Rebellion: Tempest Noire

Author's Note:

Coincidence that there is an update on the second ever Battleborn day? I think not.


This chapter I have been planning out for a while now and dives head first into the first of five different story operations that take place in the Battleborn universe after the events of the Heliophage. Each mission normally has ten different playthroughs with different bonus objectives and narrative storytelling, but in the essence of time, we're working on some of the main... essential playthroughs with this first mission. Primarily, the first three.

Also, the reason I mentioned the whole "Battleborn Day" thing was because it is actually a community in game event that is going on today. It combines all the items from previous events, including double xp, lootpocalypse (Legendary gear drop rate increased), command rank xp boost and enough things to make Nova say... "Holy SH************************T!!!" (Yes, that's a thing.)

In case your curious as to the order of said operations missions, here's a quick list.
-Attikus and the Thrall Rebellion
-Toby's Friendship Raid
-Oscar Mike Vs. The Battle School
-Montana and the Demon Bear
-Phoebe and the Heart of Ekkunar

Each mission will have Discord spend much needed "family bonding time" with different members of the rogues as well as Battleborn. I hope you enjoy it. Also, you get a cookie for getting any references hidden in here like the Borderlands 3 easter eggs in each Story Operation.

Rogue Chaos- Rebellion: Tempest Noire


It was only a few moments after Shayne and Aurox had originally decided to follow Discord to keep an eye on him and make sure he didn’t do anything that would get himself in trouble. Of course, the Draconequus had previously tried to argue that trouble was his middle name in order to prove a point, but the teen remembered that his middle name was actually Apophis thanks to that of Eris. Speaking of which, as she turned around, both the teen and the djinn were rather surprised to see the female draconequus nearby as she was nearby the entrance to the offline simulation chamber they were in. “So… care to explain what kind of mischief he’s trying to do now?”

“Discord thinks you hid the Hearts Warming presents in here for him and also thought this was a Janitor’s closet,” The teen sighed as she turned to see multiple different items, including Whiskey Foxtrot’s and Oscar Mike’s plushies be thrown into the air as he rummaged through a box of junk he had found. “I tried getting him to use some sense… but it hasn’t worked out.”

Eris chuckled a bit as she looked at the duo and shook a finger. “Here’s a tip for you two… Trying to get Draconequus to use common sense is like trying to pass a sobriety test after you get wasted. You're going to fail almost every time-.” Hearing her say that though just caused the Draconequus that was originally going through a box of junk to use his magic to make it reappear in another location before looking back at them.

“What’s wasted, mom?” He asked, all innocently.

“Wait, you don’t know what-.” Shayne asked before looking back at Eris. All she did though was shrug her shoulders as the teen now had to come up with a perfect… well… white lie to tell Discord. “It’s what happens when you… or Orendi for that matter… eat too much ice cream.”

That though, just made Discord even more excited. “I wanna get wasted!! No, CHOCOLATE WASTED!! Can I, mom? Can I!?” All that did was cause Aurox to groan and for Eris to chuckle a little in response as she messed with Shayne a little bit.

“Nice going… mom.”

“Yeah yeah, whatever…” Shayne replied before noticing that Discord had accidently stepped on a switch on the floor, causing the room to hum to life and for a small organized list to appear on a wall. What was on there though kind of surprised her personally. The only time that she would remember anyone going into the simulation room was to do simulated practice battles against each other. Whether it was for fun, glory or for Discord to mess around with Minrec, that what would normally be going on. Though, there was something on here that caught her attention. Something… new if she were to take a guess. It was underneath the training section on the organized menu and it was labeled “Operations”.

“Guys, does anyone have any idea what this is?” Shayne asked, pointing it out to the two of them. Though, the moment she asked that was when they heard the door close behind them and the room came to life. “And who the hell just did that?”

