Rogue Chaos- Rebellion: The Spy and the Soldier
Shortly after finishing the first run of the simulation that Attikus was in, Eris forced Discord to make sure that he cleaned himself up and took a shower to get rid of the stench that smelled like rotten eggs and dead thrall. Which was kind of ironic seeing that they had been fighting thrall all the way up to this point and had to get at Aria, who was one of the silent sisters that Ambra has a rather serious grudge against.
It didn’t help any that while both the draconequus and the teen were waiting, Discord happened to be singing while he was in the shower… again. This time though, the tune of the song that he was singing seemed to be that of an old pop song that, back in the day, would have many teenaged girls be sick with ‘Bieber fever’... much to Shayne’s annoyance. “Would it help to say that I’m sorry~”
“He’s been at that for the last few minutes… I can’t tell whether he’s trying to sing that to sound apologetic or to get on our nerves.”
“Maybe both?” The suggestion came from Aurox as both Eris and Shayne looked back at him. “What? I’m saving my anger and hatred for when we’re fighting thrall again. Then I can be able to dine on their agony.”
“Seriously? Dine on agony? I’m not sure if it works like that,” Eris sighed, looking back at Aurox. “Those are something that we call ‘emotions’.”
“True, but there’s just as many things that all of us have yet to learn about Draconequus too and we don’t question how your magic or stuff works.” Shayne did bring up a good point on that note, in which Eris decided to drop the subject as she noticed her son returning. With a new set of clothes that looked like his old jacket that Shayne gave him, but with a dark navy color on the outside and some burgundy trimmings added to it. “Wow… Nice threads Discord. I like the colors, though I would prefer to work in black…”
“And sometimes very very very very dark gray,” Aurox added on, which got Shayne to shoot a glare back at him. “What? That’s what you told Reyna and the rogues when Toby decided to try and get the rogues matching uniforms.”
“Ehh, it’s the only other color I have in my closet,” Discord replied, snapping his fingers as an actual closet appeared behind him. Showing different color variations of the clothes that he had, his suit during the duet with Orendi on Ekkunar and every other one in between. “Besides, Crazy Auntie’s suggestion was to wear blood red.”
“Crazy Auntie?”
“Orendi,” Shayne clarified for her before sighing for a moment and thinking something over. “Trust me, she has the most… strangest of thoughts in her head at times. In fact, one time when Whiskey helped her up, she started calling him Steve out of nowhere and that lasted all day until she fell asleep.”
“Right… So now that we’re all here, I think we can get started with the next round…” Eris replied. She was… rather curious as to how exactly Deande was involved in the third thrall rebellion and with Attikus in particular. Even though she had just learned of the whole event just a few minutes ago, she knew that if Deande played a role in… well pretty much anything, she would do it from the shadows. After all, she was a spymistress… not a warrior.
Shortly after everyone was there, Nova soon reappeared afterwards and began to inform them on their progress. “Welcome back… I think you already have a good understanding of what to do, but since this is your second time back, you will now start with five ops points and can reach a maximum of 55. Keep getting those ops points for even greater rewards later on.”
“Thanks for the brief… and partially unnecessary recap,” Shayne rolled her eyes before looking back at Nova. “So how’s the big guy holding up? He keeping the whole… act together?”
“You can say that,” The Magnus AI told them. “He says you played along nicely, but there’s more to the story. A lot more… Since this is his little party, I’ll let him explain.” With that, Nova activated the simulation chamber as it returned all three of them to the starting point at the beginning of the mission. Followed by hearing the same set of instructions that Attikus himself had repeated the first time around. Though, what was different this time was that the side objective was not the same propaganda task as before, but something different.
“There are deadeye snipers on the rooftops… Try and take them out.”
That was shortly followed by another round of Attikus’ monologing… with dramatic black and white special effects to add to the overall mood. Yet, what the thrall was saying this time was not quite the same as when Discord and the others went through this the first time around. “The names Attikus… private eye. I run a no-questions asked kind of business. But sometimes, you don’t need to ask a question to have an answer waltz right through your front door.”
“Waltz? No one told me we were dancing!” Discord shouted, causing Shayne to facepalm herself. Even as one of the deadeye snipers tried to fire on him, Discord’s dance moves made it to where the robot could not even land a single shot on him.
All of this and it was around now that the lady of the hour soon made her appearance in the scene as the group heard the sound of a door opening, followed by the sound of heels against the floor and the voice of the spymistress. “Evening mister, I was hoping that you and your brutish services were available for hire.” That provided the right chance for Eris to hurl one of her chakrams at the robot as it soon blew up seconds afterwards. Getting a notification that one of the snipers was down… yet, there were four others to take care of next.
