Chapter Finale: The aftermath

Last time: 9-Volt and 18-Volt has escape from Ashley's Mansion. Will the girl find out?

At Sunday, 18-Volt is at home with his mom wondering what happened when trying to explain to 18-Volt.

"Son...I dunno...what happened yesterday is that when 9-Volt gives me tea, I drank it...and I slept...when I woke up a few hours later, there were those small creatures that annoys me and I tried getting rid of them.", said Mrs. 18-Volt.

"What kind of creatures ma?", ask 18-Volt.

"I don't really know. The creature has a blocky 'hair' or 'head' and there's glasses on that face...I think it has a rectangular body...yeah...there were A LOT of them...I tried getting rid of them all inside 9-Volt's house. Speaking of 9-Volt…", trailed off Mrs. 18-Volt.

"Uh-oh...I hope 9-Volt didn't get in trouble with my mom though…", thought 18-Volt nervously.

"9-Volt did gave me a tea to drink...I wonder if he did spike my drink…", trailed off Mrs. 18-Volt.

"Quick! Come up with something to avoid suspicion 18-Volt!", thought 18-Volt and he's thinking of a way to divert the attention from the topic of tea. "Ah-ha! I got it!", thought 18-Volt.

"Hey mom...I know that you usually go to work in the morning and it's very tiring...I assume that you've slept the couch for relaxation even though you have a day off yesterday…", trailed off 18-Volt.

Mrs. 18-Volt thought about it and says, "You know...I DID plan to take a nap at 9-Volt's house...but maybe I napped earlier than I expected…?". 18-Volt and his mom continues to have a conversation about 9-Volt's home and how they have been feeling lately.

9-Volt is at home eating cereal for breakfast. 9-Volt was glad that he wasn't caught at Ashley's sleepover, but he did leave some track within it though…

"So son, how was it last night?", asked 5-Volt.

"It was alright...Mrs. 18-Volt was taking a nap though...I don't even know why.", explained 9-Volt.

5-Volt felt a bit of suspicion and asks, "You know...Mrs. 18-Volt told me that you...might've spiked her tea to make her...feel sleepy...why did you do that?".

"I didn't! I didn't spike her tea at all! Maybe she was working so hard that my friend 18-Volt told me that she's...usually taking a nap...I guess she napped earlier…", trailed off 9-Volt.

"Sure. She must've taken an early nap...even though she has a day off YESTERDAY.", said 5-Volt sarcastically.

"No. Really. That's what happened.", said 9-Volt, but 5-Volt didn't believe in his lies. "I know that you didn't believe in my words...but I hope you don't find out about what I've REALLY done yesterday…", thought 9-Volt and he was worried that he would be found out.

The doorbell ranged. "I'll get it 9-Volt.", said 5-Volt and she went to the door. When she opens it, she was surprised, "Mrs. 18-Volt?!"

"Um...yeah there's something that we got to talk about.", said Mrs. 18-Volt.

"Oh okay.", said 5-Volt. 5-Volt called 9-Volt and says, "Can you go on a hangout with 18-Volt? His mom and I are going to have a very important kind of conversation.". 9-Volt agrees and he went to 18-Volt.

At Sunday afternoon, Ashley wasn't happy about what happened yesterday night. "Alright, the thief and 18-Volt must've escape from us and we wanted to punish them? I wonder where we can look for these two…", trailed off Ashley.

"Um...Ashley? I have an idea...I'll go talk to 18-Volt about his consequences and if he will ever learn his lesson...the 'thief' on the other hand...I think it's the best time to call the police…", trailed off Ana.

Ashley shakes her head and said, "No...I don't want the police to know that we've beaten up the guys...if we told THAT truth, the police would not look for a thief and instead be interested about last night.".

The girls were worried about the thief and Ashley decided to launch their own investigation. "Okay, Kat, Ana, you two should find out where 18-Volt runs.", requested Ashley. Ashley showed them where 18-Volt allegedly ran off.

"If you two find him, you MUST interrogate 18-Volt and if he doesn't tell you anything, go for enhanced interrogation techniques, understood?", asked Ashley.

They understood and they went into the forest to look for 18-Volt's clue. They're planning to go to 18-Volt's home that day.

While in the forest, Ana asks, "Um...Kat...do you think that 9-Volt has somehow involved with 18-Volt's escape?"

Kat wondered for a bit and responded, "Now that you mentioned it...if we have ANY proof that 9-Volt is in somehow, we can possibly get him to confess. Good idea!".

"Hmm...I DID remember seeing 9-Volt playing Metal Gear Solid on the Nintendo Gamecube...AND 9-Volt telling me that he's playing Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater on the Nintendo 3DS...I wonder if Kat ever notice him playing those games?", thought Ana and they continue to search for clues in the forest.

On Monday at WarioWare Inc., everyone is back to normal in the afternoon. Young Cricket is now a man.

18-Volt decided to tell 9-Volt about yesterday. "Okay, Ana had talked to me yesterday night and asks what happen. I told her that 'I tried catching the thief and it got away in the forest and I was lost in the forest.'. Can you believed what happens next?", asked 18-Volt.

"What happened then? Did she believed you?", responded 9-Volt.

"Yeah! Ana believed in me because Kat and Ana went to the forest and...they also got lost. They couldn't find their way out until tonight. Let me tell ya, they don't know the way of the forest until evening.", explained 18-Volt.

"Whoa. That is awesome. Glad we know the way at night. Anyway, I've finished Wario Land 4 yesterday and you owe me some money.", said 9-Volt taking out his GBA, turns it on, waits for it, and give it to him to see his files.

18-Volt is surprised that 9-Volt had done his hard work of collecting 100% playthrough on Hard and Very Hard difficulty levels on Wario Land 4. "Wow! You've done my challenge! Okay...let me get it out for a moment…", trailed off 18-Volt.

While he's looking for his 500 coins to owe 9-Volt, 9-Volt explains, "Yeah...Kat ask me some questions about what happened at Saturday and I told her, 'I was staying home in the evening and I played video games at night while Mrs. 18-Volt is sleeping on the couch.'. She asks me more questions, but I guess I've disappointed her because she thinks that I somehow have gotten involved at the sleepover.".

18-Volt gives him 500 coins and said, "Yeah...I guess there's a lesson about going to a sleepover...without an invitation...and I don't want to do it again.".

"Yeah...I'm just glad that I didn't get involved with a sleepover. When you're not invited, don't crash any parties. The host has a choice of whom to invite. Otherwise, you face consequences.", said 9-Volt.

"You said it pal.", responded 18-Volt and they went back to work in WarioWare Inc.
