*Back in Techno Reef*

*king trollex was swimming back and forth nervously*

Synth: Bro what's wrong?

King Trollex: I- i don't get it

Synth: don't get what?

King Trollex: Beatstar should've been here!

Synth: well the rainstorm last night was a bit *makes pac-man death noise* maybe EDM-star got swept away in the storm

King Trollex: *eyes widen* What?!

King Trollex (talking to himself): Okay okay no need to panic, beatstar just got swept away in a huge current to who knows where! She could be in danger! 

King Trollex: Synth we gotta find her!

Synth: What?

King Trollex: She can't fend for herself in a another world!

Synth: but what about when she swam up to the surface by herself?

King Trollex: that was when she needed to find out where she came from in the first place besides the frickin' anemone!

King Trollex: *clears throat* sorry but look synth, first thing at daybreak We're going to find beatstar

*Meanwhile*

*beatstar and alberto arrived at portorosso*

Beatstar: whoa so that's the human town

*suddenly as they were swimming towards the shore a boat passed them by*

Alberto: uh oh quick hide behind that boat!

*alberto and beatstar hid behind an upside-down boat*

Beatstar: how are we gonna get up there without being spotted?

*alberto and beatstar glanced at the boat and got an idea*

*on the shore*

*beatstar and alberto used the boat to hide and get onto the shore while alberto changed to a human while beatstar cast a spell which makes her wings and horn invisible*

*they took the boat off and peeked behind a wall*

Alberto: okay this will be a breeze, just don't get wet and don't let the spell wear off

Beatstar: Okay *sees the spears and fishes with hooks in their mouths and yelps slightly*

Beatstar: Actually th- this place seems a little bit crowded *tries to back away but alberto grab the back of her shirt*

Alberto: Hey silenzio bruno

*beatstar groans as he dragged her past the fishermen*

*beatstar peeks and she sighs of relief*

Beatstar: Hey it worked

Alberto: See? all you gotta do is follow my lead

Beatstar: Okay

*as they walked through the town beatstar saw some statues and art that involved sea monsters being slain by fishermen which makes her nervous*

*but when beatstar saw the statue of the sea monster being killed, she whimpered and hid behind alberto*

Beatstar (frightened): 'berto i'm scared

Alberto: Beatstar It's okay, i'm right here, nothing bad is gonna happen to you here...but you should probably stay behind me just in-

*then they heard revving and saw someone riding a vespa with two of his lackeys behind him*

Beatstar: Whoa

Alberto: It's signor vespa!

*then he nearly drove in front of alberto and beatstar and alberto pulled her out of the way, with her landing on his chest and they chuckle nervously while blushing*

???: And now, who wants to watch me eat a big sandwich? Hmm?

Beatstar: There's the vespa...it's schweet

*then a ball rolled in front of them*

Little kid: Hey! little help?

*beatstar glanced at the ball then at the kid and kicked the ball but then it went sideways and hit the vespa but then one of the person's lackey jumped underneath it blocking it from falling*

Ercole: Oh, mamma mia! Talk to Ercole, Are you hurt?

ciccio: Well my head kind of hurts

Ercole: Not you ciccio! out of the way!

*ercole moves the vespa off of ciccio and checks the vespa for scratches*

Ercole (talking to his vespa): Oh, piccolina, if there is so much as a scratch...*sighs of relief*

Ercole: Someone got lucky today, hmm? WHO got lucky?

*the group of kids point at alberto and beatstar and beatstar gulps nervously*

Ercole: Out of towners eh? let me welcome you

*ercole greets them in Italian*

Ercole: Ciccio? *removes his wool scarf and hands it to ciccio*

Ercole: I am delighted to meet you, Number One and Number Two

Ercole: I love your stylish clothes, where'd you get them? a dead body? *bursts into laughter while ciccio and guido snicker*

Ercole: I'm kidding

Alberto: Uhh...look signor vespa-

Ercole: Signor vespa? *laughs* this guy funny hmm?

Ercole: I am ercole visconti! 5-time winner of the portorosso cup

Alberto: The portorosso what?

Ercole: The portorosso cup! *exclaims in Italian*

Ercole: How do you think i paid for my beautiful vespa?

*beatstar glances at ercole's vespa*

Ercole: Hey! stop looking, she is too beautiful for you

Beatstar: I uh- well uh

Ercole (mockingly): I- I- I uh- well uh

Ercole: *laughs* I love it, the little girl can't get a word out

Ercole: Oof and she smells like behind the pescheria *scoffs*

Alberto: HEY! beatstar smells amazing!

*alberto told ercole as he stepped in front of beatstar as she blushed*

Beatstar (thinking): Whoa...is he...defending me? i had no idea he was so caring of me

Ercole: Sorry sorry i'll make it up to her

Ercole: Ciccio, Guido

*ciccio and guido grab alberto and pull him away from beatstar while ercole grabs beatstar and drags her to the water fountain*

Beatstar: What are you doing?

Alberto: Beatstar!

Beatstar: 'berto! help me!

Ercole: Ah just a little bath

*ercole tries to dunk beatstar's head into the fountain but she tries to fight it while whimpering as her strength slowly starts giving out*

???: Hey ercole! Basta!

*then a red-headed girl with a blue beanie wearing a white and orange striped shirt with baggy pants rides her bike in between ercole and beatstar, making ercole drop her and scramble behind the cart attached to the girl's bike while whimpering*

Ercole: Oh look who's here; Spewlia!

Ercole: *chuckles* Wow so that's how you're training for the race

???: *replies in Italian* Your reign of terror is-

??? and Ercole: -Coming to an end

Ercole: You mean like a year ago when you couldn't stop *gags*...throwing up?

