## Event Dialogue

### Chapter 1

* Monk
* Chuckler
* Panda
* Assassin
* TNT
Monk

**Monk:** Hi, I’m looking for someone. Think you might know where to find him.

**Lord Protector:** I know everything about everyone on Pangea. Or almost everything...

**Monk:** I’m looking for Claude Mesmero. Where can I find him?

**Lord Protector:** Beats me! If you see Claude, tell him Lord Protector wants to talk.

**Lord Protector:** Wait a minute. I think I know you. Why are you looking for Claude?

**Monk:** I am not disclosing the details of my mission to you.

...

**Lord Protector:** Did you hear something? What was that?

**Monk:** Sounds like some kind of… laughter…?

**Lord Protector:** We’ll finish this some other time.Chuckler

**Chuckler:** Heh heh heh hahah hah hah!

**Lord Protector:** Great. Another giggling psychopath!

**Lord Protector:** You are the one responsible for fireworks tonight, ain't you?

**Chuckler:** Indeed I am! And tonight, it is going to be a BLAST!

**Lord Protector:** You mean, me blasting your face open? Happy to oblige!

...

**Chuckler:** That’s not funny… You are such a buzzkill!

**Lord Protector:** At least, I’m not trying to do stand-up comedy while killing innocent people!

**Chuckler:** I’ve heard you were looking for your little friendly alchemist. Wanna know a secret?

**Lord Protector:** Fine. Tell me where he is.

**Chuckler:** Oh, this is going to be hilarious!Panda

**Panda:** No! What happened to me? The last thing I remember is that I took that bamboo serum and... Now look at me!

**Lord Protector:** Nothing a good plastic surgeon can’t fix.

**Panda:** Don’t you recognize me, Lord Protector? It is me, Claude Mesmero.

**Lord Protector:** It can’t be… You're not a human anymore!

**Panda:** Must be a miscalculation in my formula…

**Lord Protector:** Look. There’s an assassin looking for you. I must take you to the safe house.

**Panda:** I’m not going anywhere! Not until I revert this! You won't take me!

...

**Lord Protector:** Come on, Claude. Relax. This is for your own good.

**Panda:** It’s a conspiracy! I know that! They didn’t want me to succeed and then made me drink it.

**Lord Protector:** Who are you talking about?

**Panda:** The brotherhood of alchemists. They always made fun of me.

**Lord Protector:** I don't think you're right about this.

**Panda:** Of course you don't! But who else would send an assassin after me? Days before my breakthrough! I don’t have enemies besides them.

**Lord Protector:** Fair enough. I’ll talk to the assassin and try to find out more about who hired him. And tomorrow we’ll pay them a visit.Assassin

**Lord Protector:** Who hired you?

**Assassin:** I’m not for sale if that’s what you’re interested in.

**Lord Protector:** I just need the name.

**Assassin:** And what makes you think I’ll give it up?

**Lord Protector:** See those guys behind my back? They have ways of making people talk.

...

**Lord Protector:** At least, tell me why your boss wants Mesmero dead.

**Assassin:** Oh, haven’t you heard? He’s not done with his experiment.

**Lord Protector:** What do you mean?

**Assassin:** His transformation was intentional.

**Lord Protector:** That's nonsense! Who wants to be a panda?

**Assassin:** Maybe he was aiming at something else but it got out hand.

**Lord Protector:** You’re insane, dude. Just stay away from Mesmero, okay?TNT

**TNT:** Look at you! Still looking for your friend?

**TNT:** Considering he’s still your friend, of course!

**Lord Protector:** What the heck are you talking about? Stop your nonsense and drop your bombs!

**TNT:** Drop my bombs? OKAY! CATCH THEM!

...

**Lord Protector:** Ka-boom, loser.

**TNT:** Funny you should mention it. Because tonight this place will light up with fire! Only the cause of celebration will be quite unusual...

**Lord Protector:** You talk too much. You need to reconsider your behavior. My dungeon will be a great place for it.
### Chapter 2

* Alchemist
* Chuckler
* Mr. Blast
* Claude
* Lin Shao
Alchemist

**Lord Protector:** Hello, friend. I talked to the guy. He told me some crazy stuff about you.

**Alchemist:** Yeah? Like what?

**Lord Protector:** He told me that you brought this on yourself.

**Alchemist:** And did you believe him?

**Lord Protector:** I began to wonder… Why did you experiment on yourself? Why now?

**Lord Protector:** And then I realized. You made a deal with that mad bomber.

**Alchemist:** Guilty as charged, detective. But I think you should go now.

**Lord Protector:** I’m not going anywhere.

...

