Chapter 5: %$#@ Toilet

"Aw, %@$#!" Slayer cursed. "%@#$! %@#$! @#$%! %@#$! @#$%!"

"What is it, Slayer?" asked Virus.

"I just remembered that I left the toilet running at that house in the country." The monkeys were back in the city.

"It should have overflowed by now," Slayer observed.

"Yeh. But who cares? I mean, we are going to battle Xiop Sooey, and then have some pizza. We shouldn't have a care in the world, after that," Virus said back.

"I guess so." The monkeys were in their home in the sewer, with May.

"Maybe you should just talk to him," May suggested.

"Nah. That'll never work," said Slayer.

"Yeah. It's not violent enough." added Bloode.

"You know," Phil stated, "we don't really know much about this Xiop Sooey character. For all we know, he may be a she." The others laughed, but when they really thought about the preposterous thought, it scared them. There was a long silence.

"Who's hungry?" Phil asked to break the silence.

"I am!" they all cried out at once. They all ate dinner in silence, thinking about the thought of Xiop Sooey being a woman. Whenever they tried to shift their thoughts to other subjects, their minds kept on coming back to wondering what Xiop Sooey really looked like.

"You know," stated Virus, "we need to learn some information on this Xiop Sooey character. To really know the villain, you need to really know the villain."

"Your words inspire me," said Slayer sarcastically.

"What I mean is, we need some info," Virus replied.

"But where would we get it?" Bloode asked.

"Where else? May O'Schlemiel." Virus replied.

"Oh, Maaaaaay!" Phil shouted. "We have some questions for yooooou!"

"Yes?" May replied.

"What do you know about Xiop Sooey?"

"It goes great with soy sauce," she answered.

"No, Xiop Sooey. The guy. The villain of this story. Spelled X-I-O-P -S-O-O-E-Y. The guy that has some of Fatty on the bottom of his shoe."

"OH! THAT GUY!" she shouted rather excitedly. "He lives right across the street from me. Not a very nice guy. He mostly stays indoors."

"He?"

"Well, I've never seen his face, because he wears a large tin can with eye and mouth holes. And I've never seen what his figure looks like, because he wears a large barrel in addition to regular clothes. I have just always thought of Xiop as a male."

"Hmm. Look's like we have to dig up some information on this Xiop Sooey character." Virus acknowledged.

"Yup. Uh huh. We sure doooo." Phil stated.

"Then we need to figure a way to defeat him or her." said Bloode. The four monkeys went to the place where Xiop Sooey lived. While Bloode, Slayer, and Virus were scaling the wall to find a skylight and break in, Phil tried the door. It opened right up. Phil walked in, and fell into a large pit.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah" he screamed as he fell downward. The others heard the noise, but didn't do anything about it, because they didn't really like him anyway. They successfully opened a skylight, and lowered themselves in. They crouched down, so as not to be seen. They got their weapons ready. The monkeys were fairly quiet, but their cover was blown when Virus's chicken started bawking.

"BAWK! BAWK! BAWK!" the chicken screamed, as if it wanted the monkeys' cover to be blown. Xiop Sooey barged into the room.

"Ok, wiseguys. Come on out and fight me!" Xiop yelled. The monkeys stood up.

"You squished Fatty! You must pay now!" Slayer screamed.

"Ha! Put down your pitiful weapons," Xiop Sooey snarled menacingly. The monkeys looked at each other for a second, then dropped them.

"We'll fight you," suggested Virus.

"Fine, but make it a fair fight. One on one, but not in here."

"Then where?" asked Bloode.

"In the video game room," Xiop Sooey replied.

"Why there?" Virus asked.

"So we can fight," Xiop Sooey responded.

"I don't get it," stated Virus.

"You didn't actually think that I would actually use my fists to settle a dispute, did you?"

"Well, yes. We did. We were wrong. Sorry," Bloode apologized.

"We'll play Noxious Warrior 3!" Xiop exclaimed.

"No!"

"Then your pal will be eaten by a giant piece of pizza! Ha ha aaa!"

"That's just sick! That is just the most heinous thing I have ever heard! Of course we will play you!" Virus screamed.

"HA! I knew you'd give in!"

"Yeah, but what do we get if we win?" Slayer asked cautiously.

"I will give myself in to the cops, and never ever try to take over the world again," Xiop Sooey answered. "But if I win, you will all be eaten by a giant piece of pizza!"

"Will we ever see what you look like?" Bloode asked.

"Soon, soon," was Xiop Sooey's reply. So they all went to the video game room.
