Ruby and Jenny walk back to the SALT Diner with a lot of groceries on their hands. With all the grocery bags they are holding, it seems like they are about to hold a feast.
Gee, what’s with all the groceries that Tonio's asking us to get?
I know, right? It’s like he’s planning something big.
Suddenly, the ground shakes a couple of times, resembling an earthquake. Both Ruby and Jenny stop walking to try and balance the groceries, only for them to look ahead and find something else… something… giant.
Ahead of them waiting in front of the SALT Diner are the infamous duo of Spider and Crab.
Bbt kt... bbt kt bbt kt bbt kt. (Spider… I’m getting hungry.)
Bbt kt bbt kt b b v t k... bbt kt. (Me too… and the human has been gone for a while… I miss him.)
Oh, it was something big.
Quick! To the diner!
Jenny and Ruby run off to the diner with the groceries in hand. Inside they find something horrid. The diner is full. Every contestant wants something to eat!
Man, I’m pooped! And famished! Sure hope my food gets here soon.
Are you not a thief, ruffian? Can’t you simply steal the food and get it quicker?
Aww yeah, we’re totally gonna beat the world record this time, I know it…
Uhh… which world record, dude?
All of them.
Ain’tcha gonna help, geezer?
Oh, I am helping. I am helping by watching. It’s quite handy.
Man, that concert was rough. I need a drink to soothe my vocal cords…
What happened? We were only gone for a couple of minutes!
Girls! You’re back! Oh, Grazie a Cielo… I forgot to tell you this, but the diner is going to be full. We need all the help we can get.
Uh, will this count for community service hours?
Please, bring the food into the kitchen, quick!
Duane and Niko rush out of the kitchen to serve with a bunch of dishes in hand.
I've got spicy tamales and a couple of five guys burgers!
I have a large half pepperoni half banana pizza!
Banana?
Banana?
Banana?
Banana!
Ohhhh... bananas...
Duane and Niko go around the diner trying to deliver the food, but there is too much to deliver. Not to mention the big crab and spider waiting outside.
Mama mia… this is going to be difficult for Duane and Niko.
What is this confounded noise?!
Mi scusi, Skeletor, but the diner is-
Look out everyone, the life of the party is here! And I brought some hors d'oeuvres! Some of my famous hamburgers!
BWAGAAAAAAAAAAAAHH-!!
The diner erupts into even more chaos as Timmy dives for the hamburger in Joker's hands.
Very… busy.
Hmm… the diner can’t sustain itself in a state like this. It seems we have to call for backup.
Skeletor dials up a number on his flip phone (because he has one for some reason).
Hello? Yes, we need backup at the S.A.L.T diner... how long?... 40 minutes?! Can you shorten it?... An extra 10 dollars?... Gah, you people put a dent in my budget. Alright, consider it a deal.
From the distance, a train whistled in the background. Skeletor peeks outside of the diner and spots the source of the noise.
Inkoming! We are now arriving at the SALT Diner!
The train makes a full stop in front of the diner.
How can it operate without tracks?
Out from the train jumps 1010, the hottest robotic boy band in Vinyl City, comprised of five members:
Rin (White), Zimelu (Red), Purl-Hew (Blue), Haym (Yellow), and Eloni (Green).
OOOOOOOOOOOH YEAH~
Not to worry, Skeletor, 1010 is here to HEEEEELP YOUUUUU~!
Absolute silence from that astonishing display of style.
Just help the diner serve the food.
You got it! ATTENTION!
Do not worry, Neon J! We'll be sure to-
BRING THE HEEEEEAT!!
The door to the diner bursts open as everyone makes way for 1010. Of course, they pose stylishly and fabulously.
Oh, bene... more customers.
Incorrect! We're here to help, Mr. Trussardi. Now, you five… LET'S GET TO WORK!
ROGER~!
The five robots run over the diner and help with the food. They come out with platters in their hands, and always posing stylishly.
Phew, those guys seem pretty cool. Who are they?
Handsome...
Dreamy...
Sexy...
1010 rushes over to each table with food, and with blinding speed, they manage to serve every dish. Rin approaches the girls at the table.
And for you… a picture of me.
He shows the ladies a photograph of himself and drops it as the ladies watch in awe. In mere seconds, Ruby, Jenny, and Ibuki all dive towards it.
Mine! It’s gonna be mine!
No way! I’m the only other robot here!
Robot schmobot, you’ll never understand their music! It’s MINE!
Peacock watches as the girls devolve into chaos.
I get what yer talkin’ about, old man.
Yes... the ways of watching. Speaking of which, Peacock, how is it that you're not affected by the arcane power of boy-band idolization? The others are head over heels over him.
Those bozos? Puh-lease. Like I’d ever fall for a hunk of metal like that.
Oh, madame…
Peacock looks over to find Rin trying to catch her heart.
Perhaps you would like a dance, instead?
DAAAAANCE~!
Within seconds, Rin is launched across the diner. Everyone stares as the robot boy is reduced to circuits and scrap metal.
Try again, metal head! But I’m way too young for you. And I’m outta yer league, too!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Peacock! Why would you do that?!
What? He was askin’ fer it.
Oh, for crying out loud. Time to get the replicator again.
Neon J presses a button on his phone and a giant machine floats on top of the diner. The machine produces a copy of Rin and drops him down into the SALT Diner, breaking through the roof.
