Chapter 14: Alive After a long airship ride, just barely catching it before it departed, Kirk and Khan set foot in Orbis for the first time. After being used to Victoria Island being trashed, Orbis was a nice change of scenery; everything was well kept and untouched by the Hell Patrol. Once at the bar, with mugs of cider in hand, the two began to talk. Khan: So, how are you feeling right now? Kirk: Doing fairly well, all things considered. Even with everything that happened back there, losing two of my closest friends, I can’t dwell on it forever; the scars will fade over time, so the best thing for me to do is to keep moving forward

Chapter 13: Libera Me from Hell Inside the next room, Kirk and his group found that it was almost identical in appearance to the previous one, with the major difference being that the checkerboard tile floor had been replaced with blue marble and that Neo was standing in the middle of the room; with his spear drawn and his golden armor repaired since his encounter with Paul earlier. Neo: So you managed to escape from the world in the quicksand. I’m impressed…however, your journey ends here; I cannot allow you to further interfere with my plans. Before Neo could do anything, he was stopped in his tracks by the ghostly figure of

Chapter 12: Pull Me Under A few minutes later, Kirk found himself standing in a quiet, peaceful meadow; all alone. He then began to walk around; trying to figure out what was going on now, and why Neo would send him to such a peaceful place. ‘It’s quiet…too quiet…’ Kirk thought. As he wondered around, he caught a glimpse of another person in the area; a female Cleric standing by the creek, who had long blue hair going down to her back, a fancy white strapless dress, and a bouquet of flowers in hand. As Kirk started to move closer, she took notice and proceeded to walk over to him. Cleric: What are you doing h

Chapter 11: Indestructible As they stepped into the next room, they found Khan waiting for them; sitting in a fancy executive’s chair placed in the middle of an otherwise empty room. Khan: I see you managed to make it this far, Kirk… Kirk: You know that belief your master has that I’m a threat to your mission? Well, you where right; after what Melanie did in the previous room, there’s nothing in this world that can stop me from destroying the Hell Patrol, mainly Neo, once and for all; not even death Khan: You’ve definitely changed since our first encounter; however, let’s see how much better you are at

Chapter 9: Prelude to Madness After finishing the conversation; the group then proceeded to begin making their plans; sharing information all 3 gathered while out exploring to find where the best point of entry is. Paul: Their ship probably has strong defenses, so we better be careful going in. Our best point of entry will probably to head to the highest point in Perion and borrow one of their transport ships that are conveniently there waiting for us. Kirk: That sounds like a plan to me. Now, is everybody ready to go? Gardenia: Of course; I’ve got millions of arrows, so I won’t be running out anytime soon Paul: I’ve be

Chapter 8: I Am The Walrus Once outside of the subway, the two were about to use their Teleport Rocks to escape, when they happen to notice something atop what appeared to be the only crane in the area that hasn’t fallen over. As they tried to figure out what it could be, they noticed it jumped down and ran towards them; once it was close enough, they realized it was another person, one with tan skin, bright white hair cut very short, shiny gold armor, and a fancy polearm. Unknown person: …You’re Kirk, aren’t you? Kirk: Yes…now, who are you? Unknown person: If you must know, I am Neo; leader of the Hell Patro

Chapter 7: Awakening Kirk: Anyway, what do I need to do next to repair my staff? Paul: You must now venture into the Kerning City Subway tunnels; where you’ll come to a shrine. The Walrus will be waiting for you to explain what you need to do next. Make sure you have the jewel and the broken staff with you when you get there. Kirk: Hopefully, it doesn’t involve wearing a dress Gardenia (with a goofy grin): But you where so cute, Miss Kirk Kirk (blushing): Please don’t call me that again; what happened back in Sleepywood stays in Sleepywood. Paul: So, if we where to go back to Sleepywood, you won’t have any proble

Chapter 6: Rebels of the Sacred Heart Shortly after they arrived, they began to tell Paul of what they learned; from what’s happened to Victoria Island while in training on up to who the Hell Patrol’s leader is. Paul (surprised): Neo has come back? This is not good at all Kirk: Who is he, anyway? Paul: Long before you came here, Neo was a close friend of mine; a strong warrior who was willing to help anyone in need. In addition to me, he always traveled with his girlfriend, Nia; who was more than capable of healing us when we got in over our heads. As great as it was, everything changed for the worse one day; when he had made
