"Shit, shit, shit. What do I do? I need to get back in there." Gripping the straps of her bag, a glowing hum emits from it. "Huh? Nomicon!"

She looks around before hiding behind some thick shrubbery and pulls out the book. Entering the Nomicon realm, she feels the wind against her face as she falling down. Passing by different kinds of masks she recognises back in Japan, until she stopped in front of a geisha mask, 

"Beware the enemy who wears a hero's mask."

"You mean the robots? Cuz I was about to get on with it until you called me in here." Sparing no time, she was pushed into the open mouth of the mask and got sucked back out to the real world.

She hides the book back into her bag and hiding it in the bush. "Alright, let's go kill some robots." She puts the fox mask on.

"Smokebomb!"

Both Ninja and Yokai appeared, their backs facing eachother. "Don't worry Mr. McFist, the real heroes are here to save you!" They both pulled out their respective weapons.

They realized the room is quiet, Yokai calls out, confused. "Uh... hello?"

"Mr. McFist? Robo-heroes? Anybody?" No one answered him, it was just an empty room with the other Norisvillian animatronics. "Where'd they go?"

"Beats me." Yokai looks at her partner with a shrug.

Suddenly, the entrance slams shut and green lasers surrounds them. It lines up upon each pillar in the of the room and forms a cage all the way from the floor to ceiling. 

"Whaaat's going on." Yokai held her guard up with her umbrella out.

"That can't be good."

"It worked. They've been duped. We pulled off a dupe!" McFist cheers as he's back in the control room with Viceroy and Laurance.

"Almost like it was planned." Viceroy states sarcastically.

An object came darting over to the two heroes, Yokai is quick enough to dodge it as she ducked down and it flew over her. Ninja was not so lucky as it hit him straight in the head, sending him flying to the concrete pedestal. 

"What the juice?" He stands up to realize that the pedestal was empty, no statue standing there. He turns over to see the animatronic of Johnny Bueno up and moving. 

"Johnny Bueno?" It's eyes turns red and shoots the flying football with rotating blades at him again. Yokai runs up in front of him to block it with her umbrella shield, but it only bounced off of it and targets the Ninja again. 

Ninja jumps around each pillar while dodging the football and eventually finds an opportunity to slice it in half, the remnants of the football flew behind him into the lasers. He turns back to face Johnny Bueno. "Alright Bueno, let's do this." 

Yokai was just about to go help him but a loud screeching caught her off guard. She let's out a cry of pain.

"Yoyo!" He luckily caught her from hitting the lasers, tugging her over with his scarf into his arms.

They both see that Monica Mo's animatronic also came to life to attack them. "Monica Mo? But you're Norisville's sweetheart."

"Eyes can be deceived, Ninja. Sometimes you can't trust a pretty face." Yokai shakes her head.
