[Scene 1 – Arrival in the New Town]
The brawlers, tired but excited, arrive at a bustling town on Path 6. The town is lively with people setting up for the annual fair, colorful banners fluttering in the breeze, and various games and stalls lining the streets. The atmosphere is festive, and the streets are filled with the sounds of laughter and excitement.
Shauna:
“This place is buzzing! I wonder what kind of fun events they have.”
Sakuro (looking around):
“Stay focused. We’re here for the medal, remember?”
Kouchu (grinning):
“Of course! But hey, we can have a little fun along the way, right?”
As they walk through the fair, a frantic person suddenly runs up to them, out of breath.
Person (panting):
“Please, you’ve got to help! The gold ball has gone missing! It was supposed to be part of the grand show, and now it’s gone!”
Kouchu steps forward, eager to solve the mystery.
Kouchu (determined):
“I’ll take care of it! Don’t worry, we’ll find that gold ball!”

[Scene 2 – The Magician’s Show]
Meanwhile, Shauna and Sakuro are approached by a magician named Cale, who asks them for help with his big show. He explains that he’s been struggling with his performance and needs volunteers who are willing to help him impress the audience with some unique tricks.
Cale (nervously):
“I’m supposed to perform in front of a huge crowd today, but I’m not ready. Can you help me? I need some volunteers to make this show a success.”
Shauna (enthusiastically):
“Of course! We’d be happy to help. Right, Sakuro?”
Sakuro (grumbling):
“I don’t see why not… as long as we don’t waste too much time.”
Shauna and Sakuro quickly get involved with the magician’s preparations. They work together, training him to perform his tricks flawlessly and giving him the confidence he needs to make the show a success. Meanwhile, Kouchu goes off on his own to investigate the mystery of the missing gold ball.

[Scene 3 – The Mystery Unfolds]
Kouchu’s investigation takes him to the nearby stalls and the fairgrounds, where he speaks with various people who were involved with the gold ball. After a few false leads and talking to witnesses, Kouchu begins to piece together the clues. Eventually, he uncovers that the thief is none other than Julia, a known troublemaker who has ties to the Menace Five.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
Kouchu (to Roaracryst, whispering):
“It’s Julia. She must be trying to steal the gold ball for Hunter Grai.”
Kouchu and Roaracryst quickly rush to confront Julia, who is hiding with the gold ball near the backstage area, preparing to make her escape.
Julia (sneering):
“You’re too late, Kouchu. The gold ball is mine, and I’m taking it to Hunter Grai. He’ll be pleased.”
Kouchu (stepping forward, determined):
“Not if I can help it!”
Kouchu and Julia face off, and she summons her Crystal Monster, Snakerie, to fight. Snakerie, a large serpent-like Crystal Monster, coils around the area, ready to strike.
Kouchu (confident):
“Roaracryst, let’s stop her!”
Kouchu and Roaracryst engage in battle with Snakerie, using their combined powers to try and counter the serpent’s attacks. Meanwhile, Shauna and Sakuro are still helping Cale with his show. The crowd is growing larger, and the pressure is mounting, but Shauna and Sakuro’s training has made Cale more confident in his abilities.
?
[Scene 4 – The Show Must Go On]
Back at the fair, Cale performs his biggest trick yet, with Shauna and Sakuro assisting him. They help make the magic appear more realistic, turning his simple act into a breathtaking spectacle. The crowd watches in awe as Cale flawlessly performs his illusions, gaining confidence with every successful trick.
Cale (whispering to Shauna and Sakuro):
“Thank you so much! You’ve given me the confidence to do this!”
Shauna (smiling):
“Just believe in yourself, and you’ll do great.”
Sakuro (nodding):
“You’ve got this.”
?
[Scene 5 – The Final Confrontation]
Back at the confrontation with Julia, Kouchu and Roaracryst work together to outmaneuver Snakerie’s attacks. Roaracryst’s webs trap Snakerie long enough for Kouchu to grab the gold ball from Julia. She tries to escape, but Kouchu uses his quick thinking and his Crystal Monster’s strength to stop her.
Kouchu (grinning):
“Got it!”
Julia glares at Kouchu, realizing her plan has failed.
Julia (angry):
“This isn’t over, Kouchu! I’ll get the Crystal Balls for Hunter Grai one way or another!”
She disappears into the crowd, leaving Kouchu with the gold ball.
?
[Scene 6 – The Show’s Success]
With the gold ball returned, Kouchu heads back to the fairgrounds, where Shauna and Sakuro are finishing up their performance with Cale. The crowd is cheering, and Cale is overwhelmed with gratitude.
Cale (bowing to the brawlers):
“You did it! The show was a huge success! I couldn’t have done it without you all.”
Kouchu (smiling):
“It’s all about teamwork, right?”
Shauna (grinning):
“Exactly. And you did amazing, Cale!”
Sakuro (crossing his arms, but smiling):
“You were great, even if you were a bit nervous at first.”
Cale (laughing):
“Thanks! You all helped me believe in myself. I’m starting to think I could do this for a living!”
As the brawlers prepare to leave, Cale thanks them one more time, offering them a chance to join him in future performances. However, the brawlers politely decline, encouraging him to continue on his own path and find success in his own way.
Kouchu (grinning):
“You’ve got this. Just keep believing in yourself, and you’ll go far.”

[Scene 7 – A New Path Ahead]
With the mystery solved and the show a success, the brawlers continue on their journey, heading toward their next destination to collect the next medal. Kouchu reflects on the lessons learned—how confidence, teamwork, and determination can overcome any obstacle, no matter how big or small.
Kouchu (smiling to himself):
“We’ve got this. Let’s keep moving forward.”
The brawlers walk off into the distance, ready for whatever adventures await them next.
