You Did It All

In Sweetheart's castle, the group comprised of four members; Hero, Omori, Aubrey, and Kel - separates after a battle mishap around the halls. The checkered-shirt mischief sprints away from the small but numerous guards chasing after him as he turns one corner to find himself at a dead end.

The army then goes to the same direction where the hyperactive intruder was last seen and although they are aware that there is nowhere else to go, they could not spot the youngster at first glance... or even around the area. The small critters even open secret passageways around the vicinity and towards the dungeons to assess whether he has taken an alternative route.

Even so, they cover as much ground with their overwhelming numbers and the soldiers are still not successful in their pursuit. As soon as they decide that the male intruder is hiding in the shadows elsewhere, the purple-haired troublemaker pops out of the normal-sized squire armor and lets out a big sigh of relief as he couldn't breathe comfortably for a minute longer.

" That's going to gimme a cramp in the morning, " Kel stretches his entire body, " but they're gonna find me again at some point... and I have no clue where to go! "

Despite the boy previously contained in a suit of armor, he does recall that the footsteps of the foot soldiers (literally) disappeared... and the purple-haired lad can confirm with absolute certainty that the army did not leave from the left side initially. After a few attempts of force put into peculiar-looking tiles, a pathway suddenly opens before him.

Kel - for the first time - starts to weigh his options carefully. He could try to locate his friends once more, but there's a good chance that he could be apprehended by the countless guards at Sweetheart's disposal. On the other hand, wandering about into unknown territory without the group's collective guidance in order to ask for outside help may serve to be an unwise decision that could hurt both his and the gang's chances at escaping.

Though he cannot shake the feeling that his friends may very well be in danger at this moment into, Kel realizes that he cannot stay where is he any longer before anyone who resides at the castle spots him. The bright young man smacks his face with both of his hands to snap out of his trance before he ventures into tee secret corridor, to which it leads to a noticeably desolate location.

Unbeknownst to the optimistic lad, he walks along the path that leads him in a circle. The boy soon becomes aware that he is in a maze and that he cannot even return the starting point, only to find himself a bunch of human-sized spikes blocking his path. Although this may discourage most, Kel doesn't let it get to him and instead cheers that it could be a sign that across that trap is the end of the maze itself.

The problem, however, lies in the fact that he could get himself lost once again and may never return to the trap.

At his right, a skeleton with clothes and different types of fabric lay there for who knows how long. At at moment, the hyperactive kid gets a lightbulb on his head as he rips the fabric and keep the pieces all for himself, so that the young lad can leave each of them to form a path until he runs out of them. While the plan itself may not be objectively failproof, the method can give himself leeway incase of any upcoming issue.

Once all the pieces of fabric are laid onto the ground, Kel keeps marching elsewhere until he finds himself a lever at the outermost area of the maze. The restless boy then flexes his muscles and screams his war cry that was originated by his planetary friend, Pluto; "When I flex, I FEEL MY BEST! " before he grabs the lever with an iron grip and puts all of his arm's weight pulling downwards.

With every ounce of strength within him, he manages to bring the lever to its lowest before a click sound comes up. Hope rejuvenates the lad as he rushes back to the maze and immediately spots the trail he left to find that the spike trap has been deactivated soon after. Kel moves forward to witness a violet-cloaked figure sitting onto a crimson-stained picnic mat with a picnic basket on hand.
