Multidimensional Surge 2's Chapter 14: Unhealed Scars
*Note: Cuddly, Gluesome, Cubbonyan and MS Keisuke all belong to Bearlywrote.
Bao En and Jorogumo had ended up together in the Multidimensional Surge AU, where they met Bearly Cuddly and his group. Right now, they are being scruntinized by the group, especially Cuddly.
Cuddly: Are you here to reclaim your hostage?! (glares at Jorogumo and Bao En)
Gluesome: (at the same time) I haven't met this one either, Kumaii. Who are they?
Jorogumo: (doesn't take to it lightly) All right, Sir. First of all, that was a LONG time ago. Second of all, you do not use that tone with a lady!
Bao En: (is watching it like a table tennis match)
Cuddly: (begins rambling) You don't even know how he felt about finally getting something that could cut your webs! He was made to scream in horror as he went through the trial lake and he was literally trapped in a room with water pouring in! The real annoying thing is that there was too much Micchy in those episodes...
MS Keisuke: You went off topic, Cuddly.
Cuddly: I was annoyed by it!
Jorogumo: (puts her hands on her hips) For your information, I've repented thanks to Aruke-san, so THERE!
Cuddly: (scratches his forehead in frustration) Ugh... How does that guy handle all these people?
Gluesome: (walks over to them) Erm excuse me, are you guys here for Kei?
Bao En: (blinks) Erm... Nope... Actually, I highly doubt that your Keisuke is Jorogumo's Keisuke.
Jorogumo: (looks at them more closely after hearing that) Wait, you're right! (slaps her forehead slightly) I just saw Keisuke a few minutes ago! How can he be here without a portal around?
Cuddly: (realises his mistake) Oh that! I'm sorry for that. I forgot that you're on the good side now.
Jorogumo: (shakes her head) No, I should be the one saying sorry.
MS Keisuke: (feels less scared of her) If you're okay with that, then I forgive you, Jorogumo.
Jorogumo: (smiles) Thanks.
MS Keisuke: (then gets a ring coming from his bag, answers it)
It's a call from a friend who's under the name "Bear Cub".
MS Keisuke: Hello?
Cubbonyan: Hello Keisuke. We haven't met in the flesh but I'm Cubbonyan.
MS Keisuke: Hi, Cubbonyan. Why are you calling us?
Cubbonyan: It's Aruke, he's in trouble!
All: WHAT?!
The opening begins.
*Note: It ends at 1:30.
(The music starts playing as Natsume Amano turns into Shuka's awakened form, then Akino Kin opens up the game system as Ryaku Mizuya opens up his Magical Gates and Young Aruke Kin activates the Nature power.)

(Everyone is smiling for a camera, and it goes CLICK! Then the title of the story is stamped on the picture.)
Episode 4: Multidimensional Surge 2's Chapter 14: Unhealed Scars
Jorogumo and Bao En both go on guard the moment they hear that name come out from the phone. Cuddly, MS Keisuke and Gluesome are shocked to hear that from Cubbonyan.
Bao En: (shocked) How do you know Aruke-sshi?!
Jorogumo: What happened?
Cubbonyan: There was a sudden attack on our adventure by a girl who said that she was going to harm him! Then I learnt that she kidnapped him!
Jorogumo: (frowns, then eyes widen) Wait, hold on, could this be connected to the book burning case all over the world?
Bao En: That must have weakened Aruke-sshi enough for someone to kidnap him!
Gluesome: Book burning?
Jorogumo: (looks at them) In our world, someone's been burning books all over the world.
Gluesome: I see!
Cuddly: This is ridiculous, we were on our way back to our adventure, but it looks like we have another adventure we have to join to save it.
Bao En: Wait, you're going to help us?!
MS Keisuke: Well, yeah!
Jorogumo: Thanks!
MS Keisuke: No problem!
Cuddly: But anyway, I'm Bearlynyan. My Shadowside is Bearly Cuddly, which is the form I am using right now. I'm on a mission to awaken the lost souls who are blinded by others who don't see potential in them. Aruke and I are friends since he helped me out with a few things.
Gluesome: I'm Gluesome. I'm just an overpowered slime Youkai who was once a battle brawling YouTuber, but quickly changed when I woke up in a different world!.
Bao En: (smiles a bit) I'm Sae Bao En. I'm a Light Enchanter, a person who is entrusted to keep the magical balance safe using the Libra Stabiliser. I know Aruke-sshi because he used to be my friends' headmaster who brought them together.
