It was a bright sunny day at the Marchen Kingdom. Poet(in her Pop'n Music 4 appearance) was busy picking flowers in a grassy field to make a vase as a gift for Nyami, Mimi & MZD for their party at Lapistoria. When she was about to pick up a white colored petal daisy flower, she noticed a small red blood drop on the grass blade. As the drops appeared, Poet then looked up and was shocked in fear.

A semi-realistic man with white spiky flat top hair, pale skin and red colored eyes with smudged blood under his eyes and down to his cheeks; imitating tears, wearing a black trench coat, dark brown faux leather gloves, black pinstriped single-breasted suit & vest, dark grey dress shirt, crimson necktie, pink & light grey argyle socks and white loafers with black soles was in front of her. His face looks like the late Ray Liotta and has a stitch on his right cheek but it was covered in black shadow except for his eyes & mouth. He was holding the hairs and beanie of a decapitated head with broken sunglasses, covered with blood that appears to be Nickey's in his left hand.

"I hate annoying cartoony little kid shits like you! I fucking hate EVERYBODY in the goddamn world, especially this stupid-ass world I'm in!"

The man angrily raised his right arm which appears to be holding a bloody hatchet, about to strike Poet by killing her with it. Poet opened her wings and about to fly away from the mysterious man but all of sudden, a voice yelled out her name.

"Big sister Poet!" Poet breathily turned around and saw her little brother, Amulet holding a bunch of flowers in his arms, flying by. She quickly then turns around and the man is either gone or disappeared as part of Poet's imagination or she's just hallucinating. Her brother flew to her, showing each type of flower that he picked.

"Look what I found, big sister! Lavender, tulips, sunflowers and forget-me-nots! We should head back to the castle and complete the vase for the party!"

He jovially laughs as Poet worries about the man she encountered. Amulet looks at his sister and is confused at her scared body language.

"What's the matter, big sister? Are you okay? Did... did you lose another friend?"

"No, Amulet. I'm fine..." She replied, taking a big deep breath. "Let's head back to the castle. The outside is very dangerous."

Amulet nods with agreement and puts the flowers into Poet's basket. When they were about ready to fly back to the Marchen Kingdom castle, Poet turned around and noticed the man she met hiding behind a tree, glaring at her. She fearfully looked away as she and Amulet flew into the partly cloudy sky. The man walks out the tree, stands on the grassy field of daisy flowers and continues staring at the two angel children fading into the clouds as the sun slowly goes down at dusk.

At the castle of Marchen Kingdom, Poet & Amulet flew down and went to the castle door. Poet starts to develop anxiety about the man she just saw as Amulet comfortably calms her.

"Amulet, I-I don't think I could make it...!" Tears come out of Poet's eyes and starts hyperventilating and sobbing.

"Don't cry, big sister! Take ten huge breaths like I do when I have moments like when you're not around."

Poet smoothly inhales and exhales ten breaths. Her little brother asked her what happened at the flower field.

"So big sister, why are you acting so strange today?"
"Well, Amulet... I saw a man in front of me."
"A man?! Is he friendly! Tell it's " His eyes sparkled with happiness.
"No, Amulet. He was not... He... tried to attack me."

Amulet went silent and realized his sister was almost assaulted by the stranger that she met. He kept a straight face.

"...You know, big sister? Let's keep this a secret and never talk about this."

As they walked inside the castle, an angry voice screamed.

"Poet, Amulet! Where were you two?! You guys are late for arranging the flower bouquet!" An upset Henry scolds the angels with a nervous Dino trying to calm him down.

"Prince Henry, relax! They are a little bit late, that's all, roar!"
"We're sorry, Prince Henry! My big sister had a moment in the daisy field when she was flower picking and then she began to cry."
"No, I wasn't-"
"Yes you did, big sister! Don't lie! I calmed you down when we're outside at the castle door and you started to lie!"
"Everybody calm down, roar!"

Henry took a quick breath and tried to apologize but the angels kept arguing as Dino tried to appease the group.

"I apologize for the way I acted but you guys have to be on time. Not like last time when you and your little brother were wasting time, playing hide-and-seek on the cloud while me and Dino were setting my birthday party inside my castle."
"Well... I told my brother to stop but he did not listen."
"I listen! I listen, big sister!"
"ROAR, CHILL!"
"Enough! Let's take our conversion to the dining room and set up the vase as me and Dino work on the decorations. Come on Dino."

Outside of the castle window, two hands hovering and grabbing the sill as heavy breathing can be heard. The man watches the four talking as they walk to the dining room. He ran around the castle to find a hiding spot but he was caught by a male knight guard who loosely resembles Knight from Pop'n Music 14 FEVER!.

"Halt! Who are you, what are you doing?! This castle does not allow trespassers so I suggest you kindly leave or be jailed in the Marchen Kingdom prison. Your choice." The man did not answer and creepily stared at him.

"Oh, the silence treatment, huh?! And you're starting to creep me out. In that case, 100 years in the Marchen Kingdom prison! No food & drinks what so ever. Come with me."

The guard grabbed the man's left arm but out of nowhere, the man weld a switchblade out from his suit jacket and stabbed the guard in the neck as he vomited blood out of his mouth and the blood oozed down to his chest. The man introduces himself to the guard as he gargles in pain.

"The name's "Bloody" Chance E. Accetta. I came around of this so-called "Pop'n" world, killing and torture every fucking character in this shithole just for serious reasons. You can take your dumbass accusations and stick them up your fucking asshole."

Bloody Chance begins to slice the guard's neck open as he drops down on the grass as Chance rips the guard's armor off and constantly stabs his stomach as another guard hiding behind a column, watching the horrors. He ran rapidly inside the castle, warning everyone on what he saw.
