Kong

'I am the all-mighty Master Kong!'

*Kong - Former Shadowhunters Soldier*

*Currently a free mercenary*

*Free-spirited and unpredictable. Set his sights on becoming a famous hero.*

## Intro

During the Shadowhunter initiation ceremony, a rookie in northern tribal outfit and a staff walked onto the stage, grabbed the microphone from whoever was talking at the time, and proclaimed loudly, 'I'm Kong, and I swear I'm going to be a legend among the Shadowhunters!' That's Kong in a nutshell for you.

26 years ago, the nomad tribe of the northern desert found Kong crying on top of a boulder. With no parents and no one to rely on, Boulder Boy, as he was called, was bullied by children around his age and ignored by adults. He managed to grow up in relatively good health, and actually became the tribe's main combat force due to his physique and talents. On the other hand, a restless Kong caused a lot of trouble because he didn't listen to anyone, and no one could best him. Eventually he was exiled after one last incident, and spent several years wandering the north. Two years ago, the Shadowhunters found a wandering Kong while on assignment. They scouted him because of his agility and outstanding talents.

These days, the Shadowhunters have mixed feelings about him - some think he's a great soldier that can take on man enemies at once, but some think he's nothing but trouble, and that the Shadowhunters will be responsible for his stunts. Kong, however, doesn't really care about what they think, and carries on as usual. Maybe Kong will become a hero one day. Maybe Kong will destroy this world one day. Who knows?

### Views

Unlock views by leveling the intimacy of other gyees.

* **Yan**: For the record, what I have to say is absolutely objective and has nothing to do with the fact that Kong always plays tricks on me! During Kong's service in Shadowhunters, he has broken the rules for over a hundred times! No one else is as unruly as him! No matter what job he is gonna do, I hope that he can obey the rules.
*Yan's Intimacy reaches Lv.2 to unlock*
* **Antonio**: I know this young fellow! He is a nice and very friendly guy! He loves showing off, but he always screw things up! Hahaha!
*Antonio's Intimacy reaches Lv.4 to unlock*
* **Grancy**: Kong used to serve under me. It's a pity that he got expelled from Shadowhunters, but in terms of ability, Kong was... extremely strong! If he remains a member of Shadowhunters, he would without doubt be a blade to destroy the Shadow!
*Grancy's Intimacy reaches Lv.6 to unlock*
* **Bernard**: When Kong joined Shadowhunters, I was his instructor. He had caused way more troubles then he does now! But he managed to control himself and obey his superior's commands, and so he passed the rookies' test. However, somehow I saw Moon's shadow on him. It's nice to be one of Shadowhunters, but I don't wish that he would lose his true self to become a Shadowhunter! I... will not let him become another Moon!
*Bernard's Intimacy reaches Lv.8 to unlock*
* **Shadowhunters Warrior**: Kong? Yes! I know him! He is a greater trouble than the Shadow! Why do I say so? Because while he is able to destroy an entire Shadow base single-handedly, he has also cause even greater trouble that the Shadow have done!
* **BlackFlame City Guild**: Kong? Of course I know him. He is a mercenary who came to BlackFlame City not long ago. What's strange is that he seems to only care about commissions on the Shadow...
* **Eagle the Mercenary**: This bastard... I tried to rob him when he just arrived at BlackFlame City, but I got robbed by him instead!! But what really angered me was that he later came to ask me to join his mercenary corps! Have you ever seen an idiot like him?
* **Iron Bear the Mercenary**: I know nothing except my strength! When I just came to BlackFlame City, I fell to a trap and would have been killed were it not for Kong's rescue. I've heard that Kong is founding his mercenary corps. I'd like to join me if I've got the chance. I really wish to help him with my strength!
* **Fire Lizard the Mercenary**: Yes. I've joined Kong's mercenary corps. There's nothing weird! He is indeed a trouble-maker, but such is what a young man is! Even I feel younger when fighting with him!

## Scripts

### Consolation Letter

Hey! I'm Kong!

I forgot to tell you when we were drinking! I'm a free mercenary now. If you come across any trouble in the future, just tell me! Master Kong will take care of it! Plus, if you come across the Shadows and you can't deal with them, please let me know! I'll help you get rid of them! Why? After all, I was discharged from the Shadowhunters because of the Shadows. I must seek my revenge! Deal!

I've got work to do! I'll talk to you later! Visit me when you have time!

### Bath Drama

* Ahhhh! Nice! It feels so good to have a bath before sleep!
* This big stick needs cleaning... I mean, my Crimson King!
* Emmm... Just soaking in the water... Boring... Better make fun of others!

Haha, the all-mighty, super cool Kong is here! You're here to give me your vote, aren't you?

**Billy**: Captain, someone is...
**Kong**: The Super-duper micky Master Kong is here!
**Player**: You mean mighty?
**Kong**: Oh, is it? Whatever...
**Kong**: Master Kong is simply super awesome and super cool!
**Player**: Yes, yes...
**Player**: Ever since the Shadowhunters hearing I haven't heard anything from you...
**Player**: What have you been up to?
**Player**: I've been traveling around, taking odd jobs here and there...
**Kong**: I've eaten well and sleeping well, so liberating!
**Player**: Wow, so you're enjoying life...
**Kong**: Hehe! I know!
*Kong's stomach rumbles...*
**Kong**: ...
**Player**: Are you hungry?
**Kong**: No! You've heard nothing! I am the 'Son of Rock'!
**Player**: ...
**Player**: Even a rock man needs to eat!
**Player**: It's almost time for dinner. Why don't you stay and eat with us?
**Kong**: No, it's fine.
**Kong**: Hehe, but since you asked...
**Player**: ...
**Player**: Okay!
**Kong**: Haha, great! It's been two days since I...
**Kong**: Ughh, no... you heard nothing!
**Player**: ...
**Player**: Kong, what is your next destination? I'll take you over after we finish the meal...
**Kong**: Oh? Will you?
**Player**: Sure!
**Kong**: Please take me to BlackFlame City then.
**Kong**: I didn't ask you to give me a ride because I couldn't afford to take the public airship!
**Player**: (You said that yourself...)
**Player**: Okay! Don't worry!

**-Intimacy Level 5**

*Hottie Bar, Airship...*
 *Kong walks in carrying a large barrel of wine...*
**Player**: Wow! Such a large barrel...
**Player**: What are you going to do with it?
**Kong**: Of course this is for you!
**Player**: For me? It looks like you've made a small fortune.
**Kong**: Hehe! Player, I've found the place where I belong!!
**Player**: The place you belong?
**Kong**: BlackFlame City!
**Kong**: I didn't know there is a lawless city in Luxium!
**Kong**: BlackFlame City is perfect for me!
**Player**: Okay... as long as you don't find it dangerous...
**Kong**: Indeed. When I first arrived, someone tried to rob me...
**Kong**: But in the end, I robbed them! Haha!
**Kong**: Then I took a few assignments from the BlackFlame City Council to fight the Shadows...
**Kong**: It was not hard at all. It was easy money to make!
**Player**: Well, you are after all 'the man who's worse than the shadow'!
**Kong**: ...
**Kong**: Haha, yes...
**Kong**: Anyway, this wine is to repay your kindness!
**Kong**: If it wasn't for you, I would've been starved to death out there...
**Player**: You are welcome, so...
**Player**: If you are ever in trouble again, don't be so stubborn!
**Kong**: Hehehe!

**-Intimacy Level 6**

*A street in BlackFlame City*
**Shadowhunters Soldier A**: Damn, this rock monster!
**Shadowhunters Soldier A**: He's too hardheaded! Even three bears won't be able to pull him back!
**Shadowhunters Soldier B**: Sigh... this guy's brain is really made of rocks!
**Player**: You are...
**Shadowhunters Soldier A**: Oh? It's Player, it's been a while!
**Player**: You are Grancy's soldiers!
**Player**: Why are you doing in BlackFlame City? Are you on a mission?
**Shadowhunters Soldier B**: You can say that I guess...
**Shadowhunters Soldier A**: Sir Grancy wants to recruit Kong to join the special forces of Shadowhunters.
**Player**: Special forces?
**Shadowhunters Soldier A**: He'd be allowed to move freely and only respond to the summon of high command when necessary...
**Shadowhunters Soldier A**: He can enjoy all the benefits of the Shadowhunters, but his identity will not be made public officially...
**Player**: It sounds like some sort of secret agent.
**Shadowhunters Soldier B**: Usually, only the strongest Shadowhunter heroes can join the special forces!
**Shadowhunters Soldier B**: Sir Grancy fought hard for Kong to get this opportunity!
**Player**: Wow, that sounds great!
**Player**: Not having to follow orders all the time, and being allowed to fight for the Shadowhunters...
**Player**: It sounds perfect for Kong!
**Shadowhunters Soldier B**: Right? That's what I thought...
**Shadowhunters Soldier B**: But Kong just rejected us right away!
**Player**: What?
**Shadowhunters Soldier A**: He said the Shadowhunters is so boring and he wouldn't want to join...
**Shadowhunters Soldier A**: Said he'd never have joined if he had known...
**Shadowhunters Soldier B**: Stupid rock brainer! If it's not for Sir Grancy appreciating his ability...
**Shadowhunters Soldier B**: Why would we come and look for him!
**Player**: Kong has his own way of thinking. If he wants to, you can't really force him...
**Shadowhunters Soldier A**: But, just like what Sir Grancy said...
**Shadowhunters Soldier A**: It would be a waste for someone as strong as Kong to not join the Shadowhunters...
**Shadowhunters Soldier B**: Anyway! We should head back and report to Lord Grancy!
**Shadowhunters Soldier B**: I hope he won't give us jobs like this anymore.
**Shadowhunters Soldier A**: Anyway. Let's go.
*The two soldiers leave angrily.*
**Player**: Is it a shame... that he doesn't join the Shadowhunters?

**-Intimacy Level 7**

*Note: All of Kong's Date scenes take place before this Intimacy scene*
*In a restaurant in BlackFlame City...*
**Player**: This should be the place Kong mentioned...
**Grancy**: Kong, we need to...
**Kong**: ...
**Player**: Oh! Kong and Grancy are already here!
*You walk to the table where Kong and Grancy are...*
**Player**: Hey! Grancy! Kong!
**Kong**: Ah, Player, you are here!
**Kong**: Boss Grancy! Player is here, should we order something to eat first?
**Grancy**: Just call me Grancy. You are not working for me anymore...
**Grancy**: Also, I can't stay long. I still have some business to attend to.
**Kong**: Oh...
**Grancy**: Kong, I hope you'll consider what I just said...
**Kong**: ...
**Kong**: There's nothing to consider! I am never going back!
**Grancy**: You don't need to join my team or obey my command...
**Grancy**: You'll be in the special forces. Most of the time you can do whatever you want...
**Grancy**: You just have to fight for the Shadowhunters whenever we need you, that's all.
**Grancy**: Kong, since becoming a mercenary, you've only accepted assignments related to killing Shadows...
**Grancy**: If that's the case, then you may as well come back!
**Kong**: I won't!
**Grancy**: Do you want to just be a mercenary in BlackFlame City forever?
**Kong**: What's wrong with being a mercenary? Being a mercenary, I can still have my own band of brothers!
**Kong**: And mercenaries have a lot more freedom than the Shadowhunters!
**Kong**: And I won't get punished for saving my own brothers!
**Player**: Calm... calm down, everyone...
**Grancy**: ...
**Grancy**: Okay. If that's your decision...
**Grancy**: I have no right to interfere!
*Grancy stands up...*
**Grancy**: Kong... most people don't have the power to but they still try their best to save the world...
**Grancy**: And you, with the power of a hero, why don't you want to... be a hero?
**Grancy**: Think about it with that rock brain of yours...
**Grancy**: Excuse me, Player...
*Grancy walks out of the restaurant...*
**Kong**: ...
**Kong**: Boss! Give me ten pepper sauce rock barbeque steak!
**Restaurant Owner**: Right away!
**Player**: Ten?! Kong, don't make yourself sick...
**Kong**: It's okay, it's nothing.
**Kong**: Player, come join me!
*Scene - A BlackFlame City restaurant*
*A few moments later...*
**Kong**: Aha! Delicious!
**Player**: Kong, you ate nine steaks...
**Player**: Are you okay?
**Kong**: I need to eat more to get stronger!
**Player**: Kong... if you are unhappy, you should talk to someone...
**Player**: Binge eating is not good for you.
**Kong**: Unhappy? Who's unhappy? I'm in the perfect mood!
**Player**: Kong...
**Kong**: ...
**Player**: ...
**Kong**: Is it... that obvious?
**Player**: It's more obvious than you think!
**Kong**: Ha... Ha.. Okay...
**Player**: Kong, do you really not want to go back to the Shadowhunters?
**Kong**: Of course...
**Kong**: I do!
**Kong**: After all...
**Kong**: It's been my dream to become a Shadowhunter ever since I was little!
**Player**: In that case, why didn't you say yes when Grancy invited you?
**Kong**: Player, they discharged me!
**Kong**: They want to order me around as they please...
**Kong**: That's outrageous even for the Shadowhunters!
**Kong**: They can't expect me to go back as soon as they ask me to...
**Kong**: That's humiliating!
**Player**: Humiliating?
**Player**: Even if you go back... no one would look down on you!
**Kong**: Sigh... even so...
**Kong**: Anyway, I just don't want to go back!
**Kong**: My brain is made of rocks, I don't think like you!
**Player**: Your brain is not made of rocks... you are flesh and blood!
**Kong**: ...
**Kong**: Flesh and blood...?
**Kong**: Haha, you are the first one to ever see me as a 'person'.
**Player**: What?
**Kong**: Boss! Ten more pepper sauce rock barbeque steaks!
**Player**: Hey! Kong!
**Kong**: Don't worry. These are not for me. They're for my brothers in my mercenary band!
**Kong**: Oh, I forgot to tell you, I've started a small mercenary band...
**Player**: Mercenary band? Wow!
**Kong**: With a mercenary band, we can take on some bigger assignments!
**Kong**: If you are in trouble, let us know. I'll give you a discount!
*A few moments later...*
**Kong**: The food for my brothers is ready!
**Kong**: I should go back! Bye!
**Kong**: Oh right, Player... Thank you!
*Kong runs off*
**Player**: Thank... me?
*At the restaurant entrance, Kong meets with three mercenaries: a slim man with a gun, an old mage and a swordsman in full armor*
**Mage Mercenary**: Hey, Kong... what's taken you so long?
**Mage Mercenary**: Are you trying to starve us?
**Swordsman Mercenary**: Have you forgotten us?
**Kong**: Sorry fellas. I was chatting with my friend...
**Kong**: As compensation, I've brought double portions for each one of you!
**Gunner**: Humph, you are forgiven then!!
**Gunner**: Let's go back!
**Player**: ...

**Bernard**: Player!
**Player**: Bernard!
*Bernard walks towards you...*
**Bernard**: Player I haven't seen you in a while!
**Player**: Right! The last time I saw you was at Kong's hearing...
**Player**: Captain Bernard, what are you doing in Never Isle?
**Bernard**: I'm here to deal with some Shadowhunter business.
**Player**: I see...
**Bernard**: Player, after Kong's hearing...
**Bernard**: Did he... contact you?
**Player**: Kong?
**Bernard**: Yes.
**Player**: He did...
**Player**: He visited me a few days after the hearing!
**Bernard**: A few days!
**Bernard**: So... how is he doing right now?
**Player**: He's now a mercenary in BlackFlame City, I think he's doing pretty well.
**Player**: He even started his own mercenary band not long ago!
**Bernard**: I see...
**Bernard**: It's amazing that he's built his own gang!
**Player**: How come... you don't know about this, Bernard?
**Bernard**: Yeah.
**Bernard**: Ever since the hearing...
**Bernard**: Kong hasn't contacted me again...
**Player**: You guys are brothers! I thought Kong would tell you right away!
*Bernard shakes his head...*
**Bernard**: That's for the best!
**Bernard**: Kong would fly even higher without me!
**Player**: But... I think Kong should at least tell you. You guys are such good friends.
**Player**: I'll send your regards to Kong when I see him next time...
**Bernard**: Player, you don't have to...
**Bernard**: After all...
**Bernard**: I voted 'yes' that day...
**Player**: I see...
**Player**: So I'll just pretend I don't know anything between you and Kong!
**Bernard**: Yes, please!

**Vundo**: Damn it! How dare people rob the Arcana Academy!
**Player**: What happened, Principal? Did the academy get robbed?
**Vundo**: Yes... someone knocked down the researcher responsible...
**Vundo**: Avoided all the arcana traps...
**Vundo**: I designed those traps personally!
**Player**: Someone who can escape your traps...
**Player**: Is it someone from the academy?
**Vundo**: That is not possible...
**Vundo**: Many people saw the face of the thief!
**Vundo**: He is a big muscular guy!
**Player**: A big guy, who escaped... all the traps?
**Vundo**: Yes...
**Player**: Did you lose anything? I can help.
**Vundo**: Thank you Player.
**Vundo**: An arcana artifact which can disturb arcana array is missing...
**Vundo**: Bring this arcana detector with you. It sends a warning when it's near an artifact!
**Player**: Ok! I see!
*A few moments later...*
*In the streets of Never Isle.*
**Player**: The arcana detector has no response...
*Suddenly, the arcana detector sounds an alert...*
**Player**: Yes!
*According to the direction of the arcana detector...*
*You arrive in the street corner...*
**Player**: So this is it!
*Suddenly, a massive guy bumps into you...*
**Kong**: Ouch, sorry!
**Kong**: What? Player?
**Player**: What? Kong?
**Kong**: (At the same time) What are you doing here?
**Player**: (At the same time) What are you doing here?
**Kong**: I want to... buy some weapons... in Never Isle...
**Player**: Weapons?
**Kong**: Um... the mercenaries... need them...

**Player**: The thief won't be able to run away with the defense force here!
**Kong**: Yes... of course...
**Player**: Tell me when you are in Never Isle next time! Let me buy you a drink!
**Kong**: ...
**Kong**: Sure!
*Some time later...*
*Arcana Academy...*
**Vundo**: It's been such a long time. The thief must have...
**Mira**: Principal, I am so sorry. We've failed in our duties!
**Vundo**: Don't blame yourself. The thing that got stolen is not really important...
**Vundo**: But this thief... he's quite a character!
**Mira**: I've asked Captain Izumi to find out the thief's identity...
**Izumi**: Captain Mira, I've found it!
*Izumi runs in...*
**Mira**: Izumi, did you find anything?
**Izumi**: Yes! Recently they've encountered a similar person everywhere in Luxium!
**Player**: Everywhere in Luxium?
**Izumi**: Yes! He's muscular and agile, uses a big red staff as his weapon...
**Player**: Muscular and agile, wields a big red staff...
**Player**: What?
**Izumi**: In other cities, he's not only been stealing but has been involved in sabotage activities...
**Mira**: Could be a spy...has anyone been injured?
**Izumi**: There have been no casualties. He just knocked the guards out every time...
**Mira**: Oh... are there any witnesses who've seen his face?
**Izumi**: Unfortunately no... This guy is very agile. No one has seen his face. Even the Shadowhunters in Westhold hadn't been able to catch him!
**Player**: He even went to Westhold?
**Izumi**: Yes! He destroyed an outpost in Westhold a few days ago!
**Player**: ...
**Player**: (Could it be Kong?)
**Mira**: Anyway, our opponent this time is no ordinary person...
**Mira**: But no matter where he goes, we'll catch him!

