[ Lou, Omochao, and Navi continue to pick away at the locked door to Skeletor’s room. Lou is trying to get the door open, but his hands are not built for dexterous tasks like this. The Top Tutorialists watch nervously behind him, with Omochao looking back and forth between the hallway and Lou’s picking. ]
Not to put you in a rush, Mr. Albano, but can’t you do it any faster?
I’m trying to do the best I can, little fairy. My big hands ain’t the type of hands you need for this kind of job. You need hands like Lupin’s. Plus… I feel kinda dirty doin’ this.
The world is at stake! Morals have been thrown out the window!
[ Suddenly, the door makes a tick sound, and Lou slowly pushes it open. ]
Alright, you two go ahead… it’d be too risky if I were to go in there. There might be all kinds of floor traps and doodads that I could step on.
We’ll be back before you know it!
[ Navi and Omochao investigate Skeletor’s room, trying to find the security lock that Okabe was talking about. They search the room, but they get distracted as they find out that the room is cartoonishly decorated. A throne to sit on with a glorious skull adjusted on the top, wicked magicks and books scattered about, and a bulletin board with “Evil Plans” spelled in sticky notes stuck on the top. ]
Gee… I didn’t know our perpetrator could be such a huge dork.
Not now, Navi! We have to find the security lock.
[ Navi heads to the bulletin board to find scattered notes of a specific skull. Its form is wispy, and its color is an inky black. Blue embers surround the skull, giving a creepy and disturbing feeling towards Navi. She takes a gander at the notes, but a lot of the words are just scribbles on paper. Some specific words and phrases can be pointed out, like “musician” and “a girl’s wish.” ]
I’m getting a terrible feeling from all of this.
[ Omochao also scavenges the room, and manages to find a blinking red light hidden behind the air vent. He squeezes through and finds that the blinking light is a red button. ]
Normally, pressing buttons like these would be a bad omen… but this is the best that we could do.
[ Omochao presses the button and there’s a sudden noise coming from Skeletor’s room. Omochao returns to the main room to find that the bulletin board that Navi was looking at, as well as everything else surrounding it, transformed into a magic portal. ]
Woah…
Hey! Next time you press stuff, you WARN me first.
Oops! Sorry… Anyway, we should tell Lou to come in here, I don’t think there are any traps around that would set off. I don’t even think the security system is in here.
Good idea, if it’s not in here, it’s probably in this warp hole.
[ Omochao gets Lou’s attention and the two contestants stare at the portal for a bit. They then look at each other, nodding in solidarity, and enter the portal. ]
------------------------------------------------------------------
[ Upon entering, they find that the portal leads to a room that is a lot chillier than normal. They look around to find that it’s pretty dim, with a faint blue glow coming from the other side. ]
This place is giving me the heebie jeebies… I don’t think we should stay here for too long.
Well, we have the Warp Whistle. As long as we have that, we can get back to the diner safe and sound! Besides, we have to find that security lock.
Well then, paisanos? Let’s-a-go lookin’ for the security.
[ They try to find any sign of security, but instead… they find a horrifying sight. It wasn’t the fox and knight that Lou fought with the Add-Ons… it wasn’t the eldritch horror that tried to capture Top Tutorialists and Peacock… no. It was… Ibuki. Mid-transformation. ]
I-Ibuki?
Wh… what have they done to you, my poor girl?
Wait… that bulletin board. This is-
The Skull Heart.
[ Suddenly, Skeletor appears with Tankman at his side. They seem to be ready to restrain and capture. ]
Rather rude of you to enter my abode so crudely.
Yeah… I usually ask their name before-
ENOUGH with the innuendos.
Sorry.
I guess it was only a matter of time before you found out what I was trying to do. That lousy scientist and his premonitions would’ve gotten in the way. Unfortunately for you, the security system you were talking about alerts me as soon as something steps into my room. I knew you were coming as soon as the little fairy and robot decided to fly in. But now that you’re here… I’d like your thoughts on my new project.
You’re a monster!
Flattery will get you nowhere! For you see… the plan is already set in motion. Poor, poor Ibuki. She had no idea what was going to happen to her. Of course, I needed a woman with a pure heart to help me achieve my goal of world domination. Through my scavenging across the multiverse… I found this young musician. And what better way to lure her in than running a musical tournament.
Let her go! Now!
Oh you’re so worried about her… you should be more worried about your other friends.
[ Skeletor steps aside and brings forth a magical cage that holds Lupin, Takumi, and Lord Raptor. He then brings forth another cage with just Pyro in it. ]
… Why is Pyro in a different cage?
He gets too angry, it wouldn’t be as dramatic if the rest of the captured were burnt into a crisp.
MMPH MMPH MMPH! MMPH MMPH MMPH MMPH MMPH MMPH! (I don’t think you want this translated.)
I’ll tell you what! Let us outta this weird contraption and we’ll kick the boogers out of you!
Really? That was the best one you could come up with?
You’re lucky my head is the only thing thawed out of this ice! It would’ve been over for every single one of you if the rest of me could get out!
You have a great deal of options. You could join your friends among the captured. You can try and fight, but I highly recommend you don’t. Or you could leave… and never return.
[ Lou and the Tutorialists seem to be stuck in time, not sure what to do. It was all until Omochao spotted Lupin pointing at the purple orb on Skeletor’s staff. Omochao then devised a plan. ]
Hey Mr. Albano… could you take one deep breath for me?
For what?
Trust me.
[ Lou, hesitantly, closes his eyes and takes a deep inhale. Upon exhaling however, he finds that his mouth has connected to a flute and Omochao played the right notes to play the tune needed to activate the warp whistle. A tornado begins swirling around inside the room, causing strong winds to harass Tankman, but Skeletor continues to stay unmoving. ]
Navi! Distract them!
Are you crazy?!
Just do it!
[ Navi then begins to fly around Tankman and Skeletor in their faces. Tankman tries to swat around to catch Navi, while Skeletor just stands there, watching the fairy’s movements. It was just at that moment, from the cage, Lupin then adjusts his watch so a sharp grappling hook tries to attack the orb on Skeletor’s staff, but it fails as Skeletor grabs the grappling hook before it makes contact. ]
Did you honestly think that would work?
Au contraire… it DID!
[ Skeletor looks back at Lupin confused, but Omochao has already smacked the orb off of the scepter and it shatters as it falls. Skeletor realizes way too late and swats Omochao away. ]
Cursed thief! THE SEEING ORB!
[ The tornado then swirls around Lou and begins to pick him up into the air. ]
Hey! Where’s this thing takin’ me!
Don’t worry Mr. Albano, you’re being taken back to the diner! Once you’re back, tell everyone that the security system is officially broken.
But-
Don’t worry about us, Mr. Albano. We’ll be just-
[ Tankman then puts Omochao in a jar with Navi also trapped along with him. ]
That’s a dirty trick there, sprites… I like it. But I don’t think you’re gonna like what comes afterward.
[ Tankman begins shaking the jar furiously, and Lou gets taken away by the tornado. Skeletor then grunts in frustration, but quickly notices that the glow from Ibuki is getting stronger and stronger. ]
Hmph… a minor setback. We’re almost there… and the entire multiverse will be in my hands! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
