Lord Crump is disgusted with your antics, but surprised by your infiltration and assault. He desperately performs his most perplexing slap-dance yet in response.
Amidst the slapping noises, you have a feeling this battle has only just begun...
He slaps his knees with both hands, then each knee one at a time, then he slaps his elbows, then back to a rally of slaps on his knees, then finishing off with three tut-tuts to his chest with his gloved hands!
Grubba knows some X-Naut language from seeing a few derelict X-goons try their hands at the Glitz Pit, but he fails to translate whatever Lord Crump just said. Something about "Magnus Von Grapple". Hmm, neat, what could that be?
Ominous but exciting, wacky music plays from the overhead speakers in the ballroom.
youtube.com/watch?v=2hhczgsrV9UThe Crowd cheers on Crump as if they already know what comes next. One Elite X-Naut left in the Crowd throws a Rock right at Grubba's fat head for 1 damage!
Ow! Heyyy!!! Can we get a little support here, Boos?!?!
2 X-Novices and 2 X-Naut PhDs wheel in a massive robotic suit and attach it to Lord Crump. He has become more than X-Naut. He is now an X-Robaut. Nah, that sounds lame, never mind.
His lackeys remain on stage to replace the fallen ones and take up the fight against you!
The impressive Magnus Von Grapple stands tall over the party in the middle of his goons. He gains +2 DEF and his current and max HP and FP have been boosted by 20 each, nearly refreshing him entirely!
Before, you weren't so sure Crump and the Novices would even provide enough SP for a level-up, but now there's no doubt!!
>Estimated SP gain: 48X-Novices 5 x 1SP
X-Naut PhD's 2 x 4SP
Magnus Von Grapple 1 x 35SP
>Other estimated gains: Supernova Speck, rolled Badge, rolled Item>0.9SSP...You lick your lips. Now it's a battle!
>Take him down before he fires a Missile Volley at the party or charges up his X-Laser!! And watch out for his Hydraulic Hands! And don't let those PhD's get funny with you!Movesets:

* = Henceforth, Partners having 0, 1 or 2 FP will have a status effect known as Depleted. This is to help remind players and QM's when characters are running low and might be unable to perform certain Actions. In your journey you may come across the Flower Rush or Flower Rush P Badges, which increases PWR for you or your partners when FP is in the Depleted range!
