"Uh... This place sure is creepy at night!" Elgar said to himself as he made his way through the seemingly deserted base.
"Hmm... I wonder where everybody went?" Elgar asked himself silently, as he walked through the pitch dark base.
"They probably went on some kind of super, secret mission... and they didn't tell me!" he said to himself.
"Hello?! Where is everybody?!" he shouted out, putting his hands up to the side of his cheeks, but no one answered.
"Well, how do you like that? I go off for one day, and everybody disappears!" Elgar said to himself, still scouring the base for any sign of life, he walks a few more feet, only to run into someone or something behind him, which causes him to jump.
"Ah! Who are you?" Elgar asked as he turned around to see just who, or what he ran into.
"I could ask you same the question." Deviot answered back, stepping out of the shadows to fully reveal himself.
"Who am I? Why, I'm Elgar! Who the heck are you supposed to be?" Elgar asked.
"Very well, you simpleton... I am Deviot!" Deviot replied back.
"Deviot, huh? Never heard of you!" said Elgar.
"Hmm... You must be another one of Dark Specter's lackeys..." Deviot attempted to say under his breath, but it was completely understandable by Elgar.
"Lackey?! Hey, I'm no lackey! You take that back!" Elgar demanded as he approached Deviot.
"Silence! One more step, and I'll blast you into dust!" Deviot said as he pointed his controller at Elgar.
"On second thought, you can say whatever you want to me, Mr. Deviot... sir!" Elgar replied as he took a few steps back in fear.
"Tell me why I shouldn't destroy you here and now?! Deviot asked, still pointing his controller at Elgar.
"Uh... You don't want to kill me! I'm too young to die, not to mention handsome!" Elgar said, as he continued to take a few steps back waiving his hands back and forth in the air.
"Besides, I look terrible after being blown up, trust me!" Elgar said.
"Very well, you have convinced me... After all, a genius of my caliber shouldn't have to waste his time on a simpleton such as yourself..." Deviot said as he lowered his controller.
"Wait a minute!" Deviot quickly said, as he pointed his controller at Elgar yet again.
"Ah! What now?!" Elgar asked as he put his hands to his head, attempting to defend himself should Deviot blast him.
"How do I know you're not some sort of spy?" Deviot asked.
"Do I look like I'm smart enough to be a spy to you?!" Elgar replied.
"You have a good point, my ugly friend...."
"Very well then... I'll spare you're miserable life..."
"You just consider yourself lucky, Elgar... Not many people have come face to face with me and lived to tell about it... So, pat yourself on the back..."
"Gee, thanks! I... Wait a minute! Just exactly who are you, anyway?"
"And what, pray tell, makes you think I'll divulge that information to you?"
"Oh, come on! You can tell me!"
"Very well, I'll tell you... After all, what could a fool like yourself do with such information?"
"That's the spirit! Now out with it!"
"Very well... Considering that Darkonda is a loose cannon that could very well blow at any second, Dark Specter came to me and asked for my help, and now... should Darkonda, with his treacherous ways, fail Dark Specter... That's when I'll step in and help his plans succeed."
"Really?" asked Elgar.
"Yes, really... and if you tell a soul what I just told you, I'll make sure you never open up your mouth again!" Deviot threatened.
"Alright! Alright! Relax, I won't tell anyone, alright?" replied Elgar.
"You had better not!" Deviot said as he walked off.
"Talk about copping and attitude, jeez!" Elgar said.
"Hello, Elgar!" said Darkonda as he appeared out of nowhere.
"Ah! Where'd you come from?" Elgar asked, startled at his sudden appearance.
"Oh, I've been around!" Darkonda replied as he suddenly tackled Elgar to the ground, holding his sword over him.
"Ah! I don't know nothing you hear?! Nothing!" Elgar said.
"Who was that you were talking too then?" Darkonda asked.
"Oh, that! Heh, heh... that was nobody, honest!" replied Elgar.
"Well then... Too bad I don't believe you!" Darkonda said.
"Now... Tell me what you know,or I'll slice you into pieces!" Darkonda threatened.
"No way! I'm no snitch!" Elgar replied.
"Alright! I'm a snitch! I'm a snitch! I'll tell you, alright!" Elgar said as Darkonda brought his sword in closer, prepared to slice him in half.
"Spill it then!" Darkonda demanded.
"Dark Specter's hired a guy by the name of Deviot to..." Elgar began.
"Deviot?! Did you say Deviot?!" Darkonda interrupted.
"You know him?" Elgar asked.
"Yes... I know him, and I hate his guts!"
"Dark Specter is a fool to trust him, as soon as he turns his back, he'll stab him in the back as soon as he can!"
"And you won't?" Elgar said, this causes Darkonda to hiss in anger.
"Hey... Why are you looking at me like that?! Hey, wait a minute! Nooooooooooo!"
"Ahhhhh!" Elgar screamed, as he was thrown through a glass window.
"Fool..." Darkonda said softly, then walked off.
"Was it something I said?" Elgar asked, as he used his hands to lean up off the wet grass.