Baby, I'm electrifying~!
ELECTRIFYIIIIIIIING~!
You can do that?!
Lemme have 3! No, 4! No, all of them!
Dante rolls up to 1010 as they all stylishly pose together.
Those are some sick moves you got there. There’s only one problem, compadres...
Dante puts on a hat and a scarf and poses in a similar manner to Michael Jackson.
...Me.
Are you challenging us? Pah! We’re the hottest boy band in the world, and you think you can stop us alone?
I wouldn’t try it. Dante's one of the funkiest bros I know!
You must be out of your mind if you think you can take on someone like him.
Yeah dudes, Dante’s got some killer moves!
Well then, it seems like you won’t be backing down. You better arm yourself and bring us your best shot, soldier. Because 1010-
WILL TAKE YOU DOOOOOOOWN~!
The six of them prepare for a dance battle, possibly one of the most legendary dance battles in history.

CQ Cumber waits outside of the diner for the boys to finish their job. After a bit of tidying up on the train, he notices that the large crab nearby dons a sorrowful expression.
Hmm… how strange. Is everything alright, giant crab?
Bbt kt bbt kt?
(Who said that?)
Bbt kt bbt kt?
(Who said what?)
Down here, my crustaceous chum.
Crab looks down to find the tiny little sea cucumber waving hello with his little tentacle arms.
Bbt kt! B t bbt psh!
(Look, Spider! It’s a little slug!)
T t k?! Bmm byeww!
(A slug?! Oh boy, our food is here!)
Woah woah, slow down there. I’m not some type of food, I'm a friend!
Bbt kt, bbt kt bbt kt bbt kt bbt kt... bbt kt? (Wait, the small slug can understand us… how?)
Well, I’m no slug, but do I know beatboxing when I see it… especially since Pearl and that Cuttlefish have been trying it tirelessly in the subway.
Bbt kt, bbt kt... bsh t t kb bmm! (Wow, Spider… someone other than the human that can understand our language!)
Bwoh… bh k k t. (Human… I do miss him a lot.)
Bbt kt… (Yes…)
So, this human fellow… are you their pet?
Bbt kt, bbt kt bbt kt? (Spider, what’s a pet?)
B t t k! T k psh! (We’re no pet! We’re his family!)
Ah, so the bond between you and him must be special.
K t bwmm, duh psh k b erruh erruh bwoh. (Yes, but I’m beginning to think the human might have forgotten about us.)
I don't believe so.
Bbt kt? (What do you mean?)
Let me tell you a tale of two sisters. A story from my cuttlefish friend. First, bring me to eye level.
Crab lowers his arm allows CQ to get on top of the claw. As the crab lifts the small sea creature, he brings the little guy to eye level.
Long ago, a girl was separated from her sister and was mind-controlled to have her memories erased. But the other sister did not give up on her. She, with the help of family and friends, went through many trials to get her sister back. And soon enough, the both of them were reunited.
Bbt kt bbt kt? (What’s that got to do with us?)
Well, you treat each other like family, and true family would never forget each other. I’m sure your dear human hasn't simply forgotten about you two.
Just like that, Takumi’s car pulls up next to the duo. Takumi exits the car with some stuff inside.
Oi, Jerma! Your friends are outside.
Jerma hops out of Takumi’s car and waves his arms to accentuate the surprising nature of his arrival.
T t k boom psh! (Human! We thought you forgot about us!)
Like hell I'd ever forget you guys! I heard Takumi was out making deliveries and I decided go with him and grab some treats.
Crab swoops up Jerma with his claw and sets him down on top of Spider.
K t t psh! (Thank you so much!)
Erruh erruh bwoh. (I don’t know what we’d do without you.)
Jerma looks to his right to find the small blue creature sitting there with him.
I suppose you were keeping these two company?
Of course,though it seems they were put at ease just from seeing you. They must have some wonderful family on their side.
Jerma looks to the duo with a smile on his face.
Family, huh?
The doors to the diner open up as 1010 exit the premises.
Wow! That was-
FUN, FUN, FUUUUUN~!
Heh, gotta say, that was the biggest and best dance party I’ve ever had. You five have gotta teach me how you guys make the girls fall for you.
Sorry Dante, those skills only come NATURALLYYYY~!
The doors open once more to show Ruby, Jenny, and Ibuki rushing to bring 1010 back into the diner.
No, come back! I need you!!
Pleaaaaaaase, everyone wants you to stay!
No, we don’t.
I want you to stay!!!
I WANNA GO ON TOUR WITH YOU, I WANNA GO ON TOUR WITH YOUUUUUU-
Sorry ladies, we’d love to stay and chat, but it’s time for us to-
GOOOO~!
I think that’s our cue to leave.
Oh yeah, it's almost time for my stream, too.
B t t k psh bwmmm... (We’ll remember you, tiny slug friend...)
Hoho, I’ll keep you two in mind as well.
Crab puts CQ back in his train.
All aboard!
1010 and Neon J hop aboard the train and prepare to leave.
Yo, 1010! Gimme a heads up next time you visit. I’d love to have a dance-off again.
Likewise, Dante. Farewell to you all, and GOOD LUUUUCK~!
And just like that, the train magically runs off from the SALT Diner, another hectic day made easier.
