Kirk Fogg is standing in front of Olmec and behind Konata and Kagami as they prepare for the final stage of Legends of the Hidden Temple: the Temple Run.
KIRK FOGG: Welcome back to Legends. The Green Monkeys have proven themselves worthy and have now earned the right to enter Olmec's Temple. Now, pay close attention because Olmec will guide you through the Temple in order to retrieve the Jade-Handled Sword Kusanagi.
OLMEC: You could start by running up the stairs to the Crypt. Grab the books from the skeletons and race into the Pit and the Pendulum. Knock over the column and climb into the King's Storeroom. Smash the clay pots to find the key which could take you into the Chamber of the Sacred Markers. Match the symbols on the right to those on the left and pass into the Room of the Ancient Warriors. Place yourself into the correct armor and a door may open to the Shrine of the Silver Monkey. Assemble the statue and you may enter the Room of the Secret Password. Find the tablet with the correct inscription and shout it out to open a door to the Pharaoh's Secret Passage. Slide down the tunnel to the Quicksand Bog, then plow through the Dark Forest, but beware of the Temple Guards which may inhabit the trees! Find the key in a tree, then race into the Jester's Court. Place yourself against the correct wall painting and make your way towards the Tomb of the Headless Kings. Pull on the vines to release their bones, then attach the missing skull to its proper King. Next, race through the Pit, climb through the Ledges, race down the stairs and back to the Temple Gates. The choices are yours and yours alone! You've won 2 Pendants in the Temple Games. Who's going first?
KONATA: I am!
OLMEC: Very well, Konata! When Kirk gives the signal, you will race into the Temple and make your way towards the Jade-Handled Sword Kusanagi. Hidden inside the Temple are Temple Guards assigned to protect 3 specific rooms. You may trade in your Pendant for an extra life and go on, but if you're caught without a Pendant, you will be taken out of the Temple and it will be Kagami's turn to enter and try her luck. Once you've reached the Sword, all the doors in the Temple will instantly unlock and the Temple Guards will vanish! Return through the Gates with the Jade-Handled Sword Kusanagi in 3 minutes, and you will both be handsomely rewarded, and here's how!
ANNOUNCER: First you will get an awesome sound system!

KIRK FOGG: Alright, Green Monkeys! Let's get to Barbados! Mouthpieces in. Let's put 3 minutes on the clock. Olmec, lower your gate, if you please.
Olmec slowly lowers the bars down as Konata stands ready to run. Once the gate is locked down, Konata begins to run.
KIRK FOGG: On your mark…get set…GO, KONATA!
Konata runs up the stairs with her Pendant in her hand into the Crypt. Before she can grab a book, a Temple Guard jumps out behind her, scaring her. She gives her Pendant away and grabs the book near the opening to head into the Pit of Despair. Konata swings on the vine and knocked down the column. The only door open was the one in the King's Storeroom, so Konata had to climb up. When she got into the King's Storeroom, she smashed the first pot to find nothing. She found the key in the second pot and tried it instantly, but no avail. She pushed the third pot out of the way and used the key there and the door opens below into the Chamber of the Sacred Markers. Konata put the puzzle pieces on the doorway and magically opens a door below to the Tomb of the Headless Kings. She pulls all the vines madly and finds the skull. She places it on the right King and the door to the Jester's Court opens. Konata tried the middle painting, but failed. The right painting worked and unlocked the door. Konata headed into the Dark Forest and tried to bust through the wall, but it was sealed up. She reached into the left tree to find a key and the tree squeezed her tight.
KIRK FOGG: Temple Spirit! GO, KAGAMI!
With Konata captured, Kagami ran like crazy following Konata's path, carefully crossing over the Pit of Despair, and headed down towards the Dark Forest where Konata's ran ended. The tree that grabbed Konata had the key and Kagami used it to head up into the Shrine of the Silver Monkey. When she got up and looked around, a Temple Guard startled her. He grabbed her Pendant and Kagami grabbed the base first. Then she grabbed the middle and head simultaneouesly. Kagami correctly positions the middle and jams the head down. With 30 seconds left, the door opens to her right into the Room of the Ancient Warriors. Kagami grabs the Sword and all the doors of the Temple unlock. Kagami cuts through the Chamber of the Sacred Markers into the Pit of Despair, crosses over into the Crypt and makes it out with 3 seconds to spare!
