All Star Club Dungeon 1

Derek stands up after being knocked out for a good five minutes, only to realize he's in a dark place. "Paul? Can you hear me? Yell if you can!" He said. The sound of footsteps gets Derek's attention. Thinking it might be Paul, his face lights up, but it becomes an angry expression when he sees Zora approaching.

"Hello again, King Derek. I hope you can forgive the lack of cleanliness in this room." Said Zora. "I'm not interested in how clean or dirty the room is, Zora! What I want is answers!" Yelled Derek. "Ooh, somebody's got anger issues." Zora said. "When you and Sybil offered to let me and Paul stay, was it all a lie?" Derek asked. Zora sighs. "Yes and no. Let's say we insisted on letting you two stay so we can finish what we started. But honestly, after the two of you appeared out of nowhere, we've got something even better in mind." She said. 

"Are you gonna kill me?" Asked Derek in an annoyed tone. "Nah. Us making a life together is more promising." Said Zora. "How do you expect me to believe that? Can the living marry the dead?" Derek asked. "No, but me and Sybil might be able to change that." Zora said with a smirk. "Excuse me?" Asked Derek with his arms crossed. 

Zora approaches the king then starts twirling his hair. "Your hair looks real to me. I've never met a guy with such lovely locks. But I have to know, are you completely bald?" She asked flirtatiously. Derek slaps her non-bony hand away. "Hands off! You're the second person to ask me that!" He yelled. "Huh?" Asked Zora. "The innkeeper of the Harbour Village Inn, Mrs Gunderman, thought I was wearing a wig!" Derek said in an annoyed tone. "Well, are you?" Zora asked with a smirk.

Derek groans. "Absolutely not!!! Here, I'll prove it!" He said. The king tugs on a strand of his hair, and it doesn't come off. "All natural... makes me like you all the more." Said Zora. "Are you finished yet?" Asked Derek. "Nope, I've got one more thing." Zora said.

Much to Derek's annoyance, Zora sings about how she thinks she's the perfect girl for him, though she's unaware he's already married. Derek resists each and every move the first corpse makes, but she still tries making a move on him.

Zora: You've been dreaming, just one dream
Nearly all your life
Hoping, scheming, just one theme:
Will you have a wife?
Will you be some lady's property?
Good news!
That lady's me!

This equation, girl plus man
Doesn't help just you
On occasion, all men can
Have their uses too
Mainly to extend the family tree
Pumpkin, extend with me!

We'll be raising kids with glee

Derek: Inconceivable!

Zora: Each built five foot three!

Derek: Unbelievable!

Zora: Each stuffed with every Zora gene!

Derek: I'm not hearing this!

Zora: You'll be keeping house with pride!

Derek: Just incredible!

Zora: Oh so gratified

Derek: So unweddable!

Zora: That you are a part of this idyllic scene

Picture this: Our very own lab, my little sister bonding with her brother in-law, my dear husband massaging my feet, while the little ones play on the floor with the dogs. We'll have six or seven!

Derek: Dogs?

Zora: No, Derek!
Pretty girls... like me!

Derek: (eyeroll) Oh boy

Zora: I can see that we will share
All that love implies
We shall be a perfect pair
Rather like my thighs
You are face to face with destiny!

All roads lead to...
The best things in life are...
All's well that ends with me!

Escape me?
There's no way
Certain as "Do, Re,"
And when you marry....

So Derek, what will it be?
Is it "yes", or is it "oh, yes"?

Derek: My answer's no! I don't deserve you!

Zora: Who does?

Me!

Derek: Since I'm already married!

A gasp escapes from Zora's mouth. "You mean to tell me that you... ALREADY FOUND SOMEONE?!?!?!" She asked as she pulls on her hair. "That's right. So if you don't mind, kindly release me from this underground dungeon so I can get back to my wife and sister in-law." Derek said. "Let me think... NO!!!" Said Zora. "By order of the king!" Said Derek. "You may be king, but you're not my king! To the dissection lab with you!!" Zora said angrily. She grabs Derek's arm and drags him out of the dungeon to face the worst consequence of all.
