It was just as Karol was starting to remember his dojo for the beautiful memories that he had there spreading his love for kickboxing with the towns youth but when they entered the gardening store the beautiful memories were slowly crushed. For some reason Karol thought the dojo was one store to the right of there current location but seeing all of his mats on the ground of the gardening store was a little heartbreaking. 

It was lucky that the bandage was still fresh and didn't cause much pain at the moment. He looked around and to his delight he spotted more of the pine cones from earlier. He let out a slightly audible sigh and put his down for a second. When he raised his head back up he happened to look behind the collection of little rodents munching away on fertilizer, just what he wanted to see. They had been annoying enough without getting that little added boost which made him a little nervous since there wasn't really any way to get around them to get to the back of the store where was the materials that could get them out of the mall. 

He wished that they could make it to the back of the store first and than make fight with the monsters since it would give a slight advantage to use a weapon against them even if Karols most efficient striking method was his kickboxing. 

[color=red] Hey Spruce do you think that you formulate a distraction to get to the back of the store to get some equipment before having to fight these guys since it is pretty much inevitable for a fight to break out. [/color] 

If Spruce was witty enough to find Karol in this small down he must be able to formulate a good distraction.
