Edron Bartholomew II

Edron Bartholomew II is a major character who appears in: Shadows of Visvara, Rugal Will Cry, and Radiance of Visvara.
A deranged amnesiac who is somehow the ruler of an entire island.
== Appearance ==
=== Shadows of Visvara - Chapter 2: Goblin Hideout Siege ===
The back of Edron's head is completely exposed, after hitting his head, so his skull is visible, although he has a plentiful amount of hair to cover it up, furthermore, he sports bearskin to cover it up.
=== Shadows of Visvara - Chapter 7: Bartholomew vs Belenus ===
Bartholomew recovered his old armour and began wearing that from that point onwards, despite his affinity for being in the nude. The armour was golden and covered every inch of his body meticulously, although his helmet had lost its face covering leaving it exposed, nevertheless most of his head was guarded with a helmet in the shape of a bear, which then connected to a cape. He would also begin using the Bartholomew Blade with this attire too.
=== Radiance of Visvara ===
Now 94, the majority of Edron's muscle mass has gone and he's been left a thin old man with a giant beard that reaches the floor.
== Synopsis ==
=== History ===
Edron Bartholomew II was once the ruler of Vibe Island, where he was revered as a benevolent king, even setting aside differences between him and his nemesis, Dominic Belenus, to put a stop terrorist forces. Although, he would eventually be bested in combat by his archenemy, Belenus the second, who threw his body out to sea, where he’d eventually wake up with a terrible case of amnesia in mainland Visvara. The only thing he could remember was his name and that he enjoyed bear imagery, so he skinned a bear and wore its body as his only form of clothing.
=== Shadows of Visvara - Chapter 2: Goblin Hideout Siege ===
While on his travels, Edron managed to seek refuge into a nearby inn, where he would later meet and join the West Side Boiz. After a night's stay at the inn they walked out and readied themselves for another day, only to find a blacksmiths. Wasting no time, Davril rushed over to it and burst through with Edron only to find that the blacksmith was hanging from the ceiling by a noose. Davril walked past him while searching for rocks only to find weapons, so he checked the body and found that he had a rock with a fez around his neck on a necklace, when he tried to grab it, the dwarf woke up and shouted at him. They had a long convoluted argument about the price, until Edron stepped up and intimidated the owner with immense might, causing him to offer it up for free. Leaving the shop, Davril and Ed met up with Borudash and Bulge, where they introduced the pair to Dylan, a delivery guy working for Borudash's company, Ewon Ltd., who had been ambushed by goblins. They set off for the goblin's hideout and on the way, he told the party that a mysterious warlock gave him a golden compass that he could give them as a token of thanks. When they arrived, they discovered that they were hiding in a rocky hillside with a river flowing down, but they decided to try climbing it instead, which they managed to do after some trial and error, only to be met with a narrow crack which could only fit one person at a time, so Davril and Edron investigated it only to find out that a group of goblins were on the other side. Still in his drunken haze, the Bulging Stick burst through the crack and started a fight with everyone else going in to help, but they finished so fast Edron didn't get to do anything. They continued through and found that there was a large opening to the left, revealing the spring the river was coming from, which was following down a path that a bridge was going over. Firstly, Dav looked into the springs and saw a large metal box, so Brugur dived down to get it. Altogether they found that it had embroideries of a large figure giving eighteen strange circles to eighteen small figures, and recalling what the previous blacksmiths had told him, Dav took a handaxe from Bob and cut open the top of the box to find two rocks, one with a deerstalker hat and one with a beanie. They consulted as a group and decided to split up between the paths, so Edron and Bulge went over the shaky bridge only to find a goblin patrolling the path, so Bulge threw his shurikens at him, but missed, so Ed threw his javelin and pierced straight through their skull. After a short while, the party reconvened across the bridge and saw that at the end of the path were two small goblins and a much larger one behind them, so they sprung forward for a surprise attack. Davril and Edron attacked the small goblins, while Borudash and Bulge attacked the bigger one, but they were able to retaliate, but the West Side Boiz came out victorious. Dylan went over to his backpack and found that all his items were intact and handed Bob the Golden Compass. Feeling a little bit guilty for punching him in the face, while drunk and having such a hard time, he gave him a raise of 5 copper pieces then said goodbye. The party investigated the compass and found that it was written in the same language as the Golden Sword, furthermore it wasn't pointing North, but rather more South East.
===Shadows of Visvara - Episode of Madness 1: Falcon Claw University ===
After defeating the goblins, the party decided to follow the direction of the golden compass, not knowing where it would eventually lead them. Since it was getting late, the West Side Boiz camped out for the night and Brugur Oradall Borudash was in charge of that night's dinner. He went out and found a plentiful supply of blue mushrooms, so he made a soup and everyone enjoyed it, only to find that they would be instantly knocked out and taken into something of a "joint dream world acid trip."
===Shadows of Visvara - Chapter 3: Golden Gauntlets===
After waking up from their collective drug trip they greeted Sigismund and welcomed him into the West Side Boiz before continuing their following of the golden compass. They eventually stumbled across a little town, but the café was bordered up with police tape, so Edron asked to go in and see, but they had to prove to the policeman that they were cool, so he flexed his muscles to intimidate him. It succeeded and he was allowed to go in with one person, so he picked the Bulging Stick. They entered and met two police officers, Kai Goose and William Rogers, who were investigating the scene. They explained that, about a month ago, a woman named Jenny had gone missing and they haven't found any leads, but they did find a strange door with a hole in the ground. Ed requested that the rest of the West Side Boiz come in to assist, and they were instantly permitted by Goose. They wondered about the hole for a while, but realised that the text on the hole matched the text on the golden sword and compass, in addition, they discovered that the compass and the hole were the same size, but Ed warned of incredibly dangerous and evil vibes coming from the hole, but Borudash put the compass in anyway and the doors swung open, revealing a staircase down into a dark space. The detectives told them to prepare first before going down into the dungeon, so they agreed and went into town. Davril and Bob decided to go to the blacksmiths only to find a giant man there. Davril asked if they had any rocks with hats on and the blacksmith got really angry and engaged in battle with the pair. Davril broke his rapier on the giant's tough skin and Borudash lost his left pinky finger. Luckily, his wife came over and calmed down her giant husband, then apologised to the pair. Davril received a new rapier to replace his old one as a further apology by the giant blacksmith. Borudash proceeded to talk to the wife, but he was using incredibly strange incoherent slang, so she didn't understand anything, so she sprayed him with water and asked him to leave, so Davril then asked the giant what else they're selling. The giant showed his wares, but an orange poncho peaked his interest. Upon realising he sells this item, Edron and the Bulging Stick entered, incredibly excited and eager for a poncho. They asked how much it was and the giant just said 12. The Bulging Stick bought one for GP 12, so Davril tried to haggle it down to GP 8, but the blacksmith got really angry, telling him that his grandmother made it with all her love, so he grabbed a poncho and wrapped it around his hand and punched Dav so hard he flew out of the shop and smashed into a tree. Ed tried to haggle too, and the blacksmith got angry again, but his wife tried to calm him down, telling him that they can't afford to repair all these walls and kindly asked that he just pay the 12, so he gave the giant CP 12 and went about his day. When they all left, they decided to go to the well, where they met an old street-dancing man called D-Money who was doing a new dance move called "the rock", where he'd pull out a rock with an explorer's hat on and do the orange justice on it. Desiring the rock, Davril challenged the old man to a dance-battle, then proceeded to do every single Fortnite dance, impressed, D-Money retaliated and prepared to do every single Fortnite dance on the rock at the same time, but slipped on the rock and cracked his head open, so an emergency funeral was immediately held. He was about to be buried with the rock, but Davril tried to use his mage hand spell to grab the rock, but he was instantly caught and D-Money's son, E-Money grabbed the rock and shoved it down his pants, so they followed him home, seeing him explain to his son, F-Money, that his grandfather is dead. His son got really upset, because he really loved street dancing and his father couldn't teach him anything, because he's just a regular, run-of-the-mill salary man. He ran out his house crying and bumped into Brugur Oradall Borudash, who tried to shove him in his bag, but the boy was able to escape and run back to his house to his father and told him what had happened. With a newfound vigour, E-Money grabbed his crossbow and aimed at Bob, telling him to leave his family alone, but he just charged at the man smashing him through his own home, killing him. F-Money was now on the floor crying and his mother came down the stairs and immediately sent out a pigeon to inform the police, but Edron grabbed the bird mid-flight and smashed it into the ground, until it was just a bloody puddle on the ground. Borudash proceeded to grab F-Money and bludgeon his pregnant mother to death with him, but the resulting action caused a candle to fall down and set the entire house ablaze, so he jumped out the window, when the two detectives from earlier showed up and comforted Bob, thinking he tried to save the family. The Bulging Stick was horrified by this turn of events and was completely disgusted by Borudash. They decided to leave, but they passed a ditch in the ground, where they saw a guy surrounded by frogs, so Sigismund talked to the frogs and asked them to leave. They were pretty chill about it and just walked away, smoking a couple cigarettes, but then Edron sneaked up behind them and killed them all, only to reveal that they were all ghost frogs. The man's name was Ara and he joined the West Side Boiz. Goose and Billbob appeared again and confirmed if they were ready to go down the dungeon. They went down with Kai at the front with his torch, but they soon realised that the path would split into two, so he took Sigi, Ed, and bulge right, while Billbob went left with Bob, Ara, and Davril. They found a dark red door, but Edron couldn't sense any vibes at all from beyond the door, so they cautiously opened it and found an incredibly classy looking library room with a velvet chair by a fireplace. Edron and Sigismund went over to the chair and Ed called out dad, only to find a monkey in a suit just kind of sat there. Edron tried to converse with the monkey, but it got really angry and started throwing his shit at him, so he retaliated by doing the same. Frightened, the monkey retreated to the fire place and set his shit on fire then threw his flaming hot poo at everyone. The Bulging Stick was able to cut through it, Kai was able to dodge it, but Ed got hit, and Sigi was overwhelmed. Bulge charged at him, but the monkey was able to dodge and shoot lightning out of his fingers, blasting him away, so Sigismund decided to just ask if the monkey would like any tea. The monkey began to cry upon hearing Sigi speak, because his voice reminded him of his dead son and he ran away crying. The party regrouped and went through the door in the library and found themselves in a massive boxing ring stadium and in the ring were two Earth-bending cows, but one was instantly crushed to death. The cow announced it was looking for a worthy challenger, so Borudash threw Reiss into the ring. Initially scared the skull winced, but then thought about how he named his son B-Money, then started to laugh, causing a torrent of wind to burst out and shoot straight through the cow. Victorious, the cow allowed them to proceed past him and they were met with a set of stairs leading down, so Davril led them down with his dancing lights, where they came across a man shouting at a woman on the floor. They all jumped down and frightened the man, who proceeded to ready himself for combat, talking big about his fire magic. They realised that the woman he was shouting at was Jenny, who was unconscious on the floor. Kai Goose asked for an explanation and so he explained that he had come to this dungeon to acquire the Golden Gauntlets for the Golden Artifact Seekers, but Jenny just came with him, despite his protest. Incredibly confused, Davril asked him to explain more about this golden weapon search and he explained that there were 14 golden weapons that were used to stop a malevolent old one called Big Chungus. Kai Goose and William Rogers took Jenny out the dungeon and the West Side Boiz agreed to help him get the gauntlets. The man, Zaoh Imnotgoodatmakingnames, explained that the gauntlets are at the bottom of a pool, but they can't touch the water, because they'll awaken the fragment of Big Chungus' life force that is trapped in the gauntlets, so they need his trusty fishing rod, but he ate it whole, since they were stuck in the dungeon for a whole month, so he tried to vomit it out, while the rest of the party just went down anyway. The Bulging Stick dived in and touched the gauntlets, suddenly causing a burst of darkness to consume everything around them. They were now stuck in a strange shadow realm and the gauntlets were spewing out this purple has that transmogrified into a figure resembling a well-built man. They got into a fierce battle with the fragment of Big Chungus and claimed the gauntlet as there's, but Bob and Reiss had a falling out and Reiss decided to make a body out of wind and he just left the dungeon. Meanwhile, Zaoh was still vomiting out the fishing rod to use, but they came back and showed him that they had the gauntlets and he just decided to give up on the Golden Artifact Seekers thing altogether and just entrust his weapon to the West Side Boiz, since they already had the sword and the trident (which they didn't even know was magic). He also explained that the countdown on the weapons was reaching 2 hours, so they had better follow the compasses quick.
