The Landsharks team made their way back to Epcot after losing SwinginEvilMike during the last challenge. Everyone seemed in a solemn mood with their heads bowed in honor of their fallen comrade. All that is except the Evil Mime, WVRevy. Somewhere in his subconscious he felt the need to entertain and cheer up his teammates. WVRevy was under the delusion that people actually thought mimes were cool and entertaining. Of course he also thought West Virginia was the center of the universe. Perhaps all of the falls he was taking in this adventure were beginning to take their toll on him. The team was making their way towards the World Showcase trying to determine what their next move would be. Leading this team was our intrepid mime. EpcotKilterFan was the first to notice that the team was not going anywhere. They appeared to be standing in the same place for the past half hour. BeautyLLM went to the front to see what was the problem. There was WVRevy walking against the wind but making no headway. This of course infuriated Beauty to the point that she took her crutch and whacked the mime directly across the back of his head toppling the boy 15 feet across the pathway. After rubbing the back of his head and picking himself up, he began trying to find his way out of an invisible box. Well, that was just about the last thing Mean Laureen wanted to see. She reached over and yanked a torch away from along the Tapestry of Nations parade route. Reaching into her pocket, she pulled a can of Frizz-eze. With the torch in one hand and her aerosol can in the other, Mean Laureen pressed down on the top of the can releasing its contents. The mist hit the flame and burst into a fireball. WVRevys eyes were as large as WDW Pin Trading Pins as he saw the flames moving towards him. Before he could move, he was engulfed in fire melting his mime make-up into a molten blob. He eyebrows were singed off and he began to yelp like a puppy trying to get away from the heat. While this was going on, a dark figure emerged from the parade crowd wearing an Eeyore Autumn pin. Mean Laureen saw him and turned her hair spray turned flamethrower towards the dark figure. Before the figure could vanish, the flames caught onto the dark cape setting them ablaze. WVRevy was screaming and running in circles while the dark figure turned human torch was running in an opposite direction. The team had to make a choice. Do they save their melting teammate or go after the dark figure. Well, there really was no choice. They immediately ran after the dark figure. WVRevy stood there smoking, literally. He should have remembered Stop, Drop, and Roll. Instead, he Screamed, Yelled, and Fell. Fortunately for him, he fell directly into World Showcase Lagoon. Unfortunately, the flames hitting the water brought about a huge steam cloud that engulfed the park thereby eliminating any chance the team had of seeing the flaming dark figure. Dejected, the team decided to come back and either help the mime or finish him off. Only time would tell.