**Player**: (What happened?)

*In the hall of the Arcana Academy...*
**Bernard**: I will never believe that no matter what you say!!
**Grancy**: Captain Bernard, please calm down!
**Grancy**: Kong is a mercenary of BlackFlame City now...
**Grancy**: Maybe he did those things under someone else's order...
**Bernard**: That's impossible!
**Bernard**: Kong is a noisy, troublesome pain in the neck sometimes!
**Bernard**: But I believe he has the ability to distinguish right from wrong!!
**Grancy**: Captain Bernard, I don't want to believe it either...
**Grancy**: But all the evidence is now pointing at Kong...
**Bernard**: Did anyone see him?
**Grancy**: ...
**Bernard**: Who really saw Kong's face?
**Grancy**: So far no one yet...
**Bernard**: So how can you be so sure that it's Kong?
**Player**: Please stop arguing!
**Player**: Anyway, I think our first priority is to find Kong as soon as possible!
**Bernard**: What? So even you think Kong did those things, Player?
**Player**: No! I trust him!
**Player**: But now the only way to prove that he's innocent is to find him!
**Bernard**: I'll take care of it! I'll find him!
**Bernard**: But what does it mean to establish a joint search team?
**Bernard**: Why are you treating Kong like a traitor and a fugitive?!
**Grancy**: ...
**Vundo**: The joint search meeting is ready. Please come in!
*At the meeting...*
*Bernard tries his best to persuade the high command to cancel the search warrant...*
*But because all the evidence and witnesses are now pointing at Kong...*
*No one wants to believe Bernard...*
*Finally, the joint search team is established*
*After the operation meeting, at the hall of the Arcana Academy...*
**Grancy**: Captain Bernard, don't worry. We'll find Kong!
**Bernard**: ...
**Player**: I don't understand the Shadowhunters high command and Never Isle...
**Player**: Bernard understands Kong the most, and yet they did not let Bernard join the search team!
**Grancy**: ...
**Bernard**: And they won't let me join either because of my relationship with Kong.
**Bernard**: They are probably worried that I will go easy on Kong...
**Grancy**: Captain Bernard, there's a reason for the high command's worries...
**Bernard**: Of course! So, Lord Grancy, Player!
**Bernard**: I'll leave it to you to find Kong!
**Grancy**: Sure! Don't worry!!
**Player**: If I find Kong, I will contact you right away!
*Some time later...*
*Bernard is the only one left in the hall of the Arcana Academy...*
**Bernard**: Kong... I will definitely find you! I'll prove that you are innocent!

**-Intimacy Level 11**

**Billy**: Captain, someone's sent you a letter!
**Player**: Oh? Letter? Who sent me a letter?
**Billy**: Well... someone that I don't know...
**Billy**: The sender is...
**Billy**: 'The Son of Rock of the North Dessert'
**Player**: Son of Rock?
**Player**: Give it to me now!
**Kong's Letter**: Player!
**Kong's Letter**: Come to Eversun A.S.A.P!
**Kong's Letter**: Something's happened!
**Player**: !!
**Player**: Billy! Reroute and go to Eversun!
**Billy**: Gotcha, Captain!
**Player**: (Kong... what happened?)
*Scene - Eversun harbor*
*Eversun...*
**Player**: (This is where Kong and I are supposed to meet...)
**Player**: !!
**Player**: Is that... Grancy?!
**Player**: There're no guards with him...
*Grancy notices you...*
**Grancy**: Player, what are you doing here?
**Grancy**: Did Kong also send you a letter?
**Player**: So you also came for that...
**Grancy**: Yes. In his letter, Kong said he needs my help. That's why I am here.
*Kong runs up to Player and Grancy*
**Kong**: Player, Boss Grancy, you are finally here!
**Grancy**: What's going on?
**Grancy**: You disappeared for months and then you send us some strange letters!
**Kong**: Sorry, Boss Grancy...
**Player**: Grancy, let's not place blame on Kong now...
**Player**: Kong, are you in trouble?
**Grancy**: Hold on! Before that, answer me first!
**Grancy**: Is it you who's been obstructing the Shadowhunters and causing trouble recently?
**Player**: Grancy, this is not the time...
**Grancy**: Kong! Answer me!
**Kong**: It's me!
**Player**: What?!
**Grancy**: I knew it was you...
**Kong**: ...
**Grancy**: Tell me, what happened?
**Grancy**: You must be in deep trouble...
**Kong**: Boss Grancy, Player...
**Kong**: Brother Bernard... he was captured by the Shadows trying to save me!!
**Grancy**: !!
**Player**: !!
*Continue to Trifle: Brothers*

**-Intimacy Level 12**

*BlackFlame City, meeting location...*
**Kong**: Why is Boss Grancy not here yet?
**Player**: Kong, be patient!
**Player**: Grancy has made an appointment with us, he will show up!
**Kong**: Well...
*After a while*
**Kong**: No! I have to go find him!
**Kong**: It has been several days! We can't delay our plan to rescue brother Bernard anymore!
**Player**: Kong! Calm down!
**Player**: The Shadow priest is very greedy, so Bernard is now relatively safe...
**Player**: If you act recklessly, you will just put Bernard in a dangerous situation!
**Kong**: ...
**Kong**: Sorry
*Some time later...*
**Grancy**: Sorry, I'm late!
**Kong**: Boss Grancy!
**Player**: Grancy, how many brigades can the Shadowhunters send out?
**Grancy**: ...
**Grancy**: The Shadowhunters high command...
**Grancy**: Refused to send any troops...
**Player**: Huh?
**Kong**: What?!
**Grancy**: The Shadowhunters will not send any troops...
**Kong**: No troops?
**Kong**: Why?
**Grancy**: The high command believes that it requires too many troops to rescue Captain Bernard...
**Grancy**: So, they want to give up on Captain Bernard.
**Player**: They want to abandon... Bernard?
**Kong**: What... What?
**Kong**: Are you serious?
**Kong**: That, that's Brother Bernard!!!
**Player**: Grancy, Bernard is a war hero...
**Player**: Without Bernard, the Ursus Altar would have fallen into Rita's hands long ago!
**Player**: Why is that?
**Grancy**: Captain Bernard has a lot of accomplishments on the battlefield. All Shadowhunters know that!
**Grancy**: But according to Kong's information, the Shadow's base is very large and they have experimental giant shadowbeast...
**Grancy**: No matter how many troops we send in, we'll suffer a great loss.
**Grancy**: Besides, the base has no high strategic value. It's not significant enough to carry out an attack on that base...
**Kong**: Not significant?
**Kong**: Brother Bernard has been fighting for the Shadowhunters for decades!
**Kong**: In the end... He's 'not significant enough' in your eyes?
**Player**: Grancy, did Bernard offend high command in the joint task force meeting in Never Isle earlier?
**Grancy**: ...
**Grancy**: ...
**Grancy**: Player, I have no comment!
**Player**: I see. I knew it...
**Player**: The high command is busy with internal politics while we are facing such a strong enemy...
**Grancy**: What Roderick and the high command have to consider is not something we can imagine!
**Grancy**: As soldiers, a lot of questions are beyond our considerations!!!
**Kong**: I don't know what the Shadowhunters' high command is thinking!
**Kong**: I just know, giving up on Bernard is such a stupid idea, isn't it?
**Grancy**: ...
**Kong**: Boss Grancy, you wouldn't obey such a stupid order, would you?
**Grancy**: ...
**Kong**: Grancy!!!
**Player**: !!
*Grancy sighs...*
**Grancy**: An order... is an order...
**Grancy**: I'm a soldier! So, I must obey orders...
**Grancy**: I believe if Captain Bernard was here, he would understand!
**Kong**: Well...
**Kong**: I never thought Boss Grancy would say something like that...
*Kong clenches his right fist...*
**Kong**: I will save Brother Bernard! No matter what the price is!
**Grancy**: ...
**Grancy**: You are not trying to get the 'Ka's Light Crystal' by force, are you?
**Player**: !!
**Grancy**: The artifact is kept in the vault on the third level underground of the Shadowhunter headquarters in Westhold!
**Grancy**: We would rather... destroy it than give it to you!
**Kong**: Haha... Luckily I've been discharged...
**Kong**: Listen, Grancy!
**Kong**: I am Master Kong! I will save my brother Bernard!
**Kong**: You Shadowhunter better stay out of my way!!
**Grancy**: ...
**Grancy**: We'll wait for you...
*Continue to Trifle: Tower*

**-Intimacy Level 13**

*After saving Bernard, outside of the Shadow's base...*
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Come on! Run! Everybody run!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: Hmmm... Haaa
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: Slow down... I'm old...
*An earth-shattering noise comes from behind them...*
*The entire Shadow base instantly collapses into a ruin...*
*Instead...*
*A giant red tower erects into the sky...*
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Kong... You...
**Bernard**: We... we should save him!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: Yes... He must be alive!
**Player**: Let's go!
*Near the ruin of the Shadow base*
*Grancy and the Shadowhunters forces are searching the debris...*
**Grancy**: What... what's going on?
**Bernard**: Commander Grancy?
**Grancy**: Captain Bernard? Player?
**Grancy**: What happened?
**Player**: Grancy, there's an emergency...
**Player**: Please help us find Kong first!
**Grancy**: Kong? Ok! Got it!
**Grancy**: All Shadowhunters, listen...
*A moment later, with the help of the Shadowhunters...*
*Finally, in the ruins near the tower, they find Kong, barely alive...*
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: He's still alive!
**Grancy**: Medic!!!
**Shadow's Medic**: Coming!
**Shadow's Medic**: He's badly injured, he needs immediate blood transfusion! Meanwhile, his body has been exposed to too much flux...
**Shadow's Medic**: He needs a Nexus with strong and stable flux to perform soothing therapy!
**Grancy**: Where is the nearest nexus?
**Bernard**: Earth Nexus!!
*After a while...*
*The Ursus Altar, outside the Earth Nexus...*
**Grancy**: How... how's Kong?
**Shadow's Medic**: We've done what we can...
**Shadow's Medic**: But Kong is too badly injured. I can't guarantee that he will survive...
**Shadow's Medic**: I'm sorry!
**Grancy**: Okay, I understand!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: Damn it!
**Player**: Armor Bear, you just had a blood transfusion. Stay calm!
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Kong will survive!
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: He has received blood from all of us!
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: Yes! The Hawk, Armor Bear, Player, Grancy, and many Shadowhunters have donated their blood!
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: He will survive!
**Grancy**: What happened? Can anyone tell me now?
**Player**: Actually...
*You told everything to Grancy...*
**Grancy**: He just can't be patient!
**Bernard**: But why, Lord Grancy...
**Grancy**: After I reported to the high command that Captain Bernard has been captured...
**Grancy**: Some people think that the rescue operation is too demanding and refused to rescue Captain Bernard...
**Grancy**: To prevent Kong from stealing the 'Crystal of Ka', they started guarding the artifact...
**Grancy**: Once the artifact is stolen, they are forced to send troops to retrieve it!
**Grancy**: The Shadowhunters army followed the artifact signal and found you...
**Player**: I see. So you've already planned this long ahead, Grancy!
**Grancy**: The Shadowhunter's mission is to eliminate the shadow!
**Grancy**: I'm just... Following the order of the Shadowhunters...
**Grancy**: However, I am still too late!
**Bernard**: Everything... Everything is my fault!
**Bernard**: I accept full responsibility!
**Grancy**: I have reported the situation here to the Shadowhunters' high command!
**Grancy**: Don't worry. Someone will take the responsibility...
**Grancy**: Captain Bernard, please don't worry.
**Grancy**: Please rest and get better. The Ursus Altar needs you!
**Bernard**: Okay! I understand...
**Player**: The Shadowhunters' internal politics sounds complicated...

**-Intimacy Level 14**

*One month later, Ursus Altar...*
**Kong**: Hmm...
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: !!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: He's awake! Kong's awake!
**Kong**: Dumb... Dumb Bear? Have you died as well?
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: You idiot!
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Hey Kong! Time to get up and do some work!
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: Hawk! Leave him alone! Let him rest!
**Bearman Guard**: Idiot! You really can sleep, can't you!
**Kong**: Huh? Idiot Hawk, Old Lizard, and Brother Bear?
**Kong**: I... I am alive!
**Kong**: Where am I?
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: This is the Ursus Altar, you've been sent here since you got injured!
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Using the flux from the artifact to enlarge your staff! It was suicidal...
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Only you would think of doing something like that!
**Kong**: I am the notorious Master Kong!
**Kong**: Hold on! Is my Crimson King still stuck there?
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: The Crimson King returned to its normal size as soon as it used up all the flux. It's over there!
*The Fire Lizard points at the Crimson King in the corner...*
*Bernard enters the room...*
**Bernard**: Kong! Kong!
**Kong**: Brother Bernard, this time... it wasn't my fault, was it?
**Bernard**: You idiot...
**Kong**: Haha!
*Scene - Outside Ursus Altar*
*Kong and his mercenary band are gathered together with Bernard, Player, and Grancy*
*The next day, Ursus Altar...*
**Player**: Kong! You're finally up!
**Grancy**: You moron, I was so worried!
**Kong**: Boss Grancy!
**Kong**: I heard from Brother Bernard, so you were also unwilling to sacrifice him in battle...
**Kong**: So you've been secretly helping us this whole time.
**Grancy**: I don't understand what you're talking about. But... It is the responsibility of the Shadowhunters to eliminate the Shadow.
**Kong**: I get it! The relationship within the senior command of the Shadowhunters is very complicated! You can't tell us! Right?
**Grancy**: ...
**Kong**: But I didn't expect Boss Grancy to come to see me personally...
**Kong**: So I am quite well respected after all.
**Grancy**: Yeah...
**Grancy**: You are, after all, the 'Notorious Master Kong.'
**Kong**: Hehe!
**Kong**: But, Boss Grancy... Crystal of Kai...
**Kong**: Got destroyed, don't get angry!
**Grancy**: I know, although it's a bit of a pity, but it is much better than falling into the hands of the Shadow!
**Grancy**: Besides, I came to tell you...
**Grancy**: My previous proposal is still valid!
**Kong**: You mean... I can join the special forces of the Shadowhunters?
**Grancy**: Well, after all, everyone in Luxium has seen your Crimson King...
**Grancy**: The Shadowhunters is no exception. They want to recruit you.
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Hey! Are you trying to steal our man?
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Kong... belongs with us!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: Hawk, leave it alone! After all, it is Kong's dream to become a Shadowhunter!
**Grancy**: Of course, this is up to you, I am just following Shadowhunter's orders by telling you.
**Kong**: ...
*Kong looks towards Bernard and then the others*
**Bernard**: Kong, don't worry, no matter what you choose, I'll support you!
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: You think about it! We will always support you!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: Yeah! No pressure!
**Player**: ...
*Player smiles, confident Kong will make the right decision*
**Kong**: You guys... You can't even make a tiny decision for me...
**Kong**: Well... Okay!
**Kong**: Sorry, Boss Grancy!
**Kong**: I have to refuse the invitation of the Shadowhunters.
**Kong**: Following orders doesn't suit me!
*Kong stands next to his mercenary band*
**Kong**: Besides, these guys, I can't leave them!
**Grancy**: I see. I'll report this to the Shadowhunters high command.
**Kong**: But Boss Grancy, if you ever need my help...
**Kong**: We'll be there right away! Free of charge!
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Huh? No... No charge?
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: Hawk, shut up!
**Grancy**: On behalf of the Shadowhunters, I thank you for your generosity and selflessness!
**Grancy**: At the same time, if you ever need help, please come to us Shadowhunters!
**Kong**: Sure!
*Scene - Ursus Altar*
*Kong and Player talk alone*
*A while later...*
**Kong**: Ah... It seems that everything has been settled!
**Player**: Yes! And, finally, you've made your own choice!
**Kong**: Hey!
**Kong**: Thanks to you, Player!
**Player**: Haha, this has nothing to do with me... You recruited your mercenary brothers yourself!
**Kong**: But really, it was all thanks to you...
**Kong**: For if you hadn't dug me out of the ruins, and carried me to the altar...
**Kong**: I would have been dead!
**Player**: Speaking of this... I knew you had no escape plan from the beginning, and you kept it from us!
**Player**: Such a haphazard plan, only you can carry it out!
**Kong**: Hehe! I am the Notorious Master Kong after all!
**Kong**: Although I had expected to die...
**Kong**: But now I think about it, it's better to live!
**Kong**: I must stay alive, so I can hang out with brother Bernard, my mercenary brothers, and you, Player.
**Kong**: This is when I get rid of the curse of the son of rock, and really become the notorious Master Kong!
*Hawk Eye, Fire Lizard and Armor Bear walk up*
**Kong**: Hey! Everybody!
**Kong**: Get ready. We have to go back to BlackFlame City!
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Ah... Going back to work already!
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: You can rest for a few more days Kong!
**Kong**: Our mercenary band has just gained a bit of fame. This is not the time to be lazy!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: We haven't taken any jobs for a month, my hands are getting itchy!
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: Hehe, time to move my old bones!
**Kong**: Let's go! Brothers!
**Kong**: This time! Let all of Luxium know the name of our mercenary band!!
**Mercenary Band**: Roar!!!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: Wait a minute!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: It's a few hundred kilometers from the Altar of Ursus to BlackFlame City!
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: Huh? So far away... If we go back... My old bones...
**Kong**: Er...
**Kong**: Hey, hey... Player
**Kong**: Please, give us a ride.
**Player**: Haha! I'm glad to be of service, Master Kong!

### Dates

**This section contains spoilers for Date scenes.**

**Weapon**

**-Intro**

**Kong**: Player, got a second?
**Kong**: I am in Never Isle, let's hang out sometimes.
**Player**: (Accept)
*Scene - Near Sig's stall*
**Kong**: Player!
**Player**: Kong, it's been a while!
**Player**: How've you been
**Kong**: Free as a bird, do as I like, as usual!
**Player**: That's awesome!
**Player**: How did you make time to come to Never Isle today?
**Kong**: Hehe, I came to look for Master Sig today...
**Kong**: But it turns out he's not here, so I've got some free time, thought I'd give you a call!
**Player**: You... looking for Sig?
**Player**: Oh? Is you big stick broken?
**Kong**: No!
**Kong**: How can the great Kong's big stick break?
**Kong**: No, I came to ask Master Sig to teach me smithing!
**Player**: Huh? Kong! You! Smithing?
**Kong**: Yeah, smithing, hey! Why do you sound so surprised?
**Player**: Well... it's just that, Kong... the thought of you sitting there beating iron...
**Player**: I just... can't imagine it...
**Kong**: Player, you can't judge a book by its cover!
**Kong**: Not only can I smith...
**Kong**: I am also a weapon collector!
**Player**: Weapon collector?
**Kong**: When I was in the Shadowhunters, I managed to forge a copy of everyone's weapons!
**Player**: Why did you do that?
**Kong**: That's the key to my special technique, the thousand blade staff!
**Kong**: I unleash all those weapons I forged at the enemy at the same time...
**Kong**: How's that, it's cool isn't it!
**Player**: That's a creative idea...
**Kong**: The most important thing is, I forged everybody's weapons...
**Kong**: So, when I fight, it feels like I am fighting along side everybody again!
**Player**: Oh I see...
**Kong**: Player, do you have your weapon with you?
**Player**: Yeah, here it is!
**Kong**: Oh, So it's this thing you carry around with you...
**Kong**: Hmmm... it looks kind of ordinary...
**Player**: Eh...
**Player**: Then give it back!
**Kong**: Hold on!
**Kong**: I see...
**Kong**: Haha! Extraordinary!
**Kong**: Okay, I've got the information I wanted!
**Player**: What... did you find out?
**Kong**: Well, although on the outside, your weapon looks ordinary...
**Kong**: Its internal structures are actually quite intricate!
**Player**: Really?
**Kong**: Yeah! Your weapon is very efficient at channeling flux, it is quite rare!
**Kong**: I can forge a copy of your weapon in two days!
**Kong**: That way, we can fight side by side all the time!
**Player**: ...
*Player smiles*
**Kong**: Player, do you know anyone with an interesting weapon on Never Isle?
**Kong**: Since Master Sig isn't back yet, you can show me around!
**Player**: Someone with an interesting weapon...

