Line 1:

In hopes of finding some answers or some way out of ''[[Ink City]]'', [[Jimmy Two
So she informs others of her intent, and gathers a party of willing volunteers. At the appointed hour, most of them show up. As her closest friend, [[El Tigre|Dr. Chipotle Jr.]] naturally shows up, along with the ever-irritating [[Animaniacs
At first, the unlikely party makes good progress, hampered only by the usual personality clashes. Yakko banters playfully, getting on Heloise's nerves, while Mordecai decides to put his communicator's record feature to good use by filming everything.
Line 20:
Despite Eleanor's misgivings -- none of the others seem emotionally prepared to cope with Heloise's death -- they press forward, Audrey still crooning and leering behind them. Soon, just as he said, they reach the wall, and Yakko runs ahead, touching it.

With that, a pulsating ink blot appears behind the group. Introducing himself as the Mayor, he claims to be the one responsible for their being trapped in Ink City. And while he's been entertained by how poorly their trip's gone thus far, he's none too pleased with Yakko poking the [[Fourth Wall]]. So when Yakko does it ''again'', he causes their surroundings to ''shift'', growing FAR more foreboding... to say nothing of the swirling black abyss that yawns open beneath their feet.
Line 30:
Though Audrey II starts helping out, the numbers are simply too vast, and one by one the survivors start falling. When Veser falters, Audrey throws him right into the midst of a swarm... and Eleanor takes a gut shot while momentarily distracted. In the midst of all this, Yakko doesn't break. He ''[[Beware the Silly Ones|snaps]]''. Hely's hammer in hand, seventy years' worth of mallet gags take on deadly new meaning, while Megavolt stands above the fallen Eleanor.

When the fighting grinds to a halt, the two of them are the only ones still standing. Beaten, bruised, and bleeding ink, but alive. Though as it sinks in just what he's done, Yakko can't help wondering if it was even worth it. Megavolt's attempts to console him don't help much, either: as he points out, they have to be prepared for more things like this to happen in the future, as they'll surely have to deal with the Mayor again...
Line 44:
** Rigby's character is a [[Fridge Logic|cutie]]?
* [[Chainsaw Good]]: Benson's [[Weapon of Choice]] when Heloise offers armaments.
* [[Deal
* [[Does Not Understand Sarcasm]]:
{{quote|
* [[The Dog Bites Back]]
* [[Dwindling Party]]
* [[Entertainingly Wrong]]: Megavolt initially thinks the vines are just a sign his old pal/teammate Bushroot is skulking around the woods. This takes on a darker twist when Eleanor states that friend or not, they'll have to cut him down if he stands in their way... and Megs agrees.
* [[Everything's Worse
* [[Exact Words]]: The abyss that the Mayor claims will take them out? {{spoiler|He means 'out of the forest'. By killing them for a quick respawn in the Well.}}
* [[Fed to
* [[For Massive Damage]]: Megavolt exploits Audrey II holding onto Mordecai's machete by zapping it with as much electricity as he can muster. Unleashing this actually knocks him out for the rest of the confrontation.
* [[The Heartless]]: The ink monsters.
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Most of the group gets hit by this after Heloise is [[Eaten Alive]]. Eleanor points this out, but keeps it together herself... until she learns of Phoenix's fate.
* [[Hoist
* [[I Choose to Stay]]: Mordecai thought the Mayor's portal would take everyone back to their ''own'' worlds. When he finds out he used [[Exact Words]] instead, Audrey notices his shocked reaction and [[Armor-Piercing Question|asks why he didn't jump in if he thought that was the case]]. Mordecai doesn't answer.
* [[I Gave My Word]]: The reason Eleanor BSOD'd over Phoenix's death: she'd promised to protect him.
* [[Improvised Weapon]]: Benson brings several modified lawn tools along as potential weaponry.
* [[It's Quiet... Too Quiet]]: Said word for word by Yakko shortly after entering.
* [[Jerk
* [[Just Eat Him]]: Audrey seems more interested in getting the group to willingly offer one of their own to him than just gobbling up all comers. He ''does'', however, gleefully chomp Chipotle's guacamole monster.
* [[Just Shoot Him]]: Phoenix calls for this even before Audrey makes his offer.
* [[Kitchen Sink Included]]: When Heloise breaks out the weaponry, Yakko makes the familiar joke. No kitchen sink actually appears, however.
* [[Late to
* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]
* [[Not So Stoic]] [[Not So Above It All|Or Above It All]]: When everyone is in shock following Heloise's death, Eleanor bluntly states they should turn back since they're all too weak to face death. She also makes clear that she simply can't protect everyone; anyone unwilling to fight is just dragging the group down. Later, she suffers a fatal lapse in concentration upon realizing she couldn't protect Phoenix.
Line 74:
* [[Symbol Swearing]]: Benson starts doing this after Mordecai finishes what he started.
* [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch]]:
{{quote|
* [[Thirteen Is Unlucky]]: Heloise had thirteen volunteers for the party. Not everyone showed up to make the trip, however... and those were arguably the lucky ones.
* [[Throwing Your Sword Always Works]]: [[Zig
* [[Unsound Effect]]: [[Running Gag|camera camera camera]].
* [[Villainous Rescue]]: Audrey II helps fight the Mayor's hordes. Unfortunately, he also opts to get back at Veser during the battle...
