Episode 5-1: Can't Take My Eye Off You

The Other Dimension - Bizarre Staircase
Rook Rook	Whew, we've walked quite the distance, haven't we? Vil, Cater, are you both holding up okay?
Vil Vil	As much as I would like to say otherwise, I'm not exactly in prime condition right now.
Cater Cater	Honestly, I feel about ready to keel over. I'm holding you all back, aren't I?
Trey Trey	Don't worry about it. You're naturally going to be tired. None of you held back with your magic at all when you were taken over by the ghosts.
Deuce Deuce	Sorry, Sebek. You've been dying to get ahead this whole time, haven't you?
Sebek Sebek	OF COURSE I HAVE! I'm refraining from going off on my own to increase the chances of rescuing Lord Malleus, but were it not for that, I would run ahead right this instant… Ah! Our group happens to have three members of the End This Halloween Party and three victims of the ghosts. Rook, Trey and I could carry all of you!
Trey Trey	Ahaha, you've got a bit of a funny bone, don't you? …Except you don't seem to be joking. You're entirely serious, aren't you?
Vil Vil	I'd rather crawl on the floor than use such a shabby vehicle.
Rook Rook	Companionship between friends is truly a beautiful thing! I wouldn't be against this plan, but… How about we check inside there first? Here, look to your right.
Sebek Sebek	My right? …Oh, there's a door! Now we can get one step closer. Let's go. If you can't walk, don't hestitate to inform me!

Sebek Sebek	Hm? Isn't this the exact same place as before?
Trey Trey	That's strange. All the doors we've opened until now have lead us to completely different areas.
???	Trey!
Riddle Riddle	Cater, and Deuce, too. I'm so glad you're all okay!
Trey Trey	Riddle! Ace! Oh, thank goodness… You don't look too injured, at least.
Cater Cater	Riddle! Acey! I'm sorry I worried you.
Deuce Deuce	I'm really sorry. I ended up causing you trouble because of my incompetence…
Ace Ace	You're tellin' me. One minute you were snoring away, the next, you were just gone. Can't take my eye off you for a second.
Deuce Deuce	I wasn't apologizing to you.
Ace Ace	Uh, excuse me? Little less of that attitude would be nice. Oh yeah, I heard from the headmaster that when the ghost took you over, you were wailing like a little baby. Man, I wish I could've seen it!
Deuce Deuce	Wha…! Sh-Shut up!
Sebek Sebek	This is…
Rook Rook	Très bien! Our four teams have finally managed to meet up into one again!
Silver Silver	You don't look like you're injured, either, Sebek. I'm glad.
Sebek Sebek	Hmph. What makes you think I would be injured if you yourself are fine? Hm? Is it just you? What about Lord Malleus and Master Lilia?
Silver Silver	…We have yet to find them. It seems that you're in the same boat.
Sebek Sebek	Ngh!
Rook Rook	Ahhh, Epel! I'm so happy that I can once more feast my eyes on your lovely smile! It's like I've found a beautiful field of flowers!
Epel Epel	I don't know if I'd call it lovely, but… Rook, thank you for coming to rescue both me and Vil.
Ortho Ortho	Big Brooooooooooo!
Idia Idia	Orthooooooooooooo!
Ortho Ortho	I'm so glad you're safe… I was so worried I thought my circuits were going to blow.
Idia Idia	Thanks for coming to save me. sigh The relief I feel at finally being freed from those horrible party members is immense.
Floyd Floyd	Hey, hey, you two are lookin' all full of life yourselves.
Azul Azul	Floyd… You really joined the rescue party, as well. I would never have imagined you taking up such a tedious job.
Jade Jade	You came running because you were so worried, didn't you? I really have been blessed with such a benevolent brother.
Floyd Floyd	Uh-huh. Don't forget I'm an Octavinelle student, too. Gotta always remember that having a benevolent heart is our motto. Mmkay, time to think about how exactly I should have you show your appreciation.
Leona Leona	Oh? Well, if it isn't the lost little pup that escaped from its kennel. Have you remembered where your house is now?
Jack Jack	L-Leona, sir. I didn't really run away or anything… Actually, no. Trying to make excuses is just pathetic. I'm real sorry for causing you all this trouble!
Ruggie Ruggie	Shishishi. C'mon, Leona, you should just admit that you were worried about him.
Kalim Kalim	I'm glad that everyone seems to be okay!
Jamil Jamil	You're one to talk. Everyone who was taken over by the ghosts looks about ready to collapse.
Rook Rook	You're right. I see it wasn't just our group. We should be thankful we even managed to all meet back up again. Did we all coincidentally arrive here at the same time?
Silver Silver	We found a door in the middle of our path, but it was locked. We were all talking amongst ourselves to try and figure out what to do when it opened.
Riddle Riddle	It was the same with us. We were lost as to what to do when suddenly…
Ruggie Ruggie	…we heard the sound of the lock just opening, and so we then just burst our way inside.
Trey Trey	The door we found wasn't locked or anything. We just opened it like normal and ended up here.
Leona Leona	I see… So it was timed to unlock when everyone was ready, was it? Which means someone deliberately gathered us all here at once.
Rook Rook	Indeed… I imagine they did it for one specific reason.
Sebek Sebek	What reason? Wait, what's that door?!
Trey Trey	Everyone, look down the stairs. There's this gigantic door that's really fancy… It's completely different to all the doors we've went through until now.
Floyd Floyd	They even tryna hide it? They just planted a huge door in the middle of nowhere. It literally screams it's a boss door. Not that we really have a choice here even if it is a trap.
Riddle Riddle	We actually agree for once. If the cause of this neverending Halloween is through this door…then we must simply get rid of it!
Silver Silver	Yeah. And then we'll definitely get Lord Malleus and Master Lilia back.
Rook Rook	Now then. Just what will come out when we open this door? There's only one way for us to find out. Is everyone ready?
Yeah!
