Death… by Vending Machine

The Dark Order was having a difficult time meeting their budget and this fact was brought to Chief Komui's attention. Now the head of the Science Division had many things that he should have been doing, as was evident by the massive pile of paperwork that littered the floor of his office, but he took it upon himself to remedy this problem none the less.

The other members of the Science Division weren't entirely certain where their fearless leader had disappeared to but they had enough sense not to go looking for him. This would lead to the risk of coming into contact with another Komlin robot.

Which was something that NO one wanted to experience.

So they left the chief to his work and continued about their own mountainous stacks of work. After all they had enough to do without worrying about what Komui was doing.

Besides, they'd find out sooner or later anyway.

They always did.

A few hours passed and then Komui emerged from his cloister, a broad and somewhat sadistic looking smile on his face. "Well everyone, would you like to find out how we're going to escape from our financial problems?"

The scientists were hesitant to answer this question and unconsciously took a step back, fearing another incarnation of Sir Komlin.

Reever stepped up, a wary look in his eyes. "Alright Chief, let's have it."

With a gleam in his eyes Komui pulled out a wheeled cart, upon which was some strange looking box.

"What exactly is that?" Reever asked, his gaze focused on the chief's newest invention. He wasn't entirely relaxed but some of the tension had diminished when he discovered that the invention wasn't another Komlin.

"I call it a vending machine," Komui said, the smile still spread across his face. "We'll fill it with snacks that people can buy for a small fee. This should fix our financial problems."

Reever wasn't entirely certain that the chief's plans were going to work but shrugged his shoulders. All things considered this was one of Komui's tamer inventions and he was just grateful that no one was likely to get hurt with this one.

Or so he thought.

A couple of days passed and, to everyone's surprise, the vending machine did bring in a fairly significant amount of money. Mostly at the expense of Allen Walker.

"This may just be the chief's greatest invention ever," one of the scientists commented, somewhat shocked.

The vending machine had been placed in the most traveled corridor and Malcolm C. Leverrier was making his way toward his office when he just happened to walk by the strange contraption. Of course he had attended the meeting where Chief Komui had introduced this strange contraption and he decided to give it a try.

Reaching into his pocket the man pulled out a handful of coins, which he proceeded to feed into the machine. Then, once his money had been inserted, Leverrier hit the buttons for his selection.

Which fell part of the way and then promptly became stuck.

Which irritated Leverrier. Balling his hand into a fist the angry man struck the glass, attempting to dislodge his snack.

To no avail.

Now completely irritated Leverrier began to shake the vending machine, in the hopes that this would dislodge the snack that he had paid for. It seemed to be working, as the snack moved a tiny degree, and so Leverrier increased the intensity of his shaking.

Which caused the top heavy vending machine to topple forward.

Leverrier made a move to block the falling contraption but all this did was snap both of his arms a split second before his entire body was crushed beneath the machine.

Later that day, after Leverrier's body had been discovered, the same member of the Science Division could be heard to say, "Definitely the Chief's best invention."

A/N - Mwahaha! I simply couldn't resist this COD! Hope that you enjoyed.
