As everyone walks through the gate, they find themselves in a long narrow hallway. As they walked through, Floran turned to Cutecumber and said, "So, traitor, how did you get inside this tower anyway?"

Cutecumber scratched the back of her head nervously. "Well, outside was some pitch-black dinosaur with blue eyes and he spat on me."

Kookakoo skipped playfully and said, "Yeah, that was the dinosaur man from the Fiji Islands. He upgraded his powers and now his spit makes us professional basketball players."

"So close Kookakoo." Floran said passive aggressively. Floran glanced back to Cutecumber and said, "I still don't trust you." Cutecumber hung her head in shame.

Octopus Man was mindlessly chomping on some biscuits while all of this was happening.

As they reached the end of the hallway, they faced a massive metal door. The voice from earlier spoke again. "Through this door is your first challenge. One-by-one, you must face Nyx, a being that has no physical form, but instead looks into your brain and takes the shape of your worst fear. GO!"

The metal door swung open and a screen above displayed the name "Octopus Man". The voice said, "Octopus Man is up first!"

Octopus Man held his fist up high, and with a determined smile, he walked in, and the doors closed behind him. Floran scratched her head in confusion. "Wait, how does this place know our names?"

Kookakoo smiled and said, "His real name is John if you didn't know. Not Octopus Man." Floran turns around, looking even more confused, "That's even worse. How does the screen know his fake name?"

Cutecumber tapped Floran's shoulders. "Floran, remember, this story never made sense to begin with." Floran sighed and nodded. "Yeah, good point." she said, conceding.

As Octopus Man entered the room, he faced Nyx, the being that could turn into anyone's worst fear. Octopus Man let out a horrified scream. "OH NO! A GIANT BLOB OF GOO!"

Nyx could not accurately transform into any fear of Octopus Man, and instead was a shapeless blob of goo. Nyx spoke in a deep and dark voice. "Y..you're brain... it's so idiotic that I can't even see anything in it." Nyx then exploded. Octopus Man felt power surge through him, allowing him to instantly transcend to the next level of the tower.

The voice hosting the event spoke again and said, "Well... this has never happened before, but it appears as if Nyx has quite literally died."

Floran's eyes widened in disbelief. "Wait, Octopus Man killed the first enemy?" she asked, still not believing what had happened.

The voice then said, "Well, we'll bring in the next best thing. Nyx will be replaced with Randomizer. As its name suggests, it can randomly transform into anything, and you will have to fight whatever shape it takes."

The screen lights up with the name "Floran". The doors swing open and Floran walks inside. She prepared herself by manifesting an energy sword. She looks around and sees a potato chip. She walked up to it with a blank expression and picked it up. She looked at it for a few seconds before crushing it in her hands.

"FLORAN MOVES ON TO THE NEXT ROUND!" the voice said, before Floran instantly ascended to the second level of the tower.

The screen lights up with the name "Caleb". Kookakoo and Cutecumber looked over as they saw Mr. Fluffypants patting Caleb, who was still traumatized, on the back. "You can do this man!" he said, encouragingly.

As the doors swung open, Caleb stumbled into the room. When the doors closed behind him, the voice instantly said, "Caleb has died!" Mr. Fluffypants' jaw dropped.

Cutecumber's eyes widen. "I wonder what he could have fought." she said, scared for her own safety. The screen then lit up with the name "Emberlyn". She was a girl with short purple hair. She wore a black suit with a yellow tie and was constantly flaming with blue and red flames on each side of her body.

She walked in and the room, and a few minutes later the voice spoke again, saying, "Emberlyn has passed!"

The screen then lights up with the name "The Number 7". Mr. Fluffypants holds onto The Number 7 with tears in his eyes. "Don't end up like Caleb!" he begged.

The Number 7, having no facial features, simply hovered inside the room. When the doors closed, it found itself faced with a wild tiger that the Randomizer had created. The tiger charged at 7, but simply ran through it bashing its head on the wall, killing itself instantly.

"THE NUMBER 7 SURVIVES!" the voice yelled. Mr. Fluffypants cheered in happiness. The screen then lit up with the name "Background character number 76".

Kookakoo sighed and said, "Yeah we can do a time skip to pass all of these background characters."

Time skips past the background characters. Some passed, some didn't. The screen now lit up with the name "Kookakoo".

Cutecumber looked at her with a worried expression. "Are you sure you got this Kookakoo?" Kookakoo nodded with a smirk. "Of course I am. I am the strongest!" she said confidently.

She walked through the doors with a smug smile. Her smile instantly dropped when she finds that her opponent is a horse.

"Kookakoo has died!" the voice calls out. Cutecumber drops to her knees. "NO NOT KOOKAKOO!" she yelled.

The screen then read, "Mr. Fluffypants". He gulped and nervously walked through the door. When the doors slammed behind him, he saw that his opponent was the ghost of Kookakoo.

Mr. Fluffypants desperately reached into his pockets to find anything that could help him against her. Kookakoo just hovered in the air without saying a word.

"AH HA! TAKE THIS! A SPECK OF DUST!" he said, throwing a dust particle he found from his pocket. Once the particle hit Kookakoo she was instantly revived and looked around confused.

"Mr. Fluffypants moves on the next round... and I guess... Kookakoo does too because she's alive now." the voice said. When Kookakoo ascended she found herself in a room only to see Octopus Man swimming in a pool of biscuits. "YOU MEANY!" she yelled. "How dare you do a biscuit pool party without me!" she concluded.

Cutecumber was now the last contestant. She entered the room nervously and saw that her opponent was the literal Devil. She sighed and gripped her cucumber sword tightly. She went in for a swing, but The Devil slapped her, sending her flying back into a wall. He then breathed hellfire at her.

Cutecumber managed to block most of the fire with her cucumber sword, and she once again ran towards The Devil. This time stabbing him through the heart. "Aaah I've been defeated. Oh nooooooo..." The Devil cried before turning to dust.

"Cutecumber makes it to the next round." the voice said. When Cutecumber ascended to the second level, she was in a room alone with Floran.

Floran rolled her eyes. "Ugh, it's the traitor." Cutecumber looked down sadly before saying, "Where is everyone else?" Floran shrugged. "No clue." she said.
