* Unfrozen
* Iceberg
* Nature Spirit
Iceman

**Iceman:** STOP THIS! STOP!

**Lord Protector:** Sorry what? This unique specimen requires... Extraction from the ice.

**Iceman:** You can't do that! It's way too dangerous!

**Lord Protector:** Dangerous is my second nature.

...

**Lord Protector:** You're out cold, iceman.

**Iceman:** Please, think for a moment... You know nothing about this creature you're trying to revive.

**Lord Protector:** He's just a poor fella trapped in the ice. I wanna help, is all.Dryad

**Lord Protector:** Okay, the unfreezing procedure is complete. Now let's... Hey. Aren't you supposed to be somewhere else?

**Dryad:** Like, in the forest, maybe?

**Dryad:** I came here to warn you. Leave this creature as it is. Don't unfreeze it.

**Lord Protector:** Too late. It's done.

**Dryad:** No... Stupid fool. What have you done?!

...

**Lord Protector:** What's wrong with everybody? I'm just trying to help.

**Lord Protector:** My loyal butler has almost finished the revival procedure...

**Dryad:** You've doomed us all, Lord Protector...Unfrozen

**Lord Protector:** Hey, butler guy! Where are you? Oh... Hello. Do you speak Common?

**Unfrozen:** I... Where am I? Who are you? Are you the one who zapped me?

**Lord Protector:** Zapped you?

**Unfrozen:** Well, at least now I'm awake... And I'm ready for murder!

...

**Lord Protector:** My goodness, you made some folks... Attack me... But how?

**Lord Protector:** Something tells me you're a bad guy.

**Unfrozen:** Do I look like a bad guy?

**Lord Protector:** Sure you do, mate. Now stay down. I can't let you walk until I realize who you are exactly.Iceberg

**Iceberg:** Give me the creature. It is not too late to return him to his normal state. Frozen state!

**Lord Protector:** No can do, mate. I need to study him. Maybe some magic is involved...

**Iceberg:** Every minute we waste on talking, this creature grows stronger.

**Iceberg:** I can't miss this opportunity. The creature dies!

...

**Lord Protector:** How you feelin' now, ice-cream?

**Iceberg:** Don't be a fool. He's going to kill you. There's nothing you can do.

**Lord Protector:** We'll see about that.Nature Spirit

**Lord Protector:** You hate me, I get it. Now please, leave.

**Nature Spirit:** It is my responsibility to protect the forest realm.

**Nature Spirit:** And this... Thing... Poses a great danger to the current state of my realm as well.

**Nature Spirit:** If you don't kill him... Then it's my duty to ensure the safety of everyone on Pangea.

...

**Lord Protector:** Okay, enough. I'm going to put this creature into a cryochamber... Wait. Where is he?
### Chapter 2

* Troglodyte
* Adviser
* Tree Guardian
* Sea Monster
* Therapist
Troglodyte

**Lord Protector:** Okay, mate. I'm going to put you back to cryostasis.

**Troglodyte:** I'm not going back.

**Lord Protector:** I wasn't asking.

...

**Troglodyte:** You don't get it. I can't be frozen anymore. I'm evolving with each minute...

**Troglodyte:** And soon I'll become unbeatable!

**Lord Protector:** Well, that's bad... Really bad.Adviser

**Adviser:** Well, well, well. Our dear Lord Protector caused us a new trouble.

**Lord Protector:** Shut up.

**Adviser:** Perhaps, I could give you some sort of advice... But I'd rather not.Tree Guardian

**Lord Protector:** You were right. I should have listened to you. It was a mistake.

**Tree Guardian:** Finally you hear the voice of reason. We must act quickly. Terminate this son of a...

**Lord Protector:** No. We are not going to terminate him. He's the last of his species.

**Tree Guardian:** You're such a softie, Lord Protector. That's why you'll lose eventually.

...

**Lord Protector:** Guess this time I won't lose neither.

**Tree Guardian:** You're so full of yourself.

**Lord Protector:** Glad you've enjoyed our battle. Now I must attend to a more urgent matter...Sea Monster

**Lord Protector:** Hey, tooth fairy. Let's break the ice.

**Sea Monster:** So now you're making fun of me?

**Lord Protector:** It's what I do. First, I make a big mistake... Then I just laugh.

**Sea Monster:** You humans are so hysterical. Someone must shut you up.

...

