The Finale
The pups entered the guest room where Rolly was at, Lucky jumped onto the bed first and sat down. “Hey, you doing any better?” he asked his plump brother.
“Still painful but I should be better soon.” Rolly answered before he saw Cadpig, he freaked out just seeing her. “KEEP HER AWAY!!!” He yelled.
“Easy Rolly, she’s fine now.” Two-Tone spoke up trying to calm the now freaked out puppy.
“Yeah, Tac messed with her head and made her rabid. But she’s fine now and that’s all that matters.. Except we might be hearing a lot from Spot’s mom I’m afraid, with her very sick it’s most likely we won’t be able to even hang out with her.” Lucky sighed, on his mind was something else, his near killing of Tac.
“How did you guys help Cadpig? She could have torn you guys apart.” Rolly asked
“Lucky did most of the work.” Answered Cadpig.
“Surprised Two-Tone didn’t help.” Rolly laid back down wincing a little
“I couldn’t since that scrawny runt of a psycho drugged me and held me prisoner and made me watch Cadpig maul you and everything else till Dipstick released me.” Two-Tone explained to Rolly
“I might have done something I could have never dreamed I would..” Lucky looked down.
“What did ya do Luck?” Rolly asked noticing his best friend turning away.
“He almost killed Tac with his bare paws.” Two-Tone answered for Lucky whom simply nodded to confirm it, Rolly for his most part was shocked at what he had heard.
“You mean Lucky almost killed him??” Rolly asked
“Yeah.. It was like I wanted him to die for all the things he made us suffer through, all the lies he used to sway mom and dad with. I wanted him to suffer for trying to kill our sister using rabies as an excuse, all my emotions exploded and I… I nearly snapped his neck. I almost became what he is, a monster.” Lucky sighed.
“Lucky listen, you did what you had to do but you did the right thing and didn’t give into your emotions. But what about Tac? Did he escape again?” Rolly asked.
“No, he’s awaiting punishment from mom and dad, what he did this time he won’t get out of.” Lucky just smiled.
“Then it’s all over, once they ship him to the dog pound he will never come back after us.” Rolly sat up slowly.
“We better wait and see.” Lucky jumped off the bed and left the room with Cadpig and Two-Tone following. Lucky walked into the barn where he saw Tac still restrained, a female pup talking to him. Lucky already knew it was Rose.
“Tac, I should have been here for you more.” Rose looked at her brother, a look of sadness in her eyes. Tac just scowled at her then noticed Lucky.
“Leave us Rose.” Was all Tac could say, Rose got up and left not before looking at Lucky then leaving out the barn door, the air stilled as the two pups stared at each other. “So you came to brag didn’t you?” Tac muttered with an emotionless tone.
“No, I didn’t. I almost killed you.” Was all Lucky could say
“You didn’t have the guts to do it Lucky. A mistake I assure you because once I’m free I won’t be as merciful as you were.” Tac sneered at Lucky.
“Don’t even consider freedom Tac. Mom and Dad won’t let you off with a slap on the paw this time since they know it was you who made Cadpig act like a mad dog and tried to get her euthanized.” Lucky answered back. Tac gave Lucky a silent glare as the tension grew between them. Rose walked back inside seeing her younger brother and Lucky in a tense stare down, immediately she got between them.
“Rose leave us!” Tac growled at his sister.
“Tac, you need to let this anger go.” Rose replied
“Rose I told you to leave us!” Tac snapped at her.
“No, you held this anger in too long. You have to understand hurting the Dearlys won’t bring mom back.” Rose pleaded to her brother, Lucky turned and glared at Tac. He was showing rage again, the same rage, which almost led him to nearly killing his stepbrother.
“What is this all about?” Lucky demanded.
“Lucky for his sake and mine just let us be.” Rose turned to Lucky, tears welling up in her eyes. Lucky turned and walked off, Tac calmed and looked at Rose.
“I don’t care what you have to tell me, what I do is what I want to do Rose. Nothing can ever change that..” Tac quietly said before going silent.
“I wish you never ended up this way.” Rose walked away from her brother, tears streaming down her face showing how much her spirit was hurt.
“Rose?” Lucky walked over to her. “I know this is a bad time and all but what was this all about? That comment about your mother?” He asked her.
“Lucky, I.. I don’t know if I could tell you, Tac might get mad at me.” Rose sighed
“He can’t hurt you, after all you are his biological sister and he wouldn’t lay a paw on you.” Lucky tried to calm Rose down.
“Lucky you don’t get it!” Rose snapped, she sat down and sighed again. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t…” She tried to explain before a paw rested on her shoulder, Rose looked up and saw Cadpig standing there, the small pup smiled at Rose.
“It’s okay if you are stressed out, you can tell me and Lucky what this is all about okay?” Cadpig asked in her cheerful voice.
“Along time ago Tac, me, and our siblings lived with our family in a place far from here.” Rose began. “We were raised by our mother. Our former pets lived in a large place and we were all happy, even Tac.” She stopped to wipe a tear away.
“Since when has Tac ever been happy?” Lucky asked sarcastically
“Now Lucky that wasn’t called for.” Cadpig shot a small glare at Lucky then turned to Rose. “Continue on.”
“Anyhow, one night two men broke into our home and dognapped us. One by one each of my litter mates were stuffed into a sack, I didn’t see Tac anywhere till I heard a loud yelp, Tac told us it was our mother..” Rose started to tear up again. “They killed our mother and Tac saw them do it, after that moment he never was the same again.” Rose couldn’t continue as she started bawling. Cadpig let Rose cry on her shoulder.
“But why me? What does my death have to do with his mother?” Lucky asked
“I think it’s self explanatory Lucky, You happen to be all that Tic-Tac used to be: a happy go lucky pup. Well a small and super smart happy go lucky pup.” Cadpig explained
“Still, that doesn’t give him the right to try to kill me or any of you guys for that matter.” Lucky decided to go into the farmhouse to see how Rolly was doing, he entered through the doggy door and walked into the living room, he turned towards the stairs and headed up them, he walked into the master bedroom and entered.
