Once Stalyan and Varian finally arrive at Goldberry's tents, they discover that Rapunzel is indeed fighting against the Malice Marauder... and it doesn't seem so if things are going so well. The princess is lying in an exhausted heap inside the ring, her long hair sprawled wildly around her. Marauder —a short but muscular woman dressed in pink with a huge ponytail on top of her head— is stomping towards her menacingly.

     "Look, her frying pan," Varian says to Stalyan, pointing to Rapunzel's weapon of choice that has been thrown on the ground outside of the ring with a huge bite taken out of it.

     "Hey, Malice!" Stalyan shouts, getting the woman's attention. "Mind if we cut in?" She grabs the frying pan, and she and Varian leap into the ring between Rapunzel and Marauder. Stalyan holds up the pan and adds, "Looks like you owe her a frying pan." She smirks at Rapunzel.

     "Stalyan! Varian!" Rapunzel says happily

"Stalyan! Varian!" Rapunzel says happily. Stalyan actually gives the princess a high five, and then prepares to face Marauder. Varian helps Rapunzel up, and she gives him a tight squeeze.

     Marauder charges at Stalyan, but Rapunzel uses her hair to lift Stalyan out of her path. As she does this, Stalyan gives Marauder a well-directed kick, sending the woman flying backwards as the crowd cheers. With a growl, Marauder leaps out of the ring, picks up the chair Goodberry is sitting in, and dumps him out of it. Goodberry protests loudly, hiding under his table. But Marauder ignores him, and holds the chair high above her head as she balances on the ropes surrounding the ring. But before she can do any damage with the chair, Rapunzel wraps her hair around the rope, pulls, and slingshots Marauder out of the ring. Marauder lands on the ground, the splintered wood of the broken chair scattered around her.

     Angrier than ever, Marauder grabs the table Goodberry is hiding under. Goodberry protests even louder, but Marauder leaps back into the ring and holds the table over her head.

     "What is it with her and furniture?" Rapunzel wonders aloud.

     Marauder hurls the table at Stalyan, but she leaps over it with ease, bounces against the ropes, and lands back in the same spot where she began. Marauder grabs the table again and flings it at the trio. Varian ducks, but Stalyan and Rapunzel leap onto the table as it lands on the ropes. They balance on it the same way as they did on the log in the river.