Cubbonyan: (is still on) I'm Cubbonyan. I was created the same way as Junior, but with two other nyans. I was tasked with bringing Keisuke's father and his old friend who used to see Youkai into our adventure. Anyway, my mom said that Aruke is very important, and that it's up to the others who are close to him.
Jorogumo: (nods, but looks worried) I see. But what happened to him?
Cubbonyan: My mom said that the mysterious girl's name is Karan Kenyu. She kidnapped Aruke in Gravity Falls.
Bao En: (jaws drop) Kenyu Karan?!
MS Keisuke: Who's she?
Bao En: (is shaking in disbelief) Kenyu was one of my friends' classmates who tried to get an ancient power using another friend of mine. She was arrested, though.
Cuddly: (is shocked) Oh my God. This went beyond us the moment you explained her.
Bao En: (nods) I guess you can say that.
Gluesome: Shall we go to Gravity Falls to find them?
Cuddly: I don't think it's possible. I don't know what Kenyu looks like. However, I DO know what our friend looks like.
Jorogumo: (nods) True. But who's your friend?
Cuddly: I meant Aruke.
Jorogumo: Oh. (blushes) Sorry.
MS Keisuke: Well, let's go there! I haven't been in that world yet!
Cuddly: Yeah you haven't, but there's going to be so much weirdness in one place, so you might regret it soon.
Bao En: (nods) I've watched the series. It's...... Weird, to say the least.
Gluesome: (jumps) Whether it's good weird or bad weird, I must go there because I like the series.
Jorogumo: (blinks) How weird?
Bao En: (thinks about it) Gnomes, zombies, mind demons...
Gluesome: Ghosts, minotaurs, time travellers, mermaids, aliens, a shape-shifting monster, secret societies...
MS Keisuke: That's.... Cool.... (gulps)
Bao En: (frowns) There's a lot. But no Youkai.
Cuddly: (thinks aloud) It's going to be a long while before I can get back to the mission.
Jorogumo: A-Ah... (looks worried)
Cuddly: I hope they won't mind us anyway. The only humans are Keisuke and Bao En.
Bao En: (nods) True.
Gluesome: Well don't forget me! (turns into his human form, grabs his bag as they prepare for the next world)
Jorogumo: None of us have bags or clothes.... I hate portals.
Cuddly: Maybe I can help.
Jorogumo: (blinks) Really?
Cuddly: Sure. I'm still part cat, so I always land on my feet.
Jorogumo: (nods in understanding) Oh...
Bao En: Let's get some clothes in the Mystery Shack.
MS Keisuke: Okay then.
Jorogumo: (thinks) But why would anyone kidnap Aruke-san? Wouldn't killing him off be much more easier?
Cuddly: I bet she wants something from all of us who are connected with the current Fate Changer!
Bao En: (tilts her head) I don't know.... I think Aruke-sshi mentioned that he had a champion.
Gluesome: (tilts his head too) A champion? Bearlywrote, Cubbonyan, Bakunyan and Cuddly do have, like one or two champions each. I guess it makes sense that since they're pseudo-Fate Changers, Aruke would have one too.
Bao En: (nods) A Fate Changer's champion is strong. However, we may never know who it is, because Aruke-sshi once mentioned that his champion is an actor.
Cuddly: (optimistic) We'll find him for sure!
Bao En: (smiles seeing his tone) Yeah, you're right.
Jorogumo: (is thinking) Hm...
MS Keisuke: (notices her) What are you thinking about?
Jorogumo: (blinks in confusion before she rubs the back of her neck) A-Ah... I guess you noticed....
MS Keisuke: Don't worry about all this. Just remember that we've got your back! That's what my friend said, after all!
Jorogumo: (smiles a bit) Yeah, I know that. It's just that Cuddly's comment hit a bit too close to home.
MS Keisuke: (smiles) Well, to be honest, I DO miss home. I miss my mom, dad, and Neechan. I was supposed to meet Touma and Akinori, but the whole Isekai thing really backfired that plot. I won't be able to see Ken-chan this time, but Cuddly reminds me of him, which comforts me.
Jorugumo: (nods) I know.
MS Keisuke: If I grow stronger and conquer my fears, I might be able to protect them. I guess that's why I was sent away from my world. To show me a better definition of courage and meet friends who are wiling to find strength too. I wish they would let the plot be like that.
