Setting[]
- In a forest near Pravoka
Script[]
| And so... | |
| The Light Warriors are walking towards Pravoka. Fighter is carrying the Armoire of Invincibility. | |
| Black Mage | Oh for the love of evil, not this again. |
| Thief | As team leader, I have to say I don't approve. |
| Red Mage | Agreed. The armoire's massive encumberance rating is fast becoming a major hindrance to our heroic travels. |
| Thief | And that big unwieldly thing will no doubt interfere with my all important flee ability. Plus, the quicker we travel, the less we have to deal with the Nightmare poison. |
| Fighter | I'm sorry you feel that way, fellas. But I've been questing for the Armoire of Invincibility all my life. I'm not about to give it up now. |
| Black Mage | HOLD IT! |
| Black Mage | Where, oh where to begin. Oh, I know! First we've only been on this "quest" of yours for like three days. Second, you were looking for the Armor of Invincibility, not the armoire. |
| Fighter | You are obviously mistaken. I wouldn't be lugging around this impossibly heavy furniture if I hadn't been questing for it. |
| Fighter | I mean, geez, I'm not stupid. |
| Black Mage | It's furniture. Not armor. It does not protect you. |
| Fighter | Ha! Shows what you know. Thanks to the armoire, I haven't been hit by an enemy yet! |
| Black Mage | That's because it crushed you to death before the monster could attack! I distinctly remember dancing on your grave. |
| Silence. | |
| Fighter | I'm afraid I don't follow... |
| Black Mage | (holding his knife) Then you must bleed. |
| Red Mage | Wait! I have an even better solution. |
| Stay tuned! | |
| Same 8-bit time! | |

Trivia[]
- Both the title of this comic and the ending is a reference to the Batman television series. A common catchprase is "Holy (something), Batman!" and episodes often end with the words "Stay tuned, same bat-time, same bat-channel!"
- Black Mage's 'Hold It', plus his stance and the diagonal background refers to the Ace Attorney franchise.