**-Rupor! - 500 Intimacy**

**Kong**: Rupor... from the Rupor Show?
**Player**: Yeah!
**Player**: Rupor uses a microphone as a weapon!
**Kong**: Microphone?
**Kong**: Does he hit people on the head with it?
**Player**: Uh... not quite...
**Kong**: I can't imagine how a microphone can be a weapon other than bashing people with it...
**Player**: Rupor isn't that kind of warrior...
**Player**: He targets people's hearts, his voice is his weapon!
**Kong**: I see...
**Kong**: But, my Thousand Blades Staff is a physical attack...
**Kong**: A microphone... in my technique...
**Kong**: Won't be very useful.
**Player**: Huh?
**Kong**: Think about it, blades can slash and pierce enemies, hammers can bash enemies...
**Kong**: But a microphone...
**Player**: Oh... right...
**Kong**: But it is very impressive!
**Kong**: I learned something today!

**-Master Lan! - 700 Intimacy**

**Player**: Master Lan's sword, the Sky Breaker, it can slice through metal like butter!
**Kong**: Wow! Wow! Wow!!
**Kong**: If I can copy such an awesome weapon...
**Kong**: Then...
**Kong**: Uh...
**Player**: What's wrong? What's with that expression?
**Kong**: Player... I like forging weapons...
**Kong**: But... I can only make forgeries...
**Kong**: I am... not capable of recreating the weapon's power.
**Player**: So, the Sky Breaker...
**Kong**: Would just become an ordinary blade...
**Kong**: Although, the more weapons I forge, the better I'll get!
**Kong**: Eventually, I will become a great blacksmith just like Master Sig!
**Kong**: No! In the future, I will become...
**Kong**: An even better blacksmith than Master Sig!!!

**-Yaen! - 900 Intimacy**

**Player**: When it comes to interesting weapons, none can beat Yaen's!
**Kong**: Oh?
**Player**: Yeah, she uses a spittoon as a weapon!
**Kong**: A spit... spittoon?
**Kong**: Hahahahaha!
**Kong**: Really?
**Kong**: If I add a giant spittoon to my technique...
**Kong**: Its damage output will be multiplied!!!
**Player**: Hey! Quiet...
**Player**: If Yaen hears me calling her Grandpa Beard a spittoon...
**Player**: She'll turn me into a dog!
**Kong**: Turn you into a dog?
**Kong**: Puhahahaha!
**Kong**: That's hilarious!
**Kong**: The infamous Player, who's not even afraid of the Shadow, is scared of this Yaen...
**Kong**: Let's go! I want to meet her now!

**Big Trouble**

**-Intro**

**Kong**: Player, where are you?
**Kong**: This is urgent...
**Player**: I am at the Hottie Bar.
*Scene - Hottie Bar*
**Kong**: Ah...
**Kong**: Player, so this is where you are...
**Player**: What's wrong Kong?
**Kong**: My big stick is broken...
**Player**: You mean... your Crimson King... is broken?
**Kong**: Yes...
**Player**: But it looks fine, isn't it sitting on your shoulder?
**Kong**: It looks fine...
**Kong**: It is supposed to be able to shrink or expand according to my will...
**Kong**: But now...
**Kong**: Expand! Expand! Expand!
*Crimson King remains the same no matter how hard Kong screams...*
**Kong**: See...
**Player**: I see...
**Kong**: It's been like this since this morning...
**Kong**: I've been running all over BlackFlame City, I still couldn't find anyone capable of fixing it...
**Player**: No one in the whole of BlackFlame City?
**Player**: BlackFlame City is full of conflicts and violence and with all the mercenaries there...
**Player**: There should be a lot of skilled technicians...
**Player**: Kong, have you tried taking it back to its creator?
**Kong**: Creator?
**Kong**: ...
**Player**: Oh... was it made by the Shadowhunters...
**Player**: Hold on, but a weapon that can shrink and enlarge at will like the Crimson King...
**Player**: It's pretty rare... or should I say, I have never heard of any other!
**Player**: So it's probably not a Shadowhunter weapon, right?
**Kong**: If only it was made by the Shadowhunters, that'd be simple...
**Kong**: My Big Stick was given to me by a traveler when I was wandering in the Northern Desert...
**Player**: A Traveler?
**Kong**: He was dying of thirst at the time, I helped him...
**Kong**: He said he had no money, so he gave me his latest experimental creation...
**Kong**: The Crimson King, capable of changing its size using flux.
**Kong**: It'd been working fine for so many years.
**Kong**: The traveler's called Jack... or something... I'm not sure...
**Kong**: Anyway, I have never seen him again since.
**Player**: Hmm... So, we have no way of finding the Crimson King's creator...
**Kong**: Alas...
**Kong**: So I have no choice but to rely on your extensive network!
**Player**: Hmm, changes its size by consuming flux?
**Player**: So the Crimson King isn't just a weapon, it's also an arcana artifact...

**-Go see Vundo! - 700 Intimacy**

**Player**: If its flux reception is faulty...
**Player**: Then it must be an arcana problem!
**Player**: When it comes to arcana, Principal Vundo is the man to call!
**Kong**: Oh!
**Kong**: Please Player! Take me to see him, please!
**Player**: Got it!
*A few moments later...*
*Principal Vundo found the source of the problem with the Crimson King...*
*But because the problem is in the connection between the flux and the mechanical device...*
*Principal Vundo has no idea how to fix the issue...*
**Player**: So... the problem is with the connection between flux and the mechanical parts...
**Kong**: Is my big stick going to be broken forever?

**-Go see Turing! - 900 Intimacy**

**Player**: An expert of both mechanics and arcana, that's Turing!
**Kong**: An expert of both mechanics and arcana!
**Kong**: Please Player! Take me to see him, please!
**Player**: Got it!
*A while later...*
*After inspection by Turing...*
*He discovers the problem is with the connection between flux and the mechanical parts...*
*Turing fixes the Crimson King in no time!*
**Kong**: Awesome!
**Kong**: My big stick is back!
**Kong**: Your friend is awesome, Player!
**Player**: Turing is happy to see your Crimson King too!
**Player**: He said the Crimson King is the perfect combination of mechanics and arcana...
**Player**: It's a treasure!
**Player**: You should take good care of it!
**Kong**: Don't worry! I will never let it leave my sight!
**Player**: That's a bit over the top...

**-Go see Sig! - 500 Intimacy**

**Kong**: I know Master Sig...
**Kong**: He is indeed an expert blacksmith...
**Kong**: But I've seen all the blacksmiths in BlackFlame City and none of them had any idea how to fix it...
**Kong**: So, could Master Sig really fix my big stick?
**Player**: Don't worry! When it comes to weapons, Sig can fix anything!
*A while later...*
*Sig inspects the weapon for a long time...*
*But still couldn't find anything wrong with the Crimson King...*
*There's nothing you can do, you return empty handed...*
**Player**: Even... Master Sig has no idea...
**Kong**: Is... my big stick broken for good?

**Freedom**

**-Intro**

**Player**: It's been a while since you last see Kong...
**Player**: I wonder how he's been, living in BlackFlame City...
**Player**: (Go see Kong!)
*Scene - BlackFlame City, Antonio's bar, The Bull*
*BlackFlame City...*
**Player**: Kong! There you are!
**Kong**: Player! What are you doing here?
**Player**: It's been a while...
**Player**: So I wanted to come see how you are!
**Kong**: See...how I am?
**Kong**: Oh, uh...
**Kong**: Well... as usual...
**Kong**: Living it up...
**Kong**: Free as a bird...
**Player**: Kong... really...
**Player**: You're a terrible liar, you know that...
**Kong**: Huh? Is it that obvious?
**Kong**: Uh... no...
**Kong**: Who says I'm lying? I'm not lying...
**Player**: ...
**Kong**: Alright...
**Kong**: Honestly, there's no way I can trick you is there, Player...
**Player**: Why do you have to lie to me?
**Player**: Come on, what happened?
**Kong**: Not much...
**Kong**: BlackFlame City is very liberal, if you've got skills, you've got work...
**Kong**: It's very suitable for me...
**Player**: That's great, isn't it?
**Kong**: It's true there's a lot of work...
**Kong**: But, a lot of the jobs, isn't just about skills...
**Player**: Isn't about skills?
**Kong**: I've been a mercenary since the day I arrived in BlackFlame City...
**Kong**: At first, I just show up at the council every day to pick up jobs fighting Shadows...
**Kong**: But just yesterday, I found that there is another place to pick up work in the council!
**Kong**: They're all big jobs there!
**Kong**: But they only give those big jobs to mercenary bands!
**Kong**: What a pain!
**Player**: Well, you can set up a mercenary band yourself...
**Kong**: I tried. Yesterday I sent out a notice to recruit mercenaries.
**Kong**: But only one person has contacted me so far.
**Kong**: He's fit, but he doesn't seem very bright...
**Player**: Well, you shouldn't be too choosy right now!
**Kong**: I'm not choosy... but the council stipulates that mercenary bands should have at least four members...
**Player**: Oh, I see, so there are not enough people...
**Kong**: Ah... I mean, this is a pain in the neck, isn't it...
**Kong**: I can't go to the streets and force people to join, can I...
**Kong**: How can I get people to join my mercenary band?
**Player**: Well...

**-Try joining other mercenary bands? - 500 Intimacy**

**Kong**: Join others?
**Kong**: No, no!
**Player**: Why are you so against the idea?
**Kong**: Because other mercenary bands are full of weirdos!
**Kong**: And most of them are greedy parasites...
**Kong**: I don't want to join them!
**Player**: Okay... okay...
**Player**: Well, you are someone who's been in the Shadowhunters...
**Player**: It makes sense that you don't have much respect for ordinary mercenary bands.
**Kong**: ...
**Kong**: Oh yeah!
**Kong**: Now that you're here, you can hand out leaflets for me!
**Player**: Eh?
**Kong**: Please! Maybe someone will join because of your good looks!
**Player**: Haha, I'll take that as a compliment!
**Kong**: It is a compliment. Let's go hand out leaflets!

**-Keep your feet on the ground, take your time! - 700 Intimacy**

**Player**: There is no shortcut for this kind of thing...
**Player**: After all, you just came to BlackFlame City.
**Kong**: I know...
**Kong**: But seeing all those big jobs and not be able to get them...
**Kong**: It's so frustrating!
**Player**: It's impossible for everyone in BlackFlame City to have a mercenary band.
**Player**: Can't you get any good jobs working alone?
**Kong**: Well...
**Kong**: There's a guy in the council called 'Colonel Duran'. He works alone...
**Kong**: A lot of very big jobs go to him directly. We don't even get to have a peek...
**Player**: That strong?
**Kong**: They say he's very powerful! I haven't really met him either!
**Kong**: Argh! That makes me so angry! Why?
**Kong**: I'm no worse than him!
**Kong**: If I see him, I am going to have a match with him!!
**Player**: In that case...
**Player**: You just have to get as famous as Colonel Duran!
**Kong**: Huh? Like that guy?
**Kong**: I am Master Kong, I don't want to be like him!
**Kong**: I want to set up my own mercenary band!!!
**Player**: Hey... Don't be so stubborn!
**Kong**: No matter what, I want to set up my own mercenary band!!!!

**-Make it public and let people know you! - 900 Intimacy**

**Kong**: Let people know about me?
**Player**: Yeah! If people notice you, there will naturally be people who agree with you and want to join you!
**Kong**: Oh... I see...
**Kong**: Player, what should I do?
**Player**: You know perfectly well, Kong, what you should do!
**Kong**: Eh?
**Player**: Don't forget, when you were with the Shadowhunters, you were the star among the recruits!
**Kong**: Star?
**Player**: We're at the Bull, one of the most famous bars in BlackFlame City.
**Player**: What do you think we should do, Kong?
**Kong**: Well...
**Kong**: Do you mean?
**Player**: It's a free city...
**Kong**: Haha, not bad... that's exactly something I would do!
**Kong**: In that case... Let everyone in BlackFlame City get to know me, Master Kong!
**Player**: ...
*Player smiles*
*Kong stepped onto the stage and snatched the singer's microphone...*
**Kong**: Hey! I'm Master Kong!
**Kong**: I'm going to form a mercenary band in BlackFlame... No
**Kong**: The strongest mercenary band in Luxium!
**Kong**: If you have what it takes, then come join me!!!
*Everyone in the bar is focused on Kong...*
**Kong**: Hey!
**Player**: ...
*Player smiles*
*Meanwhile... somewhere in the bar...*
**Mercenary "Fire Lizard"**: Ooh! It's nice to be young...
**Mercenary "Fire Lizard"**: Master Kong, is it? Interesting...

**Tricky Man**

"The absolute execution of orders, is the foundation of victory!" ---Shadowhunter Recruits Code

