In the hallway, Lucas was looking around for an exit. "Huh, wonder how the heck I'll get out of here." Lucas said to himself. Lucas then noticed an iron door on the left. Lucas then decided to open it. When he went in, he saw an elevator and a ghost next to it sitting on a chair. Lucas then went up to him. "Excuse me, is this the place that leads to the basement?" Lucas asked. The ghost then woke up. "Oh, yeah, that elevator does lead down there, and you know you could have made a more calming entrance." The ghost responded. Lucas then had a very bad feeling. "Well, here goes nothing." Lucas said. Lucas then went in, and then it was heading down. "This music is quite nice." Lucas said. Ness was still in the dining room, as he was just staring at everyone's plates. Ness then felt the same uneasy feeling. "Why did you have to come back?" Ness asked himself. Ness then heard a voice that told him to go through. Ness then got up and opened the door. As he headed downstairs, he heard noises that were familiar to him. When he made it fully down, he a red circle made of blood and candles. "So, I guess this is where I must be." Ness said to himself. Ness then sat down, and then some red surrounded him. "So I'm going to hell now." Ness said to himself. Then from the red, Giygas came out, in his original form before he went inside the devil's machine. "So, we meet again." Ness said. Giygas then swirled around him. "It's nice to see a familiar face like you." Giygas said. "So, I had no idea that you looked like some alien before you looked like some nightmarish sight." Ness said. "Well, if only you understood." Giygas said. Ness was then confused. "I'm sorry what?" Ness asked. Giygas then closed his eyes for a brief second and then turned around. "You see, I used to just be part of some species, and one day, my species captured these two people. One of them treated me very well and sang this song that meant a lot to me, but the other one studied the power of our species and then left, and I was told to go and reclaim it." Giygas said. "So, go on." Ness said. "And when I finally came face to face with three young kids, they brought these memories back, and I couldn't handle it, so I left." Giygas said. Ness then felt a bit amused. "Well, that doesn't change what you did." Ness said. Giygas then felt some rage inside. "Well, all of you humans all think your lives are perfect, and all of you decided to come up with this plan to completely destroy me, and you all wanted me dead." Giygas said. "Well, you were certainly no good one, you literally just wanted to rule over everything, and with everything you cause, I think you need..." Giygas then came to interrupt. "Well what, that I went completely berserk and thought of killing you all, despite all of my tragedies." Giygas said. Ness then felt anger. "Well who cares, you needed to specifically get killed and wiped off, so you don't literally just claim this very place as your own." Ness said. "Fine, well you and your friends all felt like they had such important and tragic lives, yet you treated and made me feel like I was a planetary threat, and you could've known what happened before, but instead you all just ignored it, and instead, your friend should have been killed instead, but of course you wouldn't have known any of that, because you humans have never done anything good for the planet you've lived on." Giygas said. Giygas and the red mist then disappeared, while Ness had a bit of reflection. "Well, I guess I should've known about that stuff then." Ness said to himself. Ness then got up with an empty feeling inside of him. Eventually, Lucas got off of the elevator and saw a hallway with a light at the end. "Well, this is my destination." Lucas said. As he continued walking, he eventually saw a room with a fire chimney and some child-like things like board games and bookshelves with kid's books on them. Lucas then heard someone humming a nursery rhyme. SD then turned his chair around. "Welcome, my dear Lucas." SD said. "Come sit down." SD said. Lucas then felt uncomfortable but decided to follow his orders. SD continued his humming. Lucas then wondered what has gone up with him. "So, how have you been doing?" SD asked Lucas. "Uh, good I guess." Lucas responded. SD then leaned closer. "You know, some other visitors have come by." SD said. "Where are they?" Lucas asked. SD then did a little chuckle. "You know, they were in this large room, one that was quite big for all of them, and they all went in this other room, where the ghosts all had fun with them, with them having screams of joy." SD said. "Well, they all had fun at least, and they may still be here, but if they enjoy, then that is all you need then, right." Lucas said. SD then put his claw hand on Lucas' head. "And you know, they quite satisfied me a lot with how tasty they were." SD said. Lucas then got up and backed away from him. "Wait, what do you mean?" Lucas asked. SD then  had a little grin. "You see, that meal we had, was the people who came here." SD responded. Lucas was then shocked. "What kind of madman are you?" Lucas asked. SD then got up. "And hearing them scream and them getting tortured to death, with us cutting them limb by limb, and them getting burned alive and them getting gassed and seeing the ghosts beat them to death, and then eating them alive was such a great thing." SD responded in a very psychotic way. "You don't belong here, you are someone who needs to be taken care of immediately." Lucas said. "Look, I don't care if I'm fucking crazy, we want to torture humans as they do to animals, so they can get a fucking beat down." SD said in a very insane way. Lucas then felt like he was about to pass out from what he was hearing. Then out of nowhere, the man came out and destroyed the wall. SD was then shocked, and Lucas then ran away. "So, we meet again." The man said. "So, you managed to get away out." SD said. The man then came forward a bit. "You know, the darkness within you is what I need because I must get it if I want my plan to succeed." The man said. "Well, why are so desiring of this thing I don't even know of." SD said. "Well, you have this power that I need, and I was told from the past that I must get this to succeed, to become one within this world." The man said. "Well, suck on this." SD said. SD then scratched him and then went running to the elevator. "Fine, you wing again you coward." The man said. SD then went up the elevator. "Now, time to find those three." SD said. Kumatora was sitting down in a storage room when both Lucas and Ness entered in. "Oh hey you guys, what's with the looks?" Kumatora asked. "Well, I feel dead inside after someone talked to me." Ness said. Kumatora and Ness then noticed how panicked Lucas was. "Lucas, are you okay?" Kumatora asked. "Well, me and Ness were having a meal with that guy, and when he told me what it was later on, he said to me that he killed the people that came in here and then ate them." Lucas said. Kumatora and Ness then had a face of shock. "Well, maybe it was a good thing that I didn't eat any." Ness said. "Well, I guess I now know what those screams were." Kumatora said. "Well, I think we should just stop this guy." Lucas said. Then out of nowhere, SD came crashing through the roof. "So, I think I found my prey." SD said. "Hey, if you're thinking of eating us, then be prepared to fight us all." Ness said. "Oh, I have a better plan." SD said. SD then quickly shot out an orb at the three, and then they all got knocked out. "Splendid, now time to bring them to the ancient place." SD said. SD then took the three and then went out of the room.
