We're walking through Bandle City early in the morning, the sky is clear, and other people walking talk about the attack yesterday. A random yordle walks up to Carlos and tells him, "You don't know how grateful we are to have you guys."
"I didn't know I could do it." Carlos says obviously sounding like he knew he could.
Tristana says, "Well, we're leaving the city. Adventure awaits!" As she points I hear trumpets and violins and look back at Carlos playing orchestra music sounding like it's from a Disney fantasy movie's soundtrack.
Carlos shrugs smiling. "What? You know it's like we're in one of those movies."
Jacob says, "And I'd win so many awards for being so great and then I'd have more Instagram followers than anyone!"
McCree smiles then says, "You know this isn't a movie, right?"
I sigh, feeling a deep dark sadness in my very soul. "Yeah dad died so we have to be careful."
McCree scratching the back of his neck while looking over to Mercy. "Look, whatever I did I'm sorry. Was it what I said in the cave? Swearing back at those Talon guys? They called us effing C-words!"
Mercy rolls her eyes/ "They did that so we'd get so mad and we still beat them you know. And you swore back at them which could have got us in trouble. But you still don't get it."
McCree strokes his chip then his eyes brighten and mouth widens in that aha I got an idea way. "It's because I didn't moon the cop long enough."
Mercy facepalms, her lip quivers in frustration. "Yeah, I'm mad because you didn't go farther after falling for Soldier's grossly immature prank."
Are they mad at each other because they feel guilty over dad dying? I do too but they just wouldn't bring me.
A dry summer wind sweeps through the grass and trees, with a few dying leaves hanging on.
Tristana leads us far off road over a few grassy hills that somehow still has a bit of spring grass remaining despite these dry summer winds. We notice a whole bunch of 8 foot tall weird bug creatures! They make clicking and buzzing sounds.
From the other direction there's a very handsome man on a white horse. His horse wears a red horse apron and shiny silver helmet.
A knight rides in from the other direction. My eyes trace over the dashing knight's long golden tresses gleaming in the sunlight and his sun warmed face. His sparkly sapphire blue eyes are captivating. His high cheekbones and strong jaw are simply perfect, like a model or pop star. The soft curve of his full lips, gold trimmed red cape, shiny silver plate armor that outlines his abs, and perfect silky skin.
He slowly lowers to his knee where he reaches for Tristana's hand and she rest it gently in his palm kisses Tristana's hand.
Mercy's like, "How is she not even blushing!"
Maddie tells her, "She says he's not her type, really emphasizing he." She admires him from afar.
Jerome tells Tristana, "Out here adventuring too I see. How've you been? Anything new with you and Poppy?"
Tristana sighs sounding disappointed. "No, but we will find her mark my words! I just know she's safe."
Jerome sits, looks down with his arms resting on his knees. "Sorry I couldn't find her either. Say I can help you guys clear out those nasty bugs. They're superweapons and they sacrifice their own people to make them! Can you believe that?"
Maddie scoots closer to him and looks up blinking, "I love how your apron contrasts with your eyes. It's so you. Your armor is so gorgeous and well crafted too."
Jerome looks forward at the bug monsters like he's thinking. "Thanks though I remember you told me before?"
Maddie scratches the back of her neck, "Oh, well it does suit you." She grabs his arm, "You're like so brave for helping us with those...things."
Jerome says. "Oh this is nothing." He stands up then looks down to Tristana. "I'm getting into position."
Maddie waves to him while he walks forward.
Tristana strains standing her big heavy gun against a tree to load and teases Maddie. "Since when do you care about armor?"
Tristana loads a few rounds into her trusty gun boomer, smiling. "Ready when you are." She goes prone while Jerome nods acknowledging.
Wow those creatures look scary! Their eyes glow a light red, and their skin patterns differ, with mostly dark green and blue over their exoskeletons. They have long tails and raptor like claws on their feet, and seriously sharp teeth like you wouldn't believe.
He shield bashes one of the creatures making it lose balance rocking backward then he slashes it bringing him down. He moves so fast behind another one and Tristana knocks it down by hitting its head.
I yell to Jerome, "Behind you!" and he slices its tail off. It gets mad and has blade arms so Jerome moves his sword so fast it looks like it's in more than one place. He elbows the monster in the chest then ducks so his arms make a metallic clanking sound then Jerome finishes it off.
Jerome wipes his forehead walking towards us. "If you're heading to the nearby city just remember, they're like so rude."