===Shadows of Visvara - Chapter 4: Arrival of Big Chungus===
The party were racing their way through a dark forest to get to the meeting place the golden compass was leading them towards, but they soon realised that something was stalking them, it was batman and it attacked Davril, causing him to trip up and fall, so the Bulging Stick killed him swiftly, then removed his cowl, revealing it was a Chiropteran man. Borudash also searched his body and discovered four paper bats, which he kept before moving onwards. They eventually reached a small area of stone ruins, but then an old man rushed up to them and seemed to be relieved that he "wasn't the only one who was late", then smash his compass on the ground, teleporting him somewhere. Davril inspected the ruins, which had engravings telling them to smash the compass, so they all held hands, while Bob smashed it onto the floor. A blue light glowed over them and they were instantly transported into a large dome room, with paintings of old ones, the children of Muck Fish. They were rushed in by and elf man, who seemed to be running the operation, telling them that they were late for preparations and then announced to everyone that they only had 18 seconds until the countdown got to zero. They all anxiously waited for the countdown, but everyone holding a golden weapon instantly collapsed to the ground as their life force was being sucked out of them. Edron and bulge were able to instantly let go of the trident and sword respectively, but Davril was struggling to let go of his gauntlets, so Borudash rushed over and tore them off of him, saving him, but putting himself under its draining force now, fortunately he was strong enough to let go too. Relieved for a moment, they soon realised that everyone else was now completely drained save for the old man they saw earlier, the elf guy, a bear, and a generic looking anime girl. The weapons soon flew up into the middle of the room and formed a strange gold-tinted energy ball. Edron sensed the aura of the orb and merely said, "this is sending me some bad vibes guys", but Morgan Cantor, the elf bloke, angered by the turn of events, went up and attacked it, but instantly collapsed when the attack connected, which also caused the orb to disappear too. Davril inspected his body and found that he was dead, but saw his eyes were now glowing a gold colour. He turned around to tell everybody, but immediately saw Cantor get back up. Edron sensed his aura, feeling incredibly evil vibes, so he struck at him to try save Davril, allowing him to escape, but angering this now possessed version of Cantor. He held out his hand and formed a golden lance in it then slashed it across everyone, hitting everyone except Brugur Oradall Borudash, unfortunately, the three other people they were with were completely knocked out and the party had to take it on by themselves. The Bulging Stick and Bob attacked him, only doing minimal damage, but allowing everyone else to heal up a bit. Angered by the blows sustained, Cantor changed the lance into a fan and blew a cast of wind at them, which hit everyone except Davril and Edron. The wind didn't do any damage to them, but caused them to charmed, forcing them to attack their allies. Brugur slashed his greataxe at Davril, while Sigismund went to hit Ara, but accidentally tripped and hit himself with his scimitar. The Bulging Stick proceeded to throw a shuriken at Sigi, while he was on the ground, while Ara punched him. Davril went over to a now dying Sigi and force fed him a sausage roll, which seemed to make him better and Edron attacked Cantor to stop him from hitting them any further, but didn't stop him from slashing his lance at them all again. Everyone was able to dodge it, but everyone stuck to healing themselves, even Morgan, except Sigi, who threw a ball of water at him, and Ara, who asked Borudash to be launch him into the enemy, dealing massive damage with his inflict wounds spell. The fight was still not over and the party came at him swinging, but the Bulging Stick was able to deliver the final, devastating blow, causing Cantor to die, as the spirit of Big Chungus escaped his body. Exhausted from the battle, the party rested for a second only for Moneybags the bear to jump and tell them that he wasn't unconscious, he just wasn't eager to fight the possessed version of this already strong bloke. He rewarded them all with GP 100 each, as a thank you for dealing with the Golden Artifact Seekers' mess. Davril and Borudash tried to pet him, but he didn't notice Dav and bit off Borudash's other pinky. The Bulging Stick then tried to pet him and Moneybags enjoyed it so much that he gave him his business card for Brains 4 Days, telling him to send a raven to this address if they ever need a brain, then grabbed the other two unconscious people and left. Davril inspected the corpses of the Golden Artifact Seekers and managed to find GP 26 that he shared between the party and then they decided to leave. When they got out the cave, they realised night had struck, so they set up camp together, with Dav and bulge making rice with ox meat, with a side of Sigi's berries. They sat around the campfire and decided to share their backstories with one another in full for the first time, bringing them all closer as a the West Side Boiz. While they were enjoying festivities of teasing Brugur Oradall Borudash to the point where he started trying to beat up Ara, and building a romantic relationship (Edron and the bulging stick), they were suddenly stopped by a surprise appearance by Bear Bearington, who collapsed on Bob, bleeding to death, so Ara rushed over and healed him, noticing the plethora of arrows in his back, he warned them of hunters trying to kill him. Furious, Brugur marched further into the forest to kill them, so Ed carried Bear on his back and followed Davril, who was leading the way with his dancing lights spell. They eventually got ambushed by a flurry of arrows up in the trees from the hunters, so Bob set a tree on fire with a torch he made quickly, causing one of the hunters to expose his position and die in the fire, which began to spread into a circle of fire. The hunters jumped down, but Bob, and bulge slaughtered through two of them, causing the last one to try run away, but got caught in the fire and died. Bulge backflipped out the ring, but everyone couldn't match his incredible form, so Bear weakly told everyone to grab a hold of Ed, while he used his jetpack to fly them away. It was successful and they escaped the forest with bulge tailing along behind them on foot.
===Shadows of Visvara - Episode of Madness 3: Davril Town===
Bear had dropped the West Side Boiz at a nearby cave, while the forest beneath the burnt bright with flames. He collapsed from tiredness and the Bulging Stick had made his way up to the cave too. Everyone, tired from their recent fight with Big Chungus decide to rest also, but Davril spotted some nearby orange mushrooms, so Edron and Brugur Oradall Borudash inhaled some and fell asleep, while everyone else just ate them normally. Strangely, the mushrooms had once again flung all the West Side Boiz into another drug trip.
===Shadows of Visvara - Chapter 5: Thunderdome===
After a good night's sleep and a little discussion on last night's drug trip, the West Side Boiz part ways with Bear Bearington. The fire had subsided and died down substantially, so the party decided to have a walkabout only to find a fat old dude just lying on the floor, dying. They tried helping him up, but he was too fat and heavy, so they just gave up the prospect entirely and searched his body for wounds, finding a massive bloody gash below his belly button, so Edron tried to use lay on hands, but find that he couldn't use his magic. The man then yelled out, seeing that he was trying to use magic on him and two men in steel armour came over and got into a fight with the West Side Boiz. They were able to apprehend Davril and Sigi, but BOB killed one and managed to use the guard's handcuffs against him. Sigismund managed to break free and help everyone interrogate this guy, who claimed to be a guard from a nearby town that despises magic and non-humans, but was hesitant to reveal any more information they asked him, so Borudash broke a flute he had on him and the guard started crying his eyes out, so Edron tried to silence him by peeing in his mouth, but it just combined the sound of crying with gargling, which alerted a large group of more guards to come running over. Davril tried to lie to them, but the guards just saw the fact that there were a bunch of non-humans gathered around a now dead fat dude and guard, as well as a handcuffed one too, who's mouth was being pissed into, so they dragged their guard back to their side, freed him and threw a sleeping gas bomb at them, which everyone got hit by, except for Edron, who managed to slip away, while everyone else got arrested, but he watched from the distance, while everyone got taken into the nearby town, shackled. As they were being taken in, Davril had woken up and realised that he recognised the town as him birthplace, Chill, and was incredibly confused at how much had changed over the past 14 years, with it becoming completely fascist. They were eventually taken into a large metallic domed coliseum, but unbeknownst to the guards, Edron was following from behind and searched for a way in, only to find just a normal tick booth, where he met two twins called Billy and their dad, also called Billy, who gave him a ticket for free. He managed to get a front row seat, in the coliseum, where in the middle was a dome cage that only had one entrance. Edron then saw everyone be thrown in and was surprised to see everyone sticking their middle finger up at him, while an announcer stood up in his stand and very gloomily introduced the reigning champion, Blaster. A massive man stepped into the cage and he was wearing a strange, pitch black helmet, so his features were completely masked from them, but they all readied themselves to fight him. Sigismund ran straight up to him and punched him, but instantly broke his hand and Borudash picked Ara up and chucked him at Blaster, dealing some brutal damage to both. Seeing how utterly useless attacking him seemed to be without weapons, Davril tried to convince Edron to help them, but he had just gotten the most comfiest he'd ever gotten in his life and was playing Ring Fit Adventure with the bloke next to him. Blaster attacked with full force and landed some devastating blows into Borudash. The bulging stick smouldered at Edron, causing him to get quite flustered, but he realised that he does have to commit to their relationship, so he went down and ran into the Thunderdome with all his equipment. A scimitar was also thrown in by one of the organisers, and Davril grabbed it and passed it to Bulge, who used his ritual duelling to make Blaster focus his attacks onto him, but Bulge was mostly just getting pummelled into the Earth by him. Ara nearly died a couple times too, because BOB kept picking him up and launching him at Blaster. In the third round, a crossbow was thrown in, so Davril went to pick it up and shot it straight through himself, causing some mortal damage, especially since it wasn't a normal crossbow, so Sigismund went to grab it and managed to blast straight through Blaster. The rest of the fight became quite tumultuous and it seemed like they were about to be overwhelmed, but the bulging stick struck down with his katana with such force, he managed to cut straight into him with mortal damage, but he somehow got up once again, but just as all seemed lost, Ara, who was just recovering from the flurry of attack sustained by BOB throwing him around, punched Blaster, killing him. The audience cried out, booing the West Side Boiz. Not knowing what to do, the guards threw the party into the lower chamber, where Tom congratulated them and have them a bit of bread each to help them heal up a bit. He told them that he was planning to escape tonight, but since they seem to be in trouble now, they can make for it now, so he took out a rock with a bearskin hat and smashed the lock off, then threw it down and walked to a door around the corner. Davril picked the rock up and looked at his father, quite suspicious of him, as was Edron, but Bulge and Sigi didn't seem to care and just wanted to leave, so they all followed him. Tom took them into a separate room and told them to grab their equipment quickly, so they complied and then he pointed to a pool of sewage water and asked if they could swim. They all sighed and knew where he was going with it, but they followed him into the dirty water and they successfully made it out of the city, undetected. In the outskirts of the forest, they all seemed to be safe enough, so Tom pulled out a rapier and handed it to Davril, telling him that it was Delilah's indestructible rapier.
===Shadows of Visvara - Episode of Madness 4: Spell Slots Init===
After parting ways with Tom Higgenson, the West Side Boiz were ambushed by a large group of goblins, but they fought through them bitterly. Davril was quickly knocked out and he broke his rapier, but the rest of the party were able to hold their weight and Sigismund was able to kill every last one of them with a single use of Thunderwave in the end.
===Shadows of Visvara - Chapter 6: Diverging Paths===
A week after the escaping the Thunderdome, the West Side Boiz find themselves in the coastal town of Crino, where they went to the local café and met Jelkas Truboe, a bearded gnome man who worked for Ewon Ltd.. He explained to them that he was out making deliveries, but the waters grew incredibly violent and threw everyone overboard. Luckily he was able to return to land with his package in tact, so he went to the café to dry off and have a sausage roll. Not recognising his boss, Mr. Borudash, Truboe went to the post office to send a letter to him, but ended up just asking BOB to hold onto it for him, while he went "for a whiz." BOB read the letter and it essentially asked him to get a boat for him, so the party went to the nearby docks to get a boat, where they met a large half-orc dude, who was the brother of a massive blacksmith bloke that had previously knocked Davril's lights out. In exchange for CP 12, they managed to get an 8-person canoe that could only move with the half-orc's instructions, as its mechanics were beyond the party's comprehension. As they set sailed with Truboe as well, they found that to start the canoe they had to whack a strange green orb into the head of the person in front, so everyone did that, with Sigismund and Borudash taking some pretty brutal damage from the Bulging Stick and Davril respectively. As they began moving they put on some tunes and chilled on their way to the island of Saios, but suddenly felt strange ripples in the water. A giant squid monster burst out the water and attack them, so the party prepared for combat. Borudash threw Truboe at the squid, but it failed to do anything and the gnome died in the process. Bulge and Edron jumped onto its back and started hacking away, but it went underwater, so they had to go back up for air. BOB attempted to throw Ara into the water after the squid, so that he could use inflict wounds on it, but he failed to get anywhere and just smacked onto the water. Edron managed to get back onto the canoe, but as soon as he did, the monster burst up form beneath him and threw him, Sigi, and the half-orc bloke overboard, but Davril and Borudash managed to stay on and they contemplated abandoning everyone. While falling, Sigismund used thunderwave, killing the monster and sending him hurdling backwards with the canoe. The canoe splashed into the water, while Dav and BOB hit each other with green orbs to get it to start, but Sigi managed to land in the canoe as it zoomed off into the horizon. Ara, Edron, and Bulge were now alone at sea and the monster fell into the water sending a tide over them, knocking them out and made them float endlessly at sea.
===Shadows of Visvara - Chapter 7: Bartholomew vs. Belenus===
The waves proved forgiving that evening, as Ara, Edron, and Bulge had somehow all floated onto the exact same shore, alive and well. They found themselves on a sandy beach and stumble upon a strange man who looks strikingly similar to the Bulging Stick, but he seemed to recognise Edron, so he allowed them all to take refuge in his bakery in town. The town itself seemed to have seen better days, and the man, whose name was Bulge Anus, explained that it was all thanks to their new king, Belenus. They got to his bakery and he gave them all complimentary muffins and hot chocolate, which were the best they'd ever had. Bulge Anus then asked if Edron wanted his old stuff, to which he agreed to, so he went into his basement and pulled out some beautifully designed armour, which had a bear head piece, that connected into a bear shaped cape. At the sight of the armour, Ed instantly took off what little clothes he had and dawned on his new gear, where he was then presented with the Bartholomew Blade. Bulge Anus requested that they defeat Belenus and save the town, to which they agreed, but not before going to a local antique store to look at their wares. The vendor was a hunch-backed lanky white dude with broken circle glasses, prompting Bulge to say, "ha, that looks like Davril." The vendor showed them his cupboard of available wares, revealing an assortment of items, so Edron bought Bulge an ahegao hoodie, and Bulge bought him a signed BTS shirt. Ara wanted an anime girl figurine with the head of Muck Fish, but he had no money, because Borudash had stolen it all at some point, so his friend chipped in to help him out. Ed wanted a strange furby device that was also an explosive, but failed to convince the vendor to give it to him, so his boyfriend intimidate the vendor so hard that he just gave them the bomb and forced them out his shop. Fully equipped, they headed over to the royal estate and Ara, despite his newly found speech impediment, managed to convince the gatekeeper to let them in. As they walked in, they saw a fountain and Bulge cheekily pushed Ed in, causing him to pull his lover into it with him, while Ara just kind of awkwardly stood there watching. Noticing his friend's uncomfortability, Ed adopted Ara as his son, with Bulge as his other guardian. As a family they walked up to the manor before them and Ara's new parents encouraged him to knock on the door and say "trick-or-treat". A butler opened the door and noticed Edron and led him up to the throne room, where they saw three people. Belenus noticed the party enter and asked if he was back from the dead and ready for his second beating, but having next to no knowledge of the past battle, Edron merely readied his new blade. Meanwhile, one of the other figures, a dark brooding ninja looked at Bulge with shock, then pulled down his mask and said, "dude! It's me Zenix!" The two got to talking and Zenix explained that Katelyn was killed by the SJD, but also that Belenus had saved his life, so he had a blood oath to him. The Bulging Stick tried to convince him to break the oath, but, due to his honour being bound to him, when Belenus initiated his duel, Zenix fought his old friend. Ara was then forced to do battle with the opposing mage, Hora, who clearly outmatched him within the first throw of combat. Belenus then began "summoning the full power of his blade", with a magic chant and even waited for Edron to execute his, but realised that he'd lost his memories, so he couldn't utilise the blade to its full potential and swung at him, but their fight ended somewhat swiftly with Ed landing some brutal blows with his new blade. Belenus collapsed to the ground and his son walked in to witness Ed decapitate him. The Belenus Blade rolled over to his son, who ran away with it, disappearing beyond the manor. Meanwhile, Zenix had helped Bulge up after absolutely wiping the floor with him, noting that since Belenus is dead, he failed his oath and is now technically free to do whatever he wants, so he took "his new main shag", Hora, who was actually a woman, despite how handsome a man he looked like. They went to a nearby bar and got chatting and Hora revealed that, as a telepath, she could communicate a telepathic message to someone they know, if they so desired, so Bulge and Edron agreed.
