“I am Death Leopard. Galileo. Einstein. Edison. Tesla. Musk. I constantly get compared to these IDIOTS who believe that true Human ingenuity is what makes for the greatest human being. THAT is where your EXISTENCE was wrong! I grew to despise you. You were just some normal kid ,and for some reason, your insecure pathetic self was loved by everyone, including the woman I loved.”
“You had a girlfriend!” yelled Beatle.
“Yeah! But Anna was WAY FUCKIN’ HOTTER!!! And we had better chemistry!!! And I grew to hate you with EVERY FIBER of my being!”
“Jealous, bro?” asked Billy.
“NO FUCKING SHIT!!! I TRIED MY BEST TO BE ONE OF THE MOST INTELLIGENT MEN ON THE PLANET!!! INSTEAD, EVERYONE LIKED YOU BECAUSE YOU WERE BULLSHITTING THEM BY PRETENDING TO BE THIS KINDOF LOYAL FUCKER WHO BELIEVED IN EVERYONE!!!”
“I did…” said Beatle, looking exasperated.
“NO, YOU DIDN’T!!!” Death Leopard boomed as he walked around in his armored mech suit. “You don’t have feelings! You told me stories when you were a kid about how you used to kill animals!”
“They were more like mishaps because I was a terrible pet owner.”
“You put spikes on a soft-shelled turtle to TURN HIM INTO BOWSER!!!”
“I didn’t know it was a soft-shelled turtle.”
“YOU CRUSHED SNAILS!!!”
“I thought they were toys,” said Beatle, shrugging. “I really was just a kid who had autism.”
“YOUR FAMILY ABUSED YOU!!!”
“Yeah. I shared that with you because you were my friend, dude!” smiled Beatle. “And you used that to threaten my Tita Mommyta.”
“Yeah! But YOU SHOULD BE A PSYCHOPATH AFTER ALL THAT ABUSE!!! AND INSTEAD THE WORLD FAWNED FOR YOU!!!”
“Yeah,” said Beatle. “I don’t know why.”
Stolen story; please report.
“Because you’re a good guy, Dad.” Billy smiled, hugging her father.
Beatle hugged her back.
Death Leopard stomped before them.
She covers her ears, cringing at the loud noise.
“Dude… Chill…” said Beatle.
“And you made ANNA CRY!!!” roared Death Leopard.
“Because she went to a party and I wasn’t’ invited when I clearly wanted to join.”
“You broke her heart! Invalidated her feelings by saying she never cared about you!”
“Yeah, I invalidated her. No, she said she didn’t like me back. And for that I MUST AVENGE HER HEART!!!”
Beatle sighs. “I cannot believe Anna bought into your bullshit. This is why we never had kids.”
Death Leopard powers up, and Beatle senses danger.
“Get behind me,” he told Billy.
Death Leopard punches Beatle and slams him into the pillars behind him. “
“DADDY!!!” Billy ran to Beatle.
“I am ON PAR with them! And your existence illuminates how far we can actually go! Which is the bare minimum of YOUR POWERS!!! YOU ARE GOD AND WE ARE NOTHING BUT THESE ANTS TO YOU!!! You told me you feared ants, but I realized you feared hurting ants. You were disgusted not with ants but with yourself, hurting those creatures. I named you Beetle because you were a weak bug… TO BE STEPPED ON!!!” Death Leopard kicks him into the bridge in Rimando Road, causing a panic outside. “I HATED YOU because YOU WERE THE VERY REMINDER THAT WE WILL ALWAYS STAY BELOW TO SOMEONE LIKE YOU!!! WHO THINKS THEIR CONDESCENDING SMILE MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER!!! YOU DON’T.” He beats Beatle over and over. “DESERVE. THIS. POWER!!! And yet the world JUST LOVES YOU, don’t they!?” roared Death Leopard. “I made everyone think you were crazy! You were a sexual maniac even though you were just joking! I MADE EVERYONE THINK THAT YOU WERE A DISGUSTING DEGENERATE FROM EVERY JOKE YOU LAID OUT DURING YOUR RUN AS SAINT KING!!! IT WAS ME, BEATLE!!! I RUINED YOUR LEGACY!!!” roared Death Leopard, beating Beatle in the dirty, mud-ridden river. “And now no one remembers who you are… Ever wondered why your friends hadn’t landed yet? BECAUSE I MADE SURE THAT THEY WOULD BE STUCK IN PERFECT ORBIT!!!” laughed Death Leopard, pointing to the palace’s tower, revealing that the tower is the thing interfering with the ship’s course. “Building that tower was relatively simple! But I made sure to make it JUST TO FUCK WITH YOU!!!”
Beatle asks, exasperated and bleeding. “Why?” he grunted in pain.
“Because I…. am Death Leopard! And I will be remembered as the man who killed the Saint King!”
“No one knows who I am,” said Beatle.
“Wait, what?”
“Dude. You were telling me how badly you ruined my reputation over 800 years. No one remembers who the fuck I am. I just pretty much walked into this place and no one…” He coughs and pukes blood. “Stopped me. Because… No one knows what the Saint King is.”
Death Leopard smiles. “You just gave me an idea!” He drops Beatle on the ground. “Public execution! Your daughter will be the first seat in the house! Wahoo!”