“Don’t look at me, I just work here.” Discord told them, but upon seeing the room around them, he decided to have a little bit of fun with it as he had a special kind of red shirt appear over his jacket and changing his voice. “Space… The Final Frontier…”

Eris saw this as kind of amusing, though Shayne and Aurox could not understand what the actual hell he was talking about. Though, the question as to what was going on was soon answered by a familiar face. “Welcome to Battleborn Operations-. Oh… it’s you guys. What’s up?”

“Nova? What exactly are you doing here?” Shayne asked, looking back at the Magnus AI that was floating around in the chamber.

“Well, other than helping keep the systems on this ship operational, I’ve been working with Ghalt and Kleese on this small pet project for a while now. Apart from the family friendly duels to the death that occur all the time in the simulation chamber, we also created a secondary mode that can help recreate different locations and people of the past and also present in these chambers thanks to the hard light technology in here.” The magnus AI explained. “However, I would like to strongly advise to all three of you that nothing you're about to see is real.”

“Isn’t that the case with most VR games nowadays?” Discord then asked.

“True, but I mention this for another reason. Kleese once tried to live in here after he found out that these chamber could replicate the beach resorts of Luxuria-6 and it took us a week in order to get him out.” Nova then mentioned, causing Eris to snicker a little in response. “That and there may be a problem with one of the people that’s inside the chamber already.”

“Is it Kleese again?” Discord asked. “I bet it’s Kleese.”

“No actually. It’s Attikus.”

“Who?” Discord asked, raising an eyebrow for a moment as Shayne sighed for a moment and spoke up shortly afterwards, reminding him of who Attikus was. “He was the thrall that you decided to ride piggyback on after we rescued Caldarius.”

“Oh THAT’S him? I just called him Atty for short. That and it sounds like a nice name to say in a scottish accent.” Again, another deep sigh from Shayne as Aurox turned to ask Nova a question this time.

“So why is Attikus in there in the first place?”

“The program that he’s currently been reliving is his personal accounts of the Third Thrall Rebellion on the planet Tempest. This is supposed to be therapeutic for him, but he has been taking some creative liberties with it.”

“Okay, if you’re asking us to do some random DLC mission to help this guy, then what do we get in exchange?” Discord then questioned.

“You can find operation points, or ops points for short, across the map and trade them in at the end of the mission for rewards and customizations. I’ll also be giving you bonus objectives for even more points for you to collect.” Nova told them, showing a digitally constructed version of Discord wearing a dark red and black jacket in replacement of his old one.

“That actually looks badass on you, Discord… Plus, it would look good since… when was the last time you washed that jacket?” All the Draconequus did in response to Shayne’s question was roll his eyes and whistle to himself, not even paying attention to Shayne, Aurox or Eris for that matter.

“So in other words, we win recolored costumes instead of, oh, I don't know, actual different costumes, equipment, and accessories?” Eris asked.

“Would you prefer Discord smelling like he hasn’t showered in weeks or actually wearing something… different. I know I don’t have a sense of smell, but since I do know that he has not used the shower room in…” At that point, Nova pulled up a small screen with the number of how long it was since Discord originally got here. “Four months.”

Upon realizing this, Shayne sniffed the air for a moment before coughing and gasping for air. “That was you!? For a moment, I thought Orendi was pranking people by throwing rotten eggs from the trash!”

Discord just facepalmed himself in response as he looked at both of them and sighed. “Okay, okay! I’ll take a dreaded shower after this! Geez… Nova, can we get this out of the way?”

“Certainly… but I do want to mention that it may take a few times in order to get Attikus out of the chamber. Fortunately though, each time you do this, it won’t exactly be the same as the last time,” Nova replied to them. “Consider it as… ‘replayability’. And don’t forget those ops points… Beginning Operation in three… two… one…” Once Nova’s countdown ended, the AI soon disappeared and the space that they were originally in transformed into the Jennerit slums and backstreets that you would find on the planet Tempest. All of them were… rather surprised to see that despite this being a simulation, everything looked realistic. There were even breakable boxes that Discord decided to smash because he was tempted to do so.

“So… what happens now?” Just as Shayne asked that, she heard what sounded like Attikus’ voice call out over their comline.

