Transcript
Saigon is now ruled by Ngo Dinh Diem and Ducangers,which they are more savage than evil Lola Loud or an emperors. Trịnh Thị Kim Chánh,the killer of Toads,is being called and tasked by Ngo Dinh Diem.

I heard what Ngo Dinh Diem was saying to her. He was in his president room and now he ordered her. The Anti-Rubyism in South Vietnam give me an nightmare about my village,Ruby Rose and even her innocent supporters. He even more evil than Coalition of the Red Star dictators or terrorists.

'' I hate every Buddhists and Rubyists. They're not welcome to us, so that I will make our nation into powerful nation to destroy not only the Viet Cong but also all anything related to Ruby Rose or USA since American did in My Lai. (Ngài ghét bất kỳ ai theo Phật Giáo và chủ nghĩa Ruby. Chúng không được chào đón tới chúng ta, để mà ngài sẽ làm nước ta trở thành đất nước mạnh mẽ để không chỉ phá hủy bọn Việt Cộng mà có cả tất cả những gì liên quan tới Ruby Rose hoặc Hoa Kỳ kể từ lúc bọn Mỹ đã làm ở Mỹ Lai) '' said Ngo Dinh Diem that he said to Trịnh Thị Kim Chánh. '' We have already tries to invade Inkwell Isle but our nation could be defeated by anyone use guerrilla tactical in Inkwell Isle since we planed invade it. I order you to seek Inkwell Isle's weakness - assassinate Cuphead and capture his soul for bring it to us,so that finally we will conquer it in our future plan ! Then they will be obeyed and be under ruled in our reign with South Vietnam for the future. '' (Chúng ta đã rồi lên kế hoạch tới xâm lược Inkwell Isle nhưng nước ta có thể bị đánh bại bởi bất kỳ ai sử dụng chiến thuật du kích ở châu lục đó kể từ khi chúng ta đã lên kế hoạch xâm lược nó. Ngài sẽ ra lệnh cho bạn tới tìm kiếm điểm tử huyệt của Inkwell Isle - ám sát Cuphead và bắt sống linh hồn hắn vì mang nó cho chúng ta, rồi cuối cùng chúng ta sẽ chinh phục nó trong tương lai của chúng ta. Rồi chúng phải tuân theo và dưới sự cai trị của chúng ta với Nam Việt Nam vì tương lai)

"Yes,Mr. President. " (Vâng,Ngài Tổng Thống.) - Kim Chánh replied,then she and 10 of her commandos are prepared to assassinate.

They're gonna planning kill Cuphead and steal his soul for conquer Inkwell Isle. I can't believe their plan gave me nerves,....fear and nightmare. Those plan will be worse than the Soviets (USRAC) and the imperialists (NCP) ! I must warning to Cuphead,Mugman and all of their friends !

In Inkwell Isle,Trịnh Thị Kim Chánh and 10 of her commandos deployed to find somewhere which Cuphead located until she found Hilda's Observatory after we signed the allied treaty to the Coalition of the Red Phoenix but then Sally Stageplay and her husband spotted her when they were in Inkwell Isle.

"Hey ! What are you doing here ? You tries...." -said Sally when she and her husband spotted her until they being sprayed to sleep by her sleeping spray.

And then Kim Chánh and her commandos are tries to open the door of Hilda's Observatory until Hilda Berg come from outside to spotted them and use the alarm speakers to cause alert and make us,her friends,Team Magic School Bus and even Cuphead are going to deploy themselves for defend.

As her has been spotted, Kim Chánh ordered her commandos to attack us,so we will attack them. "An gunshot sound noises getting more happened".

Some of her commandos shot us and killed more of our guards. Cuphead,Ms. Chalice,Mugman and Cala Maria come into to attack 3 of Kim Chánh's commandos. So as I and my allies with Team Magic School Bus are going to gunning down 3 of those enemy commandos.

Also,some of the CRP leaders and their friends who are in their army camp from that observatory's outside are also hear the gunshot.

" Do you hear that ? I think there are an gunshot from overhere. " - Squigly said.

Rumor Honeybottoms and Baroness Von Bon Bon with Captain Brineybeard,some of us and Wally's son run into them for information

"Honeybottoms reporting ! We need your help to handle the intruders ! They commit to kill someone of us !" said Rumor Honeybottoms that she said to some of the CRP leaders

"I believed that I bet someone blasted on bad happen. That thing is why I will make them suffer" - Masamune Date reply.

"True ! The ARVN commandos has incoming up that we will surely encounter and defeat them." -said Captain Brineybeard.

"Oh no. I can't believe myself. But I tell the truth of important one who will die like me on my first time" - said Mousse Benetta

We,Rumor Honeybottoms and Baroness Von Bon Bon with Captain Brineybeard and Wally's son are shocked. We still hear her happen.

"Someone who gifted more important to their homeland. But when it being targed to be dead in the hand of the invaders who commited the assassination, then this is how one homeland will be conquered and sorrowful if there are very much weakness by kill the most important one. I may be died on my first time on the assassination until I come back from dead but the Inkwell Isle will not able to survive from the evil invader, like the Chaos have done to my kingdom in the beginning of Chaotic War if lost the main important hero until we defend. ." -said Mousse Benetta

"And will Cuppy die here ?.....as are we go suffer...?.." - Baroness Von Bon Bon reply in unhappy.

"Sadly,yes. He will be gone in the disharmony ways which worse than the Devil......by in the hand of the rouge Ducangers who want his death....." - Mousse Benetta reply in tearful.

We and Bon Bon getting shocked to fear as the CRP leaders are try help us. We must hurry to come to Cuphead for defend him after Benetta has even warned us.

"We must go on here to help Cuphead on the safely. He is in danger as we worried" - said Squigly.

Masamune Date riding his war horse and run fast,as we are run to try defend Cuphead before he dies here.

Meanwhile,Cuphead and Mugman with his friends are attacking Kim Chánh's commandos. Beppi run forward to perform the bayonet charge as Masamune Date arrived. But we believe we are going to attack the most of Chánh's commandos.

Also, The Root Pack and the Phantom Express took down 4 of Chánh's commandos. Squigly took the the AT4 Rocket Launcher to perform the assault as her comrades are attacking Chánh's commandos. The rest of Kim Chánh's commandos are.
