Episode 7
King Dagon crested the mountain, barely visible in the swirling cloud. The monster’s roar shook the ground beneath Duke and Sita Moon.
DUKE: Avalanch!!
Sita
Moon was fast enough to drink a SHIELD potion a moment before a wave of
ice swept down the mountain. Duke, Sita Moon, and one of the Imperial
Soldiers were slammed into an icy outcropping. The Imperial Soldier
attacked Sita Moon as soon as it recovered, consistently missing her
with broad, clumsy strokes the half-elf nimbly avoided. She drove the
Imperial Soldier toward the ledge and called down the storm. Icy winds
blew the Imperial Soldier into the waiting claws of the ScornFish
climbing after them.
DUKE: We have to get away.
From
an ice cave above them, barrel-shaped and tentacled Star Things were
spilling out of the hole and rolling down the slope. Duke parried Sita
Moon’s attacks.
DUKE: Stop fighting!
DUKE: Those things are going to fight Dagon.
DUKE: It’s the sequel.
DUKE: King Dagon vs. the Star Things.
Sita
Moon used her FLAMING SCIMITAR to slice off the ice block they stood
on. It slid down the side of the mountain, crushing ScornFish beneath
it. Hundreds more pressed in to replace the fallen. Sita Moon used HOP
to reach a ledge, leaving Duke to fend off the ScornFish. The Star
Things were rolling off the mountain into combat, strangling ScornFish
with plant-like tendrils and cutting with razor-sharp wings. Duke was
able to break from combat and scramble after Sita Moon.
DUKE: Stop!
DUKE: That monster crashed the economy.
It
would take a crazy person to be playing video games during a global
crisis. Sita Moon backed up, sword drawn as Will caught his breath. Will
sipped his coffee.
DUKE: If the Star Things don’t kill him, I have to.