Jorogumo: (smiles sadly) However, that's not happening. I mean, look at me. No one wanted to give me a second chance. Everyone, even the fans, thought, 'Let's not write about Jorogumo. She's too horrible. She should be left to the dumps.'
MS Keisuke: I know. I would have been in the same spot as you. Many people say that I'm pretty annoying, and that I'm like this tall guy with a green shirt who is frightened by ghosts or the dog who acts the same. I mean, I saw fanart of the Agency as the Scooby-Doo cast, where I was dressed as the dog... (shivers)
Jorogumo: (shivers) No one cares for our backstories, honestly. Level 5 never lets us explain anything. They just throw us to the dead list.
MS Keisuke: Heh, they even ignore the complaints from the show and keep the bad Youkai as they are! Every time I walk past the Oden stand, I hear complaints about how Level 5 isn't doing a great job with their characters. Honestly, it's not that they're ignoring the problems. They want to change. You and I want to change, but they only changed Touma in the movie which is not cool!
Jorogumo: (nods, then sighs) To be honest, I still feel regret over what happened before.
MS Keisuke: It's okay. Aruke accepted you, and Cuddly accepted me, so there is a chance that all of us can get accepted.
Jorogumo: (nods, but eyes still hold guilt)
Gluesome: (notices this, sees the development growing in MS Keisuke) (thinks: It has already grown to half the development we need, but there is still time. Kei, my friend, you're getting stronger.)
Cuddly: We're ready guys. (interrupts their conversation) We're ready.
Jorogumo: (turns away abruptly) All right, let's go!
Bao En: (is groaning) I wish I had a teleporting magic, but oh well. Gotta make use of what's there.
Cuddly: (uses his axe to create a large hole that will lead them to Gravity Falls by transforming it into a pen)
Jorogumo: (fakes a smile) Come on, guys! Let's go!
All: OH!
The portal appeared above the road, but luckily, Cuddly grabbed them and landed on his feet.
Cuddly: There, that should do it.
Gluesome: How is he so skilful to the point of having two legs that are not broken from his AND at least 4 others' weight?
Bao En: (shrugs) You should see Kai. That guy can do that 20 times.
Jorogumo: (eyes widen in disbelief) Cool.
MS Keisuke: (notices how average the town is) Are you sure this is the place Cuddly? This looks like a small town somewhere in the USA.
Bao En: (snickers) You sure?
Then, they see a guy walking strangely until he trips. Several gnomes fall out.
Gnome: Ouch, this is an odd day... You better not screw that up again!
The gnomes hastily join up again and cover themselves with the clothes before they walk through the town.
Cuddly: I recognise those gnomes, so we're at the right place.
Bao En: (nods in agreement)
Gluesome: We should probably start looking for Kenyu Karan. We can start by asking everyone about her whereabouts.
Bao En: Yeah.
Jorogumo: Hm... Maybe we can try splitting up.
Cuddly: We can do that.
Bao En: (looks at the group) How many do we have?
Cuddly: Five.
Bao En: I'll go with Keisuke and Gluesome then.
Cuddly: Okay, so it's just you and me Jorogumo!
Jorogumo: (nods) A-Ah...
Gluesome: We'll be okay, big guy! You can count on us!
Jorogumo: (smiles) I suppose so.
Bao En: (looks at Gluesome and MS Keisuke) Let's go then.
Gluesome, MS Keisuke: Ah.
They soon separated to search of the vile woman and the kidnapped Fate Changer.
Cuddly: (is asking Pacifica) Have you heard or seen a girl by the name of Kenyu Karan?
Pacifica: (looks at them, blinks for a while) What does she look like?
Cuddly: (is trying hard to remember what Bao En and Cubbonyan said she looked like) Umm well, she's with a guy with a brown shirt, and my friend said that she's wearing a black dress.
Jorogumo: (blinks) But isn't she a Japanese-looking girl with brown hair, brown eyes, a black shirt and blue jeans?
Cuddly: Oh yeah, I must have missed that part, so yeah she's Japanese. She's not someone we're about to confront. We just want to ask her a few questions.
Pacifica: (frowns) I see. Maybe you can ask Gideon.
Cuddly: Oh, him. He might be able to give us answers. (growls as he tries to be a gentle-to-humans bad cop) If he wants me to bring his crush over, though, my fist will give him a straight answer.
Pacifica: (laughs) I like your humour, so sure! I'll take you to him.
Jorogumo: (smiles) Thanks.