I can see his sharp defined jawline really well from here. Wow this guy is so cool! The way he moves in that armor is just...wow.
I ask him, "Umm so are you adventuring like us too?"
He proudly smiles and looks up then to us. "You see guys, I'm descended from a great hero and I'm on a quest to find the legendary blade. With all these threats in the world and Kha'zix getter ever stronger it's time for me to stand up, but I can't do it without my trusty blade."
Tristana taps her foot crossing her arms. "No offense, but how do you know you're the chosen one?"
His face flattens and he looks left to right. He then looks up stroking his chin. "Hmm, well I'm a prince who's fighting for his falling kingdom."
He gets on his knee wiping dust off his red and white knight apron and looks up with his hand in the air. "With the council of gods as my witness I shall rend all evil asunder and bring peace to our world!"
He sort of gets up and asks Maddie, "I see you too have the itch for adventure!"
Oooh Maddie's blushing! I think she's smiling because she has a crush on him. She tells him, "Well you see, the Piggy Empire keeps attacking my land and we're doing what we can to defeat them. So Fairy Queen Tiana wants us to retrieve a special artifact for her but we can't get to it without the Alchemist Bear's help so we're getting items so he can make a potion for us."
Jerome says. "I see. I'm sorry I can't join you but I so would if I could you know."
He gets on his horse, waves bye to us and rides away.
We reach the city which is way more boring and less cool than Bandle City with its park, cobblestone streets, fountain, and historical buildings. Most people here is just human.
A lady fake smiles and her eyes look bigger but pupils shrink. Me McCree and Tristana desperately look behind and around us checking for threats. We keep our hands near our weapons because seeing you as a threat is itself threatening. She may even tell guards a strange group is here. She looked past us so she wasn't signaling to us, and this is where they have those icky yucky monster parasite superweapons.
We walk to a cemetery and the dry summer wind was even worse to this place, since more of its grass is left into faded straw and go up a hill under a super enormous fig tree, its many long branches winding like a maze, its leaves rustle in the wind. We don't want to take up so much sidewalk space just standing there conversing that would be the worst.
Tristana looks up to McCree and Mercy, "Hey." She signals to squat so they do and the rest of us listen to her too. "These people don't have any honor, especially since we're different. From what I can tell we have someone on the inside helping."
Maddie then says, "I don't know about you but I think it's the shallow couple we had for dinner the other day. I bet Ava invited her."
Tristana tells her, "We can't jump to any conclusions yet. I mean I don't like them either."
We sit down and have a picnic in the fig tree's shade. I eat tempeh with a peach while McCree eats a few crunchy chicken wings and a small bag of chips while Carlos eats a big double cheeseburger and a medium fry. Mercy places fruit bowls and we all eat grapes oranges and watermelon. All these graves remind me that dad is one with nature now. His work wasn't complete, I just know he'll be back.
McCree tries feeding Mercy a grape but she looks away. McCree says, "Still mad huh? Remember that time we infiltrated the Trump climate change bunker with the gaudy gold and marble everywhere and then we stopped an omnic plot?"
Mercy eats a piece of cucumber then sounding hurt and annoyed says, "I remember how much you just loved the posters."
"But hon you know I'm a..."
Mercy interrupts, "An immature pervert like the guy who made it?"
McCree then says, "I couldn't have caught the guy hiding there funding Talon without you." He puts his hand on hers.
Mercy looks like she's still upset but appreciates McCree recognizing what she did.
We walk towards a dungeon but I hear something down an alley, "Please I don't want any trouble."
I peak and an ugly pig knight cracks his knuckles, "That'll be 100 gold."
"Okay..."
He snatches it then says, "You know what? We really don't like you people always wanting rights."
"That's corrupt and illegal."
"Oh yeah well I'm a piggy so people will believe me more. Hmm who are they gonna believe a guard or some poor person?"
Tristana obviously unable to stand him says to us, "Ugh to serve and protect my a..."
McCree corrects her, "We're military we don't talk that way but yeah serve and protect my butt, let's whoop them!"
Jacob throws an iceball at his head, the red helmet making a loud ding then the other tries attacking but Mercy blocks his sword with her staff then she walks spinning it whacking him in the face, the fast drumming is oh so satisfying.
Maddie grabs the coins the knight stole and hands it to the mugging victim. "Th...thanks! Hey, you're Princess Maddie!"
She wipes dust off her shorts and smiles. "I sure am! Don't worry we're going to take this town from the piggies and we'll have so we'll have power too."
"Thanks. Well I have to get going."