**-Part 1**

*Ursus Altar...*
*Player meets up with Bernard and his bearmen*
**Player**: Brother Bernard!
**Bernard**: Brother Player! You are just in time!
**Bernard**: The Shadowhunters need your assistance in our mission today. Sorry if we've caused you inconvenience!
**Player**: No, it's fine. How can I help you?
**Bernard**: We found a pretty big Shadow base about 50 kilometers north from the nexus.
**Bernard**: We suspect it was built within the last 2 weeks...
**Bernard**: According to its location and size, the Shadows might be planning another round of attacks on the nexus.
**Bernard**: This base might be the beachhead for the Shadows when they attack the nexus.
**Bernard**: We must destroy it before the Shadows are prepared!!
**Bernard**: This came up urgently, and the Shadowhunters nearby don't have airships ready!
**Bernard**: So I thought we'd come and ask for your help...
**Player**: But there are no cannons on my airship.
**Bernard**: I know, this isn't a bombardment mission...
**Player**: Oh, then, what do you need me to do?
**Bernard**: According to our scout reports, there are quite a lot of enemies inside the Shadow Base...
**Bernard**: Although they only have basic units like swordsmen and mages, they still pose a major threat because of their large numbers.
**Bernard**: Meanwhile, half of our troops need to stay behind to defend the altar in case of a surprise attack.
**Bernard**: This is why the Ursus Altar Guards will be fighting alongside our brother troops!
**Bernard**: I will lead the Ursus Altar Warriors to attack the enemy head on and attract their firepower...
**Bernard**: While Player, you will be responsible for transporting our brother troops to ambush the enemy from behind!
**Player**: Brother troops
**Player**: You mean Hachi's Bloodrunners?
**Bernard**: Haha, Brother Hachi did want to come, but he was too far from the altar to get here...
**Bernard**: It's Master Grancy's Shadowhunter brothers who will be joining us today!
**Player**: Grancy?
**Player**: This is the first time I hear about him leading troops!
**Bernard**: Master Grancy's Shadowhunter troops will defend the Dragon Mountain and the Westhold...
**Bernard**: He'd come right after they finish the mission in South Luxium.
**Bernard**: Don't underestimate him. He must be one of the strongest Shadowhunters given he can run for Roderick.
**Bear Warrior A**: Master Grancy's unit, that's the unit that guy's in!
**Bear Warrior B**: Ahhhh, is that guy coming as well?
**Player**: That... guy?
**Bernard**: He's a brother of mine. He was training at the Ursus Altar before...
**Bernard**: If he's coming, haha, we'll definitely win this battle!!
*Some time later...*
**Player**: It's almost assembly time. How come...
**???**: WA HA HA HA HA!!
**Bear Warrior A**: This voice. It's that guy!
**Bear Warrior B**: Yes. I can never forget his voice...
**Player**: !!!
**???**: The super duper mighty 'Son of Rock'!
**???**: The up-and-coming legendary Shadowhunter hero! Lord Kong is here!
*Kong runs up to Bernard*
**Kong**: Bro! I haven't seen you for ages!
**Bernard**: Haha! Yes! You are still such a drama queen!
**Bernard**: And you look fit!
**Kong**: Hehehe! Of course! I am Master Kong!
**Kong**: Hey, bearmen brothers! It's been a while! Do you miss me?
**Bear Warrior A**: Not really. Who's going to miss you...
**Bear Warrior B**: Exactly. After you left, it's been so peaceful!
**Kong**: Hey hey... don't be cruel...
**Bernard**: Alright!
**Bernard**: Player, this is Kong!
**Bernard**: When he was in the reserves, I trained him personally. I used to be his officer.
**Player**: No wonder you guys are so close.
**Bernard**: Kong, this is Player, from Never Isle...
**Kong**: Wooow!! You are the infamous Player!
**Kong**: Wowww, you are the real thing, cool!!
*Kong looks at you from head to toe...*
**Player**: Ughh... I feel like a zoo animal...
**Kong**: Oh!
**Kong**: Sorry! Sorry!
**Kong**: I've heard your name many times, Player! I'm so excited to finally see you today!
**Kong**: But... you don't seem very muscular...
**Player**: Not... muscular?
**Kong**: You...
**Kong**: Won't be able to beat me!
**Player**: Uh...
**Bernard**: Kong, don't underestimate Player! He is...
**Kong**: Hehe! Player, let's have a spar!
**Player**: What? Why would I spar with you?
**Kong**: That's how new friends get to know each other...
**Grancy**: Kong! Behave!
*Grancy and his Shadowhunters approach the group*
**Grancy**: You left your unit without approval! And now you are harassing Player! Go get your punishment at the discipline unit when we get back!
**Kong**: Hey! It was you guys who walked too slow in the forest!
**Kong**: Plus, I am not harassing Player, we are just...
**Grancy**: Nonsense! Extra punishment!
**Kong**: Player, tell them now... did I harass you?
**Player**: Uh...
*Choice 1.1 - Didn't you?*
**Player**: You even wanted to fight me for no reason...
**Kong**: What?!!
**Kong**: So... you thought I was harassing you...
**Kong**: I... am sorry... Player...
**Kong**: I thought... it was normal for people to get to know each other by fighting... I was just trying to understand...
**Grancy**: Enough! Return to your position now!
*Kong goes back to stand with Grancy's Shadowhunters*
**Kong**: ...
**Grancy's Soldier A**: Sigh... when will this guy ever learn his lesson...
**Grancy's Soldier B**: Yes, who would like the way he chats up...
*Choice 1.2 - No, Grancy, that's a bit of an overstatement...*
**Player**: We were just greeting each other.
**Kong**: Yes! Yes! See, Player agrees too!
**Kong**: Boss Grancy, you've got me wrong!
**Grancy**: Hm... no more nonsense!
**Grancy**: Return to your position now!
**Kong**: Boss, I have been looking forward to coming back to the Ursus Altar...
**Kong**: Just let me join Brother Bernard's mission this time, please!
**Bernard**: Kong! Attention!
**Player**: !!
*Instantly, Kong stands up straight...*
**Bernard**: Return to your position!
**Kong**: Yes, sir!
*Kong goes back to stand with Grancy's Shadowhunters*
**Bear Warrior A**: Haha, our captain knows how to deal with that guy.
**Bear Warrior B**: Right, Kong suffered a lot back then.
**Bernard**: Commander Grancy, sorry I yelled at your people...
**Grancy**: It's okay, Captain. You have my permission to do that.
**Kong**: ...
*Scene continues after choices*
*Grancy and Bernard go through the action plan again...*
*Basically, it's the same as what Bernard just said...*
*Bernard's Shadowhunter troops will attack the Shadows head on by land...*
*While Grancy's Shadowhunter troops ambush the enemy from behind from an airship!*
**Grancy**: That's the plan. Although there are a lot of enemies, but they are just regular units...
**Grancy**: Let's delay no more. Come on!!!
**Shadowhunters**: Yes!
*Scene - Forest near Ursus Altar*
*Some time later...*
*Two kilometers from the Shadow base...*
**Kong**: Boss! Let's destroy them in one go!
**Player**: Kong, we are the ambush unit, we are not front line troops...
**Kong**: Oh! So, boss you must have a great plan, don't you?
*Grancy ignores Kong...*
**Grancy's Soldier A**: Sir, that area not far ahead is under the Shadow's surveillance.
**Grancy**: Good. What is Captain Bernard's location?
**Grancy's Soldier B**: They've just passed the third-way point 20 minutes ago according to the plan!
**Kong**: Brother Bernard is so slow...
**Grancy**: Okay! It'll take Captain Bernard's troops some time to reach the designated point.
**Grancy**: Let's deploy our ambush plan now...
**Kong**: Great! Boss Grancy, put me in the front line!
**Grancy**: As soon as the combat begins, you take a team of warriors to eliminate the Shadow's scouts...
**Grancy's Soldier A**: Yes, sir!
**Grancy**: Then, you and Player take the rest of the fighters to join the advance detachment and wreck havoc...
**Grancy**: The more chaotic, the better!
**Grancy**: Lastly, you join Captain Bernard and destroy the enemies!
**Player**: Got it!
**Grancy's Soldier B**: Understood!
**Kong**: Wow! Cool!
**Kong**: Boss! What about us? What are we going to do?
**Kong**: Must be the most important mission right?
**Grancy**: You and I will stay and guard this location!
**Kong**: Guard... here? Why?
**Grancy**: We will kill the enemy's deserters...
**Grancy**: In case our enemy calls for backup, we are responsible for intercepting their reinforcement!
**Kong**: Huh?
**Kong**: That's not cool at all! I want to be in the front line!!
**Player**: Kong, rear defense is an extremely important job!
**Grancy's Soldier A**: Right. Although I don't really want to rely on a rock monkey for rear defense...
**Grancy's Soldier A**: But if that's the commander's order, we'll count on you then!
**Kong**: Huh... but...
**Grancy's Soldier B**: Is this guy's skull filled with rocks?
**Grancy's Soldier B**: Only with you and the commander defending the rear can our brothers in the front line kill the enemies without worry!
**Grancy**: No more complaints! It's because you are strong that I ask you to defend the rear with me...
**Grancy**: You are so strong that I believe with just the two of us, we are already able to intercept the enemy's reinforcement!!
**Kong**: Hehe!! Cool! Leave the rear defense to me then!
**Kong**: You guys better kill more Shadows!
**Grancy's Soldier A**: Don't worry about it!
**Grancy**: Okay! Action in 2 hours!
**Shadowhunters**: Yes, sir!
*15 minutes later...*
*Everyone stands in position while Kong fidgets around*
**Kong**: We are about to take action!
**Kong**: (In a joyful tone)
**Grancy**: Kong! Quiet!
*Another 15 minutes later...*
*Kong continues fidgeting around*
**Kong**: ...
**Kong**: ...
**Kong**: Hey, we should make a move now!
**Player**: There's still one and a half hours to go...
**Kong**: Um...
**Grancy**: ...
*Another 15 minutes later...*
**Kong**: Hey...
**Kong**: Hey! Player.
*Kong motions Player to talk privately near a tree*
**Player**: Oh? Are you talking to me?
**Kong**: Shhhh (Whispers) Keep your voice low. Shall we go and scout out the enemies?
**Player**: (Whispers) But Grancy didn't...
**Kong**: (Whispers) Let's just sneak out quietly. Boss won't find out...
**Player**: (Whispers) Uhhh... How can he not realize two men are missing...
**Kong**: (Whispers) Trust me, it'll be fine...
*Grancy and a couple of Shadowhunters check on Kong*
**Grancy**: Are you going on patrol?
**Kong**: Oh no... they saw me already...
**Grancy**: Go ahead! As long as Player is with you...
**Kong**: Boss, you are the best!
**Grancy**: As long as you take your orders from Player!
**Kong**: Sure!
**Player**: I'm okay if Grancy is fine with it!
**Kong**: Let's go!
*Kong and Player leave*
**Grancy's Soldier A**: Sir, is it really fine to let Kong out?
**Grancy**: It should be okay with Player with him.
**Grancy**: Kong would probably cause trouble if I force him to stay...
**Grancy's Soldier B**: Haha, yes, after he is...
**Grancy**: ...
*Scene - Elsewhere in the forest*
**Kong**: Phew! It's so boring to stay still!
**Kong**: Finally, I can stretch my legs.
**Player**: Don't forget...
**Kong**: We are the ambush unit. We must not expose ourselves!
**Kong**: Of course I know.
**Player**: Good.
**Kong**: That hill looks like a good location...
**Kong**: Let's go check it out!
**Player**: Okay!
**Kong**: !!
**Kong**: Hold on!
**Player**: What happened?
**Kong**: Player, quiet. I think I heard something...
**Player**: But... I didn't...
**Kong**: Over here!
*Kong runs ahead without waiting for Player*
**Player**: Kong!
**Player**: Hey, can't believe he just ran away on his own!
*Player follows Kong to an outcrop overlooking the Shadow's base*
**Kong**: Hm! What... is that?
**Player**: !!
*In the base, a Shadow Hierophant controls a large summoning array that calls forth large Shadowbeasts*
**Shadow Hierophant**: These experimental beasts will be our vanguard!!
**Shadowcult Messengers**: Wow!
**Shadowcult Soldier A**: These Shadowbeasts are massive!
**Shadowcult Soldier A**: With them, we will be invincible!
**Shadowcult Messenger B**: Haha, those Ursus bearmen will never see this coming!
**Shadowcult Messenger B**: Lord Hierophant, you are brilliant!
**Shadow Hierophant**: The Ursus Altar Shadowhunters have defeated Madam Rita before. We should not underestimate them!
**Shadow Hierophant**: These giant shadowbeasts are still under experiment. We need to test their combat capacity...
**Shadowcult Messenger B**: Test with... The Ursus Altar?
**Shadow Hierophant**: We won't be able to get an effective test result if the target is too weak!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Although I don't like destroying lives, after all, they'll be more valuable to us alive...
**Shadow Hierophant**: But using the alter guards as test objects of the shadowbeasts is such a brilliant idea...
**Shadow Hierophant**: I believe the bearmen will provide us with the perfect test results.
**Shadowcult Messenger**: Sir! The scouts discovered that the Ursus Altar bearmen are gathering six kilometers from the base!!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Perfect! That saved us from going to look for them!
**Shadow Hierophant**: And a giant shadowbeast has been delivered...
**Shadow Hierophant**: In 30 minutes, gather all the experimental shadowbeasts and destroy the bearmen!
**Shadowcult Messengers**: Yes, sir!
**Kong**: Hey hey... those giants are not part of our plan!
**Player**: Who would've expected the Shadows to prepare something like these...
**Kong**: Player! We have to destroy the giant Shadowbeasts!
**Player**: W...What? Just the two of us?
**Kong**: We don't have enough time! Those massive guys are going to wipe out Brother Bernard's troops!
**Player**: Hm...
**Player**: No, we can't!
**Player**: First of all, we are talking about the entire Shadow base. Not to mention they have a few giant shadowbeasts helping them...
**Player**: We will get killed if we just go by ourselves!
**Player**: Secondly, we are here to gather intelligence. We should report this to Grancy rather than act on our own!
**Player**: There are still 30 minutes before they take action. We still have time...
**Kong**: Okay! Let's report to Boss Grancy first!
*Kong runs ahead again*
**Player**: So fast! Hey, wait for me...
*A few moments later...*
*Player catches up with Kong and Grancy*
**Player**: Wah... Kong... You ran too fast...
**Kong**: Sorry, we are running out of time...
**Kong**: Boss Grancy, so that's what happened...
**Kong**: Who cares about the plan! I've got to kill all those monsters!
**Grancy**: Well...
**Grancy**: I'm well noted with the situation.
**Grancy**: However, we'll stick to our plan...
**Kong**: What?
**Kong**: But... Boss! Those monsters...
**Grancy**: I know!
**Grancy**: I know what Captain Bernard's capable of. His troops will not be destroyed by just a few monsters!
**Grancy**: Trust Bernard. He's your previous officer!
**Kong**: But...
**Grancy**: If you really want to help Bernard, then stick to our deployment plan!
**Grancy**: As long as the battle is successful, we'll be able to fight alongside Captain Bernard in destroying those beasts together.
**Grancy**: Plus, we only have a small team here. Exposing ourselves will be like suicide!
**Grancy**: I need to be responsible for my soldiers!
**Kong**: ...
**Kong**: ...
**Kong**: I see... you mean, as long as it doesn't affect our team?
**Grancy**: What are you trying to do?
**Kong**: Hehe! I am going to kill them all by myself!
**Player**: What?
**Grancy**: Kong! What are you thinking? You are part of a team!
**Kong**: I will confront the Shadow head on! The boss and Brother Bernard's team will be responsible for the ambush! Done!
**Grancy**: Hey! That's total nonsense!!
*Kong runs back towards the Shadow's base*
**Player**: !!
**Grancy**: !!
*Player turns to follow*
**Grancy**: Player, what are you doing?
**Player**: I can't let Kong die!
**Grancy**: Well... please take care of Kong for now!
**Grancy**: I will gather my team and follow you!
**Player**: Got it!
*Player leaves*
**Grancy**: Everyone gather immediately! There's a change of plan!!!
*A few moments later...*
*Player arrives at the Shadow's base and sees fallen Shadow everywhere*
**Player**: Looks like Kong is already in!
**Kong**: Ha! Shadow! Watch my staff!!
*Deafening roars come from the depths of the Shadow base...*
**Shadow Beast**: Roar!!!
**Player**: Oh no! Kong is already fighting with the giant shadowbeasts!
**Player**: I have to help him!!
*Player goes further in the base and sees Kong confronting the Shadow Hierophant and his giant Shadowbeasts*
**Kong**: Humph! You are stronger than I thought!
**Shadow Hierophant**: How dare you come into my territory alone!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Pay for the damage you caused with your life!!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Charge! My giant shadowbeasts!
**Shadow Beast**: Roarrrr!!!
**Kong**: Come on! I'll kill all of you by myself!
**Player**: Kong!
**Kong**: Player, what are you doing here?
**Player**: I'm here to help you!
**Player**: How can I let you fight all these Shadows by yourselves!
**Kong**: Haha, great! Let's kill them all together!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Humph! Such a clown...
**Shadow Beast**: Roarrrr!!
*Kong and Player fight the Shadow*
**Shadow Hierophant**: Look, this is the latest creation granted to us by the great Shadowlord!
*The fight continues*
**Kong**: Tsk... this guy doesn't react to my strikes at all!
**Shadow Beast**: Arwoooo...
**Shadow Hierophant**: !!
**Player**: Hold on, that beast doesn't look right!
*The fight continues*
**Kong**: I see... the beast is not as strong as it appears!
**Kong**: Player! Hang in there, the big guy is going to bite the bullet very soon!
**Player**: Okay!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Oh no... How come...
*Kong and Player win the fight*
**Kong**: Hey... big guy! You are even more useless than you look!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Hmm, the experiment needs adjustment...
**Kong**: Hey! Old guy! I haven't had enough!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Hm... you... how dare you...
**Shadow Hierophant**: I won't forget this...
**Shadow Hierophant**: Wait for me! I swear that I will have my revenge!!!
**Player**: Give up! It's all over for you now!
*The Shadow Hierophant teleports away*
**Kong**: Hey!
**Kong**: Humph... he ran away!
**Kong**: But, we've destroyed this Shadow base! It's a big success!!
**Player**: Haha, yes...
**Kong**: Hmm...
*Kong almost falls down...*
**Player**: Kong? Are you okay?
**Kong**: I'm fine. I just fought too hard. I need some rest.
**Player**: Don't force yourself. Let's meet up with Grancy!
**Kong**: Hmmm... Hmmm... Okay...
*Grancy and the Shadowhunters arrive*
**Grancy's Soldier A**: Wow! You really are the rock of our team...
**Grancy's Soldier A**: Did you kill all those shadows by yourself?
**Kong**: Player killed a lot too...
**Player**: Did I? They were mostly killed by Kong.
**Grancy's Soldier B**: Haha, you really are 'even worse than the Shadows!'
**Kong**: Haha!
**Player**: Even worse than the Shadows?
**Grancy**: Ehm Ahm! No more joking!
*Grancy turns to a couple of Shadowhunters*
**Grancy**: You two, tell the other brothers to search the area in teams of fives. Do not let go of any Shadows!
**Grancy's Soldier A**: Yes, sir!
**Grancy**: I'll tell Captain Bernard that our mission has been completed...
**Grancy**: And Kong...
**Kong**: Hehehe!
**Grancy**: This is not funny!
**Grancy**: You should take a rest. Don't tire yourself out!
**Grancy**: When we get back, I'll...
**Shadow Soldier**: Sir! Commander Grancy!
*A solider approaches Grancy*
**Grancy**: What happened?
**Shadow Soldier**: Many shadows appear around us! We've been surrounded!
**Grancy**: How many of them?
**Shadow Soldier**: Countless... they are about to attack us!
**Grancy**: Hmm...
*A blast explodes near the group*
**Grancy**: Not good!
**Grancy**: Everyone! Take cover!!
*More blasts go off and everyone falls back to a hidden spot near the base*
**Grancy**: (Whisper) How is the situation nearby?
**Shadow Scout**: (Whisper) Captain, the Shadows are everywhere...
**Shadow Scout**: (Whisper) It's impossible to leave without alerting them!
**Shadow Scout**: (Whisper) We are trapped...
**Kong**: (Whisper) How did their reinforcement arrive so soon?
**Shadow Base Scout**: Those guys are gone...
**Grancy**: Shhh!
*A group of Shadow soldiers and mages enter the base*
**Shadow Base Scout**: The guy who attacked the base armed with staff was right here just now!
**Shadow Base Scout**: He... he killed everyone...
**Shadow Reinforcement**: Search for him now! They must be nearby!
**Shadow Reinforcement**: Yes!
**Grancy**: (Whisper) Kong... did you... let the Shadow's scout escape?
**Kong**: (Whisper) Oh? Did I? I didn't notice...
**Grancy**: (Whisper) Hm... you...
**Grancy's Soldier B**: (Whisper) Hm... he's really...
**Grancy's Soldier A**: (Whisper) 'Worse than the shadow'...
**Kong**: (Whisper) I'm sorry...
**Player**: (Whisper) ...
**Grancy**: (Whisper) Let's not focus on that! The most important thing is to find a way out!
**Grancy**: (Whisper) If we can break through a weak link in the Shadow's line of defense...
**Grancy**: (Whisper) We should be able to force our way out!
**Kong**: (Whisper) There will be casualties for sure. I have a better idea!
**Grancy's Soldier A**: (Whisper) Kong! Stop making a mess!
**Grancy's Soldier A**: (Whisper) Just listen to the captain this time!
**Kong**: (Whisper) This time is different!
**Kong**: (Whisper) It was because I missed the Shadow's scout that we are trapped here...
**Kong**: (Whisper) I'll go distract them! And you can take the opportunity to run away!
**Grancy**: (Whisper) What?!
**Grancy's Soldier B**: (Whisper) Hey, rock monster, have you lost your mind? You can barely stand...
**Kong**: I caused this problem. I will take responsibility.
**Shadowcult Soldier**: The sound came from over there! They are over there!
**Player**: Uh...
**Kong**: Well, they've noticed us. I don't really have a choice!
*Kong leaves their hiding spot*
**Kong**: Hey! Are you looking for me? I am right here!!!
**Shadow Base Scout**: It is him! That's the guy!!
**Shadowcult Soldier**: How dare he... target found! Inform our brothers nearby, go after him!
**Player**: Kong...
*Choice 2.1 - Let's run now!*
**Grancy's Soldier B**: Well, it's Kong, he'll be fine...
**Grancy's Soldier B**: Plus, he did make this mess...
**Grancy's Soldier A**: What? Captain... we can't leave Kong alone!
**Grancy**: It is the Shadowhunter's mission to destroy the Shadows!
**Grancy**: Now that Kong has created an opportunity for us, we should take this chance to wipe out our enemies!
**Grancy**: Shadowhunters, listen!
*Choice 2.2 - We have to go help him!*
**Grancy's Soldier A**: Yes, we can't leave Kong alone!
**Grancy's Soldier B**: Ugh... but there are so many enemies...
**Grancy's Soldier B**: The rock monster exposed himself to cover us so that we can withdraw, didn't he?
**Grancy's Soldier B**: Plus, we were trapped because of him...
**Grancy**: It is the Shadowhunters' mission to destroy the shadows!
**Grancy**: The situation is not so bad that we have to sacrifice our brother and withdraw!
**Grancy**: Shadowhunters, listen!
*Conversation continues after choices*
**Grancy**: The enemies are approaching Kong's location, but they haven't gathered yet!
**Grancy**: We should take this opportunity to attack the approaching enemies one by one!
**Player**: Guerrilla warfare! Good idea!
**Grancy**: Everyone! At your full speed!
**Shadowhunters**: Yes, sir!
*Not long after they start attacking the enemy's reinforcements...*
*Bernard and the altar guards arrive...*
*Soon, the Shadow's reinforcement is destroyed under their combined attack...*
*Some time later...*
**Kong**: Brother Bernard, you arrived just in time!
**Bernard**: When we arrived at the designated location, we found that all the Shadows have been destroyed...
**Bernard**: So you fought with the Shadows in advance...
**Bernard**: What happened?
**Grancy's Soldier A**: Uh, about that...
**Player**: ...
**Grancy**: It's a ... long story...
**Kong**: Hehe... as long as we've won the battle!
**Bernard**: Is it... because of Kong?
**Grancy**: ...
**Grancy**: Kong, since the day you joined us, you have been part of the Shadowhunters...
**Grancy**: Your every action represents the entire team!
**Grancy**: Similarly, no matter what you've come across, the entire team will bear the responsibility with you!
**Grancy**: Something like 'as long as it doesn't affect the team' or 'you'll take responsibility for the problem you caused'
**Grancy**: You really should stop saying those things!!
**Kong**: Okay. Boss, calm down.
**Grancy**: ...
**Kong**: ...
*Grancy looks angrily over at a dejected Kong*
**Grancy**: You've defied my orders three times today...
**Grancy**: You... better get prepared!
**Kong**: ...
**Grancy**: Captain Bernard, please ask your men to clean up the battlefield...
**Bernard**: Yes, sir!
**Grancy**: Let's get ready and return to Westhold!
*Grancy and the Shadowhunters leave*
**Kong**: ...
**Player**: Kong?
**Kong**: Um...
**Kong**: I have a bad feeling...
**Grancy**: Kong! Catch up!
**Kong**: Yes, sir!
**Kong**: Player, Brother Bernard, see you!
*Kong leaves*
**Bernard**: This is the first time I see such an expression on Grancy's face...
**Player**: Well... that...
*A few days later, Westhold...*
*Kong finds you and hopes that you can testify at his court hearing...*
**Kong**: Please, come on, Player, You're the only one I can rely on...
**Player**: Slow down, Kong. Tell me what happened...
**Player**: First of all, what kind of hearing is it?
**Kong**: You remember the battle a few days ago? I defied Boss Grancy's orders...
**Kong**: Causing the team to get surrounded by the Shadow and endangering the team...
**Kong**: High command wants to expel me!
**Player**: What? Expel you?
**Kong**: Player, I can't get expelled. It's my dream since childhood to become a Shadowhunter!
**Player**: That sounds very serious! I thought that battle ended quite well?
**Yan**: Just because the battle ended well doesn't mean he can escape punishment!!
*Yan walks up to Player and Kong*
**Player**: Yan?
**Yan**: Player, I didn't know you know Kong.
*Suddenly, Kong launches at Yan but Yan hides behind Player*
**Yan**: What... are you trying to do?
**Player**: (What? Is Yan hiding from Kong?)
**Kong**: Hey... why are you hiding? I'm not going to bully you!
**Player**: B... Bully?
**Yan**: No... it's not like that... you've misunderstood...
**Kong**: Yan, I promise I will never make fun of you again. Help me please, don't vote for getting me expelled!
**Yan**: The Shadowhunters' hearing is sacred and fair. If you are innocent, of course you won't get punished!
**Yan**: I will make a fair judgement according to the facts!
**Kong**: Yan! You are the best! You are my good brother!
*Yan runs away*
**Kong**: Hey? Why did he run away?
**Player**: Kong, what did you do to him? I feel like... he doesn't like you very much?
**Kong**: Nothing. I just tease him and joke with him sometimes...
*Bernard approaches*
**Bernard**: Kong, everyone's looking for you. The hearing is about to start!
**Kong**: Oh! Okay!
**Kong**: Player, Brother Bernard, I'll be counting on you!
*Some time later, the hearing finishes...*
*According to the Shadowhunters' votes...*
*Kong is expelled from the Shadowhunters as he defied orders on the battlefield...*
*Player leaves the court*
**Player**: Kong... is discharged after all...
**Player**: Everyone's still here...
*Grancy seems to be talking with the soldiers...*
*Yan looks like he is preparing the weapons and equipment...*
*Bernard is comforting Kong...*
**Player**: ...
*Choice 3.1 - (Talk to Grancy...)*
**Player**: Kong... must be very upset right now...
**Player**: Leave him with Bernard a little longer...
*Player walks over to Grancy*
**Grancy**: We should stick to our plan and keep training...
**Grancy**: Player, I didn't expect Kong to ask you to help him.
**Player**: But, it didn't really work, did it?
**Player**: Kong has been expelled in the end...
**Grancy's Soldier A**: What a shame. It's a waste to not use Kong's capability on dealing with the Shadows.
**Grancy's Soldier B**: Hehe, forget it. We've already had enough problems caused by Kong.
**Grancy**: The man worse than the Shadow...
**Player**: Grancy, at Kong's hearing, what did you vote for...
**Grancy**: Me?
**Player**: Of course I understand that's a personal question. If you don't want to talk about it...
**Grancy**: It's fine, I can tell you...
**Grancy**: I voted against the discharge of Kong.
**Player**: !!!
**Grancy's Soldier B**: What? Boss?
**Grancy**: Why are you so surprised?
**Player**: Well, you feel like someone who would 'abide by the regulations'...
**Grancy**: Abide by the regulations?
**Grancy**: I thought only Yan gives people that impression.
**Grancy's Soldier B**: Yeah but, Sir, Kong messes with you all the time...so why?
**Grancy**: Sure, Kong is a pain in the neck...
**Grancy**: But if I discharge everyone who's a trouble maker, there'd be no one left in the Shadowhunters.
**Grancy**: The Shadowhunters' purpose is to destroy the Shadow, not ourselves.
**Grancy**: Kong, is very strong... don't you guys call him the rock monster?
**Grancy**: He can be the rock that crushes Shadows...
**Grancy**: So, getting rid of Kong would be a great loss for the Shadowhunters too...
**Player**: ...
**Grancy**: Player, we should head back to base now.
**Grancy**: If you see Kong...
**Grancy**: Tell him, Westhold Bar is open to the public, when he drinks there, he can put it on my tab!
**Player**: ...
**Player**: Got it!
*A few moments later...*
*Player checks on Bernard and Kong*
*Choice 3.2 - (Talk to Yan...)*
**Player**: Kong... he must be very upset right now...
**Player**: Leave him with Bernard a little longer...
*Player approaches Yan*
**Yan**: Player!
**Yan**: Thank you for testifying at the hearing!
**Player**: Huh?
**Player**: But... I was just describing how brave Kong was at the battlefield...
**Yan**: That helps me understand Kong even more.
**Yan**: Kong is an outstanding warrior!
**Yan**: In terms of fighting ability, most of the Shadowhunters are no match for Kong, including me...
**Player**: But he still got discharged by the Shadowhunters.
**Yan**: I know, I voted for Kong to be discharged!
**Player**: What? But didn't you just say...
**Yan**: Kong is an excellent warrior. But what Shadowhunters need...
**Yan**: Are soldiers!
**Yan**: Soldiers... will always obey orders!
**Player**: !!
**Yan**: In the last battle, Kong was very fortunate that there was no consequence for his nonsense...
**Yan**: But, is he always going to be fortunate?
**Yan**: No matter how strong he is, he won't be able to beat all the shadows on his own...
**Yan**: But a united and well-trained team can beat the shadows!
**Yan**: The Shadowhunters...
**Yan**: Is a team like this.
**Player**: ...
**Yan**: Bye, Player, I'm heading back to Broken Toe Isle.
*Yan turns to leave but is suddenly engulfed in flames*
**Yan**: Woah!
**Kong**: Hahaha, it's just an illusion bomb. It won't hurt you!
**Kong**: Yan, this is the last time I make fun of you.
**Kong**: Don't miss me too much!
**Yan**: Hmm...
**Yan**: You... Rock monster!!
*A few moments later...*
*Player talks with Bernard and Kong*
**Bernard**: Kong! Why do you have to tease Captain Yan?
**Kong**: Hehe, just for the last time...
**Kong**: ...
*Scene continues after choices*
**Kong**: Sorry... Brother Bernard, I still got expelled...
**Kong**: What a shame! We can't fight together anymore...
**Bernard**: ...
**Bernard**: It's okay... we are still brothers!
**Player**: Kong... I'm sorry...
**Kong**: It's okay, really...
**Kong**: Player, you are amazing!
**Kong**: You talked about me as if I am some sort of superhero.
**Player**: But... you are still...
**Kong**: Ha! Ha! Ha!
**Kong**: Maybe I really crossed the line this time.
**Kong**: But!
**Kong**: It doesn't matter!
**Kong**: It's just the Shadowhunters!
**Kong**: To be a Shadowhunter you need to train every day, obey orders on the battlefield...
**Kong**: There are better ways to defeat the enemies but the officials won't do it...
**Kong**: Humph! Who wants to be a Shadowhunter anyway!
**Player**: Haha, as long as you are happy!
**Bernard**: Kong...
**Bernard**: Haha, let's not talk about this!
**Bernard**: Kong, Player, let me buy you a drink!
**Kong**: No way!
**Kong**: Let me buy you a drink!
**Kong**: I'll go get a table first. Join me later!
**Player**: Kong...
*Kong runs away*
**Player**: The guy just ran away like that...
**Player**: Why don't we go to the bar together...
**Bernard**: Let him go. He needs to go somewhere quiet to let off some steam...
**Bernard**: He must be... very upset...
**Player**: What? But he looks pretty cheery...
*Kong's voice comes from afar...*
**Kong**: Aaaaaaaaaaah!
**Kong**: Kong! You are such an idiot!
**Kong**: You messed up again! Why!
**Bernard**: When in front of his friends, Kong always tries to appear positive...
**Bernard**: He doesn't want people to see his sad and vulnerable side...
**Player**: !!
**Bernard**: He'd wanted to become a Shadowhunter ever since he was little...
**Bernard**: Back then when he trained at the Ursus Altar...
**Bernard**: To pass the training, he'd suffered a lot and given up on a lot...
**Bernard**: Finally, he became a real Shadowhunter warrior.
**Bernard**: But now... he...
**Player**: Bernard, there's nothing we can do...
**Bernard**: Nothing?
**Bernard**: Player... just now when we voted...
**Bernard**: I voted... for Kong to be discharged...
**Player**: What?!
**Bernard**: The Shadowhunters... is not suitable for Kong...
**Bernard**: To become a Shadowhunter, he'd given up on his nature...
**Bernard**: When I first met him, he was a lot rowdier than he is now!
**Player**: Rowdier... than he is now?
**Bernard**: He would never stay in one place for more than 5 minutes...
**Bernard**: He likes climbing trees. He's climbed every tree at the altar...
**Bernard**: During training, he'd always have problems with other soldiers...
**Bernard**: But during missions, he would always charge ahead upfront...
**Bernard**: He never took the battle deployment to heart...
**Bernard**: I'd thought a lot about it before I voted...
**Bernard**: Although Kong still has his own way of thinking, at least he would take orders now.
**Bernard**: No matter how boring the training is, although he'd still complain, he would manage to finish it.
**Bernard**: If he continues to stay with the Shadowhunters, who is he... going to become in a few years...
**Bernard**: Will he still be Kong?
**Bernard**: Player, I don't want Kong... to become another Moon...
**Player**: !!
**Player**: ...
**Bernard**: Later when we drink together, I am going to confess to him...
**Bernard**: Even if he gets angry with me for the rest of my life, it doesn't matter...
**Player**: Bernard...
**Bernard**: Let's go! I think Kong is done venting. Let's go find him at the bar!
*Continue to Intimacy Level 4*

