Return To Zewishku

After years of hiding, Scoro and Drynder return to their homeworld of Zewishku, the homeworld of Zewinsaurs, draconian lizards that can use elemental breath like built-in blasters using their quantum breath. Each color of the dragon indicates the kind of elemental magic breath they can use: the primary colors of element are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Red can use fire and heat, orange can use light and energy, yellow can use electricity and power, green can use earth or matter, blue can use ice and water, and purple can use plasma and spacetime. Mixtures of these colors can allow a Zewinsaur and their element to be combined in many ways. Now they can breath lasers, pulse blasts, wormholes, electrobeams, disintegrative blasts, atomic energy, hardlight, electromagnetism, magnetism, explosive blasts, radiation or nuclear energy, acid, and so on. Also, the brightness and darkness of the color can indicate how strong the Zewinsaur can potentially be. But white Zewinsaurs and black Zewinsaurs are special. They can use all of them, but they are both on the opposite spectrums. White Zewinsaurs can use the elements in many ways using light magic. Black Zewinsaurs do it with dark magic. But Grey Zewinsaurs, like Drynder, can use both light and dark magic, and the most legendary breed that can use all elemental magic and all forms of magic is Scoro's breed, the Chrome Zewinsaur. Though Zewinsaurs are a pure race and cannot become evil, only one has proven that this purity can be bypassed: Malefice, a Chrome Zewinsaur, and the first of his kind, who sold his purity for the power to stop an invincible threat, and aimed to keep that from occurring again via the Fate-Shaping, a mythical capability of a Zewinsaur to reshape the world, making it a new one by destroying it, which was not possible as it required the touch of evil, which was nonexistent before Malefice. Thus Scoro and Drynder both defeated him before they were roped into trouble with the Villain Legion. Now the Loungers have returned to find out what Zewishku became, and even found that his homeland is changed to look like Avalar and the Forgotten Realms of the original Spyro games. They make friends with newcomers like a Vedger working for Oxydome named Doc Voltson, a cervine Axirlan named Ala, a tribal hunting daredevil leopard-spotted Mekkan named Devlon, an extortionist Bade from a wealthy family named Mister Banks, a Fluthopper friend of Drynder's named Trizz, a Zrix former princess named Cloe, a Vorax commando capable of flight named Waine, a carefree and cocky Parslia ranger named Foote, a rough Grasssus named Grasley, a genetically-engineered Cuimpzee agent named Ops, and a Stalik magician named Susannah. They learn that there's a powerful threat called Escalengon, a large powerful Anthrocorn who seeks to take all elemental Zewinsaur magic on the planet, and has so far taken over the broken crystal land of Availar. He turns many Zewinsaurs into crystal and has plans with the Villain Legion to target the capital. But little does anyone realize that Escalengon is possessed by the disembodied soul of Malefice, who aims to take over Zewishku since it's new setting is still new even after all these years, and still ripe for world domination. Now the Loungers must free Escalengon from Malefice and defeat him for good.

## Scenes

### **Prologue**

Dragon Realms

* Spyro: (They sent several LoS thieves flying straight into a prison with charge attacks)... Wow. Scoro, you're a natural.
* Scoro: It's a gift. You're not so bad yourself... You know... For a copy of me.
* Spyro: Copy is, kinda subjective. I'd say a copy if I'm you from another timeline, but I'm you from another dimension. Also, I had heard talk that the OUU was born first, so-
* Scoro: "Okay, then I like to consider my united universe to be, a complimentary improvement to your rustic society."
* Spyro: "(Rolls eyes with a playful laugh), Whatever helps you feel confident in yourself."
* Sparx: I hardly see a difference besides the series of events and the setting.
* Buzzy: (Now fully recovered) Dude, there's a BIG difference.
* Sparx: Oh hush up, alternate me. I know you're not actually a part of the Lounge, but frankly you should.
* Buzzy: Well, I'm just not cut out for it. Also, unlike Spyro, Scoro doesn't really need me to protect him. He's a Chrome Zewinsaur.
* Spyro:... A Chrome Zewinsaur?
* Scoro:... Wait, you guys HAVE been to Zewishku, right?
* Spyro: Well, a few times. Quidilin had to go there one time for some malarkey involving a rite-of-passage and what not.
* Scoro:... Did you even learn about us?
* Spyro: Yeah. I mean, you guys are like dragons that can shoot lasers and plasma, like reptilian sci-fi guns.
* Scoro:... While not inaccurate, we're SO MUCH MORE than that! We are more complex then you would think, Spy!
* ???: Hey, hon! (Drynder and Cynder appeared)
* Cynder: I still can't get over this mod where they put ME in the Reignited Trilogy, and gave me a... Kinda cute hornet companion named Frizz. (Deadpan) Pity it's not official though, cause that's kinda always been the thing with mods.
* Drynder:... Riight. Way to side-track the conversation there, Cyn. Ahem, Anyway, guys? The Lodgers want us to come back.
* Scoro: Yeah, I'll explain when we get there.
* Cynder:... Explain what?

