No jail can hold us.” Junior says “We’ll be out of here soon.” Then you hear clanking and see a baton on the jail cell bars. Blue Star dressed up a guard says “Hello maggots, trying to escape? You are going to play by my rules now”. Bowser says “Stay close, son, she won’t break us”. Blue Star continues to torment them and ends with “You can’t silence the truth it only makes it louder like the approaching drum beat of death. Boom boom boom” Bowser and Bowser junior both scream.
