Chapter 3 - mind control-the twin Clown monsters

Omni Verse – Episode 3

Scene 1

After defeating the three Crodus, the heroes fainted due to severe injuries. Just then, a robot appeared. Pugo saw the robot, and after seeing it, he woke up in a hospital, covered in bandages and casts. Suddenly, he stood up from the hospital bed. The nurse tried to make him lie down again, but Pugo looked around, confused.

Pugo: Where am I? What's happening?

Nurse: Calm down. You're in the hospital. A girl who saw your injuries brought you here.

Pugo: I see… And Leonardos and Stardust? Did the monster die? Did we win?

Mariana suddenly enters the room.

Mariana: Yes, you won. The monster is dead.

Shocked, Pugo says:

Pugo: Ms. Mariana…

Mariana: I don't know how you did it, but well done! You've defeated your first monster.

Pugo: I didn't see anything myself. The last thing I remember was my grandfather teaching me a technique. Then the monster froze, and I don't remember anything after that.

Mariana: Frozen, huh? So you used the technique I read about—the time technique, the one that stops time, right?

Pugo: Yes, that's it. My body went tingling, my sword suddenly became heavy and glowed, and I released the sword's energy at the monster.

Mariana: So it was by chance… Anyway, focus on your recovery. You and your friends must prepare for the second training—Control.

Pugo: Control? What does that mean?

Mariana: You'll understand when the training begins.

Mariana leaves. Pugo thinks for a moment, slowly stands up, and heads toward Leonardos and Stardust's room. The nurse warns him, but he ignores her. Entering the room, Stardust screams comically.

Stardust: Aaaah! My body is covered in all these fluids! It feels terrible!

Leonardos hits Stardust lightly in a funny way and says:

Leonardos: What are you crying for? Are you a baby? Keep quiet, I can't stand hearing you!

Pugo suddenly enters. Leonardos and Stardust are happy to see him.

Leonardos & Stardust: Pugo!

Stardust: Finally, you woke up! We thought you were dead!

Leonardos (shouting at Stardust): Make sure your mouth knows what your ears hear, you silly kid!

Pugo: You guys are okay too. Do you remember what happened during the fight?

Leonardos: I don't… I only remember seeing our three swords.

Stardust: I saw the moment the monster split in two, then I fainted.

Pugo: I saw when I froze it.

Leonardos: Let's piece it together: First, Pugo froze the monster, then I combined our swords and struck its chest, and finally Stardust split it in two.

Stardust: Makes sense… Anyway, let's rest, recover, and then start training.

Pugo: I know the name of the training.

Leonardos: Tell us then.

Pugo: The training is called Control.

Stardust: Sounds weird… but why not?

Leonardos: Let's try it and see its purpose.

Pugo: But first, let's recover.

Stardust, Leonardos & Pugo: Yes, then let's begin.

Scene 2

Five days later, the three heroes fully recover and head out for training.

Stardust: Ugh, why do we have to recover? I was enjoying resting.

Pugo: I think we've rested enough.

Leonardos: Now it's time for action.

Mariana greets them again.

Mariana: Welcome back! I see you're healed.

Pugo: Yes… Show us the training location.

Mariana: Follow me, if you're ready.

Leonardos: Let's see what "Control" really is.

Stardust: And what it's supposed to do…

They enter the training area. There are no warrior robots this time.

Leonardos: Hmm… Weren't there usually robots here?

Mariana (wisely): No. The goal is to guide your minds.

Stardust: Guide our minds? Like telling us directions?

Leonardos: No, silly. Use your brain. You, don't even try.

Stardust looks at Leonardos strangely.

Pugo: Could you explain the training, Ms. Mariana?

Mariana: Imagine an enemy in front of you and fight it using your mind.

Stardust: How do we do that?

Mariana: Pretend you're using your techniques—then training two begins.

They start training, all in meditation positions.

Leonardos' Training

Leonardos imagines himself in a dark empty forest, as a samurai, happily walking. Suddenly, a giant monster appears.

