People read this stuff? Huh. Well anyways, here's chapter 5.
It was early in the morning in the city, and the sun was just rising for the day. Just the previous day, Horatio, Pipistrella, and Yosef had found Sofia, Gluten, and Neo out at the beach and plains, and they were now sleeping soundly at their villa in the city. Or at least everyone but Horatio was, he went by a fixed schedule of going to be at decent times at night, waking up early in the morning. It was a rather effective tactic for farming, as it allowed more time to finish work on the fields in order to allow left over time to do whatever else was needed for the day.
Horatio was currently strolling the hallway that had all the bunks and rooms in it. He carried a cup of coffee with small blueberries dipped in it, a strange habit of his, and took a sip before waking everyone up for the day.
"Time to get up, sleepyheads!" He shouted, banging on a bell right next to him with his hand, sounding a loud ring that woke everyone up from their slumber. The first to leave their room was Yosef, with his hair even more frizzled and wild than normal.
"Bro, it's like 6 in the morning! We can take a few more hours of sleep, soulmate," He slurred, rubbing his eye in fatigue.
"What time do you usually wake up?" Horatio asked curiously, taking another sip of his blueberry coffee.
"Like 1 in the afternoon," Yosef chuckled.
"Well you need a better schedule, and this is a perfect start. Here, take this coffee."
Yosef took the coffee and proceeded down into the dungeon to go retrieve weapons while Horatio waited for everyone else to wake up.
"I said wake up!" He shouted again, banging harder on the bell. Next, Neo and Gluten left their rooms. Gluten looked pretty well, all of his frosting back, and even a little waffle chip in his frosting. Neo looked like he had went through the gates of Hell, however, having his hat on crooked, and staggering in his hovering pattern.
"Told ya I just needed some sleep," Gluten said, walking to the dungeon with Neo, who adjusted his hat on the way. It took longer for the women to get up, he had to hit the bell 3 more times before Sofia and Pipistrella got up.
"Buenos dìas, Horatio," Sofia yawned, walking out of her room. She wore a perfectly shined recruitador helmet, and cleaned clothes from yesterday. Pipistrella did similar, having worn her princess clothes, perfectly cleaned, and the same tiara.
"What took you two so long?" Horatio asked, cocking his head.
"We take time to look good," Pipistrella responded, going downstairs with Sofia to retrieve their weapons and gear, Sofia leaving him a warm smile. Horatio was left there at the end of the hallway, sighing before turning around to go down with them. The dungeon was pretty large, and had racks for armor, weaponry, helmets, hats, bows, and so much more. When Horatio came down, everyone was geared up, and standing around a large, square wooden table in the center of the room, fit for a professional meeting.
Horatio took his spot and leaned against the table, looking to everyone.
"So, we're going with the original plan, right?" Horatio asked, referring to the plan they had made yesterday.
"What is this 'plan' you speak of?" Sofia asked, curious. Right, she wasn't there for that, same as Gluten and Neo.
"Ok, so has Pip told you guys about her dad?" Horatio asked, directing this at newcomers.
"Nope," Neo half-yelled, restraining himself from going all out screaming.
"Never heard of him," Gluten added.
"Who is her padre?" Sofia inquired. "Royalty, I presume from the title 'princess' that Pipistrella holds."
"One word, the attack on the kingdom of Papastrella," Horatio said, causing a moment of silence.
"Dude, that's 7 words," Yosef pointed out, laughing at Horatio's mistake.
"What's a seven?" Horatio asked, confused. It clicked to Yosef then that Horatio had nearly no concept of the mathematical system. Farmers and peasants of the king typically didn't possess too much education. "Well anyways, we're going to get revenge on the guy who killed the king- Helmitor."
"Woah, we're gonna strike out on Helmitor?" Neo shouted, releasing his anxiety into the form of loudness.
"Yeah, we got the forces, we can take him," Yosef added with a grin. He was hyped for the feat ahead.
"So what, we're just gonna prance up to him and kill him? The guy's got a castle surrounding him!" Gluten pointed out, bringing up a important point.
"How do you know that?" Pipistrella asked, looking at Gluten with a confused stare.
"I wandered near it to get to the bridge bandits, I barely made it out without losing my wrapper."
"Nonetheless, we'll take him! I demand his head on a pike. Demand it, you hear me?!" Pipistrella interrupted in fury, making everyone, even Neo, quiet down. "I don't care if we all die doing it, I want him dead!"