“We need to set up a rally beacon so I can come help you assault the Silent Sisters stronghold- But the Imperium is jamming communications. Take out the jamming towers to clear out the airwaves.” Shortly after hearing the thrall speak up and give them the main objective, the group soon heard something extra from Nova shortly after that.

“The Silent Sisters are broadcasting propaganda all across town. Try to shut down their signal.” The AI instructed them as some new indicators popped up on a minimap that Discord was looking at. Things were calm for the most part… until the colors all around them soon turned black and white with a hint of red as smooth jazz played in the background.

Not to mention they were seeing an icon of Attikus wearing a fedora now. “The name’s Attikus… I’m not a proper detective or nothing. I just solve people’s problems. Usually there’s someone with a fist deficiency… but a problem of my own was about to come knocking.

“Okay, the setting now looks like it was designed by Frank Miller…” Discord then spoke up, onto to be followed by a rather… abrupt comment from Eris.

“Where dem ho’s at!?” Eris asked, before looking back at Discord and Shayne & Aurox. “What? LittleKuriboh didn’t censor it when he had that for his series-.” Fortunately, before Eris was about to say anything else, they now heard a rather familiar voice.

They soon heard Ambra, but instead of her normal outfit, she looked rather… formal and has less of a big head dress on her head. “Evening mister, I was just passing through this grimy edge of town when I saw your sign… Are you available for hire?

“There dem ho’s at!” Eris shouted, all while using her abilities to attack some of the Jennerit thrall coming at the group. While they were fighting though, they still heard the conversation go on between Attikus and Ambra… while Attikus was still narrating the whole encounter in a dramatic fashion.

She wore red in a way that could make a sunset leave a party to go change into something else. She was ten shards of nice… wrapped in ten thousand of trouble. I couldn’t afford to say no, but she didn’t have to know that.” He narrated, before actually speaking back to Ambra. “Maybe. what’s the case?

“Are you sure that he’s got the characters in this right?” Shayne then asked on the side. “I mean, for a moment I thought that didn’t sound like Ambra. She would normally insult you the first chance she gets-.”

Nothing your underdeveloped brain can’t handle. In fact, I think only a Thrall could pull it off,” They soon heard Ambra continue speaking.

And what is that?” Attikus asked.

I am in need of someone to start a revolution!” The group soon heard Ambra proclaim as the black and white screen soon faded away and the colors from the original eniviroment soon returned.

“... I stand corrected.” Shayne sighed before looking back at the other two draconequui. “Okay, so we got two jamming towers to take out and also those propaganda projectors. Which one has higher priority?” That question was soon answered though when they came across one of the projectors… that was defaming both Eris and Discord at the same time. Defining them and the Draconequui as traitors, criminals and also the most vicious insult of all… cowards.

“How DARE they portray us as cowards!! I will not forgive this insult to my kinds honor!!” Discord shouted, deeming an outfit like that of a particular royal guard/assassin with a metal mask to hide his face as he ripped the enemy to pieces while also besting the thrall in combat with a small blade that broke through the thralls own weapons like it was slicing through a loaf of bread.

And in no time at all, they soon got a notification of that from Nova. “Well done. The signal has been shut down. Ops points awarded.”

“Well, that’s one thing out of the way,” Shayne commented as she and Aurox turned around to see one of the communication jammers on the ground while also seeing one on the nearby rooftops. Both in which were heavily guarded. “Aurox and I got the one down here.”

“In that case, I’ll go lend my son a hand with the one on the roof… be back in a moment.” With that, the female draconequus put on an attire that was very… similar to that of Discord’s, but put a different mask on over the bottom half of her face as she used her chaos magic to pull herself to the roof and join her son. Leaving both Shayne and Aurox by themselves to just fight a Thrall Brute and a few other elite Thralls.

Which, of course, they saw as barely any challenge at all as they pulverized each one that came at them as they thrashed at everything in front of them. “Hey! Good job, champ!”

“STOP CALLING ME THAT!!”

