It showed darkness as many voices echo through. Caine said "Welcome to the Amazing Digital Circus!" Jax said "Pomni." Caine said "Pomni."
Ragatha said "Pomni." Jax repeated "Pomni." Ragatha repeated "Pomni..." Caine repeated "Pomni!" Ragatha repeated "Pomni" Jax repeated "Pomni." Caine repeated "Pomni!" Ragatha repeated "Pomni!"

Pomni woke up and looked around. She asked "Hello?"

Pomni walked forward a bit then notices her arm abstracting.

Pomni screamed "No! No! No!" She stammered a bit "Caine! Somebody, help me! Please!" Everything tipped and Pomni screamed going into a hole "No! No!"

Pomni looked up to see Caine, Ragatha, and Jax
Caine laughed "Looks like our new friend's already abstracted."

Ragatha chuckled "Well, I guess we're not all cut out for it."

Jax said "I don't even remember her name, honestly."

Pomni continued falling then when the hole closed, many abstracted eyes showed up.

Then her doorbell rings making her wake up with a yelp and she began wailing as she landed on a block then it glitched making her hit the wall then the floor. Pomni picked her head up and groans "Huh?" Pomni looked to see that it was just a dream.

Ragatha was outside Pomni's door "Hey, Pomni. How'd you sleep? Are you still sleeping?" She was about to leave "I'll let you get back to it, if you are." Pomni opened the door. Ragatha said "There she is. Hope you're doin' all right. I know yesterday was a bit of a doozy."

Pomni repeated "'A doozy'."

Ragatha continued "Oh, and don't worry about the whole "abandoning me for the exit" thing. It's perfectly understandable what you were going through at the time, and there's no hard feelings." She laughed "Yer all good."

Pomni looked confused then asked "Huh?

Ragatha looked to the side scared a bit "Uh, well, let's forget about all that. Caine's got a new adventure today, and judging by what he's been teasing, it seems like it's gonna be a fun one."

Everyone joined up to the main area. Caine said "Today's adventure is...Candy Carrier chaos! That's right! The Candy Canyon Kingdom's been robbed of their most valuable resource --" bubble showed a bottle "maple syrup! It's up to you to bring the rotten bandits who stole it to sweet, buttery justice!"

Bubble said "An entire kingdom of candy? Sounds sticky."

Caine agreed "Very sticky, indeed." Bubble said "Sounds [BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!]"

Lava java then looks at Bubble as he was in the middle of a set "...What?" Goopurr shrugged then Pomni saw their tails that have been tied together.

Goopurr said "Uh, Pomni's staring." Java said "Can you not stare Pomni." Goopurr said "Okay." When she was about to say what happened. Caine said "Ah, you knew what happened when you two were apart." Goopurr said "Oh yeah, heh, Jax was so scared when we did that." Caine said "That's why if you two happen to run off to hurt someone, your tails will be tugged back and you'll be grounded to the floor." Goopurr said sarcastically "Gee thanks Caine."

Zooble said "Mmmmmmmmmmm, nope." Then began walking away.
Caine said "Zooble, wait! I-I'm testing out a new AI in this one! It should be 57 times more immersive!"
Jax said "Ooh, a new AI. You don't want to mess with the new AI, Zoobie?"
Zooble said "Uh, yeah, no" then Zooble walked away. Jax shrugs at the camera before looking back at Zooble.

Ragatha said "Whoa, sounds fun. What do you think, Pomni?"
Pomni asked "So, our entire existence here... is just LARPing?"
Ragatha tried to answer "W-Well, uh-"

Caine zips in front of Ragatha. Then shouted "Why are you all just standing there?! The- The Canyon- C-Canyon Candy Kingdom needs you now!"

Caine opens a portal and pushes all the circus members (aside from Zooble) in, with the portal instantly closing behind them and dusting off his hands, going wide eyed again. He then takes a smoking pipe out and blows bubbles from it. Bubble himself comes up to him.
Caine asked offering the pipe to Bubble "Hmm?"
Bubble replied "Nah, thanks. I'm trying to quit."