Konata and Kagami celebrate as Kagami waves the Sword in the air. Washu and the eliminated teams leave the grandstand and celebrate with Konata and Kagami.
KIRK FOGG: They did it! They got the Sword! They're getting it all! They've got the Singalodeon! They got the TV! They're going to Barbados! This has been one exciting adventure! Congratulations to the Green Monkeys! Now, Konata. How was it inside the Temple?
KONATA: It was fun!
KIRK FOGG: What was it that was difficult?
KONATA: The tree monster that scooped me up.
KIRK FOGG: The Temple Spirit. That gets some players, too. And how was the Temple for you, Kagami?
KAGAMI: It was quite an adventure! I never realized this was such fun to play.
KIRK FOGG: So, did you have a great time playing?
KAGAMI: Yeah!
KIRK FOGG: I'm glad everyone had fun today. That's all the time we have for today! Join me again on another great adventure and another great Legend of the Hidden Temple! See ya next time!
After the show ended, the girls headed back on the bus with Konata and Kagami in front of the bus as if they were tour guides. Konata was using her newly-won karaoke machine to speak.
"That was a fun battle within the Hidden Temple," Konata said. "And while we're on our way back to the hotel, I thought of entertaining everyone karaoke-style!"
"You're kidding, right?" Kagami asked. "I doubt everyone wants to hear anime songs while we head back."
"Well, that's what I'd do normally, Kagamin," Konata said, pulling out a cassette tape. "Luckily, I came prepared for such an occasion. And this was not an anime song, I guarantee you."
"Well, that's a shock," Kagami replied. "What did you get for this session, anyway?"
The machine began to play "Thieves in the Temple" by Prince. Instantly hearing this, everyone groaned at the obvious pun. However, Kagami, in a rare show of emotion, decided to backup Konata by singing with her.
When the song was over and everyone got back, the girls changed back to their normal outfits and headed back to Tokyo.
Once they arrived, Washu reactivated her time portal and headed back to their own time. Konata and the others found themselves back at Kusakabe Station.
"Finally, home again!" Kagami sighed in relief. "That was too much for me, but it was kinda fun."
"And it's gonna look so good on tonight's webcast!" Konata cheered. "I can't wait for another round!"
"No offense, Konata," Ayeka interrupted, "but that's the last thing we EVER do!"
"Yeah, I agree with Miss Prissy here," Ryoko added. "That Hidden Temple thing is OUT! That's just too crazy!"
"Well, still, I hope you can catch all the hot action tonight on QCFP," Konata said. "If I find another gaming opportunity, I'll let you know."
With that said, Sasami dangled a carrot in front of Ryo-Oh-Ki as she transformed into her ship form. Ryoko carried Sawyer aboard as Ayeka, Washu and Sasami boarded the ship. Sakura pulled out the Return card and activated it to return her and Kero back home. Ako and Riko headed back home to their part of Saitama while Anri and Miharu headed off to Toshima and Ikebukuro to visit Anri's place for the night.
"That was an exciting adventure, for once," Kagami said. "A break from the normal madness around here."
"I'll try to think of another activity for us, Kagamin," Konata gleefully giggled.
"Well, thanks, but I've had enough excitement for one day," Kagami said. "I'll catch you tomorrow, and let me know how your webcast went."
Konata began to walk back home. Halfway down the street, she found a bright blue orb in the middle of the road. It began to glow a mysterious light blue. Konata looked at the orb and wondered what it could be.
"Ooh! Looks like something from Final Fantasy, like the wondrous Orbs of Light!" Konata beamed. Then, the orb began to lose its glow to look like a blue glass ball.
"Hmm…must not be," Konata shrugged as she dropped the orb. "I've played Final Fantasy millions of times to know this plot too well."
Konata kept wandering back home, but the orb which glowed blue soon began to glow purple accompanied by an old man's laughter. Then, the orb began to glow red and a woman's evil laugh was heard. Then, the orb glowed green and a giant laugh was heard with a voice as deep and monstrous. Then, the orb shatters into pieces. Konata's run through the Hidden Temple was a success, but what other gaming adventures are in store?
[[QCFP: MISSION ALL OVER!]]
