Shun Shun glares at you silently.
“Come on, it’ll work! We just need a place to hide, maybe some disguises! OH! I KNOW!” You sneak away toward the corner and Clothes Beam up a janitor disguise, complete with MOP and BUCKET and a scruffy-looking fake mustache.
…You hear a low chuckle coming from deeper in the palace.
Well, you’re dedicated to the bit now. Shun Shun, after you give her a janitor outfit too, walks off on her own, leaving you to focus on this attempted subterfuge. Bah. Fine. Whatever. She… is still telepathically broadcasting that theme music into your mind though. Okay, focus! You act like you’re busy mopping the floor as the door opens up, three Demon Realm soldiers heading in.
One of them addresses the others. “She was lured in here, Majin Ozotto gave us the word to give chase and-” He stops as he notices you. You keep up the mopping for a moment, but all three surround you.
You hum the tune that Shun Shun’s putting in your head. One of the soldiers holds out a staff with an electrified end. He asks you in an almost disappointed tone, “Did you really expect that to work, child?”
“I expect you to move so I can finish mopping the floor.” you respond. “Such a mess in here…”
One makes for a grab for the mop, and you pull it away, only for you to yelp out in surprise and mild pain as another grabs your tail and picks you up, the two bringing their electrified staffs up to your face, forming spheres of Ki in their free hands. “You made this too easy, stupid child. Majin Ozotto will be more than pleased to see you brought to him.” However, as he says that, there’s a green arm with a black sleeved glove that taps him on the shoulder. “What-?”
It punches him in the face so hard the faceplate cracks. As he drops you, the arm grabs on to you and pulls you away from them. Roughly. Possibly intentionally crashing you into walls as it pulls. Ow. Owww. You’re eventually pulled over to Shun Shun, who is glaring at you. “There. You made a fool of yourself to Demon Realm soldiers. You satisfied now?”
You stand up and rub the back of your neck. “Eheh, okay, that didn’t go as planned, but…”
‘It was quite amusing. Nostalgic, almost.’ Majin Ozotto’s voice echoes in your mind.
…
Shit.
Aaaaand the floor is moving.
>A. …Shun Shun, find ‘em, I’ll keep Ozotto distracted>B. Try to move toward one of the non-soldier Ki signatures before you lose the chance!>C. Head toward the center, it’s the only place that isn’t shifting!>D. KI DRILL! You’re making your own doors and grabbing all you can!>E. Something else?