**Choice**

Two opposite roads may lead to the same end...

**-Part 1**

*Airship bridge...*
**Kong**: Player, thank you so much for helping us...
**Kong**: Please take us to the appointed location!
**Player**: You're welcome. I'm free today.
**Kong**: We just received a particularly important assignment...
**Kong**: It's well paid and there's even a bonus once we finish!
**Player**: Bonus?
**Kong**: I heard it's a secret book of the Hidden Way! Maybe I can learn some interesting skills!
**Player**: Huh? The Hidden Way?
**Player**: They usually live in seclusion in the mountains and rarely communicate with the outside world
**Player**: Okay, but be careful of scams...
**Kong**: Hehe, maybe the one who posted the assignment is the chief of the Hidden Way!
**Kong**: Even if I get scammed, at least there's a handsome reward at the end of it!
**Kong**: If we manage to get this job, that will help take care of the mercenary group for at least a year!
**Kong**: If I get the job, dinner's on me, Player!
**Player**: Good luck!
**Player**: Hang on... how come I don't see your mercenary brothers?
**Kong**: Oh! It's already the scheduled time!
**Kong**: Did those guys sleep in again?!
*A slim man with a gun named "Hawk Eye", an old mage named "Fire Lizard" and a swordsman in full armor named "Armor Bear" walk up to Player and Kong*
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Wow, this airship is massive!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: Hehe! Can we fire a cannon?
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: I've only ever been on a crowded public airship...
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: I can't believe how spacious this private airship is!
**Kong**: Hey hey! You are not here for sightseeing!
**Kong**: Don't forget we've got work to do!
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: I know! Aren't we still three hours away from our destination?
**Player**: Don't worry, I'll let you know when we're about to land!
**Player**: There's a bar and a swimming pool on the airship. Guys, have fun!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: A bar and a swimming pool?
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: That's awesome!
**Kong**: Hey you! Don't get too carried away!
**Kong**: We can't cover it if you damage the airship!
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: I know! No more chatter!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: Let's go to the bar!
**Kong**: Hey! Don't drink too much!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: Got it! Got it!
**Kong**: Sigh... Such troublemakers...
**Player**: I think they're alright...
**Kong**: How so?
**Player**: You guys get along well with each other, don't you?
**Player**: Isn't it more comfortable for you to stay with them than the Shadowhunters?
**Kong**: !!
**Kong**: Comfortable... Really?
**Kong**: They're a bunch of unreliable guys...
**Kong**: They know nothing except for eating and sleeping every day. I'm the one who has to worry about our duties...
**Kong**: I'm the leader of the mercenary group, but they disobey me sometimes!
**Kong**: Pain in the...
**Player**: ...
*Player smirks at Kong*
**Kong**: Player, why are you making that face?
**Kong**: I'm not talking about myself!!
**Player**: I didn't say anything.
**Kong**: Hm...
**Kong**: Player, let me introduce my mercenary brothers to you!
**Kong**: Oh right... I don't think you've met them before!
**Player**: Sure.
*Scene - On the deck of the airship*
*After some time, the airship has reached the predetermined height...*
**Kong**: ...
**Player**: Kong! You are here!
**Kong**: Oh, it's Player...
*You notice Kong holding a big bag of snacks in his hand...*
**Player**: Kong, I've told you not to binge eat when you're in a bad mood!
**Kong**: ...
**Kong**: I can't hide anything from you, can I? Fine, I won't eat...
**Player**: Tell me, what's the matter?
**Kong**: ...
**Kong**: Nah, it's not a big deal! Just that...
**Kong**: Boss Grancy came the other day...
**Kong**: You already know I turned him down.
**Player**: Yeah.
**Kong**: Last time I said that I didn't want to go back because of my pride...
**Player**: I knew you said that just to fob me off.
**Kong**: Hehe... you found out...
**Kong**: I didn't say that just to fob you off!
**Kong**: If I go back with Boss Grancy the minute he comes to see me...
**Kong**: Then I would look desperate.
**Player**: So, why didn't you want to go back to the Shadowhunters?
**Kong**: ...
**Kong**: Well...
**Kong**: Actually...
*Kong sighs...*
**Kong**: Well... Player, you know...
**Kong**: Brother Bernard voted in favor of discharging me...
**Kong**: Maybe there was something wrong with him that day...
**Kong**: Wait! I didn't mean to say anything bad about Brother Bernard!
**Player**: I didn't say you were!
**Player**: But didn't Bernard talk to you already?
**Kong**: He did...
**Kong**: Brother Bernard said that he wanted me to be who I am...
**Kong**: But... Boss Grancy said...
**Kong**: I have the power of a hero. I should be a hero or something...
**Kong**: What... what should I do?
**Player**: ...

**-Choice 1.1 - Listen to Bernard!**

**Kong**: Listen to... Brother Bernard?
**Player**: Among all the Shadowhunters, you're closest with Bernard.
**Player**: And he used to be your officer...
**Player**: Of all the Shadowhunters, I think Bernard is the one who knows you the best.
**Player**: Besides, from what I know of Bernard, he would never hurt you.
**Kong**: That's right...
**Kong**: Although... I feel as though...
**Kong**: Brother Bernard treats me like I'm Moon.
**Player**: What do you know about Moon?
**Kong**: Just what everyone else knows...
**Kong**: Moon and Brother Bernard have known each other since little. They are really close...
**Kong**: Moon followed in Brother Bernard's footsteps and became a Shadowhunter...
**Kong**: In the end, Moon died in a Shadow attack...
**Kong**: Though it wasn't Brother Bernard's fault, he still feels guilty about it.
**Kong**: But, I'm not Moon!
**Kong**: Although, I also admire Brother Bernard and want to follow him...
**Kong**: But, I'm Kong! I'm not Moon!
**Player**: Maybe that's why...
**Player**: Bernard would worry about you becoming Moon, right?
**Kong**: I've said that I'm not Moon!
**Kong**: At least I won't be confused by the Shadow!
**Kong**: !!
**Kong**: I'm sorry...
**Player**: Never, ever say that in front of Bernard!
**Kong**: At the end of the day... what am I to Brother Bernard?
**Kong**: Maybe, I'm just Moon's replacement...
**Player**: Kong...

**-Choice 1.1.1 - Then prove it to Bernard!**

**Kong**: Prove?
**Player**: Yeah!
**Player**: Kong, you should agree to Grancy's proposal and go back to the Shadowhunters!
**Player**: If you can become a successful Shadowhunter this time...
**Player**: I'm sure Bernard would change his mind too!
**Kong**: Change... Brother Bernard's mind...
**Kong**: Really...
**Player**: Kong... are you worried about something?
**Kong**: Well...
**Kong**: ...
**Kong**: No, it's nothing...
**Kong**: When I finish my current assignment, I will go find Grancy!
*Kong leaves*
**Player**: (Did Kong want to say something...)
**Player**: (I wish I could talk more with him...)
*Scene ends - Bad Ending*

**-Choice 1.1.2 - Is it because of Bernard that you want to become a Shadowhunter?**

**Kong**: What?
**Player**: Why do you care so much about how Bernard thinks of you?
**Kong**: Well, Brother Bernard was my training officer. It's normal to ask for his opinions...
**Player**: Kong! Why is that?
**Player**: If you're determined to join or leave the Shadowhunters, not even Bernard or Grancy can stop you!
**Player**: The problem is in your heart, so what do you think?
**Player**: What do the Shadowhunters mean to you?
**Player**: Why do you want to join the Shadowhunters?
**Kong**: ...
**Kong**: The Shadowhunters... to me...
**Kong**: Right! It's a dream!
**Kong**: It's always been my dream to be a Shadowhunter!
**Player**: Dream?
**Player**: Why is becoming a Shadowhunter your dream?
**Kong**: The Shadowhunters are super cool and awesome. They persevere in the right and fight against the Shadows...
**Kong**: Protect Luxium from the threat of the Shadows...
**Kong**: In the tribe where I grew up, many boys worship the Shadowhunters. I am no exception!
**Kong**: If I can join the Shadowhunters...
**Kong**: Which is super cool and awesome and righteous...
**Kong**: Everyone... Would be happy... Wouldn't they?
**Player**: Everyone?
**Player**: So... Kong, are you trying to prove yourself to others by becoming a Shadowhunter?
**Kong**: Hm...
**Kong**: ...
**Kong**: Well, you wouldn't understand my rock brain, Player!
**Player**: Again...
**Player**: You are a living person!
**Player**: You can't always use your rock head as an excuse!
**Kong**: !!
**Player**: If you always avoid problems that you don't want to face...
**Player**: They will always be a problem for you!
**Kong**: ...
**Kong**: Oh...
**Kong**: Do you know why I call myself the 'Son of Rock'?
**Player**: Is it because you are an orphan found on the rocks in the North Desert?
**Kong**: Oh? How did you know?
**Player**: Well, after all, you were quite famous among the Shadowhunters...
**Player**: Although, not in a good way...
**Kong**: Ha ha...
**Player**: However, I am still curious, why do you always talk about yourself as the 'Son of Rock'?
**Player**: Is it... some sort of nickname?
**Kong**: Not really...
**Kong**: In the tribe where I grew up, children without parents are all called the 'Sons of Rock'.
**Kong**: In the tribe, we don't have facilities like in the city...
**Kong**: The Sons of Rock can only beg for food from other families. We were always starving.
**Kong**: On the other hand, if we made trouble, we'd be imprisoned and get fed.
**Player**: How is that possible...
**Kong**: I don't mean to blame them. The nomadic life has always been hard...
**Kong**: I'm happy that they let me grow up in the tribe!
**Kong**: When I was a child, I always wanted to grow up quickly!
**Kong**: When I grow up, I will hunt and graze with the adults, and protect our tribespeople...
**Kong**: Try to help the people of the tribe live a better life!!
**Kong**: But when I grow up...
**Kong**: Maybe... It's because I've caused too much trouble...
**Kong**: Gradually, the 'Son of Rock' became my exclusive nickname...
**Kong**: And the 'Son of Rock' became a 'cursed existence' in the hearts of our tribe...
**Kong**: Gradually, the people in our tribe were divided into two groups. One group appreciated my ability and was willing to let me stay...
**Kong**: The other group thought I was too much of a trouble and wanted to kick me out...
**Kong**: And one time, I got into trouble again, and the tribe was forced to move...
**Kong**: Then I was kicked out.
**Player**: Kong..
**Player**: Well then, you should stop calling yourself the 'Son of Rock'!
**Kong**: I tried to avoid calling myself the 'Son of Rock'...
**Kong**: After being kicked out by my own tribe, I tried to join other tribes...
**Kong**: But before long they found out about my identity as the 'Son of Rock'. In the end, I was kicked out again...
**Kong**: So... since I can't get rid of this name...
**Kong**: I might as well talk about this identity all day and live a simple life like a rock man!
**Kong**: I thought, maybe I can make some real friends that way!
**Kong**: I didn't think I would succeed...
**Kong**: Well... At least... Sort of...
**Kong**: I joined the Shadowhunters, and I got to know Brother Bernard, Grancy, and you!
**Kong**: Even though a lot of people dislike me, I finally found a place to go...
**Kong**: I think you already know what happened next...
**Kong**: Because I misbehaved and disobeyed Boss Grancy's orders many times...
**Kong**: Once again, I was kicked out...
**Player**: Kong!

