In the previous chapter:
Rita: "So, we are at the freaking South Pole? This cold burns my face..."
Yulia: "We are left alone, let's try to go that building! We'll find shelter from the cold!"
A mysterious girl appeared, saying: "Welcome to the South Pole!"
Rita: "Who are you?"
Joie: "My name is Joie, no need to introduce yourself, I already know who you are, Rita"
Rita: "Explain what's happening, or else...!!!"
Joie: "Or else what? You'll fart? Haha!"
Rita: "How do you know me so well?"
Joie: "I hijacked the airplane to meet you all, I know your powers, I also have your same power, but I'm much stronger than all of you, my farts can clear out entire buildings, making people puke, but Rita, you're using this power in a wrong way, killing innocent people, like Brian! Now, it's time to pay you with your own medicine!"
Gasbot: "I WILL NOT LET RITA DIE! I WILL PROTECT HER NO MATTER WHAT!"
Joie: "We'll see"
The fight begins.
Rita runs to Joie but she gave Rita a punch, making her fly away. Joie is 20, while Rita is 13, so hitting Rita was extremely easy. Physical force was not the right way to defeat Joie.
Yulia was about to go save Rita, but Joie activated a laser trap. Now Rita is trapped inside with Joie, and the fight was only fought by them, and by no one else.
Alice:"Hey! At least let us inside! We're freezing!"
Joie:"Erhm... there is more than one heated building behind you"
Alice looks behind.
Alice:"Oh, thank you".
Alice, Irina, Yulia, Eleonora, Linea and Gasbot entered a heated building.
Yulia:"We should do something"
Alice:"What?"
Yulia:"I don't know, but Rita is in danger now, we should protect her, but there are those laser traps... I don't know what to do"
Gasbot:"I CAN DEACTIVATE THE LASER TRAPS"
Yulia:"Thank you, Gasbot"
Gasbot:"I AM DOING THIS FOR RITA!"
Yulia:"Let's go"
Everyone went to the place Rita and Joie were fighting. Gasbot deactivated the laser traps.
Rita was about to run away but Joie took her arm and stopped her.
Yulia:"Let her go!"
Joie shut Gasbot down with her technology, trapped all of the 5 girls inside a laser cube and said:"I'm not letting this evil girl go!"
Yulia:"Rita is not evil! She has never done anything wrong?"
Joie:"No, right? She has killed her cousin for NO REASON AT ALL! She also likes killing people for no reason. She has killed more than 20 people!"
Rita:"THAT'S NOT TRUE! I'VE NEVER KILLED ANYONE! PLEASE LET ME GO!"
Yulia:"I don't believe you, Joie!"
Joie threw Rita to the ground, making her nose bleed. She kicked her and made her fly away.
Joie:"You deserve to suffer for what you have done, Rita!"
Yulia:"STOOOP!!!"
Yulia was crying.
Joie kept hitting Rita, as she was begging her to stop. Joie took Rita by her hair and moved her through the floor, before kicking her on her stomach. Rita coughed and was helpless, nobody could save her from Joie's wrath. Joie gave Rita a slap and spit on her face, and then she gave Rita a punch on the forehead. Rita didn't want to cry, but she was about to.
Joie:"I'll tell you what Rita has done!"
Yulia:"We won't believe you anyway"
Joie:"It was Rita's 12th birthday. Hannah, who is Rita's best friend, asked if she was ready to kill Brian, Rita's cousin, with her farts"
As she said that, Joie threw Rita to the floor, making a loud noise.
Joie:"Brian has recorded everything and sent it to me before dying".
Joie showed the video to everyone and activated Gasbot.
Gasbot:"RITA!"
Gasbot's bytes suddenly changed when it saw the video:
... Hannah:"First off, Happy Birthday. Secondly, you ready to kill Brian with your gas?" Rita:"Yep, I've already had 4 cans of beans and some eggs."...
Gasbot:"Rita... is that true?"
Rita (crying):"I'm really sorry for it! PLEASE FORGIVE ME!"
The video continued.
Brian awakened and saw that Hannah was holding him down. Then Rita looked down at Brian and said "I've be eating a lot of beans, Brianna. And you know what that means."
Gasbot:"Rita, you..."
Hannah laughed and said "Time for you to die."
Yulia:"RITA! NOW I BELIEVE JOIE! HOW DO YOU DARE DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT? YOU DESERVE THE WORST PUNISHMENT EVER!"
Brian:"Go ahead and kill me with a face fart, Rita. Let loose the deadliest fart you can."
Gasbot and Yulia:"WHAT?" Yulia:"He actually wanted to be killed?"
Since it was a special occasion, Rita played the song "Kill You" by Eminem. Rita is crying a river, she regrets what she has done.
The video showed the lifeless Brian's body, and then Rita slit Brian's throat and put that knife in his hand, making it look like a suicide. She thought that no one would know that she was the killer, but now the truth has come to light. Rita hated Joie with a passion.
