Shuriken and Vinestaff were doing their own work. Vinestaff gets a notification from her SMS app, and she reads it. It was from Medkit, and he was asking her to get to his office for something. Shuriken asks if she needs to go somewhere, and she confirms. Shuriken seems to be alright with it until notifications come from Rainbox, Astrobox, Eggbox and Coolbox. "What?! What the hell? 'YOURE THE REASON WHY THE WORLD IS A MESS AND YOU MADE HIM CRY' What?!" Shuriken says in shock. Vinestaff says "What happened?" and Shuriken replies "Oh well.. uuuhh..I think I upset Boombox." "What?! That isn't very nice of you! I might have to tell that to Katana but first I have to get to Medkit because he's asking me to help him with something!" Vinestaff said. Shuriken asks if he can come over and Vinestaff checks with Medkit to know if he allowed extra guests, which he did, so the two start going to Medkit's office.

Meanwhile, Medkit, Sword and Rocket are sitting in the office waiting for Vinestaff. "Soo.. uuuhh.. What is the problem anyways?" Rocket asked. Medkit replied: "I'll tell when Vinestaff comes." Then the two siblings shortly arrived. "Hey there fellows! What's going on on this splendid afternoon?" Shuriken greeted the others. "Shuriken, this is a serious issue. It's about Boombox." Shuriken gulped out of fear and just told Medkit to explain. Medkit explained how he was told from him that Boombox had a black gooey matter that he was throwing up that by definition sounded extremely similar to Stress Goop and how he might have screwed up Boombox by telling him something he didn't like. Sword asked: "What did you say and how did he look afterwards", and Rocket said "Oh I'm pretty sure I had Stress Goop once when I was younger." Medkit just said "I told him that the music wasn't the best he could have done." Shuriken gasps "OH SHI-" before being interrupted by Vinestaff: "Hold on! He told me earlier that his art was terrible! Could this be connected to his stress?" Medkit also clarified that his visor went grayscale after he said it. Rocket said "OH SHOOT! I THINK YOU JUST WORSENED HIS STRESS GOOP!" Medkit was embarrassed for doing that but then Shuriken said: "Look.. I'm sorry for doing this but like.. I'm partially the reason why Boombox went insane like that.. I told him that his music was terribly terrifying only due to peer pressure from my boyfriend.. sorry-" then Sword just told him: "Shuriken, whoever zat boyfriend is, he's pretty damn toxic. Don't listen to him." "But.. he'd beat me up if I chose to break up with him-" Shuriken replied before being interrupted by Sword again: "I can try to stay beside you if you need it. I'll tell him who's zee real boss." The five later decide on a plan and so Vinestaff, Shuriken, Rocket and Sword go home. Medkit writes on a notepad:
"- stick together
- if you see him, say "Pepperoni"

- try to calm him down no matter what
- if he killed some people on the way, do Divine Resurrection

- if needed, blast him with rockets".