Dragon Temple

* Scoro: That our color breeds are a bit more complicated than that of the dragons in this world. Don't get me wrong, it's similar. But there's more to it.
* Spyro: Kinda figured.
* Buzzy: Yeah, in essence, you're not actually dracthons, or 'dragons' in this dimension as they're called. You're all still lizards that evolved wings and learned to use mana as a defense mechanism.
* Sparx: Same difference... Ish.
* SpongeBob:... Well, it wouldn't be a Season 1 Episode of you guys without you telling us another one of your origin adventures. Tell us more.
* Scoro:... Sometimes that 'meta' talk confuses me, but okay. You see, Zewinsaurs are creatures that are indeed described as 'living guns'. But that depends on the color you're born with. If you're red, you can breath fire and heat. If you're orange, you can breath light and energy. If you're yellow, you can breath electricity and power. If you're green, you can breath earth and matter. If you're blue, you can breath ice and water. And if you're purple, you can breath plasma or spacetime. Indeed a farcry from you guys. But, if you breed these six colors, you can create new types of breaths. And yes, these DO include what you associate with sci-fi blasters. So, yeah, we Zewinsaurs didn't need to invent any weapons because we were ALREADY weapons. And as for technology, as you've likely seen, we were restricted to a Teadr 5 society and had tech-magic.
* SpongeBob:... Well... Do you have the answers as to why Zewishku looked like ancient ruins everywhere you went?
* Icky: Or like that Crystal Isles DLC on Ark? GOD, that looked so cool.
* Scoro:... Though not really sure what you mean by that, a matter of fact, yes. We have ALL the answers to that. It happened before we met the Loungers. Me and Drynder are legendary breeds. I'm a Chrome Dra- Eh, Zewinsaur, ugh, great, I'm gonna get those two confused now!
* Sandy: "Don't worry, we used to do that to Qui all the time back in the day."
* Scoro: Point is, I'm a Chrome and SHE is a Grey Zewinsaur. See, the brightness and darkness of a Zewinsaur's color indicates the strength of their elemental breath. But when you're a White Zewinsaur, you can use light magic at it's strongest. When you're a Black Zewinsaur, and before you say it, no racism intended!
* Haroud: None taken since your definition of it is broader than ours.
* Scoro: Can use black magic at it's strongest. Both White and Black Zewinsaurs are the strongest at magic power and can use all forms of elemental breaths, making them legendary breeds. But when you breed them both, you get a Grey Zewinsaur, which can use both light and dark magic.
* Merlin: In essence, an Equinox breed.
* Scoro: In a sense. But there are other legendary breeds. Rainbow Zewinsaurs use the unstable unpredictability of chaos magic. And then, there's MY breed. The Chrome Zewinsaurs. Nothing is known about how a Chrome Zewinsaur is born. It's beyond even the higher Zewinsaurs' understanding. But what is known is that Chrome Zewinsaurs can use all forms of elemental breaths AND all forms of magic.
* Fidget: So what does this have to do with what happened to the planet?
* Scoro: We're getting there.

