Prologue - Welcome to the Villain's World: Chapter 15; Frantic Dashing

The screen turns on as the chapter title plays "Chapter - 15; Frantic Dashing".

The group were still running but were slowing down due to exhaustion as Ace yelled "More ghosts?! They're floating around here too!" Then Deuce said back "But if we stop to fight, we'll never get anywhere. We have to just keep moving." Ace's response was "Sure, but don't act like we voted you team leader. The only reason we're here in the first place is because of that stupid stunt you pulled." Deuce then got slightly irritated as he yelled back "Oh? I'm pretty sure this all started because you tried to shirk your window-cleaning punishment!" Now arguing Ace yelled back "So we're bringing up ancient history now? Then if you wanna get down to brass tacks, this all started when that furball torched that statue!" Now getting Grim involved as he yelled to Ace "Myah?! Maybe you shouldn'ta made fun of me, then!"

Yuu, taking full notice about how bad the fight had gotten yelled at all three "Guys! We're in real hot water, remember?!" Deuce then taking the responsible role back continues Yuu's statement with "If we don't come back with a magestone by morning, we're all being expelled!"

Ace still annoyed sasses back "Yeah, which is why we don't need you ordering the rest of us around. It gets old real fast."

Yuu then stops in her tracks as she says "Wait…I think I heard another voice just now."

They then heard a frightful, grotesque, and echo-y voice, although it's difficult to make out what it's saying. But for the parts they are able to make out it sounds something like "...iiivvv… …oooouuu…"

The three boys say "Huh?!" in surprise to the voice while Yuu shivers for a second. The group is now standing in one place as Ace nervously asks "Wh-where's that comin' from?"

It's now clear whatever's making those sounds is closer as they hear it again although more clearly "...neeevvvaaa… …iiivvv… …oooouuu…"

Deuce comments on the obvious "Sounds like…it's getting closer…"

The thing then appears right in front of them. Its entire being is black, minus the red dirty shirt-like thing and yellow buttons. But instead of a head it's more jar with a black sludge or ink inside, but there's a crack which causes some of it to be leaking out. It also seems to carry a glowing red oil lamp and in the other it has a large pickaxe to fit its larger size.

Its intelligence clearly isn't all there as it yells at the group "Stooonesss… Stooonesss aaare miiiiine!"

The group gets extremely scared seeing it. As they yell out "Bwah! There it is!"

All of the ghosts had already fled once the group had first heard it but they were too distracted to notice before.

Their group then starts to back up as Deuce yells "What is that?!" Grim cried "Myaaah! No one said there'd be monsters! Let's get outta here!" Ace also yells "That thing's super creepy! But didn't it just say something about 'stones'?!"

Grim gets out of his head slightly as he yells a question at Ace seemingly sarcastic "Wait, what?!"

The monster following them yells "Stooonesss… nevva give stooonesss…!" The group yells out "Ah!"

But Deuce stills tries to take a positive out of this situation as he says "So there ARE still magestones here!"

But Grim has gone back into his fully fear headspace as cries "Myaaah… Even as a master sorcerer, I… I don't think I can take that thing down!"

Deuce, ignoring the danger yells to them "But we need a magestone or we'll get expelled! I'm going in!" Ace yells back "Are you outta your mind?!" Yuu, knowing they have nowhere else to go, joins Deuce as she yells to him "You can't do it alone!" Now runs up beside him to join him in the fight. As Deuce runs in shouting "I won't be expelled! No matter what!" with Yuu close behind him.

Although the fight is unclear as the screen fades to black as "To be continued" plays before fully turning off.