Rita (almost fainted because of the kicks and punches):"A question... how did you get that video?"
Joie:"It's very simple, my dear, I keep track of all the people who have really stinky farts, since I'm the stinkiest farter in the world. I saw you were overdoing it, so I gave Brian a hidden camera to know what mischievous things you were going to do. I also knew about everyone else, you know, you call yourselves the 'Arctic Skunk Girls', but I can tell you it's just a coincidence, there are millions of boys and girls who do very stinky farts. I knew that your farts were getting to a point they could kill someone, so I waited for you to do that, but hoping you wouldn't do that. You have killed a person without any reason, and now YOU'RE GOING TO PAY!", said Joie, punching Rita's teeth.
Yulia:"RITA! YOU'RE THE WORST PERSON EVER! AFTER JOIE HAS DONE WITH YOU, I'M GOING TO ADD SOMETHING SPECIAL TO YOUR PUNISHMENT!"
Rita:"PLEASE FORGIVE ME!"
Joie punched her on her breasts, making her spit.
Joie:"AND WHAT ABOUT IQANGAVARAK, KHULIGAN AND JENNIFER? REMEMBER THEM? THEY'RE DEAD NOW! BECAUSE OF YOU!"
Gasbot's script lead to an error. He was programmed to always stay loyal to Rita, but his humanity was starting to appear.
Rita:"I... I'll never do that anymore, I promise"
Joie:"I don't believe you, Rita, you're false and evil. You're definitely going to do it again"
Gasbot:"I BELIEVE RITA!"
Joie:"Eh, Gasbot, I understand your feelings. But what about Jennifer, Khuligan, Iqangavarak, Brian and all the people she killed? It's not like they'll come back to life, plus..."
(AUDIO): Rita: "I have no problem killing people who I don't care about with my gas."
Gasbot:"RITA! NO!"
Rita:"Gasbot, that was more than one year ago, I'm not like that anymore!"
Joie:"SHE'S LYING! Gasbot, please show us the audio before the trip to Alaska!"
Gasbot:"They don't deserve to live, I will KILL them with my putrid gas! Ahah!"
The 5 girls were shocked.
Gasbot:"THAT WAS A METAPHOR!"
Joie:"Really? Was Brian's death a metaphor, too?"
Rita:"I regret what I have done, please, let me go"
Joie:"And your 20 classmates? Do you think I believe in the gas leak story?"
Rita was powerless against Joie. And Gasbot was not by her side anymore.
Joie:"Let's put it this way, Rita. Who guarantees me that you won't go around killing people again?"
Rita:"I've changed. I now understand that the death of a person actually means intense pain for many people. I don't want to kill anymore"
Joie:"Also tell your friend, Hannah or whatever her name is, she shall NOT dare harming someone!"
Rita:"I'll tell her, I promise"
Joie:"Have you learned your lesson?", said Joie, scratching Rita's neck, making her bleed a little. Rita was very tired because of the fight. Her life was as bad as life can get. Her plan to kill the other girls has failed, she lost Gasbot's friendship, the only thing that could comfort her was that she was still alive, after all. Yulia saw Rita, she (Rita) was sad. Joie was not happy, either. She was very angry at Rita because of the people she killed. Joie wanted to hug Brian and spend really nice moments with him, and be happy and joyful, but now, Brian is but a distant memory. Brian wanted to be happy and feel loved, he wanted to have children, get old and remember the nice old times when he was still a teenager. Joie wanted him to be very happy, she wanted to see him smile. She would do anything to hug him, play with him and smile happily together. But now Brian is dead, and not even South Pole's technology can bring him back. And this is all due to Rita's evilness. Joie slapped Rita's face very hard. If Brian was still alive, she and him would be together running on the ice, singing and holding each other's hands like true friends do. They would hug each other so tight, smiling and feeling warm and serene. Joie wanted to make Brian feel safe, she wanted to tell him that nobody could harm him, and most importantly, she wanted to tell Brian she loved him. But that's not possible anymore. Joie has spent some nice moments online before Brian's death, but they were not enough. Brian can't feel loved anymore, and Joie's face was starting to become filled with tears. And what about Jennifer? Yes, that girl whose only fault was playing a song on her mobile phone. She died because of Rita. And Victor? He was a bully, yes, but killing is never the right solution. Joie punched Rita's nose. Rita asked her forgiveness, but Joie's soul was filled with frustration. Brian is... no more. Joie cried, and decided not to think about that again. The dead is dead, and cannot be brought to life again. She was so angry she couldn't hold herself. She punched Rita many times, pulled her hair, scratched her, slapped her, kicked her, banged Rita's head on the wall, but she didn't seem to be satisfied with this punishment. Of course she didn't want to kill her, but she wanted to make her feel the same pain she was feeling.
