      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.
