"Why are you just longing about? Our enemy could come any second, we have the fate of the world and our friends at state, and to top it all off, we're being played for fools!" Joel's words were not ignored, but some of the team still wanted to take the opportunity to relax. Daxter and Toro were resting on the sand, Quark was working on his tan, Fat Princess and Sackboy were running by the ocean's edge, Nathan was looking for trinkets, and Sora was feeling nostalgic for his home. Clank turned to Ratchet. "Maybe we can use this opportunity to figure out a plan. The Gamer is not going to be willing to answer our questions, it seems." The peace was broken by the appearance of rhino-like looking things charging at them. The team ended up talking while fighting.
"Clank, is there a way to disrupt the energy he produces?"
"Possibly, if we can find where the power is emanating from."
"Great thinking, little buddy! Then we will be able to seal it!"
"If there's a lock, I can seal it with my Keyblade."
"Wait, that's an actual key?! I thought it was just a weird - Watch it Jak!"
"Thanks Dax. Anyways, I don't think it'll be that easy, or that literal in terms of sealing."
"Hey, if things get rough, we can always just attack him."
"Nya? What if he just sends us away to another world as soon as we do?"
"Yes! He could send us to a world with no cake!"
"They have a point, if we can't stop him from teleporting anybody, he'll always have the upper hand."
"Then what are we supposed to do? Just roll over and beg?"
A figure showed up from behind the attacking Rhynocs wielding a wand and saying something about "defying the great Ripto", but no one was paying attention as Sackboy turned him into a bubble and popped him away. Sly just stepped forward with a serious look on his face. "I don't care what it takes. I am going to save Carmelita, or die trying. The others were able to share his resolve as the glow came to retrieve them.
"Great, not only are they questioning me, they're also strategizing against me. This game is not looking good for me. Luckily, there is only one more world before the final round. Hopefully that will go over well. But then again, Team 4 was the first to suspect me, so that might be the most intense round in the game." The Gamer was finally starting to show some fear as dared to see what the final team was doing.
