~Taking Advantage of the Muriphobic~

Otto ran to catch up with Wing in accommodation block seven.

"Hey, Wing! Guess what I found?" Otto said enthusiastically.

"I would, but do I really want to know? Last time you 'found something' was when Franz and one of the henchman stream girls were kissing in a closet," Wing said.

"Hey, it's not like it wasn't disturbing to me too. Besides, at least I can blackmail him with it," Otto replied indignantly, "Anyways, I found a web link to a wildlife rescue foundation that shut down. They planned to put them in zoos, but I thought Dr. Nero would rather meet some of them," He said with an evil smirk.

Nero was fast asleep when Otto released the first mongoose. They were painted 1, 2, and 4. The trick was overused, but idiots fell for it every day. The imaginary number three would be searched out for weeks! And he happened to know that Dr. Nero was terrified of all rodents.

Where he had learned that... well, let's just say that our white-haired friend has a great amount of connections.

The closest he could find to a rodent was a mongoose. At least at that zoo. And resources are somewhat limited if you are imprisoned on a volcanic desert island.

Otto woke up with an earth-shattering girlish scream emanating from the speaker in his and Wing's room.

He checked the clock. 3:00 AM.

"Now the real show begins..." he muttered to himself as Nero unknowingly broadcasted his girlish screams through the public address system.

It was simple, really. He had taped down the button that housed the microphone. He couldn't believe how stupid Nero was to not notice that.

"GET IT AWAY, RAVEN! GET IT AWAY!" he said between screams.

"Stop being such a little wuss, Nero. Gosh..." Raven said, irritated, "Here, come pet it. It likes you."

"NO! GET IT AWAY!" he replied, nauseated at the prospect.

Nothing could have prepared him for what happened next.

Two more mongoose made a flying leap from his chandelier and onto his face.

"AGGGGGHHHHHH!" Nero screamed in sheer terror.

Two days later Nero was still cowering in his room, being faced with the fact that they had caught number one, two, and four, yet number three was yet to be found. By the time he worked up the courage to step foot outside his room, he could not understand why the whole school seemed to be snickering at him.
