As the three masked men went back to Bodur's instrument room to practice some metal and jazz and all that jazz, Sloar The Insatiable was still underground, clashing and thumping loudly. He consumed many sewer rats and possibly a human or two trapped down there. The drum beast clashed and thumped his way out of the city, and found a way above ground, partially destroying a nuclear power plant in the process. There were explosions and radiation leaking everywhere, causing quite the havoc!

~Meanwhile~

"Testinnnnnng, Testinnnng. Onnne Twooo Thrrrrreeee~" Bodur was making microphone ASMR as his bandmates tested their instruments. "Dude I hear sirens outside." said Laurence mid-strum. "Oh, they're probably just testing the power plant sirens. They do that sometimes." Bodur nonchalantly replied into the microphone, waving it off as nothing. Mumutits, in pain, massaged the toxic symbol on the forehead of his pink mask. "Nope, that's the real deal!" he winced. Before Bodur or Laurence could react, Mumutits sprang out of the room, Naruto-running towards the power plant, armed with only a wooden drumstick.

"We should probably go after him."

"Yeah, let's bring some instruments!"

The people were evacuating the city, screaming, running, driving and honking their horns. But none of that stopped Mumutits. He leapt and bound over cars, mailboxes and roofs, straight into the radiation, and into the heart of the power plant. The workers inside were wearing hazmat suits, trying to weld and patch up the damage Sloar caused to the machinery. Mumutits continued leaping and bounding up the walls and machines, searching for Sloar.

"He went straight towards the nuclear explosion! We can't follow him there! ...can we? Are we still dead?" Bodur questioned. Laurence shook his head. "We're gonna need to find another drummer, and fast." Laurence answered solemnly. Bodur's eyes widened behind his mask. "We can't just LEAVE him in there!" he said in disbelief, then went speeding towards the explosion after Mumutits. "Dammit, Bodur! Do you have a dying kink that I need to know about?" Laurence shouted as he too sped off towards the explosion.

Something shot out of the top of the power plant smokestack, stopping the two masked men in their tracks. Sloar The Insatiable was catapulted out of the building, and was now hurtling toward space. Soon after, Mumutits The Sour came running up to them, slightly glowing and breathing heavily, but otherwise unharmed(?). "MUMUTITS YOU DID IT! YOU SAVED THE TOWN! YOU SAVED THE BAND!" Bodur screamed and hugged his pink friend, obviously not caring that he was radiating radiation. "Uhh...how do you feel, man?" Laurence asked.

"I taste lemons...and I reeeeally gotta take a piss." replied Mumutits.

The three men noticed all of the job-johnnys at the construction site where they met were knocked over, to Mumutits' disappointment. They hurriedly tried to get him to a public bathroom, but since a lot of people evacuated, restaurants were closed. They broke into one, and Laurence silenced the alarms with the death-ray on his Applause guitar. Mumutits, thinking he was finally going to have his piss, was met with a conga line emerging from the men's bathroom. He crossed his legs waiting for it to end, refusing to use the girls' room.

At the end of the conga line, emerged yet another masked man. This one was dressed in yellow and green, and had a very authentic-looking pattern on his luchador mask. Mumutits almost knocked him out of the way trying to get into the bathroom! The confused man stumbled back, but then noticed the other two masked men watching in bewilderment at the conga line leaving the restaurant. He silently made his way to the instruments they were carrying on their backs, and strummed a bass guitar, startling Bodur. "Oh! Uh, hello there!" he said nervously. He looked up at the muscular bear of a man, as he did not answer. He was more interested in the bass. "Ah, you wanna try the bass? Have at it!" Bodur said, handing him the instrument. The muscular man absolutely shredded the bass, making Bodur and Laurence cheer manly cheers! "Say, we needed a bassist! We're running out of time, can you help us? Bodur asked. The man did not answer, and continued shredding the bass.

Finally, they heard a flush, to their relief. Mumutits emerged, looking embarrassed.

"Does anyone have hand sanitizer? There's no ru- xuwbapfbtyxhaoor -erm- I mean uh...I can't make the wa-ternfcjswbaidfrbfjza -" Mumutits struggled to form words. "Mm, no running water?" The muscular man stopped playing the bass to answer him in a very deep voice. Mumutits' blue eyes stared up at the man. "Ah! Y-yes! Thank you uh..." "Udabn." the muscular man said. Udabn then ripped a sanitizer dispenser out of the wall and handed it to Mumutits, then continued shredding on the bass as if nothing happened.
