Killer Fruit part 5

Sangre hid behind a tree, looking at a vampire flower strolling through bushes that she found not too long ago. 'A vampire flower...I dont one of those...she would make nice trophy...' Sangre thought gleefully.

The flower kept skipping towards her home, unaware of the menace watching her silently. A slot in Sangre's gun opened, and a dart shot out of it towards the plant. She gasped when she felt something pierce her skin. She looked down and saw the dart embedded in her stem. Seconds passed and the vampire flower felt drowsy.

Sangre walked around the tree to go up to her." I hope you like your new home sweety~" she sang at the flower before she fell down and passed out from the dart's effect. A slot on Sangre's suit opened and took out a net out from it. She placed the vampire flower in the net and began dragging her away towards the direction of the docks.

Unknown to Sangre, a garlic drone in the sky saw what happened. It glared at Sangre and it was about to launch a corn strike on her head but the drone blew up since it's time has expired. 

The cactus woke up from her trance like state. Mercy noticed " did you find anything?"

"That citron is headed towards the harbor from the direction she went," The cactus inforned her.

Mercy nodded and and turned towards Sombra who was being healed by the group's sunflower." You need to stay somewhere safe, I would suggest to go towards the base as well as to heal yourself further". Sombra nodded and slowly waddled toward the base.

Mercy turned towards her group." Since that plant is headed towards the docks we will confront her when she gets there. I know a hidden shortcut, follow me!" Mercy got in ballform and rolled towards a different path. The rest of the group followed their young leader.

The vampire flower was still being dragged by the sadistic hunter who took an isolated alternate path as to not be seen by plants. "Heh, your lucky your a rare find, or else I would have injured you like that plasma peashooter, I wouldn't want to damage something unique. Either that plasma pea found help or got an infection and died, oh well," Sangre shrugged and continued on her way. Sangre went through some bushes and over rocks to get to the docks, and when she made it there she saw Mercy and her group waiting for her. Sangre tilted her head at them "hello there."

"You!" Mercy yelled, wanting to get to the bottom of this.

"Me?" Sangre answered as if she was being mocked.

"Yes you! You are to be restraint for murder!" Mercy retorted, yet she still had some kind of sympathy towards the dangerous plant infront of her. 'Maybe if I knew what made her this way, then I could help her peacefully instead of retorting towards violence...' Mercy thought remembering her forgiveness towards her ex-tyrant father Purge, but she had to be careful when she aproaches her. This is aplant that she shouldn't anger.

Sangre laughed at the sky then looked towards them, a smirk placed on her lips. She lets go of the net she dragging the vampire flower with and stared at the group with a challenging look, aiming her gun at them.

Mercy flinched at the posture, but she was more focused on the vampire flower that she was taking. She looked up at Sangre " why do you have that tied up and unconscious sunflower with you?!"

"Well she is my newest trophy for my collection" Sangre said with a toothy smile, showing of her sharp teeth with two golden ones while taking a glance at her prize in admiration.

The group's eyes widened "what?! Trophy?!" Mercy exclamaimed. 

Sangre laughed again "yes, you heard right. Trophy. I collect rare specimens for myself since nobody is interested in viewing dead stuffed creatures put on display." 

Mercy felt like throwing up at that. "Why would you do that?! That is horrifyingly disgusting!"

"But its a hobby of mine" Sangre responded.

"Hobby!? Its sadism!" 

"But its the only thing I enjoy" Sangre whined the last word at the younger more mature citron several meters away from herself. 

The peashooter leaned towards Mercy's nonexistent ear. "That orange is a sadistic lunatic. She needs to be put down as quickly as possible before she kills anyone else..." He whispered, which Mercy nodded in agreemen.

Sangre watched curiously and cautiously, holding the rope containing her most recent prize tightly. "Now what are you plants on about?"

Mercy sighted and stepped up a little "we need you to come with us peacefully". Sangre blinked "why should I?". "We can...we can help you." "Help me? With what?" "Help get you away from sadism of yours, for your own good" "heh, I prefer no." "W-what? Why?" "I'm not falling for that, the number of authorities that told me so were all liars." "I promise you, we ar-" "I ain't taking any of your words to consideration, now get out of my way." Sangre finished.

Th group flinched but didn't move. Mercy began sweating nervously "please, we can help you, give us a chan-" but then Sangre pointed her gun at her, red glowing coming from the barrel of her gun, Mercy's eyes widened....
