“You’ll be of no use, Vespertillus, once my new minion is released!” cackled The Twiddler.

“You’re insane, Twiddler!” cried Vespertillus, readying a gas grenade from his megabelt.

“Am I?” The Twiddler said. “Reserve all judgment until you see the fruits of my early-bird investment in GigantoCorp: an absolutely massive bat!”

From its hidden perch up above, the absolutely massive bat stirred, raining guano down upon the combatants below.

“Oh. Ew.” Vespertillus said.

“That’s just the beginning, Vesperterriblus!” shouted The Twiddler. “To my absolutely massive bat, you’re just an insect snack! It will devour you whole!”

The absolutely massive bat stirred again.

“Kill him!” The Twiddler barked.

Nothing.

“Wha…?”

“Foolish Twiddler,” Vespertillius said, hurling his gas grenade. “It’s two-thirty PM. This chonkster won’t be ready to eat for hours.”
