Joining the Rebellion

Leena let out a scream. But just then, another creature just like him entered the room. The only difference between the second dragon and first was that the second's body was blue to the first's green. Just then, the first dragon said, "Its good to know you've escaped the guards. But where are all your friends? Did they get caught?"

"No," answered Leena, "I just fell in this hole, and don't know how to get out. Can you lead me back to the entrance so I can find my friends?"

"Sure," replied the two dragons in unison. Then, they took Leena by the hand, and began to retrace her steps through the tunnel.

"Leena…where are you?" called Bit. He didn't give a care if the guards spotted him, just that he could find Leena safe and sound. Brad and Jamie had different ideas, and were persistently trying to shut him up.

Soon, Bit stumbled on the hole in the ground. "Hey guys," he exclaimed, "Take a look at this. I'd bet my CAS system that this is not a natural hole."

Everyone gathered around. They all agreed that it had to be made by someone—or something. As they stared, the little green dragon popped his head out of the hole. "Here you are, we're at the exit," he said. The creature left the hole, followed by his brother. Then, last but not least, Leena climbed out.

"Leena! You're alive!" screamed Bit. He was so overjoyed, that his eyes began to tear.

Leena took her love in her arms and stated, "Of course I'm alive. I'll never leave you, not even if the universe crumbles at my feet." Then, they shared a kiss.

The green dragon cleared his throat. "I would like to introduce myself," he said, "My name is Bub, and my brother here is Bob. The sinister Madam Luna has enslaved our planet, as well as nine others. I would like to ask you if you'd be willing to join the resistance against them?"

Everyone stood there shocked. They were inside the video game. But there was no time to think about it, innocents were in trouble. So they took a vote, and unanimously decided to join up.

"Great, we'll just take you to our underground base," replied Bob.

"The rebels have a small faction set up on every planet. I don't know how they communicate with each other, but somehow they've been coordinating attacks on every planet in this star system," stated Madam Luna. She was in her fortress briefing room, explaining the situation to Harry.

Harry inquired, "So how can I stop them?"

"Just follow my directions," said Madam Luna, "And I'll also teach you to battle with bubbles, like the rest of the citizens of these systems. Once you can do that, you can use that skill to crush the rebels like they were insects."

Meanwhile, Bit and the others had reached Bub and Bob's living quarters. The little hole was more spacious than Leena had originally thought. Each of the small doors she had seen around the house opened to reveal a bedroom, the kitchen, the bathroom, and a storage closet. Their size—as well as that of the main chamber—looked like it was to big for a pair of tiny dragons.

"This isn't our real home, only our hideaway," stated Bub, "We purposely made it big enough for when we found some more allies. And also tall enough just in case one of them is a giant like you guys."

Bit was about to say that he wasn't a giant, but then he realized that to a pair of tiny dragons that's how he appeared. So he asked, "Is there anybody else here with you?"

Bub smirked. "Packy! Come here girl," he called. At once, a green dervish came running in. When it stopped, it looked just like a little cat that was standing upright. The body and hands were green, but the feet and area around the face was white. It also had quite a robotic look.

"Packy is our mascot," stated Bob, "We found her a few months ago being tormented by the robotic guards. So we took her in. She's a pretty good bubble warrior for a robot."

Packy walked right up to Leena. She then began to purr and rub herself against the young woman's leg. Leena took the hint, and began to pet her. 'She must sense that she's my favorite character to use in the game,' thought Leena.

Brad wondered, "How exactly do we fight with bubbles? And what is the situation as it currently stands? We do need to know in order to help you guys out."

"How should I put this?" pondered Bob, "Well, about a year ago, Madam Luna stole all the holy rainbow bubbles—one from each planet. The whole galaxy is now in eternal darkness. Most of the citizens are now locked up in work camps, making things for her scheme to conquer the universe. But several factions have risen up to challenge her ruling. We are but one of them. Our mission is to liberate our planet from her robo-goons, and move onto the snow world. As for the bubble fighting, well it isn't so hard to learn. In fact, I can teach you in a matter of hours."

* * *

By the end of the night, everyone knew how to battle with bubbles. Bit had taken on the pattern of their mentors, but everyone else worked out their own pattern ideas. Leena preferred to throw plenty of traps at her enemies—with a few star gifts. Brad, Naomi, and Jamie wanted to use regular colors, while the others had combinations of the two types.

"Tomorrow, we'll strike the enemy strongholds. Hopefully, we will be victorious and can move onto the snow world before the week is through," stated Bob.

Everyone began to cheer. They were excited about testing their strength against this new enemy. And who knew, maybe after fighting against Madam Luna, they would be able to find a way home to their own world.

Well, the battles begin next time. I'm going to go through the planets in the order that the game does it. You'll see which exactly they are when they come.
