Back at the X-Naut's Base...

Grodus: Are you sure about this? Speak up, X-Naut!

The X-Naut Scientist gulped.

X-Naut Scientist: Yes, sir, quite sure. I pored over all our research of the Thousand-Year Door... ...And it appears the sealing power has definitely been weakening, as Beldam said.

Grodus: Finally, the treasure of legend... The ancient power of darkness will soon be ours! Listen, and listen well! Keep giving the Crystal Star search top priority! Of course, that also includes the elimination of (Y/N)! That meddling scum...

X-Naut Scientist: Got it Sir!

He then leaves.

Grodus: Soon I will have the power that has slept for a millennium... So very soon! And when that glorious day dawns, I'll throw the world into the depths of terror! No one can stop me now. All will kneel before the X-Naut regime! And then I, Grodus, will build a new world! A perfect, ideal world... Yes. A world made by me, about me, and for me! GAAACK ACK ACK ACK ACK!

On the other hand...

Peach returns to talk to TEC.

Peach: TEC? Did you call me?

He doesn't answer.

Peach: What shall I do today? Will it be dancing, perhaps? Disguising? Or will I sing a song or something?

TEC: I ... am conflicted.

Peach: Huh? You don't seem like yourself TEC.

TEC: Which is more important? Carrying out an order or protecting a critical person? I exist for the purpose of a certain person. I wish to exist for the purpose of another... I do not know what to do... Really.

Peach: What do you mean?

TEC: No... No, never mind. Please forget my musings. I do not know why...but it makes me feel unpleasant if I make you worry. Well, in any case... Let's have a quiz.

Peach: A quiz?!

TEC: That's right, Princess Peach. Please answer the questions that I am about to ask you. If you can answer five questions, you may use the communicator as usual.

Peach felt it unusual, but went along with it!

Question 1: What happens when all 7 Crystal Stars are gathered?

Peach answered that the Thousand Year Door opens.

TEC: Correct. Question 2.

Question 2: What is the goal of X-Naut Leader, Grodus?

Peach answered that Grodus wants to conquer the world.

TEC: Correct. Question 3.

Question 3: What is the legendary that waits behind the Thousand Year Door?

Peach: TEC! Are you-

TEC: Please Princess Peach, just answer the question.

From the options, Peach chooses, The Soul of a 1000 Year Old Demon.

TEC: Correct. Question 4.

Question 4: What does Sir Grodus wish to do with this ancient demon's soul?

Peach answers that Grodus wants to resurrect the demon.