Rita was knocked unconscious on the floor. Joie was still not satisfied? What can she do? She can't do anything. She remembers when she chatted with Brian. He said he wanted to study chemistry. Now all his dreams are gone. This mistake will never be canceled. Brian's parents were suffering so much for the loss. And they didn't know Rita was the killer, yet. Nobody could ever suspect a teenage girl to do something that horrible, and nobody ever found out. The autopsy said that Brian's death was due to gas poisoning, but the farting hypothesis was so unreal it was ruled out. Joie was beginning to calm down, as it's normal with a crying person. She was thinking about Rita's evil acts. Rita is incredibly evil, the true villain of the story, but she is so good at hiding it. Nobody knows about Rita's murders except Hannah. Everyone who knew something got misteriously killed. Even Gasbot thought that the "killings" were just a metaphor, and that it just meant that those people were just extremely uncomfortable about the smell. But now Gasbot has added information into his database, and he now understands that Rita is evil. Gasbot has now a binary choice to do. 0 = Be evil and protect Rita at any cost, even if it means she's going to kill other people and cause unnecessary suffering, and 1 = Punish Rita for what she has done and help Joie and the others. People usually think that robots don't have ethics, but somehow Gasbot is different. It's true, he's programmed to do pseudo-randomic choices in cases where the choice isn't clear, like this case, but, coincidentally, Gasbot chose to help Joie. This can't be a concidence.
Gasbot:"RITA! DIE! DIE! DIE!"
Joie:"Gasbot! You've finally made your choice! Thank you, but Brian can't be revived. I'll never get the opportunity to hug him again. I'm sorry"
Joie cried again and knelt on the ground, covering her eyes with her hands.
Joie (sobbing):"Iqangavarak... Khuligan... Victor... Jennifer... Brian...". Brian. Joie cried even more, thinking about him. Brian was such a nice kid. He liked to watch TV with his friends. At the moment of his death, he didn't fear Rita, he accepted his fate and now rests in peace. The sorrow will never end. Even Joie has a dilemma. What will she do with Rita? She's unconscious on the floor. Joie can easily kill her, but then, what? She will become like her, a killer, and couldn't accept that. And then where would be no fun. She has to learn her lesson.
Yulia:"Are you going to kill Rita?"
Gasbot:"DO IT!"
Joie:"No, I won't kill her. I don't want to become like her. Plus, she has to learn her lesson! After that, she'll become a better person!"
Yulia:"Are you going to hit her again? She's exhausted and can't even more anymore!"
Joie:"I will think about that. Sure she has to be punished for what she has done! She has killed more than 20 people! We can't let such a dangerous animal free, do you understand?"
Yulia:"Yes..."
Joie is weak now. She has calmed down from crying twice, and now she's not very powerful. She still can hit Rita, but the punches will be less painful. She didn't want to forgive her, at least, not before hitting her some more. She didn't want revenge, that would mean she had to kill her, no, she wanted justice. Every person who has died because of her, needs to remember in a special way. Rita was still unconscious, and the opportunity to punish her was now, or never. Maybe. But then Joie thought that it's no fun hitting an unconscious person, as they don't feel pain and can't defend. She was waiting for Rita to wake up. Will Joie hit Rita again? Probably. She was feeling so angry and sad, she couldn't possibly miss this chance. It was today or never. Both because Rita will be able to defend herself soon, and because Joie's anger will be wiped away because of time.
Joie:"You can't imagine how hard I want to kick this beast, but now I pity her"
Yulia:"Joie, I... I've made someone gag and cry because of my farts, I admit it, but I've never killed anyone. Rita has killed his cousin. For which reason?"
Joie:"For no reason, my dear"
Yulia:"She's not our friend anymore"
Joie:"She'll never be my friend, that's for sure, and now she's going to pay. I will punch her so hard, she'll never forget that!"
Yulia:"That's good, Joie. Do what you want with her, she has killed someone and deserves whatever punishment you have in mind for her"
Rita opened her eyes, she is awake now.
Joie:"Oh, look. The baby is awake! But it's not time to feed you! You have been a very bad girl, and now Joie will make you understand!"
Joie tied Rita so she can't escape, and then said:"I'm going to punish Rita with my special method. Please leave this room, things are going to get pretty stinky here!"
The five girls ran away.
Joie:"Gasbot, you can stay"
Joie sat on Rita's nose. "I have a very special one for you! And this will be only the beginning! Please think about what you have done, you're going to regret it, you want it or not!"
Rita (weakly):"Please, no, let me go, I won't kill anyone anymore, please"
Joie:"No, you beast! You know, I'm known for my very stinky farts. I've cleared large rooms more than once, and everyone ran away screaming. There's no way you can handle my stink, I'm sorry, but I have to do it!"
Joie farted. It immediately burnt Rita's nostrils and made her cry. She didn't want to breathe anymore. She'd rather die than taking another whiff of that pungent stench.
And this is only the beginning.