???: I didn't quit! they made me stop!

Ercole: I think that is worse, now go away i'm having fun with my new friends

*Beatstar whimpers and hides behind alberto*

???: They're coming with me

???: Hop on you two, i could use the extra weight

*beatstar scrambles onto the wagon and alberto climbs on the wagon*

Ercole: Fine! go start a club, for losers!

*beatstar whimpers while alberto glares at ercole*

Fisherman: Maggiore! another sighting! in the harbor this time!

Police officer: I know, we are setting up a reward

Police Officer: Someone's gonna win a nice prize

Ercole: *gasps* Me! me! i win the prizes!

Ercole: *slaps ciccio* Ciccio! get your daddy's harpoon! we're gonna catch a sea monster!

???: Sto imbecille thinks he can be a jerk 'cause he keeps winning the race, which he shouldn't even get to do anymore, 'cause he's too old and too much of a jerk!

*the red-headed girl laughs sheepishly*

???: You know, we underdogs have to look out for each other, right?

Alberto:...What's under the dogs?

*alberto asked as he helped beatstar off of the wagon*

???: Underdogs, You know, kids who are different, dressed weird, or a little sweatier than average

Beatstar: Uhh...

???: Too much? too much

???: So, are you in town for the race?

Alberto and Beatstar:...

???: The portorosso cup?

Alberto and Beatstar:...

???: Well, good talk

???: I gotta deliver these, always be training you know?

*the red-headed girl pedals away*

Beatstar: *gasps* 'berto we should ask her about this portorosso cup thing! that's how the scary human got his vespa

Alberto: Okay not a bad idea, let's go

*alberto and beatstar go off to find the red-headed girl*

*they spot her and they approach her*

Alberto: Hey uh spewlia?

Giulia: GIULIA! my name is giulia

Alberto: Ookay when you race in a cup what do you get?

Giulia: Soldi, prize money

Alberto: Oh...

Giulia:...Ookay

*giulia pedals away*

*just before alberto could walk away beatstar gets behind him and pushes him to giulia's direction*

Beatstar: No no! keep going!

Alberto: What why?

Beatstar: Ask her about the prize money!

Alberto: But that stuff is useless

Beatstar: Maybe that becomes a Vespa

Alberto: How does that become-?

Beatstar: Just ask her!

Alberto: Fine fine fine

*alberto and beatstar walk up to giulia*

Alberto: Hello again

Giulia: Ciao...

Alberto: Can we turn the money into something else? something like...*notices a vespa* that!

Giulia: Pfft no, but it could get you that

*giulia motions to a rusty and run-down vespa and beatstar and alberto's eyes sparkle in fascination*

Beatstar: It's so beautiful...

Alberto: Yes we need it

Alberto: Great! so we'll just win the race

*giulia brakes in her tracks*

Giulia: You'll have to beat ercole

Alberto: Okay, so we'll beat Ercole

Giulia: Huh really?

Giulia (talking to herself): Thinks he'll beat Ercole, this guy *chuckles*

Giulia: First of all, GET IN LINE!

*Beatstar yelps as she and alberto cling to each other*

Giulia: Every summer that JERK makes my life miserable!

Giulia: So NO ONE! is taking him down unless it's ME!

 Giulia: Second, this isn't any old race, it's an epic, gruelling, traditional Italian triathlon; Swimming, Cycling and eating pasta

Giulia: So you'd need a teammate

Alberto: Well we'll figure it out, thanks human girl *walks away with beatstar*

Beatstar: Hey, hey, wait wait 'berto! what if we join her team?

Beatstar: Come on, Please? it's just so we can get the vespa! please please Please!

Alberto: hey it's okay beatstar she'd rather do the whole race alone again

Alberto: maybe this time she won't throw up as much

Giulia: Uh- hang on!

Giulia:...You wanna be on my team, eh?

Giulia: Let's see what you got

*beatstar finds a bike and sniffs it before jumping on it before she falls off*

Beatstar: I'm alright

Alberto: alright try jumping onto it

*beatstar jumps onto the bike but falls off*

Alberto: No no no, you gotta show it your the boss

*beatstar climbs on the bike and bites at it and falls off the bike again*

Beatstar: bleh bleh bleh! it tastes like paint and metal

Giulia: Santa mozzarella, eyes up!

Beatstar: hm?

Beatstar: Looking up is what's making you fall

Beatstar: but i was looking up!

Giulia: Ooh alright smartie try on the fountain

*beatstar gulps and moves the bike to the border of the fountain and climbs on the bike but falls off and alberto rushes over to her and helps her get the bike off of her*

Giulia: what about you? can you swim at least?

Alberto: yeah i'm amazing- *feels beatstar punch his arm*

Beatstar: what he means to say is that he's amazingly bad at swimming

Alberto:...Yeah what she said

Giulia: You can't swim! and you can barely ride a bike! even when you're looking up! *exclaims in Italian*

Giulia: I mean where are you even from?

Alberto: She's not telling you her secrets!

Alberto: She's lost

Giulia: You're lost? well where are your parents?

Beatstar: I- i don't have any parents only my brother

Giulia: How'd you get separated from your brother ragazza?

Beatstar: I got separated from him in a rainstorm and away from everything i love...but if we win, the vespa can help me find my way home

Alberto: My life's great, i'm just helping her

Giulia: Hmm no

*beatstar's ears drooped*

Beatstar: Wha?...

Giulia: You guys want it just as bad as I do, you have the hunger, that's the important part

Beatstar: I also haven't eaten since i got separated from my brother

Giulia: Perfetto! you eat, you cycle and I swim

Giulia: underdogs?

Alberto and Beatstar: underdogs!

Giulia: Now we just need money for the entry fee...from my dad