“Hey Lucky!” Rolly called over from the bed, he was busy eating some kibble from a bowl placed beside him, he was still a bit in pain but he was healing.
“Looks like your doing better.” Lucky sat at the frame of the door.
“Yup. But do I have to wear this cone?” Rolly pouted pawing at the medical cone around his neck.
“Now you know how I felt that time I got stitches after jumping off the tree into Hiccup Hole headfirst.” Lucky answered.
“If I recall right Mooch dared you.” Two-Tone walked in behind Lucky and sat beside him.
“That’s true, that mutt did dare me.” Lucky turned to Two-Tone and nudged her.
“I saw you with Rose outside, what was up with that?” Two-Tone asked.
“We were talking about that screwball of a brother of her’s. She’s taking it hard that he’s going to be shipped off to the pound.” Lucky answered.
“Serves that runt right for what he did to Cadpig, Rolly, and me.” Two-Tone let out a growl.
“And Spot too.” Rolly added in
“Yeah, Cornelia chewed me out over that when I went to see how she was doing, Mom and Dad had a long talk with her. I hope she understands that Tac set me up as well as everybody else.” Lucky sighed.
“Especially since now he’s facing the music.” Two-Tone rubbed her muzzle against Lucky’s neck.
“Still I don’t trust that spotted worm even now.” Lucky looked at Two-Tone then at Cadpig and Rolly, a sigh escaped his muzzle. “Cadpig, Two-Tone, round up the others and tell them to come in here, we need a family meeting.” Lucky said straight and to the point, the two girls rushed off. Soon the guest room was packed with pups, Raiden and Sonya sat on the rug alongside Patch, Wizzer, Belchic, and Tippy. On the bed was Slayer, Lita, Star, Drake, Razor, and Crystal alongside Cadpig, Noggin, and Rolly. Two-Tone and Lucky along with Penny, Jewel, Fidget and Dipstick were seated at the foot of the bed. “Okay everybody here?” Lucky asked
“No, Rip isn’t here.” Razor answered.
“He never misses anything important unless he has something to do.” Slayer shrugged before listening to a new CD from Deathlok, Lucky looked at the other pups and got the meeting to order.
“Everybody if I can have your attention, as you know Tic-Tac is in the barn and after all he’s done he’s finally getting what’s coming to him.” Lucky told the other pups
“Good, that scrawny jerk has this coming!” Shouted Buzzsaw whom was also on the bed along with Nuke, Daisy was snuggled beside Rolly.
“But I’m worried, Tac always found ways to escape punishment in the past, I’m worried he’s found another way to avoid this one, one he deserves for what he did to Cadpig.” Lucky turned to Cadpig. “To Rolly.” Lucky looked at Rolly. “And especially to Two-Tone.” Lucky looked at Two-Tone who put her paw on his. “And to Spot too, because of Tac she is forbidden to ever see us or play with us again.” Lucky growled, to the other pups this was pretty shocking.
“I didn’t think Cornelia would put her talon down.” Drake simply crossed his arms looking idle.
“As much as I want Tac off the farm I fear nothing will keep him from coming back and attacking each of us till we are dead.” Lucky told the pups
“Heh just let him try.” Drake broke his idle pose and now grew interested.
“Rip would kick his ass badly if Tac came after him or me.” Razor added in
“Speaking of Rip where is he at?” Crystal asked. The other pups were unsure where Rip was till he suddenly flew in through the window. The pups quickly moved to avoid the shards of glass from the shattered window.
“d**n Rip!” Razor looked at his brother. “You know how to make an entrance don’t cha?” He joked before Rip suddenly grabs him by the neck gripping tightly, caught off guard Razor struggled.
“What the hell?! Rip what are you doing?!” Crystal screamed.
“Simple, he’s doing exactly what I ordered him to do.” A familiar voice echoed, at the door was Tac, a grin across his muzzle.
“No way! Man how did he get out of those restraints??” Slayer got up.
“Oh it’s easy you simple minded fool.” Tac only responded, Lucky glared standing guard infront of Two-Tone.
“If it was so easy then tell us? And why would Rip obey you?” Drake only answered.
“If I told you Drake then you would try to attack me, but then who would save Star once Rip goes for her?” Tac asked, Drake let out a glare.
“Rip stop it!” Crystal tried to grab Rip’s arm, he turned and smacked her off, his eyes flashing red.
“Okay what the heck is going on??” Belchic asked Noggin.
“You see Lucky, I’m always a step ahead of you once more. I captured Rip sometime after Tripod took his little trip, I made him into my trump card should my plan to have Cadpig euthanized fail.” Tac explained and took notice of the glares aimed at him.
“Rip had nothing to do with what went down!” Lucky snarled.
“Oh but he has now, I planted a deadly computer virus inside his mechanical body. Now when I order him he will do as I tell him, Rip demonstrate and give Two-Tone a bit of a thrashing.” Tac ordered, Rip let go of Razor then turned to Two-Tone, gazing at the terrified Dalmatian he lunged at her and slammed her right into the wall hard, Two-Tone let out a loud yelp as blood gushed from her shoulder, one of the nails in the wall had slashed her shoulder wide open.
“TWO-TONE!!!” Lucky yelled, he glared and charged Rip only to be knocked aside into the ground.
“That did it.” Drake charged Rip and tried to pounce him but failed as Rip turned and punched Drake in mid air sending him onto the bed. Raiden and Slayer both attempted an attack alongside Buzzsaw, again the attacks failed as Rip knocked them all aside while holding Two-Tone against the wall.
“d**n, how the hell can we fight him??” Buzzsaw growled, Nuke rushed at Rip holding a lamp and tried to smash it on Rip, the attack seemed useless as Rip slammed Nuke aside then threw Two-Tone down on top of the bed infront of a terrified Rolly, Daisy also terrified kept close to Rolly.
“Rip! d**n it Rip fight it!” Razor grabbed onto Rip’s face trying to pull him away from Two-Tone. Rip simply grabbed Razor and threw him off.
“Sorry Razor, he can’t hear you.” Tac walked over to Lucky and pulled him up.
“D..d**n you!” Lucky winced.
“Tac how can you be so selfless and cruel?!” Cadpig shouted.
