They entered the room with the shaking, helpless creature as the Gang awoke and stared in shock. "Oh, so all the screaming from before didn't wake you up, but the door does?", Captain sarcastically remarked. Cassandra growled in protest. "She says she's sorry that she sleeps like a co-corpse", Salad Fingers translated. "Thanks, Spoons", Captain responded. "N-No pro-- ay, don't call me spoons!", He snapped. "Spoons", He teased again. "StaAAHHPP!", Salad Fingers playfully whined as he pounced on him, the two cackling and playfully trying to shove one off of the other. They got up and started butting heads while laughing. Suddenly, a light, whispery laugh became audible from behind them. They suddenly turned and stared in shock. Conscience was absolutely rolling in laughter, hardly able to breathe while Blockhead chuckled and watched. "Y-You two are idiots!! Haha--HEHEHE-- I can't breathe! SHIT! I'M- YOU DUMBASSES!! HAHHAHAA---", Conscience cut off in wheezing hysterics as the two watched and chuckled, Captain elbowing Salad and pointing. The rest of the Gang stared. "Woah... What happened to him!?", Alien Hominid asked. "He was turned into a doll and cursed with child-like traits... wait, you can see again?", Pico asked. "Vibrations. I don't know why echolocation stopped working, but it did... this method's lower quality, but it works", Alien replied. Salad Fingers chuckled, impressed. "Huh! Like a-a Proteus; the blind cave salamander! That's awesome", he chided. "Uh, English please?", Alien ordered. "UHM!? THIS IS E-ENGLISH, YOU EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL JA-JACKASS!", Salad Fingers laughed. Conscience howled once again, listening to the bickering. "You guys are confusing", ENA stated while chuckling.

"OH, WE-WE'RE CONFUSING!? YOUR ENTIRE THING IS CHAOS AND CONFUSION. MY DARLING. M-MY DEAR. MY BROTHER AND SISTER I-IN OUR GREAT PROVIDER AND THE BEAST H-HIMSELF, WE ARE NO-NOT THAT CONFUSING. BRO. I'M LEGITIMATELY ABOUT TO LOSE M-MY SHIT", Salad Fingers cackled and stated. "Ey, I thought she was yo girlfriend, why you wildin'?", Alien asked in bewilderment. "I DON'T GIVE A FUCK RIGHT NOW, I-IT'S A FREE-FOR-ALL UP IN THIS HOE!", he responded, still laughing. Pico busted into laughter, along with Captain. "A-ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?!? FUCK!! Y-Y'ALL GOT ME SWEARING NOW, YA-Y'ALL HAVE RUINED ME. RUINED! ME!", He continued to cackle and almost cried in laughter. Cassandra threw a piece of metal at his head. "WH-WHO JUST ASSAULTED ME WITH A M-METAL OBJECT!?", he loudly asked. Cassandra growled back. "I'M GAY!? THE-THERE'S NO WAY YOU'RE H-HETERO, YOU GOT ME FUUUCKED UP", he accused in hysterics. ENA's laughter slowed to a stop as they heard something. 

"EVERYONE, HALT!! I've picked up an audiological abnormality...", they alerted. Everyone stopped at that moment, and the sudden yell jolted Conscience. "What happened? Is everything okay?", he asked. "I'm not sure... I heard something strange outside the door", they stated.

"Shit... they found us... we were doing too much..", Alien said as his blood went cold.

"Too m-much? It was the fucking most... we may have ju-just gotten ourselves killed..! Oh, I'm so sorry..! It was ne-never meant to end in th-this manner..!", Salad Fingers began to cry. "Slow down, bud, we're not gonna die... ENA, burn a hole in that wall. It's the thinnest and quickest, and it'll make the least noise. When you're done, solder it back", Pico quickly planned. ENA nodded and waved everyone back from the back wall. They cracked their knuckles and neck and charged up a blue-yellow flame from inside their jaws. They released a steady beam of raging fire that hissed and crackled for half-a-minute, and they created a large hole in the wall while the two characters they held watched, one in awe, the other in fear. 

The Gang silently walked through while ENA held the piece up, and then soldered the steel mass back into the wall. 

Just then, the door was kicked open. "WHO'S THERE!? I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR.... me... ugh.. I must be hearing things again... this place is making me lose my mind...", a gruff voice with a French accent snarled from the other side. Blockhead covered his mouth as soon as he heard the harsh voice and started shaking. A whimper sounded as Conscience grabbed onto him, clearly startled. "What are you doing?", Blockhead worriedly asked. He'd never seen him this terrified before... "I-I don't know... there's something wrong with me! I can't calm down...!", he responded. His eyes darted in every direction as footsteps departed. The Gang released a sigh of relief, sharing a feeling of escape and getting out of a close call. "That wa-was horrible... who th-the dickens was that?!", Salad Fingers asked. Blockhead recognized the accent and voice and his eyes widened in terror. "Oh, hell no...", he whispered. "What? What is it!? I don't like that look, kid, tell me what happened!", Conscience quickly ordered. "ANSWER ME, PLEASE!", He yelped. "The scientist! That guy nearly destroyed time!! I had to break his weird machine thing-y with my tongs! HE CAME AT ME WITH A KNIFE!", Blockhead panickedly cried. Conscience remembered the story... he'd gone through his memories one night and watched it happen. He froze as he realized that the voice they'd heard was the exact same as he'd heard in his memories. ENA placed the two down and they instantly hid behind them. "He's after us!! He's after us! W-We gotta do something!!" Conscience yelped in pure, unbridled fear. Pico went behind him and suddenly picked him up, scaring him and triggering a cry. "It's okay, man, we're here! We won't let the villains get close...", Pico stated. Conscience nodded and his breathing slowed. Blockhead walked over and held onto Pico's leg, still shaking. The Gang exited out of a side door after Pico put Conscience back down. They silently scouted for another empty room.
