After Star Struck entered the Portal, the battle continues. Alchemy, Crow and Bloodhounder continues to fight, taking down another Plague Giant. "We need to hurry!" Alchemy says before equipping a bazooka, firing 1000 watts of electricity, destroying the final Plague Giant.

As the Plague Giant explodes, Dark Plague reveals themselves with Void Walker and Arachnoid. "It's sad that Star Struck couldn't see you die," Dark Plague says as they point the Staff of Death towards Alchemy, Crow and Bloodhounder. The eyes of the skull glow but before it could incinerate the three, a playing card flies through the air. It lands in between the two factions before exploding into a cloud of smoke.

"Come on, we've got to go!" a Voice says before they all escape from the battle. They arrive back at Alchemy Labs, meeting the person who saved them. "Who are you?" Choco says taking off their helmet, "I'm no one, I'll be taking my leave now." The Masked Man said before throwing a card onto the ground, disappearing.

The Man appears on top of a building before sitting on the ledge, with a desk of cards out, shuffling and playing with the deck of cards.

A hooded woman lands behind him, "CC, nice job saving the heroes but where is Star Struck?" She asks, "I don't know, I only saw Crow, The Cop and the Future Boy. Crystal Girl was gone when I got them out of there." CC replied. 

"That's weird, I'll keep an eye out for her, stay out of sight. They are the only hope to saving the city."

After the Woman leaves, CC stands up and turns around but sees Void Walker lurking. "What do you want, Void Walker?" CC says, Void Walker replies. "My boss wants to meet you, so come quietly," "Not happening," CC says before throwing a card at Void Walker, and while in midair, the Card slowly turns pink and it explodes as it reaches Void Walker.

As the dust settles, CC is gone and Void Walker is standing on the roof alone as they see CC grapple away. "Playing cards... Weird," Void Walker says before disappearing.

CC lands on the roof of the New Vine Casino before entering through the roof access, they go into a toilet stall and start to change their clothes, as they step out of the stall, CC has dirty blonde hair and is wearing a Casino Clerk outfit.

"There you are Felix, come on, we are packed out there!"
