"I see you're back again, huh?" Jorin asked as a Defender and a Vanguard walk into the Hall of Heroes. "And I see you have a friend with you."

"Yeah, I gotta work on becoming a Vanguard, don't I?" The Defender goes straight to the machine next to Jorin and pays for a Blazebrand and a Blizzbrand recipe, then goes to Echo and gets a Grand Flourish.

"Come on now, kid," Daxen perks up. "You always go for the swords, why not get a gun instead?"

"Or a bomb," Remi suggests. "We could always use another Bomber."

The Defender pulls out a vile striker and holds it over his shoulder in a taunting way. "You guys know I'm training to be a Swordmaster. Besides, you two already have enough Gunslingers and Demolitionists. That," he puts the sword away. "and I'm a bad shot with guns."

"Now now, Sono," the Vanguard chimes in. "Don't be rude to your superiors."

"Riiight, Davan." He turns to him. "And you've never been rude to anyone before."

"You always rush into things too quickly, Sonosuke. If you had tried being patient for once," Echo playfully shakes Sono's helmet, causing him to readjust it. "maybe then you wouldn't lose your energy so much."

Jorin sighs, then Archilus interrupts "Yo, Sono. I have some new recipes for you to use."

He goes over to the machine and picks out a few recipes, then heads over to Sylvin. "I know I don't normally get anything from you, but I'll make an exception."

"Alright then." Sylvin hands him a Scary Skelly Shield and a Sinister Skelly Shield.

"Oh right, Walkon." Davan goes over to him. "I need some more recipes."

"You never change, huh Lord-Davan?" He gives him a couple of new recipes.

They head back towards the entrance. "Alright, we'll be seeing you-" A loud explosion is heard outside, followed by a rumbling in the building and panicked Knights screaming.

Jorin, Davan, and Sono run out the door, followed by the remaining Heroes. The entire Garrison area is now in ruins, with debris everywhere and recruit knights running around in fear "Uh-oh." Izola turns back. "Lieutenant Barrus! This Is An Emergency!"

Barrus comes out from the back and surveys the situation. "This isn't good." He takes out a device and speaks into it. "All Knights, this is a Code Red Emergency. I repeat, this is a Code Red Emergency."

Sono runs over to the Lab to make sure nothing was damaged in the explosion. Morlin and several other biotechs run out with several sprites. Before he gets to the steps, however, the backup generator for the Lab explodes, sending everyone off their feet. "Morlin!" He gets up and runs over to him and a biotech. "Morlin, what happened?"

"Oh, Sonosuke. Glad to see you're still alive." Several Wardens are going around and removing any debris they come across. "A gremlin thwacker came out of no where and attacked us, throwing his hammer at the generator."

Davan gets up and looks around, and sees several gremlins and constructs running around and attacking the place. "Morlin!" Walkon and Zebulon run up to them. "Are you okay? What happened just now?" As he explains the situation, Sono's com unit perks up.

"Sono? Davan?" Snowcracker, their friend and one of the Guild Masters asks "Why was there an explosion coming from the Garrison?" Several of his other guild members ask what happened as well.

"Snow, Nick, rally up the Guild." Davan looks over to Sono, and they both run towards the Guild Hall. "Sono, you go to the hall, I'll warn the other guilds." Sono nods, and they go inside.
