*Act 5, Scene 1*
"Hail, friend, for so thou art." Ryan addresses Gladius as he descends from the sky.
"What? What did he say?" Gladius beckons
Dwayne shrugs and pulls out a pack of smokes.
"Um. Yeah, I'm Ryan, this is Dwayne. We've come to invite you on a quest to destroy The Capital City!" Ryan prépares a speech, but he's stopped by Gladius
"I'm already on that quest. I assume you two already know about Capital City's plan to steal Gemtech from the Hexlands, which they're going to use to wage war on the Green lands leaving Africa nearly defenseless since they're still recovering from what they did before?" He asks
Ryan is speechless
Dwayne is speechless
"Right, so I've already prepared an Aarokacran militia to distract Capital Cities forces, a Kenku assassin squad to infiltrate their base, and I've warned Hexlands about the plan." Gladius describes
Ryan thinks for a moment and something flashes in his mind, he digs through his bag and pulls out the depleted Gem from Metroglade "Wait do you mean gems like this?" Ryan asks
"Hm, no, the gimmick with Gemtech is that the gems act as an infinite battery of sorts, so the fact this is empty..." Gladius informs Ryan
They stop, something sinks in his chest...
"Then this is an imitation, but it was being used as if it was the real thing, which can only mean one thing," Ryan says
They both say at the same time "Capital City already has Gemtech"
As soon as the realization is made a streak of black lighting shoots into the sky from the East. From The Capital City erupts a storm of ominous purple clouds and black lightning.
It's worse than Gladius thought. Capital City didn't want to just control the three continents, but Destroy the World as we know it in a new apocalypse of Nightmares and Creatures of Darkness.
Gladius ignites a runic paper which summons a projection of his father Atticus Jones.
"Father, the attack has begun. Rally our troops, tonight we will have to fight for Everything." Gladius formally called
*Act 5, Scene 2*
Our party swiftly makes their way down the mountain thanks to Dwayne's robotic legs.
As they pass East Main village they see a rift summoned to which nightmarish monsters breach into our world.
Gladius looks horrified, but Dwayne doesn't stop skating.
