Lo: Don't worry guys...Tari: We'll be fine.

~December 1, Front of Peach's castle~(It has been 3.3 months since the WOTFI rebellion. Here, Lo is going to celebrate his 2nd birthday on Earth when...)Kel: Are you ready for this, champ?Lo: Ready as i'll ever be.Ezlo: Hold up, i'm sensing some weird energy coming from above.(The three of them looked up & noticed a special portal in the shape of the META RUNNER emblem lingers on them)Lo: Ok, is this part of your plaaaaaaaaaaaaan? (starts getting sucked in)Kel:No, i don't think it issssssssss...... (gets sucked to it as well)(The portal then closes & Mario came out for a peek)Mario: Nah, it's probably nothing. (closes door)
(As the three are warping to the next world, the couple starts to take a new form.)Lo: Aw sweet, i can't believe my birthday starts by meeting back with MR Tari & others!Kel: Yeah, but we promised to start working at TASCORP as soon as we go back. I mean, what's our first impression be?Lo: *starts thinking a bit, but now has an idea* I know. Why not we have a make out as our first impression?Ezlo: Are you crazy?! This is a stupid idea!Kel: Actually, i kinda liked it. (Ezlo gets triggered when he heard her response)

~TASCORP HQ, corridor, 6 In-universe months later~Lucks: How many months is there since we last seen the two?Belle: Currently 6 months, sir.Lucks: Impossible. If they're gonna make us wait even later (opens the door), so help me, i- (notices Belle & Tari being shocked on what they saw) Oh come on, what are you-(then he gets shocked seeing both Lo & a girl [actually Zel in her recent form] making out)Lo: Hi there boss.

Lucks: Lo, who is this strange girl?Kel: Do you remember me, Lucks?Tari: Zel...Kel: That's right Tari, but i go by Kel right now.Lucks: How is that even possible?Lo: I was so glad you asked...Lucks: Hold it right here, all of you should start getting some rest for now (& i'mma need some on my own). Belle, can you please follow them to their rooms?Belle: Yes sir.Lo: I hope it's a duplex.Lucks: It will actually be seperate, just to avoid any distractions.Both (Lo & Kel): Wait what?

~Silica Alleyway~

Lamar: Geez Masa, where did you get yourself into?Ezlo: Who's Masa?(Both Lamar & Sofia turned around to notice a talking cap dangling onto a storefront)Lamar: Excuse me, who are you?Ezlo: Oh, i'm Ezlo, Lo's personal assistant.Sofia: How did you get there? Where's Lo?Ezlo: Well...

(flashback, a few moments earlier)Lo: Ezlo, listen to me. I want you to join MD-5 & tell them we are here. You'll act as our eyes on the sky.Ezlo: Wait, what?Lo: (forcibly grabs him by the cap) YOU'RE GOING TO BRAZIL! (yeets him off the tube, as the flashback ends)

Ezlo: & that's what happened. Sofia: Well i hope we'd find him on time.Ezlo: I guess we did. (notices the robed gamer beating a person in a round of War Tech Fighters)Lamar: Yep, that's him.

~TASCORP Rooms~Lo: Mind i need a checkup on Theo. I'm gonna make sure he's safe.Lucks: *feels irritated* Fine. But one at a time!Kel: Yes boss!Lucks: Your exhibition matches is at tomorrow, 7. Don't be late! (leaves the corridor)Lo: On it!Theo: Lo, is that you?Lo: Heeeeey, Theeo! How are you doing, bud?Theo: Bored actually, the only person i talked to is the Elder Tomato who only has one story. (he's about to mimic his story when...) What are you doing?Lo: I'mma just... (inputs his arm for some sweet hacking), here we go!

(A second screen opens up on Kel's side of the room.)Kel: Theo?Theo: Wait, is that you Zel? You looked more beautiful than before.Kel: Aww, thanks man.Theo: Also, did you gain weight?Lo: Actually, that's our baby.Theo: Wait, does that mean...Lo: Yep.Theo: Woah! Well then congratulations for both of you?Kel: Honey, do you think these rooms are uncomfortable.Lo: Yep, it's like a Swedish prison. They removed the cushions. (gets glares from Theo) Most of the cushions.Theo: Well, what are you too going to do now?

Lo: We'll figure something out. (in sync with his wife, Tari, & Belle) I promise.

Ezlo: Nice place you got here.Neighbor: *enters room* Hey Masa, you still owe me- oh, you got guests. My bad. *leaves*Lamar: Nice neighbours too.

~Masa's place, Silica City Apartment~Masa: Hey Ezlo, ain't you said that Lo had the spare intel back at the arena.Ezlo: Yep, & he made sure it ain't be easily found.Sofia: How?Ezlo: He labeled it "Server Passwords" on his secret folder.Masa: Then why does'nt he give it to you already?Ezlo: He might've thought that if they got me, they might destroy me.Lamar: Guess the homeboy had some extra tricks, huh?Ezlo: Correct.Lamar: Well, there's 4 speedbumps left. Tari, the kids & Theo.

Neighbour: *enters again* KNOCK KNOCK! Hey Masa, can i-Ezlo: WE'RE STILL BUSY!Neighbour: Oh. I'll come back later *leaves again*Lamar: I don't know about them Project Blue mess, but we made a promise for them. We promise we'll keep them safe & we did'nt!Ezlo: I'm dunno if you'd left more than just your arm at the arena, but the Masa they'd know would keep a promise.Sofia: We would'nt be here if it were'nt the sacrifices they made. We owed them, Masa.Masa: *lightens up* Ok, a promise is a promise. We'll get them outta here.Lamar: Now, we found Masa!Ezlo: But we just did.Lamar: I know.
