Meanwhile, back outside, Auroa overhears the kids mentioning something obscure while construction commenced.

“What are you two bragging about?”

Niko turned away in disbelief.

“It’s true! My friends and I heard voices from the east side.” Miko brought up.

“Voices?” Alistor questioned.

“When was this?” Auroa wondered.

Miko begins elaborating.

“Earlier, when we were cleaning. My friends and I decided to check the east field for any mess. That’s when we spotted an unusual wooden compartment from a distance. We were tempted to check, but then we heard voices.”

Miko and a couple girls were seen crouched behind a bush.

“Can you describe the voice by chance?” Alistor added.

“Well, it was like a moan. A cry for help or something. But we were scared, and it could have been a ghost no doubt.”

The camp continues with the labor for the remainder of the day. Nightfall soon arrives as everyone was ready for sleep. Auroa is seen reading a book by a small lamp. A group of kids is seen sneaking right out.

“Ok, Miko I’ll go. But you better not be making this up.”

“Trust me! I know what I saw.”

Miko is seen leading the way with a flashlight. The sound of owls hooting and crickets chirping as they walked by. The kids come to a halt behind a big bush.

“Ok, you got the camera? And you remember to bring the s’mores right?”

“Of course Miko.”

Niko is seen pulling out the bag of marshmallows. The kids quickly spot the wooden booth nearby. They immediately hear the moans upon flashing the light over.

“Well…Go and check it out?” Miko ordered.

“What? Me! No! I don’t want to.”

The two quickly turned to the other kids, but they backed away.

“Ok, then how about we go together then. You hold the light while I get the camera.”

Niko quickly agreed to her proposition. The two begin approaching the fallen stall as the sound grew louder. The other kids quickly came in to help turn the compartment around. Miko reached for the doors.

“Man it smells so bad.” Niko mentioned.

“On the count of three.”

Without hesitation the door flew open with a half-naked man emerging.

“EEEEEEEEEK!!!!”

Without a second thought the kids quickly panicked as the man fell right over. The kids quickly rushed back to the camp alerting everyone. Maigashi came barging out with his weapon on hand.

“Are we under attack? Speak to me!”

“Some fat half naked bald guy jumped out at us.” Miko cried.

The kids were seen shaken in their boots. He immediately fires a shot in the air to silence the situation.

“Oh really eh?”

“Do you think your weapon is necessary?” Auroa questioned.

Bamboo’s frying pan caught his eye.

“You’re right! We got a potential predator on hand, so drastic force is needed.”

He grabs the pan right off from Bamboo’s hand.

“Hey I just washed that.”

“Relax, I’ll give it back right after. This is serious business.”

Without further ado, the party heads to investigate the scene. Maigashi spearheads the front armed with the pan as Alistor flashed the light. Bamboo and Auroa followed from behind as the kids stayed close.

“Hey is that chocolate I smell?” Bamboo said.

“Niko, did you remember to bring back our snacks?” Miko asked.

“Um…No, I sort of forgot.”

They then hear a sound coming from the distance. Maigashi goes to take cover behind the bush.

“Look like something crawling our way. Get ready!”

Meanwhile, somewhere back with Shellshock, he overlooks the progress of the new base. Disappointment in his eyes. A glamourous big treehouse was set in place.

“Leave it to child labor. This looks nothing like the new fortress.”

He tears the blueprint to shreds.

“I can’t even look at it. Pink!”

Back with Alistor and the team, Maigashi readies to strike as the figure slowly begin approaching. The figure is seen tripping over a bag left on the ground.

“Oh no! Our s’mores!” Niko gasped.

“Mmmm, can this day get any worse?”

Without hesitation, Maigashi goes in for the strike. The kids were seen cheering on as he laid the beating on the intruder. With a series of quick blows he was down in a split second. Alistor shines the light over revealing the half-naked man.

“Who are you?” Bamboo asked.

Completely smeared from the marshmallow and chocolate, he goes to remove the rag in his mouth.

“Who am I? I’m the director! Who the heck are you?”

“Why we’re the helper’s aid of course.” Maigashi saluted.

“Wait a minute…The director is back in his office.” Alistor pointed.

They continue to question the man.

“Yeah, how do we know you’re not lying?” Bamboo pestered.

A furious look was seen in the director’s eye.

“You morons! I’m the real director! That robot is a complete imposter. He took my clothes and I’ve been trapped ever since. How can you be fooled by such a terrible disguise? Some aids you are.”

“Is he red? Cause our director was coated in green.” Alistor pressed on.

“Of course he’s red!”

The children suddenly recognized the man’s face in a matter of moments. A mistake of identity on hands.

“We’re sorry. We were scared. We thought you were some creeper.” Niko explained.

After a while to unwind and recuperate, Alistor comes to a stand.

“Shellshock is behind this. We can’t let him get away. Come on!”

Within moments the party came barging into the office. Their weapons ready on hand for battle.

“So you finally figured out.”

The general removes his cheap disguise. The green coating on his armor shifts back to his usual red.

“You’re through! We got you now.”

A microwave sits behind the counter.

“Oh, I’m shaking under my metal boots. This camp really is starting to blow and I’m getting bored. Negmanite! Get over here!”

Within a flash, the microwave explodes into bits and pieces. Negmanite emerges from behind the electrical socket. Kids begin to panic out of the room.

