"Yoink!" Silver had quickly rushed back, snatched the card and rushed off.
Maurice sighed as the squad started running again. "Oh well, I at least have a name to put on that hated face."
The squad screeched to a halt when they were at a laundry chute. Panic began to rise in them. They had no clue where it went! It could easily lead to another trap, but at this point, they'd rather take that than being-
"Will you stand still, you lot?" Mistral said as the four made their way over to the squad. "Nothing personal, the boss just wants you to sign some dumb toy contract. He might even hang you above the fireplace until you agree."
"How about shuck no?!" Inkerton yelled, shoving Raiden and King Boo down the chute as the squad followed him, dragging the children, ducks and geese with them as the Queen Gohma fell through, crashing down the chute.
Wattles and Hellen joined the Winds of Destruction and Shadow Hunters at the end of the hallway, looking disheartened. "Oh...we were so close!" Hellen groaned.
"Mr. Wattles, Miss Gravely, I understand your frustration that you weren't able to capture them. But then again, they will be easy to catch soon." Monsoon said.
"Mr. Wattles, Miss Gravely, are you sure you want to take the responsibility of capturing the X-Squad?" Megafin was skeptical. "These guys are pretty insane to handle."
"Trust me, Dr. Finsworth. I have plenty of resources and employees who can easily handle them. I will go beyond the edge of the multiverse if I have to! No matter what, the X-Squad will be forced to sign."
A wicked smile on their lips, Wattles and Hellen headed back toward the elevator, with the Shadow Hunters coming along, nervous about their new ally, as the Winds of Destruction looked kinda crazy.
Inside an ornate throne room, a woman draped in darkness was livid as she spoke with her guards.
"What do you mean we're short one desire? There were 100 cards handed out, and you have 99."
"Forgive us, Monarch. We know there are other people in Underworld, but we couldn't detect their desires, and the numbers didn't match up. So we assumed they were intruders. We tried to apprehend them, but they escaped."
"Well, find them! And the remaining desire as well! I won't rest until this whole place is going crazy for Hiiragi... To the point where they drive themselves into the dirt..."
While the squad were falling down the chute, that same sitcom music started playing.
Maurice made his first rival
And, to no surprise, it's someone he hates
"Holy fuck, when will this end?!" Lyre snapped.
"These guys just don't give up, huh?" Jerome remarked.
Silver and his crazy seal
Though may have well sealed their fate
Morrigan the Totodile blinked. This time, she did it very slowly, and one of the eyes was a split second delayed, making the blinking a bit unsettling.
"Holy fuck, how long is the chute?! It's like Buzz Lightyear, going to infinity and beyond!" William yelled.
Silver ticks all the boxes
He's both a jerk and dumb
And this is why Maurice, Maurice, Mauriiiiiiiiice
Hates everyone!
"You're damn right I do!" Maurice said as he threw up his hands.
"So, I'm okay!" Raiden said, smiling and laughing with relief as he finally got the codec working, as the X-Squad looked at Raiden's left hand.
"I think we're in the clear," Drakus said, "But who was that woman on the jumbotron?"
"I dunno," Captain Kidd said, "I'd almost assume it was Alice, but I don't think she'd go and do what those freaks were doing."
"Not to mention it wouldn't make sense given her Quirk," Zorro added, "She can only create random small objects and launch them. This reality seems to improve the power of Quirks, but in a way that makes sense for the Quirk in general."
Drakus then noticed a large box with what looked like circuits running along it. He noticed what looked like a touch panel and placed his hand on it.
"Genetic marker 86% match to Kenthax Hydrax. Parameters recognized. Welcome, Drakus Hydrax."
Drakus gasped. "That's my grandpapa's name."
The box lit up along its circuits, and a ssssss and blue belt with an ornate pink buckle flew onto his waist.
"Dude, what's going on?" Captain Kidd asked as he and the others approached, and noticed the Twitch Chat.
"Why're you streaming?" Arsene asked.
"You ever tried streaming your heroism to the world?" Drakus remarked.
More black smoke burst forth from her body, in copious amounts, before she lay limp on the floor.
She was a little smaller, though not by much. She still looked armored and sinister, but the pupil in her eye was no longer the eerie red it had been. For a moment, Gohma lay still, before slowly rolling to her feet.
"...Guhh… What a hangover." She moaned, claws resting over her upper body, rather like a drunk cradling their head. "What happened? Did I get into some fermented fruit by mistake…?"
"Uh… Hi?" Chris waved uncertainly, though she held her guns up, juuuust in case.
"...Hello." Gohma awkwardly looked up, blinking. "...Wait, I- you shot me in the eyeball and… Oh, that's right…" She hissed then, angry. "I was being controlled…" She shook herself, before fully addressing the squad. "...Sorry about that. I wasn't myself. We Gohma generally feed on tree sap, but it seems…" She awkwardly glanced around the large room.
"...I may have gotten a bit out of control." She sounded sheepish. "Some bird thing showed up in the woods, and did… some kind of magic thing to me, and the next thing I knew I was in this hotel."
"So it was a curse, huh?" Mystle retorted.
"And I am going to find the man who did that and eat his legs." Gohma promised darkly, skittering towards the center of the chamber. "Shall we leave? I'd rather not be here with reminders of my gluttony all around me."
"Ah, good! Remember the two procedures to maintain your body: One, seizing nano-repair units from your foes. And two-" A German voice said.
"Absorbing their electrolytes. I know, Doktor." Raiden said, rolling his eye.
"Erm, is there context? Please?" Weiss asked.
