As the demon king leaves kitty already begins feeling the effects of the spire.

she falls to her knees and yells, “Hurry and destroy that tower before I end up mutating too”

sloth and plague rush as quickly as possible to get to the dismal spire but they’re stopped halfway there by several townsfolk who have been warped by the chaos from the dismal spire. Plague starts fighting while sloth stands there taking a familiar pose.

plague, “what the hell are you doing???”

sloth, “I’m charging my kamehameha wave”

plague, “this isn’t a cartoon man you can’t do that”

sloth, “that demon king guy just used an energy ball attack and if all the power from that big explosion went into me then there’s GOTTA be enough energy for a kamehameha wave in me somewhere”

plague, “now’s not the best time bruh”

sloth, “I think I’m feeling it……………. lemme focus on the feeling”

plague, “suit yourself, this fight is as good as won with me on the clock”

sloth’s fingertips begin to glow and he suddenly yells, “YEAH I HAVE MAGIC POWERS MAN!!! uhhhh…. special beam cannon? nonono…. death beam thing…. I don’t know let me shoot it”

sloth attempts to shoot but all that comes out is a bunch of glowing needles that rip clean through the mutated people and a few trees behind them. He snaps his fingers with an accomplished facial impression and says while he nods, “kinetic needles”

plague, “catchy name now fight”

sloth runs in saying, “alright lets do this LEEEEEEERRRRROOOYYYYYYYY!!!”

plague talks to himself, “this is the kind of guy that spends most of his life in the computer playing games and watching anime online… at this point life is like a game to him”

plague asks sloth, “do you have any explanations as to why they’re not attacking each other?”

sloth, “they probably only attack stuff that’s not like them…. like zombies and stuff”

plague, “that actually makes sense if you think about it”

they continue to converse while fighting off hordes of “zombies” in an attempt to get to the dismal spire. Meanwhile kitty is having trouble just resisting the mutation.

kitty holds a white fluffy kitten and talks to herself, her voice slightly distorted, “I won’t let it beat me…. my willpower is greater than this… I can resist…. I must resist…. where are they? why haven’t they stopped the dismal spire yet? if they don’t… destroy *pant* the tower *pant* soon enough….. I will… kill… them…. no… I will go kill them right now”