Pacifica: (grins) No problem. Pacifica Northwest at your service.
Cuddly: I'm Cuddly. I may seem frightening, but I'm great with kids.
Jorogumo: (waves meekly) I'm Jorogumo. I used to eat kids.
Pacifica: (blinks) ... Huh.
Cuddly: You don't have to say that. Besides, you don't eat handsome men anymore.
Jorogumo: (sighs) It was just a heads-up.
Pacifica: (senses the mood darkening, quickly changes the topic) Let's go. Gideon should be at the park.
Cuddly: Come on, Spider-woman, we've got to save the day! (cracks a smile)
Jorogumo: (giggles) You're quite the funny guy.
Cuddly: Thanks. You're pretty great too.
Jorogumo: (blushes) I don't get those compliments often.
Cuddly: Me neither. I was locked away for thirty years by Enma's rule until Kaira took over. I've never made any new friends from that time.
Jorogumo: (eyes widen) O-Oh... (shakes head) That reminds me of myself before I went crazy and started eating men.
Cuddly: I was just imprisoned in place of my boss who disappeared. What happened back then?
Jorogumo: (thin smile) Well... I wasn't born a Youkai, you see.
Cuddly: You were a human before?
Jorogumo: (nods) I was a girl living a simple life in a simple village.
Cuddly: Did something terrible happen before you became a Youkai?
Jorogumo: I... I was a holder of the Nature magic... B-But then I was put on trial and accused of using my powers to attack others... (looks away) But it was the manifestation of the Nature magic's darkness, not me.
Cuddly: (sighs) I had no idea how much of this pain you were holding. Listen, I've heard what you said before while you were with Keisuke about looking forward to getting your second chance.
Jorogumo: (nods) Yeah, I am. But I.. I can't help but look back at the past.
Cuddly: It's not your fault. The humans at that time just didn't understand your power. Many Classical Youkai sometimes feel that way if they somehow harm humans with the power they possess. (shakes his head from the sudden flashback he got)
Jorogumo: (sighs) They had good reason too. After what Kage- that's the manifestation's name, by the way- I grew obsessed with youth.
Cuddly: (looks down) Obsessed...
Jorogumo: (tears prick at her eyes) I wanted to feel it again. That youthfulness that was robbed from me because of Kage. That's why I did it.
Cuddly: I see... (is still looking down, feels sad over her backstory)
Jorogumo: (sighs) But it's too late now. I guess that old saying was true. A rotten apple stays rotten.
Cuddly: (looks a bit worried, but looks up as they arrive at the park where Gideon is) Time to get into business.
Jorogumo: (nods)
Gideon: (looks up from playing on the swings) Why, howdy there. Who are you?
Cuddly: Lil Gideon, we've got a few questions to ask you.
Gideon: (shrugs) Sure, why not? (snaps his fingers at the thugs nearby) Leave us.
They comply, walking out of the park, leaving the 3 alone.
Gideon: All right, shoot away.
Cuddly: We're looking for a woman named Karan Kenyu. She's a Japanese with brown hair, brown eyes, black shirt and blue jeans. Have you seen her?
Gideon: (thinks about it) I think I met her. She was trying to recruit me into doing something.
Cuddly: What was it?
Gideon: (shrugs) Something about destroying protagonists.
Cuddly: (is shocked) Wait... Is this about the Dark Balancers and that evil book?
Gideon: (blinks) I think so.
Cuddly: (begins to panic) Can you tell us where she was going?
Gideon: (frowns in concentration) I think she went to an alley.
Jorogumo: (curious) Why didn't you join her?
Gideon: (shrugs) Not interested anymore.
Cuddly: You don't want to harm your enemies anymore since they're now your friends, right?
Gideon: (nods)
Jorogumo: (smiles) I can relate.
Cuddly: (stands up) Thanks for the help! We must go to her and put an end to this! (begins walking away with Jorogumo to the mentioned alley)
Jorogumo: (turns back briefly, calls over her shoulder) Thanks again!
Gideon: You're welcome Miss!
Jorogumo: (then follows Cuddly)
At the alleyway, the two Youkai look around, moving the boxes and trashcans to find anything suspicious.
Cuddly: There's gotta be another doorway to her hideout...
Jorogumo: There's nothing, though...
Cuddly: (thinks) She must have run off after Gideon refused to join her.
Jorogumo: (nods) We should join up with the humans.
Cuddly: Great idea. I hope they have more clues on where she is.