Flashback

* (Scoro): The first Chrome Zewinsaur, Malefice, he was able to bust down threats in his youth and protected the world for centuries... Then a far too powerful threat called the Corelem came along and proved resistant to his power. With all hope lost for good, Malefice did something thought to be impossible. He stripped away his incorruptible nature and traded it for greater power. The power necessary to destroy the Corelem. And he did. But at a terrible cost.
* (Drynder): Without his incorruptible nature, which stems from the fact that our souls are located in our minds instead of our hearts, and thus allows the soul to take full control over the mind as the source of magic use and the very thing that knows the difference between right and wrong, Malefice was unable to think morally. He grew an obsession with making sure threats as strong as the Corelem never came again. So he devised the Fate-Shaping. This would create a new world, by ushering in it's destruction. Doing so would revert the planet to it's original state so that the surviving inhabitants, and the strongest, could remake it better. But this time, Malefice would be the one to decide where it would go.
* (Scoro): That couldn't happen. So when he returned from his imprisonment in the core long ago and rounded up an army of gnapes, we had to stop him when his power grew too big for the Zewinsaur elders. Though we were too late to keep the planet from being torn apart, we were able to defeat Malefice, even when, as the first Chrome Zewinsaur, he was the most experienced of any other. He almost killed us. But we were able to kill him. When we realized that we hadn't the power to restore the world, we decided that if we were to die, we would do it together. We confessed our love and that ended up giving me the strength to pull the world back together. THAT is why Zewishku looks torn apart.
* (Spyro): So basically, he's an AUU Malefor?
* (Scoro): So I figured. But yes, that was roughly 10 years ago, as we got married and lived on. After that, the Villain Legion took Drynder, seemingly killed Buzzy, and left me on my own... Until you all showed up in my life and changed it.
* (Icky/Jokey): "Yer welcome....."
* (Jokey): "AHEM! Though personally we Loungers did abit more while you guys are only around for storytime!"
* (Icky): "Well you kinda came to him late into the game, so-"
* (Scoro): "POINT BEING, for better or for worse, I couldn't've asked for a better way to recover from a seemingly irrecoverable tragedy.

Present

* Scoro:... But the sad thing was... When the Loungers did so and rescued Drynder from her recorruption... I missed out on what happened to Zewishku.
* Lola: Yeah, I was gonna say, have you been there since Drynder was saved again?
* Scoro: Not for a while... But that changed after our... Interesting vacation on Harbanisan.
* Buzzy: "Interesting being a stretch. It was more like the exact opposite of a vacation!"
* Scoro: Well, aside from the forced workout, that IS by definition a vacation to a hero.... But yeah, we figured a better vacation would be spent THERE.

### **Return to Zewishku**

Space

* Scoro: Ahhh, we're home.
* Drynder: (Deep breath)... They must've been lost without us.
* Sonny: Well, aside from the controversy brought on by Qui back in the VA days and an attempted assassination of her, yeah, it's been good.
* Scoro:... (Sighs) This is going to be a painful vacation.
* Numma: More painful than the last one?
* Scoro: YES! GHAH! Let's just go. (They landed the Oxydome in a crystal waterland filled with forests and crystals, land reefs, and flying islands)
* Jokey: "(Whistles)..... Makes the planet I'm from look like Post-Cheesepuffus Pharagu."
* Cephward: "Abit of an aggressive comparison, don't ya think?"
* Scoro: Well, there's better-looking planets, I'm sure, but hey, it's home.
* Drynder:... So... THIS is supposed to be your homeland?
* Scoro: Yes. It was where I was raised by Buzzy's parents.
* Drynder:... You think they heard about Buzzy's death?
* Scoro: No. But, that's what... I wanted to get out of my chest first before retrying a vacation.
* ZongueBob: Seems like a pretty sad thing to start this next attempt of a vacation off with.
* Blinkly: I doubt there's even such a thing as a vacation as far as these cartoony cliches of villains not even giving you a break are concerned.
* Sonny: Don't remind me. Sau?
* Sau: On it. (She scanned the place)... This used to be Dracthonfly Glades. Now it's called... Pristine Glades. Wow. Nice naming.
* Sonny: Are Buzzy's parents still alive?
* Sau: (Scanning)... Yes. And I got their location. They're 7 miles northeast.
* ZongueBob: Wow. This place is beautiful.
* Atrick: It's a vast swirling wonderland of sparkling colorful pleasure. Let it fill your senses with cascading lights of excitement and beauty, as you've never felt before.
* ZongueBob: (Teary-eyed) Wow, Atrick! \*Sniff\* That was beautifu- That was on a candy bar, wasn't it?
* Atrick:... Well, I still remember it FROM the candy bar but it was said differently.
* Scoro:... (Deep breath)... Let's get this over with. Those two must've been worried about Buzzy too long, and they need to know the truth.
* (Buzzy): Wow. Just going to go in there with no tact, were you?
* (Scoro): Of course not! Why would I do that?
* (Buzzy): Just, you know, making sure.
* (Scoro): We went back to... Well... Home... Or what was left of it. (They saw the cottage he was raised in was turned into a big playground of dracthonflies and sparkling waters)
* Scoro:... Wow. Sad I wasn't raised in THIS! Would've been more fun.
* (Scoro): Though, as it turns out, I didn't have to say much.... They already knew what I was going to say.
* Buzzy's Dad: Scoro! Wow, it's been years.
* Scoro: Eheheh... Yeah...
* Buzzy's Mom: I, I'm so sorry. When we heard about Buzzy, we were, devastated.
* Scoro: Speaking of which, I don't know how to say-... Wait... You heard?
* Buzzy's Dad: Yeah. When we heard about it from the locals when your wife was corrupted... Well... We decided to move on with this new setting and have some more kids. (They saw all the buzzing young dracthonflies)
* (Buzzy): TIME THE F\*\*\* OUT!! I GOT MORE SIBBIES?!?
* (Scoro): You do now.
* (Buzzy): OKAY, I, AM, OUTTA HERE! I GOTTA MEET THEM!! (He was heard zooming off)

