Maybe he just wants to play a game [End]

It was time for the final showdown. One minotaur vs a siren and two bald gorgons, one of which now outfitted with cybernetics that had currently run out of power. The odds were easily in Miny's favor given his freak durability, but if he didn't know how to swim and he was sunk in deep waters, the bald gorgon plus siren team might just win.

"So how do we get him to the boat?" Gorana growled.

"That's your role, not mine. Just know that if you fail, I'm subjecting you all to complete humiliation," Deda's voice giggled.

"Won't you get punished too?"

"... Gorana, turn the volume low so that only you can hear this..."

Gorana's face slowly went pale as Deda went into detail on just how badly she'd humiliate her if she failed.

"So what'd she say?" Meda asked.

"I dare not repeat it. It was too vulgar," Gorana trembled.

"Probably stripping and getting experimented on before a crowd," Camilla shrugged.

"Oi Camilla, you don't take this seriously, I'm shaving your head!" Deda growled.

"Eh, my hair's been a pain lately."

"I'll glue you to the hull of a ship for the rest of your days."

"Alright, minotaur goes down, no thoughts of trying to screw over Deda threatening the mission," Camilla grumbled.

"Um, what about me?" Meda asked.

"Want a full charge?"

"Yes!"

"Then get the minotaur's attention and get him on the boat."

"That's the thing, you haven't told us where the boat is! It's why we're all standing here dodging road chunks that beast is throwing."

The line went quiet.

"Um, doc?"

"Mmph."

"Huh?"

"Mmmph ngh!"

"Doc, I can't-"

"Is this the "monster taskforce"? Sorry, but your mad scientist just got kidnapped by us, the gang of... what's our name again?" a deep voice mumbled.

"Mmmph."

"Sorry, let me pull back the gag. What was the name?"

"Icarus! You dolt!" Deda shouted.

"Uh, that's my name."

"Hold on, are you actually trying to fake your kidnapping in order to get out of telling us BASIC instructions!?" Gorana fumed as she dove behind a car.

"Um, I really am tied up. Icarus, stuff that gag back in my mouth and take a picture!"

Gorana rolled her eyes as the call ended. A second later, she and the others received both a phot and video of Deda tied up in a chair and gagged. A gargoyle was also in the photos, but for those that knew, this was actually Icarus, a gargoyle who had been kidnapped from Notre Dame University by Deda and brainwashed into becoming her personal servant. Only the task force knew of his existence though.

"Hey wire head, you have any idea on what the boat might look like?" Gorana asked Meda.

"No... Oh! I think I got it! She never made a boat, but wants to save face so the higher-ups don't arrest her!"

"Well that would have been nice to bring up BEFORE she threatened us! Fine, we'll just use an ordinary boat. Camilla, go find a boat and mod it so that once the minotaur steps onto it, it starts speeding towards open water. Then get in position so that you can capsize the boat when it reaches the point."

"Uh, what do you mean, "mod"?" Camilla frowned.

"Fucking idiot... I'll do it myself then!"

However, as Gorana ran, Miny decided to chase after her for some reason.

"Tch, Camilla, get your ass down to the waterfront. I'm gonna need you to drag me out of the water."

"You can't swim?" Camilla scoffed.

"You know what, I should just let this minotaur rampage... Forget it, he's trying to kill me. Look, just get in the water!"

Camilla shrugged as trotted over to the cliffside before leaping off and diving into the water.

With some insurance guaranteed, Gorana ran as fast as she could down the winding road to the marina. Meda, meanwhile, just stood there and ate imaginary popcorn as she watched Gorana struggle not to get caught by Miny.

Eventually, Gorana reached the marina, but with Miny right on top of her, she couldn't enact the plan as Miny would thrash her before she could even get the boat running.

"I'll have to bluff it," Gorana thought as she leapt atop a boat and stared down Miny. "STONE EYES!"

Miny instinctively shielded his eyes, which proved to be the critical moment as it allowed Gorana to hotwire the boat and send it speeding off into the water. She then leapt off, and began dog paddling for dear life as she knew not how to swim proper, but luckily for her, Camilla was there to rescue her. Even better, Miny continued to remain stationary, and by the time he realized Gorana was long gone, he was already in deep waters.

