They find a man looking at himself in the mirror in Zappa's House.] Mysterious Swordsman: Swordsmanship
is as beautiful as a rose. The rouge ambition hidden beneath its beauty... Ahh, these words fit moi perfectly... Oh, pardon
me monsieur. Moi forgot to introduce myself. Mon name is Pierre. I am renting this room from Monsieur Zappa. I am on my way
to see this General Viper soon. From what I hear, there is a vacancy among the 4 Devas of the Acacia Dragoons. Such a position
is perfect for such a splendid swordsman as moi... One graceful flash of mon sword will surely have them saluting moi as the
guest of honor... But I have lost mon precious medal, symbol of heroism... Without it, I will certainly be turned away at
the gate. Sacre bleu! What am I to do? [Outside...] Boy: I just found something super! Tadaa!!! It's cool, ain't it? A shiny
medal on my chest! It fits me perfectly! Leena: I know someone who's looking for that... Boy: Well... I'd be a thief if I
didn't return lost items... And I want to be a hero, not a thief! OK, here you go! [They see Pierre.] Pierre: Oui, monsieur!
That is my medal! Merci, merci, thank you!!! Ahh la lah, what a darling you are! Now I can finally head to Viper Manor! I
insist you take moi when you call at the gates of Viper Manor. Alone, of course, moi would have no problems, but you could
also be useful... After all, thorns like you are necessary to add charm to a rose... Now, come with moi! (Serge): OK, let's
go. [Pierre joins.] Pierre: Now, follow my lead to Viper Manor, mon faithful followers! [They go to Viper Manor.] Pierre:
Yoo-hoo, there! Monsieur soldier-man! Moi have come here to do you a favor and join the Dragoons. Open the gates, mon frere.
Ta-ta-tah! Dragoon: We don't need any street performers. Dragoon2: Now go on home. Get! Pierre: Non, non, non... Moi am a
hero... Ahh la lah... They said, non. Even mon hero's medal didn't work. Ahh la lah...? What should we do? We can't just barge
in... (Serge): Charge! Kid: Hell yeah! C'mon! Pierre: A-Are you serious...? Kid: Oi! Open up and let us through! Dragoon:
You asked for it! Dragoon2: Don't mess with the Acacia Dragoons! Both: C'mon! [They are defeated.] [They head inside and see
Solt and Peppor.] Solt: What is it? Is there something wrongly wrong, Peppor? Peppor: S-Someone shook the gate open. Solt:
You are...!? Peppor: Serge! Solt: You cannot seriously be serious about coming through
the front gate!? Peppor: W-We're gonna shake it to you good and get our revenge! [They battle.] Peppor: The nerve of these
guys! Thinking they can storm our front gate! This time we ought to give them the shaking they deserve! Solt: I agreeingly
agree! Peppor: Today we brought along a helping hand! He's tough! He's mean! And he's really, really big, too! Show them what
you can do!!! ...... I said show them what you can do! ...... Yoo~hoo~! Oh, Ketcho~p! Come out, come out, wherever you are!
[A large man appears.] Ketchop: T-T-T-TOOOMMAAAATTTOOOO!!! [He kills Serge.] Peppor: Ooooohhh! You see...!? My, my! Aren't
we stong now!? This time we're gonna beat you for sure!!! Solt: What a manly man! Ketchop: S-S-S-SSAAAAUUUUCCCEE! (He seems
happy... perhaps?) Peppor: Yes, that's the spirit! Show us what you can do! Solt: Go! Go! Ketchop!!! Try out your special
Karate-Ket-Chop on them! Ketchop: T-T-TOOOMMMAAATTTOOO!!! (He seems pumped... perhaps?) [Solt heals Serge.] Peppor: Hey! What
the hell are you doing? What did you heal them for? SOlt: Well... I thought that we all wouldn't get to see how fiercely fierce
Ketchop is if they were left exhausted like that! Peppor: ......... Have you got your priorities straight!? Doesn't that defeat
our whole purpose!? Do it again, and you're shaken dead meat, Solt! Ketchop: S-S-SSSAAAUUCCCE! (He seems angry... perhaps?)
[Later in the battle...] Peppor: This doesn't look good! We could be shaken here...! Hey Ketchop! Why don't you shaking-well
do something? Ketchop: T-T-TTOOMMAATTOO!!! Peppor: Huh??? Wwaaaahh!!! What are you doing!? [He kills Solt and Peppor.] [After
battle.] Pierre: Escuse Moi, but shouldn't we wait till nightfall? Kid: Oi, I suppose so...
