Taka and Yasuha eventually reached the address given to them by Hot Soup, and the entire place looked frighteningly familiar to Taka. The moment he stepped out of his car, he knew exactly why. The building he had reached was the same building he had killed Caravan Palace in 5 years ago! Taka was utterly shocked by what he was staring at. "Wait- so- this Starman- he's associated with Caravan! But- Caravan is long dead!"
Yasuha asked, "Wait, who's Caravan?" Taka began to explain, "Caravan- how do I explain it... 5 years ago, me and my friends began to have beef with this man named Caravan Palace. We beat him in some concert thingy, and didn't see him again. That is, until we found out he was tryin' to kill us! We went to go beat the living shit outta him, and found out that he was workin' with some weird robotic phone thing. I ended up killing him with the help of my friends, but sadly- one of them died that day."
Yasuha exclaimed, "Wait- so this is his place?! That Caravan man is associated with Starman, the man who ended my father's life!?" "It seems so!" Taka activated his ability, Salad Days. "Stay put and get ready for anything! Caravan had some freakkyyy shit on his side!" Yasuha asked, "Like what?" Taka explained, "Oh, a mold breathing bear named Nessun Dorma, a metallic form which made him basically immortal, and apparently a metal eating squirrel. "Woah. But just how is that guy associated with Starman?! And you said you fought him 5 years ago, right? That's when my father died! Something's seriously off!"
"I'm aware of that!" yelled Taka. Suddenly, the door swung open. Taka raised his arm and yelled, "WHO GOES THERE!?" The darkness of the night obscured the person's face, and Taka yelled out once more, "Tell us who you are or I'll shoot without hesitation!" The figure didn't respond, and continued to stay silent. "Alright! You asked for it!" yelled Taka. He shot the person in the head repeatedly.
Yasuha said, "Let's check out who it is." The two walked up to the dead body, and Yasuha lifted it up by the neck. "Wait..." he said, "This is- this is Floor Corn." Taka responded, "...Huh. You know them? Who're they?" Yasuha said, "... Floor Corn is a fictional character." "Whaddya mean 'fictional' I clearly just killed the bastard! You can't blow the brains out of something that doesn't exist." Yasuha said, "Maybe it's a cosplayer? I- this is literally a character from a children's show."
Taka said, "I guess they must be fans of whatever show 'Floor Corn' is part of. Anyways, let's continue inside." As Yasuha was about to enter the building in which his greatest enemy was residing in, Taka was hit with a comically large bomb. Yasuha immediately looked behind, startled by the sound, and he saw Taka with both his legs missing, on the ground and rapidly losing blood. "Taka! What the fuck happened!?"
"Ah fuck, I don't even know at this point!" Yasuha went to go spray some new legs onto Taka, but suddenly, his shoulder was grabbed and he was pulled back behind. Yasuha's head dashed over to see who grabbed him, and what he saw blew his mind even more. It was a large, green snail, with incredibly beefy arms and legs. His left hand held a bag filled with those cartoony looking bombs, the ones that are large black balls with a string attached.
Yasuha stuttered, "Y-You're SNAIL MAN!" "Indeed I am." responded Snail Man in a deep, raspy voice. "But you're a fake- fake fictional thing- but- what- you're not the boss of me-" Snail Man said, "I am aware of that." "I'm so confused. You're a FICTIONAL character, from a FICTIONAL show for kids! You shouldn't exist!" Snail Man said, "You're getting really annoying."
He used his immense strength to slam Yasuha against a brick wall, severely hurting him. Yasuha yelled and coughed up blood as his body lost its stamina and strength. Snail Man picked out another bomb from his bag and calmly said, "Take this, little shit." He lit the string on fire and tossed the bomb at Yasuha. Yasuha quickly managed to spray out a bit of skin, and although it wasn't much due to Yasuha's new situation, it managed to put out the fire on the bomb.
Yasuha got up with what little strength he had, and Snail Man calmly said, "I see what you're able to do now. I must do what I can do make sure you don't do it again." He threw a third bomb at Yasuha, but he did it with such precision that ensured that the side with the string attached would face away from Yasuha when near. And so, Yasuha could not put the fire out with sprayed skin.
Instead, Yasuha quickly sprayed skin out from both of his palms, which connected like two pieces of gum getting stuck together. The bomb hurled into Yasuha, but the almost elastic-like skin Yasuha made acted as a huge slingshot, which flung the bomb back at Snail Man. Snail Man's head was blown clean off, and the bomb made a cloud in which cartoony looking letters appeared, which said "BAM"