“Uhh… slugger? … You know what, nevermind.” The teen rolled her eyes to the back of her head for a moment as a few more strikes from them destroyed the first of two communication jammers. Shortly followed by Discord and Eris annhilating the other one as they got confirmation on it from Attikus.

All jammers destroyed! Airwaves cleared. Head to the drop point and secure the area!!” Shortly after saying that, their surroundings went black and white once again as they now heard Detective Attikus speak this time. “I tried to put the war behind me… but in the end, the Dame was right. The remaining thrall were scattered… like a box of matches spread out on the kitchen floor. Light them up one at a time and they flicker… then die alone. They had to come together, burn together in order to burn down the imperium’s house.

“Is it just me or does is seem like this guy is trying too hard with metaphors?” Discord then asked as the three of them soon approached the beacon that had just touched down.

“Seems like it. I wouldn’t be surprised if he keeps on doing that.” Eris replied, keeping the outfit since she felt rather comfortable in it. “So what are we supposed to do now?”

“Well, truth be told, this reminds me of when we had to defend those terminals that Nova was hacking into back on Tempest,” Shayne replied, looking up at Aurox as he soon nodded his head in agreement. “I bet you a hundred credits that this is some sort of ‘protect the location’ objective regarding that beacon and also the turrets that Discord is building now.” Around then was when the Teen pointed out to the Draconequus what her son was doing as he had used some of the shards he had found along the way to power up two Thumper Turrets on opposite sides of the beacon.

Turns out, the teens suspicions were right. “Incoming Imperium loyal Thrall… Defend the Beacon at all costs!” Yet, she did not account for one thing that Nova soon informed them about moments later.

“There are Deadeye Snipers on the nearby rooftops. Take them out and I will grant you some ops points.” That in turn had Discord now change out his weapons for Marquis’ trusty cane as he stood firmly on one of the turrets and used one arm to aim and fire at the robots taking aim at both the beacon and his teammates.

All while being… in character as well. “Liberal arts major!! Big witted dumb coff! You disgust ME!!”

“Hoodini!” A robot owl spoke, perching on Discord’s antler. Which lead to the draconequus smiling a little bit before having a bowler hat pop into his paw as he then threw it at a incoming thrall, which exploded on impact.

“Oddjob!!”

“Boo! You suck!” A Thrall yelled in the background. Shortly before being struck by one of Eris’ chakrams.

“No one insults MY SON and gets away with it, you hear me!!” She roared, conjuring more magic as she provided more support for her son while he was taking out the snipers on the rooftops. Though, one comment from Shayne might have caught both of the draconequus attention as she and Aurox single handedly destroyed an entire wave of primal thralls.

“You guys are BORING me!! I mean seriously, you guys are really boring me right now!” She smirked, looking back at both draconequui shortly afterwards, with the word ‘TRIGGERED’ below them as a flashing red-orange neon sign. “I mean them, not you guys.”

“You want a challenge!?” Discord demanded. “Alright! We'll make it a challenge!” He pulled out a tablet, looking through the ‘options’ menu on the screen. “Alright, let's see here… disable shields, low quantity of health pickups, enemies are more like bullet sponges, and… AH-HA! Only one life.”

“You do realize she was joking right?” Aurox grumbled.

“She should've kept her trap shut.” Eris replied. Discord clicked ‘enter’. Immediately, their shields were gone, and the Thrall had turned into literal sponges.

“Okay… First off… I’m sorry for what I said… second… doesn’t this apply to all party members too?” At that, the same thing that happened to Shayne and Aurox… also happened to Discord and Eris.

“Challenge accepted!” Discord spoke, wearing a suit.

“I was going to tell you guys that when your reward tier increases, the difficulty mode increases too…” Nova spoke up, only to think about something shortly afterwards. “Also, how did you get access to the options of the simulation chamber?”

“Discord.” Aurox mumbled, just at said draconequus took out the last sniper in the area.

“I see… also, all snipers down. Good work. Ops points awarded… and next time, if you need me to make things difficult, ask about ‘hardcore mode’. Just a little something extra on the down low.” Nova replied to them.

