In The Eye of The Storm

One cold winter in Zomburbia, a storm was brewing in the northern mountains. Few zombies dared to travel here, as the bitter cold and freezing winds quickly deterred most of them.

In the midst of this horrible winter storm sat a lone yeti. A lone yeti, giving no care to the storm as he focused on his important task. He could not fail. He had to open this lunchbox. Yet no matter how many times to smashed it against a rock and no matter how many fingers he broke, it wouldn't open. So he set out on his adventure to find the holy pliers of Zombarctica.

As he traveled across the wasteland, he noticed something was amiss. The temperature had started rising, and the snow was beginning to turn into water. The yeti cradled his lunchbox and walked through the snow, looking around, not in fear, but curiosity. What could possibly be here?

As he neared the fabled cave of the holy pliers, a fireball flew out of the cave and struck the snow to his left. The snow flew up in a cone and landed in the shape of a flower, then melted. The yeti backed up a step, then continued his walk towards the cave. The fireballs kept coming, but the whoever was firing them had the aim of a stormtrooper. The yeti reached the cave, but a fireball caught him in the chest and knocked him backwards. The fur on his chest singed at the tips.

The yeti stood up, mad, and charged into the cave. A sunflower stood leaning against the wall. She set down her phone, annoyed, and launched another fireball at him. He rolled to the side, and knocked it out of the way with his lunchbox. He spotted the holy pliers the same time she did, and dived towards it. She grabbed it off the wall and threw it behind her, then launched a volley of fireballs at him. He easily knocked them aside with his lunchbox, then shambled into the shadows. She sighed, picked up her phone again, and began texting.

The yeti had no idea what she was doing here. He just wanted some pliers. Why did she have to try and light him up while he was at it? A bit annoyed, he dove out of the shadows and grabbed her. She yelled in anger, threw her phone to the side, plopped on her goggles, and lit her whole body on fire. In pain, he threw her to the side and smacked her with his lunchbox. She collapsed, and the fire went out. He scooped up the pliers and sat against the wall, trying to figure out how to use them.

The sunflower sat up groaning. He threw the pliers at her. She promptly collapsed again. He scooped them up, and a layer of ice seemed to have melted off. The pliers now opened up, squeaking and groaning. He stuck the end under the lunchbox, and squeezed. With a pop, the lunchbox broke open and golden light flew out.

When the light faded from his eyes, he picked the lunchbox back up. Only something was wrong with his hands. They were covered in ice! He also felt stronger, taller, and faster. Feeling powerful, he ripped off a chunk of the sunflower's suit and fashioned it into a mask. When he looked into the shiny interior of his lunchbox, he felt indestructible. Still annoyed at the sunflower, he picked her up. Imagine his surprise when she froze in a block of ice. Then, for good measure, he kicked her down the mountain. She tumbled out of sight.

When he picked his lunchbox back up, a slip of paper flew out. He picked it up and read it.

Dear Brain Freeze,

I apologize for not telling you beforehand. This lunchbox isn't yours. When I fired the Hero-tron(Well, when Impfinity did), a beam of the energy flew to your cave and entered this lunchbox. The energy was powerful and essentially sealed this lunchbox shut. And so needing a fighter to combat this annoying sunflower, I had Impfinity switch this out with yours. Don't worry, your lunchbox is safe and sound. You'll find it back in your cave. If you are reading this, you have found the holy pliers. Please retrieve them for me, it was incredibly stupid of Impfinity to steal them then lose them in a random cave. In your lunchbox back at your home you will find further instructions.

Sincerely,
Dr. Edgar Zomboss.

The yeti smiled. Brain Freeze. He liked that. Brain Freeze closed his lunch box, sauntered out of the cave, and started back home.
