[Scene 1 – A Quiet Start]

  The brawlers are walking along Path 6, chatting casually as usual. However, something feels off. There’s an odd stillness in the air, as if the world has become strangely quiet.

  Shauna (confused, looking around):

  “Hey, does anyone else feel like something’s missing?”

  Sakuro (nodding, looking up):

  “It’s… too quiet. I haven’t heard a single bird chirp or a leaf rustling.”

  Kouchu stops in his tracks, his eyes widening in realization.

  Kouchu (shocked):

  “Wait a second… I can’t even hear myself!”

  Suddenly, a loud crash is heard in the distance, but no sound comes out. The brawlers look at each other, all equally baffled.

  Shauna (frantically waving her hands in front of her face):

  “HELLO?! HELLO?! WHY CAN’T I HEAR MYSELF?!”

  Sakuro (motioning to the surroundings):

  “Something’s definitely wrong here.”

  Kouchu looks over to Roaracryst, who lets out a low growl, but no sound is heard.

  Kouchu (exasperated):

  “This is a nightmare! It’s like the whole world has gone mute!”

  ?

  [Scene 2 – Shari’s Invention]

  The brawlers hurry to find a solution. They stumble upon Shari, who’s tinkering with an odd contraption near a large pile of mechanical parts.

  Shari (grinning at the brawlers):

  “Ah, perfect timing! I’ve just finished my newest invention. This will allow us to travel through dimensions and… oh. Wait. You guys don’t hear anything, do you?”

  Shauna (nodding):

  “We can’t hear a thing. The entire world is silent. Can you help us fix it?”

  Shari rubs her chin thoughtfully and then suddenly brightens up.

  Shari (excitedly):

  “I think I can! I built this to solve a whole different problem, but it should work! I can create a portal to the Inner Dimension, where we can reverse whatever caused the sound to disappear.”

  Kouchu looks skeptical.

  Kouchu (raising an eyebrow):

  “Is it safe?”

  Shari (waving her hand dismissively):

  “Of course! Well… mostly. But we’re out of options, aren’t we?”

  ?

  [Scene 3 – The Inner Dimension]

  This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

  The brawlers step through Shari’s portal, entering a strange, vibrant dimension. Everything here seems distorted, with swirling colors and shapes that defy logic. They walk forward, trying to make sense of their surroundings, but everything remains eerily quiet.

  Shauna (whispering):

  “It’s so… silent…”

  Kouchu suddenly freezes, his eyes narrowing.

  Kouchu (suspecting):

  “Wait a minute… I think I know who’s behind this. The Marukas!”

  ?

  [Scene 4 – Confronting the Marukas]

  The brawlers find themselves in front of the Marukas, who are causing the chaos with their own sound-link device. The device is connected to glowing balls, each one vibrating with energy. However, instead of producing sound, the device has caused the entire world to fall into silence.

  Kouchu (pointing at them):

  “Marukas! I knew it was you! You’ve messed up everything with your sound link device!”

  Maruka Leader (grinning mischievously):

  “Well, well. It seems you’ve figured it out. But there’s nothing you can do. The sound is lost forever now. Mwahahaha!”

  The brawlers look at each other, frustrated and unsure of what to do.

  Shauna (angry, but unable to yell):

  “We can’t even yell at you! This is ridiculous!”

  Sakuro (gritting his teeth):

  “I hate it when they mess with the basics of the world. We need to fix this.”

  Maruka Leader (smirking):

  “You have no choice but to work with us now. Even if you tried, the sound would never return unless we allow it.”

  Kouchu thinks for a moment, then looks determined.

  Kouchu (stepping forward):

  “Fine, we’ll work together. But we’re doing this because it’s the right thing to do, not because we want to!”

  ?

  [Scene 5 – Working Together]

  In an unexpected turn of events, the brawlers and the Marukas are forced to cooperate to fix the problem. The Marukas grudgingly hand over their sound link device, and Kouchu and the others help them repair it. As they work together, there’s a lot of comedic moments, with Kouchu accidentally pressing the wrong buttons, Shauna getting tangled in wires, and Sakuro trying to calm down the Marukas who keep arguing about how to fix the device.

  Shauna (frustrated, accidentally tripping over wires):

  “Why is everything so complicated?!”

  Kouchu (laughing despite the frustration):

  “At least we’re getting somewhere. Kind of.”

  After some trial and error, the brawlers and Marukas finally manage to fix the sound link device. As it activates, a wave of sound rushes through the dimension, and the brawlers hear a familiar, comforting noise – the sound of the world returning to normal.

  Kouchu (grinning):

  “Yes! The sound’s back!”

  Sakuro (smirking):

  “Finally, some peace and quiet… with noise, of course.”

  ?

  [Scene 6 – The Grand Finale]

  With the sound restored, the brawlers celebrate their success. They stand in a circle, laughing, while the Marukas sulk in defeat. Then, out of nowhere, Kouchu suddenly starts singing a silly theme song about their adventure. Shauna and Sakuro look at him in surprise, but they quickly join in, laughing along.

  Kouchu (singing loudly):

  “We’re the brawlers, we’re the best!

  We’ll fix the world, no matter the quest!

  With Crystal Monsters by our side,

  We’ll fight and win, with lots of pride!”

  Shauna jumps in, harmonizing with him.

  Shauna (singing):

  “We’ll find the sound, make it all right,

  We’ll make the world louder with all our might!”

  Sakuro, slightly embarrassed but laughing, adds his voice too.

  Sakuro (singing, reluctantly):

  “We won’t stop till the job’s complete,

  Fixing the world with a happy beat!”

  Even the Marukas can’t help but smirk at the ridiculousness of it all. The whole group sings the theme song together, filling the dimension with sound and laughter.

  ?

  [Scene 7 – A Quiet Goodbye]

  As the brawlers prepare to leave, they look around at the restored world, now filled with sounds again. The Marukas, though defeated, offer a begrudging acknowledgment.

  Maruka Leader (grumbling):

  “You may have won this time, but we’ll get you next time. You haven’t heard the last of us!”

  Kouchu smiles back at them.

  Kouchu (laughing):

  “I think we’ve heard enough from you for today.”

  The brawlers wave goodbye and head back through Shari’s portal, their laughter echoing behind them as they continue their journey.
