Episode 225 - Defenders of Nareev

The Temple of Soloni stands in front of our brave heroes. A thought scratches at the back of each of their minds – are we ready to face the defenders of this sacred place? What terrible defenders block our way? Luckily, past these doors the means to move Nareev will finally be in their hands. This whole goopy mess can put behind them and the traitor Jett Razor can be punished.

## **Story**

Toby searches the Trox for parts, and takes some quills from its back and the mask. They can hear Yazdir Dosh fucking shit up in the distance. Eleanor tells them to run, so they run toward the Temple of Soloni. As they run, they discuss gods, and Steve attempts to contact Uthgar. He is not very helpful. They pass by a group of Nareevians using a *Game of Thrones* scorpion, and Toby, enraged by the anticlimactic reveal, spooks them with a giant bat.

They finally reach the Temple of Soloni, and find it guarded by another Trox wearing a red mask. Then a green masked Trox arrives, and a blue masked one, and a yellow masked one. They all morph together to form a giant Voltrox! Toby changes Aludra into a T-Rex again, so it is a battle of the Kaiju, as they are now the same size. This doesn't last long, however, as it quickly reduces her back to Aludra form. Then, Jaela calls Yazdir, Steve enlarges her, and she slams into the Voltrox, crashing through the ground and sending them both falling to the ground below.

## **Trivia**

* For those who didn't get it, the Voltrox is a reference to Voltron. It was very clever.