“Selfless and cruel? Oh no dear little sister. How could you use such crude words to descri..” Tac couldn’t finish as Crystal punched him right in the muzzle
“YOU SON OF A…! LET RIP GO NOW!!!” Screamed Crystal. Rip turned and yanked Crystal by her tail and slammed her into the dresser.
“I got an idea, Cadpig, Belchic follow me!” Noggin slipped out of the guest room with Cadpig and Belchic
“Noggin! Rip will kill them!” Belchic grew worried about his friends.
“Relax, Tac doesn’t know it but I can outsmart him any given day of the week.” Noggin booted up Roger’s computer and started typing fast.
“What are you doing?? This is no time to surf the web!” Belchic shouted
“Tac planted a computer virus on Rip to control him, if I can make a virus blocker I can free Rip.” Noggin kept typing
“You don’t even know what kind of virus this is!” Belchic shouted.
“Actually I do, it’s a pretty ingenious one. From what I know it was made your neighbor P.H DeVil himself, it makes any machine subject to take orders from it’s master, I suspect the only copy of that virus was stolen by Tac for this sole purpose as a precaution to kill Lucky.” Noggin kept writing
“How long will this take?” Belchic asked.
“A few minutes give or take.” Noggin responded.
“Better hurry, none of the others can hold off against a cyborg dog.” Cadpig was worried, in the guestroom Drake charged Rip and tackled him down; he winced and clutched his shoulder.
“d**n, forgot about his metal hide.” Drake jumped as Rip swung his blade arm at Drake.
“Lucky I could order Rip to kill you right now, but I rather see your family and friends killed off one by one.” Tac held Lucky’s collar forcing him to watch Rip attack Drake with no mercy.
“No, stop this!” Lucky struggled.
“And ruin my fun? Not a chance!” Tac grinned in Lucky’s face.
“You d**n psychopath!” Lucky suddenly threw a kick which connected in Tac’s stomach, the smaller pup fell back gasping for air, Rip turned and saw Lucky attacking Tac, he charged and swiped at Lucky with his blade arm, Lucky moved as the blade missed his chest, his collar however was slashed off. “Aw man my favorite collar..” Lucky glared at Rip.
“Too bad it wasn’t your throat, oh well second time is the charm after all.” Tac turned at Rip “make them all suffer.” He calmly ordered, Rip turned and started after Crystal.
“Rip please! Don’t listen to that maniac!” Crystal pleaded, but her words fell on deaf ears as Rip grabbed her by the neck. Crystal screamed as Rip started to choke her. Razor charged and grabbed Rip and forced him down, the two Dalmatians fell to the floor with Razor holding Rip in a bear hug,
“Rip! Tac did something to you! Ya got to fight it!” Razor yelled
“Talk all you wish Razor, your brother belongs to me now!” Tac beamed knowing his plan was full proof, Noggin suddenly charged in holding a disk in one paw and a laptop under his arm, Tac turned toward Noggin glaring.
“Sorry Tac but like you said, always be a step ahead but in this case we can make an exception.” Noggin turned the laptop on. Opening the disk drive he inserts the disk into it.
“I’m smarter than you are Noggin! You don’t have the brain power to beat me in a duel of wits!” Sneered Tac. Lucky saw his opening and decked Tac right in the muzzle.
“Funny, a genius like yourself should have anticipated that!” Lucky growled, he grabbed the maniac pup by the throat and started to choke him. Rip saw what Lucky was doing and growled, his cannon aimed at Lucky, he fires a blast at him. “Crap!” Lucky threw Tac aside as the blast hit the floor infront of him.
“Guys we need to restrain Rip if I’m to download this anti-virus program into Rip’s body.” Noggin shouted, Tac got up and charged Noggin, intending to smash the laptop Noggin held. He wouldn’t let Noggin ruin his plans, not now…. Not ever. Lucky saw Tac closing in on Noggin and tackled Tac into the floor. The mad runt growled and struggled to throw Lucky off.
“Lucky! Watch out!” Two-Tone yelled still whimpering from the pain in her shoulder, Rip aimed his cannon at Lucky trying to get a clear shot when his eyes suddenly flashed to normal.
“Ugh….what happened??” Rip shook his head. He suddenly remembered what had happened to him. “Where’s that lousy emo runt at??” He growled then saw Tac and Lucky fighting. “Luck let me have a piece of him! I’ll make him pay for trying to mess with my …..AGH!!” Rip clutched his head in pain as the virus started to attack him again, Noggin taking the advantage jumped on Rip and searched the back of his head. “Noggin! Get off before it takes control of me again!” Rip yelled
“Relax I got a counter for it! Now where’s that opening at?” Noggin searched.
“Whoa hold the phone! You are not touching me there!” Rip shouted
“Not that opening Rip, I meant a port to plug you into my laptop! How do you expect me to get my vaccine into you?” Noggin felt around till he found it. “Aha!” Noggin plugged in a usb cable into the back of Rip’s head and began the download, Rip screamed in pain as electricity surged around his body, his eyes flashing red for a second before he fell on the floor.
“Noggin, what did you do to Rip??” Lita asked Noggin
“I’d say he fried his circuits.” Drake poked Rip
“Ow.” Was all Rip replied with. “d**n, what the hell did you use for a vaccine? It’s going to take me a few minutes to reboot.” He pouted
“Sorry Rip, didn’t have time to test it besides you should be pissed at P.H DeVil, he made that virus which Tac stole.” Noggin explained only for Tac to tackle him hard, Noggin gazed at Tac seeing the foam dripping from his muzzle, a mad look on his face. Noggin gulped realizing what was happening.
“He’s acting like how Cadpig was!” Jewel yelled
“Aw no way! Tac has rabies!” Raiden stood infront of Sonya to protect her, Slayer doing the same for Lita, Lucky got infront of Two-Tone whom was still injured.
