At the Flaming Foundry, the Bull Clones continue to dig up the tomb. The Bull clones noticed a blue spirit as they hear a strange whisper. Suddenly a explosion occurs, causing the Bull Clones to be blown back, Princess Iron Fan sighed as she walks up to the tomb.

Demon Bull King yelled, "Another infernal obstacle keeping Mr from my destiny!" Princess Iron Fan turns her head to him, "Patience, my love." Demon Bull King sighs, "I've been patient long enough. I need that power!"

Princess Iron Fan shakes her head, "The power that crafted this tomb is beyond my skill. Without an artifact of equal strength, there is nothing we can do. We're locked out." Red Son yelled, "Not for long! All we need is a key and look what I found."

Meanwhile at Pigsy's Noodles. Mei, Tang, Pigsy, MK, and Y/n watch as the Mayor speaks from a small podium.

"Thank you for this amazing turnout." Mei cheered, "Woo-hoo! Let's hear it for Monkie Kid! Hero of the city!" Y/n narrows her eyes at the Mayor but says nothing, 'I don't like his cheerfulness...' the Mayor says, "As mayor, I hereby give Monkie Kid the key to our fair city."

Mayor takes out a key and hands it to MK. Y/n frowns as MK asked, "Um, uh, what does this key do, exactly?" Mayor grins, "Oh, you'll love this. It has the power to open anything!" 'Why would... the Mayor give such an important a key?' Thought y/n. However Mei asked with a cheer, "Ooh, anything? Like a pet shop full of puppies?"

Mayor nods, "Yes. Or the door to a lion's cage, or an orphans piggy bank, an imprisoned mystic power source. Whatever you like! Today, you can do no wrong. You've got my permission. 'Cause I'm the mayor!" Y/n narrows her eyes as she crossed her arms.

Then Mayor went over to her as he placed a hand on her shoulder as he whispered something strange, 'I do miss your cheerfulness, dear.' Then the Mayor leaves as Y/n became even more confused, 'The heck.' Mei comments, "I'm starting to think, that's maybe not the mayor." However MK holds the key in awe, "Wow. A key that can open anything."

- Forest (What name shall I call the forest?) -

Y/n decides to just hang out with Bae He, Slimes, and Luna who's leg has gotten better luckily.

Meanwhile at the Flaming Foundry, the Demon Bull King opens the tomb with the Skeleton Key. The tomb opens, Red Son peeks inside. However he just sees bones inside, "Bones? It's just bones?" Then a blue spirit snakes up his leg as Red Son panics as he shakes it off. After shaking it off both him and Princess Iron Fan see pieces of the Tom floating as the Demon Bull King maniacal laughs as the blue spirit goes inside his armor and the Bull clones.

The spirit takes control of them as the whisper says, "Freedom..."

Y/n widen her eyes a bit as she somehow hears it, 'What the...' Bae He asked, "Mom, are you okay? You seem to be freaking out..." Y/n shakes her head as she looks to see Bae He, Luna, and the Elemental slimes looking to her. Y/n smiles sweetly, "No, it's fine. I must've heard something."