"Ok, Pip, but we need a plan if we're to take him out," Horatio said, trying to calm her down. "Gluten, give us a report of Helmitor's castle."
"Well, it's pretty much an area surrounded by 2 walls, and I don't even think there is actually a castle in it, it just protects their camp and their tents, where their helmetites rest. The walls are too thick to be busted through- pure sandstone- however their gates are made of wood, perfect to be smashed in. I think if we move in fast, one group taking out the guards, another the gates, and another the tents, we'll be able to move in fast."
Everyone stood in silence, absorbing the useful information provided. No one really expected Gluten, of all people, to possess the knowledge and to come up with a decent plan to get to Helmitor.
"So, who's going in who's group?" Yosef asked.
"I think Pipistrella and Neo will do best on those gates, and you and me, Yosef, can take out those guards if we move fast. That leaves Sofia and Horatio to take out the tents all round."
"I can work with this," Sofia said, leaning against Horatio.
"Bleh," The voice from the sky groaned. "Romance, perhaps my second hated thing, ever."
"I'll keep it in mind," Horatio whispered to himself.
"We move out in 5 seconds!" Pipistrella interrupted, smashing her scepter on the table and making a noticeable dent in the wood.
"Was that necessary?" Neo asked, more concerned about the table than Pipistrella's mood.
"Yes," she responded before turning around to the exit and walking out, beckoning everyone to follow.
Now out on the cart in the open world, Gluten sat up with Yosef so he may tell him where to go, while everyone else waited in back. They sat in silence for a majority of the trip before deciding to make conversation to help pass time.
"So Horatio, what made you, of all the things to do, to be a blueberry farmer?" Pipistrella asked, polishing her scepter to conceal her desire for revenge.
"Well uh, most of the other markets of farming were taken, and some were just straight up too dangerous to raise Hansel around," He started, digging around in his memory. "Honey and mushroom farming was way too dangerous, too much risk for me, and I never liked carrot or corn farming. So I just took what was left, wheat and blueberry farming."
"I never see you bring in wheat though, just carts of blueberries."
"Well, we need some food left, and it's easy to make bread and such out of wheat. Besides, I get better buyers sometimes, especially from other farms."
"Huh, guess I never really thought about farmers needing to eat. I always supposed they got food from the castle."
"If you like paying all your money for a small chunk of meat, sure. It's much easier to hunt, too dangerous, or just eat your own produce, much healthier."
"My turn!" Neo suddenly screamed, dialing down his tone after he realized his sudden volume spike. "Sofia, why did you take up the recruitador mission and all?"
"Easy, it is a high honor to serve her majesty, especially to help claim a new world for Spain," She replied, brandishing a flag of Spain that had appeared in her hand, showing her patriotism.
"Guess that makes sense. Did anyone else come with you?"
"No, it was a one-crew ship I took. Mostly due to that we ran out of voluntarios for the mission."
"That also makes perfect sense."
"Yes, and so does me killing you all with a flick of my finger," the voice from the sky added darkly.
"Does no one else hear that voice?" Horatio asked, hitting his fist against the wagon floor in annoyance. He was getting fed up with that voice. It had killed his son, possibly caused his blueberry farming partner, Hailey, from dying too, and destroyed his farm.
"Yeah, we hear it, it's just something we've grown used to," Neo said, adjusting his hat out of habit. "Although, it is incredibly annoying at times. Or brutal."
"You think?"
The cart suddenly came to a stop, jerking forward from the sudden halt. Yosef climbed back into the wagon's passenger seats to tell everyone that they were there.
"C'mon guys, we got some business to take care of," He said, hopping out the back of the wagon with his axes. Everyone followed, geared up and ready, and looked around. They were just outside the helmetite's castle. It looked to be finely built, suitable for royalty even if not for the fact of the corpses and piles of helmets scattered. Up to the front gate, there was a massive wooden wall operated by a pulley system. Guarding it was 2 guards with standard issue helmetite helmets, carrying sharp, ergonomic swords with small shields about the size of a dinner plate. Over to the west side of the door, a tipi tent stood, with a red sign of a man with horns on it.
"Hey, don't those two look familiar?" One of the guards suddenly said, referring to Pipistrella and Horatio.
"Yeah… wait, didn't we invade their castle just yesterday? The other remarked, laughing at the bloody memory.
