Prelude to the Nightmare Crown

Chapter 5: Incredible Shrinking Yama

The next day, Langstrom Krei was up early, having his breakfast. He was reading the morning paper, and soon he discovered this headline:

'''YAMA IN YOKOZUNA ASYLUM'''

Mr Yama, the same botfighter responsible for the battlebot invasion 3 days ago, has had his sentence announced - life imprisonment in Yokozuna Asylum. One of the jury people argued, "Maybe we shoulda sent Callaghan there!"

Langstrom found it rather humorous. but then grinned evilly. "Yama will be perfect for my plans as well." he said.

He called a guard in. "How are you progressing with that shrinking formula you've been working on?" he said. "We've just been perfecting it." the guard said.

"Excellent." Langstrom said. "Meet me in the lab in 10 minutes."

10 MINUTES LATER...

Langstrom was in the laboratory in his manor. The lab was as big as the same one in the San Fransokyo Institute of technology.

His chief scientists [which were the same guards, but wearing white lab coats] had been working on a shrinking formula, nicknaming it 'Thundersmall', the machine seen in [and the episode name] of the series finale of Special Agent Oso.

One guard prepared to test the formula. He got an old oil drum, and sprayed it with the formula, shrinking it down to the size of a tennis ball.

"Perfect. Now, I'm ready for Operation: Bot Breakout." He said. The guards were puzzled. "What's that, boss?" one guard asked. "You'll see." Langstrom said, with a smug look on his face. Then, he left the lab with the shrink formula in a bottle, and a ski mask, and a few other things.

He turned to another guard; the same one that tended to Callaghan. "You, Joseph, you're in charge till I get back." he said. "Make sure to tend to Robert as well." he added as he left.

Langstrom's limo soon pulled up outside the Yokozuna Asylum entrance. Langstrom Krei got out, looked at the entrance, took a deep breath, then went inside.

He went up to the desk inside the building. The man at the desk stared up from the computer he was on. "Can I help you, sir?" he asked.

Langstrom grinned, and then spoke. "I would like to see the prisoner called Yama."

The man checked on the computer. "Yama is currently busy getting his breakfast." Langstrom was disappointed, but grinned. "Would you mind running the desk for a bit? I need to use the restroom." the man said. "OK." Langstrom grinned.

He waited for the person at the desk to leave, then slipped into the desk, then spoke into the intercom. "Attention." he said. "Will the guard bringing Yama's breakfast report in here in a few minutes, please."

Almost a few minutes later, the guard with Yama's breakfast came into the reception area. he put the bowl of cereal on a nearby table. "What's going on?"

At that moment, a flash came in front of him, blinding him. "Huh?" Then he felt himself get zapped, then he fell unconscious.

It turned out Langstrom Krei was the one behind the aforementioned flash & zap. Langstrom Krei stuffed the unconscious guard into a nearby broom closet. Then, He turned to Yama's breakfast, and poured in some of the shrinking formula, then mixed it in.

Then, using a device, he became an exact double of the guard he stunned. "Not bad." he said to himself.

The disguised Langstrom picked up Yama's breakfast, then headed to Yama's cell, at the far end of the prison, which was designed like Magamind's cell in the Megamind movie, but with grey walls and steel floors.