“She wore red, like a knife after it had been in someone’s back, but with sharper edges. I recognized her immediately, but played it cooler than an Bliss ice tornado.” The thrall narrated while the team split up into two groups. Like the last time around, Eris worked with her son to take down the sniper bots on the rooftops while Shayne and Aurox were thrashing through numerous thralls to take down the jamming towers so the airways could be clear for the next objective.
All while Attikus was having a conversation with Deande. “What’s the Spymistress of the Imperium need from me?”
“Ex-spymistress, soon enough.” Deande corrected him for a moment. “But I have some… ‘housecleaning’ to do before I leave.”
“And where do I come in?”
“You’ll be holding the broom.” She said, shortly before the smooth jazz music in the background ended and then everything returned to it’s normal color scheme.
“So… does anyone actually understand what she’s trying to say by that?” Discord then asked, all confused by the choice of words that Deande had used to describe the situation. In which Shayne then sighed for a moment.
“Let’s just not focus on that part.” The teen told him as they took down the first communication jammer again. “All clear down here. How’s it going up there.”
“One more of those pesky snipers left and then-.” Eris said, just before her son through a red shell that bounced along the inside of one of the rooftops for a moment as it took out the thrall, the sniper and the jamming tower… all while wearing a red hat with a M on it, overalls and fake mustache that seemed to belong to some italian plumber. “Okay, nevermind. We’re coming down now.”
“Good job. Ops points awarded.” They heard Nova update them as their ops points score for this round increased. As they made their way back over to the courtyard where the rally beacon was about to be deployed, they heard Attikus began to narrate another piece of dialogue as it all went back to black and white for a couple of seconds. “The spymistress knew all about the thrall rebellion, told me she could help out. She said we needed to take down a silent sister, name of Aria, so she couldn’t run off to Rendain. But I knew a grudge when I saw one. This was personal.”
That though… only left more questions for the trio. More importantly, questions about what kind of grudge would be between the two of them. Still… Eris was a bit lost on something else for that matter. “Wait… what the heck was Deande even doing before she became part of the Battleborn?”
“Ehh… Not really sure what exactly to say there,” Shayne then told her. “All I heard from Reyna was that she was supposedly a double agent at one point. Acting as Rendain’s advisor while also providing intel to Ghalt.”
“So wait… when she means housecleaning-” Eris was trying to think before she noticed that her son was covered in soot and his white hair was a bit darkened as he was wearing a rather messy set of clothes unlike the ones he started out with. “What the-? Discord, what are you doing?”
“Chimney sweep!” He cheerfully said, before using the tools that he was previously using to clean chimneys… to whack a few of the nearby thrall in the face.
“Perhaps we’ll find out a bit more about the situation later…” Aurox advised both of them as more thrall soon landed nearby to attack the trio. All before he went to go crunch some bones as he launched himself at the first thrall he laid eyes on.
“Yeah, what he said.” The teen replied, just as the beacon was beginning to start up. And when they received a new bonus objective from Nova.
“The Imperium has sent a Bulwark bot your way. Find it and destroy it with a skill for extra ops points.”
“Bulwark?” Yet, just as the younger draconequus asked that, a familiar looking robot landed on the ground as he gasped for a moment. “Holy sh*t! It’s Barbara!!”
Hearing that almost had Shayne trip and fall face first on the ground before groaning for a little bit as she looked at Discord, before turning back to a rather confused Eris. “Barbara?”
“One of Discord’s first missions with us was when he, Reyna and a few others were trying to take back a UPR colony from a crazed magnus AI and his army of minion robots. One of the robots that he tried to throw at us was a bulwark bot that was known as H3nchm4n, but called itself ‘Barbara’.” All of that caused Eris to look back at Shayne as she sighed for a moment. “Hey, don’t look at me. They choose their own names apparently.”
“Why are we talking about names!? Tear it apart!!” Aurox roared, which in turn had both Shayne and Eris agreeing with the djinn as they dived into the fray and helped Discord with not only disarming it, but also taking it down with a skill, as instructed by Nova. Shortly afterwards, more of the heavily armed thrall soldiers were closing in on their location. Firing their weapons, but to little effect as they picked them off, one by one, and had them fall like dominoes.