We then head towards the dungeon with hedges that would be pretty if they weren't dying. Tristana goes over the plan. "Okay, Maddie you'll read the guard's minds, then we'll find a way in. Remember they're allied with the pig people.
Maddie gestures for us to go through an opening in the hedges and we climb over a wall, McCree going last because he's the tallest. We walk through a maze and can hear a couple of guards sounding like pig people talking. "I can't stand those yordles! Like who do they think they are? I was going through another country and I was in line for coffee tapping my foot saying I'm gonna be late."
"Yeah those yordles can be rude. And don't even get me started on the poor. After we took that strip of Yordle land fair and square they didn't even give us our workers back! Can you believe them? Ha, like having clean water and good pay is a reason not to recognize their place as our servants. Them going to Yordleland is an act of war, war I tell you!"
We all look at each other and gag, Tristana grimaces, like really wide you seriously have no idea. Tristana leaps out and we're ready to back her up. "You mean sending plague magic? Oh real brave there buddy."
He snorts and goes, "Yeah like the rules of honor apply to the likes of you things."
He reaches for his axe but I whack him with my light guitar then play and Jacob uses slowing freeze magic against them. Tristana knocks one out shooting his head and he falls unconscious and McCree flashbangs and fans the hammer another one sending him back opening a secret passage.
McCree sounding worried says, "It's those creatures again."
There are four of them so we could easily beat them, even though they look quite scary and intimidating.
Tristana whispers, "Let's run through while we have the chance. These ones weren't trained yet to tell their owner's soldiers from the enemy. Just don't look back to those disgusting racists."
So we run down the mausoleum under the mansion. Ugh, it smells like so many people died down here it makes me wanna puke. Oh please don't close the door it needs to air out. McCree opens a door but quickly slams it, he looks like he's going to throw up since his cheeks puff and his robot hand is over his mouth. "You guys seriously do not wanna go in there. There are lots of little ugly critters though."
Mercy says, "Well you know they'll grow up to threaten the yordles right?"
Tristana looks, "Oh my gosh what happened to all these people?" She flattens herself against the brick wall, breathing heavily and swallows. "You don't think, Poppy is here do you?" She puts her face in her hands. "Oh my gosh they got Poppy!"
Maddie gives her a side hug. "Don't worry I'm sure we'll save her?" Tristana wipes a tear from her face and sniffles. "Thanks princess you're the best."
I hope we'll find Poppy too. I really don't like seeing anyone this sad. I lost my dad, so it's not fair if they take Poppy from Tristana.
McCree says, "Carlos this is your job."
His lips turn inward showing his teeth and tugs on his shirt's collar. "M...me? Why me?"
"Because you're the one with the fire magic. Here, I'll damage boost you."
He puts his shirt over his head sitting in the dusty corner and rest his head on his knees. "Nope! Sorry I just can't." I feel so bad for him, he's so scared he's crying.
I need to let him know he isn't alone. "Honestly, I'm a bit scared too."
Me and Jacob try pulling him up. "Please!"
"What if one gets into me? I swear these adventures can get so scary sometimes."
Maddie pats his shoulder telling him, "Don't worry they're babies."
We pull Carlos's fat butt up and he slowly walks to the door with Mercy damage boosting him. "Here I go." He valiantly glows purple and I see a bright lavender light crashing through to the room we're in. After like 6 seconds he tells us to look. Oh my gosh the walls are melting away! Jacob rushes in and uses his ice magic to cool it. It's just a beat of steam, a little dust.
McCree lightly slaps Carlos on the back of the head with his hat.
"Hey what was that for?"
"You could have given us away too much by going full ultra instinct Shaggy on them."
"But I was so scared I didn't wanna take any chances."
McCree's voice rises, "What were you thinking kid like what if we really need your magic for later?"
He looks up looking worried, "I still have magic energy. I can just use basic for now though."
Tristana looks back smiling and waves, "Bye."
We follow her of course. Yeah McCree was taking so long lecturing Carlos.
Jacob says, "Did you see how I stopped the molten rock which only happened because somebody used their second level magic form when they shouldn't have."
Mercy tells him, "We have to put that behind us, for we are on a quest to vanquish the vile."
Carlos is listening to his Spotify and singing, "I don't have a gun! No I don't have a gun!"
McCree smiles and says, "No but I do!"
We open a door and these pregnant looking people are locked in wearing a long white robe. They look like they're starving too.
A lady tells us, "Why did you come here? Just leave us to die. Or else you too might get the parasite. All this just to make monsters to steal land."
