for that matter?!"

"You don't seem to comprehend this, do you, my bespectacled, pot-bellied feathered friend," Constantine said.

"Sticks and stones, imbecile," Danny's voice was like ice.

"Kermit's robbed me of my and Hopper's well-deserved fame!" Constantine snarled. "That should be our faces on the Muppet Show posters. Us with the most well-known stars! Our friends, should be rock stars!"

"But thanks to dimwitted, dopey Kermit," Kermoot sassed.

"And his friends, like his airheaded pig girlfriend and the blue freak," Miss Poogy added.

"The flighty, bubbleheaded bruin," Foozie snapped.

"The know-it-all brown mongrel and the four-eyed doodlebug, Scooter," Roowlf said, "our chances of fame is a little slim to none."

Skeeter looked angry. She pulled Roowlf upward. "Don't you ever speak of my brother like that again, you detestable college clown!" she growled.

Animool began to gnaw at Skeeter's legs. Animal fixed him with a lethal stare and growl.

"STAY BACK!" Animal said.

"And as far as Leah goes," Constantine said lasciviously, "She is very special to me. I'd like her to be my wife. I've treating her proper, worry ye not."

"Hey, nah, with all due respect, son," Hopper said, "Mah eye was on her first."

"You call it proper to abuse a girl if you aren't given what you want?!" Lips yelled.

"Lippy, don't stoop to this dweeb's level," Dolores said.

"And side note, neither of you shall ever have a chance to be Leah's husband! I'm the one who's claimed her heart!" Zoot said. "I'm the husband, not you clowns!"

"Yeah, a late husband!" Doc Hopper pulled out a gun. Aiming at Zoot, he fired it at him.

Leah shielded Zoot's body. "Oh, my gosh! NOOOOOOOOO! Don't hurt my beloved Zoot!"

But, before the bullet could pierce Leah's heart, Leo jumped right in front of it. It went into Leo's heart. With a scream he fell on the floor. Leah, Skeeter, Bean Bunny, Sabrina, Alison, Floyd, Janice, Dr. Teeth, Zoot, Lips, Clifford, Dolores, Kaitlyn, Animal, Sam, Danny, and Mike stared at the poor fallen hero.

"LEO!!!!" Leah wailed. She flung herself on her brother's body. "Oh, no! Please, Leo! Look at me! Look at me! Please, stay with me, my brother!"

Janice, Zoot, and Lips came to Leo's side. "Leo, honey, you've got to hang on!" Janice said.

"Brother, I beg you, stay alive," Zoot implored.

"I'm afraid that I can't, you guys," Leo said softly, blood seeping from his heart. "It appears that my career as a trumpeter, brother, and dancer nears completion."

"What?" Danny asked, not wanting to believe it.

"It can't be," Alison said.

"Brother, there's got to be a way...." Lips tried to say.

But Leo shook his head. There was nothing that can be done.

"Do me a favor," Leo stared at Zoot. "Watch out for my Leah, and protect her from these and all the other clowns in this world. Okay? And that goes for the rest of you guys, as well. I had fun playing with you guys. I really loved hearing your piano-playing, Teeth, man. Clifford, you always turned my rainy days to sunshiny ones. Dolores, you were an angel to me. Floyd, you taught me how to be confident in what I do. And Animal, I loved you, even when you would gnaw my legs for fun."

Zoot, Dr. Teeth, Clifford, Dolores, Floyd, and a tearful Animal nodded, giving their amen.

Then, Leo stared at Leah's friends. "Skeeter, I am so glad that Scooter has a strong, beautiful sister on his side. Bean, you are the bravest bunny I know. Sabrina, I thank you for being a great friend to my sister and me. Kaitlyn, you are a beautiful and purr-fect friend to me. I'm glad you are a part of my family. Alison and Danny, you've always gave me euphoria, comfort, and wisdom. And Sam and Mike, as mule-headed and terribly ornery as you two were, I am blessed for having met and known you."

Skeeter,  Bean, Sabrina, Kaitlyn, Alison, Danny, and even an iron-willed, venomously stubborn birds, Sam and Mike, began to drop tears.

Leo then looked at Lips, Janice, Zoot, and the tearful Leah. "Lips, thanks for being such a great, magnificent brother. It was you who bought me my first trumpet. Zoot, you were, and still are, the best thing that's ever happened to my sister. And don't cry, Janice. Those tears don't become your beautiful face. Nor they yours, Leah. I've been honored to be a brother and friend to you all."

Lips began to cry. Janice buried her head in Lips chest. As Leo breathed his last, Leah inched closer to him. "Leo, don't go! Leo, please!"

But, he collapsed on the ground, lifeless. 

"LEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!" Leah wailed and sobbed, her head tilted in the air.

Skeeter, Bean Bunny, Sabrina, Alison, Floyd, Janice, Dr. Teeth, Zoot, Lips, Clifford, Dolores, Kaitlyn, Animal, Sam, Danny, and Mike mourned for Leo's death.

"My brother," Leah whispered. "My dearest brother....he was the light in my life. He was my best friend. He was an angel...my heart.....my soul....now, he is no more......." he stared at Hopper, and pointed at him. "...........thanks to YOU!"

Hopper shrugged. "That's one twerp that I'll not put up with and will not be mourned."

This comment made Leah grow angrier. "Twerp? You wanna talk to me about one being a twerp, you disgusting ratchet-brain? You and these blowholes kidnap me in order to have my friends give you things that you could not possibly hope to gain, you tried to kill my boyfriend, and you were successfully in killing my brother, and you have the nerve, and the audacity to call him a twerp? Well, let me tell you something, brother! Leo was more of a man than you or Constantine can ever hope to be! And to the Moopets, all of you are in it, too! You shan't get away with what you have done!"

Leah balled up her fists. Skeeter, Bean Bunny, Sabrina, Alison, Floyd, Janice, Dr. Teeth, Zoot, Lips, Clifford, Dolores, Kaitlyn, Animal, Sam, Danny, and Mike followed suit and stared malevolently at Hopper, Constantine, the Moopets, and the hooded jerks.

"The gates of hades beckon you all!" Leah bellowed. 

The hooded fools, Moopets, Hopper, and Constantine pulled out their guns, cornering out heroes.

"Funny, I was about to say the same about you all!" Constantine sneered.
"You see, it was first 'good-bye, Leo!' Now, it's 'good-bye Leah, and the rest of the meddling kids!" 


Now with Leo murdered, will Leah and her friends be destroyed as well? Who will save them from being bumped off themselves? Tune in for pt. 8!
