[Scene 1 – The Menace Five’s Frustration]
The episode opens with the Menace Five trudging through a vast stretch of road, clearly exhausted and complaining about their long journey. They’ve been walking for hours, and their feet are sore from their constant pursuit of the Crystal Balls. The group is disgruntled, and tempers are beginning to flare.
Julia (whining):
“Ugh, my feet are killing me! This is ridiculous! We should have gotten something to help us with all this walking!”
Kathern (irritated):
“I can’t take it anymore! My feet are bruised! We’ve been walking forever and it’s all because of those stupid brawlers!”
Julia stops and looks around, as if trying to think of a solution.
Julia (excitedly):
“I’ve got it! We’ll just build something to help us out! Fitness can only take us so far. It’s time for a mobile, a cool mobile to make the trip faster!”
The Menace Five immediately starts brainstorming and gathering supplies to build their own makeshift vehicle. They’re all excited about the idea, except for one member—

[Scene 2 – Hiyon’s Ambitious Plan]
Hiyon, who has a more serious and determined demeanor than the others, stands away from the group, working silently. He doesn’t seem interested in what the others are doing, but his mind is clearly on something else.
Hiyon (muttering to himself):
“If they want a mobile, I’ll show them what real speed looks like. They’ll see what happens when I build something.”
He begins working on his own vehicle—a sleek, high-tech flying mobile. His design is flawless, streamlined, and designed for speed. Meanwhile, the other members of the Menace Five are busy building a much less efficient, chaotic contraption that barely resembles a functioning vehicle.

[Scene 3 – The Menace Five’s Mobile Disaster]
The Menace Five unveils their makeshift mobile. It’s a clunky, oversized vehicle built out of random parts, including a giant rubber tire and a strange engine that makes a weird noise when started. They all climb into it with high hopes, but their excitement quickly turns to disappointment when it starts to sputter and lurch.

Julia (grinning):
“It’s working! I knew we could do it!”
Kathern (confused):
“It doesn’t look like it’s going to last long, though…”
Hiyon (scoffing from afar):
“That thing is a joke. Watch this.”
Hiyon’s mobile, on the other hand, smoothly lifts off the ground with no effort, zooming ahead at breakneck speed. He looks over his shoulder at the chaos behind him with a smug smile.
Hiyon (proudly):
“This is how it’s done. While you all struggle with your clunkers, I’ll be flying circles around you.”
However, things take a turn for the worse when the Menace Five’s mobile starts picking up speed uncontrollably, with Julia at the wheel, and crashes straight toward the Crystal Ball Building.
Julia (panicking):
“Guys! I can’t stop this thing! It’s out of control!”

[Scene 4 – The Fuel Crisis and Building Shutdown]
The Menace Five’s vehicle is on a collision course with the Crystal Ball Building. As it races toward the building, the fuel level begins to drop rapidly. In a panic, they try to stop the vehicle, but it’s too late. With a loud bang, they crash into the side of the building. However, the fuel completely runs out, and the entire mobile shuts down.
Kathern (frustrated):
“This is a disaster! We’ve wasted all that time on this piece of junk!”
Suddenly, the building’s lights flicker, and an alarm goes off. The entire Crystal Ball Building shuts down, as the system detects an “unauthorized” crash and security protocols are triggered.
Building Voice (robotic):
“Unauthorized access detected. Building shutdown initiated.”
Julia (exasperated):
“Are you serious? Now the building is offline?! This is the worst day ever!”
As the Menace Five scrambles to get back on track, they realize their vehicle is completely useless. But just then, a small spark of inspiration strikes Hiyon.

[Scene 5 – The Flying Motorcycles and Revenge]
With their mobile destroyed, the Menace Five is left with no choice but to upgrade their transportation. Hiyon, the only one who seems to have a clear mind about this, presents the flying motorcycles he secretly built—sleek, fast, and designed for aerial travel.
Hiyon (grinning):
“Why bother with clunky vehicles when you can have these?”
The rest of the Menace Five eagerly hops onto the flying motorcycles. Julia and Kathern, however, are still grumbling about their earlier mishaps.
Julia (sighing):
“Okay, fine. Let’s do this. I’m not going to let the brawlers get the better of us again!”
The Menace Five zoom off, their flying motorcycles leaving the crashed mobile and the now-shutdown building behind them. They have a new plan—nothing is going to stand in their way now.
Hiyon (seriously):
“We’ll catch up with them soon enough. They won’t know what hit them.”

[Scene 6 – Back to the Brawlers]
Meanwhile, the brawlers are continuing their journey toward Dark City, completely unaware of the Menace Five’s mishap. Kouchu, Shauna, and Sakuro are laughing and joking around as they walk down the road.
Kouchu (smiling):
“I wonder what the Menace Five is up to these days…”
Shauna (laughing):
“Probably still stuck in the middle of nowhere, trying to figure out how to keep up with us!”
Sakuro (grinning):
“I bet they’ve got their hands full with something. They’re never as smooth as they think they are.”
As they walk ahead, Kouchu suddenly looks up to see a blur streaking across the sky—the Menace Five’s flying motorcycles are in hot pursuit!
Kouchu (pointing upwards):
“Well, looks like we won’t have to wait long to find out.”
The brawlers brace themselves for whatever the Menace Five has in store next, knowing the rivalry is far from over.
