Chapter 4: Bale and the King of Sandwiches

Wesley: So this is Bale.

Melvin: Yup.

Ania: Doesn't look that impressive to me.

Melvin: Ya know what, I -- oof!!

(A woman carrying a baby on her back bumped into the trio as she raced to get outta Bale)

Woman: HEY! Watch where you're going!!

Ania: You ran into us!!

Woman: Shhh!!! You made the baby cry!!

Baby: Tee!!

Woman: *to her baby* Yes, we're going to find Tee...shhh...

Melvin: That doesn't look to me like the kid's crying

Wesley: Who's Tee?

Ania: You know who you look like, ma'am?

Woman: I really don't have time. I really need to get out of here.

(And so the woman left, with the baby still shouting "Tee!" Our heroes stood in the middle of the rode, staring at each other for a minute, trying to figure out what just happened)

Ania: I coulda sworn that woman looked like --

Melvin: And I coulda sworn that we were going to the Castle to go talk with the King, but it seems like we are just standing around wondering about a rude woman!! Let's go already!!

Wesley: You don't have to be so snippy.

Ania: Snippy?

(So the three arguing teenagers walked toward Indels Castle, but not before enabling a drunkard's alcoholism just so they could get to a boat and ride around Bale. When they entered the Castle, random knights greeted Melvin while they wandered trying to find the throne room. When they found it, and the person sitting on the throne, they were at a lose for words.)

Ania and Melvin: Ah hell no!!

Boberto: Yeess! Hey! Get me another sandwich!

Servant: *gets a sandwich and gives it to Boberto*

Boberto: Heelllss yes!

Ania: It's just not fair.

Wesley: Umm....hello, King?

Boberto: Oh. Wassup, Melvin! I heard you're knighthood all died

Melvin: Yeah...basically

Boberto: That sucks...anyways, you hear to get more info bout the war, huh?

Melvin: Yeah.

Boberto: Well, I'll get Minister Vicente -- he's really the one who knows all the war shit. Vicente!

Minister Vicente: Yes?

Boberto: I think it's time to start the war meeting

Minister Vicente: Yeah, okay

Wesley: Before you start that, can you tell me about the Black Monster?

Minister Vincente: Why the hell would you wanna know that?

Wesley: Because he censored killed my parents and my entire hometown!!

Minister: Oh! You're a survivor of Neet?!

Wesley: I thought you were supposed to be smart

Minister Vicente: Temper, temper. Well, I don't know much about the Black Monster, but I do know about the Dragon Campaign....

Wesley: I really don't care about a campaign for dragons...

Minister Vicente: I don't care that you don't care. You have to listen to me anyways -- number one, because it's the most lines I have in this damn game and number two, because the Dragon Campaign is actually a war that happened 11,000 years ago which will become more and more important as the game progresses.

Ania: Oh goody, a history lesson

Melvin: I told ya he was smart

Minister Vicente: Yes I am....anyways years before the Dragon Campaign, Winglies ruled the world and enslaved all the species --

Wesley: Winglies? Someone was creative

Minister Vicente: Don't interrupt. The Humans got sick of it so they formed an army under the direction of Emperor Diaz and the seven Dragoons -- seven warriors who used the power of the dragon to fight (hence, Dragon Campaign)

All: Ohhhhh.....{I still don't get it}

Minister Vicente: Yeesss...now that everyone understands {not really}....the Liberation Army of Humans, headed by the Dragoons and Emperor Diaz, defeated the Winglies 11,000 years ago therefore ending the war and freeing the species from slavery!

All: Yay!

(Now that actually is supposed to be a video, just so ya know)

Wesley: How does that relate to the Black Monster?

Minister Vicente: Well, shortly after the Dragon Campaign ended the Black Monster appeared and started massacring towns, but no one really knows why. Sorry, can't help ya there.

Wesley: Grrr....

[Hehehe...I know why....]

Boberto: Well, I guess we'd better start the war meeting...

Wesley: Wait, I have one last request!

Boberto: {Demanding little....}Okay, what do you want?

Wesley: Can Ania stay in the Castle here with you?

Ania: WHAT?!

Melvin: Woohoo!

Boberto and Vicente: NOO!!

Wesley: Why not?! I mean, the only reason I would leave her here is, of course, for her safety..hehe....

Melvin: Plus the fact that she's ANNOYING!!

Ania: You know I have weapons and I'm not afraid to use them...

Melvin: So do I...

Boberto: You still can't leave her here! Look, Sandora has captured a dragon and they're using it against us. If the dragon attacks, Bale'll probably be its first target and we can't defend the Castle against a dragon.

Wesley: Probably that same damn dragon that attacked me...

Ania: Well at least SOMEONE cares about my safety....

Boberto: Really, who?

Ania: *profanities*

Boberto: Alright everyone I'm starting the war meeting! Ania, Wesley, you two go wander the Castle I don't care what the hell you do.

Wesley and Ania: Well, can we...

Boberto: No.

Wesley and Ania: Damn! *Both walk out onto balcony*

(Well, we all know what Wesley and Ania are going to say on the balcony, so let's listen in on the war meeting, shall we?)

Boberto: So anyone catch the Dodgers game last night?

Melvin: Nah, don't really care for baseball

Random Knight: What is this baseball you speak of?

Minister Vicente: Hey! I thought we were supposed to be talking about the war? Hence, war meeting?

Boberto: It doesn't matter, I don't control what happens to these guys anyways -- I'm just a character in the game I'm not the one playing it.

Minister Vicente: Good point.

Boberto: Of course, I'm the king! Speaking of which, where's my sandwich?!

(How enlightening. Okay, back onto the balcony)

Wesley: You think we can see Seles from here?

Ania: No, stupid. Seles is over the mountain -- plus it burned down, remember?

Wesley: Right.

Melvin: Hey guys

Wesley: How was the "war meeting?"

Melvin: Enlightening....anyways, I'm heading to Hoax to defend against the dragon. You two wanna come with?

Wesley: Sure

Ania: Whatever

(The two of them start to leave...)

Melvin: What, no inspirational self-discovery music?

Wesley: *raises a hand apathetically*

(CUE INSPIRATIONAL SELF-DISCOVERY MUSIC!!!)

*Inspirational self-discovery music plays*

Melvin: Alright.....whatever, let's go.

Wesley: Wait, don't we hafta visit your mom?

Melvin: I have a mom?

Ania: Well you had to come from SOMEWHERE didn't you?

Melvin: Well, yeah, but this is a video game...

Wesley: Screw it, I'm getting bored with this town anyways, let's just go to Hoax

[That was...interesting...]