“Noggin you’re the brains here, what’s going on??” Belchic asked
“He’s finally lost all sense of logic, seeing his perfect plan foiled has snapped his mind.” Noggin avoided a bite attempt from Tac and grabbed his jaws struggling to hold him back. “He’s gone mad!” He yelled
“Mad??? Mad?! Oh no Noggin Mad isn’t the word for it!” Tac hissed as he clawed Noggin’s arm hard. Noggin yelped out in pain as blood ran out of his arm, Tac laughed and clawed Noggin harder drawing more blood.
“Ah!” Noggin yelled as Tac swiped his face with his claws, Noggin raised his arms to defend against Tac’s claws. Lucky tackled Tac off only to be thrown against the wall.
“Your next Lucky!” Tac turned toward Noggin and grabbed him “I’ll kill you first then Lucky, then each and every last Dalmatian on this hell hole of a farm!!!!” He yelled loudly.
“Tic-Tac stop this insanity now!” A voice boomed from the door, all the pups turned to see Perdita and Pongo, the two adults growling loudly.
“Oh d**n somebody is in big trouble now.” Rip watched on, still motionless due to his systems being rebooted.
“Tic-Tac Dearly what’s the meaning of all..” Perdita couldn’t finished as Tac had swiped her right in the muzzle, Perdita yelped and clutched her muzzle, Pongo growled loudly and glared.
“It’s because of you two we all have to suffer in this hell hole!!!” Tac yelled at them both as he pointed a claw at the two Dalmatians, the foam covering his muzzle, his rage clearly dominating, he stalked forward glaring. “You forced me and my siblings to stay here against our will! You and those idiots you call pets! I am sick of them! I am sick of this farm! I am sick of everybody!!!!” Tac yelled.
“Lucky was right about you all along.” Pongo snarled. Tac in his demented state started laughing. “What’s so funny??” Pongo growled.
“Lucky represents all I loathe about this place, I’m glad you came so I can kill him infront of you all, and then I’ll kill each and every one of you in a slow and painful way!” Tac laughed harder, Rip stood up slowly.
“You can go to hell you little bastard!” Rip yelled
“No, that’s where all of you are going Rip.” Tac replied wiping some foam off his muzzle.
“Tac how could you even live with yourself..” Cadpig growled, Noggin stood close to her.
“Easy, he’s lost all sense of everything. He doesn’t care anymore… not that he ever did.” Noggin glared from behind his shades.
“Tac, if you weren’t so happy here then why didn’t you just speak up? Are you that jealous of each of us?” Cadpig asked.
“No! I will set each and every last Dalmatian here free! Free from being slaves to those so called pets! They had no right to kidnap them and keep them here against their will! I’ll kill the humans and then the very lot of you!” Tac snarled before Lucky pounced on him from behind and forced him down. Tac struggled clawing and biting violently at Lucky trying to get him off, Lucky struggled holding onto Tac’s head.
“No! I won’t let you harm my family or friends!! Never again!!!” Lucky yelled.
“Let me go!!!” Tac bit down on Lucky’s paw forcing him to let go, Lucky stared at the blood flowing from his open wound, Rip whom at this time stood up charged Tac and slashed him with his bladed arm, Tac yelped and fell to the floor bleeding from the large wound opened on his body, shockingly Tac stood up uncaring for the pain in his body, he had gone beyond the point of feeling pain, he wanted to see everybody dead.
“That was for sticking that virus on me you sick bastard!” Yelled Rip as he pointed his cannon at Tac.
“Stop!” A female voice shouted, it was Rose whom was standing at the door. “Rip don’t kill him! He needs help!” She pleaded.
“What he needs is an undertaker when I get done with him, the little bastard made me harm my friends and family!” Rip growled
“Rip you know I hate Tac more than you, allow me to take him down.” Lucky gazed at Tac wincing a bit
“Lucky don’t!” Rose pleaded but her pleas were falling on deaf ears, Lucky wanted to kill Tac and he had the reasons to do it, Tac tried to get Cadpig euthanized by giving her rabies, letting Cadpig violently maul Rolly and leaving him injured, poisoning Spot with a deadly chemical and having her forced to stay away from her friends, and the worst of all, kidnapping and harming Two-Tone, the pup Lucky came to love with his heart and soul, Rip saw this in Lucky’s eyes and stood aside powering down his cannon.
“Rose your brother drove me to the limit, forgive me but this is one time not even the pound can help him.” Lucky grabbed Tac by his throat.
“Do it……… become a murderer and earn the hate from my siblings.” Tac sneered.
“How do you know they don’t hate you?” Lucky asked Tac holding him by the neck.
“Lucky please! Tac doesn’t deserve to die!” Rose pleaded taking one of Lucky’s paws, Lucky stared at Rose for a second and sighed letting Tac go.
“Rose why do you want him to live? You want him to murder everybody on the farm?” Lucky asked Rose angrily growling at her.
“Lucky he misses mom and our family too much to let go.” Rose looked at Lucky hoping her words got through to them.
“Thank you Rose……. For giving me this chance!” Tac suddenly charged and tackled Lucky down, his paws gripped around Lucky’s throat he started to choke him.
“Tac no!” Rose screamed.
“Tac let him go!” Two-Tone growled before clutching her shoulder. Tac ignored everybody around him as he kept choking Lucky, he started to cackle insanely feeling the life leaving Lucky’s body. Noggin suddenly and without warning slammed his Laptop into Tac’s skull, the force of the blow knocked the smaller pup off Lucky and onto the floor, a large pool of blood forms around Tac’s head, Lucky stood up coughing and gasping for air.
“Thanks Noggin….. I owe you one.” Lucky gasped as he went back to Two-Tone, Rose rushed to her little brother’s side and held his head.
“I’ll hold you to it, you need to get a vet.” Noggin answered Lucky.
“At last it’s all over.” Lucky winced a bit but to his shock it wasn’t, Tac was up again growling, blood gushing from his head where Noggin hit him with his laptop.
“No, it will never end…….. I will kill all 100 of you! Even if I must die to do it…….” Tac snarled.
“Tac you are insane! Nobody could take a blow like that and live!” Noggin gasped.
“Glad you finally noticed……….. “ Tac staggered. “I’ll destroy all you spotted pieces of ………..of……..” Tac couldn’t finish as he finally collapsed unconscious from blood loss.
“Now it’s over.” Lucky winced.
