Clio: I am of the feared and revered bloodline of Vlad the Third… THE COUNT OF DARKNESS HIMSELF-! *gestures to the crowd* Be afraid… for I am the SPAWN OF THE SHADOWS!

Hyde and Clio: I AM THE BLACKNESS OF EVIL ITSELF! :D

Silas: *totally freaked out* OKAY, OKAY. ENOUGH WITH THE CREEP FEST.

Honcho: Eesh… …honestly, we had enough freakiness in this room with Hyde, alone.

Xander: *hearty laughter* AND SO THE VAMPIRE JOINS US.

Clio: Indeed. *lifts his bottle of deep red liquid to his mouth and slurps from the straw*

Wakiya: GAH- anyone catch his drink-?!

Ken: *freaked out* please don't tell me that's—

Daigo: guys chillax. It's just tomato juice.

Valt: *white as a ghost* n-nO oNe toL-tOlD-d mE Cl-CliO wAs cOmIiIiNg…

Me: *dryly* Valt. Are you kidding me. Y'think I wouldn't warn you about your biggest fear-?!

Clio: *looking around* hm. We're missing someone.

Clio: *waves hand toward exit* And now~ INTRODUCING CUZA ACKERMANN!

*there's a puff of smoke where the hallway is*

*the smoke disappears, to reveal an utterly confused Cuza*

Honcho: wait— how did-?

Clio: *gestures to self* Magician, remember?

Honcho: *wry sarcasm* …riiiight. How could I forget.

Cuza: I— huh—? *looking left and right frantically* What is this place?!

Me: wait— I DIDN'T INVITE—

Clio: silence, you. *to Cuza* WELCOME, MY FRIEND! With your presence, this room is now complete~!

Cuza: hUH-?

Me: *sigh* sorry, Cuza. If I had known you were coming, I would've given you a heads-up. This is Beyblade Burst Interviews, hosted by me, Bow. It's a place where you can hang out and answer fanmade questions.

Cuza: ohhhhhh… Well, then…

Cuza: *grins* alright, pretty cool! Glad to be here!

Carl: *squak* glad to be here.

Clio: …And with that,,, darkness blankets the readers as chapter 45 comes to an end… *evil laughter echoes and fades to nothing*

Valt: *zombie-faced; raspy voice* mommyyy…
