And then that all happened...
A partnership to change the park's theme into one that revolves around these characters, huh...?
It has happened with other parks too, but to just scrap every ride or attraction that's gonna feel out of place...
And they're about to finalize their agreement. I didn't realize it was already this far along...
I'm sorry for not telling you all sooner...
I didn't want this to get in the way of trying to win the Show Contest...
I would've felt awful if it made everyone sad and... I couldn't bear doing that to you...
Emu, you dummy. You know that never would've happened...!
Exactly!! It's going to take more than that to wipe the smile off my face!!
How loud was that, Robo-Nene?
95 dB. About the same as a dog barking...
Since when can you measure something like that?!
Anyways, he feels the same way, so you don't have to worry about us.
Honestly, we want to help you and would really rather have you just tell us.
Indeed. If it weren't for you, Emu, none of us would be here today.
Let us return the favor in what way we can.
Precisely!! Now, let us begin planning how to overcome this issue!
Hmm... Partnering with another company...
Just what exactly can we do at this point? We could start a petition and collect signatures from people who really love PXL... Maybe?
But these aren't political entities we're dealing with here. They have no obligation to recognize any such protests.
This park may very well be struggling financially, but it would be all for naught if the park ended up folding by operating the way it has been...
So we need a way to make sure Phoenix Wonderland can stay afloat while maintaining its current image...?
Unfortunately, the plan Emu's brothers have been working on is a good, practical solution.
Licensing fees aside, the name recognition of the characters alone would let them break even and help distinguish itself from other parks.
If we're to foil such a big plan, we'll need something to match it...
It just seems so hard...
No! There's nothing hard about this whatsoever!
Regardless of operations and visitor totals, everyone that comes here wants to smile!
Which means there has to be a way for us to reach thousands of people all at once and make them smile!!
Tsukasa...
Hehe. I know you're just running your mouth off, but I figured you'd say something like that.
But as long as we're together...
It may not actually be that difficult.
Huh?
Really?!
Yes. It may be a simple matter.
We just need to put on a show unlike any we've ever done.
Unlike any we've ever done...?
Hehe. It's still in its infancy, but I believe it's a good plan.
You always speak in riddles at times like this...
All but it's all part of the act and attracting more visitors.
Fine, so be it. Whenever you get that look on your face, we end up putting on a good show so...
Oh, have you finally learned to put some stock into my ideas?
<Hah hah hah.>
<Heh heh heh.>
*Sigh*... They came up with another stupid plan. I'm sure of it...
But they do usually get things done when it matters.
Yup...!
(Everyone's being so awesome...!)
(I couldn't do or come up with anything on my own...)
(But it feels like we can do anything when we're all together.)
Hehehe...
What's up?
Nothing... I just feel all warm and fuzzy inside!
Warm and fuzzy?
Yeah! Before I talked to you, my heart felt like it was sinking so much, but now I feel all warm and fuzzy...!
I can't really explain it but...!
Hehe. I definitely understood that...
Really?
Yes. Really.
Now! Let's all get up on the stage!
Huh? Why?
To get ourselves motivated!
We're gonna need to move as a cohesive unit! We'll start by shouting our battle cry!
A battle cry?
So something along the lines of wonderhoy?
Oh! I wanna try!
Alright, I'll start...!
Huh? Emu, wait! The troupe leader should be...!
One, two...!
Everyone, wonderhoy!
<Wonderhoy!>
Wonderhoy!
W-Wonderhoy!
Why did you take the lead...?!
Who cares as long as it works in the end?
Right. And it does feel like it worked in some way.
What do you mean in some way?!
102 dB. The sound of a train on an overpass.
Stop measuring me!!
Ah, good. It's working just fine.
So, Rui. What's this plan of yours anyways?
Oh, but it's far too soon to tell. It wouldn't be very interesting if I just told everyone now.
But I suppose a hint may be in order... How about Everything is a show?
We'll have to put everything we can into our next show, and I'll be counting on all of the help you can give me.
I see. So our next show is going to be a spectacle like no other...
Then let us get started on our preparations!
Wonderlands×Showtime will unite as one to overcome this massive hurdle!!
Yeah!!