The pups entered the guest room where Rolly was at, Lucky jumped onto the bed first and sat down. “Hey, you doing any better?” he asked his plump brother.
“Still painful but I should be better soon.” Rolly answered before he saw Cadpig, he freaked out just seeing her. “KEEP HER AWAY!!!” He yelled.
“Easy Rolly, she’s fine now.” Two-Tone spoke up trying to calm the now freaked out puppy.
“Yeah, Tac messed with her head and made her rabid. But she’s fine now and that’s all that matters.. Except we might be hearing a lot from Spot’s mom I’m afraid, with her very sick it’s most likely we won’t be able to even hang out with her.” Lucky sighed, on his mind was something else, his near killing of Tac.
“How did you guys help Cadpig? She could have torn you guys apart.” Rolly asked
“Lucky did most of the work.” Answered Cadpig.
“Surprised Two-Tone didn’t help.” Rolly laid back down wincing a little
“I couldn’t since that scrawny runt of a psycho drugged me and held me prisoner and made me watch Cadpig maul you and everything else till Dipstick released me.” Two-Tone explained to Rolly
“I might have done something I could have never dreamed I would..” Lucky looked down.
“What did ya do Luck?” Rolly asked noticing his best friend turning away.
“He almost killed Tac with his bare paws.” Two-Tone answered for Lucky whom simply nodded to confirm it, Rolly for his most part was shocked at what he had heard.
“You mean Lucky almost killed him??” Rolly asked
“Yeah.. It was like I wanted him to die for all the things he made us suffer through, all the lies he used to sway mom and dad with. I wanted him to suffer for trying to kill our sister using rabies as an excuse, all my emotions exploded and I… I nearly snapped his neck. I almost became what he is, a monster.” Lucky sighed.
“Lucky listen, you did what you had to do but you did the right thing and didn’t give into your emotions. But what about Tac? Did he escape again?” Rolly asked.
“No, he’s awaiting punishment from mom and dad, what he did this time he won’t get out of.” Lucky just smiled.
“Then it’s all over, once they ship him to the dog pound he will never come back after us.” Rolly sat up slowly.
“We better wait and see.” Lucky jumped off the bed and left the room with Cadpig and Two-Tone following. Lucky walked into the barn where he saw Tac still restrained, a female pup talking to him. Lucky already knew it was Rose.
“Tac, I should have been here for you more.” Rose looked at her brother, a look of sadness in her eyes. Tac just scowled at her then noticed Lucky.
“Leave us Rose.” Was all Tac could say, Rose got up and left not before looking at Lucky then leaving out the barn door, the air stilled as the two pups stared at each other. “So you came to brag didn’t you?” Tac muttered with an emotionless tone.
“No, I didn’t. I almost killed you.” Was all Lucky could say
“You didn’t have the guts to do it Lucky. A mistake I assure you because once I’m free I won’t be as merciful as you were.” Tac sneered at Lucky.
“Don’t even consider freedom Tac. Mom and Dad won’t let you off with a slap on the paw this time since they know it was you who made Cadpig act like a mad dog and tried to get her euthanized.” Lucky answered back. Tac gave Lucky a silent glare as the tension grew between them. Rose walked back inside seeing her younger brother and Lucky in a tense stare down, immediately she got between them.
“Rose leave us!” Tac growled at his sister.
“Tac, you need to let this anger go.” Rose replied
“Rose I told you to leave us!” Tac snapped at her.
“No, you held this anger in too long. You have to understand hurting the Dearlys won’t bring mom back.” Rose pleaded to her brother, Lucky turned and glared at Tac. He was showing rage again, the same rage, which almost led him to nearly killing his stepbrother.
“What is this all about?” Lucky demanded.
“Lucky for his sake and mine just let us be.” Rose turned to Lucky, tears welling up in her eyes. Lucky turned and walked off, Tac calmed and looked at Rose.
“I don’t care what you have to tell me, what I do is what I want to do Rose. Nothing can ever change that..” Tac quietly said before going silent.
“I wish you never ended up this way.” Rose walked away from her brother, tears streaming down her face showing how much her spirit was hurt.
“Rose?” Lucky walked over to her. “I know this is a bad time and all but what was this all about? That comment about your mother?” He asked her.
“Lucky, I.. I don’t know if I could tell you, Tac might get mad at me.” Rose sighed
“He can’t hurt you, after all you are his biological sister and he wouldn’t lay a paw on you.” Lucky tried to calm Rose down.
“Lucky you don’t get it!” Rose snapped, she sat down and sighed again. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t…” She tried to explain before a paw rested on her shoulder, Rose looked up and saw Cadpig standing there, the small pup smiled at Rose.
“It’s okay if you are stressed out, you can tell me and Lucky what this is all about okay?” Cadpig asked in her cheerful voice.
“Along time ago Tac, me, and our siblings lived with our family in a place far from here.” Rose began. “We were raised by our mother. Our former pets lived in a large place and we were all happy, even Tac.” She stopped to wipe a tear away.
“Since when has Tac ever been happy?” Lucky asked sarcastically
“Now Lucky that wasn’t called for.” Cadpig shot a small glare at Lucky then turned to Rose. “Continue on.”
“Anyhow, one night two men broke into our home and dognapped us. One by one each of my litter mates were stuffed into a sack, I didn’t see Tac anywhere till I heard a loud yelp, Tac told us it was our mother..” Rose started to tear up again. “They killed our mother and Tac saw them do it, after that moment he never was the same again.” Rose couldn’t continue as she started bawling. Cadpig let Rose cry on her shoulder.
“But why me? What does my death have to do with his mother?” Lucky asked
“I think it’s self explanatory Lucky, You happen to be all that Tic-Tac used to be: a happy go lucky pup. Well a small and super smart happy go lucky pup.” Cadpig explained
“Still, that doesn’t give him the right to try to kill me or any of you guys for that matter.” Lucky decided to go into the farmhouse to see how Rolly was doing, he entered through the doggy door and walked into the living room, he turned towards the stairs and headed up them, he walked into the master bedroom and entered.
