Kovu watched with light satisfaction as he was certain this hardware store was too good to be true, certainly for his side, and on appearance, for the tavern reforming group. "Have fun," he gestured at the video screen. In his light satisfaction altered mind he called over Genuflector and Annoyance to enjoy the show, however this would occur, Kovu was very unusure how the traps were set up.
The lot of them moved quickly to pace through the aisles to replenish the supplies that were crushed or shattered. Baeauman was deathly afraid such a quality hardware store wouldn't have bent nails . . however a whole aisle subsection was devoted just to this. How unusual but true it was. Boards were a major concern as was more furniture. On the overhead screen Kovu and his subordinate pair waited carefully but were not going to be at ease until someone got snared.
Propulsion was tired of all the work and needed a good rest. His swaying body collided with a set of hammer storage and sent the whole stack falling to the floor. Kovu and the generals gave this a standing ovation until when the dust and noise cleared they found that Propulsion was safe and it was never a trap. A few of the staff members were on their feet ater the accident and cleaned it up in the business time measurement called a jiffy.
Kovu glowered. "That wasn't very impressive. I would have rather attacked them myself." General Genuflector felt similarly trodden on. "What did he actually put nice workers in the store?" he griped. "I would have expected assassin workers, myself," added Major Annoyance. "Taking a look at the ratchets, next thing they know, bam!" he described. They waited, quite distraught, for the onslaught of traps to happen. A very unexpected occurence was in order unfortunately.
As Speedy walked along with Propulsion past towers of mollies and bolts an unpleasant feeling came over Propulsion. "I have felt a strange disturbance in the two by fours," he said interpretively to Speedy. He was not greeted by much. Speedy looked around in fact at the board asile where three of their group remained collecting boards. "Um I may have some Nyquil if you must," replied Speedy after a bit of thought. At that point the wormhole opened and scattered all over the store lay in fact Kovu's, eViL aRmY. It was not hard to miss.
Kovu again realized this was not a trap but was overjoyed. What a disruptive turn of events! The taverners were frozen in their tracks in disbelief. What luck, they worried. What luck indeed however for both parties. This many soldiers were bound to uncover the traps inside the store. "How may we help you?" said a pleasing worker to a few soldiers. "This particular model comes with a set of five bits!" described a further assistant to one of the soldiers, who was actually interested. Then the traps began to go off as the soldiers fumbled around. In only a few minutes hardly any of them had seen one of the taverners and none of these soldiers knew what to do with them. Mousetraps clinched across the store on the soldiers' hands and feet and they waved their appendages rapidly as necessary. Such a disorderly scene drove Kovu into great unhappiness but the leaders nearby took time to wonder what good mousetraps would do. "What was he thinking, tom and jerry?" gnarled Annoyance about Slayer. "That's not what I'm thinking," confirmed Genuflector. The taverners in fact still worked gathering supplies, but slower. They were unfazed by the sudden appearance of the mousetraps and recieved no harrassment by the eViL aRmY. The mousetraps began to detonate, and they had to stop again. Large explosions they were. Kovu was in a fit of rage despite the near equal problem this presented for his enemy. Things were collapsing all about with no time to be picked up and smoke and dust began to fill the store to its unfinished ceiling. "Despicable!' blew off Ducky for it truly was to the poor travelers, having to leave with only a small amount of new supplies. "Exploding buildings are no fun anymore," worried the charred fellow. In fact this store had propane and gas tanks as well and a similar scene followed. "This city is the worst," complained Baeauman. "We've got to get a new vehicle and hit the road," he decided to the group. "A truck or bus I suppose," said the hot cross one. This was a good idea, they agreed. Kovu was on his knees. Although his eViL aRmY was probably not gone and forgotten, he had done a substandard job keeping the War Tavern crew out of line. A new strategy must be drawn out, and his top leaders were ready to assist.
