TEAM 3D vs. THE MALL WAVE |
|
Team 3D is just hanging
out in the living room, channel surfing. In skipping through one televised
program after another, we keep seeing some kind of monsterous tidal wave
on all these different news channels. Not wanting to watch the news, we
keep skipping until we find the first Indiana Jones movie on SciFi, and
we all settle into our seats to watch it.
But, sure enough,
our wonderful program is interrupted for an important news bulletin. Apparently,
there's this weird tidal wave that's tearing through the country, on land,
leaving a trail of one, long, endless mall. For thousands of miles there's
simply this huge expanse of GAPs, Miller's Outposts, Hot Topics, Mervyn's,
Sears, Macy's, Nordstroms, Waldenbooks, and Victoria Secrets. The whole
lot of it sprinkled with those lame Tinder Box shops, poster stores, and
Starbucks.
Towns and crops alike
are turned into malls with surrounding parking lots, and the wave itself
is a mechanical looking, yet constantly swirling, mass of storefronts,
display racks, and hangers.
For the first time
ever, Team 3D literally flies into action. We collide with the center
of the mile high and mile wide wave somewhere in Nebraska, as we attempt
to stop its movement west from the east coast. But we're useless.
All our hitting and
all our kicking does nothing. The wave just passes through us. Then Kenn
gets an idea. We needed telephone poles. Lots and lots of them, with the
cables intact.
The three of us split
up in seperate directions, and return to the front of the wave, about
ten miles ahead of it's path. We quickly plant the telephone poles into
the ground, and rewire them so thickly we created some kind of a net.
Oh, and by the way, apparently, we're superhuman as well.
Sure enough, Kenn's
idea works and stops the wave...
...for a cool ten
minutes.
We needed a way to
somehow hurt the wave while it was down, to do some kind of damage.
And then we figured
it out. We needed the 3D Girls.
Once again Team 3D
contructed a net, yet this time much, much, much bigger. It was able to
hold the wave for at least half an hour. and during that time, the 3D
Girls would strike. Only they could shop so fast and so efficiently, that
they could clean out a mall thousands of miles long in half an hour.
The new net caught
and stuck the wave, and the 3D Girls went to work. While they were doing
their worst, Team 3D kept wrapping and wrapping telephone cable around
the head of the wave, locking it into place.
When we began to
hear it roar in pain, we knew the 3D Girls were beginning to hurt it.
Then finally, the
head of the wave fell dead to the ground, sending shockwaves out for miles
in all directions. Team 3D and the 3D Girls defeated the Mall Wave.
