Seven months after their return from the other world, Floran found herself sitting on a park bench. Cutecumber approached and questioned. "I've been homeless for months after I moved to this world. Why haven't we started looking for the Triune yet?" Floran, with a sigh, pointed toward Octopus Man and Kookakoo, who were competing.
"That's why," Floran said. "Those two have been playing 'who can steal the most dolphins' for ages." Cutecumber looked confused. "We are at a park. There are no dolphins here." she stated. Octopus Man then reached into a nearby puddle, and pulled out a dolphin. He yelled, "Got one!" Cutecumber was left shocked.
"No fair! I called dibs on that puddle!" Kookakoo shouted while pouting.
Cutecumber, who was frustrated, walked up to Octopus Man and Kookakoo, taking out her cucumber sword to threaten them. She yelled at them, "WE NEED TO FIND THE TRIUNE NOW!" Kookakoo looked annoyed and said "Ugh, fine. Let's go John." When she turned to Octopus Man, he was no longer there. Only a scarecrow with a sign that read, "Off to eat biscuits."
Cutecumber, unable to tolerate any more delays, burst through Octopus Man's door while he was enjoying a biscuit. Grabbing him by the throat, she exclaimed, "LET'S GO ALREADY!" Octopus Man shrugged and agreed, "Fine, but let me tell my loyal subjects I'll be off." He walked to his backyard, where thousands of people were waiting and bowed down to him. "I'm off to defeat the Triune," he announced, and the crowd erupted in cheers.
He then returned inside. He closed the door behind him and casually remarked, "Okay, let's go."
Octopus Man, Kookakoo, Cutecumber, and Floran walked together down the street when Floran looked around and asked, "Wait, where is Brazilian Bug Boy?" Octopus Man turned with a grin and said, "Oh, he's in my backpack." Octopus Man pulled out Brazilian Bug Boy from the bag, who gasped for air. "I was in there for months!" he exclaimed.
Cutecumber, seemingly uninterested in the things happening around her, directed her attention to Floran and asked, "Can you please just tell us where the Triune is already?"
Floran pointed forward. "If we continue forward, we'll eventually end up in the country of Landland. That's where we can find more information."

Kookakoo nodded and said "I hope they don't have horses there." Floran looked at her. "Actually, even though they look like normal humans, everyone in the country is part horse." she stated. Kookakoo looks at her with a blank expression.
Cutecumber was very impatient. Irritated, she turned to Floran and bluntly stated, "Just teleport us there already. We don't have time for this."
Floran nodded. Without further delay, she extended her hands towards the group and teleported them to the border of Landland. "Passports please." the border guard said. Octopus Man hands the guard his passport. "Um sir, this is an expired coupon for canned beef." the officer said. "QUICK, HE'S ON TO US" Octopus Man yelled. They all pushed passed him and started running through Landland.
The guard shouted after them, "Stop! You can't just..." but his words were drowned out by the footsteps of the group as they ran past the border, and in to Landland.
The group, panting and out of breath, huddled behind a nearby corner, trying to catch their breaths. Brazilian Bug Boy, panting, says, "I think we lost him."
Cutecumber shot a stern look at Octopus Man, "This is why you shouldn't use expired coupons as passports!" Octopus Man just laughs in response.
Kookakoo pointed to a large structure. "Look at that big building. That's probably where the king of Landland lives." she said.
"Yeah. The king probably knows more about the Triune than I do so let's go." Floran replied.
Cutecumber looks confused. "Wait, didn't you say you knew where the Triune was?" she asked. Floran nodded, "I can sense their presence here, but I don't exactly know where their true forms are located. It's still probably dangerous so we should be careful."
Brazilian Bug Boy spoke up. "Octopus Man and Kookakoo already left and are marching into the building as we speak." Floran and Cutecumber screamed in fear and ran after them.
As Octopus Man swung the door open, Kookakoo followed closely behind, both entering the building. The entrance hall was filled with huge chandeliers, and columns that reached the ceiling.
Cutecumber, Floran, and Brazilian Bug Boy, followed them quickly, making sure not to lose sight of them. "Guys, be careful." Floran whispered. Just then they heard someone walking down the hallway. "Quick, turn invisible!" Octopus man said quietly before vanishing.
"What? We can't do that." Cutecumber said. Floran quickly grabbed Cutecumber and Kookakoo and flew them to the ceiling so they wouldn't be seen. Brazilian Bug Boy also used his own wings to fly to the ceiling. The man walking down the hallway was a guard. The guard took his hat off and it was Octopus Man. "Coast is clear." he shouted.
Floran and Brazilian Bug Boy flew back down. "How did you do that?" Brazilian Bug Boy asked. Octopus Man giggled and said, "Catalina taught me."
