Out on the streets of Costa Brava, Bermuda is casually walking down the road, talking on his phone.
"Yeah, I heard about the fire, that's why I came to check this place out. I think I could get a lot done here, y'know? Hehehe." Bermuda lets out a whistly laugh through the gap in his teeth. "Anyways, it was nice talking to you, but all good things must come to an end. See you around…or will I?"
Bermuda snickers again, as though this was a very funny statement, and slips his cell phone into his pocket, not ending the call himself. To any astute observer, it would be noticeable that this call is to "911", which, in addition to his already suspicious behavior, is certain to raise some eyebrows. Thankfully, though, no such observers are in the vicinity, so this detail goes unnoticed.
"Can you hear us, Well Woo? Is everything alright?" Woo Hoo asks in a concerned tone. Woo Hoo, Weeb Woo, and Word Woo are all gathered around Dr. Woo, who seems to have mysteriously collapsed shortly after taking a call. Woo Hoo also noticed that one of the phones seemed to be missing after Dinomundo's rampage, but chalked that up as collateral damage from the attack, and didn't think too much of it. Weeb Woo takes Dr. Woo's pulse, and confirms that he is in fact still alive, but seems to be in some kind of comatose state. Weeb Woo holds up the phone that Dr. Woo was talking on, but all he hears on the other end is some ambient buzzing white noise, no voice or anything.
Cybr hears someone calling from downstairs in the basement, and heads down, briefly acknowledging the officers before going along his way without any concern for their plight. In the basement, Cybr doesn't find anything, but after heading down one more level, Cybr finds Cledit Card being harassed by loss averter.
"HELP ME!" Cledit cries out like one of those distressed people in a mobile game ad. Cybr rolls his eyes and picks up loss averter, bringing him upstairs and throwing him out the door, before heading back to his own workspace to continue the search for a new building. loss averter only remains outside for a mere minute, before walking back in and standing in the corner downstairs.
"Did he forget to activate his Stand or something?" Weeb Woo wonders aloud, still confused and concerned about Dr. Woo. "No, he would never-"
Mid-sentence, Weeb Woo suddenly collapses to the ground right next to Dr. Woo.
"Crap, this has to be some kind of attack! What do we do?!" Woo Hoo cries, looking over at Word Woo.
"The hell do you think I'm supposed to do about it? This one's all you, buddy." Word Woo says, retreating back to his office. Woo Hoo sighs, realizing that, with both Wee Woo and Wheel Woo gone, and Weeb Woo and Dr. Woo incapacitated, he is, in fact, the only member of the Station left to deal with this. Woo Hoo decides that the well-being of Dr. Woo and Weeb Woo comes first and foremost, so he heads out the door, bringing Dr. Woo and Weeb Woo with him, planning to pick up some anti-coma medicine from the nearest hospital. With nothing better to do while he's left all alone, Word Woo picks up the phone that Weeb Woo dropped, and starts using Word Crimes to fix the absolute lack of grammar present in the white noise coming from the other end.
As Woo Hoo is driving to the hospital in the Vengabus, which was the nearest usable vehicle, he suddenly notices someone else in the vehicle with him.
"Dude, you could've at least said we were going somewhere." Bunny comments, and Woo Hoo just sighs, but keeps his eyes on the road.
"I guess you're coming with me, then." Woo Hoo states. Bunny just shrugs and accepts this, and once the bus arrives at the hospital, both disembark and head inside, finding Mealius Coblat signing in at the reception desk for damaged eardrums. Once he's done, Woo Hoo and Bunny approach the counter, but the receptionist leaves to go to the bathroom, so they have to wait.
Elsewhere, in the great micronation of Minneapolis, a man by the name of Ryot Rion is currently causing trouble in one of the few places still intact after all the rioting: Riot Street, which is specifically built to be riot-resistant. Rion is currently on a rooftop, sprinkling pepper onto the angry masses to keep them nice and wild, but after enough of this, Rion grows bored, and heads deeper into town to do something better with his time. Rion heads to the anarchist-controlled Yiggy Dome, and peers in through the window, seeing a large and extremely detailed map of Minneapolis with pins and labels all over it. Rion cautiously enters the dome to get a better look. He can't quite hear what the anarchists are saying, but they're clearly scheming and plotting. Rion hopes that they don't know that he's still alive after the first riot, as he goes up to the board sneakily to look at all the labels on the pins. One which stands out to Rion is a pin labeled "you are here", which is clearly nowhere near the Yiggy Dome. Rion quickly snaps a picture of the map with a disposable camera, before skedaddling from the Yiggy Dome. Rion looks up directions to the nearest place where he can get the picture developed, and finds both a Walmart and Walgreens in the local area. After weighing his options, Rion decides that he would rather not risk an encounter with the resident Walgreens elder god, so he goes to Walmart instead, where the Walmart Crew is visible practicing its routine out in the parking lot. Without drawing any attention, Rion slinks into the Walmart and locates the chamber of development, printing the photo at the low and affordable cost of just 5 monetary units. Upon printing the photo, however, Rion is disappointed to see that Blastmir the 'Friendly' Ghost got in the way of most of the cool stuff in the picture. Rion weighs his options once again, between leaving town or trying to go back to the unsafety of the Yiggy Dome to retake the picture. Torn between these options, Ryot Rion consults his Stand, The Answer. The Answer pulls out a little notepad and starts to scribble away on it, before showing Ryot Rion its results. The paper simply reads "dying=bad", which Rion decides is reasonable, so he just skips town rather than sticking around any longer.