Majestic music plays as the Candy Canyon Kingdom, adorned with its colorful letters, is shown.
The members are being taken by a carriage by a Gummy Elephant to the castle, where the drawbridge lowers for them and several colorful mannequins cheer for their arrival, as Ragatha waves to them. They reached the castle as they got off.

Ragatha said "Wow, Kinger, check out this castle. It's amazing!"
Kinger said looking at a butterfly "They've even got little candy bugs here. It's so beautiful." "Not really a sweets guy." Lava states.

Goopurr said "Maybe on the way we'll unstick our tails."

Gangle said "Yeah, this place is great!" A mannequin runs near Gangle and points at the castle, knocking her over and breaking her comedy mask.
Mannequin shouted "LOOK!!! It's the princess!!
Gangle whimpered.

A trumpet plays as the princess comes out of her castle.
Princess said "Ah, you must be the brave knights sent to us by God..." She showed a stained glass of Caine "To help us with our recent catastrophe." Ragatha said "That's us, ma'am. Your kingdom's awesome, by the way." She looked around "Love the vibe."
Princess giggled "I like you already."

Ragatha said "Look, Pomni. We're already friends with the princess."
Pomni said "I'm not a child. You don't have to hype me up."

The Princess walks down her stairs, to be closer to the group "I assume you've been informed of your mission. The bandits that robbed us used a modded syrup tanker, so we figured the best way to go head-to-head with them is to give you a war rig of your own."

She motions towards a truck being driven which runs over a yellow mannequin, who yells in pain.
Jax said excitedly "Ooh, violence."
Pomni asked "What time period is this supposed to be, again?"

Princess said holding a key "Here's the key back into the kingdom for when you've secured the goods." She gave it Ragatha "I trust you not to let it fall into the wrong hands?"
Ragatha curtsied "You can count on me, Your Highness."
Princess said "Oh, please. Call me Loo."
Ragatha chuckled as she does finger guns "Will do, Loo."
Jax said "I call shotgun."

Jax runs to the drivers' seat and instantly uses the horn, which makes a goofy, distorted warble.
Jax groaned "Oh, God, is that the horn? Ugh That sucks." He grabbed Gangle "Gangle, you drive." Everyone else enters the back of the truck.

Loolilalu said waving "Farewell, good knights. I have every faith in you!"

The truck starts and drives out the kingdom while honking the distorted horn, with the mannequins cheering them on.

The scene cuts to 3 gummy bandits set up at a campfire.

Max asked "D'you think your mum's gonna pull through if we get all this back to the village?"
Chad replied "I'm sure she will. This much syrup would save hundreds of people."

Gummigoo said "We won't know for sure until we get back to the village. She's a fighter, though. She taught me everything I know." He looks back in binoculars to see the others "Oy! Don't get too comfy, lads. Looks like they've sent someone after us." The three gummy gators went into the tanker then drove off.

The scene cuts to the truck Gangle is driving.
Jax said "All right, Gangle, when we catch up to 'em, I'll jump over, crawl inside, and shoot 'em repeatedly until they're unrecognizable."
Gangle said scared "I feel like that violates some kind of convention."
Jax said annoyed "You're violating my ears with your clap-back. Get driving, driver!"

The camera cuts to Ragatha and Pomni in the back as Goopurr and Java tired to get their tails apart.

Ragatha said "So, Pomni, I'm sure there's some way you could help out here. Maybe when we catch up to them, we could-" Jax interrupts Ragatha "We could be assertive. Like this!" He grabs Goopurr by the throat "Get ready to tuck and roll you two."

