Rennes. Our heroes had set foot here with the Olympic Flame in their hands, ready to explore the entire region. They first headed off to the Parliament of Brittany, one of the most prominent attractions in Rennes.

Walking past the Parliament of Brittany, the heroes are enjoying the sights until they noticed Madeline was a bit down. They stopped over and asked her on what was going on. Asterix asked, "What was it, dear miss? Speak something, we are all ears!"

"Listen. I have something to tell you about one thing that I still remember to this day. At one time, I was feeling sick on that night. I was crying so hard that all my friends and Miss Clavel came to help. They called a doctor to check up on me, and it was that I have appendicitis that caused my tummy ache. I had to be sent to the hospital because my appendix was the problem, so a surgery was performed to remove it."

The others were shocked because they had never experienced that kind of moment before. Rayman then asked, "What is appendicitis? Any signs that made you unwell?"

Getafix then answered, "Well by toutatis, symptoms of appendicitis are the loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting. Additional ones include high temperature in the fever, constipation and diarrhea, abdominal bloating and urination pain."

"Appendicitis is a medical condition that can be severe if left untreated." Etno added. "Earlier detection is important. It is when the appendix bursts and starts leaking stomach acid and other fluids; which, I believe, can cause the intestines to become extremely damaged if left untreated."

"Wow, how very scary!" Rayman gasped. "Was it very severe? And what happened next?"

"My appendix was removed, mon amis. Everyone was worried about me. It was like they are going to miss me so dearly, with them worrying that I would lose an arm or a leg. However, it was discovered that it was just the tummy that was just a really small matter, much to their relief. My appendix was removed and I stopped being sick again." Madeline went on. "That memory still stays in my mind for today, and I am thankful for my friends and Miss Clavel for it."

"Best thing is that we must keep ourselves healthy and fit, always!" Rayman remarked.

Spirou remarked, "Because if we want to do our best in sports, exercise is vital along with healthy eating habits Come on, let's head down to the Champs Libres!" The group then followed his lead and headed off to their next destination. An unfamiliar sight was there, giving them a warning sign. There was a helicopter hanging a radio that was playing such bad music was flying in the air, and the heroes quickly covered their ears. When the helicopter left, the heroes went over to investigate what was causing the ruckus. The crowds have been twitching around, and they seem to be in some sort of trance that made them behave this way.

"Someone is not right!" Madeline exclaimed. "What has happened to them?" "They look like mindless zombies! Who knew that music can be used for such malicious purposes?" Candy gasped.
"Look over there!" pointed Etno. It was the same helicopter headed towards in another direction, and it was holding a radio and hypnotizing others! "Hello there, loserheads! Wanna hear our latest song? It is gonna be a big hit among us, our legions of fans are growing to love our songs!" It was a girl in pink hair and she was rebellious and energetic.
"What do you think you are doing here?!" Rayman demanded.
"The name is March 7th, of the titular character of my kin from Honkai Star Rail from China! We are gonna make our supreme leader Xi Jinping proud and rock this place!" answered the girl. The heroes took a step back in case she might blast the music that will hypnotize them.
"Wait, who in the right mind would name someone after a date? It's so absurd! I bet that I never heard of anyone naming their kids after years or even places!" Spirou remarked sarcastically.
"Who cares? Just blame my creators or something like that, they are just happy to be going that way!" March 7th remarked. "Without further ado, check out my latest hit! Worship my latest song because I am the new songstress and icon for China and Honkai Star Rail!"
"Everyone cover your ears! That music is so bad that it will make you turn into zombies!" Getafix warned. The group put on their earmuffs and earphones to drown out the music. The others covered their ears to avoid listening to that song.
March 7th was not happy with that sight, so she turned on the radio's volume slowly, cranking up the intensity. The others crouched down while averting their ears and hearings senses, and they were trying to think of a plan.
"How long do you think this madness is going to end?!" asked Gorgious.
"If only when someone comes to the rescue!" replied Gaulois. Just as all hope was lost. A panther in a unique color wearing earmuffs seized the opportunity and cut the rope hanging the radio with a boomerang. The radio fell onto the ground and crashed, causing it to lose function. The heroes felt relieved, and they saw their feline savior in a rosy pink hue.
"Hold up, it was you! Aren't you the Pink Panther?" Inspector Gadget exclaimed. The Pink Panther then nodded to the heroes in a friendly manner, and he sprayed pink paint over the windshield of the helicopter. March 7th then lost control of her helicopter, causing her helicopter to fly around in different directions until it crashed down. The helicopter then revealed her feeling dizzy, and she saw the heroes and the Phryges cornering her, ready to apprehend her.
"Surrender now, cretin!" Rayman exclaimed sternly. "You are coming with us!"

