The next day, Lightbulb told everyone at the hotel what happened at the meeting. From meeting Four & X, to them not believing in her idea, to the extermination deadline being in 6 weeks instead of a year. She walked back & forth as she explained it to both Test Tube & Paintbrush, slowly losing her mind.
"Okay. So the extermination is coming in 6 weeks instead of a year. No big deal. Just a little setback. Nothing we can't handle. Just them cutting our timetable, but who needs a whole year to save lives? Am I right? & next time, when they cut the time again, & again, we'll just handle it, right!?" She freaked out.
"Yes, we will." Test Tube stopped her to calm her down.
N/A flew next to her.
"We will." They copied.
Paintbrush was on their phone the whole time, listening to half the things Lightbulb said.
"Oh, please, ya had less than half a chance when you started all this salvation bullshit. & now..." They stopped.
They were getting a pile of messages from Silver Spoon. Half of them they couldn't read.
"... Ain't no silver lining this time, toots." They finished.
"Sure there is. We just have to look a little harder for it." Lightbulb disagreed.
"Well, while you're lookin', the rest of the island is doing nothing, since they know shit about the news. If we tell them, they'll be freaking out. Look at this town. It's already hell over there. We tell them, there'll be nothing left." Paintbrush explained, showing a picture to Lightbulb. A message from Silver Spoon popped up.
"Uhhh... What does 'jdnudjiuffnk' mean?" Lightbulb asked.
Paintbrush looked & saw the message, hiding the embarrassment.
"Ah, nothing! My boss, Silver, is just freaked out about the news after I told him." They lied. "Like I said, everyone is going to lose their shit."
"Yeah, that's true. They'll be desperate." Test Tube thought.
She thought about it more & came up with the perfect idea.
"Maybe desperate enough to try anything to escape the extermination?" She explained, looking at Lightbulb.
Lightbulb thought about it, & immediately smiled.
"This is the perfect time to recruit more contestants for the hotel!" She exclaimed with excitement.
"Cute idea & all, but you really think this is going to be a good idea?" Paintbrush asked.
"Well, it's not like people are just going to show up on our doorstep." Lightbulb explained.
They heard an explosion outside the hotel, which destroyed the wall. The three went outside to see what it was & it was an airship, run by none other than Taco!
"Show yourself, cowards! Come & face the wrath of Taco!" She called from her ship.
Fan came outside to see what all the ruckus was & saw the airship.
"Who are you?" He asked, drinking from his mug.
"Who am I? Who am I!? I'm the great Taco! Inventor, architect of destruction, villain extraordinaire!"
Her phones praised her after she finished.
"You tell 'em, boss!" One of them praised.
The four stood, not really threatened anymore. Bow & Bot walked outside to see what was going on.
"Is this the bad girl?" Bow asked Fan.
"Bad as in threatening, no. But bad at being threatening, yes." He answered.
The others laughed, which Taco didn't think any of this was funny.
"Stop laughing, dimwits!" She yelled at them.
"Besides, if all of that was true, I would've known you." Fan told her.
"... I literally attacked you last week."
Fan tilted his head, not remembering.
"& I attacked you & the other overlords last month!" She reminded him.
"Well, if you did, which I don't think you did, you must be really bad at this." Fan told her.
The others laughed as Taco got even more pissed.
"Silence! Now cower for when I slay you all, motherfuckers!" Taco laughed.
The others watched as she lost her mind in her ship.
"She's crazy." Bot whispered to Fan.
"I know." He whispered back.