Goopurr asked "Tuck and what?" He then threw them making them scream. Ragatha shouted "Jax!" As she looked up worried. The two trucks move apart, stretching Goopurr and Java lava arms leaving their tails entwined.
Jax said "Ah, that's perfect! Just hold that pose. I gotta get something." Goopurr shouted "Jax you [boing]"

Jax said "You know, I swear there was some kind of bazooka back here, but..." he scoffed "I'm having such trouble finding it."

Kinger appears next to Jax, holding a life buoy.
Kinger shouted "Goopurr, Java lava, take this!" He threw the buoy making it hit Java lava in the head "Ow, thanks for the concussion."

Jax finds the bazooka and points it at the two.
Jax said "Here it is. All right, you two, you just stay like that, and I'll cross over you." "What?"

Java's fingers slipped off making them go onto the other truck.

Jax said "Nice going, Java–now I have no bridge."
Max said "Ah-hah! Gotcha!" He tried to grab the two "Me arms aren't long enou-Whoa!"

Max then gets booted by Jax, proceeds to fall off the truck, but is able to grab the rope from the buoy. He then proceeds to ski on the terrain and does a taunt to dodge a rock.

The camera cuts to Gummigoo and the Chad driving the truck.
Gummigoo said "This lot's trouble. Let's see how their rig does on those rocks around there."
Chad said trying to grab the shift "Me arms aren't short enough to shift the gear."

Gummigoo shifts the gear himself to "Rocky Road", causing the truck to extend its wheels as it heads to the rockier terrain. Max notices this and proceeds to do multiple taunts in order to dodge all of the rocks. It then cuts back to Jax who takes notice of this.
Jax cheered "Ooh, now we're cookin'! Hey! Ribbons! Up and at 'em!"
Gangle said "I don't think we-"
Jax said annoyed "Aren't you supposed to be submissive and agreeable? Move it!" The truck shakes around causing everyone except Jax to go flying around.

The camera cuts to the bandit truck.
Gummigoo pokes his head out window, Chad then rests his head on Gummigoo's back "Oh, these fellas just don't know when to quit, do they?" Gummigoo noticed Max taunt dodging in the back "Hey! Quit muckin' about and get back up here!"
Max said "Oh, yeah. Right."

The camera cuts to Ragatha and Kinger who both haves knives in their heads.
Ragatha groaned "Everyone all right?" Kinger said "Can you repeat the question? I couldn't hear you over the knives."
Jax said "Hey, Gangle. You should ram into 'em."
Gangle asked confused "What?"
Ragatha shouted "You should NOT ram them! Goopurr and Java are still on board!" She get pushed by Jax.

Jax said "Do it. It'll be epic."
Ragatha asked "Why are there so many knives back here?!"
Jax said "Do it, or I'll tell Ragatha about the figurine thing."
Gangle yelled "Guh!" Then she laughed nervously.

The camera cuts to the two still holding onto the truck as it gets rammed.

Goopurr shouted "Are you guys trying to kill us?!"

Gummigoo said "These guys are whack jobs! Let's give them some of this."

Gummigoo pulls a lever which causes spikes to appear on the truck.

Jax said disappointed "Aww, no more ramming? Guess I HAVE to tell Ragatha about the thing now."

Gangle poked her head out "What?!"

Max perked up "Oh. You're still up here." Goopurr asked "Guuuuuuys?

Kinger shouted "Goopurr, Java, take this!"

Kinger throws a ship anchor over the truck making the two duck.

"Huh, Nice core strength bud."

Jax asked "Uh, hey, Kinger, is that rope attached to anything?"

Kinger replied "Uhhhh. I don't know. Let me check." He goes back inside the truck.

The anchor stops and forces the two trucks side by side as the truck Jax is on gets thrown off the cliff.

They both get that answer in the form of their tanker ramming into the bandits' one. A spike pierces through Ragatha's chest. Gummigoo takes the wheel and steers their tanker and the heroes' in the opposite direction. The heroes' tanker falls off a cliff.
Gangle poked her head out looking around shocked confused "W-W-What? Wha?"
Jax said "I blame YOU for this."