"Good times, good- wait, they're here to assault the castle! Someone sound the alarm, we're under attack!"
To the castle, sirens sounded, whirring loudly. Strange, because most electric powered objects were nearly rendered useless after the disaster of the bear dying. But that didn't matter now, because movements could be seen in the nearby tent, and the guards were now advancing.
"Stick to the plan, guys!" Gluten ordered, running forward with Yosef to take on the guards, while Neo and Pipistrella moved around them to head for the gate. That left Horatio and Sofia to move to the tent before anymore hostiles could appear. As Yosef held off the guards at the gate, Pipistrella relentlessly smashed at the wooden gate with her scepter while Neo used his fire against it, each time shouting wordlessly at it to summon it.
"So, what time are you free, Horatio?" Sofia asked curiously as she and Horatio ran to the tent, stabbing at it with their weapons.
"Uhm, I guess anytime after this, why?" Horatio responded, confused.
"Is it not obvious? I would like to go on a date with you, Mr. Horatio."
"Uh, sure, I suppose that would be fine. How about after th-"
A pixie armored in a light helmet suddenly bursted from the tent, just as soon as the tent caved in on itself, destroying it. The floating pixie only looked back at the destroyed tent to spit at it before flying up a bit into the air and summoning fire down onto Sofia and Horatio. Sofia ducked under Horatio as he attempted to raise his shield in time, only managing to block half of the inferno. The rest stuck, or burnt a bit of skin, which Horatio put out as fast as possible.
To the gate, progress was being made, it was now beginning to degrade, and soon enough it would be reduced to nothing. The two guards from the gate were now dead, propped up against each other. Yosef and Gluten then ran over to their friends in distress to aid them, who were currently in a losing battle.
"I will enjoy cooking you into a medium-well peasant steak!" The armored pixie screamed maniacally, summoning more and more fire. A few sparks of flame landed on Horatio's arm, sizzling the skin it touched, but he just shook it off, ignoring the pain. Behind him, Yosef threw his axes at the pixie, missing once, hitting the second try. Horatio added by thrusting his sword at the flying creature, stabbing it all the way through it's gut. With a shriek, it's wings fell off, and it propelled itself towards the sky, performing a single loop before exploding in a cloud of, well, pixie dust. Coming over to them was Pipistrella and Neo, who had just witnessed the death of the pixie.
"You guys can do that?" Pipistrella asked in amazement, looking at Neo.
"Well, sure, but it's painful as hell, and we only really do it when we die," Neo replied, shifting his fedora. "Don't get any ideas, princess, I'm not dying today."
"Hopefully. Is that gate broken down yet?" Horatio asked, going back to the matter at hand.
"It's about to shatter, so we should hurry now."
The entire group moved over to the gate, just in time to see it cave in, crushing an unfortunate Helmetite standing at the other side of it. Inside the castle courtyard, there were several helmetites, most with swords, one with a mace, and some with short bows. At the very end of it was a staircase leading to a smaller gate, where Horatio presumed Helmitor was awaiting them. Near the gate was a large cannon, empty.
"They've broken through the gate, call everyone to help defend!" One of the helmetites ordered, shifting everyone around the yard. At one end, the large cannon was now being manned by one of the helmetites. The few archers among their ranks fired a stream of arrows. Horatio ran to the front of the group and shielded them, blocking most of the arrows, save for a small few that missed them entirely.
"Move up!" Yosef commanded, running to the left with Gluten and Pipistrella, heading to the gate. Horatio, Sofia, and Neo went to the right, towards the cannon. As they proceeded, the cannon fired an explosive ball of fire into the air, landing right behind Horatio and his friends where they had just been moments before.
"Cover me!" The helmetite operating the cannon shouted, causing 2 swordsmen and the mace wielder to come to their aid. One of the helmetites wielding a sword got within range to attack Horatio, taking a swipe with his sword and causing a nasty cut to his arm. Another came close enough to Neo to take a stab, however the pixie jerked out of the way in time, cackling at his deception.
"Take fire!" He cried, firing balls of flame at the helmetites. All around them, the grass burned, feeding a rising fire. One of the helmetites were caught in the flame, screaming in agony as he rolled on the ground, fruitlessly trying to extinguish himself. "Ha ha! Who wants more?"
Next to Horatio, some of the fire caught Sofia's dress, catching it on fire. She immediately went to stomp it out, but not before it turned a 4th of her dress to burnt cloth.
