Camon stood startled, not knowing what to say or do. "I have faith that you can do it. Finish reading that book about dexterity. I'll give you what you need tomorrow," Dr. Raven finished, walking towards the vine hand. Camon stood staring at him, but knew that everything he said was possible. Camon took the pile of books out from behind the couch and walked through the furniture. He was looking for the perfect couch to lay on. He found a purple couch with familiar looking wooden feet on them. He payed on the couch, stretching out his body. He opened to the first page of the book and began skimming the pictures. He studied how to make his legs, hands, and even head do amazing things. Every time he found a cool move, he'd stand up and practice it a few times. It had been hours before he finished. He decided he would save the other books for different nights. He laid back on the couch and closed his eyes. He thought about all he would have to do tomorrow. He thought about how hard it was going to be to defeat Megaboy. But somewhere in him just told him to do it, to persevere and conquer Megaboy. Camon thought about being iconic for saving Overworld. All this was to come tomorrow. With all his thoughts finally dying out, he dozed off silently. The lights in the laboratory went out, which meant Dr. Raven had gone to bed as well. The whole ship lay in darkness, hordes of Mangles freely roaming the city of Zion, spilling into the abyss below.

(Dream) Skeleton servant: Who knows how long we're going to be in this uncomfortable bunker. I miss waiting tables and sleeping in an actual bed!                                                                                                           Stone Golem: You mean waiting Mangles and sleeping in an infested hotel?                                                       Skeleton Servant: You have a point. I guess I should be grateful Dr. Raven even built a bunker in the abyss.                                                                                                                                                                                                      Stone Golem: I just hope we can get out of this ship one day.                                                                                      (Fade Out)

(Fade In) Savant walks over to his bed and sits. He looks at the stars through the moon-roof above his bed and stares, waiting until tomorrow. "I hope my son is alright. I wouldn't want him to see what's going to happen to Overworld. If only Archer wouldn't have failed me.", he says to himself.                         (Fade Out)

(Fade In) A large robot with a familiar mustache and purple overalls walks down a busy street, wrecking everything in its sight with its retractable striped arms. (Chapter 15 media)                                     (Fade Out)

(Fade In)(Someone yelling in a sing-song tone) He'll chop off your head with evil st....                                     (Fade Out)

(Fade In) CRASH! (Camon's strange drawing pops in).                                                                                                     (Fade Out) 

(Wake) Camon sits up off the couch and smells the delightful aroma of a meal. He stands up and walks towards the balcony, looking into the long passage of laboratories. Steam is pouring out of one of the labs, so Camon assumed he needed to go there. He turned around to grab his books and noticed a change of clothes. They were the same ones he was currently wearing, except there was a strange purple bandanna in the pile as well. He changed into the outfit and put the bandanna in his pocket. The vine hand came to pick him up and carried him down to the steaming laboratory. A sign outside was labeled, "Kitchen". He walked in on Dr. Raven, singing a strange tune and pretending his spoon was a microphone. Camon coughed abruptly and Dr. Raven saw him. His face turned as pink as the strange meat he was cooking. "Ahem... well... uh... so... um... yeah. You saw nothing... I hope you're ready for the big day today. I cooked you breakfast!", Dr. Raven said. Camon walked over and sat at the table, ready for anything Dr. Raven had planned for him.
