............…..
Back to Flint and his party, they've reached the second floor and are up against the 8 elders. The elders only fight one at a time but they're extremely dangerous, one wrong move and you can get your ribs broken. Chuck is holding his chest sitting at a corner, he's got blood on his chest with a healing herb beside him. Chuck heals slowly.
On the third floor, the boss monster suddenly moves. It stands on its feet and cracks its knuckles and neck, it turns staring at the entrance.
Aella is up against one of the elders, she takes a stance lowering her center of gravity. The elder leaps towards her as Aella handstands and kicks him in the gut, the elder turns to dust. You don't need to fight them, it's either you hit them first or counter them. That's the rule on this floor, they beat all the 8 elders as energy orbs fly into them. They rest a bit before heading to the third floor with the boss waiting for them.
The quartet finally reach the third floor, they look from left to right but see no one. A voice fills the room, "Final Lesson." then something falls from the roof, *BOOOOOM* dust covers the room. The dust clears as the boss walks forward and takes a fighting pose, "The Master." He starts walking towards them quartet.

Chuck turns to Flint, "Any ideas?" He sees The Master to have a dangerous aura.
Flint shakes his head, "We just have to wing it and hope for the best. This floor's pattern is too hard to figure out. Just don't die." The boss leaps towards them and makes a dropkick *BOOOOOOM* the group dodge.
Aku charges at the boss, she throws multiple punches at the boss but he blocks it all. "Seriously?!" Aku jumps back as the boss' punch grazes her.
Chuck jumps and sits on the boss's shoulders, Flint yells. "WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING?!"
The boss tries to reach for Chuck but Aella punches boss in the gut, Chuck is trying to hold on. "I DON'T KNOW!" he starts to punch the boss on the head while trying not to fall of.
Flint runs behind the boss, he jumps and kicks the boss on his back. The boss is sent sliding about 3 meters, he raises his hand and grabs Chuck. He pulls him off about to slam Chuck's face in the ground but Aku hits the boss' elbow making him drop Chuck.
They engage in a back and forth continuously, one keeps the boss destructed while the other hits him as hard as possible. Finally the boss bursts with an aura, the sky darkens as the third floor is blown away showing the entire land.
Flint covers himself as the wind blows, "This is it guys, it's the second phase." The boss starts to crackle with lightening, it throws a fireball at Chuck.
Chuck's eyes open wide, "WHY ME?!" *BOOOOM* He jumps out of the way at the last minute, "Why's he using EP?!" This baffles the group. They don't know how to fight in a situation like this. The boss raises his hand as an aura covers him, the boss charges at Flint.
Flint raises his hand to block the coming attack, then he hears a voice.
[….You can do this. Look, observe, study, there is always a weakness.]
Flint is surprised but then he lowers his hands, staring at the monster coming. Time seems to move slowly as the boss is only 5 meters ahead of him, he sees the boss' muscle movement, step he's taking. A silver light glows in Flint's eye then the ribs of the boss suddenly glows red.
Flint dodges out of the way rolling to a stop, "Everyone! Attack his ribs!"
[NEW SKILL ACQUIRED: FIGHTING INSTINCT: This skill shows POTENTIAL weaknesses of targets. This skill has been moved to Hidden Effect. Condition to activate is in combat.]
Aella runs towards the boss, she slides on her back then raises her feet kicking the boss. Aku runs behind the boss, she punches him in his back as he stumbles forward. Chuck is waiting before him, he jabs his ribs continuously that his hands are like a blur.
The boss stumbles backwards and is now very slow, the quartet now move like blurs in the room hitting the boss from all directions. Flint appears before the boss and punches him in the face throwing the boss over to the courtyard. Lightening crackles in the sky then vanishes with the bright sky showing.

END]
The boss turns into energy orbs, the party slumps down to relax. A doorpost appears before them, the sand people start to appear going back to training.
[NOTICE: EP lock condition has been lifted. All skills and hidden effects are now usable.]
Chuck's ear perks up, he stands on his feet. "MUAHAHAHAHAHA, THE CHUCK IS BACK!" He makes fireballs and fires it at the sand people, they die like bugs with energy orbs being left behind. Aku shakes her head looking at Chuck but she and the other go around picking the orbs, they leave some for Chuck.
After hours of continuous burnin- grinding levels, the finally enter the door. They appear in the path again, now with an additional door to floor 3, they turn to look ahead with energy.
Chuck leads, "Let's see what's ahead. The next floor is going to be easy with how much levels we got." He walks with pride, the trio follow assured of victory.
The space around them turns into a bright light as they appear in another place, they all have dumb faces. Before them is a lava level, with lava monsters scattered across the entire floor and a giant nest at the top of a mountain at the center.
Chuck turns back, "Alright! It's a great time for a vacation!" The trio follow him with the same energy, "Yeah!" and they go back to the path.

Back in universe 1, Wanwansi just got to his feet then a screen appears beside him with a picture of Twenny holding a plushie. Wanwansi looks at it and smiles, he taps the answer and the call gets connected. Twenny's voice comes from it, "Sorry about that."
Wanwansi grins, "Ho, I wasn't expecting you to intervene like that."
Twenny sighs, "Yeah, I had no choice. No one can stand up to you in a hand-to-hand combat."
Wanwansi smirks, "You've got that right." He turns into a slim human with ripped muscles though he has black hair and white eyes. "I intended on leaving myself open sooner or later, hope you enjoyed their growth."
Twenny replies, "I did. Take care ya big oaf." She chuckles.
Wanwansi laughs, "You too dolly," he taps a button as the call ends. "Now then, what to do?" he walks off as a door opens and closes behind him.
