"I'm tired of Monarch ruining our plans," Claw Noir told Argos as they headed out on patrol. "We should totally get back at him." "How?" Argos said. Claw rubbed his chin, thinking, then snapped his fingers. "I've got it! April Fools!" Argos fanned himself. "Hm, that's not a bad idea, and its just around the corner. But how would we get him back?" Claw puffed out his chest. "Oh, a toy mouse that squeaks would be fun. Ooh, he calls himself Monarch, but wouldn't be meow-static if he got carried off by real monarchs?" "That last one may be a bit hard, but I've got a idea even better then a toy mouse." "Humph," Claw crossed his arms. "What's better then a toy mouse?" "A mouse you can control."
Claw's jaw dropped. "Your powers let you do that? I want a turn!" "No. It would a remote controlled mouse. Still very effective. And since I know who Monarch is, its a shoo-in!" Claw rubbed his hands together gleefully. "Aren't pranks the best?"
"Why is so dark in here?" Claw whined, on April Fools. "And what is all the flapping?" "Would you be quiet?" Argos snapped. "We're in Monarch's lair, and the flapping is the sound of butterfly wings. Now, hush, Monarch could be here any minute!" Claw grumbled, plopping down and sticking his tongue out at Argos.
But at least he got to do the first round of Operation: Squeaky Mouse.
"Ooh! Ooh! Here's he comes!" Argos nudged Claw. "Get ready!" "Payback time," Claw grinned, steering the mouse towards his nemesis. Monarch was just about send a akuma out, when he felt something brush against his foot. "And squeak!"
Monarch jumped back with a high-pitched scream and from there hiding place, the boys stifled their giggles. But Monarch had his own trick up his sleeve. Using one of the powers, he begin to make…..
Another Claw Noir? No, this Cat was pure white and spotted them quickly. "Go, go, go!" Argos scrambled out of the window, Claw hard on his heels.
Even if the prank on Monarch hadn't lasted long, the boys had fun. "Wanna use the mouse on Cockroach?" Claw grinned. Argos smiled nervously. "No, I, ah, have things to do!" And Claw was left with the remote controlled mouse.
"Well, buddy," he stared at the mouse. "Looks like its just going to be you and me!"