Present

* Spyro:... He wasn't even going to bother listening to the story? (Suddenly ZongueBob's oPhone rang and he answered)
* ZongueBob: Yellow?
* (Buzzy): While I'm on my way there, can you continue the story?
* Glora: Wow. Really?
* (Buzzy): If that's the fat Coppo, tell her to bite herself!
* Glora: WHY YOU LITTLE-
* (Buzzy): Whoa, don't smash the zongue's phone. You break it, you buy it.
* Glora:... Smartass.
* Scoro: Right?... Ahem. Back to the story...

Flashback

* Scoro: Wow! Buzzy's got brothers now. I bet he'd be ecstatic if he was still alive.
* (Buzzy): OKAY, THERE IS NO WAY YOU SAID THAT! COINCIDENCE AIN'T THAT ACCURATE!
* (Sparx): Here, it is, buster.
* (Buzzy): Oy.
* Buzzy's Dad: Yes he would. But... What have you all been up to since... That time? I can assume Drynder got her groove back.
* Buzzy's Mom: Yeah. And I can assume it's because of your... Friends, back there?
* Commander: Salutations. We're the Clam Loungers.
* Buzzy's Dad:... Wow. The Heroes Act REALLY decided to make a ripoff of the Lodgers?
* Scowalski: We're uh, not affiliated with the HA, nor is there any actual intention to mimic the Lougers. Though we are aware conveniences in appearance and name convention appear to complicate this. Though even if that was true, what can we say? Imitation IS the greatest form of flattery.
* (Sparx): Again, tell that to Viacom.
* Buzzy's Dad: "Well none the less, don't you think one set of Lougers is enough for two separate dimensional realities?"
* Sonny: "Why is it when we meet people it always starts with them calling us rip-offs?"
* Jokey: "The convenient appearances and name don't appear to be helping, Sea Squirrel."
* Sonny: Whatever! Look, we came to take a vacation. We tried to take one a week ago, and it ended up dealing with a dysfunctional family and an escaped alien experiment, AND a UIS incident.
* Buzzy's Mom:... Wow.
* Sonny: So, yeah, we'll need to crash somewhere less conspicuous, so we chose this place.
* Scoro: I did.
* Cephward: Yeah, because you felt this place was f\*\*\*\*d without you.
* Scoro: WELL CLEARLY IT'S NOT!
* Sanjay: Ahem. Everyone? Let's not make this about ourselves here. We came to take a vacation, and we're GONNA.
* Cephward: Oh, I doubt that.
* Scoro: WE'RE GONNA!... (Deep breath)...
* Buzzy's Dad:... You've been through a lot, haven't you?
* Scoro: Yes, I have.... Anywhere we can crash for our vacation?
* Buzzy's Mom: Yeah. You can try the Pellucid Shores overlooking the Effervescent Ocean.
* Sau:... Did the people who colonized this planet have a thesaurus on hand? Because WOW, it feels like they did.
* Elmen: Let's get back on the OD... Okay, that's not going to work, let's just say Oxydome, it's not that long.
* Buzzy's Mom: There's a portal right there. (They saw it)
* Scoro:... Well I'll be damned.
* Ajax: That's so convenient.
* Buzzy's Dad: It's for those who can't fly like us.
* Scoro: Heh. Clever thinking. Besides, the Oxydome CAN'T go unprotected.
* Sau: On it. (She hit the panic alarm and got the Oxydome to dunk itself in the glittering waters)
* Scoro:... Alright, let's go. First one there's a Gnape.
* Mangris: A what? (Sau looked it up and showed it as an orc-lizard-ape creature with a foghorn sound) AW CLUSTER NO!!!
* ZongueBob: IT'S ON, SHINY!! (They ran for the portal)
* Buzzy's Dad:... Our adopted kid hasn't changed much, has he?
* Buzzy's Mom: Nope.... I don't know if that's good or bad.
* Buzzy's Dad: I prefer to make due with the good of the bad.
* Buzzy's Mom:... This is why I love you.

