| Aardvark: Welcome to the ASA, the Anti-Solar Alliance. As you can see we have tons of benefits to our members�*Points around the room to the people playing arcade games and watching TV* Aardvark walks up and stands on a crate in a corner. Aardvark: (Loudly) Troops, report for duty at once! The random people gather around Aardvark and talk quietly among themselves. Aardvark: As I told you last week when Peace arrived, we would be getting new members. Here they are. *Points at Goldenrod and Thor* Please present yourselves to the rest of the troops! Goldenrod: I am Axem Goldenrod. I am definitely A type. I like to �.to�.well; I�ve been so busy I�ve really had no times for hobbies. Thor: My name is Thor. I like to whack things with my hammer. I have sudden intelligent moments, once a week or so� oh yeah, I like Mickey Mouse! The troops stare, confused by Thor�s last sentence. Then all heads turned to Aardvark. Aardvark: Since my house was burned down in a fire last night, the new arrivals and I will be bunking with you tonight. We have no plans until tomorrow. I will tell you then� Meanwhile, make the new guests at home. Go on about your activities, I will personally introduce each of you, one at a time, to Axems Goldenrod and Thor. The groups of rebels shuffle back to their activities. Goldenrod estimates there are about 5 other rebels besides the ones he already knows. Aardvark: *Walks around with Goldenrod and Thor* Here is Tommy; he�s a tech kinda guy. Tommy: Hi! You can come to me if you need any specialized tools, for some of the jobs we do. I don�t go on the actual jobs themselves, but just prepare the tools. *Shakes Goldenrod�s hand.* Goldenrod: Nice to meet you, Tommy. I look forward to working with you. Aardvark: Next is Gabe. Gabe is the muscle man of the group. He is very stupid but very strong. Gabe: *Turns around from lifting weights* Hi, nice to meet you. Goldenrod: Same here. I�ll see you tomorrow on our job. And so Aardvark showed him (Thor wasn�t too concerned with anything, he�d just go along with whatever Goldenrod said) to the rest of the group. There is Tommy, the tech guy, Gabe, the muscle man, Jesse, a healer, Master, the mixed up Axem. George, the lightning Axem. Master is a very strange character, Goldenrod thought. He has a wind attack, a fire attack, a rain attack and an earth attack. Thor was also briefly introduced to the crew. He learned their names, in only a day. A record for him, if they kept track. The rest of the evening Goldenrod hung around Aardvark, not being too sure about his new allies. He asked what the jobs were. Aardvark: The jobs are little missions we do that help bring the downfall of Solar Inc. Some may include blowing up power plants that give them power. Others may include graffiti and riots. But now that Solar Inc. has the police on their side, we need to be more and more careful. I�m not too sure about Master�he seems kinda strange. He is the newest of our group. Goldenrod: (in a lower voice) I wasn�t too sure about him myself, but I think it will be ok. We better keep an eye on him and not let him have too much freedom. Aardvark: Yeah, ok. How is Thor? He seems like a moron. Goldenrod: He�s not a moron. I think he is just acting. He does have sudden bursts of intelligence. Those are becoming more and more often, which is a good thing. He would betray us; he just follows me around a bit. Aardvark: Ok. You better go talk to Tommy. Give him this, *Hands Goldenrod a piece of paper*. Please don�t look at it; it contains info for tomorrow�s job. Thanks. Goldenrod walks out of Aardvark�s office and sneaks a peek at the paper. Yo, Tommy, We�re going to go give the cops a big bang tomorrow. I need 3 C4�s and a couple of small explosives, to get through doors and such. About 6 or 7 I think. I stole blueprints from the construction company; there will be 17 floors we need to get to. I�ll give you detailed instructions later. THX, Aardvark All of the sudden, it became clear to Goldenrod, this was the big deal, this was what him and his group had wanted to start. He had found the right group. Peace had seemed to change though. She is no longer as quiet as she used to be. She seems to have grown more active in this group than she was ever in their group. This seemed too good to be true. They were the right group to be with. Something still bothered Goldenrod, this crew, they seemed familiar� Goldenrod: Tommy, here. Aardvark sent me to give this to you. *Hands Tommy the letter* Tommy: Thanks. Goldenrod: No problem. See ya tomorrow. *Walks over by Thor* Goldenrod: Thor, are you ready to go on a job tomorrow? Thor: No, I thought we were going to go heal Insane and Fear� Goldenrod: I forgot, I�m going to go ask Aardvark about that, I�ll be back in a minute. *Walks over to Aardvark�s Office* Aardvark: What�s up? Did you give the note to Tommy? Goldenrod: Yeah. Remember how Insane and Fear died? Well we still have their bodies saved, and was wondering if me, Thor and Peace could borrow your car and go back to try to bring Insane and Fear back to life? Aardvark: Hmm� Well, I guess I can�t hold you in here like its a prison. You can go but we need my van for a getaway car. But you take my other car, my 2019 Mustang? Goldenrod: Yeah! Sure! Thanks, can I have the keys? Aardvark: Settle down, how about you leave tomorrow morning? And where should we meet? Goldenrod: Ok, we�ll leave tomorrow morning. Um� I dunno. It will take about 3 or 4 days, depending on how long it takes us to revive them. Today is Tuesday, so we�d get back around Saturday or Sunday. We meet at The Happy Clown? Aardvark: The Happy Clown? That�s a new restaurant. Ok� Goldenrod starts to walk out but Aardvark� Aardvark: Oh yeah, *Goldenrod turns around* Here�s the keys! Aardvark throws the keys at Goldenrod. Goldenrod gets hit, in the chest, causing 60 damage. Goldenrod 450/510 Aardvark 601/601 Goldenrod grabs on to a musketeer�s sword hanging on a nearby wall. Goldenrod rushes and cuts Aardvark on the arm, causing 70 damage. Aardvark: Ahh� Aardvark sticks his tongue out and grabs the sword with his tongue; he takes the sword and eats it. Goldenrod: Umm�.that�s not gonna come out if you know what I mean� Goldenrod rushes at Aardvark, and uses his hand to jab Aardvark�s stomach. Causes 40 damage, and a 10 second breathing recovery. Goldenrod 450/510 Aardvark 491/601 Aardvark recovers after the jab to his stomach and uses Claw Fury, causing 200 damage. Goldenrod jumps on top of Aardvark while he is using claw fury, and wraps his legs around Aardvarks neck and starts choking him. Causing 70 damage. The two got so caught up in fighting that they didn�t notice Peace walk in. Peace: What the @#$% are you two doing? The two look over at Peace and try their best to look innocent. Goldenrod: Um...we were just messing around�. Peace: Get off him, don�t forget, we have a job tomorrow, and it won�t help if we are injured� Goldenrod: Well, actually you, Thor and I are going to heal Insane tomorrow. Peace: We are? Goldenrod: Yeah, unless you want Insane and Fear to remain dead. We need to go before their bodies start to deteriorate. Peace: Do you know how hard it is to revive a dead Axem? You have to be an experienced healer. Peace studied all night in a book Jesse let her borrow.
