{Open to the interior of Noxigar's laboratory. Raiku is trapped in a containment chamber, where conditions are regulated by a machine which sprays holy water every 24 hours. The Council are standing in front of Raiku, separated by a glass screen.}

RAIKU: So, you're just going to leave me in here, huh?

SEPHIROTH: It was our only option, Raiku. You've hurt too many, people.

RAIKU: Hey, what is it with the weird way you talk? What is up with that?

CHAOS: He has a point, Seph. Why do you talk like that?

SEPHIROTH: I-... it's my accent, okay?

RAIKU: Why do you call yourself Sephiroth? Your name is Lexon Dar-...

SEPHIROTH: I HAVE HEARD ENOUGH, ALREADY. I'm done here, anyway.

{Sephiroth turns around and leaves the lab.}

CHAOS: Yeah, I have shit to do too. I'll see you both around.

{Chaos follows Sephiroth, leaving only Noxigar and Bell with Raiku.}

BELL: It's amazing how quickly you were able to construct this, Nox.

{Noxigar chuckles.}

NOXIGAR: Well, I admit, it was not entirely a new creation. I have used this chamber to contain several of my specimens over the years; it was only a case of installing the holy water dispenser.

RAIKU: Which fuckin' sucks, by the way.

BELL: Ah. It works well.

NOXIGAR: Indeed! The chamber is made up of plexiglass, backed up by a palladium alloy. With the debilitating effects of the holy water, Raiku here is rendered weak and powerless, unable to break out if he tried!

RAIKU: Oh yeah? I'll show you!!

{Raiku delivers a sucker punch to the glass in an attempt to break it, but fails to make a mark. He recoils in pain, holding his fist and yelling.}

RAIKU: FUCK. THAT REALLY HURT, OUCH! Fuck you, science guy!

NOXIGAR: Watch this!

{Noxigar walks over to the computer connected to the chamber and types in a few commands. Raiku's protests become silent as the sound is cut off from the outside.}

BELL: Wow. That's definitely the most useful function.

{Raiku stamps his foot and yells loudly, angry at the fact that nobody can hear him.}

BELL: Can he still hear us?

{Raiku pulls down his trousers and exposes his bared butt to Bell, motioning to it.}

BELL: I assume that's a yes?

NOXIGAR: My facility will do an excellent job at keeping him isolated and benign, never to hurt another soul again.

BELL: I see. Are you alright with keeping him around? I mean-...

NOXIGAR: I am perfectly fine with it. In fact, I feel that there will be a lot to learn from his presence.

BELL: I almost killed him. If you hadn't arrived when you did, I would have surely done it.

NOXIGAR: It takes a lot to kill a demon, you know.

BELL: I know that. It's just...

NOXIGAR: Just what, Imothy?

BELL: This man, who murdered my wife and countless others... Who feels no remorse for his actions... I spared. But his two minions...

NOXIGAR: The Blade Brothers?

BELL: You should've seen me, man. I didn't just kill them, I destroyed them. I didn't even flinch.

NOXIGAR: Can you really blame yourself? It was an act of self-defense.

BELL: It wasn't though. Killing them both made me feel invigorated. I-I enjoyed it. They were only following his orders, and I killed them. Raggonix, he was only avenging his brother who I had just slaughtered. It felt so right at the time, but now, I-...

NOXIGAR: You cannot be so hard on yourself. It happens.

BELL: I guess... it just... I don't know. I just need a rest.

NOXIGAR: That is probably the best idea, yes.

BELL: I'll see you around, Nox. Do you have any plans?

{Noxigar glances at Raiku, who is still attacking the glass chamber.}

NOXIGAR: I have a few.

BELL: Ah. A'ight. But yeah, see ya.

NOXIGAR: Salutations, Imothy.

{Bell leaves the laboratory, leaving Noxigar and Raiku. Noxigar looks at Raiku and smiles with an expression of malevolence.}

NOXIGAR: Let the experiments begin.

{Cut to Sephiroth and Chaos, who are having a drink together at the Wiki City High School Bar.}

CHAOS: You know, I just realized.

SEPHIROTH: Realized what?

CHAOS: How fucked up it is that the only bar in the entire city is on a high school campus.

SEPHIROTH: Yeah, that is weird, actually. Though, what about the Kirbychu Resort?

CHAOS: No, that's a breakfast bar. You can't get a drink at a breakfast bar.

SEPHIROTH: What is up with the Kirbychu Resort anyway? I mean, did anybody ever go there who _didn't_ already live in this city?

CHAOS: Yeah, I know right? Or like, that time where we all went on a holiday camp adventure at once. Like, all of us.

SEPHIROTH: All of us went on holiday, at the exact same time, to this one destination.

CHAOS: This city is weird.

{Chaos looks around for a short moment.}

CHAOS: Remember when we were both teachers at this school? Y'know, I taught band, and you taught P.E?

SEPHIROTH: Yeah, and Noid shot himself, and died. The same Noid, which is now on, the City Council.

CHAOS: How does that even-...

SEPHIROTH: It's better not to, think about it.

{Noelle walks into the bar. Chaos notices her and panics.}

CHAOS: OHBOYIJUSTREMEMBEREDINEEDEDTOPEE

{Chaos rushes into the washroom. Noelle sits down next to Sephiroth, who sighs.}

SEPHIROTH: Hey there, Noelle.

NOELLE: This is silly. I thought we were on a "not avoiding each other" basis at this point.

{Rick Adamson, the bartender, walks over to Noelle and Sephiroth, holding a tray.}

RICK: Hello! What would you like to order?

NOELLE: I'll just have a rum and coke, thank you.

{Sephiroth raises his finger and puts his empty glass on the tray.}

SEPHIROTH: Me too.

RICK: Righteo, neighboreenos! Say, did you all hear that they finally caught Raiku?

SEPHIROTH: Oh yeah, I was there, heh. Didn't you used to know him?

RICK: Eh. He used to have me around, but mainly to parade me off as his "friend with no superpowers." I didn't really know him personally.
