You guys had finally collected all 7 Crystal Stars, and now-

(Y/N): Where could Peach have been taken?

Ruby: Probably to the Thousand Year Door?

(Y/N): Supposedly. But we can't know for sure unless- Hmm ... maybe there's a computer around here that could tell us.

Soon...

Everyone entered the room where TEC was.

(Y/N): Hey, it looks like this thing is down. How can we fix it?

Yang: Hang on.

Yang slammed her fists onto it and then the computer started back up again!

TEC: You ... are (Y/N) ... correct?

(Y/N): Yes. You are?

TEC: It...is pleasant to meet you... I...am the main computer of this fortress... I am TEC. I must tell you something... That is why...I brought you to this place... Princess P...Peach... ...................

(Y/N): YOU KNOW WHERE PEACH IS?!

TEC begins to glitch up!

Yang: I think I should-

Blake: Do you want to break him before he tells us anything?

Yang: (Sigh) Fair point.

TEC: I...am so s...sorry. Most of my data was er...erased...and my main power unit was shut...down. Now running on backup power with...only cached memory...trying to stay...operational. You know that Peach is not here, do you not?

(Y/N): We do.

Pyra: Where is she?

TEC: Please save...Peach... Please...please... Princess Peach...is...with Grodus in the...Palace of Shadow... I had to...tell you that...

He begins to glitch up again, and then turns off!

Yang: AGH!

Yang hit him, and he turned back on.

Weiss: Okay, enough!

TEC: But...backup...power...failing... (Y/N)... Use...the teleporter room...to get back to...Rogueport. Teleporter room is...on....sublevel...2...of the fortress...I will release...the room lock.

(Y/N): So, the Palace of Shadow, that's where Peach is being held.

TEC: Please hurry... There is barely enough...power left...to activate the teleporter... ............................................. I will...cease all AI functions...to send power to...the teleporter...for you.

(Y/N): But what about you?

TEC: When the power is all gone...I will... Cease to exist...as an artificial consciousness. But...if it will...save Peach...I would...gladly do this. Because until I met Peach...I knew nothing of...love...

(Y/N): But ... you were helping Peach ... all this time.

TEC: Do not worry...about me... I am just a computer... Just...a...machine... (Y/N)... You must save Peach... I ask you... Please... And tell her... thank you ... for me.

(Y/N): We will TEC.

TEC: So... Hurry to the teleporter...room...now... (Y/N)... Save...her...

And with that, TEC completely deactivates!

(Y/N): COME ON, GUYS! WE HAVE TO SAVE PEACH! Not just for us, but for TEC too!

Mythra: That computer, he ... he felt love?

Ruby: It's sweet. He felt em-

An explosion occurred!

(Y/N): COME ON! WE HAVE TO GO!

Soon...

You all reached the Teleporter Room.

Goombella: How do we make this thing work?

Nia: I think we need to use those buttons.

You guys touch the buttons and get it working!

Then-

You all teleported out!

TEC: Peach... Good-bye...

The entire X-Naut Fortress explodes, taking the X-Nauts and TEC along with it.

Soon...

You guys had arrived in the Sewers of Rogueport.

Pyra: The X-Nauts must have been using this to get to Rogueport.

???: Hello, everyone!

Professor Frankly was nearby!

(Y/N): Professor!

Professor Frankly: I assume you all got the last Crystal Star.

(Y/N): Yeah, and now the leader is holding Peach hostage, behind the Thousand Year Door!

Professor Frankly: Ah-HAAAAAAAAAAH! Just a bit ago, I smelled some rank air and went to the Thousand-Year Door... I saw a suspicious fellow in a cape go through the door...with Princess Peach!!!

Nia: Wait, that doesn't add up.

Weiss: Yeah, shouldn't the door open because of the Crystal Stars?

Professor Frankly: Believe me, I know, but I'm quite certain of it! I saw it with my own eyes! I have a very bad feeling about this! VERY bad! Princess Peach is in danger! Time is short! We must go to the Thousand-Year Door and rescue the princess! I'll run ahead and meet you there! Don't dawdle! You must come immediately!

Soon...

You all followed the Professor back to the Thousand Year Door, and then you stood on the pedestal.

(Y/N): Here goes.

You bring all of the Crystal Stars, which begin to appear around you, and then the door begins to glow, and glow, and-

It slowly opens.

Professor Frankly: At long last, the entrance to the Palace of Shadow has been opened! Before Princess Peach falls victim to that fiend... Before he takes over the world... You must rescue the princess and stop this cataclysm!

(Y/N): Okay! In we go!

All of you step inside the Thousand Year Door as it begins to close behind you.
