The moon actually WAS getting closer! Everyone except for the band ran away screaming, or sped away in their cars. "Are YOU doing all of this, Charon? Have you been trying to keep us from forming a band? Because LOOK! We did it! You LOST, Charon! I'm NOT going back to being a ferryman!" Laurence shouted at the moon, challenging his father. The moon suddenly stopped hurtling towards Earth, earning 5 sighs of relief from the band.
"YOU STILL NEED A REAL DRUM SET." boomed Charon from the beyond. Due to the moon being so close to the earth, the gravitational pull caused a powerful high tide, sweeping the masked men into the salty waves, carrying them high in the sky, washing them up on the moon.
Bodur woke up cold and alone, coughing up moondust. He could see the instruments of his ragtag band floating about. He hopped and bounded in slow-notion after the Death Ray guitar, hugging it close. "...Laurence...you had my back this whole time. I hope Charon didn't take you." he said silently. He gave it a big strum, causing the moondust to stir.
A gloved hand popped up out of a nearby crater. Was it an astronaut? Not anymore it wasn't. Inside the dome helmet sat a skull. Bodur screamed and shot the astronaut with the death ray, reducing it to ashes. As he sighed in relief, a familiar hooded man collected the astronaut's soul and put it in his pocket.
"LAURENCE!" Bodur cheered, tackling his friend in slow motion, sending the both of them floating and spinning a few hundred feet. "Haha easy there, Clumsy. We still need to find the others before Sloar does. Charon mentioned a drum set." explained Laurence as they finally landed. "Wow, I still can't believe Mumutits did that. He really sent Sloar to the moon..." Bodur pondered. As if on cue, they could hear his high-pitched screams for help. They hopped and bounded in the direction of the screams, and found the poor guy in pink being dragged by another astronaut zombie. "I'd shoot it with the death ray, but I don't wanna accidentally shoot Mumutits." said Laurence.
Although Bodur was indeed Clumsy, he needed to save his friend. He tightened his black kung-fu belt once more, and bounded after the zombie. They tumbled through the air in slow-motion, Bodur punching and kicking its stupid skull over and over. He landed and brushed the skull-dust off his hands in triumph. "Well, no need to death-ray THAT one!" but he spoke too soon as the headless astronaut tugged at his orange pant leg. Laurence shot the zombie with the death ray, reducing it to ashes...while also burning half of Bodur's pant leg. He did another metal scream of horror as Laurence and Mumutits laughed at his single pant leg being held up by his kung-fu belt. "Oh, but you'll shoot at ME though! Wow, man." Bodur scoffed.
Soon, they found Udabn effortlessly throwing zombie after zombie away from him. He would just grab them by the helmet and toss them like salads! He found his bass and strummed it, knocking the zombies away from him with each powerful strum. This gave Bodur an idea! "Everyone, let's find our instruments, and maybe we can attract all the zombies, then take them all out at once!" he explained. "What about Sloar?" Laurence questioned, an eyebrow raising behind his skull mask. "And what about Captain No?" Mumutits chimed in. "The commotion will bring them both to us." Udabn replied to them, putting a powerful hand on Bodur's shoulder in support, to the smaller man's relief.
The astronaut zombies were getting closer, so Laurence played the guitar and Udabn played the bass, the force of each strum keeping the dead at bay as the 4 men searched for their friend, their instruments, and the drum demon. One particular zombie was resilient, and tried attacking Bodur, and ended up getting pulled into a waltz as his friends continued playing.
"I'll see you on the mooooon, where we're throwing a partyyyyy!
And as you're gaaasping foooor
the laaaast of aaaair, you'll
Tra-la-la-la-laaaaa~"
Bodur realizes all of that waltzing was causing him to kick up too much dust, yet he continued singing.
"Twirling moondust aboooound,
Lung destruction is startiiiiiiing!
Take your suit off and
swiiiiim iiiiiin Maaaariiiiiaaaaa!"
Their spinning got so intense that the zombie flew out of its astronaut suit, and Bodur out of his karate suit. The force sent the zombie hurtling at the growing crowd of them like a skeletal bowling ball at skeletal pins! Bodur floated back down to his friends, showing off a sparkly cape and black tank top that were no longer hidden by the karate suit. "How did you..." Mumutits questioned in awe. Bodur was about to explain, when Udadn cut them short by showing them a mask he found floating about.
Captain No's heart-eyed mask.