And SPLOOSH! They land in a fudge river below.
Meanwhile, the bandits' tanker, with the two still on the roof, smack into a cliff... Or more precisely, smack into a cliff start glitching out. Goopurr and Java yelped and Gummigoo fall off as the tanker is propelled into the air.

Outside The Map, Into The Database

Gummigoo screamed falling downward. The farther down he goes, the darker the area around him gets. He collides with a few floating blue teapots until he finally lands. Picking himself up, he checks his surroundings. This new area is a darkened corridor with a blue and black floor and wall.
Gummigoo asked "Lads?" Nothing. He proceeds to walk forward. Then asked while his voice began shaking "Hello? Anyone?" After a moment, he reaches a larger room. This one housing lifeless NPCs, some of which are slightly T-posing. One of those T-posing NPCs is of himself. Creeped out, he slowly steps forward to examine his T-posing self. Then, he steps back, more disturbed. He stands there silently staring at his T-posing self face to face, eye to eye, his worry reaching astronomical heights and his mind racing with never-ending questions.

Nearby, Goopurr and Java lava fell to the ground.

Goopurr groaned out "Oh my back." "Goo, kindly get off me."

Goopurr got off. They looked around to see where they are. "Huh?" Gummigoo asked "Where are we? W-What's all this?" "F$%@, " Java groans as he gets up "And my backs sore too from my workout, nice going Caine...speaking of." Java looks around "Guess we made it under the map."

Gummigoo asked ""Map"?" He sees that they weren't there with the others "Why aren't you or any of your crew up here?"
Goopurr said "I'm not sure myself. Because we're not, NPCs?"
Gummigoo asked ""NPCs"? What are you on about? ...What are you people?" He looks back at the NPCs, then down at his hands. "...What am I?" He looks back up at the NPCs then he didn't see the one person "Where's Mum?" "Don't know, maybe she isn't- hey wait a minute." Java then leans down to look a Gummigoo more closely "Why do we have a similar facial structure?" "To who?" "Oi Goo! Is it just me or do me and this bandit look similar." Java shouts

Goopurr said "That's cause...he's...you know what forget it."

Gummigoo asked "Shouldn't she be here with everyone else?" His voice shakes "I can't even remember her face. Did she ever have a face? Was anything ever real?"

Goopurr said "Okay, w-w-wait. Don't- Don't think about that. I-I-I think there... must be a way to launch ourselves back up. Right?"

Goopurr takes a few steps forward as Gummigoo begins hyperventilating.

She sees the fudge monster. Then turned to Gummigoo. He said "I want you both to tell me exactly what I am."

Goopurr and Java looked at him in nervousness.

Meanwhile, the rest of the heroes have landed in the fudge river. Their tanker pops back up to the surface.
Ragatha groaned out "Is everybody okay?"
Gangle said "No..."
Ragatha said "Oh, man. Poor Goopurr and Java. I hope they're all right." Kinger popped up.

Jax said ""Poor Goopurr and Java"? How about "poor us"? We're one tanker away from being Augustus Glooped!"

Suddenly, a fudge monster appears from below.
Fudge Monster said "Oh, what's that? Do my eyes deceive me? A delicious gift from within the kingdom gates? Don't mind if I do." He picks the tanker up and raises it to his mouth.
Ragatha shouted "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, buddy! We're not food! We're not candy! We're none of that! You don't want to eat us!"
Fudge Monster said "Wh- You're not candy? How am I expected to eat something that's not made of candy? I'm sorry." He sets the tanker back down.

Kinger said "Everyone always seems to miss the big, gloopy monsters."
Jax asked "Who are you, anyway?"
Fudge Monster said "I am the Fudge. I used to live within the kingdom walls, but I was banished by that rotten princess after I ate too many of the delicious townfolk. Oh, they were so delicious. Sometimes I can hear them... calling to me."
The screams that can be heard indicate something else...