“Hey Lucky!” Rolly called over from the bed, he was busy eating some kibble from a bowl placed beside him, he was still a bit in pain but he was healing.
“Looks like your doing better.” Lucky sat at the frame of the door.
“Yup. But do I have to wear this cone?” Rolly pouted pawing at the medical cone around his neck.
“Now you know how I felt that time I got stitches after jumping off the tree into Hiccup Hole headfirst.” Lucky answered.
“If I recall right Mooch dared you.” Two-Tone walked in behind Lucky and sat beside him.
“That’s true, that mutt did dare me.” Lucky turned to Two-Tone and nudged her.
“I saw you with Rose outside, what was up with that?” Two-Tone asked.
“We were talking about that screwball of a brother of her’s. She’s taking it hard that he’s going to be shipped off to the pound.” Lucky answered.
“Serves that runt right for what he did to Cadpig, Rolly, and me.” Two-Tone let out a growl.
“And Spot too.” Rolly added in
“Yeah, Cornelia chewed me out over that when I went to see how she was doing, Mom and Dad had a long talk with her. I hope she understands that Tac set me up as well as everybody else.” Lucky sighed.
“Especially since now he’s facing the music.” Two-Tone rubbed her muzzle against Lucky’s neck.
“Still I don’t trust that spotted worm even now.” Lucky looked at Two-Tone then at Cadpig and Rolly, a sigh escaped his muzzle. “Cadpig, Two-Tone, round up the others and tell them to come in here, we need a family meeting.” Lucky said straight and to the point, the two girls rushed off. Soon the guest room was packed with pups, Raiden and Sonya sat on the rug alongside Patch, Wizzer, Belchic, and Tippy. On the bed was Slayer, Lita, Star, Drake, Razor, and Crystal alongside Cadpig, Noggin, and Rolly. Two-Tone and Lucky along with Penny, Jewel, Fidget and Dipstick were seated at the foot of the bed. “Okay everybody here?” Lucky asked
“No, Rip isn’t here.” Razor answered.
“He never misses anything important unless he has something to do.” Slayer shrugged before listening to a new CD from Deathlok, Lucky looked at the other pups and got the meeting to order.
“Everybody if I can have your attention, as you know Tic-Tac is in the barn and after all he’s done he’s finally getting what’s coming to him.” Lucky told the other pups
“Good, that scrawny jerk has this coming!” Shouted Buzzsaw whom was also on the bed along with Nuke, Daisy was snuggled beside Rolly.
“But I’m worried, Tac always found ways to escape punishment in the past, I’m worried he’s found another way to avoid this one, one he deserves for what he did to Cadpig.” Lucky turned to Cadpig. “To Rolly.” Lucky looked at Rolly. “And especially to Two-Tone.” Lucky looked at Two-Tone who put her paw on his. “And to Spot too, because of Tac she is forbidden to ever see us or play with us again.” Lucky growled, to the other pups this was pretty shocking.
“I didn’t think Cornelia would put her talon down.” Drake simply crossed his arms looking idle.
“As much as I want Tac off the farm I fear nothing will keep him from coming back and attacking each of us till we are dead.” Lucky told the pups
“Heh just let him try.” Drake broke his idle pose and now grew interested.
“Rip would kick his ass badly if Tac came after him or me.” Razor added in
“Speaking of Rip where is he at?” Crystal asked. The other pups were unsure where Rip was till he suddenly flew in through the window. The pups quickly moved to avoid the shards of glass from the shattered window.
“d**n Rip!” Razor looked at his brother. “You know how to make an entrance don’t cha?” He joked before Rip suddenly grabs him by the neck gripping tightly, caught off guard Razor struggled.
“What the hell?! Rip what are you doing?!” Crystal screamed.
“Simple, he’s doing exactly what I ordered him to do.” A familiar voice echoed, at the door was Tac, a grin across his muzzle.
“No way! Man how did he get out of those restraints??” Slayer got up.
“Oh it’s easy you simple minded fool.” Tac only responded, Lucky glared standing guard infront of Two-Tone.
“If it was so easy then tell us? And why would Rip obey you?” Drake only answered.
“If I told you Drake then you would try to attack me, but then who would save Star once Rip goes for her?” Tac asked, Drake let out a glare.
“Rip stop it!” Crystal tried to grab Rip’s arm, he turned and smacked her off, his eyes flashing red.
“Okay what the heck is going on??” Belchic asked Noggin.
“You see Lucky, I’m always a step ahead of you once more. I captured Rip sometime after Tripod took his little trip, I made him into my trump card should my plan to have Cadpig euthanized fail.” Tac explained and took notice of the glares aimed at him.
“Rip had nothing to do with what went down!” Lucky snarled.
“Oh but he has now, I planted a deadly computer virus inside his mechanical body. Now when I order him he will do as I tell him, Rip demonstrate and give Two-Tone a bit of a thrashing.” Tac ordered, Rip let go of Razor then turned to Two-Tone, gazing at the terrified Dalmatian he lunged at her and slammed her right into the wall hard, Two-Tone let out a loud yelp as blood gushed from her shoulder, one of the nails in the wall had slashed her shoulder wide open.
“TWO-TONE!!!” Lucky yelled, he glared and charged Rip only to be knocked aside into the ground.
“That did it.” Drake charged Rip and tried to pounce him but failed as Rip turned and punched Drake in mid air sending him onto the bed. Raiden and Slayer both attempted an attack alongside Buzzsaw, again the attacks failed as Rip knocked them all aside while holding Two-Tone against the wall.
“d**n, how the hell can we fight him??” Buzzsaw growled, Nuke rushed at Rip holding a lamp and tried to smash it on Rip, the attack seemed useless as Rip slammed Nuke aside then threw Two-Tone down on top of the bed infront of a terrified Rolly, Daisy also terrified kept close to Rolly.
“Rip! d**n it Rip fight it!” Razor grabbed onto Rip’s face trying to pull him away from Two-Tone. Rip simply grabbed Razor and threw him off.
“Sorry Razor, he can’t hear you.” Tac walked over to Lucky and pulled him up.
“D..d**n you!” Lucky winced.
“Tac how can you be so selfless and cruel?!” Cadpig shouted.