With that, the duo run back to the area and head to the human group's direction.
Speaking of them, they're currently chatting with the 2 main characters of the show, Dipper and Mabel Pines.
Bao En: (blinks) So.... You two are supposed to be protagonists?
Mabel: Yeah we are! Dipper does the important stuff while I do the fun stuff!
Bao En: (nods in understanding) I see....
Dipper: (raises an eyebrow) So why ARE you here?
Gluesome: We're here for your autograph!
MS Keisuke: (to Gluesome) Gluesome, we don't have time for this! (to Dipper and Mabel) We're here to search for a girl who's said to be hiding around here. She's pretty much a Japanese who's wearing a black shirt and blue jeans.
Dipper: (nods) I see.... I think we saw her.
MS Keisuke: Really?! Where?!
Dipper: (points to the forest) There. She's around our age, right?
Bao En: (nods)
Gluesome: We've found out where's she hiding! Now we need to report this to the Youkai team.
As if on cue, the two come running towards them.
Cuddly: Bao En! Gluesome! Keisuke!
Jorogumo: (pants a bit) Did you find her?!
Bao En: (nods) We did.
Cuddly: We thought we had found her in an alley, but she's more illusive than we thought.
Jorogumo: (thinks about it, realises the truth) It's teleportation.
MS Keisuke: (eyes widen) Which means she must have been making us go in circles until we give up!
Bao En: (growls) Makes sense.
Dipper, Mabel: (look at each other)
Dipper: We'll help you.
Cuddly: You will? Are you sure you can help us?
Dipper: (nods) We don't mind at all.
Cuddly: Okay, so now we need to know how to stop her teleportation spell. I haven't seen anything like this before.
Bao En: (frowns)
Suddenly, her headband lights up.
Gluesome: (is awed by the glow)
MS Keisuke: Your headband Bao En!
Bao En: (looks at her headband)
A screen opens up, showing a green mist and its information.
Bao En: (eyes widen) T-This is...
Cuddly: It can't be...
Bao En: (eyes narrow) The Dark Teleportation magic. This makes so much sense now.
Gluesome: (mumbles) Dark Teleportation magic...
Bao En: (explains) Teleportation has a lot of versions. This one uses the Dark magic.
Cuddly: (remembers) When I was asking some kids, one of them mentioned about Kenyu asking him to join her in destroying protagonists.
Bao En: (frowns) That's bad.
Cuddly: It gets worse, because I think she must have been a follower of the Dark Balancers, which probably explains why she has those powers.
Bao En: (shakes her head) From what I know from Nade's books, they just had Hypnosis.
Dipper: So there's someone who's been hypnotising bad people to do their work!
Jorogumo: (looks at the information) No, I believe that there is someone much more malicious at work here. It's not the Dark Balancers.
Cuddly: Who else had it out for Aruke?
Bao En: (frowns) I think it might be Tomako's friends.
Cuddly: Tomako.... Aruke DID say something about him. He said that he was once a malicious Fate Changer who made bad books about destroying protagonists.
Gluesome: That is so low! What did he do to end up on the villain list?
Cuddly: He caused World War II to happen! (proceeds to describe his backstory the best he could)
Jorogumo: (is shocked) That's horrible!
Bao En: (frowns) But we don't know much about his friends, right?
Cuddly: I don't know.
Jorogumo: (sighs) This is going to take a while.
Dipper: (finishes searching the journal) I think I've found a way to solve this conundrum!
Bao En: (blinks) You have?
Dipper: (nods) There's a chart-map of Dark Teleportation spots all over town. If you can find them all, that girl you're looking for will probably be there.
Bao En: (eyes widen) That's brilliant, Dipper!
Jorogumo: (looks at the map, blinks) Dinosaur cave?
Cuddly: (scans the map) There are some near the Mystery Shack and that alley we went to.
Bao En: (leans in) The last one was at that gnome forest to the dinosaur cave.
Jorogumo: (nods) Then that's where we're headed.
Cuddly: We should split up once more and try to find her in these areas.
Jorogumo: Same groups, I suppose?
Cuddly: I'm okay with that.
Bao En: (nods) Let's go.
They go around, checking the areas for any sign of Kenyu Karan. Some people said that she had gone on different paths, but others said that she took the path she had entered from. After a while of searching, Jorogumo finally figures out the problem.
Jorogumo: (blunt) She's trying to confuse us. She knows that we're looking for her, and since we're only 5, she used that to her advantage.
