The sun had just begun to dip below the horizon, casting a golden hue over the path that Kouchu, Shauna, Roaracryst, Sakuro, and their trusty Crystal Monsters had been traveling on. They had grown used to the challenges along the way, but this evening, there was an unexpected twist—an anonymous letter. The sealed envelope, bearing only the words “Meet me at Valley Corners”, had arrived early that morning, with no indication of who it was from.
Kouchu (holding the letter excitedly):
“Wow, a secret meeting? This is gonna be so cool! I wonder who it’s from!”
Shauna (squinting at the letter):
“It’s probably a trap, Kouchu. Be careful.”
But Kouchu, as always, was undeterred by Shauna’s caution. He folded the letter with enthusiasm.
Kouchu (grinning):
“A trap? Nah, it’s an adventure! Let’s go, team!”
And so, they set out for the mysterious Valley Corners.
?
Scene: Valley Corners - The Prank Begins
The group arrived at Valley Corners just as the moon rose high in the sky. The valley was serene, surrounded by towering cliffs and lush greenery. But something about the place felt… off. There was an eerie silence that hung in the air, broken only by the occasional rustle of leaves in the wind.
Sakuro (narrowing his eyes):
“This feels wrong. Something’s not right.”
Kouchu (excited):
“Come on, Sakuro! We’ve got a secret rendezvous to attend to! Let’s find the brawler!”
As the group ventured deeper into the valley, they came upon a large, dilapidated tower. It looked like an old, forgotten building, the perfect hideout for a mysterious brawler—or so Kouchu thought. The door creaked open on its own, and an ominous voice echoed from inside.
Voice (mocking):
“Welcome, Kouchu and friends. You’ve been expected.”
Kouchu (enthusiastically):
“Sweet! I knew it was gonna be an adventure!”
They entered, but the moment they did, the door slammed shut behind them with a loud bang. The group jumped in surprise, and a strange laugh echoed through the room.
Shauna (looking suspicious):
“This is starting to feel like a trap.”
Roaracryst (whining):
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
“Uh-oh… I don’t like this, Kouchu.”
Just then, the Menace Five—Julia, Kathern, Genuan, Hiyon, and Katie—popped out from behind the corners, grinning like mischievous children.
Julia (smirking):
“Well, well, well, look who decided to show up. The Brawler Squad, just in time to play our game.”
Kouchu (raising an eyebrow):
“You guys are the ones who sent the letter? We were expecting someone else!”
Kathern (snickering):
“We figured you’d fall for it. The real Brawler wasn’t going to show up. It was us all along! Ha!”
Genuan (pouting):
“I can’t believe you guys walked right into our trap. You’re just too easy.”
The Menace Five cackled amongst themselves, their usual chaotic energy filling the room. Kouchu stared at them blankly for a moment before turning to his friends.
Kouchu (shrugging):
“Well, I guess we’re here, so… might as well have some fun, right?”
?
Scene: The Negotiation (or Lack Thereof)
The Menace Five wasted no time with pleasantries. Julia, the ringleader, stepped forward, her hands on her hips as she sneered at the group.
Julia (demanding):
“Alright, Brawlers. We want the Crystal Balls. Hand them over.”
Kouchu (crossing his arms):
“Nope, not gonna happen.”
Hiyon (grinning wickedly):
“Oh, we’ll see about that. You see, we don’t take kindly to refusals.”
The group braced themselves, but before the Menace Five could make another move, Kouchu whispered to Shauna, who nodded in agreement.
Shauna (whispering):
“We’ve got this.”
In one swift motion, Kouchu pointed at Plantmore, who had been quietly observing the situation.
Kouchu (loudly):
“Plantmore, show them how to stretch those vines! Let’s grab those keys!”
Plantmore’s vines shot out like springs, stretching and reaching across the room toward the high shelf where the keys were kept. The vines snaked around, pulling the keys down, much to the Menace Five’s horror.
Katie (shocked):
“What the heck? That plant… is cheating!”
Roaracryst (grinning):
“It’s not cheating if you’re a genius, right?”
With the keys now in hand, the Brawlers made a break for it. But the Menace Five weren’t about to let them escape that easily.
Julia (fuming):
“Don’t let them get away! We have ways of stopping them!”
But Kouchu had a different plan. He turned to Ninecoat, who was standing by, looking rather bored.
Kouchu (grinning):
“Alright, Ninecoat. Time to light things up!”
Ninecoat, ever the opportunist, flared up in flames, his fire powers crackling with intensity. With a swift motion, he launched a fireball at one of the Menace Five’s towers, sending it up in flames.
Menace Five (panicking):
“WHAT THE—?! THE TOWER IS ON FIRE!!!”
Genuan (screaming):
“NO! PUT IT OUT, PUT IT OUT!”
Hiyon (frantically running in circles):
“WHY DID WE EVEN HAVE A FLAMMABLE TOWER?!”
As the Menace Five scrambled to put out the fire, Kouchu and his friends slipped past them, laughing at the chaos they had caused.
Kouchu (laughing):
“Don’t worry, guys! We’ll leave the fire-fighting to you!”
Sakuro (smirking):
“Maybe next time, the Menace Five will stop trying to prank us.”
Shauna (grinning):
“Yeah, it looks like we’ve been pranked… and won.”
?
Scene: Escape and Laughter
As the group made their way out of the tower and back to safety, the Menace Five could still be heard shouting in the distance.
Katie (frustrated):
“Why does everything we plan turn into a disaster?!”
Julia (groaning):
“We need better plans, and less… fire!”
The group couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity of it all, the tension easing from their shoulders. They had successfully escaped yet another sticky situation—and this time, with a little help from their fiery friend.
Kouchu (grinning widely):
“See, guys? No problem! Onward to Shuriken City!”
Shauna (chuckling):
“Yeah, let’s just hope we don’t get another ‘mysterious letter’ anytime soon.”
The group continued down the path, their laughter echoing in the cool night air, leaving the Menace Five to sort out their latest mess.
?
Narration:
Another day, another victory. But Kouchu and his team knew that the road ahead would only get more difficult. Whether it was facing the Menace Five’s pranks or real battles ahead, they would always stick together—because no matter how crazy things got, they were ready for whatever came their way.

End of Episode 7.