After this went on for a short amount of time, and also with Discord dual wielding a pair of explosive black pistols, they heard more narration from Attikus again as he joined up with them to pry open the next door going forward. “Hard to believe I was working with Rendain’s right hand. Maybe she meant what she said about defecting. Only time would tell… and even time would think twice about snitchin’ on a spymistress.”
“Yeah, because snitches get stitches!” Discord blurted out, which put Shayne though in a really awkward position. Having her be confused as to whether groan a bit on Discord blurting out randomly… or be proud of him for learning one of the most important guidelines for how the rogues deal with traitors.
With the current situation now though, as it was when it came to Aria appearing out of nowhere before disappearing off once again, she decided to push that thought to the back of her mind so she could refocus on the next fight. Along with meleeing all the shock pillars that dropped from the sky and taking them out with no trouble whatsoever.
Then there was Nova’s next side objective. “Loot Cache detected nearby, locate it to earn more ops points.” Which in turn prompted Discord to race off on his own to go find the stash while leaving Shayne and Eris to fend for themselves in the process. Which was a lot harder than it seemed since there was an MX-Elite bot that could hit them with a stun that can paralyze them for a few moments if they did get hit.
Fortunately though, this lasted for about… thirty seconds or so before Discord was seen holding a coffin filled with items inside as he was shaking it all out. “MORE BOOTY!! I HAVE RECLAIMED WHAT I HAVE LOST!!!”
“Loot crate secured. Ops points awarded.”
Now with that out of the way, all three of them got back to pummeling the crap out of the robots and thrall that were swarming the place. Which was relatively simple since all they had to do was gather them all in one place before Shayne and Aurox did a tag team and had the Djinn devour on the souls of the enemies that unfortunately got caught in his wrath.
Yet, all of this did not go unnoticed by the silent sister that they were tracking down once the surrounding scenery went all noire once more. “Rendain will hear of this once I-. What? What does this mean ‘access denied’?! I am the incantress superior!”
As it just so happened by coincidence, they all heard Deande chime in on the situation. “Aw, forgot your password Aria?”
“Deande! I always told Lothar he couldn’t trust you, but treason is a new low, even for you. I’ll get the message out if I have to manually override the comms relay myself!”
“Can she do that?” Attikus then asked… which, ironically, was the same question that was on everyone else’s mind too. Nonetheless, they heard Deande not sounding concerned as she spoke once again. “Best to err on the side of caution and kill her before she can get there.”
And that still did not answer their questions as to how Deande was somehow involved in this. Yet, now was where they had gotten the last bonus objective from Nova sent to them. “A jennerit harvester is clearing out a nearby shard deposit. Those are resources we can use. Go and claim them.” Despite Discord’s early objections on the fact that there wasn’t a lot for them to use the shards on in the first place, but with a bit of convincing from Eris that the gear he was using will ‘wake up’ once he gets the right amount of shards to activate them, he personally volunteered to go get them.
Along with bringing a sledgehammer to the occasion. “It’s HAMMER TIME!!” He shouted before smashing it in a single blow and then leaping off the platform the shard deposit was on. “What? Someone had to say it at some point in this fanfic.”
“Good job. As Kleese said, We’re rich and everything’s beautiful forever. Ops points awarded.”
Even with that and Discord thinking that the best way to solve their problems right now was through a bit of hammer diplomacy, the three of them still persisted up the ravine they were on. Breaking through anything… and anyone that stood in their path of destruction as they smashed, clobbered and shot their way over to the door that lead to Aria’s stronghold.
As for the Silent Sister herself, she happened to realize something as the group approached the door. “Deande, I’ve just thought of something… all those purges, the cullings I proposed. It was you who shot them down wasn’t it?”
“It was my job to keep people like you from getting their way.” They heard Deande speak, which also answered part of the question they had. This was part of Deande being a double agent… and to keep Rendain in a false sense of security before her betrayal. “Rendain needed competent commanders, not sadistic tyrants.”
That though… lead to Aria thinking something else on the subject. “With you gone, Lothar just might change his mind about what he needs. Once I’m done putting every rebellious thrall on Tempest to the knife, I think I’ll go through some old files and see what kind of fun we can have undoing your orders.”
“Wow… she is beyond crazy.”
As Attikus opened the door for them though, that was when Discord got an idea as he had a recording camera pop up in one of his paws. Not before long though, the Draconequus began to fill the rest of the group in on his idea as he looked back at the area where Aria was waiting. Not before long though, he shouted “... And Action!”
