"Have you men heard of a man called Smart-man?"
Idiot-man frowned.
"Yes.. that man made fun of my grandfather-mans bad-disease-man. I don't like him."
"Narrator-man steps unto action to make idiot-man change her op-onion-man about smart-man."
Narrator-man jumped in front of idiot-man's chair as he said that, making it so that his face was right in front of hers.
This made idiot-man a bit uncomfortable but Narrator-man continues to explain.
"You see, Smart-man is a social outcast-man and thus his conversation-man with you was the only conversation-man he held with a person other than his mother for year-men. Cut him some slack-man, my man."
Idiot-man looks angry.
"He laughed at my grandfather's suffering."
"That's just called a nervous tick-man. He didn't even find it funny when he laughed-man."
"How do you know that? You weren't there."
Idiot-man asks.
"It cause it an narrator-man."
And everyone in the room goes:
"Oh ok, my man."
"He also an smart-man and adjective-man and thus, he is needed for our group called "manly men alliance."
Basic man shook his head.
"Let's come up with a name later."
- - -
"When I shout the signal-man, run out the secret pathway-man that leads a chute-man just a few meter-men next to the regular chute-exit-man."
Random-man nods.
His gigantic ebony tinted muscles and manly beard-man spoke to smart-man in a language that he understood.
"We'll take care of everything."
The manly beard-man said while giving him a thumbs up.
Random-man didn't say anything but also gave him a thumbs up.
And thus, Smart-man started to climb out of their hiding place.
Meanwhile on the outside.
"So, let's say there is a kind of bunker under this place, do we even have an attack that can pierce that metal reliably?"
The supervised monster asked.
"Why not just use our laser beams? They cut through anything."
The supervisor monster answered with a question.
"But I want to make their heads pop between my fingertips. If the laser kills them it won't be any fun."
"So thats the problem... well, you see:
Shut up. Laser beam time."
"Ugh... okaaaay............. lame."
As they were charging their deadly laser beams, the chute suddenly opened and an smart-man jumped out.
"Oh... can I pop him between my fingers, please?"
"Oh okay."
They stopped charging their laser beams.
"Come here little man~"
The monster tries to reach for smart-man, but only grabs air.
"Stop touching me!" Air-man says somehow.
"Ah sorry... wait.. who said that?"
Smart-man has run away pretty far and the monster chases after him, ignoring the mysterious thing that had just occurred to him.
Smart-man looked behind him.
Only one of the monsters was chasing him.
"Damn... is it enough that that other guy-man just stares at me, maybe he won't notice the men rushing out... no.. I'm gonna try something."
Smart-man, smart as he is, grabs a random pebble of the ground and throws it at the monster that wasn't chasing him with all his might.
As it was flying towards it, the silhouette of a naked smart-man folding his hands in the lying fetal position flashes around the pebble for some reason and the words "Please hit him, HOLY THROW!" can be heard by the three life forms, the two monsters and smart-man himself.
He quickly becomes embarrassed.
"A naked man.." the monster said and shortly after was hit by the pebble, doing no damage whatsoever.
Smart-man forgot himself as he was holding his face in shame.
"How did that even happen......"
He didn't notice that the monster that was chasing him finally caught up and was about to grab Smart-man between his finger tips.
And he does.
"Aah, let me go, my man!"
"I'M NO MAN!!!!"
The beast shouts and tightens his grip.
Smart-man's air was pushed out his lungs and thus he can't even produce a sound from his voice anymore.
In this near death moment, he remembers his mother's words.
"If you are going away, I will follow you."
It's not only his life that's on the line.
He knew that all along.
He hoped that with his sacrifice, his mother would want to live to honor him, but after hearing those words again, his determination wavered and sway to something else.
"I have to live-man."
He stretches his body as far as manly possible and regains the ability to breath thanks to the gap he created between him and this fingers that are still trying to wring the life out of him.
"...hm? Where the splat?"
The monster asks himself and looks to his hand.
"What? OH COME ON! Give up, man. Just die already."
Smart-man snickers.
"Hehehe... not now... my time-man has not come just yet, monster-man.."
"I'M NO MAN!!!!"
His grip tightens once more and smart-man struggles to withstand the force of the hand.
Unbeknownst to smart-man, his sacrifice payed off.
The other guy that was hit by the holy throw was like hypnotized and couldn't keep his eyes off of his colleague, laughing at his emotional outbursts every time smart-man called him a man.