**-Choice 1.1.2.1 - If only you hadn't disobeyed Grancy's orders...**

**Kong**: That's impossible!
**Player**: What?
**Kong**: You've seen the shadowbeast yourself...
**Kong**: How can we leave all those dangerous monsters to Brother Bernard...
**Player**: But in the end, those monsters were just scarecrows...
**Player**: Bernard would be able to deal with them!
**Kong**: That was after we fought with the giant shadowbeast!
**Player**: That's right...
**Player**: After all... this is the reason you were discharged...
**Player**: Don't you regret it?
**Kong**: No, I don't! If time went back and I had one more chance...
**Kong**: I would still make the same choice!
**Kong**: It doesn't matter, even if I get discharged!
**Player**: !!
**Kong**: ...
**Kong**: Actually... That's just a few of my many transgressions...
**Kong**: When compared with others...
**Kong**: It's just nothing...
**Player**: But why do you have to act against orders?
**Kong**: I will obey if the order is correct...
**Kong**: But some orders are really stupid!
**Kong**: For example, leaving your brothers behind and retreating alone...
**Kong**: Taking the road when going by water would be faster.
**Kong**: Once I found a stronghold, which I could totally take care of by myself...
**Kong**: They made me wait for the support of other forces!
**Player**: Well... Officers have their own considerations.
**Player**: If all the soldiers acted on their own ways of thinking, it'd be very hard to fight a battle...
**Player**: Soldiers still need to obey orders!
**Kong**: But soldiers are also human, we are not machines!
**Kong**: We can't just take an order and obey it unconditionally, can we?
**Player**: ...
*Choice 1.1.2.1.1 - If only you hadn't disobeyed Grancy's order...*
*Go to Choice 1.1.2.1*
*Choice 1.1.2.1.2 - If only you could restrain yourself...*
*Go to Choice 1.1.2.2*
*Choice 1.1.2.1.3 - I understand...*
*Go to Part 2*

**-Choice 1.1.2.2 - If only you could restrain yourself...**

**Kong**: ...
**Player**: For example, when we first met...
**Player**: You dragged me to have a fight with you...
**Player**: Normal people wouldn't stand for that.
**Player**: Also, I heard that every time you see Yan, you tease him badly!
**Player**: If you could just act a bit more normally around people...
**Player**: Just a bit more normal, then you wouldn't be in such an awkward position in the hearing...
**Kong**: A bit more... Normal?
**Kong**: If I... greeted people normally...
**Kong**: They probably wouldn't remember me...
**Player**: Sigh... People do remember you now...
**Player**: But at the same time, you also annoy them...
**Kong**: Well, it's better than being forgotten!
**Kong**: At least if I became a Shadowhunter hero...
**Kong**: Yan and those guys who are annoyed by me would also say...
**Kong**: 'Kong is so strong! We've underestimated him.'
**Kong**: But, before this day could come, I've been kicked out already...
**Player**: ...
**Kong**: Actually, I've changed a lot already...
**Kong**: When I was first discovered by the Shadowhunters...
**Kong**: I knocked my training officer to the ground!
**Kong**: I was sent to various training camps, but no one could keep me under control!
**Kong**: At that time, all the Shadowhunters were deeply troubled by me!
**Kong**: Until finally, they sent me to the Ursus Altar to Brother Bernard...
*Kong suddenly shivers...*
**Player**: Bernard... What did he do to you...
**Kong**: Well... I can't bear to recall those memories...
*Kong shivers again...*
**Kong**: But indeed... If only I could show some restraint...
**Kong**: Maybe more people would accept me...
*Choice 1.1.2.2.1 - If only you hadn't disobeyed Grancy's order...*
*Go to Choice 1.1.2.1*
*Choice 1.1.2.2.2 - If only you could restrain yourself...*

*Choice 1.1.2.2.3 - I understand...*
*Go to Part 2*

**-Choice 1.2 - Listen to Grancy!**

**Kong**: Listen to... Boss Grancy?
**Player**: Didn't Grancy ask you to join the Shadowhunters special field force?
**Player**: You only need to answer the Shadowhunters' call when they need you...
**Player**: It suits you, doesn't it?
**Kong**: Yes..
**Kong**: Plus it's always been my dream to become a Shadowhunter...
**Kong**: But...
**Player**: Don't hesitate when you can follow your dream!
**Kong**: That's right...
**Kong**: But...
**Player**: Kong, at times like this you shouldn't worry about things like that.
**Kong**: It's not about pride at all!!
**Player**: ...
**Kong**: I'm sorry... Even if I tell you...
**Kong**: You won't understand...
**Kong**: No one would understand...
*Kong leaves*
**Player**: Kong...
**Player**: (I wish I could talk more with him...)
*Scene ends - Bad Ending*

**-Choice 1.3 - Listen to yourself!**

**Kong**: Myself?
**Player**: No matter if it's Bernard's idea or Grancy's idea...
**Player**: That's just other people's perception!
**Player**: Whether to go back to the Shadowhunters is your own decision, Kong!
**Player**: So... Kong, what do you think?
**Player**: What do the Shadowhunters mean to you?
**Player**: Why do you want to join the Shadowhunters?
**Kong**: ...
**Kong**: The Shadowhunters... to me...
**Kong**: Right! It's a dream!
**Kong**: It's always been my dream to be a Shadowhunter!
**Player**: Dream?
**Player**: Why is becoming a Shadowhunter your dream?
**Kong**: The Shadowhunters are super cool and awesome. They persevere in the right and fight against the Shadows...
**Kong**: Protect Luxium from the threat of the Shadows...
**Kong**: In the tribe where I grew up, many boys worship the Shadowhunters. I am no exception!
**Kong**: If I can join the Shadowhunters...
**Kong**: Which is super cool and awesome and righteous...
**Kong**: Everyone... Would be happy... Wouldn't they?
**Player**: Everyone?
**Player**: So... Kong, are you trying to prove yourself to others by becoming a Shadowhunter?
**Kong**: Hm...
**Kong**: ...
**Kong**: Well, you wouldn't understand my rock brain, Player!
**Player**: Again...
**Player**: You are a living person!
**Player**: You can't always use your rock head as an excuse!
**Kong**: !!
**Player**: If you always avoid problems that you don't want to face...
**Player**: They will always be a problem for you!
**Kong**: ...
**Kong**: Oh...
**Kong**: Do you know why I call myself the 'Son of Rock'?
**Player**: Is it because you are an orphan found on the rocks in the North Desert?
**Kong**: Oh? How did you know?
**Player**: Well, after all, you were quite famous among the Shadowhunters...
**Player**: Although, not in a good way...
**Kong**: Ha ha...
**Player**: However, I am still curious, why do you always talk about yourself as the 'Son of Rock'?
**Player**: Is it... some sort of nickname?
**Kong**: Not really...
**Kong**: In the tribe where I grew up, children without parents are all called the 'Sons of Rock'.
**Kong**: In the tribe, we don't have facilities like in the city...
**Kong**: The Sons of Rock can only beg for food from other families. We were always starving.
**Kong**: On the other hand, if we made trouble, we'd be imprisoned and get fed.
**Player**: How is that possible...
**Kong**: I don't mean to blame them. The nomadic life has always been hard...
**Kong**: I'm happy that they let me grow up in the tribe!
**Kong**: When I was a child, I always wanted to grow up quickly!
**Kong**: When I grow up, I will hunt and graze with the adults, and protect our tribespeople...
**Kong**: Try to help the people of the tribe live a better life!!
**Kong**: But when I grow up...
**Kong**: Maybe... It's because I've caused too much trouble...
**Kong**: Gradually, the 'Son of Rock' became my exclusive nickname...
**Kong**: And the 'Son of Rock' became a 'cursed existence' in the hearts of our tribe...
**Kong**: Gradually, the people in our tribe were divided into two groups. One group appreciated my ability and was willing to let me stay...
**Kong**: The other group thought I was too much of a trouble and wanted to kick me out...
**Kong**: And one time, I got into trouble again, and the tribe was forced to move...
**Kong**: Then I was kicked out.
**Player**: Kong..
**Player**: Well then, you should stop calling yourself the 'Son of Rock'!
**Kong**: I tried to avoid calling myself the 'Son of Rock'...
**Kong**: After being kicked out by my own tribe, I tried to join other tribes...
**Kong**: But before long they found out about my identity as the 'Son of Rock'. In the end, I was kicked out again...
**Kong**: So... since I can't get rid of this name...
**Kong**: I might as well talk about this identity all day and live a simple life like a rock man!
**Kong**: I thought, maybe I can make some real friends that way!
**Kong**: I didn't think I would succeed...
**Kong**: Well... At least... Sort of...
**Kong**: I joined the Shadowhunters, and I got to know Brother Bernard, Grancy, and you!
**Kong**: Even though a lot of people dislike me, I finally found a place to go...
**Kong**: I think you already know what happened next...
**Kong**: Because I misbehaved and disobeyed Boss Grancy's orders many times...
**Kong**: Once again, I was kicked out...
**Player**: Kong!

**-Choice 1.3.1 - If only you hadn't disobeyed Grancy's orders...**

**Kong**: That's impossible!
**Player**: What?
**Kong**: You've seen the shadowbeast yourself...
**Kong**: How can we leave all those dangerous monsters to Brother Bernard...
**Player**: But in the end, those monsters were just scarecrows...
**Player**: Bernard would be able to deal with them!
**Kong**: That was after we fought with the giant shadowbeast!
**Player**: That's right...
**Player**: After all... this is the reason you were discharged...
**Player**: Don't you regret it?
**Kong**: No, I don't! If time went back and I had one more chance...
**Kong**: I would still make the same choice!
**Kong**: It doesn't matter, even if I get discharged!
**Player**: !!
**Kong**: ...
**Kong**: Actually... That's just a few of my many transgressions...
**Kong**: When compared with others...
**Kong**: It's just nothing...
**Player**: But why do you have to act against orders?
**Kong**: I will obey if the order is correct...
**Kong**: But some orders are really stupid!
**Kong**: For example, leaving your brothers behind and retreating alone...
**Kong**: Taking the road when going by water would be faster.
**Kong**: Once I found a stronghold, which I could totally take care of by myself...
**Kong**: They made me wait for the support of other forces!
**Player**: Well... Officers have their own considerations.
**Player**: If all the soldiers acted on their own ways of thinking, it'd be very hard to fight a battle...
**Player**: Soldiers still need to obey orders!
**Kong**: But soldiers are also human, we are not machines!
**Kong**: We can't just take an order and obey it unconditionally, can we?
**Player**: ...
*Choice 1.3.1.1 - If only you hadn't disobeyed Grancy's order...*
*Go to Choice 1.3.1*
*Choice 1.3.1.2 - If only you could restrain yourself...*
*Go to Choice 1.3.2*
*Choice 1.3.1.3 - I understand...*
*Go to Part 2*

**-Choice 1.3.2 - If only you could restrain yourself...**

**Kong**: ...
**Player**: For example, when we first met...
**Player**: You dragged me to have a fight with you...
**Player**: Normal people wouldn't stand for that.
**Player**: Also, I heard that every time you see Yan, you tease him badly!
**Player**: If you could just act a bit more normally around people...
**Player**: Just a bit more normal, then you wouldn't be in such an awkward position in the hearing...
**Kong**: A bit more... Normal?
**Kong**: If I... greeted people normally...
**Kong**: They probably wouldn't remember me...
**Player**: Sigh... People do remember you now...
**Player**: But at the same time, you also annoy them...
**Kong**: Well, it's better than being forgotten!
**Kong**: At least if I became a Shadowhunter hero...
**Kong**: Yan and those guys who are annoyed by me would also say...
**Kong**: 'Kong is so strong! We've underestimated him.'
**Kong**: But, before this day could come, I've been kicked out already...
**Player**: ...
**Kong**: Actually, I've changed a lot already...
**Kong**: When I was first discovered by the Shadowhunters...
**Kong**: I knocked my training officer to the ground!
**Kong**: I was sent to various training camps, but no one could keep me under control!
**Kong**: At that time, all the Shadowhunters were deeply troubled by me!
**Kong**: Until finally, they sent me to the Ursus Altar to Brother Bernard...
*Kong suddenly shivers...*
**Player**: Bernard... What did he do to you...
**Kong**: Well... I can't bear to recall those memories...
*Kong shivers again...*
**Kong**: But indeed... If only I could show some restraint...
**Kong**: Maybe more people would accept me...
*Choice 1.3.2.1 - If only you hadn't disobeyed Grancy's order...*
*Go to Choice 1.3.1*
*Choice 1.3.2.2 - If only you could restrain yourself...*
*Go to Choice 1.3.2*
*Choice 1.3.2.3 - I understand...*
*Go to Part 2*

**-Part 2**

**Kong**: What do you... understand?

**-Choice 1.1 - You just want to show off!**

**Kong**: What?
**Player**: I've had this feeling since we first met!
**Player**: The first time we met, you tried to have a fight with me...
**Player**: Whenever we're on a mission with Grancy, you always have to charge in the front...
**Player**: Plus, after what you've just told me...
**Player**: Basically, I can tell!
**Player**: You just want to show off!
**Player**: Kong, it's okay to show off or seek attention...
**Player**: But it's not good when it's too much!
**Kong**: Show off?
**Kong**: Is that how you see me, Player...
**Kong**: Actually...
**Kong**: ...
**Player**: Kong?
**Kong**: No, it's fine!
**Kong**: It's good to know how you see me.
**Kong**: I'd better prepare for the next battle now, or my brothers will tell me to hurry up!
*Kong leaves*
**Player**: (I feel like Kong wanted to say something...)
**Player**: (I wish I could talk more with him...)
*Scene ends - Bad Ending*

**-Choice 1.2 - You just need a home...**

**Player**: You want to find a home to go back to...
**Kong**: Home?
**Kong**: ...
**Kong**: I'm Master Kong, I am super strong...
**Kong**: Why would I need a home?
**Player**: ...
**Kong**: Why are you... staring at me?
**Player**: ...
**Kong**: What are you doing...
**Player**: ...
*You give Kong a hug...*
*You feel Kong's body shaking...*
**Kong**: !!
**Player**: You are bigger than you look...
**Kong**: Well...
*Kong blushes and then quickly pushes Player back*
**Kong**: Hey hey... Why do you suddenly...
**Kong**: Even if you... like me... you should tell me first... before you hug me...
**Kong**: You scared... me...
**Player**: ...
*Player smiles*
**Kong**: I don't know what to do with you sometimes, Player!
**Kong**: Fine, I'll admit it!
**Kong**: I... I don't want to be alone...
**Kong**: No one wants to be alone!
**Kong**: I want to be friends with everyone, I want to protect everyone...
**Kong**: But it always backfires...
**Kong**: In the end...
**Kong**: The tribe and the Shadowhunters think I'm trouble...
**Kong**: Grancy is only interested in my strength...
**Kong**: Even Brother Bernard...
**Kong**: Wants to kick me out...
**Kong**: No one... No one likes me...
**Kong**: Maybe the 'Son of Rock' is really a curse!
**Player**: It's not like that!
**Kong**: ...
*Choice 1.2.1 - I like you*
**Kong**: What? What do you mean?
**Player**: You're very cute when you're shy...
**Kong**: What?
**Player**: Hey hey! Can you stop being so cute?!
**Kong**: Stop... Stop it!
**Player**: Fine! I won't talk about myself!
*Choice 1.2.2 - A lot of people like you very much.*
*No additional dialog*
*Conversation continues after choices*
**Player**: Many people like you a lot!
**Player**: For example, there's a brother working for Grancy...
**Player**: He speaks highly of you!
**Player**: That day when we were surrounded by Shadows when you jumped out...
**Player**: He tried so hard to save you!
**Kong**: Boris... That guy...
**Player**: And Bernard...
**Kong**: But Brother Bernard... wants to kick me out...
**Player**: Have you forgotten what Bernard said ... after the hearing?
**Player**: 'Even though you are not a Shadowhunter anymore, we are still brothers!'
**Kong**: !!
**Player**: Bernard has always treated you like his brother!
**Player**: He voted for the Shadowhunters to discharge you...
**Player**: It's because he likes who you are now!
**Kong**: Brother Bernard...
**Kong**: But... I'm the 'Son of Rock'... Maybe one day he will despise me too...
**Player**: Son of Rock?
**Player**: When I hugged you just now...
**Player**: It felt so good.
**Player**: Your skin is so soft while your muscles are so tight. I can feel the warmth of your body.
**Player**: Although you are overly enthusiastic, impulsive, and super egoistic...
**Player**: And your pride... no one can understand what you are thinking...
**Kong**: ...
**Player**: But a rock man wouldn't be so emotional, would he?
**Player**: It proves that you are flesh and blood!!
**Kong**: !!
**Player**: And about the Shadowhunters...
**Player**: I don't think it matters whether you go back or not!
**Kong**: What?
**Player**: Because you are not alone anymore!
**Kong**: I'm... not alone?
**Player**: At least you have me, Bernard, and...
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: WOW! I didn't know I can walk on the deck!
*Kong's mercenary band walk out on the airship deck*
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Look! What a view!
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: You guys, it's windy up there. Be careful and don't get sick!
*The three rush to Kong's side*
**Kong**: Hey! Don't grab me!
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Hey! Kong! You sly dog! You found this awesome place and you didn't tell us!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: Right! How can you not tell us about such a fun place! We must punish you!
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: Exactly! We should teach you a lesson!
**Kong**: Hey! Hold on!
**Kong**: Ouch, it hurts! You're pinching me!
**Kong**: Player, what did you...
**Kong**: Mean exactly?
**Player**: ...
*Player smiles*
*Continue to Intimacy Level 9*

**-Choice 1.3 - The Shadowhunters are not for you!**

**Kong**: Player you and Brother Bernard have the same idea...
**Player**: Kong, you just said...
**Player**: 'But, soldiers are also human, we are not machines!'
**Player**: 'We can't just obey unconditionally when you enter a command?'
**Player**: What you said isn't wrong.
**Player**: However, the Shadowhunters is a disciplined organization...
**Player**: Do you know what Yan said about you on the day of the hearing?
**Kong**: Yan? I don't think he'd speak positively of me...
**Player**: That's not true!
**Player**: He said that you are an outstanding warrior!
**Kong**: What?
**Player**: But he added that what the Shadowhunters needs...
**Player**: Is a soldier who follows orders.
**Kong**: I... I can take orders too!
**Kong**: I am very different from before...
**Kong**: If I was given a bit more time...
**Player**: Is a completely obedient Kong still Kong?
**Kong**: Why do you... Sound exactly like Brother Bernard?
**Player**: Bernard doesn't want you to lose your true self in order to join the Shadowhunters!
**Kong**: My true self?
**Kong**: If my 'true self' is despised and hated by others...
**Kong**: Then I'd rather change it and become someone else...
**Player**: Kong...
**Kong**: Player, sorry for listening to my whining for so long...
**Kong**: I have to prepare for battle with my mercenary brothers.
**Kong**: Otherwise, they're going to rush me...
*Kong leaves*
**Player**: Kong
**Player**: (Kong seems even more sad...)
**Player**: (Did I say something wrong...)
*Scene ends - Bad ending*

**Brothers**

Only true brothers are willing to lend a hand in your despair...