Then it was Eris’ turn. “Welcome back to DAMN NATURE, you’re scary! On galactic TV.” The camera now focused on Aurox as he was racing around the room in a blood fueled frenzy while Discord was recording everything and also monologuing about ‘if that thing came near my house, I’d kill it’. While also editing it out so Shayne could not be seen in the filming process.
Lastly though, it focused on Aria as Aurox pounced at her, thrashing and tearing apart until she died in the explosion that resulted from her defeat. While Discord was adding another piece to it. “That little rat looking thing just got ATE! DAMN NATURE, you’re scary!!!”
“The only thing that’s scarier then that is some man made creatures,” Eris commented. “Such as the puppet that did turn into a real boy.”
“Wow… that was… actually kind of clever. Nice job, Discord.” Shayne replied back, giving both Discord and Eris a high five for being able to pull that off successfully.
Shortly thereafter, all three of them were congratulated by Deande herself as she had one more thing to say before going off on her way. “Well done, thrall. You bought you and your brethren time to organize while also buying me some cover by which to make my escape. You’ve earned your fee.”
“The job was finished. I couldn’t say that I enjoyed working with the spymistress, but she sure knew how to fight a war,” Attikus now began to speak shortly after Deande departed from the scene. Leading to the door where all the loot and other goodies awaited for Discord and company as they stepped inside… and where Discord began to open every crate and chest in sight. “I was looking forward to havin’ some time to myself.”
Yet, just as he finished that… something else occurred. It first started when the smooth jazz that was originally playing in the background began to falter… and sound a lot more disjointed than before. But no one in the group, including Nova for that matter, expected to hear the voice at the other end of the line.
“Hey there, good lookin’”
And all three of the Battleborn in the simulation had one simultaneous response. “OSCAR MIKE!!?!”
After exiting the simulation again, Shayne, Discord and Eris all decided to take a momentary break in order to get some lunch and a small rest. But after the last round, the question that was on everyone’s mind (including Nova’s for that matter) was practically the same. “Okay, so does anyone even know why Oscar Mike would be here? I mean… I don’t even think he supposed to be involved here.”
“What makes you say that?” Discord asked. “Are you excluding him because he’s a clone?”
“No, think of it… This is suppose to be Attikus’ account of the third thrall rebellion. Not the third thrall rebellion plus one mike.” Shayne clarified.
“Maybe he needed a new place for alone time?” Discord theorized, which in turn lead to the djinn that was nearby sighing a little as he looked back at all three of them.
“Y’know… we can just ask Nova.” Aurox grumbled a bit as he stated out the obvious to them. Strangely enough, Shayne herself did not think of that at the time and Eris honestly thought that it was too early for Oscar Mike to be showing up since he had his own DLC coming soon… or something along those lines.
“Thank you Aurox… at least I feel appreciated somehow,” Nova replied sarcastically as she soon took form in front of the group. “Anyways, I’m already going to assume that you know the deal with how ops points works, so this time you start with ten and can get a maximum of sixty. When you reach 60, you’ll get a commander loot pack for your particular faction, which leads to more chances at getting better loot.”
“-More BOOTY!?” Discord interjected.
“…… Yes, that.” The AI answered his question, which lead him to dancing around and celebrating in place while Eris, Shayne and Aurox listened in on what Nova was telling them. “Attikus says there’s something weird going on, like there might be someone else in here with you. It’s not my job to keep track of you people, so go check it out… when you are ready of course. No pressure.”
“Well, I’m ready whenever you guys are.” Shayne commented while Aurox took a chance to stretch out his oversized claws as she hopped off the floor and looked back at them. Eris shrugged, saying that she had been ready for a while and also adding that thanks to what was said about the commander loot packs, all it did was provide more motivation for him to go at the simulation again.
Once it was loaded up again for the third time and the group received their main objective… along with a side objective from Nova to find some hidden shard deposits, the mood quickly changed as they began to hear Attikus narrate again. “The name’s Attikus. Somehow, I have gotten myself into the business of running this rebellion. Seemed like a job for someone else, but I guess they were stuck with me. I’d thought I locked my door for the night, but it appeared that fate had taken my key… and made copies.”
Once again, the original smooth jazz now sounded off key, like the musician was honestly trying too hard and ended up messing up the whole song as the group then heard the next… client speak. Which was weird since somehow, it looked like there was some lipstick stuck on his helmet. “Hey there, good lookin’. Got a job for you… or maybe I don’t. I bet you’re confused as to my true intentions hunh?”
“Yeah, like what are you doing here in the first place?” Discord then asked, yet the question seemed to go over the speakers head as Attikus picked up on the narration.