===Shadows of Visvara - Chapter 9: Shimada Justice Division Arrive===
After a tumultuous journey along the waters, Davril successfully managed to get BOB and Sigismund to Vibe Island. A butler greeted them and Davril requested his clothes, so the butler promptly took his off, then picked up BOB and lead them all to a nearby bakery, where the rest of the West Side Boiz were, except for Ara, because it was his past bedtime. In addition to them, the Bulging Stick's old friend, Zenix, and his main shag, Hora, were there two, alongside the Ring Fit Guy. They all enjoyed each other's company once again, except for Borudash, who was barely awake, but tragedy befell them when Ringus Fitgus decided to go outside to look at himself through the mirror, while playing Ring Fit Adventure. The street lights suddenly went out and all everyone inside the bakery could see was darkness, but when they were relit, they noticed Fitgus had vanished, so they all went out and split up to search for him. Zenix, the Bulging Stick, and Hora left to investigate the palace first, while Edron got a nearby guard to take Brugur Oradall Borudash to the palace to sleep, leaving Edron and Sigismund to discuss where they should look first, as Davril was looking for rocks in the bakery, where he found a signed poster of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Bulge Anus told him to put it back, but Davril replied saying that he'd only do that if he gave him a coffee and a cupcake, prompting Bulge Anus to punch Davril so hard that he went flying out the store, but he still had the poster, so he ran to the beach, so Ed and Sigi followed. When they reached the beach, they noticed a menacing looking boat, but knew no information about it, so Davril got on the boat and started pretending he was on ship with a crew full of people called Craig, causing a man called Craig to reply back from the palm tree forest behind them. Davril traded "his boat" for the delicious looking sandwich Craig had, so they traded and he took them all to his house, where they met his wife and his severely depressed cat. Meanwhile, Bulge, Zenix, and Hora didn't gather any useful information, besides that some people joked it could be ninjas, which unsettled the two former Shimada Clan members. They then went to the antique store, where Bulge busted the door down and swapped his current katana for one with hentai designs on it, but gathered no new information. The three of them then decided to go to the beach, where they found a boat with the Shimada Clan emblem on it. Terrified of what this meant, all three of them returned to the others in the centre of town, where they suddenly saw 6 shadowy figures fly past them, forcing them to look up at a streetlamp. The light was vague, but they just made out something dangling, so Bulge stood in front of his lover, Edron, and threw his katan straight at it, suddenly realising it was the dismembered body of Ringus Fitgus. His body collapsed on the ground before them and the shadowy figures stood up on top of Craig's house and announced, "Zenix! Bulge! For your heinous betrayal of the Shimada Clan, you shall both be killed. You are all that's left of your little group, so give up now and turn yourself in for an honourable death." The two looked at each other and agreed to run in different directions to split up the amount of Shimada Justice Division members they'd have to face individually. The West Side Boiz ran into a nearby woods, where four of the figures pursued them, but Davril pissed himself, allowing their enemies to close in and ambush them. A fierce battle ensued and the West Side Boiz were losing badly, especially since Kaon managed to shock Edron, and Sigismund caused a tree to collapse on Davril, prompting Vos to force his torture mask onto him, permanently scarring his face. They were about to be slaughtered, but Vos enjoyed tormenting them just enough to let them live, so he put magic bracelets onto them all that would painfully kill them if they didn't return to central perk for a rematch within the next 31 days. With their deaths practically ensured, Vos and the other members of the SJD left, leaving the West Side Boiz to try heal and return to the town. Edron and Davril went to commission a statue of Ringus Fitgus to put in the centre of Vibe, while the Bulging Stick looked for his friend, only to find the bloody remains of Hora and Zenix's scarf.
===Shadows of Visvara - Episode of Madness 6: Jenny Wars===
The West Side Boiz set sail from Vibe Island back to Visvara to continue their journey, so Edron decided to go into the woods and find ingredients to cook a meal for them to have on the trip there. He managed to concoct a soup with some red mushrooms they found and everyone, except for Davril ate some on the boat. Strangely, all of the crew that ate the soup started to feel a bit sleepy, so they went to sleep, leaving Davril in charge of steering the boat.
===Shadows of Visvara - Chapter 10: Tribbiani Tribulation===
Davril had sailed everyone safely back to the country of Visvara at a rather plain looking town. The West Side Boiz were in good health, except for BOB and Sigismund who'd apparently gotten a little sea sick, nevertheless they explored their current area, where Davril suddenly saw a beautiful elven woman holding a sign by a fountain, so he tried to push her in, but was too weak to do anything, so she punched him with incredible damage. The Bulging Stick, who was meanwhile playing around with Edron in the fountain took the notice of the sign, since it had his name on it, so he inquired, and she explained that she was looking for the Bulging Stick, because "Window the great wisdom tree" sent her to do so. Bulge told her that he was the man she was looking for, but was told to answer one question - "what letter does the Bulging Stick's name begin with", so he responded with 'L' and was allowed into her nearby carriage alongside the others. She took them into the wood, where a squirrel in full armour jumped in through the window and started attacking everyone, but Edron managed to calm it down and tame it, finding out that its name is Sir Poopalot the Pogger. Eventually they reached a small opening in the woods, where they found Window in the centre, so Davril climbed on top of him and sat down, while he conversed with Bulge. After catching up for a bit, Window explained that he's now been having visions about a calamity quickly approaching that will doom the entirety of Visvara and that he believes that the West Side Boiz are the key to stopping this ordeal. Bulge and Davril relented this statement, highlighting that they're collectively quite useless an bad at doing their job, but Window insisted. Ultimately he managed to convince them to at least hear him out, so he explained that he believed a war would set the calamity in motion, so he quickly assumed that the one in question would be the Central Perk Clan Wars between the Shimada Clan and Bing Clan, so he said that the West Side Boiz should unify the four weaker clans: the Greene Clan, Geller Clan, Buffay Clan, and Tribbiani Clan. This alliance would ultimately be enough to take down both the Shimada Clan and Bing Clan. Seeing the plausibility of this plan the West Side Boiz agreed to help, so they collectively decided to go see Joey Tribbiani first, the leader of the Tribbiani Clan. The elven woman, Trish, escorted them to the Tribbiani Clan Headquarters and dropped them off their, except for Sigi and BOB, who stayed in the carriage, since they were still sick. A man came out of the headquarters and told the party to state their business, so they told them they were there to see Joey, so he searched them for weapons and let them in anyway, believing they were too weak to handle them anyway. The man took them to the top floor, where Joey was in a meeting room by himself, so Bulge explained the concept of the alliance to him. Tribbiani was interested in the idea, but ultimately wanted to test out the abilities of the West Side Boiz himself to see if they were worthy of joining. Joey was quite strong and did some decent damage to them with nothing but his bare hands, so Davril tried to convince him with a bite of Craig's wife's sandwich, which he really liked and agreed to join them anyway, but just as they were all about to leave, an arrow suddenly pierced through Joey's stomach, wounding him gravely, so Edron immediately went over to heal him, noticing that the attacker was Vos. The man from before, Zach Miller, came into the room telling Joey that the Shimada Justice Division had invaded the headquarters, then saw Vos jump in. Miller told the West Side Boiz to take Joey to the secret exit, while he held back Vos. The party took him out the room and down a corridor, suddenly finding that Kaon and the Pet were running between the rooms alongside it, killing people. The Bulging Stick and Joey Tribbiani managed to successfully roll their way through without a sound, only to look back and find that everyone else was fumbling their way through breaking every fragile object in their path, one of which was a prized glass sculpture of a duck, but Ara mended it back for Joey, who was holding back tears. Ultimately, Kaon sent Pet to investigate the noises, so they had to fight the dog and were failing to do so quite miserably, so Davril slept it and they caught up with the other two. They'd instantly seen Tarn outside the entrance, slaughtering people there, so they went through a side door, which ended up being the building's septic system, but they powered through regardless. They ran down the system and filled the glass duck sculpture with poop, only to find Helix at the end of waiting for someone to fight. Davril instantly said 'get a load of this guy', hurting Helix's fragile feelings. Helix then revealed that he'd pre-emptively covered the sewers in oil, then lit it on fire with a sacred flame, burning everyone in the process, but they managed to power through and continue fighting the giant orc, with a flurry of blows that missed, but Davril's powerful insults drove the man to insanity, ultimately causing him to cry tears of blood before collapsing and dying miserably. They all continued down the sewer and escaped from the SJD. Joey Tribbiani affirmed to the party that the Tribbiani Clan will be joining the alliance, as soon as they can regroup from the assassination attempt. They parted ways and managed to return to the carriage with Trish, Borudash, and Sigismund, where they made their way to the Geller Clan Headquarters.
===Shadows of Visvara - Chapter 12: Buffay Way===
Trish escorted the West Side Boiz to a set of woods just on the outskirts of Central Perk where the Buffay Clan was supposedly held. Davril and Brugur Oradall Borudash were tired from the journey and the events of the previous night, in addition Sigismund was still too sick to join the party, so the Bulging Stick, Edron, and Ara made their way into the nearby cave. As they entered, they were faced with three different pathways, forward, left, and right, so the Bulging Stick strapped Ara to a harness with a rope and sent him left, where he found a dark corridor with small holes in the walls. He decided to investigate them and discovered that they each had arrows in them that would be set off if the correct floor panel was pressured, which Bulge instantly slammed his foot on, sending a flurry of arrows into Ara, nearly killing him. After recuperating, Ara continued down the corridor and found a dead-end, so he started bashing the wall with his mace, but he accidentally set off one of the mechanisms in the wall that didn't fire properly and it set off, stabbing him in his side. Finished with that pathway, Ara was yanked back with the harness and the three of them went right instead, where they found a rickety wooden door, which the Bulging Stick spent an unreasonable amount of time trying to kick down after trying, and failing, to bond with his son. The interior of the room juxtaposed the door used to enter it, as well as the cave it's inside of, as the room was beautifully designed and was adorned with portraits of all the previous patriarchs and matriarchs of the clan. The three of them investigated the room and Bulge found that portrait of the 19th patriarch didn't have anything behind it, so he punched through it and tore down the portrait from the wall, revealing a hole just big enough to crawl through. Ara however discerned that the end of the hole was a little too dark for his liking, so he attempted to break the portrait's frame, so that he could light them and use them as torches, but he pulled a muscle trying to snap it, so Bulge did that for him too, breaking off three evenly sized chunks of wood for them to use as torches. They all eventually climbed through the hall and found themselves in another corridor, only to find that one part of the cave turned from stone and dirt to wood (apparently birch according to Ara), but as they walked over it, they found that there were no supports in the centre of it, and they all fell down the pit into a pool of spikes, mortally wounding them all. Ara was near death, but fortunately Edron had his signed BTS t-shirt, which he used to tend to his wounds and help him recover. Then, Edron and Bulge jumped out of the pit with pure strength alone and pulled Ara up with the harness he was still attached to. They continued onward and eventually turned a corner to find a strange door made of wood (apparently mahogany according to Ara), which they opened to find Mike Hannigan. Hannigan instantly assumed a fighting stance, wanting to test the strength of the intruders, he attacked Edron and missed, so he retaliated by swinging his Bartholomew blade, but missed and hit his own leg, while Hannigan backflipped away, only to be swung at by the Bulging Stick. Trying to recover from the attack, he was seemingly distracted for a second and was blasted into the wall by Ara, who forced Hannigan to forfeit, telling them that they're free to pass on through the cave. After the battle, Hannigan left and the party searched the room, finding GP20 (which Ara got GP 2 of, while his parents split the rest evenly), alongside a rock with cat ears that Edron hid up his ass. They exited the room and eventually found themselves in between stairs going up and stairs going down, so they decided to descend, because "red dudes with horns are straight as fuck." As they went down they began hearing strange meowing sounds, ultimately finding the cave's cat pit, which Edron and the Bulging Stick set on fire, after Mike Hannigan was done soaking in it - much to Ara's dismay. They saw Hannigan back upstairs, who didn't seem to question the smell of burnt cat and followed him up the stairs, but as they reached the top they lost sight of him and found themselves in a gigantic opening in the cave, with a rapid river blasting its way down under a shoddily constructed bridge. They all decided to cross it, so Ara and the Bulging Stick went first and made it a good ways forward with no issues, but as soon as Edron stepped on it, the entire bridge began shaking and it turned in on itself. Fortunately, Ara and Edron managed to hold onto it when it turned upside down, but Bulge fell off, having to hold onto Ara's harness rope for dear life. Desperately clinging for both of their lives, Ara pleaded for Bulge to unload some weight, so he chucked his anime porn hoodie, orange poncho, and severed hand to Edron, who managed to catch everything except the poncho. Despite successfully removing some weight, Ara still couldn't hold on much lighter, so Bulge sacrificed himself and let go, so that the others could make it across. After monkey-barring their way across, Ara and Edron healed themselves of any injuries and moved onward, praying that they'd meet back up with the Bulging Stick later. They then found themselves in front of two steel door adorned with the Buffay Clan emblem, so they pushed them open and discovered another large opening in the cave with a traditional Japanese-style temple next to a large pond within the cave, in addition, a plethora of cats were mooching about in there. They seemed to like Ara and they started congregating around him, but when Edron tried to pet one, they seemed to sense his prior crime and started hissing and clawing at him. Noticing the nearby cats were making a fuss, Phoebe Buffay appeared and Edron started trying to negotiate with her to join the "Friends Alliance", although she was adamant that they didn't have the power to do so, even when Edron explained that they'd managed to convince the Tribbiani Clan, Geller Clan, and Greene Clan to join too, ultimately resulting in Phoebe challenging the two of them to a fight to test their might. Meanwhile, the Bulging Stick was being swept down the river rapids, eventually managing to wash up onto a rock. He pulled himself up onto it and carried himself into an opening he could see in the distance, where he saw two large grey men both called John. He asked for their help, but made the mistake of calling them "stone people". Assuming he was a racist they got increasingly angry and hostile, although Bulge tried to calm them down and eventually managed to bond with them by talking about JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Quickly becoming acquainted, they helped patch up his wounds and took him to the Buffay Temple, where the three of them entered the battle that was being ensued. During the fight, Phoebe summoned a giant, smelly cat called Killer Queen that started sweeping away at them all, but it was in vain and she was defeated. Having witnessed the party's abilities, she agreed to join the alliance, marking the milestone of recruiting all the weaker clans in Central Perk.