“Selfless and cruel? Oh no dear little sister. How could you use such crude words to descri..” Tac couldn’t finish as Crystal punched him right in the muzzle
“YOU SON OF A…! LET RIP GO NOW!!!” Screamed Crystal. Rip turned and yanked Crystal by her tail and slammed her into the dresser.
“I got an idea, Cadpig, Belchic follow me!” Noggin slipped out of the guest room with Cadpig and Belchic
“Noggin! Rip will kill them!” Belchic grew worried about his friends.
“Relax, Tac doesn’t know it but I can outsmart him any given day of the week.” Noggin booted up Roger’s computer and started typing fast.
“What are you doing?? This is no time to surf the web!” Belchic shouted
“Tac planted a computer virus on Rip to control him, if I can make a virus blocker I can free Rip.” Noggin kept typing
“You don’t even know what kind of virus this is!” Belchic shouted.
“Actually I do, it’s a pretty ingenious one. From what I know it was made your neighbor P.H DeVil himself, it makes any machine subject to take orders from it’s master, I suspect the only copy of that virus was stolen by Tac for this sole purpose as a precaution to kill Lucky.” Noggin kept writing
“How long will this take?” Belchic asked.
“A few minutes give or take.” Noggin responded.
“Better hurry, none of the others can hold off against a cyborg dog.” Cadpig was worried, in the guestroom Drake charged Rip and tackled him down; he winced and clutched his shoulder.
“d**n, forgot about his metal hide.” Drake jumped as Rip swung his blade arm at Drake.
“Lucky I could order Rip to kill you right now, but I rather see your family and friends killed off one by one.” Tac held Lucky’s collar forcing him to watch Rip attack Drake with no mercy.
“No, stop this!” Lucky struggled.
“And ruin my fun? Not a chance!” Tac grinned in Lucky’s face.
“You d**n psychopath!” Lucky suddenly threw a kick which connected in Tac’s stomach, the smaller pup fell back gasping for air, Rip turned and saw Lucky attacking Tac, he charged and swiped at Lucky with his blade arm, Lucky moved as the blade missed his chest, his collar however was slashed off. “Aw man my favorite collar..” Lucky glared at Rip.
“Too bad it wasn’t your throat, oh well second time is the charm after all.” Tac turned at Rip “make them all suffer.” He calmly ordered, Rip turned and started after Crystal.
“Rip please! Don’t listen to that maniac!” Crystal pleaded, but her words fell on deaf ears as Rip grabbed her by the neck. Crystal screamed as Rip started to choke her. Razor charged and grabbed Rip and forced him down, the two Dalmatians fell to the floor with Razor holding Rip in a bear hug,
“Rip! Tac did something to you! Ya got to fight it!” Razor yelled
“Talk all you wish Razor, your brother belongs to me now!” Tac beamed knowing his plan was full proof, Noggin suddenly charged in holding a disk in one paw and a laptop under his arm, Tac turned toward Noggin glaring.
“Sorry Tac but like you said, always be a step ahead but in this case we can make an exception.” Noggin turned the laptop on. Opening the disk drive he inserts the disk into it.
“I’m smarter than you are Noggin! You don’t have the brain power to beat me in a duel of wits!” Sneered Tac. Lucky saw his opening and decked Tac right in the muzzle.
“Funny, a genius like yourself should have anticipated that!” Lucky growled, he grabbed the maniac pup by the throat and started to choke him. Rip saw what Lucky was doing and growled, his cannon aimed at Lucky, he fires a blast at him. “Crap!” Lucky threw Tac aside as the blast hit the floor infront of him.
“Guys we need to restrain Rip if I’m to download this anti-virus program into Rip’s body.” Noggin shouted, Tac got up and charged Noggin, intending to smash the laptop Noggin held. He wouldn’t let Noggin ruin his plans, not now…. Not ever. Lucky saw Tac closing in on Noggin and tackled Tac into the floor. The mad runt growled and struggled to throw Lucky off.
“Lucky! Watch out!” Two-Tone yelled still whimpering from the pain in her shoulder, Rip aimed his cannon at Lucky trying to get a clear shot when his eyes suddenly flashed to normal.
“Ugh….what happened??” Rip shook his head. He suddenly remembered what had happened to him. “Where’s that lousy emo runt at??” He growled then saw Tac and Lucky fighting. “Luck let me have a piece of him! I’ll make him pay for trying to mess with my …..AGH!!” Rip clutched his head in pain as the virus started to attack him again, Noggin taking the advantage jumped on Rip and searched the back of his head. “Noggin! Get off before it takes control of me again!” Rip yelled
“Relax I got a counter for it! Now where’s that opening at?” Noggin searched.
“Whoa hold the phone! You are not touching me there!” Rip shouted
“Not that opening Rip, I meant a port to plug you into my laptop! How do you expect me to get my vaccine into you?” Noggin felt around till he found it. “Aha!” Noggin plugged in a usb cable into the back of Rip’s head and began the download, Rip screamed in pain as electricity surged around his body, his eyes flashing red for a second before he fell on the floor.
“Noggin, what did you do to Rip??” Lita asked Noggin
“I’d say he fried his circuits.” Drake poked Rip
“Ow.” Was all Rip replied with. “d**n, what the hell did you use for a vaccine? It’s going to take me a few minutes to reboot.” He pouted
“Sorry Rip, didn’t have time to test it besides you should be pissed at P.H DeVil, he made that virus which Tac stole.” Noggin explained only for Tac to tackle him hard, Noggin gazed at Tac seeing the foam dripping from his muzzle, a mad look on his face. Noggin gulped realizing what was happening.
“He’s acting like how Cadpig was!” Jewel yelled
“Aw no way! Tac has rabies!” Raiden stood infront of Sonya to protect her, Slayer doing the same for Lita, Lucky got infront of Two-Tone whom was still injured.
“Noggin you’re the brains here, what’s going on??” Belchic asked
“He’s finally lost all sense of logic, seeing his perfect plan foiled has snapped his mind.” Noggin avoided a bite attempt from Tac and grabbed his jaws struggling to hold him back. “He’s gone mad!” He yelled
“Mad??? Mad?! Oh no Noggin Mad isn’t the word for it!” Tac hissed as he clawed Noggin’s arm hard. Noggin yelped out in pain as blood ran out of his arm, Tac laughed and clawed Noggin harder drawing more blood.
