[Scene 1 – The Marukas’ Sleeping Dilemma]
The episode opens with the Marukas—Maruka 1, Maruka 2, and the rest of the group—gathered in a shared bedroom. The room is cramped, and the Marukas are visibly uncomfortable as they try to get some sleep after a long day of plotting. Some are tossing and turning, while others are grumbling.
Maruka 1 (yawning, looking at Maruka 2):
“I can’t take it anymore. I need my own space!”
Maruka 2 (grumbling):
“Same here. This room’s too small for all of us. I can barely sleep with everyone snoring.”
Maruka 3 (sniffing):
“And I can’t stand Maruka 5’s perfume. It’s too strong!”
Maruka 4 (annoyed):
“This is ridiculous. I’m done with this. I want my own room!”
The Marukas start arguing about their living arrangements, and it becomes clear that they’re all frustrated with the situation. After a few more complaints and a heated discussion, they finally come to a decision.
Maruka 1 (smirking):
“Alright, fine. If we can’t share a room, let’s get separate rooms. I’ll rent an apartment on my own!”
Maruka 2 (nodding):
“I’ll join you, Maruka 1. This whole sharing thing is overrated.”
Maruka 3 (thinking):
“I’ll stay here a bit longer, but I want my own lair soon. We need our own space.”

[Scene 2 – The Marukas Build Their Own Lair]
In the next few days, the Marukas work tirelessly to build their own lair, separate from Marcy’s headquarters. They seem to be enjoying the process, each taking on different tasks to construct their personal hideout. They fashion a large diamond cannon as part of their lair’s centerpiece, intending to use it as a weapon against the Crystal Brawlers.
Maruka 1 (proudly surveying the lair):
Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website.
“Perfect! Our very own space. No more sharing with Marcy. We’ll show the Crystal Brawlers who’s in charge now.”
Maruka 2 (grinning):
“This cannon will be unstoppable! Let’s just hope the Brawlers come this way so we can test it.”
They fire the cannon once to make sure it’s functioning properly, and it shoots a massive blast toward the distance, creating a small explosion that shakes the ground.
Maruka 3 (giggling):
“This is going to be fun.”

[Scene 3 – The Crystal Brawlers’ Journey]
Meanwhile, the Crystal Brawlers are traveling through the wilderness, unaware of the Marukas’ new lair or their plans. They are focused on their journey to find the fourth medal, but things take an unexpected turn when Kouchu notices something strange in the sky.
Kouchu (looking up):
“Do you see that? Something doesn’t feel right.”
Shauna (looking concerned):
“Is it the Menace Five again?”
Sakuro (frowning):
“I don’t think so. It looks more like… a cannon.”
The group approaches the area where the cannon is aimed, and Roaracryst senses something dangerous coming their way.
Roaracryst (growling):
“Warning… something’s about to happen!”
Just as they get closer, the Marukas launch the giant cannon, aiming directly at the brawlers. The blast rockets toward them with incredible force. However, Roaracryst is quick to react.
Kouchu (shouting):
“Roaracryst, look out!”
Roaracryst (determined):
“I’ll take care of this!”

[Scene 4 – Roaracryst’s Transformation and Counterattack]
Roaracryst, determined not to let the cannonball hit them, transforms once again, his power surging as his form changes into something more powerful. The cannonball heads straight toward them, but Roaracryst flies into the air, meeting the blast head-on.
Roaracryst (roaring):
“Time to send this back!”
Roaracryst uses all of his strength to push the cannonball back toward the Marukas’ lair. It flies through the air, smashing into the Marukas’ lab with a huge explosion, sending the cannon flying back toward them.
Maruka 1 (panicking):
“NO! Not the cannon!”
Maruka 2 (frantically pressing buttons):
“We need more upgrades! This cannon wasn’t ready!”
Maruka 3 (hiding behind the walls):
“Why didn’t we build something better?!”
?
[Scene 5 – The Marukas’ Failed Experiment]
After the cannon is sent flying back toward the Marukas, the lair becomes a chaotic mess. The Marukas scramble to make last-minute adjustments, adding more upgrades to their cannon to stabilize it, but they are too late. The cannon falls apart, crashing down onto their lair and knocking them out.
Maruka 1 (groaning):
“We need to stop underestimating the Crystal Brawlers.”
Maruka 2 (sighing):
“We’ve failed… again.”
Maruka 3 (sitting up):
“I think it’s safe to say that we’re no match for Roaracryst. Maybe we need a new plan.”
The Marukas’ plans come to a crashing halt as their own cannon ends up causing them more trouble than it’s worth. With the lair in ruins and their weapons destroyed, they retreat to rebuild, plotting their next move.
?
[Scene 6 – The Crystal Brawlers’ Victory]
The brawlers, having narrowly escaped the cannon’s blast, breathe a sigh of relief. Roaracryst lands back beside them, looking pleased with his victory.
Kouchu (smiling):
“Well, that was one way to stop them.”
Shauna (laughing):
“Guess they’re not so good at building things.”
Sakuro (nodding):
“Let’s just hope they don’t try that again.”
The brawlers continue on their journey, leaving the Marukas behind to pick up the pieces of their failed experiment.