"Pfft, you really think so?" smirked March 7th. "Luckily for me, I have plan B for backup so that I will make sure you will all bow before me!"

'What?" asked Gaulois.

"Watch this!" March 7th activated the switches on her helicopter, which made her helicopter undergo massive changes. Hunks of steel come flying out of nowhere, with the helicopter merging to form a massive robot with speakers.

"If you all don't like my latest hit, I will have to force you guys by myself! That is the last straw so hand me the Olympic Flame! If you don't then you will become my servants!" March 7th exclaimed. "I will play my latest hit to maximum eleven so you will bow before me!

"Not again!" Boule was horrified. Now the villain is about to use her forceful methods to make them their loyal servants by her loud music!

Boss - March 7th

The heroes put on their earmuffs and earphones to avoid her song. The robot played the song with loud volumes and turned the people around her into anything but mindless servants, approaching our unaffected heroes on their sights for apprehending.

Seeing this, Spirou and Madeline came up with a plan. The Pink Panther agreed to this, and took out his records containing his iconic smooth song. He gave the Phryges one of the records, just in case the robot has one of its controls powered by records. The Marsupilami then found crates of explosive fireworks and TNT, which gave it an idea. The Marsupilami then glued the TNT and fireworks to the robot, and quickly lit the fuse. While doing so, it dodged the hypnotized servants powered by March 7th's song.

"Crankng it up to eleven, because this is gonna turn up the heat!" March 7th exclaimed. Little did she know that the Phryges and the Pink Panther came up with something clever. The record containing March 7th's song was behind the cockpit with a stereo playing her record! Pink then took her record away and replaced it. The radios on the robot played the Pink Panther theme as a result, leading our heroes to get back in action and the effects on the people undone.

"How can this be? This is not the song I want to play!" March 7th was shocked in disbelief. She turned around and saw what has happened, the Phryges took one of her records containing her song and broke it, and they went down with the Pink Panther. The Pink Panther then waved to March 7th, signifying that she is about to face her defeat with the robot preparing to explode. Fortunately, the Pink Panther and the Phryges were quick to escape before the fireworks explosion could start.

The fireworks and TNT attached to the robot exploded, setting of a chain reaction of explosions on the robot, It was became a marvelous show of fireworks in the end, with March 7th sent flying by the explosions.

"I HATE THAT PINK PANTHER AND THOSE CRETINS! AND I HATE THOSE HEROES AND HATS! WHY DO YOU ALL HATE ME?! " March 7th shouted in defeat before she disappeared into the sky with a twinkle.

To call it a day, the heroes visited the Mont-Saint-Michel, carrying the Olympic Flame to another location in France, which was Niort. With the Pink Panther on their side, they could think of any organizing plans next to make the journey smooth….

Meanwhile at the villains' lair…

"Such inexcusable efforts can be predictable." Lila Rossi sneered. "How could a popular favorite could have the tips scaled down in favor for those good-for-nothing heroes to win?!"

"I shall advance for real now to destroy them. Let's go SkyAgentJake." Raiden Ei replied. "Those Tibetans, Hong Kongers and Uyghurs shall be spared for later. We have to focus on destroying those heroes who sympathize with them."

"SkyAgentJake to Captain Chantal Dubois and Lila Rossi. We are heading off to Niort to destroy those heroes and teach them a lesson, and extinguish the Olympic Flame for real…"
