"Erm…this may be a problem." Flurrie says, now in the ethereal form granted to her by Moonsetter. Her corporeal body has been taken over by some kind of infection, having become tinted green with glowing red eyes. For all intents and purposes, she is dead, and only able to exist through her Stand, essentially making her a ghost.
"Do you think this is the work of that beetle?" Kelbeo asks, watching from cover as Flurrie's diseased body lurches about unnaturally.
"No duh. What else could it have been? We need to do something about this before it infects the rest of the jungle!" Flurrie responds.
"Wait, doesn't Man Forrest have a history in bug catching?" Gongor notes. "He's probably our best bet for stopping the nobuenovirus!"
"The what?"
"The disease. I just named it." Gongor says proudly.
"Well, don't wait around! Go and tell Man Forrest!" Kelbeo says, nudging Gongor. Gongor nods and runs away, leaving the fauna researchers alone to continue monitoring Flurrie's body.
"Man, this really sucks. Unless we can get my body back, I can't actually touch anything in this form." Flurrie whines after a few minutes of silent observation, looking over to Kelbeo. To her surprise, though, Kelbeo is gone from where she had been standing, and a trail of yellowish slime droplets leads away into the bushes. "Um…Kelbeo…?"
As the Time Police continue following Dinomundo's hologram, they watch it run inside of a bowling alley, but instead of continuing to run straight through the building, it seems to pause inside. The Time Police quickly get out of their vehicle and walk inside the alley, where the hologram is reenacting Dinomundo's bowling. Mr. Grey holds up the tracking device and presses the fast forward button to begin speeding up the hologram's movements, further catching up towards the present. Outside, the Killdozer pulls up right behind the Time Police's car, and Wiggles and Tsukumojuku jump out and follow the Time Police inside. Hex Bug Thano also pulls up, and when he sees that Wiggles and Tsukumojuku are gone, he just gets back in the Killdozer and drives away with it.
Wiggles and Tsukumojuku walk into the bowling alley, approaching the Time Police as they stand still watching the hologram's sped up motions.
"Hey, what's your problem?!" Wiggles asks aggressively as he walks towards the duo. Akulbek and Mr. Grey slowly turn to look at Wiggles and Tsukumojuku, staring blankly at them.
"None of your boysiness." Mr. Grey says, reaching into his suit jacket and taking out a device with a bright light attached to it. Mr. Grey flashes the device at Wiggles and Tsukumojuku, disorienting them.
"Dude, what the hell? What's wrong with you?!" Wiggles says, rubbing his eyes once the light fades away. Mr. Grey tucks the device back into his shirt in favor of pulling out his cool alien pistol.
"Doy noy come any closet. This is important we are important we have authority to kill you."
"Authority my ass! You're not the boss of me!" Tsukumojuku says defiantly, walking towards Mr. Grey, who doesn't hesitate whatsoever, instantly blasting Tsukumojuku. Tsukumojuku stops in his tracks, a molten hole appearing in his chest where the alien weapon hit him. Once Tsukumojuku falls to the ground, Mr. Grey points the weapon at Wiggles, who puts his hands in the air.
"Whoa, whoa, okay, no need for that, we can talk this out! Look, I…I do detective work, I was trying to figure out what you guys were up to, but clearly it's none of my business. I'll just go now." Wiggles says quickly.
"We are conducting a top secret investigation. You will have to be iced." Akulbek speaks up.
"What if I help you out?" Wiggles blurts in a panic. "Like I said, I'm a detective, I can help you guys investigate!"
"Hi a detective, I'm Dad!" says Dad.
Mr. Grey raises an eyebrow in suspicion, but stows away his pistol in response to Wiggles's offer.
"Donot mess this up." Mr. Grey says in a warning tone. The tracking device lets out a ping as the fast forward stops, and the hologram runs out of the bowling alley. The Time Police follow the hologram's movements as they return to their vehicle, with Wiggles now tagging along.
King Scissors walks through the streets of Dethe Bestn, well on his way through scissor collection day. He's currently juggling around the recently severed head of Joshua F. Kennedy, which draws the attention of Wasted Woo, who is back on patrol duty.
"HEY! STOP RIGHT THERE!" Wasted Woo says, reaching for his Whappin' Stick as he rushes towards King Scissors.
"Mmmm? What's wrong, officer?" King Scissors asks.
"Don't play stupid! You KNOW killing people is against the law!"
"Oh, no, no, officer! I have the exclusive authority to execute anyone who opposes me on scissor collection day!" King Scissors chortles.
"I've never heard of that holiday before." Wasted Woo sneers, and King Scissors gawks at him.
"N…never heard? Of scissor collection day? You must be mistaken!"
While Wasted Woo and King Scissors are squabbling, CODY 2016 and CODY 2017 walk by, talking between themselves.
"So, this is where CODY 2019 is hiding out, huh?" CODY 2016 says, fists clenched with anger.
"Yeah, that's what I heard…he goes by ZACK now. And he wants the rest of us to change our names, too!" CODY 2017 says.
"He's crazy if he thinks that'll work. Why should we listen to him?!"
"We shouldn't, and we won't! What he's trying to do is completely illegal!"
Wasted Woo perks up, looking over to the brothers. King Scissors walks away the moment Wasted Woo takes his eyes off of him.
"What's that about doing something illegal? Is there something I should know about?" Wasted Woo asks, walking over.
"Just our stupid brother who wants to force us to change our names! He's a disgrace to our family!" CODY 2017 shouts. "And he's hiding out right here in this city!"
"Well, I can have a word with him. Where is he?" Wasted Woo asks, and CODY 2016 and CODY 2017 point down the road, at a massive four-color castle with a giant neon "ZACK" sign. Wasted Woo looks over at the castle and his jaw drops off of his face, so he has to pick it up and put it back on.
"No way he had a permit to build that." Wasted Woo grumbles, marching towards the castle and knocking on the door. The door opens, and ZACK is standing there with a smug grin.
"HAHA! YOU FELL RIGHT INTO MY TRAP- wait, who the hell are you?" ZACK says, his smile turning to a frown when he realizes that Wasted Woo isn't one of his brothers. Wasted Woo promptly slaps a pair of handcuffs around ZACK's wrists.
"You're under arrest for unauthorized construction in an urban area." Wasted Woo says.
"WHAT?! You can't arrest me! Do you know who I AM?!"
"Nobody is above the law."
"NO! SHUT UP! YOU CAN'T JUST ARREST ZACK, IDIOT!"
"Tell it to the judge." Wasted Woo brings ZACK back to his cruiser and throws him in the back seat, while he squirms about. "I'll bring you in once I finish my patrol. Behave yourself."
While ZACK is pouting in the car, he hears a tapping on the window. He ignores it at first, but it becomes more aggressive, so he glances over. Staring in through the window is a primordial entity known only as Blue. Blue gives ZACK an ominous wave, before phasing straight through the solid door and entering the car next to him. ZACK's eyes go wide, and he scoots away as far as he can.
"A-a-a-are you…the judge?" ZACK stammers, and Blue smiles a twisted smile, before letting out a laugh.
"Not the judge. The EXECUTIONER!" Blue says, before unhinging his jaw and descending upon ZACK.
