Chapter 38: Charlie's Last Stand

Charlie started to groggily wake up, pain shot through his head like needles sticking into his head, once his vision returned he finds his hands handcuffed to a railing, he looked over to see a familiar boy beaten to a bloody pulp and handcuffed to another railing.

"Hunter?" He called out to which Hunter shot up.

"Charlie thank goodness your awake." He said with joy.

"You okay, you look like you been through hell."

"So have you, I saw them taken the pups down to the storage area." He explains.

"Yeah I know I saw them until I got wacked in the back of the head."

"What's worse my grand aunt is aboard."

"Your grand aunt, you mean Cruella?"

"Yes!" He answered suddenly the heavy iron door opened to reveal two armed soilders enter.

"Come on you two, the boss wants a word with you." He said as he uncuffed Charlie's handcuffs which gave him the opportunity to throw a punch right at the soilders face, the soldier quickly retracted back to give the other one time to pull out a shock baton and wacked him with it. After a few whacks and a couple of shock treatments Charlie went down in pain and was dragged along, followed behind him was Hunter who immediately winced back to not take the hits from the soldiers, "Come on asshole." The soldier said said as they dragged Charlie out of the room and into the hallway where the only sound was the echos of their footsteps. Soon they reached their destination where the sounds of whining pups could be heard suddenly the two soilders threw down Charlie with a thud as another man walked up and tilted Charlie's head to look up at a younger man with an evil smile, the red light lit up his face to represent how evil he was.

"Ah I see we finally meet face to face." The man said and laughed, "You know Charlie you put up one hell of a fight protecting these dogs." He said standing back up, "Treating them like family."

"W-who are you..."

"Who am I, Who Am I?!" The man asked in anger but soon smiled, "Why don't you recognize my looks, my posture, my voice?" He asked, to which Charlie just shook his head, "Of course you would forget all about it would you, that unfortunate attack by those terrorists, leaving me to die in Iraq."

"No... you can't be..."

"That's right... it's me bro, Kyle." He announced out stretching his arms, "Live and in living color."

"B-but you..."

"I died, of course you would think that, anybody would think, leaving me to die like that, but I survived with the only thing that I could feel, hatred and thanks to some new friends they helped me gain back my strength." He explained as he paced around Charlie, "Behind all of the strikes and drones you've seen and been through were all done by me pulling every little string  hoping for you to slip up, but as expected you would prevail succeed in stopping every attack that was thrown at you, you and your precious dalmatian family, that you treasure so much."

"They have nothing to do with this Kyle let them go." Charlie persuaded.

"Charlie, I would love nothing more than to let them go... however, my partner that I hired has a... sort of history with this Dalmatian family."

"That's right." A voice said as a woman appeared she looked like she was in her 70's wearing a black jump suit, her hair was split in half, black on one side and white on the other, she also was carrying a small flak of something that sprayed a green mist, "I want to personally thank you Mr. Osborne for capturing them." She said as Kyle smiled.

"Of course just remember that you get them after I finish off my brother."

"You bastard how could you!" Charlie yelled out before the two soilders grabbed him and held him down.

"Don't you call me a bastard, if it wasn't for you  we wouldn't be in this situation, you have the entire world on your shoulder and that could have been us, but now it's gonna be me and only me, and how should I proceed?" He asked grabbing Charlie by his cheeks, "I got an idea, how about..." he soon pulled out a knife and held it up to Charlies throat, "A slow, long, satisfying cut, right on the throat." He said before looking over to Hunter, "Miss. De Vil may I ask do you need your great grand nephew?"

"Eh just throw him over board he's not worth breathing the same air on this ship." She said smiling at the pups who backed up whimpering.

"I swear to god you lay one hand on those pups, you are gonna need facial reconstructive surgery!" Charlie warned as they grabbed Hunter and dragged him out of the room to which Cruella just laughed.