“Or just pause.” Discord rolled his eyes, holding a game controller in his talon. “Freaking casuals.” Nova rolled her eyes for a moment, restoring some of the original parameters for the group. But also amping up the difficulty for them. With the ‘hardcore’ mode added, the team only had a limited number of revives to keep them alive and the enemies would not only deal a lot more damage, but also catch them off guard if they weren’t too careful.

And just when the enemies were all taken out, they soon heard Attikus nearby. “I got a lock on your rally signal. On my way!!” And once again, cue the black and white noir setting. “There’s always more to a case then what the client tells you and this one was no exception. She told me that she wanted to help the Thrall shake off their bonds, said it was their desire. She left out the part where it was all a ploy to put one over on her sister…

“Wait, back up just a moment… Ambra has siblings?” Shayne then asked. “Why didn’t anyone care to tell us about that?”

“Because you never cared to ask,” Eris snickered as they noticed Attikus jump down from a nearby building and run over to a closed gate. “Besides, what else do you think the silent sisters were?”

“I honestly was lead to believe that they were some kind of Jennerit religious cult based on what Aurox and I have overheard.” That just lead to Aurox folding his arms while Eris facepalmed herself and looked back at the pair as Discord decided to join up with them.

“She’s not wrong…” The male draconequus then spoke up, causing Eris to sigh a little.

“I would explain it to you, but I believe I can save that story for another time-.” Just as Eris said that, everyone’s attention was immediately turned towards Attikus once he spoke up at them.

“You lot, follow me!! We got bones to break!” The doors were immediately torn open as all of them ran through the entrance. But shortly after coming through, Nova soon spoke up.

“Energy signature detected, something coming your way…” That was shortly followed by a kinetic surge of energy being released from the top of a nearby tower as a hooded figure with armor that would remind them of Caldarius assault frame soon loomed over them.

“Submit now or be scourged for your insolence!” The woman ordered, before flipping backwards and demonstrating more of her power. “Mongrels get put down!!” That was when she disappeared in a surge of light as multiple different pylons now dropped down all around the group. Unlike the Warp Pylons that would bring in more troops, these ones released an electrical discharge that was harmful to their shields and could not be destroyed by normal means.

“Those pylons are resistant to ranged attacks. Take them down with melee strikes and I’ll grants you some more ops points.” That was right up Shayne’s alley. Besides. Her shield could be able to take a few sparks from those pylons rather easily. However, Discord repeated an earlier joke.

LEEROY!!! JENKINS!!!

“…… Oh my god, he just went in.” Aurox grumbled, only followed by Shayne chasing after him. “Shayne, what are you-!?”

“You got any better ideas?!” She yelled, joining the chaos on the battlefield right now as they started thrashing and bashing all of the pylons and worked on the other enemies in the area. All while Nova awarded them for successfully destroying the pylons like she requested. It took them a little bit, but once they made short work of the first wave of bots, Discord was then seen with a red and white food bucket while eating what appeared to be a chicken wing.

“At least I have chicken.”

“Not quite sure if that’s the right time to say that… you know, since we’re actually still alive. But eh, whatever…” Eris soon replied, shrugging her shoulders as she activated her Ultimate ability, Pandemonium, to make one of the MX. Boom Bots turn on it’s allies by exploding and damaging both of the MX. Elite bots that were firing at them. Making it easier for not only Shayne, since that provided her the chance to have Aurox fetch them to separate the two of them, but also Discord since discarding the bucket of chicken caused it and the first Elite bot to explode. With some of the shrapnel from the bot hitting the second one as Discord took one of the robots weapons and aimed it at the other one’s face.

“Hey… You know what’s the sensation that’s sweeping the nation?” He grinned, dawning a red trench coat and grinning evilly like a real motherbucking vampire as he was ready to fire. “B*tches love CANNONS!!” That had Discord pull the trigger as the second robot blew up as he tossed the weapon aside.