Leonardos (thinking): Heh, this monster is no match for me. I am Flame Samurai Leonardos!

The monster roars. Leonardos shouts:

Leonardos: Do you think a roar can scare me? Bring it on!

He uses a technique:

Leonardos: Flame Technique: Flame Slash!

Flames burst from his sword, cutting and burning the monster simultaneously. The monster is destroyed.

Leonardos: Told you—don't mess with me, I'm Flame Samurai Leonardos!

Leonardos opens his eyes, smiling.

Leonardos: I did it! I controlled my mind and defeated the monster in my imagination.

Mariana: Well done! Now it's your turn, Stardust and Pugo.

Stardust's Training

Stardust imagines himself above clouds, acting as a king with servants attending him.

Servant: Master Stardust, what shall we do?

Stardust: Build my statue here.

He gets carried away, playing and enjoying his fantasy. Suddenly, an eight-eyed monster appears.

Stardust: Wait, I'm in a dream! I can become a samurai!

His appearance and outfit change, his sword glows.

Stardust: Alright, now I'll kill you!

Monster: Huh?

Stardust: Star Technique: Star Rain!

Stars explode over the monster. It cannot fight back and is defeated. Stardust saves his village. A princess appears, enchanted.

Princess: Thank you, Mr. Stardust! You're a true prince!

Stardust: No need to thank me, it's my duty as a king.

Princess: I'll give you a kiss as gratitude.

Just before she kisses him, Leonardos breaks the illusion and slaps Stardust comically.

Stardust: Ah! What are you doing, Leonardos!?

Leonardos: You extended your cheek to me!

Stardust: Sorry, I got carried away.

Mariana: Despite the weird dream, well done! Now it's your turn, Pugo.

Pugo's Training

Pugo imagines himself as a humble mechanic in a small village. A client arrives.

Client: Mr. Pugo, you're the best mechanic here. Fix my car—I'll pay 500 gold.

Pugo: Don't worry, sir. I'll fix it perfectly.

He struggles but finally repairs it. He buys food, helps the needy, and keeps some for himself. Suddenly, a giant monster appears.

Pugo: What do you want?

Monster: To kill you and destroy the village.

Pugo: Then try.

After struggling, Pugo learns Control, sees his samurai form, and uses techniques:

Pugo: Time Technique: Stop Time!

Then he uses:

Pugo: Energy Technique: Energy Bomb!

The monster is defeated. Pugo wins and wakes up.

Pugo: I did it… I learned it.

Mariana: Great! Training 2 is complete. Come tomorrow for Training 3.

Pugo: Thank you, Ms. Mariana. We learned to control our power thanks to you.

Mariana: You're welcome. I'll see you tomorrow.

Scene 3

Journey Continues

Stardust: Last time we went through the forest and faced Crodus. Let's try the other side this time.

Pugo: You're right.

Leonardos: Fine by me.

As they walk silently through the forest, a clown balloon appears.

Leonardos: What's this balloon doing here?

Stardust: Feels unsafe…

Pugo: That balloon… reminds me of clowns.

Two clown twins appear: Jojo (thin) and Lou (fat and muscular).

Pugo: Who are you?

Jojo steps forward to introduce himself but trips comically on Lou's costume. Leonardos, Pugo, and Stardust watch in shock and amusement.

Jojo: You idiot! They're laughing at me because of you!

Lou: Sorry, bro. But soon, when you see our power, you'll apologize.

Jojo: Anyway, I'm Jojo. This is my brother Lou. We're the clown twin monsters. You'll see your last faces.

Leonardos: Silly like you? I doubt it.

Lou: You'll see soon—we'll tear you apart!

Stardust (whispering to Pugo): Hey, these guys are even sillier than me.

Pugo: Wait, you're silly?

Stardust: No… wrong answer.

Jojo: Let's fight! Come here!

Jojo attacks Leonardos, who strikes him with his sword, sending him flying comically. Lou attacks Pugo and Stardust with a giant clown hammer, creating waves, but they dodge.

Pugo: These guys are tough… It's going to be a tough fight.

Who will win?
