Chapter 12: Tales From Gi-Gi’s Cafe
In the dimly lit room of Oolong, a fierce battle was unfolding. The dark winged fiend and Nature’s Sentinel clashed swords in an intense dance of sparks and steel. With each strike they exchanged, their blades left traces of nicks upon one another until finally the fiend lost his grip on his weapon.
With a swift move that spoke volumes about his training as Nature's Sentinel, he used his own vibrant green cutlass to toss back the ion sword towards its owner – not for mercy but to continue this electrifying duel.
"Watch out!" The Sentinel warned sarcastically as he aimed a lethal blow at his opponent who barely managed to dodge it in time.
Their fight took them closer to a window concealed by heavy curtains which accidentally brushed open when backed up against it by the relentless attacks from the fiend whose form began distorting with wisps of smoke seeping out from beneath him.
Chuck Jr., quick-witted as ever noticed this anomaly and wasted no time exploiting it. "Sunlight isn't your best friend now is it?" He quipped pulling open the curtain fully causing sunlight flooding into the room turning their monstrous foe into nothing more than ashes scattered across Oolong's floor.
Oolong roared as a tentacle jetted out of his mouth and he transformed into a giant squid and declared triumphantly “You’ve dealt with the best now here’s the rest!”
As Nature’s Sentinel refocused his glance from the ashes of his defeated foe scatter on Oolong's floor to the giant squid, across town Charlie was flipping through vinyl records in FYE at the mall.
Wendy got entranced by Lou Reed's unmistakable voice to a cowbell beat playing through store speakers. She asked curiously, “what is that song, and do you have a copy of the album that it is on?”
“I’ll check the ‘L’ section under classic rock, if not we can ask the store’s AI system if we have it in storage,” replied Charlie.
As these peaceful moments unfolded inside FYE outside Gi Gi’s Cafe’ Banty Jinx was gearing up for confrontation with Nora and Jas amidst college parade chaos!
“Are you not having a good time?” Asks Jasper.
“I WAS READING POETRY F-!!!”screams Banty as she is interrupted by Nora.
“Hey, let’s not be mean” said the Demigoddess.
Just then music filled air drawing attention away momentarily giving Nora the perfect opportunity to whisper a plan quickly into Jasper’s ear before both vanished leaving behind echoes laughter around dumbfounded Banty!
Chapter 13: Dance of Defiance
In Oolong's room, chaos ensues as he takes on his squid form. He reaches out with one tentacle to grasp Chuck Jr., holding him high while using his other limbs to fend off Nature’s Sentinel. The fierce battle between them destroys the room and tosses the captive teenage girls around in the process. Nature’s Sentinel tries his best to ensure they don't get hurt while clashing his green cutlass against Oolong’s writhing appendages.
"I'll make sure turning you into the cult will more than compensate for those wasted nine million pescos!" roars Oolong.
"Gahhhhh!!!"
Nature’s Sentinel leaps through the air, chopping away at each tentacle until he stands on one near Chuck Jr.'s captor limb. With two swift cuts, he severs both remaining tentacles before diving down to catch Chuck Jr.
What remains of Oolong – now just a squid head – screams "Have at you!" before transforming into a giant blue Oni wielding a caveman club menacingly. "Ready to go clubbing?" he taunts as he approaches our heroes.
Just then, Chuck Jr. remembers Nora packed spirit can-can dancer summoning scrolls for emergencies like this one! Breaking open a scroll, a woman dressed in traditional 1800s attire appears and high-kicks her way towards the Oni's groin, knocking him to the ground.
Meanwhile, back at FYE in the mall, Charlie searches for Lou Reed's album. Frustrated by not finding it under L in classic rock or punk sections, she decides to resort to Plan B: asking Pluto for help.
"Pluto," she says. "Do you know that song by Lou Reed with lots of cowbell and lyrics like 'watch out for Charlie’s girl'? And which album is it on?"
A yellow floppy dog-eared face appears on-screen and replies, "I do indeed, Miss Sauveur! The song is called 'Charlie's Girl' from the album Coney Island Baby." He starts providing more details but gets interrupted by an impatient Charlie.
"Do we have Coney Island Baby in stock?" she asks quickly.
"Unfortunately not, Miss Sauveur. However, we do have Lou Reed's Greatest Hits which includes that very song."
Back on campus after the parade and confrontation Nora and Jasper are determined to find Dean of Student Services so they can finally return the deed.
Chapter 14: A Pig In Peril and Peculiar Pursuits
In Oolong's room, the shapeshifting scoundrel writhes in pain from his severely injured privates. With each agonizing moment, he reverts back to his true pig form and squeals shrilly, "Rest in peace Toriyama!" Nature’s Sentinel stands guard over Oolong with sword drawn.
Suddenly, there's a thunderous crash above them as a Hughes XF-11 plane tears away the ceiling like peeling bark off a tree before vanishing into the distance – followed by an echoing explosion.
Meanwhile at FYE in the mall, Wendy decides against buying Lou Reed’s greatest hits for herself but considers it as an introduction for her friends.
Kid Vid chimes in enthusiastically saying “I could get into him too! And hey - we can share that one song on your Walkman.”
Charlie smiles warmly at their budding friendship and offers them both an even better deal: “You know what? You guys have been such awesome customers; I'll give it to you for free!”
Back within the labyrinthine halls of college’s main office building, Nora and Jasper dash around searching for Dean of Student Services. Along their frantic journey they encounter fans who shower them with praise while foes toss snide remarks their way – all too quickly to ask anyone for directions!