**Lord Protector:** What is your plan?

**Alchemist:** Oh, it’s simple. That bamboo potion was a mistake, I admit. But I changed the formula, even tested it.

**Alchemist:** The next stage of my experiment will transform everyone on Pangea.

**Lord Protector:** But why do you need this?

**Alchemist:** Imagine the world where all illnesses are cured. Imagine this… As the only way.

**Lord Protector:** I'm afraid I can't let that happen.

**Alchemist:** Are you sure? Join me, Lord Protector, and together we will end the suffering!Chuckler

**Tracker:** Now you know the truth. Mesmero wants to transform the world into something horrible.

**Lord Protector:** But for a noble cause, I must give him that.

**Lord Protector:** I wish I could guarantee that his cure will work.

**Tracker:** But you can’t. Look at what he did to himself!

**Lord Protector:** Not the worst case scenario, if you ask me. However, you are right. I won’t let him continue this experiment.

**Tracker:** That's not enough. We must destroy him, so he will never try making any more of his crazy ideas come true!

**Lord Protector:** I’ve got one simple rule. No killing.

...

**Tracker:** Why are you protecting him?

**Lord Protector:** It’s all in my name. Lord PROTECTOR, see?

**Tracker:** But he’s going to change the entire world.

**Lord Protector:** No. I will go to his lab and destroy the serum of transformation.

**Tracker:** This is not the answer! He'll just make more of it!

**Lord Protector:** You’re asking me to cross the line here. I can’t do that. Sorry.Mr. Blast

**Lord Protector:** I see you’ve escaped from your cell.

**Mr. Blast:** It’s easy when you have as much dynamite as I do!

**Lord Protector:** Last time we met, you said that Pangea is going down. How?

**Mr. Blast:** Haven’t you heard the old saying?

**Mr. Blast:** Shoot first, ask questions later! Ha ha ha!

...

**Mr. Blast:** How do you make things explode?

**Lord Protector:** I bash them with my sword until they do.

**Mr. Blast:** What did they teach you at school? Okay, let me put it simple.

**Mr. Blast:** If you could plant a bomb big enough to make Pangea shatter… where would you put it?

**Lord Protector:** Are you asking me for directions?

**Mr. Blast:** I’m not as stupid as you think I am. Explosives are my only true love. The only thing that makes me tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.

**Lord Protector:** You’ve already planted the bomb, haven’t you?

**Mr. Blast:** Tick. Heh. Tock. Heheh. Tick. Heheheh. TOOOOOCK!

**Lord Protector:** I don’t have time for your stupid games. I need to evacuate the area!Claude

**Lord Protector:** Mesmero! Where are you?

**Claude:** You again? Are you here to arrest me? Don’t you understand the importance of my work here?

**Lord Protector:** Mesmero, you need to evacuate. Now. The Battle Chamber is going to explode!

**Claude:** Good. Maybe then you’ll realize that my job here is quite important!

**Lord Protector:** If you don’t go with me, I will make you.

...

**Lord Protector:** The Battle Chamber will explode in a matter of minutes!

**Claude:** You're so silly. Don’t you get it? I’m ready to die!

**Lord Protector:** Your death will be pointless. Help me defuse the bomb in the Chamber and I’ll help you in your experiment.

**Claude:** You promise?

**Lord Protector:** I… I give you my word.

**Claude:** Well. Let’s go get your bomb then.Lin Shao

**Lin Shao:** I know your squad is protecting Mesmero. Give him to me and I’ll let you through.

**Lord Protector:** You don’t understand. There’s going to be an explosion. A really big one. Mesmero is the only one around here, who can save the world.

**Lin Shao:** I thought we agreed that he cannot be trusted!

**Lord Protector:** Who said that I can trust YOU?!

...

**Lin Shao:** There’s no bomb in that Battle Chamber of yours.

**Lin Shao:** The bomber is just messing with you. These two are clearly working together.

**Lord Protector:** No, I don’t think so.

**Lin Shao:** Turn around. Where’s Mesmero? Can you see where he went?

**Lord Protector:** He probably just… He ditched me.

**Lin Shao:** Yes, he did.
### Chapter 3

* The Bomb
* Crazy Doc
* Savior
* Mad Bomber
* Mesmero
The Bomb

**Lord Protector:** You lied about the bomb.

**The Bomb:** What else did you expect from a trickster?

**The Bomb:** I mean, look at my face! Does it look trustworthy to you?

**Lord Protector:** When we’re done, your face will be unrecognizable.

...

**The Bomb:** Come on! Come closer, Lord Protector!

**The Bomb:** Step up to your doom, and the bomb will go BOOM!

**Lord Protector:** Are you kidding? You couldn't plant it so fast. We just fought here.

**The Bomb:** Well, the chances are 50/50. See this little thing in my hand? This is what they call the Equalizer.

**Lord Protector:** Did I mention that your jokes are getting dumber each time we meet? Must be a brain concussion. Go see the doctor.

**The Bomb:** Are we talking about the same doctor here? Cause right at this fine moment Dr. Claude Mesmero, your precious little friend, is waiting for your decision.

