It was a rainy night in the Castle of Nations amusement park, Karl on his way to see the Castle of Nations himself. He stopped in his tracks, seeing the famous Castle before him.

"Hello! Hmm, I don't remember seeing you before..." Greeted Castle.

"We haven't met before, indeed. Hello, Castle of Nations." Karl greaated back, looking up at the building.

"You're from the pirate's island, aren't you? Well, Mister pirate—" He got caught off by Karl.

"Oh, no, no, no, don't presume things like that. I'm no pirate." Karl shook his finger in denial. "My name is Karl. Pleased to meet you."

"Karl? Huh, made in Germany?" Silence. "Just kidding, just kidding! So, why are you here" under this rain, Karl?" Asked Castle.

Karl began sitting down, resting a hand on his knee. "I just want to have a nice chit-chat. You see, a thought caught me on my way here." The pirate in denial explained. "I was wondering what kind of deal you have with the humans."

"Deal? O.Ô" Repeated Castle.

"Oh, you know, what makes you stand here motionless and left them wander around freely doing whatever they want."

"Now, why wouldn't I?" Questioned Castle, not getting his point one bit.

"Don't you think that's a little unfair?" Answered Karl, "We have to stay still, while watching them walk around and leave, and then come back, and leaving again..."

"I don't know if I get your point..."

"The point is: why can't we do the same?"

"Karl, you know we can't live among humans. They'll never tolerate us. It's part of their nature... What would you want me to do?" Castle reminded him.

"I don't know. Kill them all?"

"Heheh. That would be a bit too drastic..."

"... As much as it needs to be." Karl mumbled to himself. Castle let out a noise of surprise noticing something.

"Is that blood inside your broken arm?" Exclaimed Castle.

Karl raised his arm to look at the said-blood.
"Oh? Deary me, and here I thought the rain had already done its job..."

"Good eyes! Or... Windows, for that matter."

Silence.

"... :| What have you done?"

"... O Fortuna... I wasn't aware of that... When he was taken to the... cemetery... So you think... That if he left the park..." Jackie thought out-loud.

"He found an opportunity. Or is on a killing rampage. Or... well, both. Be careful, Jack." Said Castle.
______________________________________

"... Or course... When... I accepted this task... I had no idea what I was going to face... I've never really been out of the park..." Realized Jackie. Chimbley was still knocked-out cold, and laying on the warm ground of the Taitle.

"Is he going to be okay, Mister Jack? He-he doesn't look okay! Can I do something?" Exclaimed Climber, worried for his... friend.

"... We can't do much for him, Climber... The best to do would... Talk to a city's authority... and send him to a hospital..."

"And what about our... our mission?" Their conversation ended, seeing green lights far away.

"Hello again, you two. How are you today?" Margarine greeted.

"Good, good. What about you two? Tired?"

"Tired?" Repeated Rachel.

"From running away from me every night in my dreams?" Karl did a closed-eye smile.
That caught Rachel off guard, but she smiled at him remembering one thing.

"Tee-hee. Silly, you don't sleep."

"And I never knew you, until now." Margarine added.

"Just trying to create a mood here."

"All covered in blood?"

".... Good point, but i'll do it later. [NAME] over here can't handle the sun." He looked at you, curious on what you were doing.

You and Margarine were just goofing around, reliving your childhood. Karl unconsciously sighs in content, causing Rachel to raise an eyebrow in confusion. She realized what was happening and set it aside; this was your moment.

"Now I can say I'm the one surprised this time. Won't you try to harm me?" Teased Rachel, holding her violin closely.

"The idea of throwing a whole room at you did cross my mind..." Admitted Karl, "...But you're not really her, are you?" Rachel only stared at him with a soft smile on her face.

Chimbley slowly regained his consciousness, opening his eyes to be met with a... rather familiar mannequin.

'Wot? This guy again?! Could I...' Thought the orphan, 'Could I 'ave won the tourney, made my wish, an' now I'm back to 'at bloody asylum?'