Ragatha said "Oh, God. That just sounds like murder."
Fudge Monster said "Is it really murder if it's delicious? Answer me that."
Jax said "You make a great point."
Ragatha said "Uh, no, bad point!"
Jax asked "Why don't you leave this to me before I start thinking your hair looks like licorice?"
Ragatha shouted while holding her hair "Jax!"
Kinger said "Oh, wow, it kind of does."
Ragatha shouted "Stop!"

Jax said "Well, Mr. Fudge, you seem like an upstanding guy with real noble goals."
Fudge Monster said "Oh, I'm not. If you knew what I did in my free time- Oh, you'd be SICKENED!"
Jax cleared his throat "As I was saying. I happen to know a way into the kingdom walls..." He holds up the key he swindled in secret from Ragatha. "if you'd be willing to help us out in return."
Ragatha began to ask "Hey, when did you-"
Jax said "Shut up, licorice hair."
Kinger said "Here, hide it with this." He places a bucket on Ragatha's head.

Fudge Monster said "Oh, you must be some kind of master of unlocking things, come to free me from my outdoor prison."
Jax said "That's me. All we need you to do is help us bring some dirty bandits to justice."

Without warning, the bandit's tanker falls into the river. Max and Chad pop up.
Max said "I saw the reaper wink at me..."
Ragatha lifts the bucket off her head, having missed the tanker landing "Wait, w-w-what just happened?"

Back outside of the map, Goopurr grabs a large lollipop and attempts to wedge a wheel of a third tanker, but the stick breaks.
Goopurr nervously asked "Uhh... Y-You wanna try helping out at all?" She laughed nervously "Or are you still..." She looks back. Gummigoo is sitting solemnly on the ground, not moving. Goopurr and Java lava walked over to him. Goopurr asked "Hey... You okay?"
Gummigoo replied "No." "Well, honestly I wouldn't be okay if my whole world was a lie."

Goopurr asked "You wanna talk about it?"
Gummigoo asked "What is there to talk about?"
Goopurr said "I don't just want to leave you here."
Gummigoo said "Why not? I don't matter in the slightest. I'm nothing. My life, my memories... My friends... It's all fake."
Goopurr and Java sat down next to him.

Goopurr said "This may seem weird, but... I think I know the feeling. Well, m-maybe not... the e-exact feeling, but... Feeling like you're nothing is... kind of normal. I mean, people even feel like that in the world I came from. But... Y-You still care about your buddies up there, don't you? I'm sure they still care about you."

Gummigoo said "What does it matter? What do we have when you people leave? We're just obstacles... created to be defeated and forgotten." "Well..." Java started "...Alright, Im not one for words as I am for my strength, but you don't have to be alone in this... ya can come with us to the circus, sure its full of dumb$#@!, but those dumb#$%@ well treat ya like family." Java spoke,patting Gummigoo on the back as he stood up "Except Jax, hes just a @#$%."

Gummigoo asked while shaking his head "Why are you trying to cheer me up? How does this benefit you at all?"
Goopurr said "...I guess we just don't want you to feel like you're nothing. We don't want anybody to feel like that."

Gummigoo said "But I'm not even a real person. Would I even belong?" "Heh! How would I know, I don't belong myself." Java shrugs, putting his hands in his pockets "Never stoped me though." Goopurr said "And we could use a friend."