===Shadows of Visvara - Chapter 13: Battle of Central Perk - Part 1===
Two weeks had passed since the West Side Boiz recruited Phoebe Buffay into the Friends Alliance, but in the meantime all four clans were secretly plotting an all-out attack on the Shimada and Bing Clan. Joey Tribbiani sent a calling card out to their respective chairmans, challenging them to war a top the Central Perk tower. Leaving Trish and Ara with Window for their own safety, the West Side Boiz arrived at central perk at midday, where they found it completely desolate, since all the people living there had evacuated for the war that was about to go down, however they saw one place with its lights still on, so they decided to investigate, where they found a newly opened establishment called KaraoKen, with its owner, Ken inside. He invited them in and got them a booth, where the Bulging Stick asked him to join them, so they all sang 'We're All in This Together', except for Sigismund. Edron then decided to sing 'WAP' on his own, followed by Bulge singing 'Golden Wind', ending with BOB singing 'Rawr XD'. After they said there goodbyes with Ken they went to the Central Perk café, where they saw John 1 and John 2, where they updated the West Side Boiz that they were now on Episode 27 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable, in addition they were struggling with a seven letter word with the clue 'Fight or flight when I see mine, perhaps', which Edron managed to figure out was 'enemies', although Davril managed to convince them that the answer was Dogs and they believed him. Edron started screaming 'enemies', but Davril continued to convince them that all the answers were just dogs, and they had a full crossword puzzle with the word dogs written in it several times. Eventually Edron gave up trying to help John 1 and John 2 then got a hot chocolate from Gunther, the mayor of Central Perk, and Davril got three espressos. The party then decided to go to the Central Perk tower, where they saw Bear Bearington, who was selling a variety of items. The Bulging Stick bought a grappling hook, then Brugur Oradall Borudash bought a 10 feet long metal chain, BTS sticker set, a shovel, and a can of tuna, however when Bulge enquired about if the grappling hook worked, Bear flew away in his jetpack, leaving them on their own, but at the very least wishing them good luck in their battle. Not giving up, Bulge tried to bargain with Borudash for his chain, but he wouldn't give it up, so he marched back over to KaraoKen and asked Ken if he had any chain to use for his grappling hook, but all he had was spaghetti, so Bulge took and payed for him to go get a muffin instead, then spent a small while tying the pot of spaghetti into a grappling hook chain. Meanwhile, BOB asked the rest of the West Side Boiz if they wanted his BTS stickers, and Edron was absolutely begging for them, but BOB would only give them up for GP 100, which Sigismund ended up paying. Davril then stole the stickers, then attempted to eat them, enraging Edron, so he tried to punch him, but missed and was slept by Davril, who successfully ate the stickers. The Bulging Stick then approached Monica Geller, since he felt like the party was now ready, although she was quick to point out that he was still wearing Shimada Clan armour, so she gave him a new set of armour, without any clan symbols on it. Thankful for his new outfit, he changed immediately and waited for Joey Tribbiani, who took them up to the rooftop at 9 o'clock. A top the tower they felt the cold night air, then looked down to see that all the Central Perk clans had arrived, organised in their colour-coordinated uniforms. Suddenly, two figures dress in red and blue respectively approached the tower and the West Side Boiz soon found out that it was Ross Shimada and Chandler Bing. Ross scoffed at Joey for bringing backup, then summoned the Shimada Justice Division behind him from the shadows, prompting Davril to spit at them in disgust. Tesserace was now more eager to rip him to shreds, but was stopped for a moment by Ross himself, meanwhile clanking and banging was sounding around them, and Chandler then revealed that a bunch of Bing Clan ninjas were climbing their way up the tower in secret to ambush them. All three clan leaders then looked at each other with an intense seriousness then charged at one another with all their fists colliding at once, creating a massive shockwave of power that blasted all the backup away and cracked open the roof, causing the clan leaders to be suspended in the air above the rest of the combatants. Dropping down to the lower level, the West Side Boiz and Shimada Justice Division faced off with equal numbers, then Tarn pointed at the Bulging Stick with his doubled bladed sword and bellowed "you're the last one left to kill." Prompting Bulge to say that he'll be the one strike Tarn down, but before they could initiate combat, a ninja from the Bing Clan charged at Tarn only to be grabbed and ripped in half by him. After a terrifying roar from Tarn the West Side Boiz and SJD ran at one another and were now locked in combat. Instantly, Bulge and Tarn locked onto one another and began exchanging powerful blows away from the others, then after some distance was created, BOB spun Davril around and threw him at the Pet, where Dav followed up with a thunderwave, splitting the SJD up and taking out some of the Bing Clan ninjas. Edron began swinging at mortal damage at Kaon, with Sigismund throwing a sacred flame at Tesserace. Kaon retaliated by shooting a lightning strike at Davril, nearly killing him in the process, but the Bing Clan ninjas stormed in and began slashing away at both parties. Borudash and Edron rushed over to Davril healed him back up with a can of tuna and some divine magic, then BOB and Davril repeated the same attack from earlier with similar results, while Sigismund turned into a bear. The Pet began attacking Borudash head-on, preoccupying his position, while Vos and Tesserace began attacking Davril and Edron, while Kaon shot Sigismund with another lightning bolt, sending him flying and into critical condition, only surviving due to being in his bear form. Suddenly, the Bulging Stick managed to get a powerful strike into Tarn's side, enraging the towering orc, so he smashed down into Bulge with his foot, which had claws on the ends digging into him. Tarn was crushing his opponent beneath his heal, so Davril rushed in with his rapier to try assist his ally, but Tarn was able to dodge the attack with his foot still on Bulge, but he managed to summon an unknown strength and lifted the orc's foot off of him, only for his opponent to retaliate by grabbing Davril's neck and smashing him down into Bulge with immense power. Meanwhile, BOB and the Pet had been furiously exchanging blows, but after a while, the orc entered a rageful state and began swinging down at the dog with immense power, prompting Vos to try hold him back with slashes at his back, but he was unfazed and eventually managed to slice the dog in two with his battleaxe. Kaon grew intensely furious, seeing his dog being killed before his very eyes, so he charged at the orc, only to be stopped by Edron, who was then barged into by Tesserace. Tarn prepared his next attack by splitting his doubled-blade sword into two to swing down at Davril and the Bulging Stick, but the former managed to slip away before he could even swing the blades and the latter was able to narrowly evaded the attack. Davril then turned his attention to Kaon and tried to hold him back from Borudash, but was instantly blasted away with a jolt of lightning. Kaon and Borudash then became locked in combat, resulting in Tesserace and Vos dealing with Edron. Meanwhile, Sigismund was still nearly dying from Kaon's earlier attack, but Edron managed to finally acquire the time to heal Sigi up enough to be stabilised. Sigismund continued to heal himself, while Tesserace and Vos attacked them, but they were able to dodge their attacks and survive. Vos then turned his attention to Davril who had nearly recovered from shock by trying to place his torture mask on his face. The two struggled with the mask, but Davril succumbed and mask opened up old wounds and did incredible damage, but Davril retaliated by kicking Vos in the balls, only to find the attack ineffective, since Vos is apparently has iron bollocks. After a continuing fight between the two, Davril managed to kill Vos and the death bracelets on himself, Edron, Sigismund, and the Bulging Stick disappeared magically. Edron, and Sigismund then combined there power to kill Tesserace, while Davril began heating up Tarn's metallic armour, dealing some damage to him, but he was then shocked to find that Tarn was able to flex his muscles so hard that all of his armour bursted off and flew away in hundreds of tiny pieces of shrapnel, killing the remainder of Bing Clan ninjas still there and hitting all the West Side Boiz, except for Sigismund, who was also a bear again. Borudash began to lose the fight between himself and Kaon, entering critical condition, but he'd weakened his blindfolded foe significantly, allowing Edron the opportunity to cut Kaon down, while Sigi healed BOB up. Kaon staggered backwards in shock and uttered his final words, "this wasn't how it was supposed to be." With the majority of the Shimada Justice Division now killed, Borudash began falling asleep from his exhaustion and everyone rushed over to assist the Bulging Stick in his losing struggle against Tarn. Seeing his allies successful in their fights with the rest of the SJD, Bulge summoned more strength and pushed back against Tarn, then teamed up with Sigismund to deliver a devastating final combination attack onto Tarn, smashing him into the pillars holding Joey, Ross, and Chandler up, ultimately causing it to collapse on top of him as he bellowed one final roar.
===Shadows of Visvara - Chapter 14: Battle of Central Perk - Part 2===
A piece of rubble hit Davril and knocked him out clean, but as the dust settled, the rest of the remaining West Side Boiz saw Ross Shimada and Chandler Bing still exchanging powerful blows at one another, while Joey Tribbiani was knocked out cold from the fight. Edron rushed over to Joey and healed him, but he'd already broken his legs, but gave him a mint as a thank you regardless. Ross and Chandler stopped fighting for a second and turned their attention to the West Side Boiz, seeing that they were the only surviving group of backup, so they prepared to fight them instead of each other for a moment, since they were larger in numbers. Ross stared down the Bulging Stick and shouted out hi his real name, Leonardo Turtle, then ripped off his bodywear to reveal his dragon tattoo in all its glory. The two instantly clashed swords in a ritualistic duel, while Chandler Bing began doing battle with Edron and Sigismund. The battle became intense, although the two clan chairman were significantly weaker than normal, since they'd just been fighting one another with full force previously. During the fight, Ara appeared, having forced Trish to give him a ride there to help out and making his way up Central Perk Tower, where he started blasting his magic at Chandler Bing. Meanwhile, the fight between Bulge and Ross grew more fierce and Ross unleashed the Dragon Blade's full potential, summoning an astral Shimada Dragon at all of the combatants, dealing an insane amount of damage to them all, despite this, Bulge managed to press forward and cut deep into his old master with empowering resilience. Ross, realising his loss, seathed the Dragon Blade up and handed it to Bulge alongside his chairman's pin, awarding him the status of 2nd Chairman of the Shimada Clan. Chandler Bing, seeing his rival defeated, collapsed from exhaustion and the war was won. That very night, all the clan leaders gathered by Central Perk river and sent off Ross Shimada's corpse on a wooden raft, which was set alight by an arrow on fire by Bulge, who was also inaugurated as the 2nd Chairman that same night. Peace finally befell Central Perk for the first time in years, but, after the clean-up on Central Perk Tower, it was reported that Tarn's body was missing.
===Shadows of Visvara - Chapter 15: Halloween 2020===
Following the Bulging Stick's inauguration as the second chairman of the Shimada Clan, he decided to continue his adventure with the West Side Boiz, so they set off on their travels again. After three days of travel, they decided to set up camp for the night, so they all separated for their own tasks, but as Sigismund was walking back to the camp from collecting wood to start a fire, a pale-skinned woman smashed into the tree next to him and she was closely followed by a Dogon, a large dog-like aberration with no eyes and three tentacles on its back. The West Side Boiz took to arms to assist the woman, eventually finding out that she was vampire. They went back to the campsite, finding a cottage that the Bulging Stick managed to build. They then introduced themselves once again, discovering that her parents were taken away from her in an attack by vampires. Bulge and Edron took pity on the vampire girl, Loz, and adopted her, then set off on their travels again in the morning, where they reached a small cliffside coastal town, which Ara recognised as his old hometown. They went to the nearby textiles store to look around and a small, pudgy, old, dwarf woman grabbed Ara in a big hug and asked if he came back for his birthday, much to the amazement of the rest of the West Side Boiz, who had no idea. She then asked if they came by to get costumes for his birthday, since Ara for some reason dresses up on their birthday. Edron dressed up as JFK from Clone High. Upon exiting, they decided to go to the local bar to celebrate their ally's birthday, but found that the bartender was busy trying to deal with a drunkard, so they had to help him out, so they dragged the man out, who woke up midway through and challenged them to a dance battle, so Loz stepped forward and the two battled feverishly, but the drunk man couldn't keep up and was literally blasted away by the immensely powerful dancing proficiency of the vampire. He got on his knees and begged to be her dance apprentice, so she took him into the alley behind the bar and sucked out all his blood, while the others started drinking, except for Sigismund who was looking for animals to turn into. After celebrating, they went to Ara's old church to say hello to his old folk, but found it empty, so Bulge and Edron asked Ara to teach them how to pray to Muck Fish, so he went into the backroom to acquire some scriptures, only to find the three nuns who raised him there unconscious, but as they approached them, a booming voice from within the wall bellowed out and greeted the West Side Boiz by name, telling them that it had been watching them for some time. It then asked if they wanted to play a game, so they reluctantly agreed. Shadowy tentacles then came out of the wall and grabbed Davril, subsequently grabbing Borudash as well because of the grape costume and knocking them out, then getting the nuns from the backroom. It explained that if they won some games, they'd be able to win their souls back from his claim, or allow their own souls to be taken instead. The majority of the party were displeased with this turn of events, so they decided to walk out the front door, only to enter a black abyss, showing that the first game had started, they're only task was to survive out there for 15 minutes. The door behind them disappeared and they realised how vast this abyss was, going on endlessly, until they saw something in the distance, so they approached it, only to find a frog having a poo. The frog then ran at them, so they all ran away from it, except for Ara and Sigismund who tried to stand their ground, only to be battered in by the frog. After some more fleeing and posing from Bulge, Edron, and Loz, the 15 minutes were up and they managed to win back Davril and Borudash's souls. The next game involved them going to sleep, which seemed simple enough, until they had to go through a violent nightmare about their greatest fears. Upon waking up, they won back one of the nun's souls and the church began contorting in different ways, ultimately leading to the front entrance ending up 90 feet away. A clown appeared before them, revealing itself as a physical form of the voice from the walls. The clown explained that they all they needed to do was get one of them outside the door, so Edron chucked the Bulging Stick forward, who then continued forward, only to be met with two swinging pendulums coming out of nowhere, luckily he manged to dodge them and get through. Everyone else then moved forward as fast as they could too, except for Sigismund who went up to the clown, who'd just created four copies of itself and used thunderwave, killing them all, only to discover that they would begin reanimating from their corpses. Meanwhile, Edron and Ara got to the pendulums, so Ara healed themself, while their father tried to get through failing miserably, although Loz was able to just fly over the pendulums without any harm. Sigismund tried to use thunderwave on them again, but failed to kill them, so two of them teleported to the Bulging Stick and tried to beat him up, but he managed to dodge, causing them to hit each other. Afterwards, Bulge felt the ground beneath him rumble as a massive wall appeared from the ground in front of him with no away around it, so he just readied a devastating punch and smashed his way through it, where Loz later followed and flew him over to the end, where they got to the door, which wouldn't seem to open, until they discovered a small little podium in front of it with a strange 3x3 grid on it. He ended up tapping the top right corner, where an X suddenly appeared, followed by an O in the bottom left corner, so he tapped the bottom right corner, only for an O to appear in the centre, so he tapped the middle right square, creating a line of Xs, which resulted in the doors swinging open with a flash of light. All the people in the church were now just outside, with those who'd been taken by the strange voice still being unconscious. The clown appeared and tossed a rock with a witch's hat to Edron, who promptly shoved it up his ass. It congratulated them on winning the games, then went over to Ara, telling him that he was supposed to come for his soul today, but decided to leave them for a little longer, before walking away.
