The vines are too strong to merely wiggle free from, and the cat doesn't seem inclined to answer many questions. It will introduce itself as the NEKO SHOGUN and wave it's little cat-shaped fan thing at Suyeong "menacingly" (it's not very menacing). In response to the reason the dog hates it, well-- cats and dogs don't get along, right?

It does seem to perk up with Suyeong asks it about a trade ("Aha! I knew there was a reason I captured you!!!"), but at that point something. . . glitches out on the television. The screen flashes, and the NOODLE DOG seems to fall right out of the television screen, JUST LIKE SADAKO!! It immediately bolts for the cat, who hisses and shrieks and falls off the desk, in a flurry of paws and fur. The noodle dog bites through the vines of Suyeong's trap, freeing her and opening up a small miniboss fight with the Neko Shogun!

Unlike most Shadows, the cat is. . . pretty weak. It attacks with physical attacks and sometimes whips out a giant fish to smack people around with. It can be knocked around pretty easily and eventually will turn tail and run, leaving behind. . . a tiny little dagger with a stylized-snake handle.

Noodle dog seems pleased by this victory, and it will paw at some of the papers that A2 and Suyeong have gathered. If they give it one, it will place its paw on the paper, leaving behind a pawprint marking on the back. . . and when they pick the paper up, they will miraculous find that they can read the words! They say:

"Strength was ██████ in all that ██ did ████ strong god ███. From █████ grew a hundred █████, a ████ dragon, with dark ███████ tongues, and from under the brows ███████ in ████ marvelous heads █████████ fire burned from ███████."
