Chapter Text
Seeing everyone back to normal, Kalim tears up and cries out, "GUUUYS! I missed you all SO much! I'm glad you're okay! It's so good to see you again! Thanks for coming to our rescue."
Grim launches himself into Kalim's arms, teary eyed, and cries, "Waaah! It took you long enough to rescue us! I couldn't move, I couldn't talk... I was just a rigid wooden puppet... I seriously thought it was over for me!"
"Mm. It must've been so scary for you two. Don't worry, you're okay now!" Kalim says.
"See? If I wasn't actually going to quit being Playful Land's manager… It would make no sense for me to release all these dangerous individuals-you three included," Ernesto says.
"'Dangerous individuals'? Really?" Jack responds.
And Lilia says, "Ernesto came over to our cage a short while ago and released us from the spell."
"I inquired as to his reason for freeing us, and his answer was rather surprising," Jade says.
"Yeah?" Ace says.
"Yes! That's precisely what I was getting to," Ernesto dramatically says, "How could any compassionate person condone this heinous, atrocious, horrific park? Wouldn't you agree, Gino?"
Gino nods along.
Ortho says with a frown, "Says the guy who was helping to run that heinous, atrocious, horrific park until a scant few seconds ago…"
"To prevent any more tragic puppet transformations and punish the greedy evildoers who threaten world peace…" Ernesto says and smirks, "...not to mention to express my IMMENSE gratitude to my former employers… I'm gonna tear the whole park down and ensure it never opens its doors again!"
"You're gonna WHAT now?!" Ace says, shocked.
"A-Are you sure that's advisable?" Ortho questions.
"Positive. I just dispelled the park's magic," Ernesto says. And it would also be payback for our former boss for what he did."
Gino nods in agreement and anger.
"What did he do?" Trey asks, couriouslty.
"He took Sereianna from us, that's what he did," Ernesto answers, upset, "He tried to use her as a bargaining chip to keep me and Gino in line, but Sereianna miraculously escaped and ended up at your school."
"He what?" Jasper asks, shocked.
"How awful," Briar says, shocked.
"So then, you really do know Sereia," Kalim says.
"Yep. They're my brothers," Sereia happily says.
"Brothers?!" The guys exclaim in shock.
"Well… um… kind of…" Sereia says.
"How? No offense Angelfish, but you're a little doll," Floyd asks.
"Allow me to explain," Ernesto says.
Then tells the story, "Years ago, there's an old toy maker named Georgio Joy Foulworth, my grandfather. He made a beautiful doll and used his unique magic and potions to make the lovely doll come to life and showed that she can perform magic. He dreamed that one day she will attend school and live life like a real girl." Then sadly says, "Sadly, he passed away, and so I've decided to raise her as my sister. And then we met Gino. All three of us become companions, using our talents and magic Sereianna developed slowly to earn money. We ended up meeting our boss and became the manager of Playful Land. Then he took Sereianna to keep as a trophy and keep us working for him. And the truck he was in lost Sereianna, and ended up alone with no memory of us."
Briar realizes, "And she ended up at Night Raven College's Ramshackle Dorm…"
"Where we found her," Grim says.
"Precisely," Ernesto says, "When we saw Sereianna that day, I thought it was our chance to have Sereianna returned to us, and have our friends stay here. And you know the rest."
"How sad," Kalim says, "But I'm glad Sereia has found you at last."
"Still, I can't believe you want to destroy the park now," Briar says.
"Hard to believe," Tanzanite says.
Ernesto then says "If you still don't believe me, Gino and I are happy to put on a demonstration. Help me scrap the park, and I'll change the ship's heading to Sage's Island. Let's be real-Playful Land's a big place. We're not gonna tear it apart with just the two of us. So, what do you say? Are you in?"
The group is skeptic, "Uh…" and soon glance at their upperclassmen.
Vil exasperates, "Don't look to us for guidance. Can't you think for yourselves?"
"You guys did the most work today. You can make the call," Trey says.
"No promises that I'll play along, though," Floyd says.
Jasper says, "You guys decide!"
"We trust your judgement!" Tanzanite says.
"Well? I'm waiting," Ernesto says.
The group thinks longer.
Ace then says, "Just to be clear, I don't trust you at all. We'll work with you... but only until the moment we reach land."
"Good call. Mutual cooperation seems to be the most sensible solution if we want to get back to Sage's Island. I guess we've got a truce," Ortho says.
"Great! I've wanted to be friends with you and Gino this whole time," Kalim says and walks up to Ernesto.
Then gives him a hearty pat on Ernesto's back, "I'm glad you extended the offer! We're buddies now-and we're all in this together!"
Startled and strained, Ernesto says, "Uh, yeah, that's great... Could you please stop slapping me on the back now?"
He calms himself, "Ahem... Anyway, I appreciate this. We couldn't ask for better backup than you scholars. Now then-hard to starboard! I've got one last job to do as manager."
Gino smirks and nods.
Ernesto turns to Sereia and asks, "What do you think?"
Sereia then says, "Normally, I would think it's wrong to wreck something like this, but that jerk deserves it," And is determined, "And I turn the park upside down after what he did to us!"
"Well, if Sereia is in, then we're in too," Briar says.
Trinket agrees.
"Count us in too," The twins reply.
"Yeah. Let's wreck the place.
Ernesto asks, "Is everyone ready?"
Everyone nods, "Time to raise the curtains on Playful Land's final show!" He smirks and says, "It's showtime!"
Soon, everyone is gathered at the Gentle Plaza. And with that, Ernesto has the pa system play the music from the playful stage. And this time, Ace, Ortho, Kalim, and Sereia will be the one leading with Ernesto and Gino by their side.
Ace:

(All the applause is calling you)
Ace, Kalim, Ortho, and Sereia:
Go! Showtime!
Ace, Kalim, Ortho, and Sereia:
Be honest!
Brouhaha!
Be honest!
Brouhaha!
And soon enough, the gang divide themselves into different groups to destroy a part of the park.
Ace with Lilia, Jack, Vil, and Tanzantie.
Kalim with Cater, Jade, Grim, and Jasper.
Ortho with Lilia, Leona, and Floyd.
And lastly, Sereia with Ernesto, Gino, Briar, and Trinket.
Ace, Kalim, Ortho, and Sereia:
Hai! Hai! Hai! Hai!
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
At one part of the park, Ace leads one team to destroy the roller coaster area.
Ace, Kalim, Ortho, and Sereia:
Hai! Hai! Hai! Hai!
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Kalim and his group blast their magic where the fighting attraction is.
Ace, Kalim, Ortho, and Sereia:
Hai! Hai! Hai! Hai!
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Ortho and his group blast at the large model home attraction.
Ace, Kalim, Ortho, and Sereia:
Hai! Hai! Hai! Hai! …Hahah!
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! …Hahah!)
Sereia, along with Briar, Ernesto, and the rest of the gang begin blasting areas around the bazzar.
Sereia:
Saa ikuyo!
(Ready, let's go!)
Time has passed, Sereia, and the boys return to Gentle Plaza to carry the last verse
Ace:
Reibappa! Utai odorou
(Rave-up! Up! Let's sing and dance)
Ortho:
Reibappa! Koyoi ha minnna
(Rave-up! Up! This evening, everyone)
Kalim:

(Rave-up! Up! Let's all become stars)
Ace, Kalim, Ortho, and Sereia:
Here we Here we Here we Go! On!
Jinsei ha stage
(Life is all a stage)
Saikou no stage
(The best kind of stage)
Rave up!
Everyone soon gathers and each of them perform a powerful blast at areas of the park. Though, Gino whacks stuff with his hammer.
