“Booyah,” Hanazuki said, snapping her fingers together with the flick of her wrist.

“SHU GRAH,” Red shouted, snapping his ears together with the flick of his neck.

Dazzlessence put his diamond shoulder right up to Basal’s cerebellum. “Now spill where Tenders is, or I’ll really go diamond in the rough on you!”

“YOU HEAR THAT, YOU HORRIBLE SACK OF NEURONS?” Hanazuki shouted at Basal, her bracelet pulsing red, too. Red Hemka was excitedly gripping her neck, which was more than unpleasant, so she tossed him in the air. He morphed into a devil, then landed in her arms as his squishy self. Hanazuki didn’t want Red in her arms, so she tossed him again. He morphed into a devil again. They did this on repeat—toss, devil, normal—until Red decided to shake things up and poke Basal with his ears.

“I wish you would stop, tomato bunny.”

“Red, please,” Hanazuki said, peeling him off of Basal. “I’m trying to do something here.”

“Thank you,” Basal said.

“I didn’t stop Red for YOU!” Hanazuki shouted. “You are the EVILEST BRAIN in the MOONIVERSE! If you don’t tell us where Tenders is RIGHT NOW, I’m going to tell the brains on all the other moons just how EVIL you are through ECNYWYWAPO, which stands for—”

“Elite Cerebral Network You Wish You Were a Part Of.”

“That’s right, Mister! BOOM!” Hanazuki was feeling so unstoppable, she bent her knees and hopped from foot to foot like a professional boxer. Ooh baby, was she strong! Ooh baby, was she powerful! Ooh baby, was she feisty! Blowing off steam felt amazing!

That is, until Basal Ganglia burst into giggles. “MWAH HA HEE HA HA HA HEE!” Then, all her strong, powerful, feisty feelings got sucked right out of her. “Um, what’s so funny?” she asked self-consciously.

“First of all, you’re out of cronuts!” He giggled some more, his pitch climbing. “Second of all, you think Chicken Brain and all the other brains think I’m NICE? Well, nice brains finish LAST! Go ahead. Go on the Elite Cerebral Network You Wish You Were a Part Of. And if you have any trouble connecting—the cable guy keeps changing the password—then write a letter. We’ll photocopy it, and Little Dreamer will deliver it around the galaxy to all the brains. Ask that unicorn friend of yours. He knows what’s up. Alert the presses: I’M NASTY! MWAH HA HA HO HA HO HA!”

Chicken Brain? Hanazuki wondered, chills crawling up her neck. A letter?

Hanazuki and Dazzlessence looked at each other. This mission was far from over. Next stop: Sleepy Unicorn.
