CoaP - Breaking the Habit
By: Shaun Shikeishuu

The time is the end of March and it’s a beautiful spring day. The sun is shining and the birds are chirping as the flowers are in bloom. The CoaP gang can be found out back of the warehouse taking advantage of the wonderful weather by having the first cook out of the year. Neon Chaos can be seen in front of a grill wearing one of those “Kiss The Cook” aprons but the word “Kiss” is crossed and the apron instead says “Feed The Cook’s Ego”. You see various foods on the grill including burgers and hot dogs.

Meanwhile Zin, CK and Super can all be found sitting at the picnic table drinking cans of beer while Nuku takes a sip of her coke. They’ll all enjoying themselves while waiting for the food to get done. Hyper however is no where in sight.


Nuku: Oh what a beautiful day. This is the first really nice day of the year so far.

Super: Yeah I’m glad spring is finally here. I was getting so sick of the cold.

Chao Killer: And best of all we can eat stuff off the grill again!

Zin: Heck yeah dude! How are those burgers coming along Neon?

Neon: Almost done guys!

Chao Killer: Sweet I can’t wait to have a hot juicy burger. I mean I totally deserve one!

Nuku: Hey wait guys, where is Hyper? He loves eating food from the grill.

Super: Yeah and he loves beer too! I wonder where he is?

Chao Killer: I haven’t seen him all day.

Zin: Well I did this morning. I came out to get the paper and I saw Supafly out on his front yard yelling about something. I looked up then and saw Hyper running around on his roof wearing a white hood.

Nuku: What? What on earth is he up too…

Zin: I don’t know but man Supa was pissed!

As the gang continues to talk a figure is seen lurking around the patio corner. He wears a white cloak and hood and has a pair of gauntlets on. The camera zooms into the figures left hand and you see a plastic spoon slide out in-between two of his fingers. He moves in closer to Neon as he’s seen laying out pieces of cheese onto the burgers. The rest of the gang don’t seem to notice as he sneaks up closer to Neon, then finally the figure leaps towards Neon as he turns around and stabs in the neck with the plastic spoon causing it to break.

Neon: OW!!! What the fuck man!?

The figure crouches on the ground and you see a close up of his face and it’s Hyper. He then stands up and dashes off as the rest of the gang all look to see what happen.

Super: What’s going?

Neon: Hyper just attacked me with a spoon!

They all spot Hyper as he runs off and Zin and CK both get up and chase after him.

Chao Killer: Damn it Hyper get back here!

Hyper: (To himself) Oh no I’ve alerted the guards! Oh well no matter I’ll be able to escape with ease.

Just then Hyper turns a corner and is face to face with the side of the warehouse wall.

Hyper: Ha! I’ll climb this building and escape pursuit!

Hyper dashes towards the wall and leaps towards it, attempting to grab hold. Instead he smacks it with a sick thud and falls to the ground as Zin and CK corner him.

Zin: Your in trouble now Hyper!

Super, Nuku and Neon all show up next.

Neon: Damn it Hyper what the hell man! That really hurt!

Hyper: My name it is not Hyper, my name is Altair!

Chao Killer: Oh brother I think he’s been playing Assassins Creed way too much…

Neon: Argh whatever. Let’s just go eat.

Super: Woo! Food!

Later that night the gang minus Hyper are all sitting around in the living room having a little meeting of sorts.

Neon: It has come to my attention that ever since Hyper started smoking he’s been acting weird.

Nuku: When doesn’t he act weird?

Neon: I mean weirder then usual.

Super: Yeah like the other day I was hanging out with him and he kept saying “Eeeeyyyy!!!” all the time and hitting every juke box he could find. It’s that wasn’t even the worse of it!

Flashback to the other day, Super and Hyper are outside a fast food joint. Hyper is sitting on a motorcycle and in front of him is a ramp set in front of a line of trashcans.

Super: Um dude maybe you shouldn’t try this.

Hyper: You doubting the Fonz? I can do anything. Eeeeeyyyyy!!!!!

Hyper revs up the motorcycle and drives off the ramp, jumping all the trash cans and landing on the other side only to skid out of control and crash into porta potty which is knocked down a hill with someone still inside.

Cal: Hey what the heck is going on out there!?

Cal’s screams can be heard coming from the porta potty as it tumbles down the hill. Meanwhile Hyper stands up and rubs his head.

Hyper: Eeeeeyyyyy!!! That kind of hurt…

Super: Idiot…

The flashback then comes to an end and we cut back to the gang in the warehouse.

CK: You know I remember Hyper watching that episode of Happy Days where the Fonz jumps over the trash cans just the other day.

Nuku: So Hyper was imitating something he saw on TV?

Zin: Not just TV it seems, him and me were playing Super Mario World yesterday and then later I went with him to the Mini Mart to get cigarettes and he stomped on some kids pet turtle claiming it was a Koopa Trooper.

Nuku: The cigarettes must be the problem then since he never did these kinds of things before.

Neon: Yeah smoking has to be it but why?

