Harmony noticed Zii get thrown down, and got distracted enough for Sir Skewer to get a good blow in, knocking the wax blade out of her hands. "Checkmate~" he stated as he lifted the sword up over his head, but then she quickly Shaved behind him. But he scoffed, and the sword continued behind him and smacked Harmony in the head. While dazed, he spun a kick into her side, throwing her through a small vegetable stand. "Predictable," Skewer mocked, walking towards her. Zii threw up a solid barrier of air, but Sir Pulverize shattered through it, but slowed his momentum enough to stop his attack. Sir Pulverize flipped up into the air again, but she threw her hand down and forced him back down with a gale above him. She started sweating and breathing heavily, as his sheer weight made that difficult. "What? I'm not allowed to fly now?" he mockingly asked, rushing towards her with both fists up for a heavy slam. She flung herself back, but he claps instead of bringing them back down and sped up, grasping both arms around her. She tried to free herself, but he quickly delivered a nasty headbutt with the helmet, knocking her out cold. "Zii!" Harmony cried, running for her before Skewer swung down at her, and she had to retreat for a second to create two blades in her hands. "Get out of my way!" she growled.
Several arms sprouted from the floor, dragging Kagaku away from the statues. "Midas is here!" Arlos growled, attempting to open a Room before another arm grew from his own, grasping his hands shut. "The Op Op is far too dangerous to leave out and about~" Midas chuckled, his voice echoed through the chamber making his location in the dark room unknown. Kiwi tried to light up more of the room, but arms came out and pulled him down by his arms, restraining him. Julio ran over, but was tripped by arms grabbing his ankles, making his arms easily held down. "It's so easy~" Midas chortled as he came into the room's center. Kagaku made a violent struggle before he was pulled up the wall, held there at the center of it. Midas walked up, despite Arlos' intense gutteral growls, and he placed his hand on the doctor's face, deviously smiling as before Arlos could do anything, he turned into gold again, right before the crew's eyes. Kiwi and Julio started trying their best to get out of the grips of the hands as Midas turned towards them. "Honestly you guys finding out just made putting you in here easier~" he taunted, taking dramatically slow steps towards them.
Akio had his arms covered with the black scales, and clashed with Sir Polish's attacks. Claws emerged from his fingers as he catches an arm swing, piercing through the metal as he gripped down. "Ow! Leggo!" Polish cried out, pulling back towards the outside so he could use his jewels. Akio, feeling nice, helped him out by shifting his legs into clawed theropod dinosaur legs, and used them to lift the large man. He started slamming him into the ground before spinning around and throwing the mess of dented metal through the wall that didn't have a hole, perfectly making a tunnel through this house. "Holy shit..." Steed muttered, but gasped excitedly as Sir Polish shakily stood up. "T-that all you got..?" he scoffed, coughing up blood under the helmet. Akio shifted back to human, and blitzed up to Sir Polish with a basic Shave, delivering a kick into the knights chest that shattered the chest plate, knocking him out as he flew through the air. "Now... I have business with you..." he said casually, turning towards Sir Steed who had already started running.
Sir Pulverize leaped to the castle, making huge bounds away from the fight with the unconscious Zii. "Get back here!" Harmony cried out, but Sir Skewer once again blocked her advance. She swung both blades down, but he sidestepped and knocked her in the gut with his hilt, punching her in the face with his other arm. She gasped as the air was knocked out of her, and she fell back from the strike. He rushed in to knock her out, but she started to faintly glow as she let out a frustrated scream, zipping up to him as a streak of light. She struck him in the face, and he swung just for her to zip out of the way, and then started landing multiple attacks this way in rapid succession. Sir Skewer was overwhelmed for a moment before spinning the great sword around him, forcing her back. Her glow vanished as she slammed her fist into the air behind her, creating a focused Quake crack there. The impact flung her right back at him, and she did another focused Quake strike right into his face, shattering the helmet. Getting a good look at his face, Harmony was surprised to see the knight from Rumbleton. "Wait, Sir Drey!?" she cried out, stepping back as he stood back up, wiping blood from his mouth. "Why are you helping Midas do this? I thought you were a good guy," Harmony sighed, but Drey scoffed and smiled. "I'm just after the money at the end of the day," he admitted, gripping the sword with unwavering determination.
A yo-yo suddenly flew in from the golden statues, knocking Midas onto the floor. When Kagaku did that last struggle, he just tossed a handful of the gold acid into the crowd of them, and with such luck as his, managed to degold Lia. "I have no idea what's going on, but you are clearly hurting my buds over here, so I'm gonna kick your ass!" she exclaimed, throwing her second yo-yo around herself and knocking the arms off Arlos and Kiwi. Kagaku was too far out of range, but he didn't look worried as he smiled pridefully. "G-guards!" Midas called out, scrambling backwards towards the door behind the throne as Lia and Arlos rushed him, Kiwi running towards Kagaku to help him down. Midas tried to trip them, but once Arlos had the Room up he could see them coming. "Jump!" he commanded, and they both hopped right over the arms on the floor. Using the Room's power, Arlos flung Lia towards Midas as she started rapidly spinning the yo-yo's around herself. Midas let out a cry of terror, but then the throne moved, opening the door behind him. Sir Pulverize caught Lia midair, palming her back towards Arlos. He dropped the unconscious Zii next to Midas, who giggled as he placed his hand on her back, goldenifying her. "Damn, this just got way harder..." Kagaku groaned as Kiwi zapped the hands holding him up, dropping to the floor.
Drey charged forward with a heavy swing, but as she jumped back to avoid it, he used the weight to throw himself ahead and kick the captain in the gut, and tried another overhead swing down while she tried to recover. She Shaved, but only barely dodged it, as a small cut on her cheek started to bleed. Drey smirked, lunging at her with intent to skewer her through. She stepped to the side, and he quickly turned it into a slash towards her, but she faked him out. She jumped back the other way quickly, and as he swung at nothing, she swung a heavy haki coated kick into his head, slamming him hard into the golden floor that cracked from the blow. He tried to get up, but wasn't able to keep consciousness as Harmony suddenly Quake slammed his back, shattering the air as well as his armor. As he passed out, she panted a bit to try and catch her breath before running towards Akio. Sir Steed was currently in Akio's grasp, held by the neck as his lanky legs slumped to the ground. "Hey Akio! He's out so let's go!" she cried out, and he sighed, dropping the guard to the floor. She only now noticed that the knight wasn't breathing, but right now she cared more about her friends, and the two headed for the castle.
