The beast stomped closer to the platform Octopus Man and the rest of the group were on. Cutecumber clenched her fists and said, "We really don't have any way to win, do we?"
"I'm sure we could if 7 helped us, but he's back over there." Octopus Man responded, pointing at the third platform where 7 was.
Catalina grew rockets and flew over to the platform, grabbed 7 by holding on to it with her teeth, and flew back over to the rest of the group.
"NO! 7! NOT AGAIN!" Mr. Fluffypants cried, reaching his arm out to 7.
When Catalina returned and dropped 7, Kookakoo picked up 7 and searched around it, saying, "There has to be some sort of on switch that makes this thing super powerful."
Rit stared off at the platform, and when she saw Kookakoo searching 7 she asked, "Why can she touch 7? I thought that thing was intangible to anything that isn't its friend."
"7 makes friends very easily." Mr. Fluffypants replied. Rit scoffed in response.
Nalay used her own form of energy to create energy chains around TRIUNE, but the beast easily broke free without even noticing. "Damn. We really are screwed." she said to herself.
TRIUNE finally arrived at the platform, staring down at the group. It was breathing heavily, ready to strike at any time. The group stayed silent in fear.
Octopus Man slowly turned to Kookakoo, who was still holding The Number 7, and whispered, "Throw it at TRIUNE." Kookakoo nodded, and, with all her strength, threw 7 at TRIUNE.
7 pierced right through TRIUNE's chest, causing it to let out a loud roar of pain. "Wait! Did we just beat it?" Boomerang asked. Floran stood up from laying on the ground and stared at the hole in TRIUNE's chest. "Not yet." she said.
The hole in TRIUNE's chest started healing, and Floran said, "I knew it." Brazilian Bug Boy stepped forward and threw his sword into the hole. "Maybe it won't heal if there is something lodged in it." she said.
Despite Brazilian Bug Boy's theory, the hole healed around the sword and broke it in half. "MY SWORD!" he cried.
"Why is everyone losing their weapons?" Lusha asked. "DON'T WORRY!" Octopus Man shouted, using telekinesis to bring the two broken halves of the sword back. He then put on a surgeon mask and said, "Scalpel." Kookakoo walked up and gave him a scalpel.
"Horseradish." he then said. Kookakoo shook her head and said, "But Dr. Octopus Man, I can't give you horseradish, I'll die from the horses in it."
"DAMMIT! WE CAN'T LET THIS SWORD DIE!" Octopus Man yelled. "QUICK! GIVE IT CPR!" Kookakoo shouted, in a panicked state.

Brazilian Bug Boy ran over to them and started crying. "My poor sword." he sobbed.
Boomerang charged up his electric tail and said, "Stand back." He then lowered his tail at the sword and shouted, "CLEAR!"
He electrocuted the sword, causing it to return to one piece, good as new. Brazilian Bug Boy picked it up and raised it in the air. "YAY! MY SWORD IS BACK!"
Octopus Man removed his surgeon mask and said, "I love my job."
Floran looked over at Emberlyn who was frozen in shock. She stared up at TRIUNE and couldn't speak. TRIUNE raised one of its arms and swiped downwards. The group covered themselves in fear, but before it could destroy the platform, the platform backed away.
"Huh? How did the platform move?" Cutecumber asked, looking around. Octopus Man was holding on to a steering wheel and replied, "I secretly told Catalina to turn into a steering wheel. I can now control this platform."
Goose Man threw his hanger on the ground, and it transformed into a dome. "And now we have a done to protect us." he said with a smile.
TRIUNE stomped closer to them and simply touched the dome, causing it to crack, and shatter. Goose Man stared as it reverted back into his hanger and fell and to the ground.
"See, we aren't the only ones who have been useless." Brazilian Bug Boy taunted. "Shut up or all beat you with a sack of beans." Goose Man retorted.
"Welp, time to go." Octopus Man said, pressing a gas pedal that appeared on the floor and drove away from TRIUNE. "But aren't we supposed to beat the Triune, not run away?" Boomerang asked. "Good question my long-necked friend." Octopus Man replied.
There was then a silence as Octopus Man drove off on the flying platform with the group. "He's not going to answer, is he?" Boomerang asked. "No." Floran replied.
Rit, Mr. Fluffypants and Nalay watched as they drove off. "NOW WHAT?" Rit yelled. "Don't worry so much, the Triune is only after them and will probably chase them down." Nalay stated.
TRIUNE turned its massive beast-like head towards them and started stomping towards them. "Or not." Nalay said with a nervous smile.
Rit and Mr. Fluffypants started screaming in fear. "Hey hey hey, I thought you hated people screaming." Nalay said to Rit. Rit was hyperventilating and turned to Nalay before yelling, "I'M LITERALLY GOING TO DIE!" Nalay shook her head and summoned an energy sword and handed it to her. "Here. I know you lost your sword, so maybe this will help." she said calmly.
Rit's scared expression turned into one of rage. She threw the sword off of the platform as hard as she could. "THAT WON'T DO ANYTHING! WHY IS EVERYONE SO USELESS!" she screamed.
The sword flew through the air and just so happened to hit Octopus Man's head, causing him to pass out. The group flinched in shock. "What just happened?" Emberlyn asked, startled by the sword. Floran looked at the sword on the ground before it disappeared. She immediately recognized the energy from the sword and grew angry. "NALAY!" she shouted as loud as she could.
Kookakoo started shaking Octopus Man. "HE'S DEAD AGAIN!" she yelled. "Great." Floran said sarcastically.
TRIUNE opened its arms and looked up to the sky.
"SUPERPOSITION"
With this ability, the world shifted, TRIUNE's massive form started ascending. Everyone stared as TRIUNE started floating, and in an instant, it disappeared.
"Did... did we win?" Goose Man asked. "Allow me to explain." Lusha stated, stepping forward. "Oh great." the entire group groaned.
Malum woke up once more. She sat up and looked around, drowsy from the constant fear she had been feeling.
Lusha smirked before saying, "The Triune just used Superposition. It is at an absolute and unreachable state now. We can't ever hope to reach it. We're practically just characters in a story to it now, nothing we can do."
At this, Malum passed out from fear once again.