Cuddly: We need more people...
Bao En: What about the twins, Gideon and Pacifica?
Cuddly: (smirks) They might work! After all, the more the merrier, as they say.
Bao En: (smiles) All right, let's go ask them-
Suddenly, a green mist seeps into the area.
MS Keisuke: W-What's happening now? (is shaking)
A girl steps out of the mist.
Karan: Hello there.
Cuddly: (understands) You're Karan...
Karan: (smirks) Yes. Yes I am.
Bao En: (growls) What did you do to Aruke-sshi?
Karan: (still smirks) Nothing much.
Cuddly: How can you say that in such a calm tone? (shakes his head) No matter. My boss is concerned about his life. If you don't hand him over to us now, we won't hold back on you.
Karan: (rolls her eyes) One problem Genius. Headmaster's not with me.
Gluesome: (gets confused) Headmaster?
Bao En: Aruke-sshi used to be a headmaster.
MS Keisuke: Where is he?
Karan: (chuckles) Not telling you.
Cuddly: Well then we'll make you answer the question! Gluesome! Jorogumo!
Jorogumo: (switches to her Shadowside)
Bao En: Magical Gates Open! (her headband glows and the balls float around her after releasing themselves from the headband)
Gluesome: (switches to his Shadowside and swallows Keisuke for protection) GRRR!!! I'll make you regret harming the multiverse I was born in!
Karan: (smirks) We'll see.
Dark attacks begin raining down on them.
Cuddly: (dodges them, but takes a blow)
Karan: (smirks) I've seen enough from a bear who kidnaps heroes for good.
Jorogumo: (sends her webs after Karan)
Karan: (rolls her eyes as she dodges) Apparently, you don't know when to give up, huh? It's futile to persevere, especially when you're an ex-villain. (dark smirk) You're still evil, so stop pretending.
Jorogumo: (freezes, but growls) I'm not pretending.
Gluganoid: (helps Jorogumo) There's no way fate is telling her what to do now! My feelings in this form are shared with the friend I am guarding, and I feel their pain! You don't get that because you've never seen her cry! (attacks Karan with sticky red slime)
Karan: (slides away, rolls her eyes) Sure you're not. Why don't you just betray them now and come with me? Master would LOVE to have you.
Jorogumo: (grip tightens) No.
Karan: (raises an eyebrow) You sure? You'll no longer have to care about being "good".
Cuddly: (tries to cloud over Karan's words) Don't listen to her! She's just trying to pull you back into your nightmare!
Karan: (smirks) But I speak the truth.
Jorogumo: (grips her fist, looks confused)
Cuddly: I WON'T LET YOU DO THIS KARAN! I care for her like how your headmaster does! She didn't deserve to suffer in Kage's hands! She doesn't deserve to be part of your scheme! (grabs hold of Karan)
Karan: (kicks Cuddly away) You filthy animal!
Jorogumo: (is touched) Cuddly...
Bao En: (growls, attacks Karan) She will never join you!
Gluganoid: (also attacks her with sharp crystals his outer spine had made for defence) Yeah! You even harmed and insulted my master! None of us will forgive you!
Karan: (dodges, chuckles) You sure?~ (lunges for Cuddly)
Cuddly: (tries to defend)
Karan: (hits his belly directly)
MS Keisuke and Gluganoid can only stare in horror as their leader falls to the ground.
Karan: (laughs, turns to Gluganoid) Looks like you're a goner! (is about to lunge for them when a web grabs her hand and pulls her back) Huh? (turns her head, notices that Jorogumo had stopped her)
Jorogumo: (looks at her, a dull green glow in her now-human-like eyes) You can mess with me all you want, but NEVER ever touch my friends.
Karan: You somehow awakened your true powers... (smirks) Don't tell me you have feelings for that wild animal~
Jorogumo: (blunt tone) My true powers could come out thanks to him, Keisuke, and everyone else. I owe them that. That's why I will bring you down! (lunges for Karan, webs are out at the ready)
Karan: (dodges) I won't lose to you!
Jorogumo: Neither am I! (summons leaves and has them attack Karan.
Bao En: (joins in, strengthens Jorogumo's leaves with wind attacks made by her throws and kicks)
Karan: (refuses to surrender, she's struggling to survive the combo attack of the two temporary members)
Jorogumo: (shoots out webs that restrain her, then activates the Blazing magic) No matter how many times you try to bring me down, I will always remember that these people know who I truly am!
