The Minister wonders if he has a reason for them to be there. After giving a death glare to Bowie and co., he says that they'll help him investigate the tower. Heading downstairs, Sir Astral admits what's about to happen.
|
|

I didn't want to
involve you, my kids...but
this might be a good
opportunity. It is a
practice for you
to serve the King.

Are you...going to possess
the king?
|
|
Final Script

I won't let you pass.
You will only bring
trouble to him!
|
|
Final Script
I won't let you pass.
You shall not harm the King!

The Gizmo responds by spewing out six weaker Gizmos. Good job, Astral.
|
|
April Script
Huh! Huh!
We'll stop Evil Gizmo here.
<Hero>, defeat these
Gizmos!
