Chapter 27- The Mice Will Play
*Lowee Basilicom*
"...yes, of course I'll let you know, Lady Blanc," Financier spoke over the cell phone. "Okay then, bye." Hanging up, the maid looked outside, seeing Peashy, Rom and Ram having a snowball fight together. Even though Peashy was getting pummeled way more than the other two, she seemed to be enjoying herself, regardless... "Well, I suppose I should get some snacks ready for when they come- MMMMPH!" She cried as she was grabbed from behind, a chloroform cloth being shoved over her nose and mouth!
"Shh, don't struggle," her captor whispered. "It'll all be over soon..." Sure enough, Financier's struggles soon ceased, going limp in Underling's arms. "Warechu, get a chair over here!"
"Right-chu!" Warechu nodded, pushing a chair over to them, Linda sitting Financier in said chair, adjusting her position so we wouldn't fall out.
"Good, now they'll think she just nodded off. Come on!" Leaving the maid where she was, the two miscreants quietly went off...
*Blanc's Office*
Blanc's desktop computer had been unplugged, Linda now trying to pry open the tower with a crowbar. Looking across the room, she saw Warechu apparently spray-painting the wall... "What are you doing?!" she hissed.
"Just leavin' a calling card, chu," Warechu responded, painting the words 'HO-HUM WUZ HERE'.
"Ah! Got it!" Linda grunted as she finally pried the computer open. "Hard drive, hard drive... here it is!" With a sinister grin, she forcibly pried said hard drive out of the tower, leaving a sizable hole behind! "Alright, we got what we came for! Let's vamoose!"
"Wait for me, chu!" Warechu said as he followed Linda out of the office.
*Meanwhile, in Lastation...*
"Ha! Headshot!" Uni grinned as K-Sha's character slumped over and de-spawned.
"Ooh, I'll get you next time!" K-Sha growled as she respawned at the corner of the map. Just then, the two heard the sound of glass breaking upstairs!
"That came from Noire's office!" Uni realized, jumping to her feet.
"Oh no!" K-Sha gasped as she retrieved her machine gun, the two abandoning their FPS game and quickly running upstairs to Noire's office... When they got up there, they saw that one of the windows had been smashed, the lack of glass shards indicating that it had been broken from the inside out... everything else seemed to be untouched, however. "Doesn't look like anything's been stolen..."
Uni brow furrowed as something occurred to her. "Wait a minute..." Walking over to Noire's desk, she pressed a hidden button underneath, causing the wall to slide open, revealing a closet! "This is where Noire keeps all her cosplay costumes..."
"A-are they supposed to be all torn up?" K-Sha asked nervously.
"What?!" Uni ran over to check... sure enough, not only was the closet half as full as it should have been, the remaining costumes, had had a knife taken to them! "Oh no... Noire's not gonna like this one bit..."
"Should I tell her?" K-Sha offered.
Uni just shook her head. "No... as her sister, I have to take responsibility." With that, she pulled out her Sand-Song phone, and dialed...
*Leanbox City Zoo, Polar Bear Exhibit*
"I wanna pose with the bear next!" a young girl exclaimed.
"No, me!" another girl protested, with both gathering around Kuma, who was currently making a strongman pose as if we was just another mascot at the zoo. The girls' parents were trying to get them to stop fighting, while at the same time getting their cameras ready...
"(Dude, what are you doin' outside your cage?)" One of the polar bears growled at Kuma.
"(I'm a free bear, I don't live in a cage,)" Kuma grumbled back, not even turning to look at them. "(Are you seriously fine with being cooped up like that?)"
"(Dude, compared to the frigid wasteland we grew up in, this is heaven!)" another polar bear responded. "(You should join us!)"
"(I don't think so. And you're all a disgrace to real bears,)" Kuma tried to keep from raising his voice.
"Are you taking to your cousins, Mr. Bear?" one of the children inquired.
"Everything okay over here?" a zoo worker walked up to the group.
"Just dandy," one of the fathers replied.
"I must admit, whoever sewed this bear costume did a wonderful job," one of the mothers complimented. "You can't tell this mascot from the real thing!"
"Uh..." the zoo worker sweat-dropped. "But, we don't have a grizzly bear costume..."
"(That's my cue!)" Kuma promptly dropped onto all fours and let loose with a loud roar!
"AHHHHH! It's real!" the kids screamed as they ran, the parents running after them in panic.
"Mayday! Mayday! One of the bears is loose!" the zoo worker cried into his radio, before Kuma knocked him unconscious with a strike to the head!
"(Too easy,)" Kuma chuckled. "(Now, time to cause some havoc!)"
At the other end of the zoo, Dogoo Man could hear the roars of his comrade and the screams of the tourists. "There goes Kuma! Now it's my turn!" Emerging from his hiding spot, he ran over to the exhibit where the surviving Tenga from the stadium battle with Lilithmon were being held... "Hey Tenga! Your black cat friend sent me to bust you out!"
"Caww! It's about time!" one of the Tenga flapped its wings in irritation. "We were wondering when she'd come to get us, after making a new copy from one of us a while back!"
"Just be glad they came for us at all, caww!" another Tenga admonished his brethren.
"Okay, quit your squawking," Dogoo Man grunted as he made his way to the locked door, grasping the bars and pulling with all his might, the door creaking and warping before being wrenched right its hinges! "-There! You're all free!"
"Yeah!" "All right!" The thirteen Tenga promptly exited their prison, jumping and flapping their wings in joy!
"HOLD IT! What do you birdbrains think you're doing?!" an older, grizzled zoo worker called out as he ran up.
"Getting our revenge, caww!" With that one Tenga grabbed the ex-drill sergeant' shoulders in his talons, lifting him off the ground! "Take a swim, caww!" he taunted as he let go, the worker splashing into the seal exhibit! The other Tenga laughed as the worker was promptly used as a ball by the largest seal, being bounced on its nose!
"Okay! Let's cause some more ruckus before we go back to headquarters!" Dogoo Man declared, he and the bird-men promptly running off to join up with Kuma...