Gummigoo repeated ""A friend."" He gets up. "You're strange little characters. Suppose I could give it a try. All I ask is that we don't tell the lads about this. They're a couple of bright-eyed yobbos, and I don't want to drag 'em down with me." "Sure." Goopurr asked "What's your name, by the way?"
Gummigoo replied "Gummigoo."
Goopurr said "Wow, that's... just about as silly as our names."
Gummigoo asked "What'd you have in mind in terms of getting us out of here?" "I dunno, maybe I could chuck ya both out of here." Goopurr said "No that won't work. We won't reach it. Maybe some kind of glitch with the truck's collisions? I'm not really sure how we could..." She looks around and spots a few large blocks nearby. A minute later, the three are back in the tanker. Goopurr is at the wheel "All right, I'm just throwing stuff at the wall here. If this doesn't work, we could try something else." Gummigoo said "You're the experts here." "Oh, we're not." Java states

Goopurr said "Alright, let's see if this works." She starts the tanker up. The three blocks are underneath it and start fidgeting like mad.
Goopurr said "I just realized, this might be a little vio-"
And just like that, the truck is launched into the air. It makes its way past the floating blue teapots as it heads for the surface. They held on tight to the seats. They smiled at Gummigoo as he smiled back. They continued going to the surface.

Meanwhile, the remaining heroes and bandits are riding on top of their fudge friend as he makes his way across the river.
Jax said "Gotta say, this is a lot more anti-climactic than I was hoping it'd be."

Gangle asked "What were you hoping for?"
Jax replied "You know, like, one big, final battle. Bloodshed. Death. Chaos! Whatever."
Ragatha asked Chad and Max "Are you sure they disappeared? It wasn't that they fell off, or something?"
Chad stammered a reply "I can't say for sure, but, uh, yes, definitely."
Max agreed "It's not like the boss to vanish with a Cheetah and lizard. Very unusual."
Ragatha said "Well, that's... concerning."
Kinger said muffled due to the bucket being on his head "Well, if worst comes to worst, we could always ask Caine to find them."
Ragatha said "I'm more worried pomni's having another horrible experience. She still seems really upset about what happened yesterday. I don't think she really likes me that much." As she said this the two tired to get out but went back to their original position.

Kinger said "It's a lot for anybody to go through. Don't take it too personally. I remember how long it took for you to adjust."
Ragatha said "O-Oh. Yeah. I'm surprised you remember that." Kinger asked with his normal voice after the bucket is briefly lifted up "Remember what?"

A distant explosion is heard. Jax and gangle hear it then turned to the sound. Jax steals the binoculars from Gangle to see the second tanker flying out of the river... And heading straight in their direction.
Jax asked "Do you guys have a second truck that flies?"
Chad replied "Yeah. Oh, wait. No, we don't. No, not at all."

The tanker smacks down onto the monster's head.
Fudge Monster groaned "Down I go." He sinks down unconscious. Gummigoo, Goopurr and Java exit. Goopurr starts to vomit.

Gummigoo Laughed "Couldn't keep it in, could-" He starts to vomit as well, then shook off the rest. "Haha! $%@!ing softie-" Then Java proceeds to vomit. Goopurr looked at the fudge then wiped it off her paw "Uh, what's all this stuff?"
Ragatha ran towards them "Goopurr! Java! Are you okay? W-What happened?" "Uhh, we're fine, just...gonna lie down." Java then passes out. Goopurr said "we, uh -- we made a new friend." Gummigoo makes his way to his two compadres.
Max said "Boss! Where have you been? We got fudged."
Gummigoo said "You don't wanna know." He hugs his friends. "Good to see you, lads." Gangle and Kinger depart.
Gangle asked "Why are there two bad-guy trucks?"

Kinger goes over to the duplicate tanker and it starts to empty out syrup.
Kinger said "This one's full of syrup, too."
Gummigoo said "Oh, yeah. Suppose it is. Well, uh, you don't suppose my mates here could, uh, take this one back to the village, could they?"
Ragatha said "I guess. Since there's two of them, there'd be no real harm." Nearby, Jax is seething in the river.
Jax said "I'm so unbelievably disappointed right now..."
Ragatha said "Well, maybe there'll be "blood, death, and violence" in the next adventure."
Jax said sarcastically "Ha-ha-ha-ha. How wholesome." Goopurr walks over with Gummigoo "Oh, yeah. Uh, this is Gummigoo. He's gonna come back to the circus with us." Ragatha said "Oh! Uh, i-is that allowed?"
Goopurr said "His reality was kind of... completely shattered? I feel like it was the least we could offer him. Opposed to just leaving him behind." Ragatha chuckled "Hey. That's good of you, Goopurr."
Jax groaned "UGH! Let's take this DUMB truck to the DUMB kingdom, I guess!"

