Ch.4
After Zero's wallet taking a large blow, Zero could be found trying to ignore his throbbing headache while his three charges ran around like monkeys on a sugar high. (Which was what they were.)
'Alright, do not strangle them... clear those thoughts out of..'
CRASH tinkle,tinkle
"Boy, that sounded expensive!"
'Take deeeeep breaths... Breathe in, breathe out...' Zero thought, clenching his teeth so hard together it made his jaw hurt. 'Alright, now what do I do with them...' An image of a tank suddenly shot through his mind. '... Oooooooooohh no. No, no no. NO!'
"Ohhhh! Zero! Aren't you gonna teach us how to drive that??" Excited shouts and gasps as they plastered their faces into the window. Zero clunked his head down onto the table.
THUNK 'no' THUNK 'no' THUNK 'no!'
"Wow! Zero! We're gonna learn how to drive that, right? Right?" Azar asked hopefully.
"N-" Puppy dog eyes. Big huge, glistening, blue puppy dog eyes. "...sigh Yes..."
And exactly seven minutes and forty-two seconds later, the afore mentioned tank was smartly driven into an underwater tree.
"Hey! I didn't know they could plant trees underwater!" Slade said thoughtfully.
"Yeah well, drive now, ponder later!" Zero told him off. "Okay, look you're going to have to do thi... hey, are you three listening?"
"I know what to do Zero!" Kraden said proudly. "See you just do this, and this... hmmm... no you do this..."
"What kind of sheer dumb idiot would put a stereo in a TANK?" Zero shouted as music started blaring out of hidden speakers. The tank started to loll around ungracefully to the beat. "KRADEN! DRIVE!"
"Yes, sir, sorry sir, I just had to do that!" He proceeded to drive the tank out of the lake, bumping into such random objects as the ground, rocks, an old boot and a school of tuna. They broke free of the lake, and proceeded to drive into a land-dwelling tree. "Wheee!" "That was fun!" "Let's do it again!" "I'm driving this time!" Loud and happy cheers could be heard coming from the beat-up tank.
Zero shook his head. "You three aren e v e r a g a i n driving a tank! You got that?"
Three sullen faces looked up and nodded.
"And for the love of God, TURN DOWN YOUR STEREO!"
