Hagar D. and QC, finally free from the time-out corner, go their separate ways as Hagar decides to pursue Mugsy and try and finally reclaim his meatball recipe. Hagar stands on the streets of Costa Brava, wafting the air to detect the trace scent of his mama's meatballs. Hagar comes across the site of Mugsy's meatball stand, though of course the meatball stand itself is no longer there. Continuing to follow the scent, Hagar finds himself all the way at the local landfill, where Secco's corpse is. Hagar realizes he must be being led astray, so he heads back to where the meatball stand was, and concentrates a bit harder, eventually pinpointing another source, being, of course, the WCL headquarters building, which for some reason Hagar just didn't notice until now. Hagar barges into the building, stepping past loss averter on his way in, and seeing the police officers residing on the first floor.
"Hey, have you seen a guy about yea tall, stupid little face mask, reeks of meatballs that he made with a stolen recipe?" Hagar asks.
"You know, that does sound pretty familiar, I think the guy you're looking for might be in the basement here, but I'd personally recommend you just stay out of trouble and sort this out in a civil manner." Wheel Woo remarks. Hagar storms into the basement, and sure enough, Mugsy is down there, making meatballs.
"There you are!" Hagar shouts, pointing at Mugsy. Mugsy glances around both ways, before realizing Hagar is talking to him.
"There who is?" Mugsy asks confusedly.
"Don't play dumb, you're the chump who stole my mama's meatball recipe!"
"I am?"
"Quit the act, boy! I saw you running off with those meatballs, your face is burned in my memory! I know it's you!"
"Uhhh…if you're looking for a job here, you'll have to talk to my boss." Mugsy tries to change the topic to something he actually understands.
"I ain't here for a job, idiot! I'm here for my meatballs back!"
"Hi here for my meatballs back, I'm Dad!" says Dad.
"Get outta here!" Hagar yells at Dad.
"Hey, maybe he knows the recipe, don't be so rude!" Mugsy scolds Hagar.
"Nah nah nah, it was MAMA'S recipe! Papa ain't got nothing to do with it!"
"You seem a little tense, you know what always calms my nerves when I'm stressed? A nice, steaming hot meatball. You want one?"
"Damn straight I want one!" Hagar says, and Mugsy tosses him a meatball, which Hagar catches in one hand. "If I find out that this is one of my mama's meatballs, you'll be real sorry!"
Just as Hagar is about to bite into the meatball, loss averter enters the building upstairs and starts making a weird noise again, which distracts Hagar, prompting him to head back upstairs to investigate. When Hagar arrives upstairs, loss averter stares him down unnervingly, before taking a long step towards him, noticing the meatball in his hand. Hagar hides the meatball behind his back, as loss averter begins to breathe down his throat. Hagar sweats nervously, as loss averter continues breathing heavily, the paint on the ceiling beginning to flake off and spin around while still just barely attached. As Hagar slips the meatball into his pocket, strange music begins to play, and the paint flakes spin faster. Hagar continues to stand his ground, but so does loss averter, the music only getting louder and the spinning only getting faster, as loss averter begins to make its own vocalizations on top of the music. Just as Hagar is preparing to potentially attack loss averter, all the noises and spinning suddenly stop abruptly, and loss averter calmly walks downstairs, seemingly having been attempting to locate more meatballs. Hagar takes a deep breath, completely forgetting about Mugsy due to this encounter, and he rushes out of the building with his meatball still in his pocket.