“Why did you toss the weapon away?” Shayne then asked. “Can’t you use that-?”

“Only had one shot in it. Plus, I prefer sticking with a weapon that I can actually carry without making me slower.” He deadpanned, using a air pump in order to re-inflate his tired out arms. “So, what do we do now-?”

Ironically, just as he said that, everything went black and white all over again as they heard Ambra speak… again. “Consider this recompense for organizing my doll collection based on hair color instead of last name alphabetical, Aria!! My justice is at hand!!!

“Wait… this whole revolution… is because of something between these two when they were kids?” Shayne asked, looking back at Eris and Discord. “That’s a lame reason for a revolt.”

“Well, as the… narrator of this particular story put it, Ambra did want to get one up on her sister…” Eris reminded them, recalling what Attikus said earlier. Then… they heard the other sister speak.

Ambra!! I should’ve known. This had your manipulation all over it… and for the record… that was ELEVEN THOUSAND YEARS AGO!!” Aria snapped, making Shayne and Aurox look back at Eris and Discord in disbelief.

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID!!!

“Wow… Girl sounds like she’s got problems.” Eris said, shortly before noticing Discord take up a pair of gauntlets and crack his knuckles.

“I’ll punch her problems!” His statement coincided with what Attikus soon told them as he tore off another set of doors.

“The sister’s retreated into her stronghold. We’re going to have to dig her out with our bare hands!!” He yelled. Discord grinned a little as they pressed on. However, unlike both the teen who adopted him and his actual mother… he didn’t express precautions regarding the next thing that Nova told them.

“Warning… Warning… A Jennerit Hover Tank is locking onto your location to take you out. Don’t get hit by their fire.” Discord was originally ignoring the objective, focusing on the enemies and pounding their faces into the dirt. But as the tank then hovered over and began to open fire, Eris called out to Shayne.

“Get him out of there! He doesn’t know that it’s a side objective!!” Shayne, hearing Eris’ statement, had Aurox fetch Discord out of the line of fire at the last second. Yet, the draconequus himself was not too happy about that.

“Oh come on! You broke the combo I was laying on those guys!”

Shayne sighed while Aurox grumbled and rolled his eyes. “Nova…”

“What?” The Magnus AI asked, partially confused for a few seconds until she realized her mistake. “Oh right… You get ops points if you make it over without getting hit. I was busy managing something on my end. Sorry.”

Discord grumbled upon hearing that as he looked back at the enemies in front of him. “Oh well… at least there’s always round two.” With that, he ran back into the fight once more and just as the hover tank was charging it’s weapons, Eris decided to put a cork in the charging systems on the tank. Making it overheat and explode as it crashed into the pits infinite pits below.

“Well… that was effective and rather… creative. Nevertheless, ops points awarded,” Nova spoke to them, before they all heard a ding sound effect in the background. “New reward tier reached. Oh fragious day, callooh callay!”

“Neat… I like rhymes.” Discord smirked. Shayne had Aurox called out at one point to initiate a tag team attack, drawing in all the remaining enemies together as the draconequus used the chance to pummel multiple faces at once. Taking them all down within seconds before looking back at the rest of the team as they saw Attikus racing to the door. And before you know it, another scene in black and white.

Ambralia… I can’t believe you would align yourself with these mangy creatures over your own blood... ” Aria spoke to Ambra in a taunting manner as the Silent Sister shot back at her moments later.

I rather have Rendain’s shivering lapdog for a sister than YOU, Ariana!!

Now that I think of it… I remember a young Claudia Ambralia Divia that quite loved dogs…” That caught both Discord and Shayne by surprise, even though Aurox didn’t really care that much about the subject. They had seen Ambra a lot on the ship and also on missions, but they honestly did not see her as the kind of person to be taking care of pets given how easily she can lose her temper sometimes.

And now was no exception. “How DARE you…

What was that puppy’s name? The one that I drowned on your tenth birthday.

Theodore!!

