Elsewhere, Wiggles and Tsukumojuku are investigating what appears to be a dead body, but as Wiggles is gathering information, Bone Boy gets out of his body bag and yells at the detectives for interrupting his sleep. Bone Boy angrily kicks Wiggles into the distance before picking up his body bag and walking away. Tsukumojuku chuckles a bit and then heads over to where Wiggles ended up, which is just outside of the Schmadow Bone. Creepo sees Wiggles and begins to approach him, and Wiggles finds that he has begun approaching Creepo as well against his own will. Wiggles starts investigating the cause of this while Tsukumojuku shows up nearby and begins watching.
"Hmm, it seems like this being is somehow forcing me to approach it." notes Wiggles. Tsukumojuku finds it odd that Wiggles immediately deduced that there was some kind of ability related to Creepo at play here, rather than an unknown external force. While Wiggles and Creepo continue approaching each other, a small purple submarine slowly surfaces on Creepo's arm, and Tsukumojuku quietly whispers "Das Boot" under his breath. The submarine fires off a torpedo directly at Creepo, but Creepo is able to use Draw Near to force it to approach him at the speed of approach, while Wiggles continues to do the same.
Wee Woo has returned to the streets of Costa Brava, and is patrolling the town in search of crimes. Wee Woo sees Cheeky Jeeky, who he recognizes as having broken the somewhat obscure law against coming back from death within the Marinara Trench.
"Hey you! Stop in the name of Jesus and the law!" shouts Wee Woo, readying his Whappin' Stick.
"Whoandthewhatnow?" responds Cheeky Jeeky.
"Don't play dumb with me." orders Wee Woo, though after a quick analysis he can tell that Cheeky Jeeky isn't playing dumb. Suddenly, Some Guy arrives and causes the battle format to change. Some Guy picks up a penny and uses it to summon Abraham Lincoin, whose name is a bad enough pun to be illegal. Wee Woo proceeds to whap Lincoin, which deals extra damage due to Wee Woo's bonus gained from being a cop. Lincoin flips his coin for a 50/50 chance of hurting himself or his opponent, and the coin lands on tails, so Lincoin takes damage. Cheeky Jeeky does his fabled trick of falling on his face, but since his cheeks aren't fully healed, it damages both him and Wee Woo.
"We can do this, I know we can." assures Some Guy, motivating his team because he himself lacks any combat skill. Wee Woo manages to whap both Lincoin and Jeeky upside the downside, which damages both of them in the process. Lincoin flips his coin again, and it once again lands on tails, but Lincoin understands that this is perfectly reasonable and accepts the resulting damage.
"Hitormiss" says Jeeky, taunting Wee Woo.
"This attack won't MISS! WHAP!" yells Wee Woo, swinging his Whappin' Stick at Jeeky, only for Jeeky to dance out of the way at the last second and avoid the attack. Lincoin flips his coin once more, and it lands tails yet again, prompting Lincoin to grow slightly suspicious that somebody may have rigged the coin. Jeeky grabs Wee Woo's cheeks in order to partially restore his own, and Some Guy continues doing an idle animation nearby. Wee Woo polishes his Whappin' Stick in preparation for his next attack, and Lincoin's coin finally lands on heads, dealing heavy damage to Wee Woo. While this fight continues dragging on in the distance, Freeloader Freddy wakes up and finds that Paul has left his room. Freddy groans a bit, and brings out his Stand, Health Critical, a red humanoid that somewhat resembles a surgeon. Upon bringing out his Stand, Freddy can easily see the vital signs of the other people in the convention center, and looks around for Paul's, which he finds pretty easily. Freddy heads upstairs to confront Paul. Upon reaching the main floor, Freddy sees Terry and Cop hanging around, and assumes them to be squatters. Freddy glares at Terry and uses Health Critical's primary ability, which is to sap nutrients from anybody in its range, slowly depleting their vital signs. Terry starts to feel somewhat lightheaded, and Freddy begins walking towards him.
"Getting tired, huh? Maybe you should go home and get some rest." Freddy taunts, staring down Terry.
"I'm not going back on my plane home from the convention and leaving Jerry unattended while he tries to do whatever with Paul, possibly ending the world." Terry responds.
"Well ya ain't stayin' here either, ain't room for more than one freeloader in this place."
"The hell are you talking about? I'm not a freeloader, I paid to come to the convention and it got cancelled, so I have to wait until it would have ended normally to leave, and during that time I'm going to make sure Jerry here doesn't fuck up everything." as Terry says this, Freddy returns his nutrients to him.
"My bad. You wouldn't believe how many people think they can just hang out here." Freddy says, crossing his arms.
"Alright Paul, pick one of your least bad OCs to give to Jerry so he can test his thing." Terry says, and Paul shrugs and pulls out an enormous stack of papers, which he starts sifting through.
"Uhh, I don't know if this is the right pile, but it's the one I have on me right now. I guess I'll bring out...Garey the Goofer!" says Paul, summoning some kind of weird alien creature which immediately starts telling jokes in a language that doesn't exist.
"Paul, you weren't supposed to summon it, you were just supposed to give the item to Jerry."
"Hang on, I think I can make this work." says Cop, before grabbing Garey in a chokehold until he falls unconscious.
"Hey, be careful with that! That's my character!" Paul whines.
"No." Cop replies sternly, before throwing Garey into the machine from earlier, which he had managed to repair with relative ease. Garey starts laughing wackily as he is annihilated from reality.
"Okay, you gonna throw Paul in there now?" asks Terry.
"Hold on, we have to make sure Paul can't resummon that guy." Cop says, holding up his hand to tell Terry to wait.
"Alright, Paul summon that guy again."
"Okay!" Paul says, summoning Gary the Gopher. "Wait, that's not right…" while Paul stares confusedly at Gary, Terry casts a glance at Cop telling him that the summon should have been destroyed completely. Cop responds with a look telling Terry that Paul almost definitely has a ton of characters that look pretty much identical to each other.
"Hey Paul, who is this guy?"
"This is Gary the Gopher, he's Garey the Goofer's sixth cousin from another dimension." Paul responds, and Terry looks at Cop to tell him that Paul shouldn't be able to summon another summon from the same item.
"Hey Paul, are you sure you used the right summon?" asks Cop.
"Uhh yeah, wait actually no, I thought I did because they look really similar. Sorry." Paul responds. Some person starts to speak up about how that's offensive, but Paul cuts them off before they can say too much. "Hey, I'll have you know Goofers take great pride in their similarness as a species!" Paul says, and the person gets shot before they can argue.
"Wait, didn't you say this was a Gopher?" asks Terry, raising an eyebrow.
"Uhh, yeah. A Gopher Of Phosphorescent Heritage Excluding Rippers."
"Did you just make that up?"
"They're my characters, if I make it up it's fact."
"Just summon the other guy."
"I can't find the item!"
"Maybe you should throw the entire Goofer family tree into the machine to see if that helps."
"Good idea!" Paul walks over to the machine and dumps in 34 different summons, which are all immediately destroyed.
