A giant warning screen was being displayed on a TV monitor in a surveillance room back on Earth. It made a blaring sound, and a man in a suit ran in and yelled, "What's going on?"
Another man in a suit was simply staring at the screen with a look of horror on his face. It was as if he was paralyzed.
"What's wrong with you? What is happening?" the first man said, shaking the other. The other didn't move a muscle. He just stared at the screen which was flashing and blaring an alarm. "It's angry." he said with a shaky voice.
Meanwhile in the tower, Cutecumber looked at Astra and Brazilian Bug Boy who both looked pale. Astra's face was covered by sunglasses and a mask, yet her fear was palpable. "What did you see when that girl killed you?" Cutecumber asked. Astra lifted her head to see Cutecumber. "I saw everything. Every idea, every thought, and I saw them all turn to nothing." she replied.
Brazilian Bug Boy nodded, implying he saw the same thing. Kookakoo then came up, and walked up to Astra before saying, "That's not important. I'm wondering how you got your sunglasses back on. Didn't they fall off?" Kookakoo was truly asking the real questions. Astra just shrugged in response.
The voice of the host spoke up and said, "Challenge four is quite simple. Simply walk through the door in front of you and defeat the being that stands behind it."
Just as the voice said, before them was a massive metal door. Floran walked up to it, and with a single punch, the door flew off of its hinges.
Behind the door was Octopus Man, Kookakoo, and Catalina sitting a fancy table. "It appears we have guests." Octopus Man said in a haughty accent. "Yes, it appears so." Kookakoo replied.
"GET OUT OF THE WAY!" Floran yelled, kicking the table down.
Finally, they saw who was really behind the door. It was a man with jet-black hair and shiny red eyes. He was wearing traditional red Chinese clothing. What stood out is that he wore a giant chess pawn as a hat, he wore a flowing red cape, and held a massive pencil in his hands.
"Ah so you have not only made it to the 4th level, but you have bypassed the rules of the 3rd. Very impressive." the man said with a sly grin.
No one was listening, as they all were playing a round of 8-ball pool as he spoke. "LISTEN TO ME!" he yelled.

Cutecumber sighed and said, "Ugh fine. Tell us your name or whatever."
"That's more like it. I am Chess Hat Pennsylvanian Cape Man!" Floran facepalmed. "Wow, how clever." she said sarcastically. She then looked up and said, "but wait, why Pennsylvanian?"
"Because I'm holding a pencil duh." he replied.
Cutecumber then stepped forward and said, "Then why are you wearing Chinese clothing?" The man looked mad and said, "I'm Chinese duh."
Then Mazialia stepped forward and said, "But you don't sound Chinese." Chess Hat Pennsylvanian Cape Man raised his arms in disbelief. "How many people are gonna question me?" he said exasperatedly.
Emberlyn, raised her hand shyly and said, "But umm... I don't really feel like calling you by that name. It's really long." Octopus Man nodded and said, "Yeah. I'm not calling you by that long ass name."
Chess Hat Pennsylvanian Cape Man aggravatedly put his hand to his head. "Just call me Cape Man or something, just shut up." he responded harshly.
"How about Lance?" Kookakoo asked. "Yeah, Lance is a good name." Octopus Man said, agreeing with Kookakoo.
Chess Hat Pennsylvanian Cape Man made an aggravated gasping sound and said, "Oh my god, can we just get on with this?"
"Oh yeah sorry, go ahead." Octopus Man replied.
Chess Hat Pennsylvanian Cape Man began to speak again. "Ahem. I am the one you must fight to get to move on to the next floor. However, I must warn you that I am incredibly powerful."
Astra just pulled out her pistol and shot him dead.
"Yay we did it!" Octopus Man yelled. Kookakoo busted open a bottle of champaign. "Let's party!" she shouted.
"No no no. That's not how this goes." Chess Hat Pennsylvanian Cape Man said. He wrote himself back into existence with the pencil. He then pointed to himself and yelled, "I WRITE THIS STORY! YOU CAN'T KILL ME THAT EASILY!"
Mazialia shrugged. "So what? My armor literally deflects plot devices. You literally can't do anything to me." Chess Hat Pennsylvanian Cape Man looked to the ground and said, "Yeah.. well.. I.." Floran cut him off and said, "And you're slow. We can just keep killing you over and over again until you just let us go."
"SHUT UP!" Chess Hat Pennsylvanian Cape Man yelled. "I'll just to this then." he said as he upgraded his stats with the pencil. "There, now this story says that I have infinite stats all across the board!" he concluded with a smile.
Astra attempted to pull out her gun again, but this time the bullets just bounced off of him.
Cutecumber looked at Floran with the most adorable expression and said, "I know it's not the best time, but you said you'd forgive me when we entered the tower, but you never did." Floran grabbed her hair in frustration and yelled, "FINE OKAY! JUST SHUT UP!"
"Yay!" Cutecumber shouted.
Brazilian Bug Boy unsheathed his sword, as did Mazialia. "Is everyone ready?" Mazialia shouted.
Floran manifested her energy sword.
Cutecumber held her cucumber sword.
Astra held her gun tightly.
The Number 7 stood there.
And Octopus Man and Kookakoo were drinking tea, menacingly.
Floran turned slightly to see Emberlyn who was visibly terrified. "Don't worry so much, you'll be fine." Floran said reassuringly. Emberlyn nodded.
Mr. Fluffypants hid behind The Number 7 and started crying. "I need reassurance too!" he shouted. 7 was a very good with emotional support.