“He wore red like he tripped and fell into a bucket of external hull paint… which is exactly what I think happened.”
“Well, that would explain the marks on the helmet… but it doesn’t exactly answer what he’s here for.” Shayne then said as she approached one of the shard clusters along the outside edge of the area as they heard the conversation between Oscar Mike and Attikus.
“I don’t have time for this…”
“No wait! We can still hang out! There’s totally a job! A real good one too!” The soldier insisted.
“What is it?” Attikus asked in response.
“Right, I am… uh, missing something? Yeah, yeah and you need to find it!” The scene began to turn back to normal, but the failed composition in music still played in the background as Discord looked back at his teammates and asked something.
“Would that something be either your friends, your hope & self esteem or your Rainbow Dash plushie?” His question fell on deaf ears though as Eris just shrugged her shoulders.
“Can I choose all of the above?” Shayne asked as the first cluster of shards was broken apart and taken by then. Some of them were guarded by shields, but Eris was conveniently able to conjure some clones of herself to stand on the pads that kept the shields up as they destroyed the shards and got some bonus ops points. That and the main task with taking down the two communication jammers too.
As they were going to the beacon deployment area though, that’s when things just got… weird. “So what is it I’m looking for?”
“Sort of a, uh, thing.” They heard the clone tell the Jennerit Thrall. “I’ll know it when I see it… detective.” The last part of the sentence came out horribly wrong as it sounded like Oscar Mike was trying to be seductive… but failed in the process. Big time.
Ironically though, what Eris said was actually the same thing that Attikus said in that moment. “Stop talking like that.”
“B-but the ladies got to do it!” Oscar Mike complained.
“It’s a very specific cultural reference and you’re ruining it.” Attikus grumbled, which was something that everyone else could also agree on.
“Yeah, that was the stupidest impersonation I-.”
That was Eris just held up a finger and then said something. “Let me do it,” she cleared her throat before letting her know how she honestly felt about Oscar Mike’s impersonation. “That is… just… the worst.”
“Come on! Queen Mike always seems to get it right!” Everyone in the simulation, including Aurox, stopped where they were upon hearing that and blinked a bit in response to that rather bizarre statement.
“Did he just say…… Queen Mike?” Shayne asked, shaking her head and trying to focus. “How the hell does that even work?”
“Like with almost everything sometimes in life,” Eris replied, shrugging her shoulders for a moment. “It’s complicated… Hell, it’s possible that everything from society ends with ‘Mike’. But we don’t know.”
“Perhaps we talk to Ghalt about it after we try not killing ourselves in this situation?” Aurox then suggested as more enemies began to show up while the group was having to defend the rally beacon that was deployed once again. Shayne sighed, a little annoyed that the current conversation between her and Eris had to be put on hold, but relieved that she would now have something to do that wouldn’t put her bored out of her mind.
Just like before on the last run, all they needed to do was rinse and repeat what they did last time for defending the beacon. Yet, the side objective was a little more challenging because it involved a wave of Boom Bots coming in and they needed to destroy them and not let them damage the beacon for Ops points. A little more challenging, but it was still a breeze to pull off when Discord invested some of the shards they collected to build some turrets. Or as he called it, home security.
Once that was done, they went to the door that was the way out… and it was not because Oscar Mike told them too… even though he sounded like he was suggesting it. “Ooh! Go in there!”
“You’re not going to like this part.” Attikus informed him with an irritated groan in his voice.
“I’m just having fun hanging out, detective.” Once again, Oscar Mike tried to say the last word of the sentence in the same manner he did previously. Which lead to an irritated groan from not just Attikus, but also everyone else in the simulation too.
Just like the last time, Attikus brutally broke down the door, Aria made her sudden entry and exit, and more robots and thrall came at them to try and murder them. However, the side objective was completely different than the last two times. “The area is littered with pro-Rendain propaganda. Take it down to earn extra ops points.”
“Aw HELL NO!!!” Eris snapped, immediately throwing her chakrams at the closest propaganda projector she could find in a zealous frenzy. Surprising Shayne, Aurox and Discord with how much destruction she was leaving in her wake. Turning all the robots into scrap metal and destroying each of the projectors in the blink of an eye. All within a matter of minutes… and furious to the point that she even told Nova to shut up afterwards.
Then… Aria stepped in. “How dare you think you could assassinate me!? I’m-.”
Only to be unfortunately ruined by Oscar Mike… again. “Who the hockey sticks are you?”
