The three crept into the electronics section, dart guns at the ready.

"Hold up." Said Okano. "I need to grab a CD."

"Make it quick." Said Isogai.

Okano crept towards a bin of bargain cds and began searching through it.

"Nickelback... Lia... Ew country... Ooh the new Wake Up girls album!"

"Love Live is better." Said Isogai.

"I like the one wake up girl though girl." Said Okano. "The one with the cute voice...Aha!"

She took a cd case labeled mushy love tunes out of the bin and put it in her basket.

"Why did you-"

"It was on my shopping list, don't ask me why."

Okano took out her list and read it over.

"I need milk... Ramen noodles, and garlic powder..."

"Uh guys..." Said Kataoka.

She pointed to a group of people in the distance who were slowly approaching them.

"We got company!"

They aimed their dart guns and pulled the trigger. The guns immediately fell apart.

"Eh?!"

"Cheap pieces of shit!"

"We need to ru-"

Isogai suddenly fell over.

"What the-"

A ribbon was tied around Isogai's foot leading to the nearby crafts aisle and began slowly pulling him in.

"Help!"

"Isogai!" Kataoka ran over to him and tried to break the ribbon free.

"It won't break!"

"Theyre getting closer!" Said Okano.

The gymnast began throwing bits of broken dart guns at the incoming figures.

"Kataoka... I don't think I'll make it..."

"Don't say that, we'll get through this!" The ribbon pulled him in faster.

"If you see him... Tell him I said goodbye."

"You can tell him that yourself!"

Isogai waved goodbye as tears fell from his eyes.

"Tell my family... They're on their own now..."

Isogai was mere inches away from the craft aisle.

"No..." Muttered Kataoka.

Isogai was quickly pulled into the crafts aisle, followed by a deafening scream.

"ISOGAI!"

Kataoka ran towards the Crafts Aisle but Okano grabbed her arm.

"It's too dangerous! We need to go someplace safer!"

"But Isogai is-"

"Isogai is gone! We have to get out now!"

Okano looked Kataoka in the eyes.

"Its what he would have wanted..."

Kataoka reluctantly followed Okano away from the approaching mob.

The pair came to a halt in the gardening department.

"We lost them..."

Kataoka collapsed onto the ground and started crying.

"He's gone... My best friend is gone..."

Okano raised an eyebrow.

"Wait I thought I was your bestie."

"Who will represent the class with me... Whos going to have lunch with me... Whos going to help me pick out swimsuits at the mall..."

"Wait thats a think you two do?"

Kataoka looked up from her misery to glare at Okano.

"I VALUE HIS OPINIONS!"

She instantly resumed her crying. Okano sighed and took a seat on a conveniently placed lawn chair.

"It'll be hell getting back to the groceries..."

Thats when Okano noticed an unopened cup of ramen on the ground.

"Eh?"

Okano got up and examined the packaged food.

"Whats this do-"

Thats when Okano saw a shelf full of ramen noodles in front of her, glowing with holy light. She carefully grabbed a pack and looked it over in her hands.

"Why are these even here?" Asked Okano.

"There was a mix up in stocking shelves, all the ramen ended up here and the raingutters ended up where the ramen was supposed to be."

"Oh well that's conv-NNNIENT!?"

Okano saw a man wearing a coat made of flattened ramen noodle cups holding a rake decorated in cold noodles, and wearing a large ramen noodle cup as a hat.

"THE HELL?!"

Kataoka got up and wiped the tears out of her eyes.

"Okano I'm trying to mourn here so could you-holy shit."

"I am the noodlemaster, guardian of the Walmart's ramen noodles!" Bellowed the man.

"Um..."

"You shall not take those noodles!"

"And what are you going to do about it?" Asked Kataoka.

The noodlemaster threw an old cup of cold ramen noodles at Kataoka.

"Ew! This smells like its been in the garbage!"

"It was."

The noodle master pulled out two more cups.

"I save all my ramen leftovers to use as deadly weapons."

"Enough, lets kick his ass Kataoka." Said Okano.

"I'm gunna need a sec..." Said Kataoka, resisting the urge to vomit.

The noodlemaster threw two cups at Okano, but the gymnist skillfully dodged them both with a backflip. He threw another at Okano. She kicked the incoming ramen cup back at the noodlemaster. The cup hit his face, getting stale liquid and expired noodles all over his face.

"Oh please."

He licked the mess off of his own face.

"Gross."

Okano charged forwards and delivered a powerful kick between his legs.

"... Was that supposed to hurt?"

Okano ghasped as she realized her kick didn't affect him.

"How?!"

"I'm wearing a cup!"

The Noodlemaster picked Okano up by her leg and smirked.

"A noodle cup."

"P-put me down!"

The noodlemaster laughed as Kataoka regained her composure.

"Alright, I'm ready."

Kataoka pulled out a pocket knife and stabbed the noodlemaster.

"Gah! My chest!"

The noodlemaster exploded into ramen noodles as Okano landed on her rear.

"Good thing I grabbed that knife from the old guy." Said Kataoka.

"Yeah, real lifesaver." Added Okano.

Kataoka helped Okano to her feet.

"Ready to go?" Asked Okano.

"Go where?"

Okano smirked.

"Well I still need garlic powder and milk..."

Does anybody get the wake up girls reference?

And I know this was weird but stay with me, it'll all make sense.
