Partway through the AA meeting, a living schedule named Collegiate Calendar barges into the room, slamming the door open so hard that it splatters Vespot against the wall, killing him instantly.
"I'VE COME TO EAT GOD AND TAKE NAMES!" Collegiate Calendar declares, before walking around the room and jotting down the name off of everyone's name tag. "AND NOW I'M ALL OUT OF NAMES!"
"Hi ALL OUT OF NAMES, I'm Dad!" says Dad, whose name Collegiate Calendar quickly jots down as well. With all the names taken, Calendar pulls out a holey bible and throws it down on the floor, before diving into one of the holes. This transports Calendar directly to a god, in this case being the god of all things retro, VHS. Collegiate Calendar has a long time grudge against VHS, and is ready to get its revenge. Skeletal Mayro, who had also been attending the AA meeting, sees Collegiate Calendar enter the book, and out of curiosity, follows behind, yahooing straight into the same secret level that Calendar entered.
An unusual man named Zathotah approaches a poster on a pole in the middle of a spooky deserted forest filled entirely with dead trees and scary noises. The poster is advertising the services of an entity known as "The Sodfather", and Zathotah's mouth curls into an all-too-wide smile as he pulls out his flip phone and starts dialing the number displayed on the sign.
Meanwhile, in the streets of the best, Nightstand and Freeloader Freddy flag down Lobus while he walks down the sidewalk.
"LOOOBUUUUS! WE KNOW YOU'VE BEEN FUDGING THE NUMBERS ON PAYING RENT!" Nightstand yells, tackling Lobus to the ground.
"What the shit are you talking about?! I barely make enough to eat with how much you rob from me all the time! Get off my ass!" Lobus says.
"Then explain THIS!" Nightstand thrusts a paper in Lobus's face, where a red pen has crossed out the first digit of the 3000 MU Lobus was due to pay.
"That's not my handwriting." Lobus says. Nightstand raises his fist, and Lobus winces and braces himself, but before Nightstand can take any action, the distinct sound of something exiting the 8th dimension can be heard, as Buckaroo Banzai's car zooms out right next to Freddy, Nightstand, and Lobus. The moment the car comes to a stop, smoke starts spewing out of the engine, a side effect of Lobus's Stand, Flying Train Wreck, which causes things in his vicinity to malfunction or break down. Buckaroo Banzai quickly bails out of the vehicle, and Bunny's Shadow follows suit, just as the car explodes.
"Oh, now look what you did! That could've been a customer right there, now they won't want any business with us! You IDIOT!" Nightstand hisses. "You owe us BIG TIME, and this time I REALLY mean it!"
"Excuse me gentlemen." Buckaroo Banzai says, straightening his tie as he walks over. "Are you by any chance the guy that helps you with your problems but only by saying a specific thing that has to do with awakening?"
"Why, yes I am!" Nightstand says, his demeanor shifting entirely as he gives a beaming smile towards Banzai. "How much will you pay me for my services?"
Buckaroo Banzai reaches into his back pocket and takes out a folding briefcase, which he unfolds and opens up, revealing an amount of money so grand that it glows with bright dazzling light. Nightstand's jaw drops, and he quickly snaps the briefcase away from Banzai, before fumbling around inside of his Stand and grabbing the Stand Gun. Nightstand shoots Banzai right in the shoulder, and Banzai flinches, clutching the wound. Before long, though, the wound twists away and heals itself, and an apparition of a Stand appears behind him, taking the form of a massive pair of ethereal scissors.
"Alright, now just give it a name for tax purposes." Nightstand states.
"This power…I shall call it…Free Bird." Banzai states, and Nightstand nods, jotting this down on an otherwise empty sheet of paper.
Zathotah leans in close to the glowing screen of his computer, eyes flitting across the screen as he opens up the dark web and begins to communicate once more with an entity known only as the Dark Spider.
"I have completed your assignment." Zathotah speaks aloud. "What is my next step?"
Zathotah watches as a new window opens up on his screen, and he smirks as he navigates about the webpage.
On the streets of Costa Brava, Starskate is currently performing his contractual duties of replacing Low-Pass-Filter Face, but is suddenly disrupted by a rumbling coming from the ground beneath him. Before Starskate can react, M'lizza bursts out from underneath him, swallowing him whole.
"Dang, that can't be good." comments Danglog, just in time to also be mauled to death by the homunculus. Having finished its hibernation, M'lizza is now full of energy and also full of rage, hungering for more power so that it can't be so easily bested again. As M'lizza looks around for any signs of powerful entities, a bright light appears from the heavens, and from it descends Korney's spirit, which begins trying to reason with the megahomunculus.
"мои мальчики ... вы стали такими большими, но то, что вы думаете о том, чтобы делать прямо сейчас, несомненно, положит конец нашему прекрасному миру." Korney says, voice rich with concern. He can detect M'lizza's evil intentions, but M'lizza doesn't seem to care, and gurgles a response back at the spirit.
"За совершенство приходится платить большую цену, отец." M'lizza lets out a squelching hiss, before lunging at the spirit, sucking it up before it can retreat back to the heavens. M'lizza knows that the only way it can gain the strength it seeks is by absorbing stronger and stronger entities, so it scurries away to search for prey.
