As the only way to complete the tourney's roster, the Hopeless Soul has escaped the machine as the final Mash N' Up character! The spirit now aimlessly wanders the arcade, if still a bit tethered to his original cabinet. Credit where credit is due, though, Edacra and the other contestants have given him faith that he'll truly be able to leave his divine punishment! Will you be the one to give him his final chance at freedom? Hopefully this adventure won't go awry…

SAY IT WITH HONOR

[Intro – 0:00–0:45]
Soft desert wind, low analog drone, gentle metallic chime.  
Oud plays single slow tones; distant echo of chanting — almost like wind reciting prayer.

[Verse 1 – Arabic, soft male vocal]
في صمتِ الرِّمالِ يولَدُ النُّورُ،  
تسيرُ الرِّيحُ كأنَّها صلاةٌ،  
تُصافِحُ الشَّمسَ وتَكتُبُ القصيدةَ،  
على وجهِ الأرضِ الذَّهبيِّ.

[Bridge – whispered female harmony]
يا نَفَسَ الصَّحراءِ، يا سِرَّ الزَّمان،  
كلُّ ذرّةٍ فيك حياةٌ،  
كلُّ نسمةٍ فيك دُعاءٌ.  

[Main groove – 1:20–2:30]
Minimal deep house rhythm begins — warm sub bass, tribal percussion (daf, shakers, sand brushes).  
Oud and qanun phrases interweave with rhythmic breath samples.  
Repetition of mantra-like line:  
"رملُ الرّوحِ... رملُ الرّوحِ..." (“Sand of the soul… sand of the soul…”)

[Verse 2 – Arabic, deep male vocal]
يا رِمالَ الأبديّةِ، يا ذاكرةَ النُّجوم،  
فيك يَنامُ الشَّوقُ ويستيقظُ الحُلم،  
كأنَّ الرُّوحَ تَسيرُ حافيةً،  
على جناحِ النُّورِ الخفيّ.

[Breakdown – 2:35–3:10]
Ney flute solo echoes like the desert wind; deep drone fades to silence.

Something Awful has found its away into the tournament. In the earlier years of meme culture, the feared Zalgo enjoyed corrupting comics and forums, twisting them into disturbing content. However, as users grew I̷͗̆G̴͍̊N̷̐̐Ō̶͂R̵̎͘A̶̐͝N̴̼͠T̵̑̓ and less afraid of Zalgo's abilities, It slowly lost notoriety, and without the ability to spread panic, Zalgo itself could no longer spread. Zalgo spent its last days in a Garfield comic, as it saw Garfield's lethargic nature as a retirement plan of sorts. As Zalgo's abilities festered within the comic, it slowly began to twist into something awful. The remains of Zalgo eventually infused with the lazy cat, birthing Gorefield.
As Gorefield gained notoriety, Zalgo was born again, now one with the entity it used to rest. Please welcome Zalgar to Temporary Flight Attendant!