===Shadows of Visvara - Chapter 16: Born To Shit, Forced To Wipe===
The party continued their travels and arrived in Dorlomin, the capital city of Visvara, where Brugur Oradall Borudash and Davril decided to go to a nearby café, so that BOB could do business or something else really boring. The rest of them found a young lad selling newspapers, so Edron approached him flexing his muscles, only to find the boy's far superior to his own, causing the Bulging Stick to try push him over, discovering that the boy was also heavy as hell. Fortunately, the boy felt no ill will towards them and merely asked if they wanted to buy a copy of the newspaper; not subscribing to this child's request, Loz attempted to steal a copy, but was instantly caught and punched in the face, allowing Ed to sneakily nab one. Its contents reported: rising tensions between South and North Visvara, with Emperor Munakata and Emperor Walker apparently at each other's throats; the death of Ross Shimada in the Central Perk war; and in more lighter news, BTS coming to Visvara for their BTS FTW concert. After reading the newspaper, the party decided to initiate combat with the boy, discovering that he was monstrously tough for his age, but they were able to overcome his strength and defeat him. Edron Bartholomew began begging the Bulging Stick to let them go to the BTS concert, so he gave in and they headed to the stadium, but found that the tickets had long since sold out, fortunately, Bear Bearington was there and explained that he had five tickets that the West Side Boiz could have for PP 500. Understandably unable to afford such a high price, they asked Bear if there were any other way they could trade, so he took them into an a darker part of Dorlomin, where a dirty river flowed. Beside the river was a set of stalls and they were taken into a soup noodle stall run by a one eyed man. He presented a soup noodle bowl that had an ominous purple hue to it, so Bear leaned into Bulge and told him it was experimental, so he forced Sigismund to eat it, causing him to pass out instantly. The cyclops added some more salt and the purple hue disappeared and the Bulging Stick continued to pour the soup into an unconscious Sigi. The taste was so incredibly vile that it reawakened Sigismund and also left him so severely colour blind that he now saw the world in inverted colours. Bear and the cyclops man thanked the Bulging Stick and rewarded him with five tickets to the BTS FTW concert. The seats were quite close to the front and the West Side Boiz eagerly awaited their favourite K-Pop group to arrive. Suddenly, dancing lights projected by some sorcerers offstage appeared, as a magic banner on stage reading BTS FTW flew up. The crowd began cheering hysterically, then the letters spread out with the acronym spelling Born To Shit, Forced To Wipe, then eight silhouettes rose up from beneath the stage. The crowd were losing their minds with the spectacle, but then the music they heard wasn’t what they expected, as the magic speakers began blasting the Nostalgia Critic theme on repeat, as a booming voice began bellowing, “WE ARE THE NOSTALGIA CRITICS! WE REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED BECAUSE YOU NEVER DID! FOR YEARS VISVARA HAS BEEN OVERRUN WITH MORONIC LEADERS AND IRRESPONSIBLE CITIZENS, BUT OUR LORD, THE WALKER, DOUG WALKER OF NORTH VISVARA IS ON A MISSION OF SALVATION AND UNIFICATION TO MAKE VISVARA BASED AGAIN!” With this announcement, chaotic magically infused explosions blasted around the concert, killing many members of the audience in a horrific display, followed by an army of people dressed as Doug Walker with masks of his face ran in and started beating people up. On the stage, several Nostalgia Critics creeped on and started attacking BTS, but they were fortunately skilled in the art of military combat, so they were able to hold their own. The West Side Boiz decided to make their way towards the stage to hopefully help BTS out, as per Edron's lead, but an explosion began magically forming beneath them and hit them all quite severely, then a group of Nostalgia Critics surrounded them, so they had to fight their way forward. Unfortunately, Edron was knocked out during the battle, so his boyfriend, Bulge, carried him towards the fire exit instead of the stage to save their asses, but they suddenly saw a bunch of debilitating ropes spring out from offstage, paralysing and capturing all of BTS, save for two of them. Frustrated, knowing Edron would've wanted him to save them, the Bulging Stick hid him and took the rest of the West Side Boiz to give chase to the Nostalgia Critics that kidnapped BTS.
===Shadows of Visvara - Episode of Madness 7: Stewart Azazel===
The Bulging Stick told Edron when he woke up that he saved BTS and got him a signed t-shirt.
===Shadows of Visvara - Chapter 17: Shadows of Dorlomin===
As they all exited the Dorlomin Arena, Jungkook handed the West Side Boiz a tourist map of Dorlomin, as a small personal token of gratitude before leaving with the rest of BTS. With this map, the West Side Boiz went to town to explore. Loz went to a local fish and chips shop, where she reluctantly bought some battered sausage (since she really just wanted to steal it), while Ara went into the local branch of Karoken just to look at their concrete walls. Edron and the Bulging Stick went to the local Pizza, but on Lazy Susans for a meal. They enjoyed a large meat feast pizza together, but when it came to paying the bill, they tried to fake a complaint by placing a severed groper's hand in the pizza, but they made the mistake of placing the severed hand in front of the head chef when he came over, infuriating him, causing them to brawl against one another. The fight was fierce, but the couple made it out on top and left. The party reconvened at the 'Funk Workshop', where they met an intimidating looking woman with an afro and a welding mask on. She offered weapon upgrades, but the prices were too expensive for them to keep up with, so they spent a long while haggling with her. Eventually they did get some upgrades, but Ara attempted to get an apprenticeship with the lady, so that he may be able to learn some skills, but after failing her test, he got a stick jammed into his left eye, leaving it permanently blinded. Edron took him to the outdoor shopping hall to get an eyepatch, where they were serviced by a guy with both of his eyes taken out. To get a discount, Ara healed one of his eyes, so he got an eyepatch for free. Meanwhile, the Bulging Stick and Loz went to a local flower shop, where they met a cute old lady who was running the shop to help fund her grandson's college funds. Sympathising with her troubles, the Bulging Stick gave her a hundred gold pieces, while Loz asked for her facebook address, so that they could keep in touch. Everyone reconvened in the centre of the shopping hall, where Bulge gave Edron some flowers after giving a heart felt speech. The West Side Boiz then went to Jetninfo's Park, where they saw that the circus was in town, but as they approached, they were hollered over by someone behind a tree. They cautiously approached and discovered a small statured man in a long black trench coat, with his features being covered up by a hat, sunglasses, and a facemask. The man informed them that the circus' monkey were actually normal people who had been monkified against their will, so they needed rescuing, but he didn't anticipate the amount of buff clowns there, so he needed assistance. To prove that he knew they were actually monkification victims, he took off his mask and lit a cigarette, revealing that he was Clappers the monkey, a monkified being who worked for Monkey Mechanics in Adron. The party agreed to help, so, while Clappers sneaked past the guards to free the monkeys, Loz began jumping on the circus apparatus with remarkable athletic ability and Ara created an fake image of a fire being ignited in the middle of the circus stage, so all the buff clowns started throwing buckets of water at it. Clappers was getting increasingly frustrated with the lock so he got out his make-shift flame thrower and melted the lock off, but it roared violently as the flame was ignited, so Bulge and Edron imitated a Shakespearian lovers quarrel to distract the ring leader from going over to investigate, successfully distracting him and emotionally destroying him. Clappers fled with the other monkeys and sneakily tapped Edron's side, before getting into his carriage. He gave him a thumbs up and rode away with some happy monkeys, where upon Edron realised that Clappers had sneakily placed a large sum of money in his pockets. Afterwards, they walked through Dilontoo street. where they were suddenly pincered on both ends by a group of thugs who "aren't the sympathetic kinds of bad guys." The West Side Boiz cut their way through a fair number of the thugs with some cool flashy moves, but it didn't seem to be enough, until a mysterious shadowy ninja appeared and defeated the remaining thugs with sharpened candy canes and exploding Christmas gifts. He introduced himself as the Christmas Ninja and gave everyone a teddy bear version of themselves (except for Ara who got a dog plush of Brugur Oradall Borudash). He then realised that the Bulging Stick was the 2nd chairman of the Shimada Clan and gravely apologised for misusing his ninja training, to which Bulge promptly excused him for. The Christmas Ninja then explained that there'd been a fire at the Shimada Clan headquarters that killed one of the family patriarchs, causing the other patriarchs to get made at the Bulging Stick, since he wasn't there to do anything, because he was ignoring his responsibilities. Bulge, shocked to hear what had apparently transpired, promoted the Christmas Ninja to his second-in-command and told him to go back to the headquarters and tell them to sort themselves out.
===Shadows of Visvara - Chapter 18: Edron's Journey===
The West Side Boiz continued their exploration of Visvara and ended up going past the Dorlomin Stage Theatre, where they saw a distressed looking man who is thinking out loud saying "oh gee! What am I going to do? The four contestants who were going to be on the hit quiz show, the Chase, all died in a horrible accident on their way here. How am I ever going to find another four willing contestants to play?" With confidence, the Bulging Stick went up to the man and introduced himself and his allies as suitable replacements, so the man eagerly rushed them in. As soon as they got in, the show began and Ara was made to go first. The host of the show Bradley Walsh explained the rules of the game to him, saying that they'd answer as many rapid-fire questions in a minute to rack up some money, then go head-to-head with the chaser, whoever that may be. Ara managed to score an impressive four points (totaling to GP 40). The chaser was then revealed to be Davril, who'd apparently been hastily hired as a chaser, since Mark Labbett couldn't make it because of traffic. Davril managed to beat his companion, due to his inability to recognise meat cuts, and music related subjects. Next up was the Bulging Stick who also managed to get four points (GP 40), but arguably because he was only asked "primary school questions" like "spell ICUP". The Bulging Stick lucked out again and managed to beat the chaser due to guessing the names of birds, fictional characters, and Visvaran businesses. Thirdly, Edron Bartholomew II, who managed to get three points (totaling to GP 30) in the cash builder round. Edron also managed to beat the chaser, due to his knowledge of rock, paper, scissors mechanics, and apparently English language. Finally, Loz took to the stand, where she found out that Bradley Walsh was an immortal vampire too, but more importantly she managed to acquire an impressive five points (GP 50) in the cash builder round. Loz managed to succeed against the chaser as well, due to her knowledge of driving, chocolate confectionaries, and martial arts. However, the game was not over, as the three of them had to beat the chaser in one final bout against the clock. Their objective was to get as many questions correct in two minutes to create a certain amount of steps, in addition to the three step head-start they got from getting three people to beat the chaser. Ultimately they managed to score six points in total, meaning Davril had nine questions to get correctly in two minutes, however if he passed or got one wrong, the contestants had the opportunity to push him back a space, however despite this handicap, the chaser managed to beat them with only three seconds left to spare, earning himself a rock with a sports headband and preventing the West Side Boiz from earning GP 120. After they all left the theatre, Edron challenged Davril to a fight, because of all the pent up rage in his body reached a tumultuous crescendo directed entirely at Dav. Edron charged at him with all his might, but he quickly cast sleep on him, then asked a nearby security guard if he wanted to be a contestant on the show, to which he agreed, so he said all he had to do was take Ed's sleeping body and just walk for forty days. The next morning, Edron woke up in the arms of this security guard, nuzzled into his sweet pecs, where he was gently placed down by a tree. The security guard then took a large stick and swung down at him with intense force, but the king managed to narrowly dodge it and swing with his blade. The security guard dodged the sword then took off his shirt and wrapped it around his hand, then punched Edron so hard he landed all the way from mainland Visvara to the island of Cummid, where he landed in a crater, next to a strange armoured figure's campfire. The armoured figure ended up being Reiss and he explained that he'd been on the island trying to figure out why he'd been resurrected an airbending skull, because he'd been having strange visions when he ascended the island's bizarre towers. Edron ended up helping Reiss out with the final tower in his quest, but he sucked at dancing, so he was quickly thrown off the tower for rage quitting and resorting to violence. He only survived the drop because stabbed the tower with his sword, slowing his descent. Reiss managed to complete the trial by himself and revealed that he'd just figured out that he was resurrected, because the old one Bingus Dingus Tingus, who was originally possessing Aang Butagoose, decided to switch hosts from a goose to a rotting corpse. Reiss then took notice of Edron's sword and realised that it was the fabled Bartholomew Blade, so he requested to see it's magic properties, but was disappointed to find that Edron couldn't remember how to activate it, so Reiss agreed to take him over to Vibe Island to search for answers. When they got their, they saw Bulge Anus on the beach who greeted them both excitedly. Edron then informed Bulge that he wanted a warrant for Davril's head to be sent out across Vibe Island, which he hastily sent to the house of commons, which was based entirely in Edron's castle. He headed there himself with his skeletal companion and entered the house of commons, where the prime minister, Bojo, informed him of how the Bartholomew Blade worked. You summoned its magical potential by raising it to the sky and shouting "Bring forth the power of the Bartholomew Blade!", which he instantly did, instantly causing white lightning to shoot down into the room, much to Bojo's dismay, saying that he'd needed to have put please on the end of it to direct the lightning peacefully. Edron thanked Bojo then confirmed that his warrant for Davril's head came through alright, to which Bojo responded by saying, "oh yes, I absolutely hate the bloke! I used to be a fan of the Plain White T's, but I've long since torn down my poster and printed a picture of Davril's head and stuck it onto my dart board in my room." Edron requested to see his room which was in number 10 downing street. His bedroom door had a frowning skull ornament on it with "no girls allowed" under it. Inside was a bunch of posters for edgy bands, a bunch of trash on the floor, and a desk opposite his bed with all of his "school work" on it. Directly opposite the door was the dart board that Edron expertly threw two darts onto, directly in Davril's eyes. Edron and Reiss then left the castle, where Reiss explained that he'd like to eat something, but also expressed his issue with the fact that he can't taste anything, because he's a skull, so Edron ripped out the tongue of a nearby villager and gave it to him, but they needed someone to attach it. Luckily, Somather Geezer was closeby and he used his knitting and resistant materials qualifications to attach the tongue to Reiss, who he described, quite dead-panly, as "the most terrifying thing he's ever seen in his life." They all then entered Bulge Anus' bakery, where he cooked up the most delicious and filling meal ever to be made for both Reiss and Edron. Bulge Anus also explained that Ringus Fitgus' funeral was about to take place, so they all set off for it, where Edron tried to give a speech for his fallen friend, but couldn't say anything through his tears. Suddenly, a bunch of bandits appeared from the bushes and started to attack the attendees of the funeral. Fortunately, Bulge Anus was there to throw some people into the nearby cemetary pizza oven (pizza is traditional funeral food on Vibe Island), Somather Geezer was also prepared to lock swords with the villains, in addition to Reiss who used his air bending to kill some of them. In the nearby pond though, Dominic Belenus III appeared out of the water with his shirt off and bellowed Edron's name, before summoning the power of the Belenus blade. Edron responded with a furious frown and summoned his blades power then assumed a fighting stance while bellowing Belenus' name back. Edron through of the top of his armour for a fair fight then locked steels with his opponent in a tumultuous duel. With much difficulty, Edron came out on top and defeated his nemesis, only for him to be rescued by one of his followers, who dragged him into the pond and teleported them away. The day was won and the funeral service was completed without any further interruptions. Edron then requested that Reiss take him back to Dorlomin to meet back up with the others and they made it to the local West Side Café there the next morning with Ed still covered in his enemy's blood.