Mercy tells her, "Don't worry we'll save you. I promise."
"Okay but we aren't holding our breath. Even if you save us what's there to live for anyway?"
Princess Maddie tells her, "We're gonna take this city and make it way better and you'll have plenty to live for then!"
Carlos is shaking while Jacob tries so hard not to.
Carlos takes a big gulp. "Guys...we have company!"
Okay remember how Prince Jerome handled these creeps.
A big smirking pig who smells like puke and rotting broccoli tells us like he owns the world. "Heh, looks like we'll have more monsters to breed! And they got so many powers too! Their only value in life is sacrificing themselves for our supermonsters. It's okay to be a piggy don't get mad because we know we're entitled to take advantage of and use everyone else."
Tristana leaps onto a chair and cranes her neck, looking into his disgusting eyes and I feel myself starting to stew and can tell she's mad too. She sarcastically claps back to him. "No empathy for people worse off than you and supporting a culture that caters to people like you at everyone else's expense, wow aren't you an edgy rebel?"
"Oh please I've seen poor people wearing shoes! Shoes I tell ya and eating fruit! They have no idea how hard it is to be me!"
"Ugh, because well paid piggies have it so hard."
Mercy shrugs, "Well everyone thinks whatever they are has it worse than everyone somehow."
They attack but I backflip after waving my hand to enchant us with a speed spell. I launch off the wall and kick the big creature in its face and let me tell you my foot hurts! It's like kicking a statue in the face, and I'm a witch. It spits acid but I play my guitar then Trang grabs a wagon wheel and breaks it on his back, distracting him. Jacob throws an ice spear cracking its shell. If only we could be strong like Prince Jerome. He's still faster than me even if I use my spell. Tristana told us our toughest fight is ahead of us.
Maddie signals to me what to do since she can mind read but a creature runs to her so Trang trips it with his laser whip. Carlos is about to use fire but McCree says, "No we'll need it later!"
McCree shoots one of the things twice in the head and his shell like skin is cracked. I speed boost McCree but the thing tripped him with his tail and Mercy's rushing around healing everyone. A yellow light covers McCree and his wounds are fully healed. The monster tries biting her but she whizzes in the air towards Jacob but pulls out her laser pistol and shoots holy light at the pig. It knocked him out so he trips hitting his head on the wall. Jacob signals for a combo and now my laser guitar is surrounded by really cool looking ice blue light! I smack the thing in the stomach then try kicking him behind his knee.
Then Tristana hits him in his tummy then knees with her gun and he dies.
Carlos sits in the corner shaking. Sounding shrunk and scared Carlos says, "Help me."
We look in all the rooms so the cure's not here.
Mercy tells us, "Okay let's get going."
We leave and there are empty armors where we left the piggies.
Carlos stares at the armor where the piggies used to be and jokingly tells us, "Wow and I thought I had an appetite!"
We laugh and I put my hand on his arm, "Oh Carlos!"
Tristana whispers, "We can't let them loose in town, I'll hide in a tree and good old boomer here will snipe one."
She climbs the eucalyptus and goes prone. She fires a shot and we see it moving back and tripping. Jacob grabs a gargoyle and throws it at his head and we finish off the second one.
Maddie points to a mansion. "Look! I bet it's in there! If there's a cure you know anyone who lives there must be hording the cerulean jelly everyone needs."
I speed boost everyone into the yard, McCree chokes a guard out to sleep and rests him against a sycamore.
The door's locked but Carlos burns the door down while Jacob freezes the rest to keep it from burning everything down. I hope Jerome's doing okay especially with those nasties running around.
The mansion has winding marble stairways and pillars. There are paintings of these people in gaudy capes and outfits. Let me guess, whoever owns this place's ancestors?
Carlos is looking at a painting, "Hmm, impressive outfit."
I whisper to Trang, "Yeah, impressively bad!" I noticed all the bad nobles dress so weirdly. Like who does that? Right, different dimension.
We search up and down the halls and through the offices and bedrooms. I look under the bed but stand up so fast I feel dizzy. Everything feels heavy I can't wait until we get back so I can nap.
Oh my gosh what was that? Clicking and buzzing, I bet it's more of those things. They sound even angrier than the last ones.
Carlos starts shaking and gulps. "Guys. I'm afraid. Do I really have to go down there?"
I pat his upper back and look into his eyes. "Don't worry you'll be with us."
Trang adds, "Yeah if any of us die it'll be because you didn't help us."