"Oh really that's alot of talk coming from one person." She teased as she looked over at the cages and opened one grabbing Dolly by her collar. "So you've taken care of them this whole time huh." She said inspecting her.

"Put me down you creep!" Dolly yelled out to which only Charlie could hear everyone else got a bark and growl.

"Put her down!" Charlie yelled before getting smacked with the shock baton again.

"Hey I told you, your not allow to touch them till after I finished off my brother." Kyle said.

"Oh hush now darling this is payback, how about we give a little test run for my machine." She laughed evily while her large machine activated.

Meanwhile

The soldier dragged Hunter up to the top deck and hoist him up over the edge.

"Wait wait wait please you don't have to kill me." Hunter begged.

"Sorry kid, boss doesn't need you anymore." He said as he hoist up Hunter and was about to throw him overboard, suddenly a pack of wild creatures jumped and pouched onto the soldier the soldier dropped Hunter to which he crawled away over to the railing watching the carnage follow, soon the soldier crawled away leaving the wild pack of animals in victorious.

"Wait a minute I recognize you, you're that fox." Hunter said as Fergus turned around with a smile.

"Well come on you too we got to find Dolly an them." Fergus said.

"Oh I hope you're not too late." Summer said.

"Big Fee, 50 Nuts see if you can find them." Fergus said as the two were about to climb into the ventilation system, but Hunter stopped them.

"Wait, I know where they are, I'll lead you to them." He said to which everyone looked at each other.

"Should we follow him?" Spike asked.

"It's probably our best chance." Fergus said as the rest nodded in agreement.

"Lead us." Summer said, Hunter only heard barking but understood what she

Meanwhile

Charlie looked on in horror as Cruella slowly walked over to the large machine every step she took made his heart beat faster and faster in panic rhythm.

"Don't try and squirm too much, it will only hurt worse." She laughed which Dolly quickly thrashed and bit her in the hand, "Arghhhh!" She yelled out in pain as Dolly kick flipped off of her and sprinted over to Charlie, "You spotted rat get her!" She demanded, as two other soldiers tried to grab her but she dodged and weaved between them and charged at Kyle headbutting him in the process.

"Argh you stupid bitch!" Kyle yelled blinded by rage, he quickly grabbed Dolly by the throat and threw her down pulling out a knife, "I should skin you alive!" He said suddenly Charlie jumped onto him causing the knife to cut into Dolly's ear, she howled in pain as she jumped back holding onto her ear, it wasn't gushing blood, but it was cut from midway down to the tip of her ear, Kyle managed to kick Charlie off and retrieve the knife.

"Argh look what you done, you ruined my coat!" Cruella screamed in terror at the sight of Dolly holding her ear close, "You ruined my Coat!" She then threw her vile of green liquid at Kyle which hit his face.

"Arghh you Stupid bitch!" He screamed as Charlie tackled him and they both went through a door which let them downstairs.

"No matter I'll just have to make a light jacket." She said as she snapped her fingers, to the her henchmen, "Throw them in, I'm gonna enjoy this." Suddenly a howl could be heard as Spike pounced onto Cruella.

"Don't you hurt my girl!" He yelled out.

"Spike?!" She called out in shock and confusion."

"He's not the only one here Dolly!" A voice said as she looked up.

"Fergus!" Dolly yelled out in joy as Fergus Big-Fee, Sid, and Hunter all jumped down.

"Summer!" Dylan yelled out as Summer ran over and nuzzled Dylan through the cage.

"I'm glad to you guys aren't hurt." She said to which Dylan smiled.

"Can you help us out?" Dylan asked.

"Oh course." She said to which she barked to Hunter for help.

"You pesky, flea bag mutts, I'll have your skins for this!" She yelled out charging at them.

"Big-Fee, you know what to do." Fergus said as Big-Fee quickly pounced onto Cruella's head who immediately freeze's as Big-Fee waved to her.