"We better stay away from that fire- it doesn't care what it burns, it'll take whatever is nearest," Horatio noted cautiously, sounding extremely lame.
"Booooo! Go home, you single soccer dad without a kid!" The voice from the sky jeered. Either way, Sofia heeded his obvious advice, though Neo declined to it.
"I'm a pixie, Horatio; pixies are immune to fire!" He shouted involuntarily.
"I thought we said no shouting."
"I'm using my outside voice!"
One of the helmetites found a path through the deadly flames and thrusted their sword, piercing Neo's leg.
"Ow!" He yelled in pain, clutching his wound. Another helmetite followed—the mace wielder— who swung his mace right at Neo's ribs, a nasty crunch sounding.
"Quit it!" Neo shouted in anger, coughing up red. "Guys, help me out!"
"What about the fire?" Horatio asked, eyeing the burning substance, still sizzling the ground beneath Neo.
"Fight through the pain, you baby, and help!"
Taking a leap of faith, Horatio and Sofia listened, running through the fire and combating the helmetites. Fortunately, none of the fire got on their clothes. Unfortunately, it was still pipin-hot at 425 degrees; not the feeling of love. Horatio crashed his shield right into one of the helmetites, dazing them, before stabbing them through the chest. Next to him, Sofia was locked into a duel with the mace-wielder. A low whistle sounded through the air, and Horatio looked up to see another rocket incoming, aiming right at them.
"Scatter!" He shouted, running to a safer distance, followed by Neo. Behind them, Sofia rammed right through the hostile she was engaged in combat with and took to cover, seconds before the bomb fell, incinerating the helmetite on the ground.
"You guys okay?" Neo asked, checking his allies for wounds.
"I'm fine," Horatio grunted, looking around for any more helmetites.
"Si," Sofia added, panting.
"Alright, let's keep on moving to that cannon!" Neo commanded, leading the charge. Horatio and Sofia followed the pixie up to the cannon, where a single helmetite stood, manning the cannon.
"I need back-" the helmetite began, turning his head to see the three assailants next to him before stopping mid-sentence. His heart dropped a thousand miles then. "up…"
"Adios," Sofia silently said, stabbing the man with her rapier and ending his life. Up to the gate, Pipistrella was slaying helmetite after helmetite, the stairs leading up to the gate littered with victims of her. Behind her, Gluten and Yosef desperately tried to destroy the gate, though it was slow effort, with Gluten's lack of weapons, and Yosef's blunt axes.
"Looks like they need some help," Horatio noted. "Let's roll!"
Horatio, Sofia, and Neo went over to the staircase, coming in to see that no helmitites remained, all of them dead. At the top of the stairs, Pipistrella was now bashing her scepter into the gate relentlessly, leaving Gluten to tend to her and Yosef's wounds.
"Step aside, weaklings!" Neo exclaimed, coming up the stairs and blasting the wooden gate with fire, burning it at an accelerated pace. Pipistrella and Yosef managed to get out of the way in time, coming down the stairs to meet Sofia and Horatio as Gluten changed focus to Neo's wounds.
"Guys, we're about to end this, once and for all," Pipistrella said boldly, brandishing her bloody mace. "Are you ready?"
"Ready as I'll ever be… probably," Yosef said, a grin on his face.
"For Españia, I am always ready," Sofia added.
They looked to Horatio.
"Ready," he said, raising his shield and sword.
"Then let's do this!" Pipistrella shouted, running up the stairs while uttering a battle cry," For Papastrella!"
The gate withered down to the ground just as she and her allies came up. Inside, Helmitor stood with 3 helmetites, two of which were archers, one being a swordsman. Behind them was the same rocket shuttle they had used during their escape of Papastrella's castle.
"Too late princess!" Helmitor rasped, "we're to be going now. You stay here and babysit the house like a nice princess, would you?"
"Not again!" Pipistrella growled as Helmitor and his minions boarded the shuttle, closing the hatch inside of it behind them. The engines of the shuttle revved up, and was readying to go. "Hurry, get on that shuttle!"
She ran to the wing of the shuttle, followed by her friends, and got a firm grip on, right as it blasted off into the sky. Quickly, the earth below them disappeared, and soon enough, they were in dark space, surrounded by void. Somehow, they were all still breathing, despite being in the vacuum of space, where air was non-existent.