“Ah!” Noggin yelled as Tac swiped his face with his claws, Noggin raised his arms to defend against Tac’s claws. Lucky tackled Tac off only to be thrown against the wall.
“Your next Lucky!” Tac turned toward Noggin and grabbed him “I’ll kill you first then Lucky, then each and every last Dalmatian on this hell hole of a farm!!!!” He yelled loudly.
“Tic-Tac stop this insanity now!” A voice boomed from the door, all the pups turned to see Perdita and Pongo, the two adults growling loudly.
“Oh d**n somebody is in big trouble now.” Rip watched on, still motionless due to his systems being rebooted.
“Tic-Tac Dearly what’s the meaning of all..” Perdita couldn’t finished as Tac had swiped her right in the muzzle, Perdita yelped and clutched her muzzle, Pongo growled loudly and glared.
“It’s because of you two we all have to suffer in this hell hole!!!” Tac yelled at them both as he pointed a claw at the two Dalmatians, the foam covering his muzzle, his rage clearly dominating, he stalked forward glaring. “You forced me and my siblings to stay here against our will! You and those idiots you call pets! I am sick of them! I am sick of this farm! I am sick of everybody!!!!” Tac yelled.
“Lucky was right about you all along.” Pongo snarled. Tac in his demented state started laughing. “What’s so funny??” Pongo growled.
“Lucky represents all I loathe about this place, I’m glad you came so I can kill him infront of you all, and then I’ll kill each and every one of you in a slow and painful way!” Tac laughed harder, Rip stood up slowly.
“You can go to hell you little bastard!” Rip yelled
“No, that’s where all of you are going Rip.” Tac replied wiping some foam off his muzzle.
“Tac how could you even live with yourself..” Cadpig growled, Noggin stood close to her.
“Easy, he’s lost all sense of everything. He doesn’t care anymore… not that he ever did.” Noggin glared from behind his shades.
“Tac, if you weren’t so happy here then why didn’t you just speak up? Are you that jealous of each of us?” Cadpig asked.
“No! I will set each and every last Dalmatian here free! Free from being slaves to those so called pets! They had no right to kidnap them and keep them here against their will! I’ll kill the humans and then the very lot of you!” Tac snarled before Lucky pounced on him from behind and forced him down. Tac struggled clawing and biting violently at Lucky trying to get him off, Lucky struggled holding onto Tac’s head.
“No! I won’t let you harm my family or friends!! Never again!!!” Lucky yelled.
“Let me go!!!” Tac bit down on Lucky’s paw forcing him to let go, Lucky stared at the blood flowing from his open wound, Rip whom at this time stood up charged Tac and slashed him with his bladed arm, Tac yelped and fell to the floor bleeding from the large wound opened on his body, shockingly Tac stood up uncaring for the pain in his body, he had gone beyond the point of feeling pain, he wanted to see everybody dead.
“That was for sticking that virus on me you sick bastard!” Yelled Rip as he pointed his cannon at Tac.
“Stop!” A female voice shouted, it was Rose whom was standing at the door. “Rip don’t kill him! He needs help!” She pleaded.
“What he needs is an undertaker when I get done with him, the little bastard made me harm my friends and family!” Rip growled
“Rip you know I hate Tac more than you, allow me to take him down.” Lucky gazed at Tac wincing a bit
“Lucky don’t!” Rose pleaded but her pleas were falling on deaf ears, Lucky wanted to kill Tac and he had the reasons to do it, Tac tried to get Cadpig euthanized by giving her rabies, letting Cadpig violently maul Rolly and leaving him injured, poisoning Spot with a deadly chemical and having her forced to stay away from her friends, and the worst of all, kidnapping and harming Two-Tone, the pup Lucky came to love with his heart and soul, Rip saw this in Lucky’s eyes and stood aside powering down his cannon.
“Rose your brother drove me to the limit, forgive me but this is one time not even the pound can help him.” Lucky grabbed Tac by his throat.
“Do it……… become a murderer and earn the hate from my siblings.” Tac sneered.
“How do you know they don’t hate you?” Lucky asked Tac holding him by the neck.
“Lucky please! Tac doesn’t deserve to die!” Rose pleaded taking one of Lucky’s paws, Lucky stared at Rose for a second and sighed letting Tac go.
“Rose why do you want him to live? You want him to murder everybody on the farm?” Lucky asked Rose angrily growling at her.
“Lucky he misses mom and our family too much to let go.” Rose looked at Lucky hoping her words got through to them.
“Thank you Rose……. For giving me this chance!” Tac suddenly charged and tackled Lucky down, his paws gripped around Lucky’s throat he started to choke him.
“Tac no!” Rose screamed.
“Tac let him go!” Two-Tone growled before clutching her shoulder. Tac ignored everybody around him as he kept choking Lucky, he started to cackle insanely feeling the life leaving Lucky’s body. Noggin suddenly and without warning slammed his Laptop into Tac’s skull, the force of the blow knocked the smaller pup off Lucky and onto the floor, a large pool of blood forms around Tac’s head, Lucky stood up coughing and gasping for air.
“Thanks Noggin….. I owe you one.” Lucky gasped as he went back to Two-Tone, Rose rushed to her little brother’s side and held his head.
“I’ll hold you to it, you need to get a vet.” Noggin answered Lucky.
“At last it’s all over.” Lucky winced a bit but to his shock it wasn’t, Tac was up again growling, blood gushing from his head where Noggin hit him with his laptop.
“No, it will never end…….. I will kill all 100 of you! Even if I must die to do it…….” Tac snarled.
“Tac you are insane! Nobody could take a blow like that and live!” Noggin gasped.
“Glad you finally noticed……….. “ Tac staggered. “I’ll destroy all you spotted pieces of ………..of……..” Tac couldn’t finish as he finally collapsed unconscious from blood loss.
“Now it’s over.” Lucky winced.
