Time: 2032
Years after their chaotic escape, Jacob couldn't shake the guilt of leaving Ryan Cadi in his sped state. His friend Gabe kept telling him, "Let it go, man. He's gone forever." But deep down, Jacob knew there was a cure. He just had to find it.
Determined to save Cadi, Jacob delved into researching sped kids, hoping to reverse the strange condition that had consumed his former friend. He tried everything, but failed each time. Frustrated but undeterred, he turned to an old friend, Ryan Wue, who had been studying to become a doctor. If anyone could find a solution, it would be him.
Ryan Wue, ever the logical and sharp thinker, agreed to help. "If there's a cure, we'll find it," Ryan reassured. After months of experimentation, breakthroughs, and countless sleepless nights, they finally made a discovery.
"We've done it! We've found the cure!" Jacob exclaimed, overjoyed.
Ryan Wue, adjusting his glasses, replied, "Now, let's go find Cadi and fix this once and for all."
The two journeyed to Cadi's old lair, now a rusty, abandoned shell of its former self. The walls crumbled, and eerie shadows danced in the corners. As they explored the desolate space, a faint, familiar sped noise echoed through the distance.
"It's Cadi!" Jacob shouted, his heart pounding.
They rushed toward the sound, ready to administer the cure. For a brief, glorious moment, it worked. Cadi blinked and gasped, "You saved me!" Hope filled Jacob's heart, but it was short-lived. Cadi's eyes clouded over once more, and he reverted back, more sped than ever before.
Before Jacob and Ryan Wue could react, Cadi lunged at them, his flailing arms and sped noises more erratic than ever. They barely managed to dive into the dark halls of the run-down lair.
They ran through the maze-like structure, the sound of Cadi's screams echoing off the walls: "THE DEMONS! THE DEMONS!" His voice cracked and distorted as his mental state deteriorated further. They were cornered—there seemed to be no way out.
Just as Cadi was about to close in, Gabe Ulloa arrived, armed with his Fanta in one hand and the iconic Camellia Mk III weapon from No More Heroes 2 in the other. His presence radiated confidence as he stared down the crazed Cadi.
"Looks like I'm the no more hero now," Gabe said, his voice calm but firm. He then pulled out Travis Touchdown's jacket from his bag and slid it on with ease.
Cadi, sensing the new challenge, let out an unhinged screech, flailing more wildly than ever. The lair shook as the intensity between them built. Gabe crushed his Fanta can in his hand, letting it fall to the ground. "It's kill or be killed," he declared as the song of the same name from No More Heroes 2 began to play in the background.
The final showdown was about to begin. Gabe, Jacob, and Ryan Wue stood side by side, facing the transformed Cadi, ready for whatever chaos lay ahead.