Mercy's eyelids narrow and her mouth scrunches then scolds him. "I'm very disappointed in you Trang."
McCree says, "Here goes nothing." While kicking the door down.
The creatures He stands glowing, "It's high noon!" He fires his six shooter so fast his right arm looks like it's in so many places at once. So many creatures are critically weakened. We go down and I start hitting them with my holograph guitar, Mercy uses her staff, Jacob's wand, and Tristana's gun to finish them off. Wait, where's Carlos?
We go down another level and I look over to another room. I look through a small window and notice there's all this blue jelly in big jars. That sound's not…oh no! It's a ginormous shadow. I slowly look back and she looks sort of mantis like, no different than the creatures we faced but waaaay bigger than them and with wings. She's pale blue but with dark blue blades on her hands. She has four legs instead of two, so she's like the other creatures but more centaury. Her eyes glow a pastel orange, unlike the smaller creatures whose eyes glowed a lighter red.
McCree confidently smiles. "Don't worry everyone we got this. Come on queenie let's dance!"
behind an even bigger parasite monster, I bet she's the queen. Having Jerome's help right about now certainly wouldn't hurt.
Maddie clenches her teeth rubbing her head moving back against the wall, "This thing's giving me a headache! You don't even wanna know what she's thinking."
She blocks out shots and blows while Carlos's face is under his shirt. "Oh come on we need your fire!"
"I can't! I just can't you guys!"
She shoots purple lasers at us, forcing us on the defensive. Trang runs up a small set of stairs to a small room and gets close enough to use all his antimagic against her. Trang rolls and the queen kicks him up then again yeeting him across the room making a crashing kaboom noise. Mercy flies to him, her magical yellow beam heals him to full.
Trang takes a deep breath, "Thank you! Oh you have no idea how scary that was!"
Maddie's trying so hard to distract it with telepathy but she can't break through her mental defenses.
Jacob summons mint green ice spears and they make a whoosh sound slamming into her!
I tilt my head blinking. "Wha!? This thing can't be frozen!?"
I speed boost him with my guitar, he's shaking so much and squinting so much from summoning a minty green wind blowing so much snow at her.
She laughs and whacks Jacob with her tail knocking him out against a statue of some guy in armor. He's breathing but lying on the white and blue checkerboard floor.
Carlos's cheeks puff and rubs his forehead narrowing his eyes, "Oh that's it! No one does that to my friends!"
Maddie rubs her temples squinting really hard, and the creature lets out a really annoyed yell.
McCree aims his mighty gun at her while Carlos summons a wall of fire McCree shoots through, so they go right through her as fire's her weakness. She thuds and Jacob wakes up and I run over to hug him crying. "You're okay bestie!" Everyone else hugs us too.
Then I hug Carlos, "I'm so proud of you buddy! We believed in you the entire time!"
Mercy points to the closet door remind us, "Umm, we better get the jelly while we can." We grab it excitedly running back upstairs to the main floor.
"Uh oh. Someone just got home." Jacob says. "You got nothing to worry about with me here. A 15 foot bug getting a few lucky hits on me is no reason to…" Trang shakes his head then tells him. "Chill."
A tall man in armor and a sword walks slowly towards us, "So you finally decided to take this place. The great Kha'zix is proud of our work. Why don't you embrace the Piggy Empire? They'll make everyone safer?"
There's a literal army of those creatures behind him! They can't do this we're too young to die!
Tristana leaps through a second floor window doing a double front tuck on her way down. She then looks up like she's waiting for stuff to fall out of the ceiling. "And give up what? Don't yordles count too?" Yay I was wondering when she'd be back!
He pulls on his armor's collar while darting his eyes left and right clenching his teeth. "Umm...guards get them!"
Trenchcoat man from earlier drops from the ceiling and spins gracefully shooting two of his small machine guns. Then he throws them behind him and lifts a freaky monster running at him with his mind at another one. He draws his katana while sliding and cuts one in half. He slides grabbing his guns again then grappling hooks swinging around shooting the rest of the monsters. This time he puts way more magic into his shots.
He looks over to us, "Looks like that Vishkar crook Baneshade X isn't here. I saw those bloody freaks from earlier and thought you'd be here. There's literally no way you were just gonna walk away without drama after all that."
He smiles wide and confidently pushing his sunglasses up, "I'll be seeing ya later. I got me own bloody epic adventures you guys." He grappling hooks really fast out of where a glass window used to be.