"Wait, how is this possible?" Gluten asked, noting the elephant in the room, or for a better way to put it, the quantum elephant in the science club. Looking at you, quantum physics.
"It doesn't matter, we can question this later," Pipistrella said, ignoring the fact that they all had the extensive ability to breath in space.
"Hold on," Yosef interrupted suddenly, turning to Neo. "How are you hovering in space, dude? There isn't anything holding us down."
"I… I… I don't know anymore!" Neo shouted, clutching his head.
"Focus!" Pipistrella shouted, stomping her foot down on the metal wing they stood on. "We need to get inside this shuttle, and rip Helmitor's head off!"
"How are we going to do that?" Horatio asked," the hatch is closed, and I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that its locked, too. What do you suggest us do, bang the walls of the shuttle in?"
"Great idea, Señor Horatio," Sofia said, supporting the idea.
"Better than waiting around," Pipistrella added as she started to whack the side of the shuttle with her scepter. Next followed Sofia and Yosef, who joined in on hitting the shuttle side.
"I was being sarcastic…" Horatio muttered, watching as Gluten and Neo joined them. Nonetheless, their plan actually succeeded, as soon enough the side of the shuttle ripped open, air getting sucked out of the tear and flung out into space. Inside, Helmitor stood with his minions, manning the craft, before noticing that their ship had been busted in.
"What the- why are there freeloaders aboard the ship?!" Helmitor shouted angrily, looking to the helmetite next to him, who was the pilot. "It doesn't matter, just kill them!"
Pipistrella led everyone inside the ship just as the helmetites moved forward to fight, and the two sides clashed. Yosef and Neo dueled a pair of archers, Pipistrella soloed Helmitor himself, Gluten, Horatio, and Sofia on the lone swordsman.
"Hutta!" Horatio grunted, swinging his sword at the man. The blade, however, harmlessly glanced of the man's helmet. In retaliation, the man brung down his own sword on Horatio, who made a split-second decision and raised his shield to block it.
"Excellent move," Sofia complimented to Horatio as she stabbed the helmetite with her saber. Over to the archers, they were both in a heap, and Neo and Yosef were now moving to Helmitor. Pipistrella hit Helmitor on his kneecap, not crippling him, but sure as hell causing some damage.
"Ow!" He yelped in sudden pain.
"That's for Papastrella!" Pipistrella shouted angrily, hitting him again, this time to his helmet. On impact, it broke in half, revealing… a bird's head?
"My helmet!" Helmitor squawked in surprise.
"What, really?" The last standing helmetite said in confusion, looking to his boss.
"I did not see that coming, I will admit," Horatio commented, his eyebrows raised in surprise, too.
"Doesn't matter, he's dead either way!" Pipistrella interrupted in rage, throwing her scepter like a boomerang at Helmitor, which came around and hit him in the side of the head with a crack, and flying back to Pipistrella's hand.
"Squawk!" Helmitor screeched as he died, his deceased body starting to floating off into space.
"Uh, I think I'm gonna go," The last helmetite said nervously, jumping out of the shuttle with his boss's corpse. "Seeya!"
Pipistrella turned to everyone and raised her scepter in victory, everyone cheering.
"Oh, yes, amazing job everyone!" The voice suddenly shouted sarcastically, "I bet you feel so proud of yourselves, don't you, you insignificant mites?"
The top of the shuttle was suddenly ripped off, shaking the vessel and everyone in it. From above, a massive bear with glowing red eyes and purple fur was seen. It had sharp fangs, 4 arms, and an angry drawn on its face.
"You lot are quite good at surviving what the universe throws at you, metaphorically and literally. You're also good at being a rather annoying pain in my posterior!"
"What in the ever-loving blueberries?" Horatio muttered in surprise.
"Dude, really?" Yosef asked next to him.
"Not important right now!"
Next to them, their friends looked at the bear in both awe and surprise, amazed that this was the voice all along- a giant space bear. It looked similar to the one that had crashed into Earth not too long ago.
"Oh, was I crashing a party for you all?" The bear asked in mock surprise, putting one of his gargantuan paws to his chest. "Why don't you show it? Put smiles on those faces of yours. After all, you did avenge king big belly."
"That was uncalled for and exceptionally rude," Neo remarked, crossing his arms. Another one of the bear's paws suddenly stretched down to the shuttle, placing two claws to Pipistrella's mouth and creating a forced smile, the bear laughing in amusement.
