"I'm back in the fucking prison area." Swore Taylor, looking at the doors. "Fuck my life."

Then she stood up and walked through the doors, back towards the giant crow's nest.

There were a few Hollow between her and there, but she managed to dispatch them with her shiny new spear.

Things were going well. So, naturally, she walked right over a trap.

The floor collapsed from under her, and she fell.

Miraculously, she survived the fall. Groaning, she got to her feet, slowly, and looked in front of her.

A perfect copy of the monster that had sat on her earlier was standing before her.

"You have got to be kidding me." She said.


"So, you're this 'Solaire' guy?" Asked Jack.

"That would be me, yes." Said the heavily-armoured man. Jack stopped himself from snickering at the picture of a sun on his chest.

"Did you wish to speak with me?" Asked Solaire.

"Uh, no." Said Jack. "Taylor did, and she's off at the last bonfire she used. She needs to ride a crow to get here."

"Is there not a bonfire nearby?" Asked Solaire.

"There is." Replied Jack. "She just didn't use it."

Solaire shook his head. "When will people learn?"

Jack shrugged, and there was silence.

Solaire returned to staring at the sun. "Oh, what a wonderful thing." He said.

"What is? Cancer? Yeah, Bonesaw weaponized it a while ago. Set things up so that it spreads to anyone who hits me, her or Crawler with a laser beam. You should have seen Legend's face when it happened while I was holding his husband hosta-"

"I meant the sun." Interrupted Solaire.

"Oh." Said Jack. "...Yeah, it's great, I guess."

"A wondrous body." Mused Solaire. "Like a magnificent father!"

Jack Slash took a step away from the nutter.

"If only I could be so grossly incandescent..."

Jack turned around. "I'll be going now." He said. "Be back... Whenever."

Jack promptly began walking back into Undead Burg. Solaire looked at the Hellkite Dragon.

"Do you think he'll meet the Black Knight?"

A few seconds later, Jack came running back from Undead Burg, towards Solaire.

"Talk later." he said, dropping his right arm and brain. "Run."

A second later, the Black Knight followed.

"Aha!" Declared Solaire, as the Black Knight threw a Hollow at Jack, knocking him through a building. "A challenge!"


Taylor glared at the Stray Demon.

The Stray Demon glared at Taylor.

They moved simultaneously, hoping to end this battle quickly.

The Stray Demon dropped it's huge fist onto the ground. Taylor held her hand out straight.

"Hah! Paper beats Rock!" She declared, moving to leave.

The demon glared, then moved it's club.

Taylor died another gruesome death as the magic explosion tore her apart.


The Black Knight laid dead at Solaire's feet, as Jack removed his skull from his stomach.

"A powerful foe." Noted Solaire. "But finally, the Undead Burg Black Knight is dead."

Jack stopped. "Wait. Are there more of these?"

"Of course!" Declared Solaire. "In fact, this one was wounded! Did you notice it's limp?"

"I was a bit preoccupied with it splattering my internal organs when it kicked my manhood."

Solaire winced in sympathy, as did the Hellktie Dragon.

The Black Knight stared glowing blue.

"Oh, they do that, that's right." Noted Solaire. "Better loot it fast."

"Now you're speaking my language." Said Jack.

The two of them managed to loot the Black Knight's sword, helmet and gloves, before the corpse disappeared in a flurry of blue particles.

"Dibs." Said Jack, putting on the helm.

"I have no objections." Said Solaire. "My current blade and armour are more then sufficient for me."

Jack paused. "Really? No haggling? No killing me for the valuable stuff?"

"Why would I do that?" Asked Solaire.

And thus did Jack decide to recruit Sunbro, so that he can have the best loot without having to kill things that would make Crawler squee like a little girl.


Taylor swore.

After dying another five times to a bunch of torch-wielding Hollow's, she had decided to return to her old cell, in order to find somewhere to sleep.

But then a nine foot tall man in black armour had decided to practice throwing lightening spears at her.

Worse yet, after a few hours of dodging it's shockingly accurate throws, she had arrived at her cell to find that the place had started leaking. Which meant to things.

First, she couldn't sleep on the wet floor.

Second, she slipped over and hit her head.

Oddly enough, there was also a peculiar doll in the cell, that certainly was not there before. Taylor picked it up as she ran from the Black Knight.

Eventually, she got a bit off... Unexpected help.

The Black Knight was about to hit her in the eye with a spear that seemed different to the others, as if it were made of sunlight, when it was hit on the back with a fireball.

It turned to face it's attacker, as lava dripper down it's armour.

"Just place the doll, they said." Muttered Xanthious King, Jeremiah. "The girl won't be back until she's strong enough, they said. I really feel like hitting Gywndolin right now."


"Let me get this straight." Said Jack. "I just need to offer ten of these shiny medals to this statue, and I get to throw lightening?"

"Well..." Began Solaire. "You need to have the faith to-"

"Can I borrow ten Sunlight Medals?" Asked Jack.

"Sure!" Said Solaire. "Anything for an ally."

Jack grinned as he offered the medals to the statue.

He then stood up, and made a throwing motion. Nothing happened.

Jack frowned. "By the power of Grayskull!" He declared, making another throwing motion. Again nothing happened.

Jack continued making throwing motions, making declarations as he did so.

"Link, start!"

"Raising Heart, set up!"

"This looks like a job for the Techno Queen!"

Nothing worked.

Jack turned to Solaire. "How do I shoot Lightening?"

Solaire didn't hear him. He was to busy contemplating the sun's Gross Incandescence.
