Shugi and the rest of the group move on their way, coming across a trio of elite shadow men, much like the ones they encountered back in Village, as well as a man standing behind them. Knight Nikku tosses a hat towards one of them, converting them into Shadow Knight Nikku, who has an identity crisis and excuses himself from the scene as a result. The remaining two shadow knights charge at the group, but Li'l Bleedy stabs both of them, dispatching them with ease. However, the man, who is in fact the "Mountain Man" Greejis, is still standing there, and crosses his arms, before slamming his foot on the ground, causing the entire Great Fleshy Candy Land to shake.
"So, you defeated my grunts, huh? You know how hard those guys were to train? Ahahaha! Don't worry, there's nothing to fear, except my SACRED GEAR!" Greejis yells, his hatchet turning into the legendary Golden King's Hammer, as he powers up further, into his Balance Breaker state, granting him the extremely powerful "BEAR ARMS" ability. With a single swipe of his hammer through the air, Greejis creates a shockwave knocking Shugi, Knight Nikku, Li'l Bleedy, and Skeletone to the ground. Shugi tries to use the Sickening Scepter to pacify Greejis, but has it turned the wrong way, so it just makes him high instead, which really doesn't change a whole lot since he's pretty much always high anyways. Greejis lets out a bellowing laugh, and throws a bunch of rocks into the air, which then fall into a perfect circle around the group.
"STAY in here." Greejis demands, looming over the group with contempt in his eyes. Thinking fast, Shugi puts on the clown nose he picked up in the funhouse, which makes Greejis laugh, calming him down from his angered state and prompting him to disable his Sacred Gear. "HA! That's funny! You know what? Those guys were worthless anyways. You'll make adequate replacements in the meantime. I own y'all, and y'all own me."
With that being said, Greejis steps forwards, joining the party with little warning. Knight Nikku starts to ask something, but Greejis cuts him off.
"The FUCK are you waiting for? Let's get going." Greejis says, and Knight Nikku just glances at Shugi and shrugs. The group heads westward, stopping as a familiar flabby figure crashes down from the sky like an eterot, reeking an unspeakably nasty odor. The Metallic Funk, a mechanically repaired cyborg version of the Black Miasma, lets out a gurgling roar, but Greejis just smirks.
"I've wrastled worse beasts." Greejis chuckles, powering back up into his armored Balance Breaker state and stepping menacingly towards the Metallic Funk. The mechanical beast fires a blast of foul gas at Greejis, but it bounces off of the armor, and Greejis firmly plants his hands on both sides of the Metallic Funk's head, before ripping it off. The Metallic Funk is still alive, though, as it is more robot than organic being, so Shugi finishes the job, using the clown nose to block out the stench as he saws up the rest of the body with the Reaper Saw. Once the stench has subsided, Greejis powers down and helps himself to a Corrosive Cannon from the wreckage, having always been a fan of heavy artillery weapons.
The group continues westward, and finds a wall covered in all sorts of weird fleshy plant life, which Skeletone unhelpfully points out was directly east of them when they entered the Great Fleshy Candy Land, meaning that they've wandered in a circle. Shugi rolls his eyes, and leads the group upwards to unexplored territory. The group encounters a high-walled castle, seemingly made entirely from potato chips. Greejis holds his arm out to keep the rest of the group from approaching, before letting out a roar, and shattering the entire wall of the castle with a single swing of his hatchet.
"You welcome." Greejis laughs, and the group enters. Two knights made of chips stop them at the entrance, crossing their weapons to block the way.
"Halt! What is your purpose?" The knights ask, and Knight Nikku steps forward to answer.
"Hat." Knight Nikku says, throwing a hat and pathetically missing both knights. The knights seem confused by this, but seeing that Knight Nikku is a knight just like them, they assume he knows what he's doing, and allow the group to pass through into the dining hall. The room is eerily empty, save for one man sitting at the table next to a bowl of salsa and the end of a very long table.
"Y'all save me some viddles?" Greejis shouts to the man, prompting him to stand up, revealing himself to be Crunch'em. Crunch'em holds up a dangerously large chip, but before he can do anything with it, Shugi rushes forwards with the Reaper Saw whirring. Crunch'em panics, and tries to block the saw with the chip, forgetting that he long ago linked his soul with that of the chip. As such, when Shugi saws the chip in half, blood spurts out of Crunch'em's body, and he collapses to the floor, dead. The salsa bowl spills over, forming a stick of salsa which melts into the ground and reforms in Melvin's inventory. The group begins exploring the dining hall, finding chips of all shapes and sizes, including nachos, potato chips, and poker chips. Greejis helps himself to many handfuls of these chips, in the process accidentally eating a secret door, revealing the passage leading to the castle's dungeon. Before the group can head into said dungeon, a loud banging is heard from the other side of the door at the bottom of the stairs, and Dust'em busts through it, charging up the stairs. Shugi swings the Reaper Saw at Dust'em, but the whirring blade comes to a stop, and Shugi realizes that the weapon has run out of gas. Dust'em continues barreling towards the group, causing them to scatter like bowling pins.