Bao En: (adds more wind attacks by kicking the balls around to form a tornado)
Karan: (gets burnt by the strong attack) I... Won't... Lose.... To... You...
Suddenly, a black portal opens up under Karan and she falls in, disappearing. Then, the flames disappear gradually, leaving the group there with a glowing sphere.
Bao En: (kicks a soccer ball to the mist to suck in the magic, sighs) Finally.
MS Keisuke: (comes out of Gluganoid)
Gluganoid: (switches back to his Lightside)
The duo rush to their guardian.
MS Keisuke: (cries) Cuddly-no, Bearlynyan! Why did you do that?!
Gluesome: (comforts him)
Jorogumo: (switches back to her Lightside, rushes over to Cuddly and begins healing him)
Gluesome: (to Jorogumo) He must have done something strong to make you come back to your senses. I would have done the same if he had gone through what you had. (cries)
Jorogumo: (to Gluesome) Thanks. (to Cuddly, shakes her head, joking tone) Idiot. Don't do that ever again, or I'll tell Aruke-san to monitor you 24/7.
Cuddly: Grrrrr.... (slowly wakes up)
Jorogumo: (sighs) Seriously, Cuddly, don't do that ever again.
Cuddly: I'm sorry... It's just that she was trying to persuade you to go back to your obsession... I was doing my best to make you snap out of it.
Jorogumo: (gently hits him on the head) I appreciate it, Cuddly. Thanks for that hit on the head.
Cuddly: My thoughts exactly. (smiles) Thanks for helping me out and healing my wounds.
Jorogumo: It's no problem.
Cuddly: (then turns to Gluesome and MS Keisuke) Gluesome... Keisuke... I'm so sorry I let my guard down.... I didn't want her to destroy you guys because you're the protagonists of your worlds...
MS Keisuke: (sighs a bit) Just don't do it again.
The duo hug him, being careful around his injuries, of course.
Jorogumo: (smiles as she and Bao En stand on the side)
Bao En: (is checking her Libra Stabiliser) I can open a portal to our world now that I have a portal magic.
Cuddly: Are you sure you want to leave? Aruke is still missing... (struggles to get up)
Jorogumo: (gently pushes him down) No, Bao En and I should go. You guys should continue your adventure.
Cuddly: But... (sees that Jorogumo's concerned of the possibility that he could harm himself even more) ... Okay, just remember that you've got friends who know the real you...
Jorogumo: (nods) Got it.
Bao En: (opens a portal by making her balls spin around) Let's go.
Gluesome: You guys were a big help! We'll take care of our master! (waves)
MS Keisuke: Bye guys! It was nice meeting you! (waves too)
Jorogumo: (smiles before she takes out an Ark and gives it to MS Keisuke) Here.
MS Keisuke: Why are you giving your Ark to me?
Jorogumo: (grins) As a sign of our friendship.
Cuddly: I'll give you something to remember us by. A signs that we're allies. (takes his Ark from his flannel shirt's pocket, gives it to Bao En)
Bao En: (smiles) Thanks!
Cuddly: (smiles back) I do need some rest now, but if you ever need me, I'll be ready to help!
Jorogumo: (nods with a smile) Got it.
Bao En: Goodbye you guys. (stands up and steps through the portal)
Jorogumo: (waves bye to them before she suddenly stops) Right, I want to tell you something.
Cuddly: What is it?
Jorogumo: (smiles enigmatically) Our Keisuke's an actor. (steps through the portal)
The group is left confused over her last words.
Gluesome: An actor?
MS Keisuke: (has question marks flying all over his head)
Cuddly: I guess we can now understand how their Keisuke can handle daggers well.
MS Keisuke: (eyes go sparkly again) That's so cool! I want to try!
Cuddly: Once we get back to Bakunyan, we can ask him to teach you how to use daggers!
MS Keisuke: (nods, is now fired up) Yosh! Let's get back to Bakunyan!
Gluesome, Cuddly: (nods)
Gluesome: Agreed!
Cuddly: Allright, let's go!
Gluesome, MS Keisuke: AH!
They walk back to town, Cuddly turning back to his Lightside to heal better. The trio have smiles on their faces because they're alive and well.
Keisuke: What is this?...
Tireni: I'm a huge fan!
????? 1: Could you be....
????? 2: Let's see if you can win~
Keisuke, Tireni: Next time, on Universal Collision!