===Shadows of Visvara - Chapter 19: Invasion of Orcs===
With all of the West Side Boiz finally reconvened at the local West Side Café (with Reiss), they found themselves managing to catch a break for once. They began reading the local newspaper only to discover that the Bulging Stick and Edron Bartholomew II were now wanted criminals for killing the people in the local Pizza, but on Lazy Susans. Before they could reasonably react to this discovery, a group of orcs and Don Cheadle entered the establishment. One of them pointed at Brugur Oradall Borudash and introduced himself as Urmok-Bill, leader of the Orctribe orc tribe. He explained that he was trying to track down Jedah Varkgorim, the leader of the United Clan of Orcs, so he wanted to know the secret that BOB supposedly knew, although it quickly became apparent that he didn't actually know anything and the United Clan of Orcs were trying to kill him for nothing. Regardless, Urmok-Bill decided to use this to his advantage and asked if they could work together to stop Jedah, since the outcome would be mutually beneficial. Orctribe spies had reported that there was evidence to support that the United Clan of Orcs were going to invade Dorlomin that very afternoon, so they wanted to ambush Jedah by having Borudash stand on his own in the park to lure him in, while the Orctribe, Don Cheadle, the West Side Boiz, and Reiss waited in the bushes and trees nearby to strike. Borudash agreed and they followed the plan meticulously, as, true to the predictions of the Orctribe spies, Jedah Varkgorim and the UCO arrived that very morning and saw BOB on his own and approached. As soon as they surrounded him and were preparing to attack, everyone burst out the trees and bushes and started an all-out brawl. The rest of the West Side Boiz ran up to help their ally, since he was now facing one-to-one with Jedah himself, except for Edron, who got stuck in the tree he was in and couldn't get down. Later, he was eventually pulled out, so that the West Side Boiz could make a great escape from the police in Sigismund's moving shed.
===Shadows of Visvara - Chapter 20: Captured Boiz===
On the run, the West Side Boiz make it to Barnsley, where they seek refuge for a while. They decide to go to the local cinema, where they watched Sonic the Hedgehog Movie 1, 2, and 3, until evening fell. After taking in that fantastic movie, they decided to go to Subway, where they all ordered sandwiches, although Loz, Ara, and Sigismund didn't want to spend the necessary funds, so Brugur Oradall Borudash generously offered to pay for them, although Ara gave him his money back and Sigismund just kept it and didn't buy anything causing an argument between them. The Bulging Stick was getting flustered by interacting with the woman working at Subway, much to Edron's distaste. Discreetly, the Bulging Stick tried to write a love note to the Subway Girl, but Edron found it and started berating his husband. Meanwhile, the argument between Sigi and BOB was heating up and he decided to shoot at the Subway Girl to show that he "wasn't fucking around". It narrowly missed her and hit the guy behind her who was apparently the current owner of Subway, who, with his dying breath, gave Subway Girl the position of CEO for Subway. She banned BOB and Loz from all Subways, because they tried to buy shares in the company. The Bulging Stick also left, because he didn't want to get banned from Subway and was presumably trying to escape from his angry husband. The three of them went to a vape store, where BOB saw Jeremy, who'd apparently taken up smoking because of the stress he got from having to run the company while Borudash was gone. He then begged him to come back to the company with tears in his eyes and snot in his nose. Borudash reflected on the request and realised that technically he wasn't on the run anymore, since they managed to kill Jedah Varkgorim and get the United Clan of Orcs off of his back, so he shared a tender final moment with his good friend the Bulging Stick, then picked up Jeremy and walked out of the vape store with tears in his eyes. Depressed that his best friend had now left the West Side Boiz, Leonardo Turtleneck decided to take up smoking and buy an e-cig. He asked for an orange one with a penis embroidered into it, but was astonished that the asking price was GP 200, but he managed to lower it down to just GP 2. He and Loz then left the store in the rain, where Bulge started smoking in the rain with tears in his eyes and emotions flowing. Suddenly, a knight approached the two of them and asked if they were the West Side Boiz. Bulge blew a puff of smoke in his face in defiance and asked who was asking, to which they awkwardly replied, "uh, definitely not a policeman." Causing the pair of them to take a fighting stance, ultimately resulting in a group of knights who were hiding in bushes to appear. Loz tried to turn into a bat and fly away, but realised that she couldn't for some reason. Edron then showed up, eating a Subway, where he too was surrounded, but just as they were about to close in, Bulge front flipped over them and ran away, leaving his allies behind. Meanwhile, Sigi and Ara decided to return to Sigi's Moving Shed, where they found them arresting Davril, who was asleep in there the whole time. Two guards then spotted Sigi and Ara, where they were promptly arrested, since they released a gas that prevented the use of magic. Still being pursued by guards, the Bulging Stick tried to warn Borudash of what was going on, so he went to Ewon Ltd. Headquarters, where he saw BOB being arrested, because Jeremy had sold him out, so he continued to run away, finding a discreet alleyway with a homeless guy in it. They quickly grew to understand one another and he decided to hide him in his box, but then a corrupt guard went into the alley and started beating up the homeless man, ultimately killing him, but the Bulging Stick didn't get out to help. Midnight fell and the West Side Boiz were all placed in a cell, where they discussed killing themselves in defiance and how much of a dick Bulge was being. Suddenly a guard came up to them and discussed making a deal with them, wherein their previous and future crimes will be erased, in exchange for their cooperation in assassinating Doug Walker. They agreed and were forced to put on death bracelets very similar to the ones Vos put on the West Side Boiz a while ago, while they were sent on a test assignment to track down the Bulging Stick and arrest him. Ara found him in the ginnel, so Edron went around the back to pincer him between them. A massive argument ensued with Bulge trying to convince everyone to let him go, with even Loz defending, but after Sigismund used moonbeam on them, he was arrested by the guard who set them the assignment.
===Shadows of Visvara - Chapter 21: A Force to be Wrecked With===
The Barnsley police officer introduced himself as Bjorn Yeye, who was assigned to assist and keep an eye on the West Side Boiz on their mission to assassinate Doug Walker. Yeye then received a telepathic message from his station, informing him that he needed to get the West Side Boiz over to the floodgates, which would take several days, so they set off then and there. After a full day's worth of travel they ended up in a dwarf village, where they tried to get a place to stay for the night, but all the stores were wrecked up and full of people who hated Sigismund and warned the party against trying to deal with the local bandit problem. With little option they entered a love hotel for the night, but Edron was eventually woken up from a bunch of commotion outside, seeing the Bulging Stick, Bjorn, Sigi, and Ara all going up to a cliffside from afar, so he decided to get up and follow them himself. When he caught up, he saw the rest of the party enter a fat bandit's room, so he jumped down and crashed in, but landed on a trash pile, getting impaled by a giant Pez dispenser. Luckily, a remote rolled over to the fat bandit, who managed to turn it away from Big Mouth and onto Seinfeld, which made him laugh so hard he sweated all his fat away, revealing a nice 6-pack underneath. Ara reassessed everything he knew about medicine. Altogether, the five of them descended lower into the hideout, where they saw a trapped dwarven priest, who pleaded for them to help him out, but just as they were about to, two very evil insane guys jumped out and attacked them, excessively drilling in the fact that they were evil and insane. Edron swung his sword at one of them, but missed and hit Bulge instead, but Sigismund decided to just maul one to death as a bear, causing the other to flee into the river below, vowing revenge. They all pressed onwards, where they entered a room with a giant beast of a man inside. It was the head bandit, Hopper, who was evil and weird, but not insane. They all engaged in combat with the West Side Boiz proving themselves victorious, as Edron landed the final blow with his Bartholomew Blade that smashed him out of the room into the river below, but they never heard a splash into it, because Hopper had transmogrified into a strange chimera that flew away, vowing to destroy Sigismund's dwarf village. The rest of the bandits ran away from the hideout, so the West Side Boiz looked around to loot it, but there honestly wasn't much. They all returned to the village, where they had an afternoon lunch together with the others who had woken up by now. Bjorn joined the Band-its' band session, while the Bulging Stick and Edron started feeding Ara his turkey dinosaurs (he wouldn't eat them in any other shape), which they got from an order from Uber Eats, which only offered a food delivery service, so Edron suggested they get into the travel market.
===Shadows of Visvara - Chapter 22: Magic Kart===
As the West Side Boiz continued their journey to the floodgates, they came across the town of Moteng. Davril went to the nearby well, where he was pushed in by Edron, causing him to break his legs, while in there, Davril began pooping himself. The well was then closed off by Edron and Sigismund with a circular piece of wood they got at the wood store. Without Davril, the West Side Boiz all went to the bar, where they got drinks from a bizarre bartender, who didn't like blue people. Everything was fine until a brooding man approached them and called them all "inferiors". Understandably annoyed, Edron told him to fuck off and tried to punch him, but the man dodged and countered with a punch of his own, knocking a bunch of his teeth out. He then pointed to a poster and challenged them all to a competition at the Moteng Magic Kart Cup. The majority of the group agreed and so the brooding man, Count Factula, fled to the arena, after punching Edron again. They all rushed to the arena to sign up, where they met with the other racers, who just ended up being Count Factula and the bartender lady, Sorka Mardik. The only exceptions were Ara, who was too scared, so he just spectated, and Loz, who decided to independently investigate something. Eventually everybody was in the lobby (the missing people being Miguel Medel, who brought Davril) and finally Nicholas Orino, the three-time champion of the cup, entered and greeted them all, while announcing that they had to decide starting positions. As they all entered, the West Side Boiz found their new personalised karts and the race began. Count Factula and Nicholas Orino took the lead to begin with, but Count Factula was eliminated due to damage he sustained from the Grey Render hazard and Orino's attacks. Later Sorka Mardik was eliminated by the Grey Render, then in the second lap, Davril was eliminated due to suffering attacks from both the Bulging Stick and Edron Bartholomew II, which were piled on top of damage he sustained from Brugur Oradall Borudash, who was still an entire lap behind and was resorting to just firing attacks at everyone, which ultimately caused Nicholas Orino to get eliminated next. Later Bjorn and Edron were neck-in-neck, racing towards the finish, while Miguel Medel and Brugur Oradall Borudash were fighting each other. Eventually, Bjorn managed to get first place, with Edron in second, and Bulge close in second. BOB, while still a lap behind managed to eliminated Miguel Medel, earning himself fifth place, since Sigismund was still technically in the position in front.
===Shadows of Visvara - Chapter 23: The Eastern Floodgate===
Three days later, the West Side Boiz make it to the Eastern floodgate and see there towering structure above them, protecting the entirety of South Visvara from a devastating calamity. Wasting no time, Loz carries Bjorn Yeye into a window to unlock the door on the ground level, where he comes face-to-face with three gorillas. They look at him and start aggressively dancing, so Bjorn sets one on fire, enraging the others, but he was able to dodge their attack. Edron was brought up next and he sliced another gorilla in half and Bjorn killed the final one after it attempted to hit them both. With the enemies defeated the two of them went downstairs and saw two guards playing twister and they wouldn't let them past without defeating them in a game first. Edron went first and failed miserably, so Bjorn followed up and placed his left hand on green so firmly that the guards had heart attacks and died, allowing them to take the keys and move forward, but as they got to the door to the others, they realised it wasn't locked at all, but everyone tried to ignore that fact, so that they didn't just do all that for nothing. With another room on the other side, the party decided to split up: Ara and Sigismund waited outside on lookout, while Davril, Edron, and BOB went to the room on the left, where Dav and Ed played a game of twister then made their way up a floor, where both Dav and Ed put newly found gorilla suits on. They proceeded to the next level, where they were blinded by an intense light and some guy saying "oh man, I put way too many mirrors in this room, so Brugur Oradall Borudash used his final bullet to break all the mirrors and shoot the guy in the leg at the same time. BOB then went up to the man and started spouting something about a revolution, then threw all of his money, alongside Ed and Dav's into the ocean. He then killed the man after he ordered him to kill Davril, but got slept. Borudash also tried to kill Davril, but was similarly slept. Edron and Davril tried to throw him into the ocean too, but he was too heavy, so they just removed his clothes and left him there. As they got to the top, they were then face-to-face with Doug Walker's brother, Robert Walker, who was in charge of the floodgate's opening. Seeing that he looked very powerful in his gigantic armour, Davril asked Edron to throw him downstairs to wake up BOB. Everything went according to plan, but instead of helping them, Borudash grabbed Davril and jumped into the river the floodgates were keeping at bay, causing them both to get swept away somewhere. Having just abandoned the mission BOB's bracelet injected a magic potion into his veins that was sure to kill him in seven days, if he didn't return with Davril. Meanwhile, The Bulging Stick engaged in combat with Walker and killed him in one critical slice, terrifying the other soldiers.
