[spoiler]Look at just the picture, not the words that happen to be on the web page.[/spoiler]
[b]Fortis and his large group of soldiers and assorted Dojo members had reached Alpha-Tui. Over the hill rose a large gate, and beyond an even larger citadel.[/b]
"This is supposedly the place where we will find the one who will forge the relic. Be careful though, there may be a few around here that will not like our presence."

"Pretty cool, huh? And now we are officially... outside radio length! We can now talk about Fortis without him knowing." "What should we talk about first? His plan for the dojo, or project exodus?"
-
Dojo plan?
-
"Ok. But first, some backstory. We are not loyal to Fortis. We were at some point, but eventually he turned... cruel. He started plotting wicked things. He has set bounties on multiple of the dojo' most powerful members. Destanius tried to talk him out of it, but he threw Destanius into some strange chemical vat he was experimenting with. Audax is programmed never to question higher authority. So now, no one can stand up to Fortis once he gets his hands on the relic. We have to stop him. Ok, now for the dojo plan. Fortis knew that the dark creatures attacking the dojo would come. He just chose the dojo to hide because he knew that they could hold them off long enough. He never actually cared for anyone in the dojo. Any other questions?"
-
... [b]he looks mad[/b] So... he... Fortis, knew they would come and screw up the Dojo? And he... Fortis, set bounties on Dojo members? Was a bounty on my head?
-
"Well, he only set the bounties for a day or two. After that he took them down for some reason. But yes, there was a bounty on your head."
-
How much?
-
"Whoever hunted you down would have their own battalion, fleet, and the title of second or third in command. They would also get their own moon. Audax was about to take up the bounty, but it was taken down just a day before he was set to leave. The reason the bounty was taken down was because of the arrival of those dark creatures. So, in a way, both your life and your death are a result from them."
-
I meant, how much was he paying to have me killed?
-
"We Mechonus don't tend to use a currency. We use possessions to pay people. If you were to translate all those things into money, it would be worth a few quintillion dollars for just the fleet alone. The title is priceless, and the moon can vary in price from time to time. Also, you must understand. Mechonus do not crave things like movies or TV for entertainment, war and battle is what we want. So what may seem like a few glorified hunks of metal to you is the best thing we can have."
-
It'd only translate to a quintillion? I'M WAY MORE THAN THAT!
-
"That was just the ships, though. The moon, army, and title are much more."
-
Doesn't matter...
-
"Very true. Do you have any other questions?"
-
Why did he want me dead again? And how do we take him down?
-
"I honestly don't know. Perhaps he wanted the dojo without many of it's more powerful fighters, leaving it vulnerable. How we stop him on the other hand is a bit more difficult. I have no clue of any weaknesses he has. Also, he is much more powerful than most people in the dojo think."
-
Ya want me to handle him?
-
"I doubt you can handle Fortis, Audax, and his army all in your own."
-
-
"You want me to bet on this?"
-
Yee. [b]he spits on his hand and holds it out for a handshake[/b] Winner gets bragging rights.
-
"Ok, deal." [b]He shakes the wet hand.[/b] "The only thing is, if you loose, I can't really brag."
-
Yeah I know. But I won't lose. So, do we attack as soon as we get out of this dragon?
-
"I think we should blow up this ship first, then go back to confront Fortis." [b]The dragon slows to a stop at the end of the hallway.[/b] "Ok, time to get out." [b]The soldier grabs a sword and cuts open the dragons chest cavity, making a nice big opening to slip out of.[/b]
-
[b]Tubbs runs but when he jumps out he does a backflip, like in "Watchdogs 2"[/b] [b]except he lands on his face[/b] I thought I could pull that off... [b]he gets up and looks around[/b]
-
"Heh, better luck next time I guess." [b]Now that everyone is out, the dragon falls to the floor and starts disintegrating into a very toxic looking substance.[/b] "The reactor should be just behind here." [b]The soldiers kick the door down to reveal a large room with a huge battery-ish thing in the middle.[/b] "That is the reactor, take it out!"
