Chapter Seven: A Murder Is Committed

"I'm gonna spawn a netherite...with my beautiful singing..."

The sound of a heavily auto tuned voice and a synth backing track filled the secret lair of the Las Nevadas casino. Quackity was writing lyrics to his new song, "Netherite."

"I love Netherite! I love to smoke it! I love to sniff it! I love to put it in my body, and I love it! Netherite, all day, baby!"

Quackity nodded his head to the beat of the song.

"Netherite is the way to go, I love Netherite going in my-"

He didn't get to finish, for at that moment, the door was almost knocked off its hinges, and Purple Guy walked in, out of breath.

"Boss..." he panted. Quackity sighed.

"Knocking, Purple Guy, we discussed this!" he said angrily.Β 

"Mhm..." Purple Guy nodded, unfazed. He looked slightly apprehensive as he spoke, as though the news he bore wouldn't be helpful in any way towards his team.

"We have a problem."

"A problem?" Quackity repeated.

"Well, let's just say I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that I wasn't able to catch the people who were following you."

"Damn it, Purple Guy!" Quackity shouted, slamming his fist onto the table. "They might go to the police now, and we'll be screwed! This good news had better be real fucking good."

"It is, sir, that's why they call it good news." Purple Guy explained. "I found this man that they were going to meet. Mabel, bring him in."

Mabel brought in a short man with a mustache and overalls and threw him on the ground in front of Quackity.

"Not so high and mighty anymore!" she gloated.

"Super Mario?" Quackity asked in shock. "Have you become a crack addict? You look like you've smoked a bit-"

"Okay, who the hell is this 'Mario' people keep mistaking me for?" Mario on crack half-shouted. "My name is Ojisan!"

"Fine, 'Ojisan'." Purple Guy looked down at him. "The four people you were talking with. Who were they, and where are they going?"

"I ain't not saying nothing to the likes of y'all." Ojisan said defiantly. The three of them cringed at the triple-negative. "You're the one who put me outta business, ya hear?"

Quackity pulled a gun out from his pocket.

"Their names were Wonder, Glitch, Technoblade, and Spongebob, and they're headed for your casino." Ojisan quickly explained.Β 

"My casino, eh?" Quackity contemplated this information. "They're not going to the police?"

Ojisan shook his head.

"Hmm..." Quackity smiled. "Mabel, round up the troops."

"Yes sir!" Mabel exclaimed before running off.

"Tell me, Ojisan, do you have children?" Quackity asked.

"No," Ojisan replied. "Only my horses."

"Ah, I see." Quackity looked down at him. "I doubt your horses will notice if you don't ever return to your home. They won't miss you. No one will. Goodbye, Ojisan."

And with that, he pulled the trigger, putting a bullet in Ojisan's head. He fell backward, and hit the ground, dead. Purple Guy smiled.

"Did you know that I have a son, Quackity?" he asked. "I haven't seen him in years."

"I did not know that." Quackity replied, intrigued. "What's his name?"

"|REDACTED|, sir."

"What an interesting name. If you ever see him again, you should invite him to work at the casino." Quackity said.

The sound of footsteps reached their ears, and Mabel returned along with Ballora, Comet, and Squidward.

"Troops, the four people who had followed me are about to arrive at my casino. I suggest that we modify the battlefield to our advantage. Ballora, Comet, the majority of this rides upon you. When they arrive, offer them drinks with dissolved sleeping pills in them, and keep them distracted. Make conversation, flirt with them, keep serving them-"

"Wait wait wait," Comet interrupted. "Did you just say 'flirt with them'?"

"Yeah, of course I did." Quackity told her.Β 

"How exactly do we do that?" she asked.

"Don't worry," Ballora told her, smiling. "Leave it to me."

"Thank you, Ballora. I knew you were cut out to be a bartender for a reason. Anyways,Β Squidward, alert the dealers and hosts to invite them to gamble. When they eventually pass out, we'll take them down here and kill them ourselves. It's foolproof!Β And then, with them out of the way, we'll be free to expand our business, and the casino will grow to become the greatest in the world!"

The villains cheered at this, nodding and smiling in agreement. Quackity cackled to himself.

"Now go and prepare for battle!"