**-Part 1**

*Scene - Eversun harbor*
**Kong**: Boss Grancy, Player...
**Kong**: Brother Bernard got caught by the Shadows... when he was trying to save me!!
**Player**: !!
**Grancy**: ...
**Kong**: We have to get Brother Bernard out!!
**Grancy**: Calm down...
**Grancy**: What's going on?
**Kong**: A few months ago, my mercenary band received a big assignment...
**Kong**: I thought with this one job, we could be comfortable for a long time...
**Player**: Assignment? Is it the job you told me about when your mercenary band came to my airship?
**Kong**: Yes... But...
**Kong**: That assignment... was a total scam!
*Scene - Fade to black*
**Kong**: They said that a rich businessman's kid was killed by the Shadow. He found that the murderer was hiding in a Shadow base...
**Kong**: They were willing to hire mercenaries and pay them handsomely to destroy the Shadow base.
**Kong**: The assignment itself was fine. Besides, our mercenary band has always been taking jobs for eliminating Shadows.
**Kong**: Of course, we were not going to miss out on this assignment...
*Scene - The past, a Shadow base*
*A few months ago, at the Shadow base...*
*A group of Shadows stands around when suddenly, Kong lands on them using his Devastating Bash*
*Armor Bear runs up to Kong's location*
**Kong**: Ha Ha! A successful infiltration.
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: Gees! Such an obvious infiltration...
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: I love it!!
*A blast goes off in the distance*
**Kong**: This voice... The old man has made it!
**Kong**: Let's go!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: Okay!
*Kong and Armor Bear run off to another part of the Shadow base*
*The two meet up with Fire Lizard and Hawk Eye, standing amongst many fallen Shadow forces*
*After a while...*
**Kong**: Great success!
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Well, regardless of the difficulties...
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: However, with me here, it's just a piece of cake!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: Hahaha, our mercenary band is invincible!
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: Guys... Don't you think it's a little bit too easy?
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: If you tell me this is a Shadow outpost, I might still believe it...
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: But, if this is a Shadow base... It's really too easy...
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Hey! Old fool! What are you talking about...
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: This is way more difficult than a Shadow outpost!
**Kong**: Yes, the military force here is at least three times that of an ordinary outpost...
**Kong**: The number of troops will be hard for any regular mercenary band to handle...
**Kong**: We even needed a strategy to break in...
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: You call splitting up a strategy?
**Kong**: Of course!
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: We've completed the assignment! Let's go and get the reward!!
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Let's go!
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: Well... Maybe I was just overthinking it...
*Scene - A secluded area in BlackFlame City*
*Kong meets with a well-dressed man and his two bodyguards*
*Two days later...*
**Rich Guy**: Thank you... Thank you so much!
**Kong**: You are welcome. This is our job!
*The businessman makes a gesture...*
*The bodyguards drop two large chests in front of Kong*
**Rich Guy**: This is your reward! Please accept it...
**Rich Guy**: I've doubled the price that we agreed upon!
**Kong**: D... double?!
**Kong**: No, no, no. It's not what we've agreed on... We shouldn't...
**Rich Guy**: It is a bonus. Just take it!
**Kong**: But... this is inappropriate...
**Rich Guy**: No, you've avenged my son. Even if I give you all my wealth, I can't express enough of my gratitude!
**Kong**: !!
**Rich Guy**: This is nothing. Please accept it!
**Kong**: You are such a... good father...
**Kong**: Your son... Although he's passed on, he's a lucky fellow...
**Kong**: Okay, then I'll accept it!
**Rich Guy**: In addition, this is the book about the Hidden Way, as stated in the assignment...
**Rich Guy**: I hope it helps!
**Kong**: WOW! That is fantastic!
**Kong**: Thank you!
**Rich Guy**: Thank you again for avenging my son!
*Some time later...*
*Kong meets up with his mercenary band and shows them the large chests*
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Seriously? That's a lot of money!!
**Kong**: The client was very happy that we'd avenged his son...
**Kong**: He said this is a bonus for us!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: Oh, oh!
**Kong**: I didn't want it, but the client...
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: You didn't want it? Kong! Are you out of your mind?
**Kong**: Alright! I took it in the end, didn't I?
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Hey! That's a lot of money. How should we spend it?
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: As we've discussed, we must keep half of it to cover the turnover costs of the mercenary!
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Hey! They paid us double! Do we still need to save half of it?
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: Of course we do!
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Ahhhh...
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: Don't worry about it. Each of us will still receive double of what we'd expected!
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Awesome!
**Kong**: ...
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Kong! We've finished such a big assignment...
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: We should go get a drink!
**Kong**: Of course! Today, let's all get drunk!
*BlackFlame City, late night...*
*Armor Bear and Hawk Eye are on the ground while Fire Lizard and Kong have trouble standing*
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Hey! Leave... leave me alone...I can drink more!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: Burp! With the money... I want to...
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: Hey! You guys drank too much!
**Kong**: It's fine... today... is different...
**Kong**: By the way, why are you not drinking?
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: You young people are too self-indulgent. If I was like you...
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: I might've gotten myself into trouble!
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: Besides, one of us has to be sober!
*Fire Lizard goes to Hawk Eye*
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: Kong, I'll carry one and you'll carry the other one...Let's go...
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: It's not safe to sleep on the streets of BlackFlame City!
**Kong**: Okay.
*Kong goes to pick up Armor Bear*
*Suddenly, Fire Lizard notices something in the distance*
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: !!
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: Kong! Be careful!!
**Kong**: !!
*Kong narrowly avoids a Shadow blast*
**???**: You are so agile even when you're drunk, aren't you?
**Kong**: Who is it?
*The Rich Guy, two Shadow mages and two Shadow swordsmen walk up to the mercenary band*
**Kong**: Are you... the client?
**Rich Guy**: Humph! Do it, now!!
*The Shadow mages prepare to cast a spell*
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: Kong! Be careful! These aren't ordinary people!
*The Shadow mages trap Kong, Hawk Eye and Armor Bear in an arcana prison*
**Kong**: Hey! What do you want?
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: Kong!
*The two Shadow swordsmen apprehend Fire Lizard*
**Kong**: !!
**Rich Guy**: Even the "Fire Lizard" won't be able to do anything...
**Rich Guy**: With so many people surrounding you so closely!
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: Humph!
**Kong**: A trap like this...
*Kong breaks free of his arcana prison*
**Rich Guy**: Oh? Not bad, Mage Group! Multi-Shadow Array!
**Rich Guy**: Yes, sir!
*A circle of blood red flux appears under Kong*
**Kong**: !!
*Kong gets trapped in a stronger prison*
**Kong**: Well... My body...
**Kong**: Do you think... You can defeat me just like that!!! I'm Master Kong!
**Rich Guy**: Hehe...
*The roars of wild animals come from not far away...*
*A giant Shadow Beast corners the mercenary band leaving no room for escape*
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: Kong!!!
*The bear attacks Kong and knocks him out*
*Scene - Fade to black*
**Kong**: I couldn't fight back. And the mercenary band was captured by the Shadow.
**Kong**: I thought, getting killed is the worst scenario...
**Kong**: However...
**Kong**: It's not...
*Scene - The past, a Shadow base*
*Some time later...*
*Fire Lizard, Hawk Eye and Armor Bear are trapped in a larger arcana prison while Kong is in the Multi-Shadow Array*
**Kong**: Hm... Hm...
*Kong stands up*
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: Kong! You finally woke up!
**Kong**: My head... hurts...
**Kong**: Old lizard! Stupid bird! dumb bear! Are you okay?
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: I am fine...
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Don't worry. My arms and legs are still there.
**Kong**: !!
**Kong**: Where are we?!
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: The base of the Shadow...
**Kong**: Shadow? What's going on?
**???**: Wow, you really are a sound sleeper!
*The Rich Guy and two Shadow mages approach Kong*
**Kong**: You! Who are you?
**Rich Guy**: Rock head. Your memory is not so good!
**Rich Guy**: Maybe... You'll remember me after seeing this...
*The Rich Guy shows off a giant Shadow Beast, the same one Kong and Player saw at the Shadow base so long ago*
**Kong**: It's you!!
**Shadow Hierophant**: As I said, I swear...
**Shadow Hierophant**: I will have my revenge!!
**Kong**: Hm...
**Shadow Hierophant**: Don't waste your time!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Even you... won't be able to get away from this trap!
**Kong**: Arghhhh!!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Kong, the Son of Rock from the North Desert, is a cursed orphan with no one to rely on...
**Shadow Hierophant**: I knew that once I used the father-and-son excuse you'd fall into my trap. You're so predictable!
**Kong**: !!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Once I offered double the price, you'd let your guard down...
**Shadow Hierophant**: And fall into my trap!
**Kong**: Dang...
**Kong**: How could I fall for it...
**Kong**: I really hate to admit it...
**Kong**: Release my men! And I am at your disposal!
**Shadow Hierophant**: At my disposal?
**Shadow Hierophant**: Hahaha ha ha ha ha, you are so naive!
**Shadow Hierophant**: What can a dead man do for me?
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: What are you talking about?!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Get out of my way and shut up!
*The Shadow Hierophant uses a spell to hurt Hawk Eye and knocks him out*
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Ouch!
**Kong**: Hey! Stop it!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Don't worry... I was just teaching him a lesson. He won't die!
**Shadow Hierophant**: But next time, I may not spare him!
**Kong**: Let them go! I'm the one you want!
**Shadow Hierophant**: As I said, I will have my revenge!
**Kong**: What are you going to do?
**Shadow Hierophant**: Let's make a deal...
**Shadow Hierophant**: You... will work for me...
**Shadow Hierophant**: And I... Will keep them alive...
**Kong**: I work for you?
**Shadow Hierophant**: After all... I am a Shadow. It's not convenient for me to do a lot of things...
**Shadow Hierophant**: But... You can!
**Kong**: What?
**Shadow Hierophant**: With your relationship with Player and the Shadowhunters...
**Shadow Hierophant**: You can help me do a lot of things.
**Kong**: Are you joking?!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: Kong! Don't listen to him!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: Ahhh!
*The Shadow Hierophant uses another spell on Armor Bear*
**Kong**: Dumb bear!
**Shadow Hierophant**: I have no time to joke with you!
**Shadow Hierophant**: If keeping you alive is not meaningful to me...
**Shadow Hierophant**: Then you should all die!
**Shadow Hierophant**: I'll give you 5 minutes. I'll kill them after 5 minutes...
**Kong**: !!
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: Kong! Don't worry about me!
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: Whoaaa!
*The Shadow Hierophant uses a powerful spell on Fire Lizard*
**Shadow Hierophant**: Cut the crap...
**Kong**: ...
**Shadow Hierophant**: Honestly, Kong...
**Shadow Hierophant**: Their fate is in your hands...
**Shadow Hierophant**: I feel sorry for them!
**Shadow Hierophant**: If you hadn't rushed into my base that day...
**Shadow Hierophant**: They wouldn't have been trapped here, would they?
**Kong**: !!
**Kong**: You're a Shadow... even if I can't, Grancy and Brother Bernard will destroy you!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Well, makes sense!
**Shadow Hierophant**: But because you are the one that destroyed my base...
**Shadow Hierophant**: That's why the three of them are now lying on the floor, unable to move...
**Shadow Hierophant**: Isn't that right? The Son of Rock?
**Shadow Hierophant**: The cursed Son of Rock?
**Kong**: Hm...
**Kong**: Shut up...
**Shadow Hierophant**: Because of you, they became prisoners of the Shadow...
**Shadow Hierophant**: Soon...
**Shadow Hierophant**: If you refuse to cooperate with me...
**Shadow Hierophant**: They will die because of your stubbornness!
**Kong**: Shut up!!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Well..
**Shadow Hierophant**: Being your brother is probably the most unfortunate thing that happened to them!
**Kong**: Shut up!!!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Ah, time's up...
**Shadow Hierophant**: What a pity. Bid farewell to your friends!
**Kong**: Hold on!!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Oh?
**Kong**: Stop it!!
**Kong**: I'll do it... Don't kill them!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Good boy!
**Shadow Hierophant**: It's good to be alive! Being alive... is meaningful!
**Kong**: ...
**Shadow Hierophant**: Remember to have a read of the book of the Hidden Way...
**Shadow Hierophant**: The magic inside... Will be able to help you finish my task...
**Shadow Hierophant**: Haha haha!
*The Shadow Hierophant leaves*
**Kong**: ...
*Scene - Fade to black*
**Kong**: And that's how I became a stooge for the Shadows...
**Grancy**: I never thought the Shadow... would take hostage...
**Kong**: During this period, I infiltrated the Shadowhunters' outpost and stole the Never Isle artifact following the Shadow's instructions...
**Kong**: I've done many things that can never be forgiven...
**Player**: So, that day in Never Isle...
**Kong**: Yes... I stole the artifact from the academy! And I broke your arcana detector on purpose...
**Grancy**: I guess you wouldn't want to be the puppet of that priest?
**Kong**: Yes, I'd been trying to save my brothers...
**Kong**: Three days ago, with the artifact, I stole from Never Isle...
**Kong**: I finally managed to open the arcana cage that had imprisoned us...
**Kong**: However...
*Scene - The past, at the Shadow base*
*Three days ago, the Shadow base...*
**Kong**: This way! We're almost out!
*Kong and his mercenary band run towards the exit when the Shadow Hierophant teleports in front of them*
**Shadow Hierophant**: What a great escape plan!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Do you really think I won't notice your little tricks?
**Kong**: !!
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: How dare you show up on your own!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: Perfect! It saves us so much time looking for you!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Humph!
*The Shadow Hierophant summons a giant Shadow Beast*
**Shadow Hierophant**: Kong... You are still valuable to me...
**Shadow Hierophant**: Be a good boy and go back!
**Kong**: ...
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Stop using Kong!
*Hawk Eye shoots the Shadow Beast*
*The giant Shadow Beast looks this way...*
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: Watch me!
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: I won't be held hostage again!
*Fire Lizard uses fire flux to attack the Shadow Beast*
**Shadow Beast**: Roar!!!
*Armor Bear attacks the Shadow Beast*
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: It's a shame for the rest of my life to be used by you!!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: I'll stall this monster! You guys go find a way to get out of here!
**Kong**: No, we need to kill this monster together!
**Shadow Hierophant**: You'd better go at once! Otherwise I'll be bored!
**Kong**: I'll show you Master Kong's strength!!
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Let us show him the consequences of messing with our mercenary band!!
*The band fights the Shadow Beast but the Shadow Hierophant summons another one*
*They continue fighting but Hawk Eye and Fire Lizard get seriously injured while Kong and Armor Bear can barely stand*
**Kong**: Hm...
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Dang!
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: My arcana... doesn't work at all...
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: Is that... my limit already?
**Shadow Hierophant**: Haha haha! Is that all you got... You guys are hilarious!
**Kong**: ...
**Shadow Hierophant**: But I still have to thank you...
**Shadow Hierophant**: You've helped me collect enough battle data for the giant Shadow Beast...
**Shadow Hierophant**: It won't take long before they tear down the whole of Luxium!
**Shadow Hierophant**: You are useless to me now. Are you ready to go to the nether world?
**Kong**: No...
**Shadow Hierophant**: Kong, if you'd worked for me obediently...
**Shadow Hierophant**: They might have been able to live for a few more days.
**Shadow Hierophant**: As I said...
**Shadow Hierophant**: It's unfortunate for them... to be your brothers!
**Kong**: ...
**???**: Nonsense!!!
**Kong**: This voice...
**Kong**: No... Impossible!
**???**: Roar!!!!!
*A loud Thunder Roar echoes through the base, paralyzing the two Shadow Beasts*
**Shadow Hierophant**: What? Who frightened my giant Shadow Beast?
**Shadow Hierophant**: Humph! But you can't run away!
*The Shadow Hierophant teleports away as Bernard comes to the rescue*
**Bernard**: Kong! You're a hard man to track down!
**Kong**: Brother Bernard!
**Bernard**: Why didn't you tell me you were in trouble! Am I not your brother?!!
**Kong**: !!
**Bernard**: Kong! And the brothers over there... Can you guys still move?
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: I can! But, Hawk and Fire Lizard...
**Bernard**: Good! I'll cover you!
**Bernard**: Take your brothers and leave this place!
**Kong**: No!
**Bernard**: Kong! This monster is very unusual... It will wake up very soon...
**Bernard**: Then, none of us will be able to leave!
**Kong**: Brother Bernard, this trouble is of my own making... You should stay out of this!
**Bernard**: Ha, I am already in it!
**Bernard**: Plus, my brother's trouble is my trouble!!
**Kong**: No! Let's get out together!
**Bernard**: Listen, Kong!
**Bernard**: Take your brothers and get out of here while you can!
**Bernard**: You don't want to lose your mercenary brothers, do you?
**Kong**: ...
**Bernard**: If you don't want to lose your brothers, then go now!
**Kong**: Brother Bernard!! You... You are my brother too!!
**Bernard**: Yes...
**Bernard**: But! I am also your officer!
**Bernard**: I order you to leave now!
**Kong**: No...
**Bernard**: I've lost Moon...
**Bernard**: Do you want to put me through the pain of losing another brother?!
**Kong**: !!!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: Kong... Kong... I can still fight...
**Kong**: Dumb bear... Take Stupid Hawk...
**Kong**: I'll carry Old Lizard... Let's go!
**Bernard**: ...
**Kong**: Brother Bernard...
**Kong**: I'll come back and save you!
**Shadow Beast**: Woooo...
**Bernard**: This thing is going to wake up...
**Shadow Beast**: Roar!!!!!
*The Shadow Beasts can move again*
*Bernard distracts the beasts as Kong and his mercenary band escape*
*The Shadow Hierophant teleports back to his beasts*
**Shadow Hierophant**: Captain Bernard, is it really worth it to bet your life on that rock man?
**Bernard**: It is my honor to be your brother, Kong...
**Bernard**: Kong, with you as my brother, I have no regret in my life!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Let me grant you your wish then!
**Bernard**: Come on, show me what you got!
*Bernard uses Sacrifice Guard*
**Bernard**: Shadow demon! Get lost!!!
*Scene - Present, Eversun harbor*
*Now...*
**Kong**: Because of me, Brother Bernard was captured by the Shadow...
**Player**: Kong... I think you'd better prepare yourself for Bernard to sacrifice himself...
**Kong**: ...
**Grancy**: No!
**Player**: !!
**Grancy**: According to what Kong told us, the Shadow hierophant is very greedy...
**Grancy**: I'm afraid he'll use Captain Bernard as his hostage...
**Grancy**: And make Kong continue to work for him.
**Grancy**: That's why Kong is asking us for help this time!
**Grancy**: Kong, am I right?
**Kong**: Boss Grancy, you are so smart!
**Kong**: I received a letter from that guy today...
**Kong**: He said that Brother Bernard is still alive. If I want him to release Brother Bernard...
**Kong**: I need to get him the artifact 'Crystal of Ka' which is kept in the Shadowhunters' vault in exchange!
**Grancy**: Crystal of Ka!
**Player**: What's that?
**Grancy**: It's a relic from the second Shadow war.
**Grancy**: The crystal contains the Light Nexus...
**Grancy**: Its flux is equal to almost six months' flux of a Nexus...
**Player**: !!
**Kong**: I am not going to steal a relic!
**Kong**: But, I would like to ask Grancy, the Shadowhunters, and Player to help me!
**Kong**: We must save Brother Bernard!
**Player**: Of course, I also want to save Bernard!
**Grancy**: We need troops to fight against the giant Shadow Beast...
**Grancy**: I'll report to the high command of the Shadowhunters and request them to send troops!
**Kong**: Thank you so much!
**Grancy**: You're welcome. Fighting the Shadows is the mission of the Shadowhunters!!

The soaring tower shall break the gloomy curse...