Tristana trips a guard with her cannonball while I use magic guitar beams to knock out another. McCree tries flashbanging him but he rolls out of the way and gets behind McCree stabbing him. Mercy quickly heals him but only a little so I take a banner lying around rip it and wrap it around his waist. Maddie is on the spiral stairs and throws a small shield at his head. We then tie him on a chair.
Maddie tells us, "Our army is almost here so we'll have a trial for him and I've already decided on life. Hopefully Zoe's going to agree."
We go back to the mausoleum.
Their faces brighten and they cry happy tears when their bumps go down. "Oh thank you! Thank you!"
We then fight and win verse so many pig guards and yordle soldiers occupy what actually belongs to them. Princess Maddie goes back into the mansion and raises the Yordleland flag and Carlos uses his magic to burn the old one.
A piggy cries, "What's gonna become of us?"
A yordle colonel tells him, "You can start by cleaning out the toxic rivers your people polluted in the first place."
Maddie tells him, "Yeah be glad we're decent enough to pay you guys for cleaning your own mess."
Mercy walks us to a small cave and uses the device Winston gave her. "Looks like our work here is done."
I say, "I feel so grimy I really can't shower soon enough."
Violet skips a little while running. "Oh my gosh you guys you wouldn't believe how amazing Ashley was."
Maddie tells her, "I know right isn't she like really cool?"
On our way to the shower me and Abby talk about our missions. I tell her, "So McCree and Mercy were arguing again. We had a picnic and I think she's starting to like him again thank goodness."
Abby says, "No way!"
"I know right? And we fought against these really scary parasite monsters and Carlos was like uh oh please don't hurt me I mean can you really blame him? But how he burned them was so incredible you should have seen it. Then the trenchcoat guy beat up a whole bunch by himself saving us."
Abby's mouth drops, "Shut up!"
Oh and you wouldn't believe how cool Prince Jerome was."
Jacob tells her, "Yeah he was so hot! The way you can see his ripped yet slender arms burst and he was so fast it was like his arms were in more than one place."
Abby then says, "Oh you wouldn't believe how cool your sister was! Shauna even saved Ashley's life when a piggy mage yeeted an anti magic energy spear when she was at the peak of her really high toss by bubbling her. Then Shauna beat the crap out of the mage but before that Ashley went so fast and there were all these bright purple beams and sparkles everywhere behind her! The thing was a gigantic bug like thing with six legs and she launched right through. Then it threw magic blades at her but she dodged them and Ashley being super amazing dodged them all without any effort whatsoever and kept slashing the big bug thing with her magic sword."
Ashley smiles closing her eyes. "Oh I wasn't that amazing. You were the one who tripped all those creatures and bounced from wall to wall kicking and hitting everything with your hanbo staff."
Abby tells her, "But you have to admit you were cooler."
"Were not."
"Were too."
"Were not."
"Were too!"
Mercy puts her hand on their upper backs, "Oh girls I just know you were both really cool!"
Carlos interrupts. "We better shower, I know I smell worse than a planet of skunks."
The lives we all saved today, but without that mysterious badboy we would have been total goners for sure.
Zoe moves her emerald green piece of dangling hair behind her ear and smiles at Maddie. "I'm so proud of you sis, you won us a city today!"
Maddie walks even straighter and looks up smiling. "Oh you wouldn't believe how dead and ugly it looked! And we even stopped a couple of mean old pigs from mugging a yordle too. He even said people will believe me over you anyway. I mean can you believe that jerk?"
Shauna sighs. "Yeah people take advantage of that like you wouldn't believe."
McCree says to the rest of the group. "Us guys are going in our locker room. We so need it."
I say, "You said it!"
After getting clean and dressed we see Prime Minister Ava look like she dreads seeing us for a split second then smiles. "Oh hi! I see you guys brought Maddie with you. She's a princess so I don't want her going out, do you understand?"
Winston tells her, "But you don't understand! She was such a great help to us."
Zoe speaks up, "You know to be honest I felt the same way but she did win us a city. She even appointed a yordle mayor and added yordle guards and everything."
Ava slams her hands on the table. "Do you know how much money that'll cost us?"
Violet tells her, "Oh I checked, we have way more than enough to clean the place."
The gaudy nobleman then speaks, "We couldn't find the artifact but I've gathered enough info to find that magical focus we're after."
The younger blonde yordle then speaks, "Hon, are you sure you want to sell that?"
He glares at her, "May I remind you that you were born a peasant? All the luxury you know is because of me."
She stares at her pasta moving it around with her fork looking like she doesn't want to be there at all.
