'Captain! He's okay!' Luna smiled at the thought that one of her friends was okay. 'Now I need to know where Heli is and Cube!'
Blixer was back at his tower, filling the pride as he has corrupted another piece of Paradise, those 4 wouldn't be able to touch the molten pink liquid now, but at the same time, they'll probably find a way to. Blixer needed to create a new shape, after all, he has the power of life from the Treeangle. "Luna, sorry to leave at such notice but I'll leave you with some cacti to talk to. Don't worry they won't hurt you as you have the crown. They see the crown, they know not to harm you." He places Luna down and calls for two cacti. The pink cacti come in and listen to their king's orders. "You two, keep her safe and try to do something together. I'll be back as soon as possible, alright?" They bowed and started to take Luna a balcony. Blixer waited for her to be out of sight before heading to his throne. He wondered what would be useful for taking care of those shapes. He thought well and hard until an idea hit. "They want the triangle, isn't that right? Well, why don't I give it to them?" He shaked the his crown piece to get a couple of triangles out of the tree piece. He smiled as he worked his magic. He summoned a new guitar, a jagged pink and black guitar. He thought of a simple melody and started to strum the strings of his bass. The melody was so hypnotic, like a snake losing its mind to the sound of a flute. The triangles jumped to the beat of the rhythm, forming into a pyramid-like structure. The triangle stacked and stacked they did as the melody was reaching its end. A strong strum of Blixer's guitar and BOOM! A giant triangle, the same size as Blixer, appeared. He opened his only eye up and looked at the one who brought him life. "Who has brought me to this realm?" The triangle asked. "I did. Your purpose is to serve me, I want you to go that volcano cavern over there." He pointed behind the triangle at the smoking cavern. "There are 4 shapes trying to retrieve a piece of a powerful source and I want you to exterminate them, erased them, turn them into pieces." Blixer said with a voice of great force and anger. The triangle bowed to him. "I'll gladly do, your majesty! For I, Barracuda, will have these shapes crushed, like mice between the coils of a snake." He said in his cold expression. Blixer smirked. "Now go!" Barracuda nodded and made his way to the cavern. Blixer watched as the triangle entered the cavern, he proceeded to head back inside the tower to check what his queen is doing. He heard the faint singing mixed the show soft melody of the flute and the pitch of the voila brought the beauty of the melody. He followed the sound to the balcony where Luna was singing a melody while the two corrupted cacti played the flute and voila to add more harmony to her voice. The melody she was singing, it sounds like what you'll hear as the emerging of a moth in the night.
He listened to the trio play their music, the calm melody made him relax as he was tensed from the fear of the 4 shapes made his mind worry but Luna's simple singing calm him down. Just like when he was in that cave, she'll sing melodies to him and he'll feel safe and calm.
Cyan, Yellow, Orange, and Green went through the dark cavern. They couldn't see, it was so dark. They felt something odd about the atmosphere. They felt like something was passing them slowly. Stalking them. It was all of a sudden-BOOM! A batch of pink bullets shot out everywhere, they quickly dodged it. They squeaked as a snake-like shape lunged towards them, a couple more followed. They dashed out of the way. Who's doing this?
"Look at you pathetic shapes. You cowardly run from your enemies then simply facing them?" The pink triangle appeared. They yelled at him to knock it out, they sounded like mice to him. "Such weak and vulnerable prey, trapped like rats. Soon to be devoured by the snake that is me."
The shapes didn't give up as they look at the triangle with a cold look. "Will to fight now? Perfect! Prepare for the Noisestorm that is I, Barracuda!"
He launched his attack, pink orbs and his snakes. They avoided them. Orange and Yellow distracted the snakes away from Cyan and Green, as they face the pyramid head shape. He vanished, they looked around trying to be aware of this attack. "Surprise!" He reappeared and shot pink orbs at high speed that Cyan and Green took a hit. He send out his snakes to finish the two, only for Orange and Yellow to lure the snakes from before into the new ones. They crashed into each other. Barracuda can't use them now. He will not fail for the king. He decided on something. If he's going down, he's taking those shapes down with him. He started to break apart, the shapes noticed this. They panicked what are they going to do? Barracuda smirked as he let his body break as he released an absurd amount of snakes towards them. The snakes head towards them, they panicked only for them to use their triangle power to shield them. It worked for now. Blocking the attack from Barracuda. Barracuda was broke into the triangle pieces he was once before and they vanished one they hit the floor. The shapes use their triangle to navigate through the dark cavern to avoid any new threats.
