Mayron opens his eyes, finding himself to be attached to a hook on a moving belt, lodged into the hole in his forehead. Mayron watches passing scenes of enslaved reptiles performing menial tasks such as relocating lava from one pool to another with buckets, testing giant mallets on each other's heads, and testing the depth of bottomless pits by jumping into them. Mayron immediately recognizes the setting as being his boss's evil lair, and as he looks to where he's being taken, he sees a big statue resembling his boss's ghoulish reptilian visage. The mouth of the statue opens wide to allow the hook to pass through, and Mayron's boss looms before him in the shadows, before leaning forwards and belching out a huge wave of fire which is hot enough to melt away Mayron's carbon coating, turning him back into a skeletal form known as Dry Mayro.

"You pathetic weakling…you disappoint me very much. I have a new task for you, since your previous mission was a horrible failure." Mayro's boss bellows. "You are to take this giant artisan q-tip, which is priceless by the way, I expect it to return undamaged, and you will bring it to Craig's room, and you will thoroughly clean out his navel until HE says you have done a satisfactory job."

Mayro's boss thrusts the giant q-tip into Mayro's arms, before smacking him to send his hook back down the line he came on. The hook follows the line a little ways back, and then veers to the side and deposits Mayro into a long chute. Mayro tries his best to hold the q-tip to minimize the damage taken on the way down, and then emerges into a lava-filled room with floating platforms and an enormous beast on the opposite side, making loud chewing and burping noises as it munches on giant pieces of garlic from a bowl floating in the lava beside it.

"Oh, Mayro, is that you over there? Haven't seen you lately, hey, you should try some of this garlic, it's fresh."

As Craig speaks, green stink lines come out of his mouth and travel all the way across the room to Mayro, threatening to pull the q-tip out of his hands. Mayro manages to hold tight as he's dragged to the edge of the lava, and then begins the process of jumping along the platforms to reach Craig.

"Oh shit, you've got the q-tip, yeah it's gotten real bad in there lately, hang on let me show you. Have a look around in there." Craig unbuttons the front of his humongous overalls, causing them to drop forwards and create an extra platform on the lava, and exposing his vile, infested bellybutton. A few scurrying critters escape from the cavity when it comes into view, and Mayro lands on the overalls and gulps.

"Mamma mia…"

Elsewhere, Metroid Prime Remastered is riding in the back of a Goo'br, having to resort to alternate means of travel since his ship is out of commission. As the car moves along, Metroid Prime Remastered is monologuing out loud, while writing it into his autobiography.

"Ridley…you vile beast, you…mama, papa, it may be some time yet before your souls can truly rest in peace…I'd say I'll meet you in heaven, but with what I plan to do, I'm not so sure that's where I'll be going. I've been thinking of some things to say when that moment finally comes, when Ridley is on his knees begging for mercy. I'm thinking something like, 'I got you now, you bastard', or, maybe that's too soft. Maybe, 'eat shit and go to hell, motherfucker'. Wait, I can't write that in here, that's-"

"Dude can you shut the fuck up back there? Nobody asked for your life story." the driver suddenly speaks up, interrupting Metroid Prime Remastered. "You made me turn the radio off like an hour ago, and this shit has been nonstop since."

"Actually, when I got in the car, you said 'feel free to share your life story'." Metroid Prime Remastered retorts with a raised finger.

"That's just part of this shitass company's whole MO, it's in the script. They dock my pay if I don't stick to it."

"Hmph. Well then, how much longer until we get there? To Ridley's Fortress?"

"Dude, for the last time, there's no roads that go to 'Ridley's Fortress'. I don't even know who that is, and you didn't even give me an address, you just said I'd know it when I saw it. Anyways, I pulled into the parking lot a couple of minutes ago. This is where you get off."

"Ridley's Fortress has a parking lot?"

"No, this is the Domin Pizza at the end of all roads. I literally cannot drive any further, you have to find your own way from here."

"Fine then. But I won't be tipping." Metroid Prime Remastered opens the car door and turns into a ball and rolls away, while Pyarce scoffs in the driver's seat.

"Goddamn moron." Pyarce mutters, before doing a precarious three-point turn to turn around without driving off of the sheer cliff at the edge of the parking lot.
