Chapter Text
Ashes never though much of the octokittens. They were a little annoying, but also kinda cute. And there were tons of them. It was absurd! Every time one of them got itself killed, a new one just popped up! So of course, it was a problem when Ashes saw one of the kitties. In some explosives.
“Oh shit.”
The octokitten mewed, curling its tentacles tighter around the bomb.
“Hello, Octokitten. How about you… get away from the Bomb?”
Said Ashes, carefully stepping closer. The kitten was… purring. Great.
Ashes extended their hand, petting the little thing. It purred louder.
“Okay. Now let’s get away from the
bomb. Me and Tim are saving it for a
special planet.”
So Ashes picked it up, its tentacles unsticking one-by-one.
One, Two, Three, four, five, Six, Seven…
And that’s when Ashes noticed the last tentacle. It was holding a grenade.
With its mouth, the kitty bit the pin off.
In the single moment before the whole room exploded, Ashes looked the octokitten in the eye.
“I hate you.”
Boom.