Right! You used to love rolling around in the dirt with that thing! Good to see things haven’t changed sister…

“Okay… that went dark pretty quickly.” Shayne said, before feeling something come up her throat. “I-i feel like I’m gonna be sick… I mean, why would she even drown puppies?! That’s just as bad as Orendi trying to see if ISIC is evil by having him kill a kitten.”

“Maybe it’s because she’s suppose to be evil?” Eris asked. Causing Shayne to shrug her shoulders as she looked back at both her and Discord.

“Fair point…” Aurox grumbled before Shayne could say anything, all three of them approaching where Attikus was as he spoke up once more.

“She’s just inside! Oh wait… Where are my manners? I’ll get the door.” He said, before using all of the strength in his arms and kinetic gauntlet to hold the door open for them. But just as he was about to come inside, a Jennerit fightership locked onto their position and started opening fire on Attikus, causing him to let go of the door as it was shut tight.

“That’s definitely not a good sign…” Shayne said as she had her boomerang our, armed and ready.

“What was your first clue?” Eris asked, looking back at them. “I mean, think of it… you're in an almost empty room, a lot of spread out space and big boy outside saying that Aria was just inside. Those are obvious signs for what’s gonna happen next-.”

However, one statement though didn’t seem to fit in quite right with one member of the group. Though, it wasn’t Shayne that was uncomfortable with the situation. It was Aurox. “Wait… Almost Empty?” Just as he said that, numerous pillars began to spew kinetic energy all around them as a small ball of lightning began to expand around the room. Forming the same sister that they had been chasing down the last few minutes.

“Oh hey, look! It’s the boss with the awesome design, yet not so awesome voice!”

“How DARE you insult me, you wretched thing!” The silent sister shouted out at him, before there was a red glow around the Draconequus’ eyes as a powerful laser was fired off at her.

“I am NOT a thing! My name is Discord… and YOU WILL FEAR MY LASER FACE!!”

“Wow, that was… pretty damn awesome!” Shayne admitted, before noticing Aria reform in the center of the room and several of the shock pylons dropping down. This time though, they were beginning to charge her shields. “Oh that’s just cheap!”

“Calm down, Shayney.” Eris sighed, throwing one of her weapons at a few of the pillars, destroying them and causing the shield that was recharging to slow down. “If we destroy the pillars, we prevent her from getting her shield.”

“Thanks… next time though, don’t call me Shayney. It sounds like something Orendi would say.”

“Shayney…” Discord repeated, writing it down into a notepad before snickering to himself.

“Don’t get any ideas…” Aurox mumbled.

“Too late for that.” He scarfed the notepad quickly. “I already have plenty of plans to execute.” With that, the group destroyed more of the enemies around them before swiftly getting to work on the thrall around the area that were in service to Sister Aria before attacking the silent sister herself. It took several minutes of repeating the same gameplan along with making sure they were on top of their health since Aria could severely damage them if they weren’t careful. But when they did finish her off and it began to rain loot from defeating her, the area was black and white… along with a tint of red for one more scene.

Goodbye sister… Thrall, your fee. A job… efficiently done.” Ambra congratulated as a new door opened up, allowing for the three of them to step inside to see all the spoils inside… which Discord immediately assumed were presents.

The case was closed. The dame left faster than she’d came in. I could get some rest. Maybe even pay my rent this month.” Attikus spoke up… just as they all heard the sound of his front door opening up and someone walking in. However, who they heard surprised all three of them.

Evening mister.

Aw bollocks…” They heard Attikus curse, all while Eris was beginning to restrain herself from laughing her head off.

“Wait… was that… Deande?!” Shayne asked, all while Discord was more focused on collecting all the loot he can get his paw and talon on while Eris was finally standing up straight.

“I don’t know how she is involved in this, but I want to see for myself now!” Eris replied. “Shall we go at it again, Nova?”

“Your wish is my command-!”

“Aww, but I wanted to loot all the things!!” Discord complained, shortly before the field was completely reset. It was now time for Round 2… this time with Deande as the client. “NOO!!! MY BOOTY!!!”