Back in the hospital, the receptionist, whose name tag reads "Juulian", emerges from the bathroom, with a massive cloud of vape smoke coming out after him before he closes the door. He returns to the reception desk, where Bunny and Woo Hoo have been awkwardly waiting, their only company being Bermuda, who is sitting alone in the lobby and laughing at something on his phone.
"Hey, do you have any coma medication we could get here? It's kind of an emergency." Woo Hoo says to Juulian.
"Uh, we don't sell it, but uh, we have it, in a lot of rooms here. Just, uh, head down the hall and walk into one of the rooms, it shouldn't be a problem to find."
Juulian glances at his watch for an oddly long time, not saying anything else to Woo Hoo and Bunny.
"Is that it?" Bunny asks, suspicious.
"Yeah, I just want this shift to end, it's basically over. Go on, get the medication or whatever." Juulian says, barely even looking at the two.
"Okay, but you basically just told us to rob you. Are you really just going to take our word that it's an emergency and let us take hospital resources like that? That's like, really irresponsible, dude." Bunny explains. However, Woo Hoo doesn't seem to care, and just rushes to the rooms that Juulian directed him to, quickly finding some coma-b-gone in a cabinet and heading back outside alongside Bunny to administer it to Dr. Woo and Weeb Woo in the Vengabus. Both officers are successfully awakened, but seem very confused about the current situation.
"Hold on, before either of you do anything, try to explain what happened before you were knocked out." Woo Hoo demands.
"Well, it's quite simple, really. I received a phone call about an emergency, and I assured the person on the other end that I would Never-" before Dr. Woo can complete this sentence, he falls unconscious again, and before Woo Hoo can wake him back up, his own phone rings, and he sees that it's a call from Word Woo.
"What is it? Is this really the time?" Woo Hoo says.
"Check your text messages." orders Word Woo, before hanging up. Woo Hoo does as he's told, and sees a message from Word Woo. The message says that Word Woo successfully decoded the white noise coming from the phone, finding out that it was actually a whispery voice saying the phrase "Never Say Never" repeatedly. With this new tidbit of information, the pieces start to fall together in Woo Hoo's head, and Bunny reads the texts and comes to the same realization as Woo Hoo. Both of them also realize that the bus radio has been producing the same white noise that was coming from the phone back at the WCL building, or rather, Woo Hoo realizes this, and explains it to Bunny.
"Well, I guess I can see what happened, then. But it doesn't actually seem like there's too much of a threat here. This feels more just like a very poor taste prank." Woo Hoo ponders to himself, administering the coma-b-gone to Dr. Woo to wake him back up again. However, Woo Hoo suddenly notices that Dr. Woo seems to have a pale and sickly demeanor, and Weeb Woo doesn't exactly seem to be in the best shape, either.
"My medical expertise tells me that I have about two or three minutes left to live before the effects of this attack kill me." Dr. Woo says calmly. "I have also now realized that this was likely specifically aimed at me, because the trigger for the attack seems to be the utterance of the first word associated with my Stand ability."
"Two or three minutes?! How do we stop it?!" Woo Hoo demands, grabbing Dr. Woo by the shoulders.
"You would need to locate and incapacitate the Stand user before that time runs out. It's also more like one or two minutes now."
Bunny has heard enough, and decides to go back into the hospital to deal with this himself. As he enters back through the doors, he notices that there are several more people in the lobby than there were before, and what sounds like a prerecorded message starts to play over the speakers.
"Not much time left, huh? Everyone always said, my ability is too specific! It couldn't kill anyone! You're basically useless! Well, look at who's useless now! You've figured it out, but it's still too late to save your friends, and yourself, too!"
Clearly this prerecorded message was made with the intention of someone under the effects of Never Say Never hearing it, but Bunny is not any such person, so the last bit doesn't pertain to him. Nobody else in the hospital lobby seems to have even heard the message, though, which Bunny finds highly suspicious. Bermuda suddenly lets out a loud cackle, and Bunny snatches his phone from him.
"What's so funny, huh?!" Bunny demands, looking at the phone screen and expecting to see some kind of evidence that Bermuda was the one calling the police, but all he sees is a bunch of triangles on the screen, which Bermuda seems to think is incredibly funny. Bunny pulls up the recently called list, but the only person of note on there is Worse Woo, who Bermuda has named "911" on his contacts list. Juulian is currently vaping, and Bunny, without hesitation, jumps over the counter and tackles Juulian to the ground.
"What the hell?! I used a voice changer and everything, how did you know it was me?!" Juulian gasps, as Bunny clenches his fists around his neck.
"I didn't. But now I do." Bunny declares.
"NOOOO! I LOST!" Juulian cries, and Bunny smacks him in the face relentlessly, until the white noise coming from the hospital speakers becomes even more garbled and fades out altogether. Bunny storms back out of the hospital and into the Vengabus.
"I dealt with the Stand guy." Bunny states.
"Oh. Thanks." Woo Hoo says, surprised that Bunny even cared to help at all. Woo Hoo drives the Vengabus back to the WCL headquarters, with everyone coming out of the encounter completely unharmed for once.