**-Part 1**

*Scene - BlackFlame City, at a restaurant*
*BlackFlame City...*
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: Player, you are here!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: Player, we need to use your airship again!
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Not bad! Not bad! You really are the man I admire!
**Player**: Bernard is my brother too. Of course I need to save him!
**Player**: What is our plan for rescuing Bernard?
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: No idea!
**Player**: What?
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Kong said he already has a plan!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: He's shut himself in his room for a few days...
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: Yesterday when he came out, he said he already had a plan...
**Player**: So? Where is Kong? How come I don't see him...
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: Kong hasn't been back yet...
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: He'll be back soon. Don't worry!
**Player**: Where did he go?
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: He went to steal the 'Crystal of Ka'.
**Player**: What? By himself?
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: The more people you involve in a theft, the more likely you are to be caught!
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Although Kong is not as good as I am, he's good enough!
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: But, after all, the Shadowhunters' headquarters are heavily guarded...
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: Don't worry! Kong will be back safe and sound!!
**Kong**: WA HA HA HA HA!!
**Player**: Speak of the devil!
**Kong**: Super duper mighty Master Kong is back!!
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: What a noisy guy!
**Kong**: This is the last time! One last time!
**Player**: I don't believe this is the last time for you...
**Kong**: ...
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: All right, all right! Did you get the thing?
**Kong**: Hehe! Master Kong is here...
**Kong**: Of course I've got it!
*Kong shows everyone a crystal glowing with a mysterious light*
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: Awesome!
**Player**: This is... the Crystal of Ka?
**Kong**: This is it! I took it straight from the Shadowhunters' vault!
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: Let me examine it...
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: Wow...
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: It's wonderful!
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: The crystal really contains the Light Nexus!
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: And such a high quantity! Unbelievable!
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: This is the real 'Crystal of Ka'!
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: How could it be so easy to steal? Are you sure weren't followed by anyone?
**Kong**: Don't worry! No one will be able to follow me!
**Player**: ...
*Choice 1.1 - Wasn't it too easy to steal this crystal?*
**Kong**: Well...
**Kong**: Now you mention it... it was really quite simple...
**Kong**: There are very few guards at the entrance of the vault...
**Kong**: With only a few very obvious traps...
**Kong**: It is a little bit strange. Normally Grancy would be more alert...
**Player**: Grancy!
**Player**: (I see. Grancy deliberately let Kong take the artifact away!)
**Player**: (Due to his identity, Grancy cannot help Kong directly, which means, he can help Kong indirectly!)
**Kong**: Player, what's the matter?
**Player**: (I'd better not let Kong know that Grancy's helping us in case he gets distracted...)
**Player**: It's nothing! If this artifact is real, let's not think too much about it!
**Player**: The most important thing right now is to come up with a plan to rescue Bernard!
**Kong**: Yeah! As for the rescue...
**Kong**: I've already got a plan!!
*Choice 1.2 - Kong, do you have a plan to rescue Bernard?*
**Kong**: Hehe, I've been planning for a long time!
*Conversation continues after choices*
**Player**: Hold on! You are not going to give the artifact to the Shadow priest, are you?
**Kong**: Of course not!
**Kong**: By giving it to him, I would fall right into his trap, wouldn't I?
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: Our mercenary band would never work for that Shadow again!
**Kong**: So!
**Kong**: My plan is to split up into two teams...
**Kong**: I will take the artifact with me to negotiate with the Shadow.
**Kong**: Meanwhile, you guys will break into the lower level of the Shadow base!
**Kong**: I'm sure he would keep Brother Bernard close to him.
**Kong**: When I see Brother Bernard, I will summon a clone in the lower ground and mark his location...
**Kong**: Then you break the ceiling where the mark is and let Brother Bernard climb out...
**Kong**: You save Brother Bernard. Mission complete!
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Wow!! Did you really come up with this plan? It sounds legit!
**Player**: Hold on! After we save Bernard, what are you going to do?
**Player**: The priest will surely seal the hole when he notices Bernard...
**Player**: You won't be able to escape through that hole!
**Kong**: Hey, don't worry about me! I have my own way to break through!
**Player**: What is it?
**Kong**: Well...
**Kong**: Grab the artifact and run!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: Haha, I feel this one is more like Kong's idea...
**Kong**: Hey! What do you mean?
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: Hold on! Doesn't it sound too easy?
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: That priest is the most difficult enemy I've ever met...
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: He not only understands the ability of every one of us...
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: But he's cautious, sophisticated, and cunning.
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: Before, our mercenary band was fooled by him...
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: So, I bet he's already guessed our strategy would be to split into two teams!
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: Many troops will be deployed at the lower level of the base. Infiltration will not be easy!
**Kong**: I don't have any other way...
**Kong**: I also want to break through head on and teach him a lesson...
**Kong**: But, with those giant Shadow Beasts here, even I won't be able to attack head on.
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: That's right...
**Player**: I think Kong's plan sounds good!
**Player**: Being cautious and cunning are the strengths of the priest, and also his weaknesses!
**Player**: He certainly wouldn't expect Kong to take the real artifact to him alone!
**Player**: Seeing Kong, he would think that's a trap! He would think the Shadowhunters' troops have surrounded him.
**Player**: I bet he'll send troops to look for the Shadowhunter's siege units!
**Player**: We can take this opportunity to break into the lower ground of the base!
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: Well, that's a good idea! We've solved the problem of breaking into the lower floor...
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: Another problem - Kong needs to summon a clone in the lower levels when he sees Bernard...
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: If he summons the clone in front of the Shadow priest, surely he'll notice!
**Player**: Well... Then take advantage of his second weakness: greed!
**Player**: The Shadow priest took Bernard hostage...
**Player**: By capturing Bernard, I guess he's trying to get his hands on the 'Crystal of Ka'. Even if he can't get it, as long as he kills Bernard, the Shadowhunters would suffer a great loss...
**Kong**: I will never let him do that!
**Player**: of course! If at that time...
**Player**: If you suggest to join him and work for him, Kong...
**Player**: He would more or less hesitate...
**Kong**: Join him? The Shadow?
**Player**: Of course, it's just an act!
**Player**: The Shadowhunters refuse to rescue Bernard. You hate their guts...
**Player**: You want to get revenge on the Shadowhunters... Just make up some stories about it!
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: I don't think he'll believe it...
**Player**: It doesn't matter whether he believes it or not! As he's considering it...
**Player**: Helped by the powerful energy flow of the 'Crystal of Ka'...
**Player**: Kong summons his clone in the lower level and marks Bernard's location!
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: Well! It sounds like a great plan!
**Player**: Kong, your performance skill is the key to success!
**Kong**: Okay!
**Kong**: I can do it!!
**Kong**: Do you have any other questions?
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: I'm fine!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: If Fire Lizard is fine, Hawk and I are fine too!
*Choice 2.1 - One more question!*
**Kong**: Huh?
**Player**: After rescuing Bernard, your evacuation plan...
**Kong**: ...
**Kong**: All I said, I'll pick up the artifact and run!
**Player**: But, with the shadowbeast and the priest there...
**Player**: Is it really going to be so easy for you to run away?
**Kong**: Don't worry! You can count on Master Kong!
**Player**: ...
**Kong**: So that's the plan. Let's go!!
**Kong**: We must save Brother Bernard!!
*Choice 2.2 - No I'm fine too!*
**Kong**: Well, the plan has been confirmed...
**Kong**: Let's go! We must save Brother Bernard no matter what!!
*Scene - The Shadow base*
*A few hours later, in the lower ground of the Shadow base...*
*The team hides from view as they scout the base*
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Hey, I mean... There are only a few of them. Let's go get them!
**Player**: No! We'll spook the enemy if we do that! We'll put Kong in a very dangerous situation!
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Is that a big deal?
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: Be patient!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: We'll take action when they move!
*After a while...*
*A Shadow Mage runs up to the group of Shadow forces that the team have been spying on*
**Shadow Mage**: This is the order from the hierophant! Search the nearby area for the enemy's reinforcements!
**Shadows**: Yes!
*The Shadows disperse*
**Player**: It seems that Kong has begun to negotiate with the Shadow hierophant!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: It's showtime!
*Player and the mercenary band come out of hiding*
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: Everything went according to plan. Next, let's find the room directly below the core area!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: I'll find the way!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: Follow me!
*A moment later...*
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: I didn't expect the plan to go so well...
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Since when has Kong become so smart?
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: After all, he came up with this plan after shutting himself in for more than ten days!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: I feel like I wouldn't be able to come up with such a good plan even if you lock me up for a year!
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: That's why you are 'Dumb Bear'! Haha!
**Player**: ...
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: What's wrong, Player?
**Player**: Ah... Nothing
**Player**: I'm worried...
**Player**: About Kong's evacuation plan after we rescue Bernard...
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: Don't worry, although Kong doesn't look very reliable, he will always keep his promise!
**Player**: But you've fought with the giant shadowbeast before...
**Player**: It won't be easy to escape from the monster.
**Player**: Plus, the Shadow hierophant must've prepared a lot of monsters like that!!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: So, you mean... Kong will be in danger?
**Player**: I don't know. I just don't know how he's going to get out...
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Well, we can't give him any suggestions now anyway... Let's just trust him!
**Player**: ...
**Player**: Haha, you are right!
*One of Kong's clones appears next to Player*
**Player**: Kong's clone!!
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: So Kong must have seen Bernard!
*The clone walks to a specific spot in the room*
**Player**: Here! This must be Bernard's location!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: Come on! Let's get ready for the bomb!!!
*A moment later...*
*The mercenary band and Player prepare a bomb that will help free Bernard in the room above them*
*The sound of a blast goes off above them*
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: It seems something strange happened up there!
**Player**: Don't get distracted. Let's leave what happened up there to Kong. And let's get ready for the bomb!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: Almost there!
**Player**: ...
**Player**: I'm done here!
**Swordsman "Armor Bear"**: I'm done too!
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: I'm ready!
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Do it, Fire Lizard!
**Mage "Fire Lizard"**: Everyone stand back!!!
*The bomb goes off and they manage to rescue Bernard*
**Bernard**: Whoa!!
**Player**: We did it!
**"Hawk Eye" Gunner**: Great!!!
**Bernard**: Kong! Kong is up there!
**Bernard**: Let's run!!!
**Player**: Run... Run?
*Scene - The Shadow base, entrance*
*Earlier that day, at the entrance to the Shadow base...*
**Shadow Guard A**: Who is it?
**Kong**: It's me...
**Shadow Guard A**: Oh, it's Kong!
**Shadow Guard B**: Master Hierophant is really a prophet!
**Shadow Guard B**: Did you bring what Lord Hierophant wants?
**Kong**: Yes!
**Shadow Guard A**: Go in then!
**Shadow Guard B**: Don't you dare try any tricks! A rock man like you can't beat Lord Hierophant!
**Kong**: ...
*Kong goes to the Shadow Hierophant's room*
*The Shadow Hierophant has multiple giant Shadow Beasts and Shadow Mages assembled*
**Shadow Hierophant**: Kong, you really came!
**Shadow Hierophant**: And you came alone...
**Shadow Hierophant**: Should I call you brave or stupid?
*The Shadow hierophant whispers to his men...*
**Shadow Mage**: Yes, sir!
*One of the Shadow Mages walks off*
**Shadow Hierophant**: But...
**Shadow Hierophant**: You've come just at the right moment. I'm inspecting my giant shadowbeasts!
**Kong**: I'm not interested in them!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Right, right...
**Shadow Hierophant**: You're here for your old officer.
**Kong**: Bastard! Where's my Brother Bernard?!!!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Hey, watch your attitude!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Let me make your current situation clear to you.
**Shadow Hierophant**: Bernard's fate is in my hands, even if you don't give me the 'Crystal of Ka'...
**Shadow Hierophant**: As long as I kill the bear, I can make the Shadowhunters suffer.
**Shadow Hierophant**: To me, there's no way I can lose!
**Shadow Hierophant**: But, to you...
**Shadow Hierophant**: You might get your old officer killed!
**Shadow Hierophant**: So, be nice to me! Rock head!
**Kong**: Hmm...
**Kong**: Alright!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Did you bring the 'Crystal of Ka' with you?
**Kong**: I need to see Brother Bernard first!!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Don't worry! He's still alive!
**Shadow Hierophant**: If you dare to bring me a fake 'Crystal of Ka'...
**Shadow Hierophant**: I'll kill him in front of you!
**Kong**: ...
*Kong shows the Crystal of Ka to the Shadow Hierophant*
**Shadow Hierophant**: !!
**Shadow Hierophant**: This!
**Shadow Hierophant**: It's the real... Crystal of Ka!!!
**Shadow Hierophant**: I didn't expect... You... You to really steal it?!
**Kong**: I need to see Brother Bernard!
**Shadow Hierophant**: ...
*The Shadow hierophant gestures to his men...*
**Shadow Priest**: Yes, Lord Hierophant!
*The Shadow Priests dispel the illusion hiding Bernard in an arcana prison*
**Bernard**: Hm...
**Bernard**: !!!
**Kong**: Brother Bernard!!
**Bernard**: Kong! What are you doing here!
**Kong**: I told you!
**Kong**: I'll come back and save you!
**Bernard**: Idiot! This is a trap!
**Bernard**: Go now! Leave me alone!
**Kong**: I'm not running away again!
**Bernard**: What?
**Kong**: Trap... Of course I know it's a trap!
**Kong**: So what?
**Kong**: Even if it's a trap, I must save you, Brother Bernard!!
**Bernard**: Idiot! You're going to die for nothing!
**Bernard**: Kong, I don't want to lose a brother!
**Kong**: Brother Bernard...
**Kong**: I don't want to lose you either!
**Kong**: Brother Bernard, don't worry. I won't sacrifice my life for anything...
**Shadow Hierophant**: Captain Bernard, I feel like I should explain to you.
**Shadow Hierophant**: Mr. Kong and I are not enemies now...
**Shadow Hierophant**: Mr. Kong is my partner now!
**Bernard**: What? Don't try to divide us!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Captain Bernard, everything I said is true!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Right? Kong?
**Kong**: ...
**Bernard**: Kong?
**Shadow Hierophant**: In exchange for your life, Kong has brought me the Shadowhunters artifact, 'Crystal of Ka'!
**Bernard**: Crystal of Ka?!
**Bernard**: But that's a very important relic from the second Shadow war!
**Bernard**: Kong, is that true?
**Kong**: ...
**Shadow Hierophant**: Captain Bernard, you should've felt the Light Nexus from this artifact!
**Bernard**: Kong... What's going on?
**Kong**: I must save you, Brother Bernard. I don't care about anything else!
**Bernard**: You don't care?
**Kong**: Hey! Shadow! It is yours now! Let go of Brother Bernard!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Wise choice! Give me the artifact first!
**Bernard**: Kong! Don't give the Crystal of Ka to the Shadows!
**Bernard**: Once the Shadow gets the Crystal of Ka, they'll break through the Dragon Mountain defense...
**Bernard**: Shadowhunters' efforts for thousands of years will be in vain!
**Bernard**: Kong!
**Kong**: ...
**Shadow Hierophant**: Someone bring me the crystal!
**Shadow Soldier**: Yes! Your highness!
**Kong**: Hold on!
**Shadow Hierophant**: What?
**Kong**: I can give the artifact to you. But I have two conditions!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Well...
**Shadow Hierophant**: (anyway, the artifact is not going to run away. I'll see what he's going to say...)
**Shadow Hierophant**: Say it! I can make it happen.
**Kong**: First, after you get the crystal, you must ensure the safety of Brother Bernard!
**Bernard**: !!
**Shadow Hierophant**: I can promise you that. With this crystal, the Shadowhunters won't be able to stop us anyway!
**Shadow Hierophant**: I don't mind keeping Captain Bernard there...
**Kong**: Secondly, I want to take revenge on the Shadowhunters. Please let me join your army!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Oh?!
**Bernard**: What... What?! On the Shadowhunters...
**Bernard**: Kong! What are you talking about?!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Interesting, interesting!
**Shadow Hierophant**: A little fan of the Shadowhunters now wants to take revenge on the Shadowhunters!!! Really interesting!
*While the Shadow hierophant is excited at the news, Kong uses arcana to summon his clone...*
**Kong**: Brother Bernard, after you were captured by the Shadow, I once tried to find the Shadowhunters...
**Kong**: However... The Shadowhunters high command only played the blame game...
**Kong**: In the end, they used the excuse that the rescue involves too many troops and considered you unworthy of the effort!
**Kong**: Brother Bernard, they treat you like a pawn!
**Kong**: Brother Bernard... These are the true colors of the Shadowhunters which you swore your loyalty to!
**Bernard**: !!
**Bernard**: Kong... I respect the decision of the Shadowhunters' high command!
**Bernard**: I am prepared to sacrifice myself for the Shadowhunters!
**Bernard**: I don't want my brother to be sacrificed because of me!
**Bernard**: Please... Don't blame the Shadowhunters...
**Kong**: But... You are my Brother Bernard!
**Kong**: I've lived for so many years and met so many people...
**Kong**: Brother Bernard, you are the only one who really accepts me, the trouble-making Son of Rock...
**Kong**: Brother Bernard, you were the first one who was willing to be my brother!
**Kong**: How can the Shadowhunters... give up on you...
**Kong**: I will not accept that!!
**Bernard**: Kong!
**Bernard**: Leave me alone... Run with the artifact!
**Bernard**: If the Shadows get this artifact, the entire Luxium will suffer!
**Kong**: Brother Bernard, as long as you are alive... I don't care!
**Bernard**: Kong!!!
**Shadow Hierophant**: I see...
**Shadow Hierophant**: Kong, I'll accept you in my team!
**Shadow Hierophant**: No, I should say... Welcome back to my team!
**Kong**: ...
**Bernard**: Kong! Kong! I won't allow you to do that!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Captain Bernard, you should be more open-minded!
**Shadow Hierophant**: You may be the only person who's close with the Son of Rock but manages to survive!
**Bernard**: ...
**Kong**: Please... allow me to dedicate this 'Crystal of Ka' to you...
**Shadow Hierophant**: You may!
**Bernard**: Kong! Wait! This is not you! Don't join the Shadow!
*Kong walks towards the Shadow Hierophant*
**Kong**: ...
**Kong**: Hehe!
**Kong**: Don't worry! Brother Bernard!
**Bernard**: Kong?
**Kong**: ...
**Kong**: Maybe... 'Son of Rock' is really a curse...
**Kong**: Everyone who has anything to do with me...
**Kong**: Will suffer in all sorts of ways!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Haha, I didn't expect you to know yourself so well!
**Shadow Hierophant**: However, people who are related to you are not just unlucky!
**Shadow Hierophant**: First, your fellow tribesmen were displaced because of you...
**Shadow Hierophant**: And then your mercenary band was locked up for months because of you...
**Shadow Hierophant**: In the future, the Shadowhunters will be destroyed because of your betrayal!
**Shadow Hierophant**: To be your companions, Kong...
**Shadow Hierophant**: Is the worst thing in the world!
**Shadow Hierophant**: However, since you are willing to change your ways...
**Shadow Hierophant**: Don't worry too much about your identity!
**Kong**: Is that it?
**Kong**: I don't think my curse...
**Kong**: Will simply go away because I follow you now!
**Bernard**: !!
**Shadow Hierophant**: What are you trying to do?
**Kong**: Nothing... I just need to make sure...
**Kong**: If you can stand my curse?
**Shadow Hierophant**: Oh? The giant shadowbeast army is right behind me!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Do you think you can do whatever you want because you've joined me?
**Kong**: No, no...
*Kong weighs his Crimson King in his hand...*
**Kong**: I'm just thinking... What would happen if my Crimson King reaches all the way to the sky...
**Kong**: After all, I'm the super duper mighty Master Kong!
**Bernard**: Reaches all the way to the sky?
**Bernard**: Do you!!!
**Bernard**: Kong! Stop it!
**Shadow Hierophant**: ?
*Kong takes in the Crystal of Ka's power*
**Shadow Hierophant**: !!
**Bernard**: Kong! Stop it!!!
**Bernard**: You are going to die!!!
**Kong**: If I inject all the flux from this crystal into my Crimson King...
**Kong**: It will become a tower higher than the sky!
**Kong**: Maybe it will be a tower that the entire Luxium will see!
**Kong**: That way, everyone in Luxium will know about me, Master Kong!
**Kong**: How amazing!!
**Bernard**: Kong! Stop it!!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Humph... you think you are so clever?!
*The flux radiated by the Crystal of Ka deflects the Shadow hierophant's attack...*
**Shadow Hierophant**: What?
**Kong**: Hehe! Brother Bernard! Thank you for everything!
**Bernard**: Kong! Please stop it!
**Kong**: That way...
**Kong**: All the curses brought by the 'Son of Rock'...
**Kong**: Will go away together!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Kong! If you do that, you do it! Your big stick will not only destroy this place...
**Shadow Hierophant**: Your old officer Bernard will get killed by you, too!
**Kong**: No! You are the only one to take all my curses!
**Kong**: Shadow thug!! Go to hell!!
*The ground where Bernard's standing suddenly collapses...*
**Bernard**: No!!
**Bernard**: Kong!!!!
