"Who's that?" Max yells out. Every one of the group is tied up to a chair with a rope. "Explain yourself!" Max continues to yell, with heroic intentions. "Unfortunately, I refuse to tell you my identity..." "Why not?!" Meg joins in. "Hold on! You look quite familiar..." Edgar points out. As he recalls his memory from the game. "Guys! He's that customer that started this whole dilemma!"

"He... He is!" Colt mutters out. Spike's eyes widen (Real name: Speck Mendez), not knowing how to speak. "What's the whole meaning of this?!" Surge joins in. "So many question, so little answers." Said the mysterious man, "Do not worry, I'll be explaining." He proceeds to activate the screen, every brawler watches. "I did not expect you guys do break free from the trap."

"Starr Park's main plan is to take over the world," He starts his monologue, as the screen plays an ominous video. "Our original plan was to take victims, enhance their battle knowledge through a simulation within models and use them to help the domination." Everyone helplessly listens on their chairs. "But why use innocent and unsuspecting victims?" Max asks the man.

"That... I'd rather not answer." "Oh come on! I bet you're doing that on purpose!" Surge exclaims, shooting a dirty look at the man. "Enough with your nonsense!" He says, abruptly walking over to the exit. "That video will be able to brainwash you back to our side, and you'll go back to your stations, and get the game back up and running!" He slams the door behind him.

"You guys need to resist!" Meg calls out, keeping her eyes shut. Though it'd prove to be futile, for the video has effective sound. Everyone here thinks there is no hope left, until all of a sudden, Amber was able to escape! "Amber?! How did you-?!" Poco asks her, shocked, and suddenly notices the small burns on her arms where the rope was. "Holy moly! Are you okay?!"

"I was able to burn the rope a bit! Admittedly, it hurts a bit..." She runs around on her way to untie the others. "I'll untie you first, Mortis... Destroy the screen with your shovel!" Amber requests, as she works with the rope. "On it!" Mortis nods and runs over to start hitting it. The video stops playing. "The sound's still playing!" He exclaims, rubbing his forehead.

Mortis proceeds to help untie some of the brawlers. Namely targeting Carl first. (Real name: Karl Castillo) "If your room came with a pick axe, try and throw it at the speakers...!" He says. "Alright then..." He gets up from his seat with a pick axe, and aims his shot." He successfully hits it and the full brainwashing chance is gone. As this was happening the, two finish freeing everyone.

"Man, I think it was a bad idea for them to let us keep out weapons." Carl exclaims, wiping off some sweat. "Well, what's important is that we haven't been taken back!" Amber tries to cheer up the mood. "My, oh my. Those burns look terrible!" Piper examines her burns. (Real name: Phyllis Meadows) "I'll be fine. No need to worry!" She puts the lighter she has in her pocket.

"We need to get out of here and somehow shut this place down!" Edgar exclaims. "I think it'll be best to destroy their transmission signal, so that all of the employees can break free from the brainwashing." Everyone nods. "There was a jetpack in my room!" Janet shows it off in her back. "I didn't know those would actually work." Byron says. "I'll give it shot!" She replies with a grin.

"Let's first come up a with a plan!" Jacky (Real name: Judy Adkins) speaks up with a sly and mischievous grin. Everyone huddles together and tries to devise a plan. "You guys ready?!" Shelly asks the bunch, "Yes!" Everyone nods. Starting their scheme, Amber takes out her lighter along with a stick of Dynamite provided by Dynamike. (Real name: Micheal Bauer) She ignites it.

Laying it by the wall, everyone runs away from it, and covers their ears. It explodes, the hole shows the outside of the park. "Janet! Bonnie! It's your cue!" Amber yells out. Janet uses the hole and her jetpack to fly up to the building. Bonnie (Real name: Barbara Velaquez) follows trying her best to bring the canon with her. Janet tries to maneuver and land to the top.

"This must be the transmitter... It looks like a big antenna!" Janet gives Bonnie her signal by singing a loud and high note. A majority of the Park's guests don't notice it somehow. Bonnie, having received the signal, deploys a canonball into her canon and aims for the transmitter. Amber is there to light off the fuse, and FIRE! Janet flies away to avoid getting hit herself.

At this point, it is effectively destroyed. "Great shot, Bonnie!" Janet says, flying back down. "Now the next part!" Colt yells. A majority of the brawlers run out quickly. As soon as a good amount of the flock approaches the door that lets the exits the 'staff only area' Something was able to catch Penny's eye in the security room. She decides to approach it and to her avail, she saw it.

A button labeled 'push in case of emergency' She knew what she had to do. "Oh, this is going to make the process so much faster!" She pushes it without thinking twice. An alarm across the whole park is set off. "Yeah, that's right!" She quickly rushes out of the room and joins the others. "Guys! I just set off the alarm!" She exclaims. "Nice one there!" Darryl congratulates her.

"It'll help us a good amount!" Everyone in the park is confused by the alarm, though the confusion quickly turns to panic as the brawlers run around the place. "You guys, get out of here!" Ash yells as loud as possible. The guests starts running out of the park, "They should be grateful for what we're doing..." "Make sure no guest is in the building!" Max commands.

A team consisting of Shelly, Colt, Mortis, Poco, and Colette run to find the main man running the entire scheme. "We need to defeat the guy...!" Colt says, running to find where he could possibly be. "Anything you found in your rooms?" Mortis asks. "I have my shovel, Poco has the guitar..." "Nothing was in me or Colt's room." Shelly says. "All I found was this book" Colette joins in.

"We'll just need to work with what resources we have!" Poco says. The 5 brawlers suddenly stop running. "I think that's him!" Shelly points at an unknown room. They soon enter it, and find a giant robot, resembling the ones they fight in the Boss Fight game mode. "We need to fight that?!" Colette screams. "We're not even in the game! We're just normal beings!" Colt says.

"We'll need to try our best!" Shelly reassures the group. The robot starts moving, for them to discover that the man from before is the one controlling it. "Time to fight, guys!" Mortis exclaims.
