In the middle of the island was a large garage that looked like a barn in a farm architecture-wise. Everyone, aside from Lilith, was unsure that this was where the explosives expert resided.

"You sure this is the place, Lilith?" Gareth asked her. "It looks a bit... primitive."

"Trust me, Edmund," Lilith reassured. "You'll thank me for this later." She then knocked on the garage door.

"In a second!" a high pitched female voice shouted from inside the building. A few seconds later, the door opened, revealing a thirteen-year-old girl with messy blonde hair, a bandage above her nose, a raggedy shirt and skirt, and two different shoes and socks on each foot. "Haaiiiiiii," the girl, known as Tiny Tina screeched. "I heard about yo' li'l dilemma, and I thought I could be of service.

"Boy, there sure are a lotta youse guys. And I thought Roland and his besties were needy. Wipe yo' feet an' follow me, suckas!" Tina then skipped straight towards her table.

Everybody, aside from Lilith, was shocked that the expert she spoke of was a little girl. "That's the explosives expert you were referrin' to?" Shantel asked Lilith in a sassy tone.

"I never said she was sane," Lilith replied, "but she's the best there is. Trust me."

"I hope you're right," Snake said. The team then walked over to where Tina was.

"Welcome to mah candy shop!" Tina exclaimed. "So whatcha guys need? Badonkadonks? Boom boxes? Fireworks blasters!"

"Actually, we something strong enough to penetrate that castle on the hill," Kisara said.

"You mean Kahn's castle?" Tina replied. "I can do that. Might take a while though."

Ogoleithus then stepped forth. "Don't give us that crap!" he shouted. "We need those damn explosives now! When's the soonest you can do it?!"

"Well, when ya put it dat way," Tina assured, "I can get a sticky-sticky done for ya in at least seven minutes, Mr. Squiddy." Tina then ran towards the open garage door. "Get yo' butt-butts outta my shop. I needs to be alone fo' this." Everybody was frozen for a minute. "I said GET OUT 'FORE I SHANKS A BITCH!" They then all ran out so that Tina could work in peace. "Thank you." Tina closed the door and began to construct a powerful C4. While she did so, she hummed a cute little tune.

About seven minutes later, she finally completed the C4. "VIOLA!" Tina shouted. "Now that is puuuuuure perfection."

"It's done already?" Kung Jin quipped as he finished his game of Go Fish with Felis. "That was quick."

"Took her long enough," Murdock commented to himself. The team then went into the building. On the table was a large C4 bomb with crude drawings of flowers and skulls-n-crossbones on it. Next to it was a detonator.

"Don'tcha love it?!" Tina queried. "Ah, who'm I kiddin'. O' course ya do! I took some sand from this beach and combined it with this rare clay I found when trekkin' through this weird spaceship near the mess hall, an' I injected it with good ol' 'Murican STEROIDS to ensure it's strong enough to tear that. Bitch. Up!"

"I must say, child," Ivy said. "You certainly have a knack for demolition."

"Aw, thanks, missy," Tina replied. "By the by the by, my buddy Aran's waitin' for yas at the front gate o' Kahn's castle. She wasn't able to open it with her fancy arm."

"Thanks for the C4," Cassie said.

"No probs," Tina replied. "Now GET OUT THERE AN' SHOW THOSE SHADOW THINGIES WHO'S DA MAN! Byyyyyyyyeeee!" As Tina waved good-bye, the team made its way towards the castle.
