Knife and the Wasps just fly over the acid pools. However, as Knife flies past...a piece of worm meat falls into the acid pool.

Cassie fires his hook gun at Knife, trying to cling on her for more easier travel.

"Chibi's some sorta...what is it, fucking, occult robot or what? Why the fuck did she summon you!?"

"Uh oh...."

The acid pool starts to bubble and boil. The defending champions freeze.

"Okay...." Fleg whispers. "Everybody stand perfectly still...."

OH NO! THE WORM MEAT! Considering Xabby just has corn on her clothes, Mr. 300 BC immediately picks up Xabby and hops towards the nearest chambers as fast as she could.

“What about the worm meat?” Guy asks Xabby.

Cassie's brainum

   "Im betting something stupid. Last time i checked, our worshipers dont put us in soup."   

The seals suddenly appear.

"Cornbread, anyone?" The seal holds up something that... might be cornbread? It's hard to tell.

"Welp. We're gonna die."

Just then an enormous worm, a hundred times the size of the previous ones, lurches out from the spot where Mr. 300 was just standing, swallowing gallons of acid as is rises out of the pit.

"We're fucked. We're so fucked."

All around us, more and more gargantuan worms rise out of the water, towering over the Tropers as they look down with their gaping maws.

"RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!" Tengleton screams. "IT'S THE PARASITE KING!!!"

The defending champions start scrambling across the lily pads.

Knife zooms away as fast as possible, nearly hitting supersonic speeds, while the Wasps follow, boosting themselves with teleports in order to keep up.

"What in the-"

This is where Cassie realises that his hook never made it.

"BLYAT-" He starts slinging as fast as he can, trying to dodge the worms.

While all of that is happening, Mr. 300 BC just hop to the nearest Chamber while carrying Xabby, which isn't the right chamber, just the middle chamber, to have the Tropers and everyone else deal with the worms and the worm's king.

"Oh, hi." Harper cranes their neck to look at the towering worms.

"I don't suppose you'd like some cornbread?" The seals hold the cornbread aloft. Incidentally, the cornbread is blue, having been made from blue corn and all.

I toss up my Keyblade as it turns into a glider, which I start riding across the acid, dodging this way and that.

The Parasite King swings its many heads around, trying to swallow the Tropers as they make their escape. The fish people run after, sticking to the edges of the chamber.

"Why did they have to wake it?" Jebediah complains.

"This is just how we lost Billy Bob," Fleg sobs.

Beets sheds a single tear in memory.

One of the heads leans down and chomps down on the Seals' cornbread, swallowing it whole, and somehow just barely missing the seals themselves.

“Yeah that’s bad that’s very much bad!”

Chibi rolls onto the lilypads a lot more quickly, in-fact, she stopped being a ball!

Cassie's crainium

   "Wait a second, HAVE YOU BEEN POSSESSED BEFORE???"    She flips through a bunch of papers.    "THEY DONT HAVE IT IN THE RECORDS???"   

Briya is running with the Tropers as well. The statue is now holding onto Briya's bag for dear life.

It is leaving behind magical mines in an attempt to slow the parasite king down...

The Troper Wizard is busy casting Haste on herself as she runs ahead.

"I SAID-"

The rest is gibberish.

The Wizard Statue's mines succeed in slowing the Parasite King down a little, as the explosion knocks its head away, causing it to reel and its flesh to smoke. However, it has plenty of other heads to follow up with, and this also destroys the lily pads, making it much harder for others to follow.

“Crap” Guy says now realizing what he needs to do, Guy slowly tries to jump his way to any available space to join with the group.

The Harpers scatter as the worm head bears down and nearly catches them, floating above the liquid with no regard for the lilypads or lack thereof.

Then they produce large amounts of rope and start wrapping the rope around as many of the heads as they can, then bringing the ends of the ropes towards each other in an attempt to tie them all together.

"GOOD QUESTION-" Cassie accidentally drops another gun in the stomach acid.

"FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK-" He accidentally ends up clinging to one of the Parasite King's heads.

"oh no"

(Chey and Ford finally catch up with the others.)
"Hi, sorry we vanished, we had to sell off our pop-WORMS?! OH, HELL NO!"

Both wizards are still running but the statue is watching the Seals... and gets even more ideas.

It casts a spell, and it knows that sooner or later this statue will fall apart... OH WELL! The spell in question... uh... does nothing?

Ok it made a bunch of earth pillars that float on the surface and also launches Briya away from the Worms. A few pillars are aligned in a way so the ropes can be attached to the pillars to aid the Seals. As well as helping the others get away.

It looks at itself and sees that its left arm is visibly cracked...

Meanwhile, with Xabby and Mr. 300 are located

Whew! That was a close one, wouldn't you say, Xabby? Xabby was standing there, menacingly at Mr. 300 BC.

. .You want to eat a pringles chip?

WHAT THE HELL, MR. 300 BC?! You literally let the Tropers and others deal with the ghost worms and now we're in the chamber that isn't the chamber we're aiming for!

Xabby then groans as Mr. 300 BC observe at the location of the Chamber they're both in.

I wonder if the Chamber this time has something worth searching?

The seals start connecting some of the ropes to Briya's earth pillars.

Guy looks up seeing the pillars “If only they were lower!” Guy yells out before seeing the king, he looks at his SPAS and back to the king, guy breaths in and out before jumping and aiming down before firing giving him enough force to grab onto one of the pillars.
