There were some things science could not solve. He wouldn't say there was much, but there was a bit. And this... this was one of them. Staring down what had once been some of his dearest friends in the Estate, now turned into... whatever these things were. He could not explain this.

Regretfully, violence was the only answer. With a heavy heart, he attacked.

-

The head of the Squid Research Labs, Hisashi Nogami approaches his upcoming battles with gusto. This curious mind started as a face in the background of the Ultimus Estate, brought to the forefront after the course of the tournament pushed him into taking a more active role. While Nogami may be a bit more passive, his passion for exploration has given him many years of experience. Perhaps this knowledge will be what drives him to success...? Only time will tell, so press A to continue!

**16: Kuzco**

There are despots and dictators, political manipulators...but then there’s this guy! Kuzco rules the Kuzconian Empire down in Peru and is known far and wide as the coolest ruler to ever live...in reality, he’s rather egotistical and blind-sighted by his own perceived greatness. He comes to realize this when his former advisor transforms him into a llama and gets him kicked out of his palace, forcing him to go on a journey of self-exploration and makes him change his stuck-up ways...if only that’s the version FAUX got.

FAUX originally called for his advisor, Yzma, only for Kuzco to unknowingly take the invite for himself. Seeking to expand his empire out beyond time itself, this Kuzco is from the point in time before he became a llama, meaning he keeps all of his negative personality traits and ego the size of the sun itself. Kuzco’s eyes are set on the prize and there’s no way someone like YOU can throw off his groove now!

Will ENA and G-Man be unable to answer the unraveler's questionnaire, or has Brian bit off more than he could chew against the dancing new wave enthusiasts? In the end, it all comes down to you.

[R1 - M8] CLASH! Phase 1 ~ DANCE PARTY: Who Could Have Been At The Club?

[Log 02 ~ Sakura Katana-chan & Terezi-chan]

Well, it was that time again. We have to give the account back to the other two hosts after every losers round or something. They say it’s in our contract, but I don’t remember seeing anything of the sort in there. I’m getting ahead of myself though, this is the last log for a while. The contestants in question were always the loudest ones, maybe after this it’ll be a lot quieter in the studio.

When we went to see Sakura and Terezi, they were having a little somber moment. I can’t blame the two, they lost their match against Nova real bad. I’d feel embarrassed as well if I were them. Eric gave them a really vague rundown on what was to come, to not “scare ‘em right away'' or something like that. It wouldn’t be long until we all started heading down to the cell floor. 

As we were walking down the halls with them, I could feel Sakura tremble a lot. Her breath got shakier as we got close to the cell. I looked over to Terezi and she looked unphased. She looked prepared for what was about to happen, even if she probably knew she wouldn’t survive through it all.

I respect her bravery, regardless.

We got to the cell door and shoved the two in there. They were face to face with the mass of Darkness, Sakura-chan instantly started shivering and hugged Terezi. She was screaming like she usually does, it sounded like someone blowing into their microphone. Terezi shoved her off and started heading straight toward the Darkness, she likely tried to attack it. Sakura started running behind her to try and save her. It wasn’t long before Terezi got pulled in by the Darkness, it kind of looked like it was Fred's hand that pulled her in. 

Sakura-chan got teary-eyed and started panicking. She tried running away, but she got pulled in by the Darkness before she could. She tried crawling out of its grasp but she got pulled in closer and closer. Her whole body was inside of the Darkness at this point. All of the sudden, she let out one of the loudest screams I've heard from her, crying for help. There was a sudden bright light that blinded me and Eric, then a massive explosion rocked the studio that ended up blasting us both to the wall.

There was smoke, rubble, and fire everywhere, and it was hard to make out what had happened in the chamber. The smoke cleared after a good bit, and the darkness seemed to be gone. There was also a giant hole in the cell wall that led to the outside.

Eric got up and ran out to call the repair crew or something of the sort, I followed behind him. This whole situation could end badly if we don’t act quick.
