As Mr. Suit tried to back away from the criminal in fear, he quickly attempted to touch the circle again. He yelled, "I SUMMON A..." but before he could finish his sentence, the criminal cut his hands off with indescribable speed.
Mr. Suit's eyes widened in fear and in pain. The blue hue of the magical circle faded, and it disappeared.
Since the God of Darkness was killed, the group started waking up. "What happened?" Cutecumber asked groggily. "I don't know. And where is Octopus Man?" Brazilian Bug Boy replied.
"Right here." Octopus Man responded. Brazilian Bug Boy looked down to see Octopus Man's head peeking out of his shirt. Brazilian Bug Boy screamed in surprise.
Octopus Man jumped out of Brazilian Bug Boy's shirt. "Hey, that's the person that led us to Dinkleflop earlier." he said, pointing at the figure.
Everyone looked over. "Yeah, that's right." Floran responded.
Dinkleflop's eyes narrowed in anger. "There you are." he mumbled angrily. He charged towards the criminal, but without even looking behind her, she stretched out her arm as a sign for him to stop. A strong gust of wind was created by the force of her moving her arm.
Dinkleflop quickly stopped in his tracks. "You're the reason I'm here right now. You're the reason I have a party hat strapped to my hand and a mask stuck to my mouth." he said bitterly.
Taking the opportunity, Mr. Suit started screaming. The criminal lowered her hand, and the group took a few steps back in fear.
"YOU MADE ME DO THIS!" Mr. Suit yelled. "OH, GREAT GOD OF THE TRIUNE! BLESS ME WITH A FRACTION OF YOUR POWER!" he concluded.
Suddenly, a red fiery aura surrounded him, and a massive creature grew from the aura. It was red and see-through, but it resembled the giant little boy.
The sky started to crack and fall apart, revealing riffs in the spacetime. The creature roared and the sky continued to fall apart.
The criminal thrusted her dagger out forward, and the mere shockwave of the thrust was enough to cause the creature to shatter into pieces.
Mr. Suit looked up at the falling pieces of the creature in pure terror. His aura faded and the criminal opened her cloak, to reveal the party hats she had stolen. She threw one at him and it pierced his chest. He let out a cry of pain, and he disappeared as if he never existed.

Octopus Man fell on his knees and started crying. Brazilian Bug Boy looked down at him and asked, "Why are you crying? You wanted that guy to win?"
Octopus Man shook his head and replied, "No. I just realized our story is getting way too serious." Kookakoo then gasped in shocked and fell down as well. "If it gets too serious, there could actually be stakes, and even worse, a coherent storyline!" she shouted.
The criminal closed her cloak again, and prepared to run away, but Dinkleflop grabbed onto her cloak before she did so. "Not this time!" he shouted.
The criminal raised her dagger, and sliced off the piece of her cloak Dinkleflop was holding on to. She then backed away. She then spoke in a monotone voice, saying, "That man has been summoning creatures and hiring people to keep the population down. He summoned dragons that destroyed my city. I have been trying to defeat him since, and stealing party hats was the only way I knew how."
Dinkleflop backed away and looked upset. The criminal's eyes were still invisible due to her bangs, but it didn't matter as she was relatively emotionless anyway.
"You still inadvertently made it so I'm stuck wearing this party hat and mask for the rest of my life." Dinkleflop said angrily.
The criminal put away her dagger and lifted the sleeve of her free arm, revealing that it was horribly disfigured and purple. "You remember Xanthe? She permanently disfigured my body with grape juice fire. Why do you think I cover my eyes and so much of my body?"
Dinkleflop looked down and said, "Your name?" The criminal faced him and replied, "Kat."
Dinkleflop sighed and said, "Kat, you're free to go." Kat turned around, and within a split second, she disappeared.
Lusha smiled with her sharp teeth and patted Dinkleflop on the back. "Good job. Now you want me to teleport you back to your home planet?"
Dinkleflop nodded. "Yeah, I guess so. And thanks again for saving me earlier." he replied. Octopus Man and Kookakoo looked furious. "LEAVE ALREADY SO WE CAN TELL JOKES AGAIN!" they yelled simultaneously.
Dinkleflop smiled and said, "Okay okay. I'll go." Lusha quickly teleported him away, and returned within a few seconds. She put her hands in her pockets and said, "There we go."
Just then, the man with cardboard armor appeared. He was blonde and had bright blue eyes. "WHAT JUST HAPPENED HERE!" he yelled.
Kookakoo grabbed her hair in frustration. "No, not more storyline!" she complained. Octopus Man stood up straight and said, "Wait. I can sense goofiness on this guy."
Floran walked up to the man and shouted, "We just defeated a super villain. And who are you?"
The man looked irritated and replied, "My name is Pepperoni."
"Goofiness confirmed." Octopus Man said.
"I am 01, also known as the best soldier of this city!" Pepperoni shouted. Brazilian Bug Boy laughed and walked up to him, saying, "Well you were working for a crooked murderer."
Pepperoni gasped and yelled, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN!" Brazilian Bug Boy simply shrugged. "We killed your boss because he was trying to commit population control."
"YOU WHAT? I DON'T BELIEVE YOU FOR A SECOND!" Pepperoni shouted. He then stomped on the ground, and a large, folded piece of cardboard came bouncing in. It was barking like a dog, and it had teeth like one as well.
"This is my pet, Cardboardman93. He'll eat you alive!" Pepperoni shouted.
"Cardboardman93? That's his name?" Cutecumber asked.
"It's his gamer tag. He's a streamer and has millions of subscribers." Pepperoni replied. "ANYWAY DIE!" he yelled.