Elsewhere, in the Costa Bravan sub-region known as Hefflica, Grarg has become increasingly paranoid, refusing to even leave his home at this point. Whenever he stares in one direction for too long, he starts to see fleeting motions out of the corners of his eyes, and he's become too anxious to even continue reading his book, spending long stretches of time holed up in his closet with the lights off. Grarg feels a disturbance, and peeks through the shutters of his bedroom window, his blood running cold as he sees a figure standing at the end of his driveway, seemingly staring directly back at him. This figure, with his executioner's hood and deadly axe, is unmistakably SagnusScrotum Slowly, the keeper of Pinky Pacts, who has come to reap Grarg as punishment for his inability to stay true to his vow. Grarg gulps and runs back into his closet, barricading the door with a number 3 pencil, as he hears his front door being kicked down by Sagnus, who begins a full investigation of Grarg's household. Grarg hyperventilates into a silencer, as Sagnus looks in typical hiding spots, such as under the bed and in the sink cabinet. In said cabinet, Sagnus finds several near-empty bottles of mouthwash, in which the liquid contents have turned completely black. Sagnus pours some of the liquid onto his finger and licks it, creating a small floating orb that moves in the general direction of Grarg before bursting. Sagnus follows the orb, being led to the closet, but feels like nobody would be foolish enough to hide in there, and that he may be getting led into a trap. As Sagnus contemplates his options, Grarg makes the potentially fatal mistake of sneezing, missing his silencer in the process. Sagnus turns around and begins creeping towards the door, as Grarg freaks out, trying to undo his pencil barricade to escape, but finding the pencil to be totally stuck. Sagnus rattles the closet door, and then begins the process of lockpicking, which is very suspenseful and scary for Grarg, but since the door is not locked, this is not a successful means of gaining entry for Sagnus. With seemingly no other obvious options, Sagnus begins to slowly rip away individual molecules of the closet with his bare hands. Grarg desperately attempts to use ventriloquism techniques he read about once to lure Sagnus away, but his lack of prowess with these skills causes him to fail, and simply confirm Sagnus's suspicion that someone is hiding in the closet. With his suspicions confirmed, Sagnus decides to finally whip out the old battleaxe, and begins to chop through the door. Grarg screams for help, but Manuel, who was the only other remaining member of the household, cannot help, as Grarg had already cooked and eaten him. Sagnus breaks a hole through the door and sticks his head through, and Grarg shrieks and screams in terror, as Sagnus crawls through the hole all the way and knocks Grarg out with the blunt edge of his battleaxe, before dragging him back out through the hole, taking him away to a location suitable to perform the proper Pactbreaker Ritual, which in this case, happens to be the library's basement. When Grarg awakens, he finds Sagnus standing before him, holding three bobby pins and a slingshot in a very unnerving fashion.
"I didn't sign a waiver for this." Grarg states, trying to reason with SagnusScrotum. Sagnus waggles a finger, rummaging through his pants until he finds a crumpled up paper, which he unfolds to reveal that, in forming the Pinky Pact with Librarin, Grarg did in fact sign a waiver, waiving his right to live in the case that he broke the promise he made. As Grarg checks to see that his pinkies are still present on his hands, Sagnus melds together the three bobby pins into a very small man named Bobby Pin, who Sagnus then slingshots directly towards Grarg's nostril. However, Bobby is intercepted midair by a spectacularly stupid individual snatching him with his really long tongue, before swallowing him whole. Both Grarg and Sagnus are shocked to see this take place, and when they turn to see who was responsible, they find it to be none other than Dumb Donald, making use of his Stand, Hot Dad. Donald was not intentionally helping Grarg, nor intentionally hindering Sagnus, but rather he was in search of a good meal after not eating for an entire week. Satisfied with his meal, Donald walks away, the Vector Axis falling out of his back pocket. Grarg tries to make a run for it out of the open basement door, and Sagnus loads up the Vector Axis into his slingshot, accidentally pricking his finger on the Axis in the process. Sagnus for some reason expects this to have some kind of wacky effect, such as manifesting a new ability, but it does absolutely nothing other than making his finger bleed a little bit. Sagnus launches the Vector Axis right at Grarg's face hole, and Grarg is hit directly halfway up the stairs, causing him to tumble all the way back down. The first noticeable effect of this is that Grarg is now vectorized, and can be high resolution at any distance. All out of ammo for the slingshot, Sagnus begins running towards Grarg to use it as a blunt weapon, since he left his battleaxe outside. Grarg tries to run back up the stairs, but Sagnus outspeeds him, beating him over the head with the slingshot and causing him to tumble in slow motion all the way back down the stairs. Sagnus sneakily hides a banana peel on the stairs before Grarg gets back up, so when Grarg tries once again to ascend the flight, he slips on it and topples all the way back down. In this final topple, Grarg accidentally swallows something sharp and pointy, but he is more concerned about figuring out where the secret entrance to basement 2 is, viewing that as his best option of escape since Sagnus keeps puppy-guarding the main exit. Grarg starts checking every individual cobweb for fake spiders, moving quickly to avoid being caught up to by Sagnus, who is still pursuing him. Sagnus finally ditches the slingshot, deciding that he's better off bare-handed at this point. As Grarg is examining a golden spider web worth at least fifty gold, a figure suddenly appears beside him, startling him and causing him to accidentally break the golden web.