===Shadows of Visvara - Chapter 24: Sins of the Father===
The West Side Boiz stayed at the Eastern Floodgate for the night, where Bjorn got his final telepathic message from the Barnsley Police Department. They instructed him to take a detour to a village called Uadelheim, which was high up North, but there was a cut in the coast, that would allow them to take a boat there as a short cut. They decided to head to the coastal town of Morel to get a boat in the morning, but on their way there, they were stopped by a group of Mean Beans, who started a fight with the party. The Bulging Stick managed to kill two of the mean beans, so the rest of them huddled in a circle and summoned their boss, Beanuji Goda, who dominated with his immense power, easily grappling and throwing around Edron, out-striking Bjorn, and dodging the Bulging Stick's attacks. Eventually he stopped his onslaught and with a bellowing laugh, exclaiming that he liked their "stuff" and said that he'd be willing to help them, if they get stronger. He left and they continued onwards to Morel, where they saw Bear Bearington. They were happy to see each other, but Bearington was confused as to the absence of his friend, Mr. Borudash, so Edron explained what happened and how he was presumed dead, since his death bracelet reportedly went off. Bartholomew thought it best to give Bear BOB's old belongings, so he pulled out his old suit and handed it over, causing Bear to silently mask his grief. Meanwhile, Bjorn and the Bulging Stick started talking to a man with white hair, who had a boat and was offering them a ride for free, if they got rid of the ghost problem he believes he has. They agreed, then left to prepare, where they bumped into a man in a white kimono carrying a wheelbarrow. Upon closer inspection, Davril was in the wheelbarrow and so they were all reunited once again. The nomad samurai introduced himself as Jackurai Sam and explained that he helped Davril, while on his quest to find an old lady to enchant his sword. Sensing a great power, the Bulging Stick requested a duel, so they clashed swords with even power, causing the blades to fling out, so they both pulled out their nunchakus, where Jackurai bopped Bulge on the head. Jackurai commended Bulge's abilities and noticed that he had the Shimada Blade, then requested to see the Shimada Dragon, but discovered that he didn't actually know how to summon it, so Jackurai relayed the tale of how to summon it to him (squatting three times and shouting "Ryūjin no ken wo kurae!"). Later, they all boarded the ship and the captain gave them a quick tour, before heading into his quarters, because he's scared of ghosts. The party searched the ship all day and found nothing, so they all went to bed, then suddenly heard a honking noise. They quickly opened their bedroom doors and so a familiar clown, ready to play another game. Bjorn, having never met this clown that had previously tormented them, offered a handshake, but pulled his hand away at the last moment and put his thumb on his nose and wiggled his fingers. Furious, the clown randomly selected a bunch of the West Side Boiz and let the game began, while phasing through the roof. The ship had changed from its original wooden architecture to one resembling a carnival, although there were now four statues at the doors upstairs to the top deck from the sleeping quarters, so the remaining members of the West Side Boiz (Davril, Bjorn, Bulge, and Edron) investigated. They saw an inscription on the door saying the clown statues wouldn't let them pass without being fully equipped, so they headed downstairs too look for them, where they saw a flower, an ice cream, a sword, and a plunger on the floor. Edron was about to pick it up, but from the shadows appeared a four-armed beast that picked them up and prepared to fight, but was persuaded into just handing them over, since all they needed to do was borrow them to open a door. They returned to the door and tried to solve the riddle of which item went with which clown. After a lot of trial and error, they eventually got it and headed upstairs, where they saw Ara attached to a guillotine behind the clown and the white haired anime protagonist captain, who looked at them fiercely, revealing that he was actually the white haried anime villain captain. They explained that Ara was the white haired man's son and he was promised great power in exchange for his adult son's soul, which is why he was abandoned at the Bordam church. The Bulging Stick asked why they needed to be killed if they only wanted Ara, which made them contemplate why they set this whole elaborate trap us in the first place. Coming to the conclusion that it was kind of stupid, Ara's dad, Vergil, was about to just leave them be, but the clown interrupted with how Bjorn humiliated him earlier, so he summoned a boxing ring and they started fighting. Bjorn threw some punches which landed cleanly on the clown, but he responded with a kick to the balls, then proceeded to fart on him. Bjorn, angered, backflipped up with such power that the ring rumbled and caused the clown to fall over. Embarrassed, he stood up and made an excuse to leave, before clicking his fingers and disappearing, while the blade on the guillotine hurdled down and chopped Ara's head off. Vergil laughed with might, assuming his power would now come, but Ara was somehow still alive, showcasing that he was apparently immortal, so he grabbed his head and jumped off into the water to leave the West Side Boiz. Disappointed that he didn't get his power, Vergil joined the West Side Boiz and sailed them all the way to Uadelheim himself. Two days later, they arrived in the morning, where Jackurai Sam and Vergil stayed behind to deal with the boat, while the rest of them looked for the spy. The Bulging Stick however had previously sent a pigeon with a log on it asking the Shimada Clan what their current situation was and if they could spare him some money (presumably also informing them that he was going to arrive in Uadelheim some time soon), so he went to the post office to ask for his mail. He had received a letter from Hetsu Nakamura, who explained that Dinge Dirt was leading an uprising within the Shimada Clan, causing an internal war and that funds were pretty tight because no one actually know what the Bulging Stick is doing, because he left without a warning. Bulge sent a letter back telling the Christmas Ninja to "sort them out" and to make some merchandise for better funding. Meanwhile, Bjorn went to the fountain to meet up with the spy, but no one was there. Suddenly a frog jumped up from the fountain next to Bjorn, so he punched it, but it was actually Rana, the spy, who was the same frog Davril, BOB, and Bulge fought in the Deen's cave.
===Shadows of Visvara - Chapter 25: Mysteries of Uadelheim===
Rana explained that the Nostalgia Critics terrorist group were having underhanded arms dealings with the Cat Mafia, so they had attempted to infiltrate their underground factory that was disguised as a nightclub. They were celebrating, the Cat Mafia's chairman, Meow Meow's 34th birthday at the nightclub, so the entire group was there. The Bulging Stick, Edron Bartholomew II, Bjorn, and Rana all snuck in by drawing a cat nose and whiskers on their faces, then walking in. After getting free drinks from the bouncer, who was immensely apologetic for mistaking them for non-felines, they asked the bartender where the factory was, although only limited personnel were allowed down. They made their way through the crowd of dancers, only to come face-to-face with a large bodyguard cat, who wouldn't let them pass. Bjorn puffed his chest and intimidated his way in with the others and they found that the factory was full of blind children. Bjorn and the Bulging Stick went up a mezzanine and through the first door, where they found a cat praying in a meditation room. Understandably annoyed he told them that Meow Meow was in the room next door, where they saw him resting on a shelf. He came out when they arrived and pulled out two cat beds from the top of the shelf, where they sat and discussed negotiations. The Bulging Stick offered to buy some of his weapons on behalf of the Shimada Clan in exchange for a mutual allegiance, but the cat stood up properly, exposing his uncanny 3-metre tall height and bellowed, "no, the Shimada Clan will be mine, completely!" He pulled out two guns and started blasting them at Bulge and Bjorn. The Bulging Stick got shot in the leg, so Bjorn jumped off the mezzanine with him on his back and got Edron to heal him. Suddenly a group of Cat Mafiosa and Nostlagia Critics surrounded them, so they split into two groups: Bulge and Bjorn would fend off the incoming enemies, while Rana and Edron would rescue the kids, before they blew up the factory. Bjorn tackled two of the Nostalgia Critics, but the Bulging Stick summoned the Shimada Dragon and it ate all of the enemies whole. Stunned, the two looked in awe of what happened, but it was short lived as Meow Meow jumped down from upstairs and the leader of the Nostalgia Critics appeared from the darkness. The Nostalgia Critic took his mask off and revealed his identity to Bjorn. It was his childhood best friend/neighbour, Fooble Dooble Nooble, who knowingly murdered Bjorn's dog and girlfriend, during the Barnsley bombings. Furious, they all engaged in combat. Meanwhile, Rana and Edron Bartholomew II were trying to rescue the children and they managed to get them to the fire exit of the factory, but they were stopped by a guard, so Rana forced them to laugh uncontrollably, which subsequently made him piss himself, while remembering a traumatic childhood experience, where the other kids at school would bully and beat him up for peeing his pants during class. The blind sweatshop kids made their way out, but not without stomping on the neck of the guard with piss covered trousers, much to Rana's horror. Rana told the kids to wait outside, but the last boy thanked him graciously. Taking a shine to him, Rana elected to instantly adopted the child and he named him Russell Howard. He then sat on the boy's head and pulled on his hair to control him, like in Ratatouille, walking him over to Bjorn and the Bulging Stick, who were still in the heat of combat. Bulge had tackled Meow Meow down, forcing blood out of his mouth, but Meow Meow managed to reverse the grapple, putting him on top, but as he slammed down, Bulge redirected the attack and slammed it into his own face instead. Stunned by his combat mastery, Meow Meow, backed off to recuperate, but Fooble Dooble Nooble unseathed his sword and started spinning it around like a helicopter, where he picked up his arms dealing partner and flew away, swearing to kill Bjorn, because he's "a little bitch." Edron came out the boiler room shouting for everyone to run out, since he'd been hammering away at it, so that it would explode. They all made it out successfully and the nightclub, alongside the weapons factory was destroyed.
===Shadows of Visvara - Chapter 27: Castle Siege===
The Bulging Stick, Rana, Davril, and Bjorn had crossed paths with Brugur Oradall Borudash, who turned out to be alive, so they held a funeral for him, since they were forced to kill their old ally. Regardless, they had to press on and one day later, the West Side Boiz made it to Friga, the city that houses Castle Dragne. As they entered, a man in a hood approached them and handed them a letter from the Adron Knights, as he left, he looked back and coyly revealed his identity to be Don Cheadle. The West Side Boiz opened it and read it, learning that the Adron Knights had been waiting for them and that the plan is to storm the castle at 7 that very night, so they need to prepare themselves for the most tasking night of their adventure. Bjorn wanted to reward the West Side Boiz for making it here, so they went to the local chippy and got some food (Rana got a tupperware box of flies). They enjoyed their food and Davril convinced him to join their cause, so they got their meal for free and someone to help storm the castle. Seeing that more people were likely needed, Davril started playing music, but his rendition of "Hey There Delilah" was not as good as it had previously been (likely from being rusty and out of practice). Fortunately, Bjorn Yeye pulled out his keytar and back him up, alongside Rana with his flute. A crowd was gathered around them and they were all jamming out to their sick tunes, so Davril took the opportunity to reach out for their aid, by giving a speech, so Bjorn and the Bulging Stick tried to pick him to seem important, but their coordination was shocking and they all fell over, so Rana tried picking him up, and while successful, only gave Davril a couple centimetres worth of height. Nevertheless, he managed to entice them to join their cause, so at 7 o'clock, they all marched to Castle Dragne with the Adron Knights. After a cool minute of silence, they all charged forward bellowing their war cry, "Jenny!!", while the soldiers of Castle Dragne came forth. As the carnage ensued, The Bulging Stick, Davril, Edron, Bjorn, and Rana sneaked their way into the Castle through a window, as they were instructed to do by Don Cheadle, where they found themselves in a corridor with nothing but a door at the end and a lewd portrait of Doug Walker. They decided to burn it, but it quickly collapsed and the fire started spreading, so they rushed through, where they were met with three guards. The Bulging Stick quickly cut one down, while Rana convinced them to leave by listening to their backstories and telling one of them that his son wouldn't be happy with him and that the Joker film is pretty good. They all then decided to split up, because there were three new doors to enter, so Edron and Bjorn went for the door directly in front of them and found themselves in a storage room with a chest in it. Bjorn opened it and a talking rat called Flim Flam jumped out and greeted him. Surprised, Bjorn attempted to stand on it, but his foot was grabbed by the rat and he was smashed into the wall. The rat proceeded to box at Edron, who narrowly dodged the attacks. He then procured a makeshift-rocket launcher that was rat sized and blast it at them both, hitting Edron brutally and blasting him into the room with flies in it, causing them to enter the storage room. Bjorn tried attacking the rat afterwards, but it crawled up his trouser leg and bit him a bunch of times. The rat eventually left his trousers and told him to be nicer to guests, before leaving the room, but Bjorn still wanted revenge and tried to used his Chin Na techniques, but ended up making his own arm numb by accident. From the darkness however, Edron appeared behind the rat and sliced him in two with his axe, surprising Rana, who'd just walked in from the burning crossbow room. The party reconvened at the stairs Davril and Bulge discovered and ascended together, finding another room with four doors, so everyone went to a different one, except Davril, who was reserved to assist anyone in need. Edron opened the door behind the stairs, finding a room full of barrels, so he started smashing them all and ended up throwing one out the window, while a huge muscular soldier came out of the castle raring to kill the Adron Knights, but the barrel fell on his head and killed him instantly. He continued forward and saw three soldiers watching another one sing "Life is a Highway", but they weren't interested in him, so he just walked past them to the next room, where he crossed paths with Bjorn and Rana at the same time. The room was essentially just the entrance to a bridge, so Edron decided to cross it, but Bjorn mentioned that Rana was looking a bit rough and asked if he was alright, so he unloaded the trauma he was having and started talking about his no killing policy, which irked something in Bjorn, who started questioning why he bothers having one, when their current mission is to assassinate a political tyrant. Rana started talking about how his enemies have families he doesn't want to hurt, but Bjorn thought that, since everyone has a family, someone's death is ensured to make someone unhappy, since it's not a pretty thing, but was ultimately necessary to enact justice, spurring an intense argument between the two, with Bjorn ripping up the photo in the pendant Rana was now wearing, causing him to summon 6 lesser demons, who started burning everything in the room. Unfortunately, Edron, who was on the bridge, was now falling down, because the bridge was on fire, so Rana and Bjorn had to work together to save him by forming a human chain. They pulled him up, with Edron slapping them both for being idiots, before leaving the room. The party reconvened at the locked door, where Rana and Bjorn continued arguing. As they unlocked the door, they found stairs going up, so they ascended and went through a corridor to the roof, where they were met with a familiar figure, Chairman Meow Meow, who started his villain speech, but Rana and Bjorn's argument ruined it, so he initiated combat. Bjorn ran up to Meow Meow and punched him twice with burning hands, mortally damaging him, while pointing out that Rana couldn't do that, so he tried to cast fast friends, which didn't work, causing Bjorn to laugh at him more. Meow Meow responded by shooting at them both with his crossbows, which they narrowly dodged, while the Bulging Stick struck at him with his dragon blade, causing him to spew up some hefty amounts of blood. Edron then tried to follow up with his sword, but he slammed it into the ground and caused it to break, forcing Rana and Bjorn down two floors, where the fire they'd started earlier was rapidly spreading, but that didn't stop them from arguing about how to get back up. Suddenly they heard cries for help and a "I'm Wolverine, bub! *snikt* *snikt*" voice line. Rana wanted to save them, but Bjorn resolved that they were probably just enemy soldiers. Rana left anyway, but was faced with rubble on fire inbetween him and the group that needed saving, but Bjorn arrived and offered to help him through, since he had fire resistance. He took Rana through the fire and got burned, while his companion was fine. Rana decided to heal Bjorn, before they worked together to help the soldier up on to the roof by forming a human chain then helping them all up, after Rana and Bjorn climbed up them. The two cops seemingly made up, while the card-playing soldiers offered a game of fifty-two card pickup to Meow Meow, who agreed. They threw the deck into the fire, and because he's a stupid cat, Meow Meow jumped in and was burned alive. The soldiers took out one card each and grabbed onto a zipline at the edge of the roof and rode down, while saluting the West Side Boiz, who saluted back. Finally, the West Side Boiz were face-to-face with the throne room doors, which they walked towards in unison.
===Shadows of Visvara - Chapter 28: Nemesis===
In unison, the West Side Boiz kicked down the doors to Doug Walker's throne room, where they saw him sat down, looking out the balcony at the battle below. Sensing his allies were in immediate danger, through the bond of their souls, Sigismund desperately wanted to get up and help them, but wasn't athletic enough to climb up the zipwire (that being the only option, since the entire castle was on fire), so he was forced to stay behind and pray for their safety. Doug Walker arose to meet with the party, where he started spinning around a toy gun, while fake explosions appeared behind him, as he said, "I remember it, so that you don't have to!" He raised one hand into the air and magical sparkles fused into his hand as a golden sword appeared. He swung it around and it transmogrified into a staff that he pointed at the party, as they began to be sucked into a portal that appeared in the middle of the room. After they were all sucked in, Big Chungus appeared behind him like a stand and said, "that'll hold 'em alright!" Edron Bartholomew II appeared in an open field with mountains in the far distance. The moon hung over him brightly - it was peaceful. Suddenly, he saw a figure approaching him. As his vision adjusted to what he was seeing, he uttered "Belenus." The two walked closer to one another, unsheathing their blade. They shouted one another's family names, before running and clashing swords with a massive shockwave, as they began swinging at each other like there was no tomorrow. At first, Edron had the upper-hand, but Belenus entered a rage state and began striking harder. The back-and-forth was becoming a little one-sided, so Edron thrusted his sword into his opponent, impaling him, so Belenus retaliated by stabbing him as well. Both men had the other's sword in them, so Edron switched to hand-to-hand combat, where he used the secret Bartholomew family technique of eye-gouging, mortally wounding his opponent. Blood seeped out of all of Belenus' orifices, as he managed to inform his nemesis that, he'd recently conceived a child, meaning their family's battle wasn't over yet.
