This one's for you, Caleb. *Rolls up sleeves, cracks knuckles*
"Quick." said Fang, starting to walk upstairs. "We can warn ourselves so that we can help us get that gun.... Wow, I don't say that sentance every day."
"No!" said Creeper sharply, grabbing Fang's arm. "We can't be seen, we might think we are imposters, and hurt ourselves."
They walked to the front door, disarmed the security devices, and re-activated them once outside. They ran to the store, not talking much along the way. When they got there, Fang checked his watch. It was 6:30. Cornface might already be there.
"Excuse me," he said to a passing clerk. "But where would one find a Mega-Doom 3000?"
"Down aisle 17, right side." She said with a confused look over her shoulder as she walked to her station.
They ran down the store, stopping at aisle 17. They jogged down it, and looked at the shelves. A small price tag taped to a shelf said:
MEGA DOOM 3000
$100,000,000,000
"No wonder he had to steal it." Creeper whispered. "It's worth a fortune."
"Or ten fortunes." said Fang, looking longingly at the price tag.
Above the price tag was
"That's the same gun Cornface used to kill them in the furutre." said Creeper, looking at the gun with loathing.
"......... What? You just used a past tense to talk about the fututre that already happened.... Wow, this is weird." said Fang.
"That's it!" Creeper exclaimed, and he walked a few feet to the right and carefully peeled off the label of the
Stun-Gun 200
$500
He took the label off the Mega Doom 300 and put it on the Stun Gun 200, and vis versa. He then switched the guns places.
Fang looked down the store, then tackled Creeper into the next aisle.
"Look" he whispered, pointing down to Cornface walking down the second aisle. With a little climbing, they took a postition where they could look over the aisle wall without being seen. Cornface walked down the aisle, observed the guns,and raighdown the Stun Gun, now looking like the Mega Doom, and walked out of the store. Creeper and Fang tailed him and saw him walk straight passed the check-out. When the clerk they themselves had asked called out to him and started running, he pointed the Stun Gun at her and shot. She fell down to the ground, twitching.
"See?" Creeper whispered to Fang from their point behind the crane game. "It has the same effect as the Mega Doom, just not fatal."
They waited for about an hour as the store bustled with activity. They were in the aisle next to the dairy aisle when they heared voices.
"You do realize that it was probably the bad guys." Said Fang's voice.
"The bad guys." said Puddle's voice.
"We'd better get to HQ and tell the other guys about this. You know, see what they think." said Anime.
The voices started to fade, and Fang and Creeper followed them in the next aisle.
"Yes!" said Past Fang.
"You agree with me?" Asked past Anime.
"No, crane game!"
They watched as Past Fang inserted the dollar and won the haunted house, and gave it to Puddle. After a moment, they left the shop.
"That was strange," said Fang.
"Come on, we have to catch up to them." said Creeper.
They followed them out of the shop and to the road the HQ was on. They hid behind a bush as PAst Creeper ran into Anime and Cornface blasted Puddle and Anime with the Stun Gun. Past Fang and Creeper felt for a pulse in their necks, but obviously felt nothing, and Present Fang and Creeper followed them to the HQ and saw them travel back through time.
"Quick!" said Creeper, running to Sora's body. "The stun gun 200 stopps pulses, but it doesn't kill if they get immediate attention. He ran to the closet and got the emergency heart dilibra-thingys and charged them up. he pressed them against Sora's chest and, after a tense wait of about 5 seconds, his heart started beating again. The same process happened to the rest of the team.
"So." said Puddle a few hours later, sitting in one of the comfy chairs in the rec room. "Now all we have to do is find out why Cornface wanted that weapon in the first place."
"To try and kill us?" said Anime in mock hesitancy.
"No.." said Puddles, frowning a little. "I think that was his own idea, not his master's."
"By 'his master's.'" said Crackers. "Do you mean Smiley, or Barney?"
"Well," said Creeper. "Barney kind of retired a few months ago, right after the time in Galactic's lab, so I'd say he works for Smiley."
Well! That was fun! Next comment will bring another post.
