Part 134: Ep. 98: Well, This Seems... Bad
Hold onto the nearest butt, folks, it's a double update!
: ...---
Our heroes: in trouble.
Morcubus glances at Esma.
: Esma, collect my Crown, please.
This time, Sam is on the other end of the ol' Gimme That/No Way dance.
And he's in no position to argue. Apparently.
Morcubus ducks his head, and--
Having now won, Morcubus laughs evilly, as he is wont to do. Evil Laugh count: 1.
: How did you find us, Morcubus?!
GASP
: What?! That's not true!: Oh, my naive little girl... all those hours spent studying your father's journal... all those little clues you dug up...
AUUUUUGH
: You don't mean--: Yes, we've been following you all along.Dramatic musical sting!
: I'll admit it, you were doing a better job tracking down the Nightmare Crown than we were! Finally, we decided it would be easier just to let you do the work.
Morcubus points at Sam and... well, he giggles. But it's an malicious giggle, so: Evil Laugh Count: 2.
Fun fact: since Yuki does not show up in this scene, for all we know we did strand her out at sea in her mini-sub. That or Morcubus really is Yuki in drag, as some posters have theorized.
Sam turns to Evelyn.
: There was no way we could have known, Evelyn. Don't be so hard on yourself.Mike dashes over to his daughter.
He wheels.
: Morcubus! You cad! How dare you drag my daughter into this!Morcubus does a double-take, then beams.
: Oh my goodness. Michael?! Is that you? The years have not been kind, old friend.: Give me the Crown, Morcubus.Morcubus does a gleeful little dance, unable to contain himself.
Evil Laugh count: 3.
: I never wanted the Crown, I just wanted to find my father.
The Morcugirls scoot back to give Morcubus some room, and--after Evil Laugh #4--
--Morcubus activates the Crown of Nightmares.
I'm going to count that as Evil Laugh #5.
: Evelyn! What are you doing?!
Oh no.

Video: Morcuconfrontation
Definitely worth watching, if only because Morcubus and his voice actor are both having such a good time. "Bleh bleh bleh!"
