*ahem* Anyway, not much more in this episode, so I'll just get on with it already.
Stage 7-5: Micky's Goodwill
The stage opens with a few more pumpkin and carrot men attempting to attack the Sacred Tome. Steve and Munky decide to teach them a lesson on unholy invasion of privacy with a group-attack strike, with Munky getting credit for the multi-kill. Nabiki scouts ahead in her Dark Runner and sees another Corn man in the distance. Io sees some scenery suitable for being taken home with him (okay, just a quality Flat Rock), but he and Nabiki destroy the rest. The corn man tries to attack him with a fierce Mega Wind spell, but he shrugs it off and lets Kashiwa tend to his wounds. The team draws the rest of the enemies close enough to give them a simultaneous and sound beating.
Stage 7-6: Micky's Bumper Crop
But this sad story of Zetta's vicious vegetable vendetta has not yet reached its conclusion. The leader, a gangly-looking King Corn, awaits Zetta's team at the end of the road, along with a brand new boss tune...the only time (I think) this shows up in-game.
[Wow...Zetta mush really hate corn for a boss theme of this magnitude to play for some vegetables...]
The Corn keeps silent and waits for Zetta's minions to begin their onslaught, and they do so by attacking one of the Foods Markets on the side of the field, reducing the enemy's chance to call in for reinforcements. The boss tries to send his buggy over to attack Steve, but it's quickly smashed to bits by Nabiki's own Buggy, which takes it for a ride on Route 666. The remaining troops get some token offense in before they're driven off in absence of their leader.
The corn men's leader rails against "the violence inherent to the system", and vows to stand up for his "oppressed brethren". Zetta gloats and scares him off, telling the lone rebellious corn that he just got "shucked".
"I, the mighty Overlord Zetta, do not fear corn, kettle or otherwise! I think I'll make muffins the next time corn crosses me...and don't you forget it!"
Back waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay above ground, Pram interrogates Trenia, still suspecting that she either is The One, or knows who The One is and/or what The One looks like. Trenia continues to play dumb, and dodges the question by giving her the same answer as Babylon ("hairy", "glossy sheen", etc.). Out of nowhere comes an old corn guy, sporting a long beard...and a glossy sheen. Zetta teleports back just in time to see Trenia's "new friend", supposedly The One. He thinks it to be one of the corn men he just slaughtered wholesale and zap-fries him, to the shock and horror of everyone. Babylon sails out of the area like an arrow being fired from a bow, worried of the retribution that he fears is about to come to Zetta.
EPISODE 7 END!
