"Oh for goodness sake..." Mumbo muttered. "What's wrong with this now?" He looked at his contraption, not seeing anything wrong with it. He looked through every single space he could. He flicked the lever for the hundredth time. Everything was fine when he tested it!

Mumbo leaned on the side of the contraption. In his test world it worked. Just a few minutes ago, it worked. Grian hadn't come anywhere near it, so theoretically it should work. He even got Iskall to check his work in the test world. He said it would be fine.

"I checked everything I could!" Mumbo sighed. He flicked the lever again, hoping it would magically work. His eyebrows furrowed as he broke the wall near the lever. As he looked behind, he stared at the problem with no expression. For 5 minutes.

"I didn't connect the lever to the contraption." He muttered to himself. If Mumbo didn't like his head functioning, he would have slammed it into the wall.

He stepped back, and tested the machine. It worked perfectly. He then heard fireworks go off some distance away.

"Hi, Mumbo! What are you working on?" Grian asked, landing and stepping closer to the contraption.

"Grian, wait... step back... nO-"
