Floran began running down the hallway, screaming out, saying, "OCTOPUS MAN! KOOKAKOO! WHERE ARE YOU?" As she ran, she looked for any possible sign of a restroom.
Suddenly, loud rumbling was heard, causing Floran to flinch a bit. This rumbling was obviously caused by TRIUNE firing more blasts of energy that hit the walls of the cathedral, but Floran didn't have time to focus on that. She needed to find the main characters.
She continued running again. "These idiots keep going off somewhere. Why can't they take anything seriously?" she thought to herself.
TRIUNE's beams became more sporadic. One of the beams collided with Dinkleflop, but he was able to block most of the impact with his fist, covered by the party hat. Despite this, the attack was still powerful enough to cause him tumbling back into one of the seats.
Malum jumped in fear when she saw Dinkleflop tumble backwards. "Don't pass out again okay." Lusha said. Malum gulped but nodded. "I'll try not to." she said with her usual shaky voice.
"To be honest, why does she need to stay conscious anyway? She doesn't do anything." Nalay stated. "Yeah. Emberlyn's more useful." Boomerang added. "Oh I know. It's just that her passing out gag is getting really old." Lusha replied.
Cutecumber then walked up to Lusha and asked, "Where did Floran go?" Lusha turned to her and replied, "She went to find Octopus Man and Kookakoo. They went to the restroom."
Cutecumber looked up to the curtain that led into the hallway. "I honestly didn't even know this place had a restroom." she stated. "Yeah. This world is a Superposition. Why the hell does it need a restroom?" Nalay asked.
"Who knows." Lusha responded, ignoring the fact that TRIUNE was still firing its beams everywhere around them.
"WHY AREN'T YOU DOING ANYTHING!" Ofor shouted to the rest of the Great 4. "We really can't. We've already exhausted all of our abilities." Pepperoni replied. Ofor shook her head and replied, "You should never give up! That's what the Great 4 is all about!"
"Yeah, maybe that was the case on a planet bound by some sort of logic. But we're fighting an invulnerable entity here." Pepperoni retorted. Astra then put down her gun again and said, "Yeah. I give up."
"Giving up won't do anything! You'll still be stuck here!" Ofor shouted. "Well what else are we supposed to do when our enemy is undefeatable?" Astra asked, throwing her arms up. Ofor paused, not able to come up with a response.
Srawbetty, who was still feeding Wushadabu strawberries, said, "You haven't been using your staff. Why do you still need powering up?" Wushadau looked at her, still chewing on some of the berries, and said, "Oh, I gave up a while ago. These berries are just really yummy."
This statement made Strawbetty very upset. "NO MORE FOR YOU!" she shouted. "NOOOO!" Wushadabu cried.
Kate continued to stare down at TRIUNE in awe. Its blasts just so happened to miss her despite her standing motionless. "That creature is quite angry." she said. Kat walked up and looked down as well. "Yes it is. Even my dagger was no match for it." she responded.

"If only we had a specific item that could transform into anything at will that could help us." Chess Hat Pennsylvanian Cape Man said, walking up to them. "Ooh! Ooh! I do!" Goose Man shouted, pointing to the turret text to him.
"Hmm. But that's already in use. Maybe a living creature of some sort that has an unrestricted shapeshifting ability. A dog would be the most preferable option." Chess Hat Pennsylvanian Cape Man responded, thinking to himself. "Yeah. But where can we find one of those?" Kat asked.
Catalina, who had disappeared when no one was looking like always, finally returned. It barked for attention. Brazilian Bug Boy, who overheard the conversation, got an idea. "THAT'S IT!" he shouted. He ran up to Catalina and asked, "Do you know where we can find a shapeshifting dog?"
Octopus Man and Kookakoo walked down the hallway casually. "It took a while but we finally found the restrooms." Kookakoo stated. "Yup. And I think during that time, my power finally charged up." Octopus Man replied. "Oooh! Cool!" Kookakoo exclaimed.
Floran, who was running, spotted them, and stopped in front of them, gasping for air as she had ran a lot. "Oh, hi Floran." Octopus Man said, waving his hand. Floran grabbed him by the neck and yelled, "STOP LEAVING!"
Octopus Man giggled and molted out of his skin, leaving Floran holding nothing but empty flesh. "WHAT? EW!" she shouted in disgust.
"Listen. My power is finally charged. We might have a chance to beat the Triune now!" he stated with an air of confidence. Floran rubbed her eyelids in frustration before saying, "You better not be lying to me."
"I swear I'm not. Quick! Let's go!" Octopus Man said, running down the hallway. Kookakoo quickly followed him and said, "Yeah Floran. What's taking you so long."
Floran held in a scream. She started walking after them, back to the cathedral.
TRIUNE stopped attacking the group, and instead attacked only the row they were standing on, causing the crack in it to grow bigger. "It's going to break any moment." Kiaqua stated nonchalantly. "HOW ARE YOU NOT SCARED? WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!" Acty shouted in pure terror.
Suddenly, a portal opened behind them. "ANOTHER PORTAL?" Rit shouted, pointing over to it.
"Who might this possibly be?" Sir Seepage III said to himself. The portal was very large, and a green T-Rex emerged from it. "Hey look. It's Sewerbass." U-VOL stated.
"Hi guys!" Sewerbass said, waving its tiny arm.
"I think I've seen everything." Rit stated with an unreadable expression. Mr. Fluffypants however, screamed at the sight of such a large dinosaur.
"Oh, I remember that thing." Lusha said, looking over at Sewerbass. "Hello!" Sewerbass shouted to her. "Another dinosaur trying to steal my spotlight." Boomerang muttered to himself, glaring at Sewerbass angrily.
Octopus Man, Kookakoo, and Floran returned. "We're finally back, and holy hell that dinosaur again." Floran said with wide eyes, looking up at the dinosaur.
"My power is fully charged!" Octopus Man exclaimed, pumping his fist in the air.
Hearing this, The Number 7 once again powered everyone to their highest possible potentials. Even if they didn't realize it, all of their auras were as large as the cosmos itself.
TRIUNE's blast finally caused the entire row to snap into two. "RUN!" Brazilian Bug Boy shouted. Half of the group ran to the left, and the other half ran to the right. There was now a massive hole in the center of the row, and it was extremely unstable.
Octopus Man looked at Catalina, who was on his side of the row. "Oh you're back. Go down there and transform into a platform. Make sure it is at eye level with the Triune." he commanded.
Catalina immediately jumped over the railing, and transformed into a platform that was, just as Octopus Man commanded, at eye level with TRIUNE. Octopus Man jumped down on the platform and stared directly into its eyes. He gave off a smug smirk.
TRIUNE was confused by the fact that someone would so confidently walk right up to it.
"Hello Mr. TRIUNE." Octopus Man said in a teasing tone.