"Ugh a Rat!" She cried out trying to swipe away Big-Fee but she was too fast for her to get off, she was distracted enough for Dolly to quickly run over and crouched behind her, causing her to fall over and roll into a open cage to which Dylan and Spike quickly closed, "Argh you pesky filthy vermin's." She yelled grabbing hold of the bars, "You think this little cage will keep you safe, mark my words, I, Cruella Da Vil will have my fur, and I will not rest till I..." She swore but Hunter quickly placed a sock in her mouth.

"I've heard enough out of you!" He said as he looked over to the everyone with a smile, Dizzy and DeeDee quickly tackled him and started licking his face.

"Mr. Funny Face!"
"We've Missed you!" They said tickling Hunter who was crying with laughter.

"Ahhh, alright you two I missed you too!" He said as he stood up, "Quickly everyone let's get you all out of here." Hunter said.

"What about Charlie?" Da-Vinci asked worriedly.

"Don't worry Da-Vinci, Charlie can handle himself, I hope." Dolly said.

"Come on, come on we don't have alot of time!" Fergus yelled as he and Hunter led everyone out of the room into the hallway.

With Charlie and Kyle

A door burst open as Charlie and Kyle roll down a fleet of stairs which led into the engine room Kyle was able to kick Charlie off of him causing him to land on the on a large part of the engine.

"Argh look what that bitch has done to me!" Kyle yelled as he looked away holding his face.

"You deserve it after what you've done to me." Charlie yelled to which silence took over only the sound of the engine running.

"What I've done, no... what YOU'VE done!" Kyle yelled as he looked back to Charlie who was horrified at what what he sees, where Cruella threw her bottle of green liquid on Kyles face was melted revealing a glowing robotic eye and and some endoskeleton, "This is what you've done, you made me into this machine!" He yelled as he ripped off a piece of railing, "And now I'm going to show how much pain I went through!" He said wielding the piece of rail and tried to stab Charlie, luckily Charlie rolled out of the way, causing the railing to puncture the machine letting sparks and wires fly out, Kyle with the list for blood and destruction ripped out the man made metal spear and went to stab him again this time, Charlie again ducked but wasn't quick enough as the spear scrapped passed him puncturing another part of the engine causing it to light on fire, Charlie crawled away as much as he can before getting cornered by the very large pistons, Kyle then took the spear and held it up against Charlie throat choking him Kyle quickly lifted up Charlie by his throat along with holding the spear at his throat and started walking forward, pushing Charlie back more and more closer to the pistons, "This is it brother, all that we've waiting for, all of the time we had, this will be sweet and glorious, what do you have to say about that huh, Huh!?" Kyle asked with cackle as Charlie grabbed onto the spear knowing his strength isn't enough to push back, but with a calm and collective head looked at him.

"You... are... my... brother... anymore!" Charlie grunted as he quickly dropped down and put his feet underneath Kyle monkey flipping him over himself where the piston was coming down, Kyle quickly reacted by grabbing the piston and using all of his might to hold it up, but with his strength the entire engine started to go haywire, "This isn't you Kyle, you 'were' my brother, I never meant to hurt you like that, I thought when you died I wouldn't be able to cope with the loss, but then i inherited the Dalmatians, I felt like my family was back together, I saw little pieces of you everyone of them, mostly seeing it in Dolly and Dylan, they reminded me of you, Hell if I was a dog I would feel right at home with them, especially with Da-Vinci by my side!" He said as tears started to form, "I loved you Kyle!" The sounds of screeching metal could be heard as Kyle just stares at Charlie who was kneeling down in front of him, but Kyle screeched at him in pain, his arms started to reveal metal parts puncturing the skin as blood oozed out of the body.

"I HATE YOU!" He said before the piston was too much for him, he lept off the piston before it came crashing down causing a huge explosion sending Charlie to fumble for a bit, after a small emotional moment Charlie quickly ran out of the engine room, red lights flashed throughout the rooms as Charlie exited the storage room where the entire engine exploded causing the ship to quickly lean to one side, throwing Charlie at a wall where everything suddenly went dark.