His positive thought caused him to sit up.

"NO WAI!"

His excitement ended shortly, seeing the mob of robots infront of him. They all had different reaction.

"There's more coming..." Stated Climber. "T-there's a lot more coming..." Climber was worried that they wouldn't be able to hold them off.

"... O.... fort..." Mr.Jack was kinda dissapointed that his once simple plan became more complex.

"See? SEE?! Just like 'at toime!" Chimbley was annoyed that he has more things to face. He's an orphan, give him a break.

"I'm sorry having no real form, I had no choice but search your memories." Stated Rachel, answering Karl's question.

"Didn't your mother ever tell you it's impolite to enter someone else's head?" Teased Karl, a hand on his hips while he leans slightly forward, squinting his eye. That question made the other giggle, putting a hand over her mouth.

"I've been looking for you, Karl." Rachel tilted her head once more, still keeping her soft smile.

"Ooh, likewise. In fact, I've been looking for you two since the contest started." Said Karl as a matter of fact, before judgingly pointing at Rachel.

"... So why only now you guys decide to show yourselves with... with this borrowed faces!"

"But we've already showed ourselves, and Margarines is herself, just a hologram."

"Don't change subject!"

"You must understand. A big event needs a careful preparation." Explained Rachel, tracing her finger on her violin.

Suddenly, a loud noise could be heard, cutting off their and your conversation. You looked far to see some type of arm coming out of the floor?

"We'll have a concert today." Stated Rachel, as Karl was staring at the said hand. "How about being our main musician, Karl?"

Mr.Jack sighs, staring at the mob of robots.

"... Climber, go find Karl.... I'll stay here... And cover you...", ordered Jackie.

"WHAT?! Mister Jack, are you sure? C-can't we just run away?" Asked Climber, worried about the consequences.

"... They're heading to the same destination as us... and may possibly have similar intentions... I think... confrontation is... inevitable..." Explained Jack while Chimbly was next to him, his expression showing he was not impressed.

"B-but..." suddenly, the headless dragon gives Climber his signature pickaxe.

"... You can have your weapon now... By the way... Although I was hoping it wouldn't be necessary..."

"It's okay. I just— uhm... Are you sure we should do this? i-i mean..." Questioned Climner, already on the dragon. "I don't know if I... if I can fight..." He turned away. Derippe smiled at the mannequin, trying to ease the other's worries.

"... Just do your best. I'm sure that's quite enough..." Comforted Jack.

"..."

"I'll... catch you up in a minute..." Jack kept smiling, while chimbley just stared at Climber with... empathy. Because he'll have to face him.

Jack faced Chimbley, still having his smile, "...What about... you?"

"I'M DONE WIF FLYIN', AND I'M NAT FACIN' 'EM EVAH AGAIN!"

"Them?" Repeated Jack.

"YEAH! Along de 'Resin' bloke, 'ere was sum... Flyin' robot thing that has claws! CLAWS!" Chimbley waved his arms in the air mentioning your claws.

"Oh... Then... if you plan on staying... I... suggest holding into something..."

The dragon began flying, Climber giving them one last glance before looking forward.

Now, the green robot army were close. Jack leaned down, his arm reaching for the ground.

"... Hmm... the streets are... made of cobblestone... Good thing this city's old... Asphalt would make my work harder..." Noted Jackie. Then, his old hand rose, reaching forward, before pointing at the army.

"It's done. Now off to the final job..." He looked further away.
"Ffff, i'm going to die..."

Cracks could be heard as the old streets of the taitle opened up, stopping the robots. This caused one of the spider looking ones to loose it's balance, falling over.

Jack's attack caused a bit of his hat to crack as he groaned.

"Wot the bloody." Muttered Chimbly, his head dizzy.

"... Oh, you see... Expanding my... energy to a nearby area... requires a lot... of concentration... so... My aim is not exactly accurat—" He got cut off by Chimbly grabbing him.