**Lord Protector:** Good job surviving our brawl.

**Lord Protector:** What do you say if we hit the road and get back to the lab...

**Lord Protector:** So I could put you back into a coma?

**Sea Monster:** We're not done yet, Lord Protector. A funny name, by the way.

**Lord Protector:** I know. If only I could choose another one. Any ideas?

**Sea Monster:** Lord Failure, for example?Therapist

**Therapist:** I know we must fight but... I just need some therapy, man.

**Lord Protector:** He's constantly evolving. I barely have coins to rent the Battle Chamber. Do you know how expensive that is?

**Therapist:** What do you expect from me? Pity?

**Lord Protector:** Ouch! That's cold even for you, iceman!

...

**Lord Protector:** Okay, let's ask a few questions... If you don't mind.

**Lord Protector:** First, what does this monster want? Seems like you know him way better than I do.

**Therapist:** He was born in Bensalem, the Underwater Kingdom. A millenia ago he ruled the place.

**Therapist:** But his desire to wage war against humanity... It didn't get too many fans, you know.

**Therapist:** So they banished him. Sent him away. And he was stuck in the middle of the Infinite Ocean.

**Lord Protector:** Poor fella. But I guess he wants to get revenge. Probably heading to Bensalem as we speak.

**Therapist:** Ha. He's already been there. Trashed that place. And you, Lord Protector, will never stop him now.

**Lord Protector:** Bensalem is in ruins. I know I made a mistake but we need to act as a team, if we wanna survive.

**Lord Protector:** On the other hand... Maybe if I turn you in...

**Lord Protector:** ...Damn.

...

**Lord Protector:** Look. We can make things right again.

**Lord Protector:** All I ever wanted was to help... To save everybody.

**Devious:** Yeah, right.

**Lord Protector:** You don't believe me.

**Devious:** Why should I? Every time you get this brilliant idea... People suffer.

**Lord Protector:** The monster didn't kill anyone.

**Devious:** Actually, he did. He stepped on an anthill.

**Lord Protector:** He didn't kill anyone IMPORTANT.

**Devious:** Ants are important.

**Lord Protector:** Okay, fine. I'm gonna do something on my own.Evolution

**Evolution:** The world as you've known it is coming to an end, Lord Protector...

**Lord Protector:** I think I'm gonna cry. Oh. Wait. Not me, you are!

**Evolution:** Jokes... As usual. But your sense of humor is not as good as you might think.

**Lord Protector:** At least, I have a sense of fashion, dirtbag.

...

**Evolution:** Impressive.

**Lord Protector:** Thank you.

**Lord Protector:** No, thank you. Now I have enough power to turn the entire Pangea against you. Enjoy.Popsicle

**Lord Protector:** Look, we have a common goal.

**Popsicle:** Friends? Okay. What's my name?

**Lord Protector:** Your name? Well, it's easy. Your name is... Um...

**Lord Protector:** ...

**Lord Protector:** ...Popsicle?

**Lord Protector:** Yeah, but... Okay, I see your point.

...

**Popsicle:** My name is Grundelar Folkenstein The Third.

**Lord Protector:** Can I call you Grun?

**Popsicle:** My friends call me Grun. But I don't have any, so call me Lord Folkenstein of Saint Nordstadt.

**Lord Protector:** What you said. Let's shake hands, shall we?

**Popsicle:** Nope.

**Lord Protector:** Why not?

**Popsicle:** If we shake hands, you'll get frostbite. We don't need that.

**Lord Protector:** Yeah. Right.L'Horna

**Lord Protector:** Are you ready to suffer?

**L'Horna:** I'm always suffering... By listening to all this.

**Lord Protector:** Very well. SQUAD, TAKE 'EM DOWN!

...

**Lord Protector:** Wanna do a rematch?

**L'Horna:** No. You were very persuasive.

**Lord Protector:** Nice. Then let's go take the beast down. Together.

**L'Horna:** What do you say if we just kill him? Nobody will ever know.

**Lord Protector:** Sorry. I have a code against killing.Deep Maw

**Deep Maw:** Ah! Lord Failure! Nice of you to pay me a visit! Been expecting you!

**Deep Maw:** Are you here to talk me into something stupid again?

**Lord Protector:** No. I'm here to beat your butt.

...

**Lord Protector:** Dizzy? Must be the concussion. Then again, how would you know? You have no brain.

**Deep Maw:** That's a good one...

**Deep Maw:** Anyway, you've won.

**Deep Maw:** ...Lock me up. No prison will ever hold me.

**Lord Protector:** Who said anything about prison? No, I have another offer.

**Lord Protector:** Your skills will be very helpful in whatever comes next. I want you to join my mighty party.

**Deep Maw:** Now that's hilarious!

**Lord Protector:** That's an order!