"Kek kek kek, what a shallow fellow, kek kek kek."
The monster supervisor person thing laughed.
Because of this, just a few meters next to the main chute of the bunker, the secret chute opened and everyone was able to stealthily sneak away.
No one looked, except random-man.
He saw as the monsters were trying to crush the smart-man, but he knows that if he would try to help, smart-man's sacrifice would have been for naught.
"I'm sorry, smart-man... you really were an smart-man... but more than that, a brave-man."
A tear rolls down his cheek and vanishes into the horizon while carrying smart-man's mother on his big and strong back.
Meanwhile.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
Smart-man felt his bones creak and starting to break.
Blood pours out every orifice.
His death was imminent.
Though he felt something strange.
"WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME?!"
The parts of smart-man's body that were touching the monster hand were slowly turning a disgusting green color.
At first it was faint but now its a clear toxic green.
An image flashes through his mind.
"Zombie?!"
"He is turning into a zombie-man."
Out of nowhere something came from somewhere.
A kick.
*blam*
The monster's hand falls off.
"what.."
"Are you alright, smart-man?"
"I-... Idiot-man?"
She gives him a peace sign and a cheeky smile.
- - -
"Narrator-man is explaining why we should look for smart-man."
"Yes you already did that twice. We don't need to hear it again, my man."
Basic-man was palming his face.
"But why? He disrespected my grandfather."
Idiot-man says.
"Narrator-man shall explain once more after all."
"Oh god no..."
"Narrator-man realizes that his explanation took a bit of time to explain so he decided that it would be better to shorten it with one sentence."
"Oh..?"
Basic-man stopped palming his face and his bodyguards disappear within the earth, taking the palm with them.
Narrator-man explains:
"It cause it an smart-man."
"OhH EhM JeE WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY THAT EARLIER?!?!?!?!"
Idiot-man realises now how important smart-man is.
It's cause he is smart-man.. apparently.
"There are monster-men outside-man though.. won't we men just die-men when we go outside-man?"
"Idiot-man was about to discover her power-men. The power-men that saved the great Narrator-man from the previous battle-man."
"Powers?"
"Due to her being idiot-man the world shall become idiotic-man too. She can win and beat the monster-men."
"Oh. What?"
In that moment basic-man got a call from underground and his bodyguard pops out and offers to let him take it off his hands.
"Thanks, bodyguard-man number 738383-man."
He takes the phone.
"Hello, it is I, them basic-man. Wassup my man?"
"The two other men in the room-man were patiently waiting for basic-man to finish his call-man."
"What about bodyguard-man? Isn't he also a man?"
"It is unknown-man if his bodyguard-men are actually men, or just shadow-men that he created somehow. He IS and adjective-man so maybe he doesn't realise-man it yet himself, man."
"Aha..."
Idiot-man didn't quite understand what was going on.
"Basic-man has power-men too?" She thought.
It finally dawned on her.
"All adjective-men must have power-men then!" She thought.
She was even more determined to find smart-man and other adjective-man to hopefully stop this senseless murdering of men.
"Basic-man finishes his call-man."
"Good news-men, my men, we found him."
"What?" They said together.
Idiot-man was confused again, but so was narrator-man.
"Hop in, men."
A limousin grows out of the ground.
"What?" They said together again.
Two bodyguards grow out of the ground behind the narrator-man and idiot-man and push them into the vehicle.
"WHAT!?"
"Let's go save him!"
"Uh, who?"
Idiot-man asked.
"Smart-man of course."
"Um... ok?"
Basic-man was pointing into a direction in front of them to the left.
"When I say now, jump out and use your strongest move-man, alright-man?"
"What?"
"Now!"
"WHAT?!?!"
The car door opens and Basic-man pushes her outside into the blackness of the earth underground, it was like an air pocket but it quickly closed all around her.
"Aaaahh I'm gonna become crushed-man!"
From the distance she hears basic-man's voice.
"ATTAcccckkkk...."
His voice faded as he was seemingly driving away.
"AAAHH WHATEVER!"
She swings her leg in a random direction.
*blam*
A big hand falls to the ground.
She realizes the open sky was above her once more and notices a man behind her.
"Smart-man!" She thought as she recognized him.
Seeing the fear in his eyes and his injuries, she puts on a brave face.
"Are you alright, smart-man?"
"I-... Idiot-man?"
Not sure how to react, she forces a smile on her face and gives a peace sign.
After this experience, idiot-man has earned the skill: "claustrophobia".
