Chapter 2.5: Zako Zako Hour

A boulder rolled out of the way, revealing the hosts.

"Ladies and gentlebots," Red Mic said, "Welcome to the Zako Zako Hour! Today's meeting is all about, all together!"

"We Thought Lacroa Would Be A Much Better Place!" The hosts called out.

"Zako," Red Mic said, "By the way, Zako, we are reporting from a cave in Lacroa today!"

"Zako," Blue Mic said, "When can we go back to the Gundamusai, Zako?"

"I wanna go back to the Dark Axis, Zako!" Yellow Mic wailed, flipping out. "I'm already tired of the cave, Zako!"

Red Mic bonked Yellow Mic on the head, and his eye projected a screen behind the hosts. The screen showed the Gundamusai entering Deathscythe's giant magic circle in the Minov Boundary Sea. It then showed the ship flying around Lacroa, ending with a clip of the Zako gang falling off.

"We were in the Minov Boundary Sea," Red Mic explained, "And we came out from a magic circle. We saw a bizarre castle, and fell down into this hole, Zako!"

Yellow Mic said, "I kinda thought Lacroa would be a rather spectacular place, Zako."

"But it's not, Zako! It's not wonderful at all!" Blue Mic cried. Calming down, he then said, "Although it is nice to see that all the grass and trees that we Zakos don't like are petrified, Zako."

"I never expected it to be so boring with this many holes and caves!" Red Mic commented, "I'm so disappointed.

"Zako." Yellow Mic and Blue Mic nodded, and all three hosts sighed.

There was a puff of smoke, scaring the hosts. When it cleared, it showed a Pawn Leo.

"I shall answer for you!" The Pawn Leo said.

"You again!" The hosts cried, pointing at Pawn Leo.

Ignoring that, the Pawn Leo said, "Lacroa used to be a world filled with lots of trees and other organic material, Pawn."

"Yuck!" The hosts gagged.

"Gross!" Yellow Mic added.

"However," Pawn Leo continued, "Lord Tallgeese captured this land from the Knight Gundams and the humans, and used the Bagubagu to turn it into a petrified world of stone, Pawn!"

A Zako without any armor, wearing a chef's hat and carrying a whisk jogged by. "I'm so proud of Lord T! He's so cool, Zako!"

"Zako," Red Mic said after Whisk Zako had left. "He's head over heels for Lord T!"

"Unfortunately," Pawn Leo said, "Lord Tallgeese was actually being used by someone else, Pawn!"

"What's that?" Whisk Zako rushed up to the Pawn Leo. "Lord T was being used, Zako? Who would dare do such a thing, Zako? That's unforgivable! Who, Zako, who, Zako, who, Zako…!"

With a chaotic cackle, Deathscythe appeared onto the stage, scaring the Zakos.

"The legendary power that returned from the Minov Boundary Sea is finally mine!" Deathscythe crowed.

"That's right!" The Pawn Leo said, "The one who was using Lord Tallgeese was Lord Deathscythe, Pawn!"

"Oh!" The hosts said, impressed. Who knew such a goofy-looking guy could be a mastermind?

"That…that…that can't be, Zako!" Whisk cried, falling into a pit of despair. "Use Lord T, how could you…?"

Deathscythe ignored him. "My precious violet rose… Please be patient and wait a little longer…" He became his masked form and chuckled darkly.

"Oh!" The hosts cried, even more impressed. Now that was a mastermind!

Deathscythe took off. They watched him go.

"Lord Deathscythe…" Whisk murmured. His eye became a heart. "…He's the coolest!"

"You imbecile!" The hosts cried, punching Whisk away from the stage.

"I guess it's about time for me to go too, Pawn!" The Pawn Leo said, bowed, and vanished in a puff of smoke.

Another boulder fell down between the hosts and the audience.

"Tomorrow, we're gonna look for the exit, Zako!" Red Mic declared.

"Zakos rule!" The audience cheered.

In a petrified tree, Whisk cried, "Lord D! Lord D is so cool!"