“You don’t-.” Aria was caught off guard by that… and the rest of her response proved that as she was trying to get back to the original tone she had… but didn’t quite find it. “I’m the incantress superior of the Silent Sisters! Are you… trying to kill me?”
And then screwed up by Oscar Mike even more. “Not particularly… You sound nice enough.”
“She’s a boss!! Why the hell would you think she’s nice!?” Eris then snapped… shortly before one statement from Aria ironically answered her question.
“You’re a few rounds short of a full magazine, aren’t you?”
“That… pretty much sums up Oscar Mike.” Shayne grumbled before feeling Discord on her head as she noticed him with the same outfit that he had for when he took down ISIC… with one punch.
“In under twenty words or less too…” He said before noticing the onslaught of minions and thrall that separated them from the entrance to Aria’s lair. “Oh look, more baddies.”
“Some turrets would really make it easier for you to advance through this area. Build a few of them for additional ops points.” Hearing that task had Discord immediately change outfits again as he took a wrench and began to quickly build the turrets they needed to give them an advantage.
“Buildin’ a sentry!!” He called out, constructing what was supposedly a combination of a stinger turret and a thumper turret as it first had machine guns before it began firing missiles. Making it even portable enough to move and relocate it for once they got farther up the ravine. But later, he got even more cocky and decided to change things up with his appearance as he was… to put it lightly… going commando.
“Meet my lady friend!” He snapped, tossing out both turrets he constructed as they fired off a salvo of rockets at the thrall in the distance while he himself conjured up Whiskey Foxtrot’s battle rifle and used that to defend himself from any spare thrall or minion that the turrets happened to miss. Gaining the ops points from Nova… and extra points for badassery.
Then… came the awkward conversation that happened shortly afterwards. “Wait… You’re not trying to kill me? Not even a little?”
“Nah, I’m just hanging with my bros,” Oscar Mike then proclaimed, which lead to everyone else in the party thinking when exactly were they his ‘bros’. “In fact, I want to name you my honorary bro! I’ll need your mailing address so I can send you your honorary bro certificate! It’s laminated, so you can keep it in your wallet.”
The following response from Aria… matched what everyone else in the squad was thinking right around now… along with Nova in that present moment. “WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT!?!”
“Yeah! You’re not PewDiePie!! So we can’t be your bros!!” Discord then shouted, trying to add his own sense of logic to the situation… and failing miserably.
“That kind of logic doesn’t work on Oscar Mike, Discord.” Eris reminded him. “Matter of fact, I don’t think there is anything we can get into that thick head of his.”
“At least he tried…” Aurox mumbled. “So how exactly are we going to beat her this time?” Discord thought of it, then decided to strap on some equipment and then asked for Shayne to do something that… even she at the time was surprised about.
“Throw me… I got this.” For a moment, all Shayne did was give him a confused look, but then followed through with it as he snapped his finger and made the gravity around the room a bit lighter. That and once Shayne threw him high enough into the air, he soon curled up like a ball and had himself plummet to the ground.
“BUTT SLAM!!!”
“...... Really?” Aurox grumbled.
“Honestly, I have to admit, that was clever.” Eris said with an amused look.
“Alright!! Teamwork for the win!!” Shayne cheered.
“BRO!! NO!!!” Oscar Mike cried out, ruining the entire mood. Which lead to everyone groaning in response at him.
“She thought that you were an idiot…” Attikus pointed out. However, the clone soldier did not buy it at all.
“No, s-she was j-just… giving me a r-really hard time… Like a real b-b-bro!!” He sobbed for almost a minute… before his mood automatically switched back to how he started at the beginning. “Thanks for finding me a bro!! Case closed!!”
“I really need to start screening my clients…” Attikus grumbled… which left Discord confused as he was now holding what appeared to be Oscar Mike’s Rainbow Dash plushie.
“ …… So we were not looking for this?” When he was met by silence, all that did was answer the question he had in his head at the time. “Well, if he isn’t needing it, then can I have it-?”
“Hey! What are you guys doing here!? Give that back!!” The soldier snapped at him. “My Little Dashie!! Not yours”
That was when Eris looked back at Oscar Mike with a raised eyebrow. “Wait… you wrote that?”
“No, of course not!!” Oscar Mike proudly shouted before saying something else. “I have a copy of the story as an Audiobook!”
“And that answers… pretty much every other question I have right now.” Shayne groaned as she and Aurox looked back at both Draconequui. Something told her that they were going to be here for a while before they could get Attikus to come around.