===Shadows of Visvara - Episode of Madness 10: A Little Help===
After defeating their soul's greatest enemy, the West Side Boiz were teleported back to Doug Walker's throne room, where their final mission awaited, but they're wounds were severe and Doug Walker mocked them, commenting that they were weak and their army, the Adron Knights, were failing. But when Urmok-Bill and Jackurai Sam started reeling from their exhaustion, Stewart Azazel appeared to help with the rest of BTS, because Bear Bearington had spent the last three days organising a major dose of backup from everyone truly willing to help the West Side Boiz.
===Shadows of Visvara - Chapter 29: Climax of Destiny===
Annoyed by the battle below, Walker walked behind a black curtain, giving Edron a chance to heal everybody, but as soon as he did, Walker burst through the curtain with an explosion, exacerbating the fire enveloping the castle around them, which burned down the walls of the throne room. The battle started with a swing of Walker's lance that wounded Davril, but everyone managed to hit back furiously with insane damage, only for Big Chungus to appear and heal him, while Walker stabbed Russell Howard and threw him into the fire, subsequently enraging Rana. The battle entered a cycle of heavy blows into Walker, with him healing. Davril noticed that Big Chungus was intrinsically linked to the golden weapon, so he tried to grab it and discard it, but felt his life being drained, so Edron Bartholomew II rushed over to take it from him, but faced a similar problem. Walker then took the weapon and transmogrified it into a sling that he threw at the West Side Boiz. Eventually, Walker looked at his enemies with tired eyes and raised the golden staff into the air and summoned down rays of light that blasted down onto the roof of the castle, killing the Bulging Stick, Davril, and Rana. Edron and Bjorn were left alone with Walker, so, filled with the heat of their fallen allies, Bjorn numbed Walker's armed to make him drop his weapon, while Edron kicked it away, but the weapon flew back into his hand and attacked at his enemies, with mighty swings which were narrowly dodged. Edron picked up Bulge's Dragon Blade and used them both with divine smite on Walker's head, cutting it clean off. It began to rain, as Walker's head rolled onto the floor, but the sword began rumbling and floating in the air. The weapon transmogrified into Big Chungus in his purest form, saying, "hmm... that'll hold 'em alright." Edron frantically started eating all the rocks that they'd been collecting as a laser blast came out of Big Chungus' mouth. Edron and Bjorn flew off the cliff, as he continued eating the rocks. As Edron shoved the final rock down his gob, they both felt themselves land on something strong and firm, yet gentle and comforting. They were lifted up high into the air and they looked behind themselves seeing a giant Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson asking, "can you smell... what the Rock is cooking?!" He shoved his hands down his wrestler pants and pulled out each of the West Side Boiz's favourite foods, which resurrected their fallen allies. They were all then placed on the Rock's head, while Big Chungus grew in size to match his new opponent, but the West Side Boiz requested epic wrestling moves from the Rock with him absolutely decimating the Old One with devastating grapples and strikes that finished off with a strike through his abdomen and a signature Bartholomew eye jab, killing him. The Rock placed the West Side Boiz safely on the ground and flexed his muscles, before fading into the rocks again, as they flew off into different directions. The West Side Boiz looked around themselves and saw their allies apprehending the remaining soldiers allied with Doug Walker and they were escorted back to the capital city of Dorlomin, where Shigeru Munakata announced that Visvara was once again unified and that the West Side Boiz previous criminal record had been pardoned and they were awarded medals of honour, presented to them by Bear Bearington.
===Shadows of Visvara - Chapter 30: Epilogue===
Edron Bartholomew II returned to Vibe Island, where he ruled with an iron fist.
=== Rugal Will Cry ===
Six months after the defeat of Doug Walker, the West Side Boiz each get a letter from an old ally - Loz. The letters detail that she's finally tracked down her nemesis, Farkensaw Rugal, but admittedly needs help defeating him, requesting they meet up with her on the Eastern side of Mallet Island in the Southern Isles. Unfortunately, Davril Higgenson and Leonardo Turtleneck couldn't make it, because they had both just found out that their significant others are pregnant, in addition she couldn't make contact with Sigismund or Ara, not knowing their current whereabouts. Ultimately, the only members of the West Side Boiz that answered her call were Edron Bartholomew II, Bjorn Yeye, and Rana, nevertheless, Loz put her trust in them and debriefed them, telling them that they'd need to enter the castle by the crack and defeat all of Farkensaw Rugal's friends, while she flew to the top of the castle and attack Rugal directly. Bjorn was a little dissatisfied with the fact he wasn't getting any actual compensation and only really came to see some of the others, so Loz dug around in her pockets and offered them GP 10 each and a mint (1 soft mint and 2 hard mints). With the plan secured, Loz turned into a bat and flew up, while the West Side Boiz entered the crack in the castle. Where they saw 6 doors and 2 sets of steel gates on the left and right of the room. Rana opened the steel gate on the left, because frogs always go left, only to find it was the main entrance and nothing was even out there, confusing him as to why Loz bothered to make them go through a crack in the wall. Edron Bartholomew II and Bjorn Yeye opened two of the doors to find two pairs of undead skeletons that attacked them. Edron slashed one to pieces and intimidated the other one into going "jeepers" before crumbling with the dry bones sound effect. Bjorn Yeye threw a flurry of punches at one of the skeletons completely obliterating it from existence, so the other one just said, "fuck it. It's just not worth it", before retreating back into his closet and closing the door. Edron and Bjorn check and another set of doors with one being empty and the other being full of mouldy bread that Edron tried to eat and subsequently vomited from. Bjorn coaxed Rana into opening the door with an undead skeleton in it (without telling him what was in it); the skeleton was smoking a pipe and Rana asked if he could pretend to fight him, but the skeleton just blew smoke in his face then closed the door. Disgusted by this attitude, Bjorn swung open the door and demanded he pretend to fight Rana, so he begrudgingly got out and took a classic bare-knuckle boxing stance, but Rana didn't even pretend to fight back and instead tried to befriend the skeleton, so the skeleton crushed his own skull since he didn't like the frog. At this point, they'd managed to check five of the doors leaving the final sixth one, which they all opened together, finding a set of stairs going up, so they ascended together, where they found a table with an uncannily large, pale corpse with mismatched body parts with a bunch of apparatus surrounding it, but most importantly, there was a key attached to a necklace around the corpse's neck, so Edron went to grab it. Suddenly, the corpse's yellow eyes burst open and it bellowed out "booobbiiieeess~!!!", while grabbing Edron's wrist and launching him into the wall behind him. Fortunately, it was the wall that had a bunch of pillows all over it, so he took no damage. Edron and Bjorn began their assault and started throwing all kinds of punches and sword swings, while Rana built a pillow fortress that was big relative to his size. Bjorn finished the fight by punching the corpse's head off, then he pulled out his cock and started pissing on it, so Edron got his out and started crossing streams, while they also started sword fighting, but with their penises. Rana grabbed the key from the corpse, while narrowly avoiding the piss streams and went downstairs to unlock the gate on the "other left" (the right). Eventually, the others came down and they all entered the next area together, where they found a quaint little garden, where a wolf head wall fountain was placed directly opposite them. There were also two doors on the left and right of them, so the party split up. Edron had gone the immediate left and had found himself in a dark corridor that was strangely getting slimier the further down he got. When he got to the end he found a slime covered door he reluctantly opened to find an even darker room, where he could vaguely make out the shape of a transparent cube with floating objects inside of it. Most of the objects were bones or armour, but there was also a wolf's eye crystal in there too, so he went over and tried to grab it, only to find his hand getting sucked in, so he swung his sword with a mighty power and cut the slime clean in half, freeing himself and exposing the insides, so he grabbed the wolf's eye crystal and a bone he wanted, before heading towards the exit, but then the cube began regenerating and it blasted ooze right at him, sending him hurdling through the door and sticking him to the ground in the hallway. As it approached ever so slowly towards him, Edron arched his back and used all his strength to lift himself out of the slime and run out the corridor, then shut the door behind him. Edron and Rana came back to the garden to find a very depressed looking Bjorn, who was lamenting his failures as a man, talking about how he wanted to take the wolf head statue off the wall, but its hollow eyeless gaze was mocking him with its resistance. Realising that the wolf's eye crystals were acting like keys of some kind, Edron grabbed Rana's and place both the eyes in the fountain, causing the the fountain to stop pouring out water and begins to slowly shake downwards into the ground. The party look up to the sky and notice the clouds parting, revealing a full moon, as they begin to hear a loud howl. Suddenly, a silhouette springs forward from beyond the castle into the garden and lands behind them all. It arches its back revealing its immense size, before showing them that it is in fact a towering werewolf. It gives a a sharp grin while saying, "ah! I'm a werewolf! Ah! Fight me! Fight me!!" Edron tried to make peace with it by showing his bearskin cape and going look at me, we're brother, but the werewolf just said, "that's a bear you moron," while getting into a low-stance. As the three of them prepared to fight, the door Edron came out of burst open as the slime creature appeared again, since he didn't kill it. The all-out battle began with Edron swinging his sword at the the slime, only to have it get swallowed in, prompting him to smartly follow-up with a punch, that caused his whole body to get engulfed, while, Bjorn and the Werewolf were exchanging heavy blows. Rana attempted to befriend the werewolf, but it hungered for frog flesh, so he abandoned the idea and tried to talk to the slime, finding out it for some reason could talk frog, but at like basic GCSE-level understanding. He compiled simple phrases to articulate that he wanted him to let Edron go, so the slime split apart and put him in a smaller cage, attesting that he was actually an evil slime and also begged him not to use fire, because he's weak to it, so Rana told him that he'd kill him and asked Bjorn to use his fire to kill the slime. Bjorn produced a flame that melted and dissolved the slime into mush, freeing Edron who was now spitting out all of the slime in his body. The werewolf then drop kicked and bit Bjorn, so he punched both side of the werewolf's hips, while Edron gouged his eyes out with his secret technique, causing him to flee away in agony. The party pressed on through the fountain, where they found a dining hall with a long table full of food, but at the end were two figures sat just in front of another door. Rana swaggered up like he owned the place and sat in a seat next to them and said, "whad'ya think you guys are doin' in my crib?" only for his intimidation to fall flat, since one of the figures was an unconscious Loz and the other was a stoic knight in heavy armour. The knight grabbed Rana and squeezed him within in an inch of his life, before dropping him and drawing his sword at the others. Edron swung his sword at him, while Bjorn rushed over to Rana and told him not to die now, before sending a couple of his own punches the knight's way. The knight's immense power was formidable though, as just one swung nearly killed Edron, shocking all three of them. The fight cycled through them getting brutally hit, trying to heal themselves, or getting the occasional hit back, but in the end it seemed the odds were no in the West Side Boiz's favour. Rana crawled over to Loz and screamed in her face to wake her up. Successful, he told her to help them, because they're fucking dying! Loz couldn't do much in the way of healing, because she had no such abilities, but she also couldn't attack due to exhaustion, so she offered to turn Rana into a vampire, which he accepted, turning him into an immortal creature of the night. Loz then immediately realised that he was a pacifist and regretted to inform him that blood was one of his only sources of sustenance, but it seemed Rana was undergoing the beginnings of a new vicissitude. Edron then healed everyone and the battle raged on, eventually leading to Bjorn punching the knight's helmet off, revealing it to be a much paler Vergil with glowing red eyes, as if possessed. Confused by this betrayal, they called out Bjorn called out to Vergil, but he was in agony of his face being revealed and stumbled back into a window, smashing through it. They all gathered to check the window only to find he'd disappeared. They ate from the feast on the table, while they asked Loz what happened. She explained that she was knocked out by Vergil upon entering this dining hall, trying to get Farkensaw Rugal's throne room, which was through the doors in front of them. Fully healed and prepared, they headed towards it and opened it together with courage in their hearts. The throne itself was facing out at the balcony in the moonlit landscape. A large black cloak stretched out from beyond the throne and it collapsed to the ground as the figure sat there began to stand up, revealing its immense size. Shockingly, it was caringly holding a baby that it put in a cottage, before turning towards the party and introduced himself as Farkensaw Rugal. Understanding the situation, they all took a fighting stance and began exchanging blows. The fight was brutal, despite Rana's attempts for friendship and sexual intercourse, resulting in Rugal swinging a chair at the West Side Boiz, which knocked out Loz. The fight was eventually won however due to Bjorn setting Rugal on fire, which caused his clothes to burn off, allowing Rana to enter his asshole freely. Rugal shit him out and decided he was done, so he grabbed his baby and turned into a bat to fly away, hoping to never see them again. He was gone for about 10 seconds, only to return and ask if they killed all his friends and the West Side Boiz confirmed this fact, although they said his werewolf friend was still alive. Rugal flew away once again, this time filled with more despair, while Loz woke up ready for round 2, only to be berated by her companions for not doing her job and for doing basically nothing even while they were trying to assassinate Doug Walker. She gave them the other half of their payment with teary eyes and apologised, while they all paddled back to mainland Visvara on their boat.
=== Queen Ember's Backstory ===
Main Article - Queen Ember
One day, a crew of pirates came to Vibe Island, in hopes of plundering it and stealing its riches, but they were swiftly and easily wiped out by King Edron Bartholomew II and his knights. After the confrontation, Edron acknowledged the pirate captain’s potential to perhaps one day lead Vibe Island, aware of the fact he had no heir and was likely nearing death, since he was now in his 90s. The captain, Ember, was interested in becoming a Queen, having found a new idol to look up towards; it would also mean she’d actually be rich, but she was already burdened with leading her pirate crew. Without telling anyone, she decided to consider who could replace her as captain, but no one in the crew already was truly trustworthy, so she decided to travel mainland Visvara, alone, to search for someone worthy enough to be the next captain.
=== Radiance of Visvara - Chapter 13: Vibe Birthright ===
After a freak earthquake in Visvara, Vibe Island immediately responded to rebuild and recover, but they were invaded by Dominque Belenus IV's forces almost immediately and the weak Edron Bartholomew II easily fell without Ember to help. He was imprisoned in the secret chamber by the cemetery, seemingly being kept alive for a reason. Several days later he was rescued by Ember, Geron Andur, and Roger Heart who helped him to his garden. He did a backflip despite warnings not to. He executed a perfect flip and died standing up in the centre of his garden. The Moss Boiz covered Edron in leaves to honour his memory.
