Walking back through the Courtyard again, Brad noticed a shed he didn't check the last time he was here, so decided to do that first. He heard crying coming from inside, so he opened the door and saw the final musketeer robot, Roda. 

"Roda? What's the matter?" Brad asked in a worried voice. 

She didn't look up at Brad, but began to speak anyway. 

"You saw what was in that well, didn't you? How could they DO that to Dave and Rachel?!" The robot bawled, leaking out digital tears across her face screen. 

"Hey, It's gonna be ok. No matter what it takes, I'll rescue them. I promise." Brad said, hugging the robotic Rachel look-alike. 

She then calmed down and looked at the rabbit in his eyes. 

"When I saw them like that, I completely lost it and ran around the mansion to find a hiding place!" She said, despair written on her face. "But while I was running, I spotted some things that belonged to the others lying around the place. A glove, Rachel's necklace, Melody's headband, Midnight's goggles and a letter." 

"I already found those a while ago." Brad informed her. 

"Oh....well, I feel stupid now. Anyway, what're you gonna do now?" Roda asked the rabbit. 

"I'm gonna continue my mission of recapturing all the ghosts in this mansion and save my family, no matter what obstacles are thrown my way." Our hero said with determination. "In the meantime, you should probably send a message to Doda and Boda and let them know that you're ok. They were worried about you when I found them." 

"You're right, Brad. I'll do that now. But first, let me do this." 

Roda then scanned Brad using her pointer finger and 'saved his progress', which Brad still didn't understand how that worked. She wished him the best of luck as he bid her farewell. A few minutes later, Brad had arrived at the door to the Safari Room and unlocked it, heading inside. He shined his flashlight everywhere, noting that the room looked pretty creepy and no ghosts were popping up. 

"They must be waiting to get the jump on me..." Brad said through chattering teeth. 

He was proven right when an ugly, blue ghost appeared and made strange noises as it came for him. It was a water ghost, but Brad didn't have any ice on standby to destroy it! 

"This ain't good!!!" Brad screamed as the ghost turned its fists huge and slammed the ground, sending a mild shockwave around. This made the rabbit go crashing into the wall. 

"Yeah...I gotta go get some ice..." He mumbled. 

One quick trip to the Tea Room later, he came back, ready to take out that ghost once and for all. It made its appearance known, and Brad make quick work of it. A couple of more appeared in the room, but the titular Toon put up a fight and soon cleared this room, bringing the lights back on and with another chest. Inside was another key, which Brad held onto before hearing his watch go off. Looking at the screen, there was Professor Nicole on it once again. 

"Well done, Brad, my friend. This time, I got a special bit of information for ya. You know about the elements, right?" She asked him. 

"Right." Brad replied. 

"Anybody will tell you that one can always cancel out the other. In your case, water beats fire, fire can beat ice, and ice beats out water. Heh heh heh...ya get me?" 

"Yeah, I get you, Nicole." Brad nodded his head. 

She then said her goodbyes and turned off her end of the call. The rabbit then looked around the room for the Gremlin, and found it hiding in the carpet. It flew out into the air and said:
