Well, it's time for me to go tramping out again. Here's...the next chapter. Enjoy.
********
Trampled Underfoot
Chapter 2:
Gladiator
So, now I am in Dulon
With my braniac friend Lumiere
On assignment.
This seems to be a dog-eat-dog world.
And my senses could fail me.
Director Eclipse comes calling.
I have a lot to roll of my chest.
Mission successful.
I am relieved,
(Despite being spontaneous,
To say the least)
But not relieved about Alv and Dvergr
Taking over.
I'm getting a headache,
And so is she.
One affects the other.
That's the thing about us
ES Members.
We could be too strong
For our own good.
Eclipse stresses teamwork.
No bickering and disputing,
Otherwise the cause at hand
Is lost.
It's an excellent concept.
And I concede.
There's this other ES member
From Dulon named Dain.
He's weird.
But then again, weird just doesn't
Describe him completely.
We concede, and are obligated
To provide him assistance.
Nice.
Off to work we go.
Lumiere senses a poor connection to GOTT.
But for now, it's trivial and classified.
The President tries to mediate with excuses,
But it is all for naught.
Naturally.
At the Government Building,
Lumiere does some work
On the computers.
System hacked
In two seconds.
Incredible, you say.
But I think it's not surprising
For an advanced Noble like Lumiere.
She confirms the President's doings,
But there are some stragglers in the data,
Confirming a money flow outside of the government's budget.
Someone must be behind this, she says,
While suffering another migraine.
A shock, and her hands were
Bounced out of the computer.
Another bad connection.
It's settled.
Looks like it's time to make the President
Yank the cat out of the bag.
Barging in, I fall into an abyss.
This is pretty bad.
And so the saying, "Look before you leap"
Gives validation.
It's a good thing I used my lipstick-ribbon
As a lifeguard.
Meanwhile, Lumiere peruses
A computer
That brings service
With a push of a button.
I land into an underground cave,
And I see a few stray corpses,
And...a monster.
To my surprise, someone takes care of that
Ugly creature for me
In no time.
It's Dain, the old sleazebag himself.
The President makes his presence known.
This is a colosseum,
Similar to the ones on Earth
(Rome, especially)
Centuries ago,
When gladiators would kill
Lions and tigers and bears (oh my!).
And in this case, the President is the Emperor.
Too many monsters.
I don't know who Russell Crowe
Or Maximus is,
But it seems I'm gonna have to play him
For a while.
Done with. Easily.
Time to finish this off.
Lumiere gets the cops,
And it is settled.
Me and Dain? A good combination?
I don't think so.

Feedback. Flames will roast the Dulon Prez...heheheh....
