"The Brave 12 and the Scotsman Part 2"
The Brave 12 were eating lunch at a bar when they saw some bounty hunters watching them.
"What are you all looking at?" J.D. asked.
They were looking at Jack with intense greed.
They charged towards J.D. and Vince, who sliced them all.
"That was a waste of our time," Varie commented.
"Yep," Naruto nodded.
"Hey lads and lassies," someone said with a Scottish accent. "Remember me?"
It was their friend, the Scotsman.
"It's been a while, Scotsman," J.D. replied.
"Aye," answered the Scotsman. "It has. I need your help with something. My wife has been kidnapped."
"You are married?" Jack asked.
"Aye," answered the Scotsman. "She is the most lovely bonnie lass in the world. I have to save her before the Moon is full."
"That's tomorrow night," J.D. responded.
"Where is she?" Jack asked.
"The Castle of Boon," sniffled the Scotsman. The Celtic Master of the Hunt plans to devour her. She's so dainty and sweet." He begins to cry. "The Master of the Hunt is so very scary!"
"Try to calm yourself," Naruto urged.
"I cannot," the Scotsman responded. "I cannot save her on my own, and I am forbidden by ancient custom to seek help from warriors of my own clan. I alone am no match for the army of Celtic Demons that infest the castle. But there's a loophole in the ancient custom. Me clan drew and rolled the bones. They said, "Seek the Help of a Stranger". You're the only strangers I know, and you're as strange as they come laddies and lassies. And powerful too. Together, you 12 and I can save my wife before it's too late!" He starts crying again.
"Calm down," J.D. advised. "We will gladly help you."
They then went to the Highlands, where the Scotsman told them all about his wife and how wonderful she was as they ran.
They arrived in the Scottish Highlands.
"Wow!" remarked J.D.
"So these are the Scottish Highlands," Varie commented.
"It's beautiful," Vince added.
"It sure is," Sakura agreed.
"No kidding," Naruto agreed.
They then ran to the Scotsman's Clan's Castle.
He introduced them to his clan, and it was a memorable occasion. They had arrived at the Castle of Boon that night.
"The Castle of Boon!" cried the Scotsman. "Getting in will be easy."
"Wait," J.D. ordered. "It's far too easy."
He picked up a rock and threw it, and when it landed near the entrance, a group of strange red demon robots with guns emerged.
"Oh," the Scotsman murmured. "Celtic Demons."
"Those things are ugly," Laney commented.
"No kidding," Lily replied.
"It's just 7," the Scotsman pointed out.
"There are hundreds of them in the Castle," J.D. explained. "We must find a way around them. I've got an idea. Follow me."
"We will," Jack agreed.
They climb up the walls and go into the Castle, and we find the Scotsman wife in a dungeon. She was a beautiful woman.
"Darling!" cried the Scotsman's wife with a Scottish accent.
"Bonnie Lass!" the Scotsman cried.
They hugged.
"Thank goodness you're safe," J.D. said, relieved.
"Me, too," responded the Scotsman's Wife. "Ach, the Brave 12. It's such a pleasure to meet you lads and lassies."
"It's a pleasure, too," J.D. replied.
"We came to rescue you," Sakura explained.
"Yeah," Fu agreed. "We have to go."
"Let's get out of this dump," J.D. suggested.
They ran to the main hall, only to be met by a horde of Celtic Demons.
"We have to fight our way out," J.D. explained.
"Let's fight them!" shouted the Scotsman.
They unsheathe their swords and slash apart lots of demons. They blasted and destroyed many of them until there was nothing left of them.
"That takes care of them," J.D. remarked.
"Aye," answered the Scotsman.
"Silence!"
They saw the overlord of the Celtic Demons, the Master of the Hunt.
"The Moon is Full," declared the Overlord. "Destroy the rest and toss the young woman in the pot."
"I don't think so, freak!" J.D. shouted.
"Silence!" ordered the Overlord.
J.D. hit the overlord in the stomach, knocking him to the ground, and then blasted him into nothingness.
"That takes care of him," J.D. said. "All right, let's go."
They returned to the Castle, where they were welcomed as heroes. They were treated to a big celebratory feast.
