<Scene: Anteroom of the Leires Tower. The room itself is devoid of light sources, but the multicolored glow of a
scorpion-like monster illuminates the old and crumbling walls. Elazul is stretched out bleeding on the floor.
Maia is being tossed about like a rag doll in a hurricane, little more than a chew toy for the Jewel Beast. Sandra,
not visible, is certain to be lurking somewhere nearby. Pearl is cowering fearfully behind a pillar.>
Pearl: Come on, guys! Get up! Please!
<Maia sails in a perfect parabolic arc, smacking her head on a pillar at the far end of the room, and goes out like
a light.>
Elazul: D-d-d-dammit! My core is still whole!
<Elazul makes a brave shaky effort to stand. The Jewel Beast turns and plants its jaws, readying its Drill Bit attack.>
Pearl: LOOK OUT!
<Elazul barely escapes being shredded but is thrown far away by the spewing flagstones. He doesn't move.>
Pearl: *covering face* What am I going to do?
Sierra: *scampers in through the entrance, neatly ducking a snapping jaw* All is not lost yet!
Pearl: Sierra! Please, we need help!
Sierra: And I've got just the thing! New Popo!
Jewel Beast: *stops in mid-lunge, dumbstruck*
Pearl: Oh, Goddess! YOU'RE the Bug Drug Shill! We don't need -
Sierra: *produces a bug on a leaf and sticks it in Pearl's face* With Ginseng!
<FLASH>
*WHAM*
Sierra: HEY!
Blackpearl: Soulreaver! *disgustedly peels a leaf and flattened popo off her oversized warhammer* Kills bugs. Dead!
Sierra: I guess Popo even solved this problem...
Blackpearl: Now to rid the world of this evil once and for all!
Jewel Beast: *rears back in a defensive crouch*
Sierra: Go get 'im, Tiger!
*WHACK*
Blackpearl: And now for that Jewel Beast!
Announcer: Popo! The threat is cure enough!
STINGER
Sierra: *peeling out of a Dragoon-shaped hole in the wall* nnngggggggnnhh.... I'm OUT of the endorsement business!