Super: Hmmm well Hyper constantly has alcohol in his system since he needs it to stay Hyper. Now I’m no doctor but maybe the nicotine and other harmful chemicals in the cigarettes has somehow become to much for his system to handle and he’s now starting to hallucinate at random and re-enact thing he sees in TV and video games.

Neon: Super, you genius! That actually makes perfect sense!

Super: Wooo! I’m not being called an idiot for once!

Nuku: Well now that we know the problem all that’s left is to get Hyper to quit.

CK: Well that easier said then done.

Zin: Yeah I don’t see how we’re pulling this one off.

Neon: We’ll worry about it tomorrow because tomorrow it’s time for an intervention. Hopefully Hyper won’t cause too much trouble until then…

After that the gang all get ready for sleep while Hyper can be found up in his room smoking a cigarette while watching his Bleach DVDs.

Hyper: Yeah take that you Hollow bastard! Kick his ass Ichigo!

The screen fades out and soon we cut to the warehouse the very next with everyone sitting around eating breakfast. Suddenly a loud banging is heard at the door.

Neon: Who the hell is banging on my door this early in the morning!?

Neon goes to answer the door and Cal is standing there not looking too happy.

Neon: Cal!? What do you want!?

Cal: Normally I would be here with some two-bit scheme to marry you Neon but instead I’m here to deal with Hyper.

Super: What did Hyper do?

Cal: Don’t act stupid Super, even if that is what you best at. For you know why I am here!

Super: I do?

Cal: Yes the other night I was involved in an accident where a porta potty occupied by me was hit by a motorcycle and knocked down a hill. After trying to track down the punk responsible I learnt it was Hyper, and I learnt that Super was his accomplish! Now you will both pay! Mmmmyeessss!

Super: I had nothing to do with it I swear!

Cal: Then I shall deal with Hyper! Where is he anyway?

The gang all look around the warehouse for a moment.

Zin: No clue.

Cal: Well that’s just fantastic! I come all the way over here and…

Before Cal can finish Hyper comes running into the room wearing a black robe carrying a baseball bat.

Hyper: Don’t worry guys! I’ll take care of the Hollow!

Cal: Hollow? What are you talking about you fool?

Hyper: Ahhhhhh!!!!

Hyper jumps Cal and starts beating him with the baseball bat.

Hyper: Die you filthy Hollow scum!

Cal: Ahhh!!! Ow!!! Get him off me!!! Help!!!

Neon and the rest of the gang all rush over and grab hold of Hyper, pulling him away from Cal who is now curled up on the floor screaming.

Cal: What is his problem!?

Nuku: I think he thought you were a Hollow.

Cal gets back up and moves towards the door.

Cal: Well I think he’s crazy! Now if you excuse me I’ll be getting far away from him.

Cal slams the door and slowly limps away.

CK: Hey at least he scared away Cal.

Neon: Regardless we really need to do something about him.

The scene fades out and we cut to a few hours later.

Hyper: Hey guys I’m out of smokes so I’m going to go pick a pack up. Be back later.

Hyper heads out the front door as the rest of the gang sits in the living room.

Nuku: Wouldn’t now have been a good time to have the intervention?

Neon: As soon as he gets back. Then we do it.

Later we cut to Hyper walking home smoking a cigarette. He passes by a TV store and sees “All That” is on one of the TVs.

Hyper: Haha, All That. Haven’t seen this show in years!

Hyper continues to watch TV as we cut back to the warehouse.

CK: What the heck is taking Hyper so long?

Zin: Yeah he should have been back by now.

Nuku: He’s probably out causing more trouble.

Just then the sound of shattering glass is heard as Hyper drops through the warehouse skylight, landing lifelessly in the living room while wearing a pair of overalls.

Neon: Oh come on!

Super: Dude I think he’s dead.

After a moment Hyper jumps to his feet and places his hands on his hips.

Hyper: I’m Repairman man man man man! Uhuh!

Neon: That’s it! Were fixing this problem right now!

Hyper: Something needs fixing? Never fear because I’m Repairman man man man!

Hyper grabs a hammer and starts smashing things.

Zin: Quick grab him!

The gang all jump him and we cut to the gang circling Hyper as he’s tied up.

Neon: And that’s why you need to stop smoking!

Hyper: Wow did I really crash through the skylight then?

CK: Yes and you smashed the TV.

Hyper: Oh my bad. But it’s kind of hard to quit smoking.

Nuku: Don’t worry we’ll help.

Super: Yeah that’s why we tied you up.

Hyper: Wait do you mean your just going to leave me here and deny me cigarettes!?

Neon: Yeah it seems like a pretty good idea. We’ll bring you food and beer but no cigarettes.

Hyper: This is madness!

Zin: Madness…? This! Is! Cake town!

Everyone stares at Zin.

Zin: What!?

Neon: Anyway we’ll be leaving you alone now.

Hyper: Hey wait!

Super: See ya later dude!

Nuku: Bye Hyper

CK: Good luck dumb ass.

Zin: Mmmm cake.

The gang all leave Hyper tied up.

Hyper: This sucks.




The End