"Alright, no more messing around. SACRED GEAR!" Greejis slams down his Golden King's Hammer onto one of Dust'em's arms, decimating the limb entirely. Dust'em falls to the ground, the Cheeto bag on his head falling off and forcing him to skip a turn to lick the dust off of the floor. Knight Nikku takes this opportunity to step forwards, using his sword to finish the job and decapitate Dust'em. Knight Nikku takes Chester Cheetah's running shoes off of Dust'em's feet and inserts them into the camo shoes he picked up earlier, while Shugi picks up a weapon known as the Cheeto Duster, and Greejis takes a Big Cheeto Bat. Before heading down to the dungeon with the rest of the group, Shugi finds a generator and uses the gas from it to refill his Reaper Saw. Once in the dungeon, the group looks around the cells, finding various miscellaneous chains and shackles. However, in the last cell, they hear a whirring sound, followed by a crack, and look up to see Spin'em biting a fidget spinner as he stares down the group. Not wanting to deal with any nonsense, Greejis immediately uses the Golden King's Hammer to smash Spin'em's hand, forcing him to drop the fidget spinner, which seems to be a completely ordinary fidget spinner. However, this is disproven very quickly, as Spin'em snatches the spinner back up with his good hand, and takes the caps off of it, revealing it to have blades. He then throws it like a boomerang, and the group watches in awe as the bladed toy circles the room and comes back to Spin'em's hand without even cutting him. Once this display is finished, Shugi uses the Reaper Saw to bisect Spin'em, and picks up the bladed fidget spinner for possible future use. Li'l Bleedy scavenges the body for any other supplies, and settles on taking some broken tooth fragments from Spin'em's mouth. Li'l Bleedy scans the area, finding another secret door, which leads into the sub-dungeon of the castle. Upon descending into the sub-dungeon, the group is confronted by a mighty force standing before them: The Pringler.
"Stop where you are. Needless excessive violence is not the Pringles way, so I will not fight you. I offer you these treasures if you can display your strength to me." The Pringler declares, stepping aside to reveal a rack of miscellaneous goodies, including a pile of gold, a Pringle Sword, a fake mustache, and numerous cans of Pringles chips.
"Show my strength? HA! Is that a joke? BALANCE BREAKER!" Greejis powers up, and uses his Bear Arms ability to punch the Pringler right in his chiseled abs. The Pringler stumbles backwards, clutching his abdomen.
"You succeed, but your friends must do the same. Who's next?" The Pringler regains his posture, and Knight Nikku steps forwards, throwing a hat towards the Pringler, who simply catches it out of the air. Knight Nikku then swings his sword at the Pringler, and the blade glances off of the Pringler's shoulder. Knight Nikku rams his armored knee into the Pringler's crotch region, which seems to do the trick, and the Pringler gives him a thumbs up. Skeletone steps forwards next, and pulls out his lute.
"I call this one, 'Another Chip in the Wall'. I thought of it just now." Skeletone proceeds to strum his instrument while howling poorly constructed lyrics about Crunch'em, Dust'em, and Spin'em, as well as chips in general. The Pringler covers his ears until Skeletone finishes.
"That passes. I wouldn't wish that upon my worst enemy." The Pringler admits, and Skeletone smiles, while Shugi steps forward and begins rapidly punching the Pringler's chest, not even leaving a single mark in the process. The Pringler laughs at Shugi's pitiful attempt at hurting him, but is cut short as he suddenly receives an astonishingly powerful uppercut, sending him flying into the air for several seconds before he crashes to the ground with a mighty thud. After the daze wears off, the Pringler gives a thumbs up, leaving only Li'l Bleedy to prove its strength. Li'l Bleedy opens up the hatch on its chest, and fires a rocket straight at the Pringler. The explosion doesn't even seem to faze him, but he gives a thumbs up anyways, and the group helps themselves to the Pringler's treasures as the Pringler himself leaves the castle. Knight Nikku slaps the mustache onto Li'l Bleedy, and the group heads back outside.
