So a Human, a Bot, and a Zombie are walking through the scary enchanted forest.
Thufir:
I don't like this forest! It's -- it's dark and creepy!
Sanity702:
Of course, I don't know, but I think it'll get darker before it gets lighter.
Thufir:
Do -- do you suppose we'll meet any wild animals?
Inhuman Bot:
We might.
Thufir:
Oh --
Sanity702:
Animals that -- that eat brains?
Inhuman Bot:
Some -- but mostly lions, and tigers, and bears.
Thufir gasps:
Lions?
Sanity's eyes grow wide:
And tigers?
Inhuman Bot nods:
And bears.
Thufir looks frightened:
Oh! Lions and tigers and bears!
The trio continues to walk down the yellow brick wall. They lock arms suddenly as they hear a growl in the darkness.
Thufir:
Oh, my!
They all begin to chant together:
Lions and tigers and bears!
Thufir alone:
Oh, my!
They all begin to chant together:
Lions and tigers and bears!
Thufir alone:
Oh, my!
They all begin to chant together:
Lions and tigers and bears!
Thufir alone:
Oh, my!
And then he screams aloud pointing to his left.
What sort of an animal is that?
Inhuman Bot:
It-it-it-it - it's a huge one!
Sanity:
D-d-d-don't be fr-fr-frightened. I - I'll - I'll protect you. Oh, look!
Suddenly a vicious looking Cyberwolf leaps off of a Fiery Tower.
RAAWRR!!
Sanity and Inhuman Bot huddle tightly to Thufir, all three of them quaking in fear.
The Cyberwolf leaps toward them again. Inhuman Bot and Sanity fall to the side. Thufir runs and hides behind the Fiery Tower.
The Cyberwolf growls at the Zombie, who quivers in fear.
Satisfied, the Cyberwolf growls at the Bot, who clanks noisily as he shivers.
Thufir pears out from around the Fiery Tower.
The Cyberwolf sneers at his foes and puts up his paws.
Put 'em up! Put 'em up! Which one of you first? I'll fight you both together if you want! I'll fight you with one paw tied behind my back. I'll fight you standing on one foot. I'll fight you with my eyes closed.
He turns to face the Inhuman Bot, who had just gotten up finally.
Oh pulling an axe on me, eh?
Inhuman Bot falls back to the ground, trembling.
Cyberwolf leaps at him.
Sneaking up on me, eh? Whyyaaih! *Snarls at him*
Inhuman Bot:
Here -- here. Go 'way and let us alone!
Cyberwolf:
Oh, scared, huh? Afraid, huh?
Cyberwolf looks from Bot to Sanity, and then back Bot.
How long can you stay fresh in that can? He then laughs at his own joke.
Come on -- get up and fight, you shivering junk yard! Put your hands up, you lop-sided bag of rotten flesh!
Sanity becomes indignant:
Now that's getting personal, Cyberwolf.
Bot cheers Sanity on:
Yes -- get up and teach him a lesson.
Sanity looks to Bot:
Well -- what's -- wrong with you teaching him?
Bot looks at Cyberwolf unsure:
Well -- well --, I hardly know him.
Suddenly, Reinholdt the cat jumps out of Thufir's basket and starts hissing at the Cyberwolf.
HIIISSSSSS!!!!
Cyberwolf:
Well, I'll get you, anyway, Pee-Wee. And then he begins chasing Reinholdt around the Fiery Tower.
Reinholdt runs to where Thufir is, jumping into his arms.
The Cyberwolf charges after, growling, and then Thufir slaps his face.
Shame on you!
Cyberwolf backs away.
What -- what did you do that for? I didn't bite him.
Thufir:
No, but you tried to.
As Cyberwolf begins crying, Thufir continues:
It's bad enough picking on a zombie, but when you go around picking on poor little cats...
Cyberwolf:
Well, you didn't have to go and hit me, did you? Is my nose bleeding?
Sanity comes around the corner to see what's going on.
Thufir:
Well, of course not. My goodness, what a fuss you're making. Then she notices Sanity.
Where's Inhuman Bot?
Sanity turns around.
I... he was right behind.... Oh no!!! He runs around to the other side of the Fiery Tower.
There's Inhuman Bot, rusted stiff once again. And unfortunately, Thufir has run out of oil.
Summery:
