Got A Sugar-Coated Plan

Everyone looked a bit baffled by how many weapons were in Tophi's hideout. Even Tika, who had seen her fair share of weapons and worked for a weapons dealer, was taken a back. "How the hell hasn't Panila found out about this?" Uma muttered, which he gave a playful laugh as he ran his fingers over a lemonade grenade launcher. "She knows, but we just keep this a little secret."

"I'm assuming your Candy coated ass has got a way to take down Wendy then?" Ven asked flatly, to which he froze up, his grin fading for a moment. "Hehe... About that.... Wendy is immortal. Unkillable by my weaponry." He sighed, tossing a gumball in his mouth, as Vex was about to ask for one, only for Tika to hold her back. 

"Luckily my Boss gave me something we can use." Uma sighed, handing Tophi a rugged old journal that had an unknown language on it. Except for Tophi who beamed at the sight. "Wendy's journal!? How did that mischievous rodent come across this?" He laughed, tipping his hat to Uma. "She never reveals her ways... But my guess is she saw it lying around and just took it." He laughed.

As Vex began messing around with some of Tophi's weapons, he skimmed through the book before slamming it shut. "Well. There goes my plan." He sighed, tossing the book to Ven. "Turns out she truly is immortal. Like, even she doesn't know how to die." 

Ven used Tid-Bit to also scan through the book before finding a page at the end, reading it aloud. "Apparently... Wendy found a way to become human again though... Well, half human. It requires her to... Eat someone she cares about."

Tophi froze up for moment before laughing. "Well, exactly. She doesn't care about anyone but Panila. So. No dice there Rabbit..." He sighed, pulling Vex's hand away from a few number of devices. "Miss, is this your pet jackalope? Please tell her to stop trying to touch or eat my creations."

Zamtika rolled her eyes and went to grab Vex as she picked up a prototype of Tophi's new cane. As soon as Tika went to grab her, Vex accidentally poked Tika with it, instantly turning her into a gummy version of herself, to everyone's shock, horror and Ven and Tophi's amusement.

Vex stared down at her mother's gummy form, nearly in tears. "I-I... D-Did I-I k-"

"Kill her? Oh yes. She is quite dead now." Tophi laughed, picking up the gummy and tossing it to Ven with a wink. Uma quickly began consoling the crying Vex, as Tophi motioned for Ven to follow him.

"Alright Candy man, explain." He said, reaching for his blade. "Well... Your friend isn't dead for one thing. Just... Stuck like that for about twenty or so minutes. But about the note book... I know of someone she cares enough about."

Tid-Bit took control and pointed to Tophi. "You, right?" She smiled, squishing Tika in her other hand, having never felt such petty amusement before. "Correct, Rabbit. And if you want your prize... You'll have to feed me to her." 

After twenty or so minutes of Vex crying, Zamtika returned to normal, with Vex quickly hugging her and apologising profusely. The two walked back over as Tophi presented them one half of the sub-mind heart. "You see, me and Wendy made a deal awhile ago. We cut the heart in two and never really used it. But, if you can get her to eat me while I hold it? I reckon it should make her somewhat beatable."

Tika awkwardly shuffled her way over to Tophi, clutching his prototype gummi cane. "And we're using this, right?"

"Correct, Oni. Once we do so, you'll just need to call out her name, #######." 

"Then let's get geared up, I guess." She sighed, poking Tophi with the cane as he used his heart's ability to eat his half of the sub-mind. Ven picked up the gummy Tophi, who still held a smug pose even when candy. Everyone began reading themselves with Tophi's arsenal of weapons, with Ven grabbing a the cane from Tika and, with a bit of help from Tid-Bit, made a ghoulish gooey gummy upgrade to Heartbreaker, allowing him to gummify people he jabs with his blade. He also stole a few randomly weird named sweets for his friends.

Uma had selected himself a jawbreaker mace, while Tika grabbed the lemonade grenade launcher. Vex went around looking for the perfect item and stumbled upon a can of something called "Coke" locked away in a see through box. She, almost instinctually, grabbed it and shoved it in her pocket before leaving with everyone else. 

"Let's go hunt a deer."