Enraged, he ran to the boat's controls, but the moment he tried to interact with them...

Boom!

A giant hole burst through the bottom of the boat.

Miny let out a roar and charged off the boat, but sank like a stone the moment he hit the water.

"Well damn, he really did sink. Mission accomplished," Meda shrugged.

Rumble!

The ground began to shake as something gigantic appeared to be emerging from the sea.

"MEDA!" Gorana fumed.

"What? There's no way that's him. Minotaurs don't grow like those sponge capsules do when you throw them in the water."

"Oh, you think something large emerging from the water ISN'T a problem!?"

"Ladies, please. This might get serious," Camilla scowled as something burst from the water.

Sweat ran down the girls' faces as they stared out at a giant eyeball. It was a cyclops. Worse, atop the cyclops' head... was Miny.

"Fucking shit... He sunk, but he fell onto a cyclops who woke up and brought him back up! Now what!?" Gorana trembled.

"Woman," the cyclops grumbled.

"Uh, which one?" Meda nervously smiled.

"All you women."

The girls collectively gulped.

"The minotaur has awoken me. Why is he rampaging?"

The girls all blinked in confusion.

"We don't know," Gorana stated.

"I wasn't asking to know, I was asking if you know. Seems you do not. Fine, I'll just tell you the answer so I can get some peace and quiet. This minotaur is seeking a new phone."

More confusion spread on the girls' faces.

"Uh, he wants a phone?" Camilla scowled.

"Yes, to play Great Theft Autobus."

Gorana cocked her head. "Did the phone he was using break?"

"He says it shows only a weird red symbol."

Gorana let out a heavy sigh. "I think I can fix this."

...

Miny cheered as his phone turned on and the game returned.

"All you gotta do from now on is charge the phone. If it does break though, we've supplied you with backups along with a console version of the game. Honestly makes me jealous how much you're getting- Ahem. You've also got power, but in the event of a power outage, we have 10 generators on standby. Oh, and there's also a meat delivery service so that you don't snack on anymore humans. Not like I'd mind if you did- Ahem. And with that, bye," Gorana sighed.

Once she was out of the labyrinth, Gorona clutched her head. "What a day. Now finally, time to relax."

"Yup, Spa d' donut is ready and waiting," Deda's voice crackled.

"No, I'm not going to be humiliated again."

"Relax, I'm just gonna glaze ya."

"Last time you said that, I found myself bound with my head, face, and mouth encased in sticky glaze... It was humiliating..."

"And you loved it."

"No, I hated it."

"Well too bad, I wanna glaze ya."

"Why?"

"Because I like seeing your cheeks go red as you moan and tear up."

"Sick. You're a sick woman. Do that to yourself."

"That ain't how S and M play works."

"Do it to someone other than me then."

"Mmm, no."

"Fuck you."

""Want me to activate your chip, or do you want to come here on your own?"

"Ugh, can I at least eat the donuts first?"

"... No."

"I hate you, but before you hang up, tell me if you truly did build a booby trapped boat."

"Oh I did."

"Where is it?"

"Hmm... Do you see a big flashy yacht? Red n' blue?"

Gorana squinted and noticed such a yacht in the distance. "Hmm, I think I see someone about to board it. A guy in a suit, balding... isn't that the president?"

The line went quiet.

"DEDA!"

"Congratulations on your promotion to squad leader! Donut shop's all yours!"

Bzzt!

Fury spread across Gorona's face as the yacht began blasting towards open water with the president on board screaming like a goat. But before the boat could explode, the cyclops rose out of the water, grabbed the president, and hurled the boat as hard as he could into the sky.

"Bald woman... When you next see Deda Los, kill her," the cyclops growled as he waded over and set the president down before her.

"I would if I could," Gorana sighed.

"Yeah, not happening. Anyway, president's safe, so I'm in command again. Oh, and I just got a new mission for ya."

Gorana let out a groan.