Back at the kingdom, everyone is cheering for the return of the heroes and their maple syrup.
Princess Loo said "Thanks to you brave knights, our kingdom will once again thrive. I'm sure it was no easy task."
Jax said still angry "You have no idea."
The portal back to the circus opens.
Princess Loo said "Farewell, brave knights. Have fun executing that bandit fella!" As she said that Goopurr and Java jumped a bit.
Goopurr said dishonestly "Yes. That is what we're doing." She gave a double thumbs up. "Uhhh, sure."

As gummigoo did the same. At that moment, a distant explosion is heard. Jax looks down at the key he's holding as a mischievous grin widens on his face.
Jax said "Oh, hey! Maybe I didn't leave the gate unlocked for nothing after all."
As the rumbling got closer
Ragatha panicked "Uh, what? I-I thought he was dead! You still did that?!"
Princess Loo said "Okay, wait." The Fudge Monster chuckles as he nears the kingdom. "Y-You did what, now?"

The gang quickly make their way through the portal as the monster nears more.

Jax said quickly "Well, love to help you again sometime! Bye!"

The gang arrive back at the circus.
Caine greeted "Welcome back, my little hard-shelled hamburgers!"
Gummigoo looked around "So, this is the circus, huh? I could get used to this."
Caine snapped "Oop! Looks like one of these guys made it through." He snaps his fingers...
Gummigoo was about to ask "Wait, wha-" then he got turned into confetti making Goopurr's fur and Java perk up in shock. Not realizing they got their tails separated.

Goopurr asked in shock "W-W-Wait, wha--?"
Caine said "I know you guys love your NPCs, but if I start losing track of who's a human and who's an NPC, who knows... what could happen..." He says as he acts like this may have happened before.
With the hopes of giving Gummigoo a new life rendered all for naught, Goopurr starts laughing maniacally while Java was rethinking his choices.

Caine said "Welp, I'm gonna go drink water! It's been a while since I've done that. He leaves. Zooble reappears "Sheesh, I thought he'd never leave.
Ragatha said as she walked over to the two, who has stopped their shock "I'm really sorry about that, Goopurr, Java. At least you tried. You know, he might be back in a future adventure. I know Caine sometimes likes to reuse NPCs."

Zooble walks over and places a hand on Ragatha's shoulder "Got everything ready."
Ragatha said "Hey... You at least wanna join us for Kaufmo's funeral?" Pomni asked "Huh?" Ragatha replied "We like to have a little funeral service to remember the people who abstract." An upset Jax walks off. "This one just got pushed around a bit with pomni's arrival and everything."
Kinger said "It's the least we can do to honor their memory."

The gang minus Jax have gathered around to hold a funeral for their fallen friend, Kaufmo. On top of a chest lay two groups of flowers on the left and right. In the center is a framed photo of Kaufmo. Ragatha walks up to speak in remembrance.
Ragatha said "Oh, man. I always think I'm prepared for these things, but then you set up the picture and, well..." Her voice begins to quiver. "I'm already breaking."

As the funeral goes on, Ragatha continues saying her words in honor of their late friend. Soon, Gangle holds up a drawing of her and Kaufmo, after which, she breaks down in tears. Next, Kinger says what he has to say, and even Zooble speaks to remember Kaufmo. Goopurr and Java do their piece as they remember the good times they had. Finally, Pomni silently watches all of this as she remembers her nightmare from earlier, while also remembering that, as rough as things seem now, she has friends that care about her and are always willing to help her out of trouble, no matter what happens.

Credits roll.