“I don’t want my blood sucked.” Niko cried.

“Me too!!!” Miko screamed.

Alistor takes his stand against the monster.

“It’s too crammed in here. We need to take this outside.” Auroa suggested.

The party rushes out of the office as the monster came crashing through the window. Maigashi goes on to fire a few shots.

“Let me have the first hit.”

Three electrical arrows hit Negmanite, but the attack is seen getting absorbed within contact. The monster retaliates with a wave of beams of sparking towards them.

“Damn my moves will be useless.” Maigashi nods.

Bamboo goes to take cover shielding the children as Auroa goes in with his whip. The monster avoids his winds without effort.

“This one’s fast. I can’t get a lock on it.”

Alistor make a strike, but misses. Negmanite is seen moving through the leaky pipes and power sockets.

“Ha! Ha! Ha! My monster won’t go down that easily. Look around! We’re surrounded by power and drain systems. Negmanite is made of energy.”

Within moments the labyrinth can be seen shadowing over Hazefall. The power systems below blacks out, leaving only the campfire in place.

“This isn’t good.”

The monster proceeds to the next faucet as Alistor attempts to land a direct hit. He continues to mindlessly swing, but Negmanite proceed to retaliate with a gush of water.

“Looks like you’re all washed up.” The general pestered. “Now finish him!”

Negmanite proceeds with a few stomps to the ground as Alistor did his best to roll out of danger. Auroa intervenes with a few whips to stall, but gets sent back from a blast of water.

“Watch yourself!”

Alistor makes his way to the director’s position. The man still half naked stumbled over as he slips by. The monster immediately comes to a halt.

“Something disrupting it!” Maigashi pointed.

A stunned look was on the general.

A sticky substance lied smeared below the monster’s feet. Its form begins to deteriorate from the bottom as Alistor went in to make a cut. Slicing off part of its leg, the monster quickly pulls itself to the nearest drain.

“What? Argh! Of all the weakness.”

Before the party had a chance to charge forward, the general takes to the air.

“A change of plans! We already drained the power! Now we need to fully contaminate the water. Negmanite! Get to the dam!”

The monster materialized into the leaking pipe as it makes way to the Hazefall dam. Before the party proceeded any further they quickly begin gathering some supplies in the kitchen.

“What are we looking for?” Bamboo asked.

“Anything that’s sticky.” Auroa pointed. “I got a plan.”

Bamboo pulls out a huge jar of maple from the cupboard.

“Will this do?”

“Perfect!”

Back outside...

“So what’s the quickest way to reach to the dam?” Alistor asked.

“Well, there’s a big gondola that can take us there in a few minutes.” Niko mentioned.

“Then lead the way.”

As Niko led the way, Negmanite arrives on top of the dam.

“Now get to work!”

The monster begins soaking its arms into the waters. Slowly polluting the system as negative energy flowed to the labyrinth.

“Good! In a matter of moments, nothing but a waste field will be left behind.” Shellshock mumbled to himself.

“Sorry to rain on your parade.”

Alistor and the team arrive to the scene.

“Argh! Whoopers get them!”

Enemy soldiers begin rushing forward, but Maigashi jumps in.

“I’ll handle these bogeys. Take out that monster!”

Bamboo begins setting the jar in place as Alistor charged at the monster.

“Here goes!”

Negmanite halts with the draining as Alistor came in with a Star Breaker. The monster dives into the waters, stopping him in place.

“Where did you go?”

Geysers begin shooting from the dam as everyone rushed to higher grounds. Whoopers are seen getting swept away by the friendly fire. Negmanite came emerging from a geyser as Alistor fell back.

“Whoah watch out!” Bamboo hollered.

Within a split second the wind begins shifting the waters back.

“What? A change in altitude?” Questioned Shellshock.

Negmanite lands over the ground delivering a softer impact. The sound of a jar shatters from the crack of a whip.

“Oh no! Negmanite!”

The general retreats back as Auroa emerged from the shadow.

“Now Alistor!”

The monster lies completely covered in the syrup’s sticky mess as Alistor delivers the final blow.

“Star Breaker!”

Negmanite’s entire body begins breaking from the inside as sparks flew. Shellshock begins to back away as the monster falls into the water, creating a huge explosion. Water rains over the scene.

“I’ll get you next time!”

The general flies off into the horizon as the labyrinth fades away. A morning light begins to break in with a rainbow appearing over Hazefall.

“Well, ya look at that.” Bamboo smiled.

The camp looks over to admire the sight. Sometime later the party was seen packing as the kids proceed to bid their farewells.

“Well, it was a lot of fun.” Niko admitted. “Hope you’ll visit in the future.”

“We’ll never forget you.” Miko smiled. “That dollhouse was fun!”

A distasteful look was seen on the director’s face as the rest waved goodbye. Bamboo takes off with the car into the horizon.

“And that was Hazefall.” Alistor muttered.

“Too bad we couldn’t stay longer.” Maigashi shrugged.

“Yeah… Being let off is something.” Auroa admitted. “I don’t think we’ll be back anytime soon. We’re not what you call the ideal candidates in the director’s eye.”

The team starts to have a small laugh.

“See! Good bonding we have here.” Bamboo noted. “If you guys keep up the hard work, next week I might take us someplace snowy.”

The final sight of the Hazefall Dam stands strong from the distance.
