"Once we pass through that Great Door, our adventure will really begin..." Ralsei said.
"You know what that means??" Echo exclaimed.
"Um... no, what?" Ralsei said.
"MONTAGE TIME!! HECK YEAH!!" Echo cheered.
And so it went... (Please imagine a jazzed-up Field of Hopes and Dreams is playing in the background and it sounds like that one happy travel montage part in movies, and the scenes I'm describing to you are all flashing past like a montage.)

"You guys... you guys aren't gonna, like, beat up everyone if I let you into the Card Castle, are you?" Lancer said nervously.
"Nah, we'll be all sneaky and sneak around and stuff. Be stealthy." Echo said. "No beating up involved."
"Can't guarantee I'll be all perfectly pacifist and wimpy. But I guess if it bothers you so much, I won't beat anyone up." Susie said.
"...Not even when you have to fight my dad?" Lancer asked.
"What? Of course not! You're my friend!" Susie said.
"Aww, that's so sweet, Susie!" Ralsei said. "I knew you were a kind person all along!"
"Oh, don't get all sappy on me." Susie said, pushing down the brim of Ralsei's hat. "But... I guess it's not going to kill me to be a 'nice guy' this one time."
"So what are we waiting for? Let's go seal that fountain!!" Echo cheered!
