Chapter 52: Operation Panel Paste

The day after the galactic throw, the blue tower basked in a soft peace. Saphira was sprawled on her cushion throne, a half-chewed galactic chocolate chip cookie in her mouth, while Élya, balanced on a floating shelf, read her an animated comic projected into the air but suddenly, the comic itself trembled. a bubble emerged from the page, quivered, and exploded in a shower of wild letters:"Alert! The comic The Age of Ninja Cacti is REWRITING itself! Super Potato urgently requested!"

Saphira immediately sprang up, her eyes gleaming with pure excitement:"I'm coming with you!" From the ceiling, as if obeying an absurd script, a blue cape slowly descended. She grabbed it, fastened it laughing, then pulled out a badge drawn with glitter felt. Élya, arms crossed, watched her without comment, but still picked up a foam helmet. 

—"I suppose I'm guarding the tower... again."

They plunged together into a dimensional comic bubble, the inky vortex swallowing them in a burst of "POOF!". Inside, everything was... unstable the comic panels trembled the outline lines undulated the text bubbles floated like unhappy ghosts, screaming "AAAAAAAAAAAH" in capital letters the sky changed color with every blink of an eye the ground was made of ink tiles a secondary character ran in a loop, shouting as he passed: "My mustache changed its personality! It became republican!" Super Potato emerged from the edge of a panel, holding a magical spiral notebook. "This comic is corrupting itself! The bubbles are merging, the gags are canceling each other out, and the 4th wall is cracked! If we don't intervene now, humor itself could self-destruct!" Saphira jumped into an unstable panel, landed on a half-scribbled floor, and projected blue lightning to redraw the contours of the scenery a mountain rose in the background with luminous "BAM!"  that vibrated like drums:"Okay, i'll stabilize the backgrounds you neutralize the hostile absurdities." Super Potato puffed out his chest. "Received, world-defrizzing princess."

They encountered the main villain: a giant cactus, dressed in a pirate kimono, a president's cape, and a ninja headband he held a legislative quill and screamed: "I decree: From now on... NO CHARACTER CAN MAKE A PUN!" Super Potato collapsed, screaming in despair:"This is... this is the end of everything." Saphira, hand on her heart, was slightly electrocuted by the shock.:"This is... an attack... against humor itself."

The battle erupted. Super Potato performed a spinning jump his cape caught the onomatopoeia around him he transformed a "BOOM" into a laser cannon, a "ZING" into an energy whip, and a "POOF" into a dimensional trampoline. Saphira, for her part, generated bubbles of light in the shape of dialogues, each containing a cosmic joke one exploded, crying out: "Why do stars hate dates? because they're afraid of falling into orbit!" The cactus counter attacked he launched bubbles of pure silence massive "..." that annihilated all sound. Saphira, paralyzed, screamed: "It's the most dangerous attack: narrative void!" Super Potato, suddenly serious: "We have to make him laugh. If we make him laugh... the comic will come back to life." Saphira closed her eyes she thought hard, then murmured: "Once, Destiny tried to eat a sweet grimoire it was an illusion he sneezed spells for two days there's still an armchair that meows at night."

A silence, then... the cactus exploded with laughter literally. LOL cacti burst from the ground, danced, screamed "HAHAHA" in pink smoke the comic stabilized the colors returned to their place the panels stuck back together they exited through a margin that had become stable again. Super Potato, lifting Saphira in his arms, declared: "You're no longer a sidekick you're officially an inter-universal co-writer." Saphira, modestly, smiled. 

—"I don't want to direct stories I just want to make sure they continue... to make people smile."