"Roight, roight, I didn't meant you t' explain, keep doin' your magical terrorism trick..."

A larger robot arose from the ground, thus silencing the two. But fortunately, something hit the giant, breaking it.

"'At was a good one, guv." Complimented Chimbley.

"... But... it wasn't me..." they both turned around, seeing the Kiwiblitz™ trio, including Steffi, Benzene and employee girl.

"Who shoots like a girl, now?" Commented Steffi, referencing her battle with You and Karl.

"Hey there. Sorry for the delay, we had some... technical issues." Excused Benzene with his usual calm tone.

"Look! I brought sandwiches!" Exclaimed Employee girl, waving one of the said sandwich around.

Chimbley and Mr.Jack were both quiet. Until Jack whispered to chimbley.
"... Frieeeends of... yours?"

"During all this time, we've been trapped in this city, compressed by it's limits and exploited by its citizens. Now, we can finally have a chance to be free. See, Karl?" Rachel stood in her tippy toes, so she could stare at Karl better.

"We are in the same situation. We have the same wish. So let's do this together." Karl went quiet for a couple of seconds. Yes, he did want to, but he already held that promise with you. After... That small moment, he made sure that the both of will be free, and together. But his thought was caught short after 'Rachel' extended her arms, showing the violin.

"Don't you want to play the violin with me again?"

Karl stated at the violin before his signature smile came back on his face.
"Deary me, you energy sources are all the same, haha! Although you're a bit more ambitious... and I already held that promise with someone else..." He muttered the last part to himself, yet 'Rachel' heard it. But she stayed quiet.

"But I won't be your tool, Law of Talos. Being a material shell for you to win this tournament isn't part of my plan." Reasonned the resin statue.

Rachel raised an arm to her chest.
"You're being too drastic. But then again, I guess that's a personality disorder..."

That comment annoyed Karl. He tightens his fists, as if to hold himself back.

"... I can't really kill you, can I?"

Rachel looked to the sides, staring at you and Margarine.
"It's okay, after all... Your energy will run out in a few hours... I'm sure your solo will be a great addition to the performance, Karl."

Karl only stared at 'Rachel' in disbelief. He stared at you. That means... He turns back to Rachel. A few hours? These three words were repeated inside of his head multiple times.

Rachel turned away, Margarine doing the same. Before going away, Rachel turn to Karl.

"By the way... You forgot a spot on your cheek." She remarked, before going...somewhere.

Your walked towards Karl, your hand behind your head.

"So... What were you talking about, hmm?" You asked, while Karl wiped the blood off of his cheek.

Instead of answering, Karl yelled out:

"CURSE THIS DEPENDENCY OF YOU AND YOUR CURSED POWERS!"

"... I don't know what dependency means but... Yeah what you said, even thought I dok't know the context!?" Your voiced raised, as you noticed the huge air Ballon thing behind you.

"His name is Karl?" Asked Steffi. "For a complete asshole, he has a nice name. But what about the half robot half human person?"

"... That's the problem... We don't know... Who the other... Person is... But... I apologize... what happened was... incidentally my fault..." Said Jack, sad that kids had to face him.

"Meh, If you're really here to stop them, that's all that matters to us." Reasonned Benzene.

"... You children are... very brave..." Complimented Jack.

"You can blame Steffi's ego."

They were too busy talking, they didn't notice they were being stalked.

"Mistress... should we go and approach?"

"Negative."

"Roger that."

One of the dolls, who ressembled to a bunny in a mummy costume, let out a 'meh?' Seeing the once broken mod of robots glowing, slowly ascending. In the center, there was a gray (?) haired girl known as Lilith, ready to battle her next opponent, which happens to be Euria.

"What!?" Exclaimed Steffi, "They're rearranging themselves!"

"...Is that... a girl?" Asked Derippe, not noticing Euria next to the new Kiwibot.

"Let's get this done with." Said Euria.

"!?"

'The seal is almost complete... Do not fail, Euria.'