**The Bomb:** What do you say? Are you in or are you out… of your mind?

**Lord Protector:** Stay aside. This is between me and him.

**The Bomb:** Go save Pangea... Or don’t. I don’t care. Either way, the Pit, where I have actually put the bomb, will explode and there’s nothing you can do to stop it!Crazy Doc

**Lord Protector:** Mesmero. I made my decision.

**Crazy Doc:** And here I thought I’d never see you again. Let’s hear it!

**Lord Protector:** Your plan is crazy. You turned yourself into an animal and made a deal with that maniac!

**Crazy Doc:** I double-checked the formula. It’s all safe. As for Jackie, well, he’s willing to help me.

**Lord Protector:** Still, this is too dangerous. Listen, you need to come with me.

**Crazy Doc:** No! You listen! I can't stop now! Not when I'm so close to the end!

...

**Lord Protector:** How do you plan to poison everyone on Pangea?

**Crazy Doc:** Poison? I’m going to make them immortal!

**Lord Protector:** That’s not what I asked.

**Crazy Doc:** There’s a bomb in the Pit. The really big one. The explosion will vaporize my serum that I poured inside the bomb. And big news, people can't live without air!

**Lord Protector:** You sound just like that laughing lunatic.

**Crazy Doc:** Say all you want about him but the guy's a genius.

**Lord Protector:** Whatever. Show me where exactly you planted the bomb. And don't try to fool me!Savior

**Lord Protector:** Lin, the bomb's in the Pit. We need to defuse it.

**Savior:** You never change, Lord Protector. Ready to believe their lies, be their protector… Admit it, things are way out of your control now.

...

**Lord Protector:** Okay. You want me to admit it? Fine. I made a mistake. Things are way out of control. You satisfied?

**Savior:** You must let me kill Mesmero.

**Lord Protector:** No. Today is not about killing, it’s about SAVING the world. And I really need your assistance.

**Savior:** Hm. Okay, I’ll bite. Tell me what to do.

**Lord Protector:** Do you know anyone, who can disarm the Pit Bomb? Any names off the top of your head?

**Savior:** Well, High Tinker Gear, of course. I’ll go talk to him.

**Lord Protector:** And I’ll keep TNT and Mesmero off your back. Sounds like a good plan. What do you think?

**Savior:** This might just work. Come on, no time to lose.

**Lord Protector:** Uh... Yeah. Let’s go.Mad Bomber

**Mad Bomber:** It’s the final countdown! Ha ha ha!

**Lord Protector:** I’m here to end this, Jackie.

**Mad Bomber:** Who’s Jackie? My name is TNT!

**Lord Protector:** Call yourself whatever you want. Your name is Jackie Grunt and you’re an heir to your father's immense fortune.

**Lord Protector:** Is this how you decided to spend it? Bombs and gasoline?

**Mad Bomber:** You think I care about money? All I care about is to be remembered!

**Lord Protector:** And the easiest way to do this is to blow up the world, right? Who’s gonna remember you then?

...

**Mad Bomber:** You will witness my greatness.

**Lord Protector:** What about the detonator? You maniacs always need a back-up plan.

**Mad Bomber:** Mesmero has it. He’s the real hero in all this.

**Mad Bomber:** You don’t want people to become immortal. And they’re calling ME a villain.

**Lord Protector:** I’ve calculated the risks. There’s a 37% chance that citizens of Pangea will turn into mantis-like creatures and a 10% chance for them to die.

**Lord Protector:** Mesmero knows about this and he just doesn’t care. That’s why I need to stop him before it’s too late.

**Mad Bomber:** But what about the bomb itself?

**Lord Protector:** I’ve got this covered. Trust me.Mesmero

**Mesmero:** Stand right where you are and don't move!

**Lord Protector:** What is it you’re holding? The detonator, I suppose?

**Mesmero:** Don't move or I'll do it!

**Lord Protector:** Come on, do it. What are you waiting for? You can’t, can you? You know that there’s a risk to kill everyone.

**Lord Protector:** This is not you, Mesmero. That formula had a negative side effect. Give me the detonator and I’ll inject you with the cure.

**Mesmero:** But that was my dream... And you won't take it away from me! \[CLICK!\]

**Lord Protector:** ...

**Mesmero:** Hm... Why didn’t it work?

**Lord Protector:** Guess Lin Shao and High Gear Tinker succeeded. Pangea is safe once again.

...

**Mesmero:** I was supposed to become the savior of mankind… Now look at what you’ve done. I’m nothing. Nothing!

**Lord Protector:** You could kill these people or transform them into something awful. As the Lord Protector, I did what I had to do.

**Mesmero:** You said you had the cure for me. Do what you must. Give me the shot.

**Lord Protector:** We had a fight and I… I smashed the vial. I’m sorry. You’ll spend the rest of your days like this.

**Mesmero:** Ha. Ha ha ha. So ironic, I guess.
