Darren grimaced as he played faster and faster; the mushdrums were fairly fucking epic, and his hands were reduced to vague blurs as the forces of good and mushrooms fought to beat back the hellish tide. But in spite of their efforts, they were losing. The air grew hot and stifling, and as the mushgrass wilted and burned, Darren felt fear returning to him as he looked to his ally. The hellbeast and its minions were too strong, and even with the support of the Mushroomairies they would soon be overwhelmed. All would be lost, and the lands of shroom would be no more.<br/><br/><span style="font-size: 125%; line-height: 116%;"><span style="font-weight: bold">"FEAR NOT,"</span> </span>a thunderous voice bellowed from overhead, loud enough to send a tremor through the music itself.<span style="font-size: 125%; line-height: 116%;"><span style="font-weight: bold">"I HAVE COME." </span></span><br/><br/>Above them, lowering itself majestically through the sky, was him. It was the Fungal Lord himself.<br/><br/>His head was a mushroom, his left arm was a mushroom, his right arm was a mushroom, his torso was a mushroom, his legs were mushrooms, and his hands and feet were also mushrooms. Instead of hair, he also had thousands of elongated mushrooms adorning the top of his majestic figure.<br/><br/>He landed between Darren and Viktor, placing a mushroomy hand on their shoulders.<span style="font-size: 125%; line-height: 116%;"><span style="font-weight: bold">"YOU HAVE DONE WELL, MY CHAMPIONS, BUT THE TIME HAS COME… FOR ME TO ROCK THE <span style="font-style: italic">FUCK</span> OUT!"</span></span><br/><br/>A mushroom appeared in his hand, and then he was singing into it, his voice rising and falling with flawless clarity and control. Tears immediately leaked from Darren's eyes as the sound took hold of him and had sex with his very soul. The heat began to recede, and the draconic monster they face seemed suddenly unsure, finally wavering in light of the display.<br/><br/>The shroomsticks started moving again, almost without his aid. The music guided him, and Darren saw victory on the horizon.
