Our quintet of heroines begin their infiltration of the DIR. Scouring the floors for any useful items, they manage to find a Tower Sketch, A Suit Squad Vinyl Cover of the Shogo Sakai instrumental, Hustle for Pride and a Saltwater Gun. Climbing up the tower, they make it to the 11th floor of the DIR. They are approximately halfway up the tower. To destroy the lightning cannon on the top of the tower, they need to destroy the generator powering it! The generator room is on floor 25 of the tower. Upon getting to the entrance to the 12th floor, they find the walls of the 11th absolutely filled with Suit Squad merchandise and paraphernalia. And there, guarding the entrance to the 12th floor is Ikari! They talk to her.
"You only got the best of me because it was 5 against 1! But this time will be different."
She uses a pyrokinetic blast, trapping her and Lola, while leaving the other sisters outside!
"So, Lola? Think you can beat me all by yourself? I'd like to see you try!"

Ikari tosses a smoke bomb and dashes away. Luckily, the smoke bomb also snuffed out the flames, allowing the party to regroup. Unfortunately for them, Senbō arrives with 2 QT colonels by his side.
"You cunts are the very definition of moths flying to a flame. Well, you'll be incinerated very soon!"
Knowing that they're still no match for Senbō's immense PK attacks, as well as the strength of the colonels easily outclassing them at this point in time, they decide to bolt out of there!
"Do you honestly think you can escape?!"
The quintet ditches those ugly uniforms and proceeds to climb further up the tower to the generator room. Eventually, they make it to the 23rd floor, which appears to be a playroom of some sort. The odd juxtaposition has various arts and crafts that were made by kindergarteners alongside a whole bunch of laboratory equipment. In the center of the room is a hot spring, which the party uses to heal up. In the northwest corner of the room, there is a strange outfit put on display. Luan tries to grab it but in true Mother series fashion…

After healing up in the hot spring again, they proceed to climb up the last 2 floors to the DIR and eventually make it to the generator room on the 25th floor. Upon trying to leave the room, as Senbō is still chasing after them, they are stopped by HIM. The chapter 5 boss. The one that gives most Mother 3 players Vietnam flashbacks because his fight is so damn hard! Except this time, he's been upgraded to fuck our quintet of heroines even harder!

Amazingly, the quintet managed to do it. They managed to destroy Mr. Genetor DX and his defeat caused the generator to become unusable! Unfortunately, battling the electrically charged annoyance took just long enough for Senbō and his lackeys to catch up with the party!
"How dare you destroy this vital system of ours!"
The party escapes to the roof of the DIR but there's nowhere else to run. Senbō, knowing he's won, calmly climbs up the ladder up to the top of the DIR.
"Do you bitches know what the DIR even stands for? It stands for Decadent Incandescence Rod. This tower would rain down unhappiness on anyone that opposes us. You know, your house was going to be next after we struck Mr. Grouse's for not upgrading his Happy Box. But you cunts had to louse that up by destroying the generator. Well, the DIR is no longer of any use to us, so the mistress gave us the order to destroy it along with you!
The Cloudburst arrives on scene.
"Oh look, there's my ride. Now, I'm just going to gloat in your faces while they hover closer so that I can board their ship."
He takes out a plantain and eats it. He drops the peel and prepares to leave.
"See you later, fools!"
He slips off the plantain peel and seemingly plummets to his demise. The QT captain notices this and tries to get the Cloudburst to shove off. In response, Lana uses her grappling hook to try and board the vessel.
"Uh guys, I don't think this thing can support the weight of 5 people."
Just when it looks like they'll slip off, Hokori comes over and uses PK Thunder α to blast the intruders away! He then retreats back into his flagship.
Airships, fighter jets, electrically powered golems and an entire army!
How can just 9 females take on this massive military force?
Do they even have a chance at winning against this nigh unbeatable organization?!
No, logic must be ignored when facing off against such insurmountable odds.
Even if there is only a one-in-twelve-million chance of their assured victory, there is also a one-in-twelve-million chance of them coming back from the brink of a total cataclysm!
Will our main four be separated once again?
Or will they all work together to overcome all obstacles that stand in their way?
From the Cloudburst, Hokori looks upon the quartet, seemingly deep in thought…
The story begins to turn to its penultimate chapter, with a certitude of confidence that these upcoming battles will be far more intense than what the Louds have ever encountered thus far!
END OF CHAPTER 5
Differences Between Decadence and Mother 3:
Mother 3: When you fight the Fierce Pork Trooper for the second time, Lucas had his whole party to help him out.
You had to fight an optional boss in the playroom to get a special item. In Mother 3, it was a yo-yo from a "friend".
While climbing Thunder Tower, Lucas gets zapped by a stray lightning bolt and learns PK Flash.
The party slips off the Pigmask's flagship because the Rope Snake's grip loosens and sends the back down before they can board.
Decadence: You face Ikari in a 1-on-1 duel and you're forced to use Lola for this fight. Ikari may be weak to PK Fire, but she has PK Fire ω and can incinerate Lola's HP faster than you can blink! Abusing her weakness for Suit Squad merchandise is almost a necessity here. And yet, doing so will cause her offense to increase while in her jealous state! It just seems like Lola can't win...
In the playroom, you can also fight an optional boss and get a unique item. Unlike the Friend's Yo-Yo, this piece of equipment is really good, even though only the younger Louds can use it.
In Decadence, the party falls because Hokori blasted them away with a PK Thunder α before Lana's grappling hook broke from having to support the weight of 5 people at one time.
Author's Note: Ironically, Ikari's battle theme is a remix of Hustle For Pride. Using the Suit Squad Vinyl Cover of the Shogo Sakai instrumental, Hustle For Pride, changes the battle music to the ORIGINAL Hustle For Pride!
The signature attack of the Elite Security Robot, the Duokilo Decsextennial Hoarfrost Cannon, is the equivalent of the Natural Killer Cyborg's End of the Century Beam! It is an ice elemental attack that will always deal 2016 damage, regardless of defense. Since the max HP is 999, this also means that it will always deal mortal damage. Luckily, it needs a turn to prepare to use such a devastating attack! Why does it deal 2016 damage, specifically? Because that was when the Loud House premiered on TV, May 2, 2016! It's a nod to the Loud House fans, which is welcome, since most of the references are more towards Mother 3. Also, when its in the Elite Security Robot phase, a remix of the Natural Killer Cyborg's theme plays.
The Camelopardalis Pajamas are the second most overpowered piece of equipment in the game, only behind the ultimate equipment sets. Equipping it gives you 72 speed and 81 defense, as well as recover a small amount of HP each turn. Think the Knit Sweater, but way better. It was made with love in every stitch. Not to mention it was guarded by an optional boss, so it must special to someone...
If any water attack (even a Saltwater Gun) is used on Mr. Genetor DX, the water will cause him to short-circuit and take 4x more damage from regular attacks, 8x more damage when in his recharge state and a whopping 12x more damage if you use his weakness while he's recharging! To offset this, Mr. Genetor DX gets to have 4 to 5 turns in 1 turn because of the short-circuit. Luan will have a bad time at this boss since Mr. Genetor DX is an electric based enemy and Luan's greatest weakness is electric attacks like PK Thunder! Not to mention he can use a sonic blast that has a chance to inflict the trip status. You know, one of the things that makes PK Ground even more overpowered than it already is. Mr. Genetor DX has 6666 HP and 256 defense, so it's going to take a while if you try to beat him without the short-circuit method.
