Mine all Mine
Crimebot rolled forward cautiously. After his near-dangerous encounter with the zombies, he was convinced he should be ready for anything. Setting his "readiness" switch to "anything", he felt now that he was prepared to forge forward into the mineshaft.
Ross and Max, who were coming up behind him, whispered to eachother. "Do you think we'll find more zombies?" Ross enquired of Max.
"If we do, I'll punch their lights off!" replied Max.
"But it's already so dark down here," said Ross, "We need all the light we can get!"
"No, it's a metaphor, like the bible or the robot bible or the zombie bible!" said Max heatedly.
"Oh," said Ross, who now felt like a sheep.
Just then, there was a noise from deeper in the mine!
"GHOSTS!" yelled Ross.
"ZOMBIES!" yelled Crimebot.
"UMBRELLA!" yelled Max, who wanted to be included.
Crimebot beeped confusedly. "Why would it be ghosts?" he asked Ross.
"I don't know, why would it be zombies?" Ross retorted.
"We just finish fighting like 100 zombies, that's why!"
"Oh right," Ross said, again feeling like a sheep.
Suddenly, a giant rat came running around the corner. It turned to Crimebot and began to charge at his back, but deftly Ross jumped in and stabbed it in the eye! Then he yelled "Looks like this sheep is a wolf! In sheep's clothing!" which made Crimebot even more confused and a little question mark appeared above his head, originating from his siren/holo-projector.
Crimebot hugged Ross after that, though, because Ross had just saved his life. But then something went horribly wrong! Suddenly there were zombies closing in on them from the mine's entrance, and in these small spaces Crimebot's standard laser/missle barrage could have dire ramifications. Now it was Senator Max Applesauce's turn to shine. Karate-chopping the wall several dozen times in extreme haste, he caused a cave-in. "Quick," he shouted, "Go deeper into the cave!"
The cave-in was massive. Max was at point, chopping and jump-kicking falling rocks out of the way so that his chums wouldn't be hurt. Behind them, a dozen zombies were crushed and the rest were trapped outside, unable to get at our intrepid heroes. Safe for the time being, the three characters who I just referred to like six times in a row were, however, trapped deep within the mine.
Crimebot shone his siren/holoprojector/flashlight at a nearby wall, where a gilded cage hung. In it, was the tiny, eerily adorable skeleton of a canary. It appeared that even though they had saved themselves, they may have very well doomed themselves in the process. With a few knowing glances, Max, Ross and Crimebot headed deeper into the mine, to the mysterious red X on the map...