"There! Now this is a cheerful mood."
"Hey, stop that!" Horatio shouted, slashing a sword at one of the claws. Withdrawing his paw, the bear looked at Horatio in faint interest.
"Ah, Horatio, always trying to play the protagonist in a world where there is no hero," He plainly said. The bear's eyebrows suddenly raised up as he added, "Oh, and Horatio? I have a question for you, to heal broken bones."
"What is it?" Horatio spat.
"Do you like Hansels?"
"W-what?"
The bear raised another one of it's paws, with a small human boy in it's claws. It looked just like…
"Hansel!" Horatio suddenly shouted, dropping both his sword and shield. A storm of emotions was zipping through his head, a mash-up of confusion, sadness, anger, and happiness.
"Papa!" Hansel called, wriggling in the bear's claws.
"Ah, so you didn't forget him, unfortunately," the bear noted in mock disappointment. "Lame as always, Bore-atio."
"Let him go, you animal!" Horatio yelled angrily, clenching his fists in rage.
"Aw, now no need to be negative. Hansel is my friend, aren't you?"
"Let me go, I want my dad!" Hansel protested desperately, squirming in the bear's grip.
"How about a compromise to your dilemma? I give you iced creams, and you don't get your dad. Sounds fair?"
The bear raised up a tiny ice cream cone with three flavors mixed in, offering it to Hansel. The boy smacked it away, causing the malicious smile on the bear's face to melt off, replaced with an angry frown.
"Fine, then you can just starve!" The bear shouted at the boy, only adding to Horatio's mounting fury. "Back on track, I think it's time, Horatio, that-"
"You see that bear there?!" Horatio exclaimed to his friends in fury, "I'm going to tear him a new hide, you hear me?!"
"I think it's time that-"
"I'M GOING TO KILL HIM!"
Around Horatio, his friends started to slowly back away from Horatio, sensing extreme hostility.
"I never knew Horatio could get that mad," Neo whispered to Yosef.
"Me neither, and I'm his soulmate, I know this stuff!" Yosef added.
The bear waited silently as he let Horatio rant on how he would kill him, the bear, a little longer until his patience wore paper-thin.
"Shut up!" the bear interrupted, causing everyone to stop what they were doing and look up at him. "I think it's time that you and your ragtag team of flunkies return home to your miserable bag of filth that you dare call a home and rot in ruin and despair for the rest of your days!"
He picked up the ship with one paw and flung it at high speed to Earth, everyone inside pressed up against one end of the ship as it went.
"Sayonara!" the bear added, echoing his words as he saw the shuttle fly back to earth. In his hand, Hansel stopped squirming to look. "It means 'go die' in Japanese."
"I don't think that's what it means," Hansel noted, confused.
"Pshh, like you would know, farmer boy."
"Just saying, I don't think that's what it means."
"Whatever… man, I just feel grumpy today, I knew I should have ate something for breakfast."
"I'm hungry too!"
"Then you should have ate those iced creams I gave you, then."
"..."
"That's what I thought. Hey, I got a question for you."
"What?"
"How are you guys breathing in space; right here?"
"Uhm… what is space?"
"Right. You see, space is…"
Back down on Earth, the shuttle had already landed in the city, having crashed into one of it's sturdy walls and lodging itself in it. Everyone inside the shuttle had safely landed, and were now regrouping below the crashed spaceship.
"Bro, that little kid looked kinda like you," Yosef started.
"That was my kid, Hansel!" Horatio exclaimed, his emotions rising back up again. "We gotta get back up there and get him back!"
"Horatio, how in the ever loving world are we going to get to space?" Gluten asked, putting his hands on his sides.
"I can answer that," Yosef spoke up. "We can get my eye back!"
"You have another eye?" Horatio asked curiously, looking at him.
"Well sure I do! All demi-clops and cyclops have their second eyes up in Olympus. We just need to get my friend to help me get it back."
"Will your eye help us get my son back?"
"'Course it will, I think."
"Then let's roll out already!"
So papa is still looking for me!
Unfortunately.
Does that mean I'll have to go soon?
Not quite. I doubt Horatio will survive long enough to find his idiot friend's eye, wherever it is.
Who?
You know, the blondie. One eye. With the axes?
Never heard of him.
Oh well, it doesn't matter, nothing does, really.