"Who are you?" Grarg asks the figure.
"I am Warthog Run." the figure responds, pushing his glasses up along the bridge of his long nose.
"When and how did you get down here?" Grarg asks, glancing around to try and locate Sagnus. Sagnus seems to be out of sight, which has Grarg on edge that he could be anywhere, but in reality, Sagnus got lost in the furnace room and has to navigate around it to find his way back out. Warthog Run, being the bookworm that he is, grabs a book from the floor of the basement.
"This will help you when you need it." Warthog Run says.
"Thanks, but you never answered my question." Grarg says. He opens the book, and it forms into a large filing cabinet, just in time for Grarg to hide inside it as Sagnus finds his way out of the furnace room. Sagnus begins to sniff the air, having read that Grarg never showers after gym class. Sure enough, the distinct odors of wimpy kid sweat, Vector Axis, and stolen books can be detected emanating from the filing cabinet. As Sagnus begins to shake the filing cabinet aggressively, Grarg starts deleting files to mask his scent, as this deletion process consumes smell particles as a reactant. Finding no good way of opening or breaking into the filing cabinet, but still being certain of Grarg's presence within, Sagnus takes a magnet and drags it around along the exterior of the cabinet, eventually making a distinct thunk sound as it pulls on the Vector Axis in Grarg's stomach, dragging him against the wall. Sagnus attempts to jimmy open the door, despite jimmy's protests. Grarg tries to hold the door shut, which is only delaying the inevitable, but Warthog Run remains brave in these circumstances, and hands Grarg another book. When opened, this book becomes a long, thin string, connected to a fish hook. With jimmy leading to no success, Sagnus just uses brute force to get the door to start opening, as brute is much stronger and more reliable for this process, even if he is just as tired of being used to open doors as jimmy is. Grarg tries to use the fishing line, but the magnet is tugging at the hook, so he bites it off, though for some reason, this causes one of his own fingers to fall off as well. jimmy and brute both retreat from the scene through the currently-unguarded basement door.
"OW why did that happen?!" Grarg exclaims in pain.
"Well, you can't just hurt your Stand, dingus! That'll hurt you in the process!" Warthog Run laughs, his own finger falling off to match Grarg's wound.
"Stand? I don't need to worry about standing if we can't make it out of here alive!" Grarg complains, as Sagnus pries the door open further and further. Grarg pries himself away from the magnetic force of the wall, and ties the fishing line to both ends of the doorway of this abnormally large and spacious filing cabinet, just as Sagnus backs up to get a running start at Grarg, charging him down at full speed. Grarg retreats to the back of the cabinet once more, and as Sagnus bolts inside, his head is severed by the fishing line trap, and falls to the ground, his body following a few seconds later. The souls of billions of people lost to broken Pinky Pacts scream out as they erupt forth from SagnusScrotum's body, only very few being able to return to their bodies, with the rest going to the vector space dimension. Grarg begins to increase in resolution, though he caps out at 4k. Just outside of the library, General Albert finally finds Dumb Donald, and demands to know the whereabouts of the Vector Axis. Donald simply remains quiet, not wanting to reveal to Albert that he lost it.