Meanwhile...

* Cervine Axirlan:... So... Is it working, Doc?
* Vedger Scientist: Keep your antlers on, Ala, you can't rush science.
* Ala: Given how much of this dimension is sci-fi, I'm a little iffy on agreeing with that.
* Vedger Scientist: Those things took time, decades worth! Yes, there's inventions that negate the process, but there DID use to be times when we didn't had such luxuries, missy! Can you make a small robot out of a single old robot's head?
* Ala:... No.
* Vedger Scientist: Then that's all the agreement you need.
* Ala:... Touche.
* Mekkan: I, don't really think this is a good idea.
* Ala: Look, Devlon, there's nothing to worry about.
* Devlon: Do we really need to use this portal to bring in a Zewin? They're everywhere.
* Ala: Yeah, but they can't be brought in on such short notice.
* Devlon: But they have a strict policy in forcing people into others' problems. Especially since they see people using them as heroes for hire, as kind of a crime.
* Ala: What choice do we have otherwise?
* Devlon: A BIG ONE! I mean, you've seen the Doc's book. They got claws like THIS! And teeth like THIS! AND THEY SHOOT LASERS OUTTA THEIR MOUTHS LIKE THIS! PLEH! APLEH! APLEEEH!! (Ala winced from his spits)... If we force this on others, that's like asking for trouble.
* Ala: I'm not jovial about this either. But if it means we get help, then it's worth the risk. Since the guy we're dealing with hates Zewinsaurs, and for PRETTY good reason given he's got the disfigurement to show it, there's a PRETTY big chance that they'll thank us for reporting him.
* Devlon: "But I'm worried they'll multitask in going after us too on top of getting at HIM!"
* Vedger Scientist: She's got you there, Dev.... EUREKA! I GOT HER WORKING! (A bubble-like shield opened up and brought in the Loungers, of which while Scoro and Drynder landed find, the Loubfers crashed about looking like idiots)
* Jokey: "D'OW, SON OF A-"
* Pho: "OW, OWWWW?!"
* Atrick: "..... Did I win?"
* Scoro: WHOOOO, MY FEET ARE BURNING, BABY, THEY ARE BURNING, FIGURATIVELY AND LITERALLY!
* Drynder: Wow. That must've perked you up.
* Scoro: You bet! I finally get to take a vake! Alright, um, who here knows the way to the Pelluciiiiiidd... Beach? (They saw the Vedger Scientist, Ala, and Devlon)...
* Jokey: "..... What is this, Furry Conventiontiopia?"
* Cephward: ".... I'm being punished. I don't why or for what, but I'm being punished."
* Vedger Scientist: ".... Erm..... Well, at least we got TWO for the price of one.... Though personally the Zewins COULD'VE been a little more older."
* Ala: "Well, better than nothing. But what is up with the weirdo entourage?"
* Sonny: "Ya'll do know we can hear ya, right?"
* Scoro: ".... Ahem, uh, Hi? Could you guys, direct us to the Effervescent Ocean?"
* Jokey: "Kid, I don't think these yutses are tour guides."
* Devlon: "Wow, you are one rude bird."
* Jokey: "And you are one naked feloot! I mean, thank gods for that mysterious ability to retract yer genitals, am I right?"
* Devlon: "Oh wise guy, huh? Well, 1, I wear clothes optionally, like when I need to. Fur IS our clothes, after all. And 2, if it wasn't for your scary, albeit kinda small Zewin friends, I'd give ya the one-two buckle my shoes!"
* Jokey: "Well I do happen to have scary albeit kinda small Zewin friends, SO PUSS OFF?!"
* Tetrus: "(Sarcastically) A real master of first impressions tis ye."
* Devlon gets ready to call Jokey out! (The portal was destroyed by a buff Anthrocorn sorcerer on a giant dragon-bull monster)
* Anthrocorn: HOW DARE YOU NOT INVITE ME TO THIS PARTY?!? YOU KNOW THE RULES HERE!! I- (He saw Scoro and Drynder)... W... WHO BROUGHT ZEWINS HERE?!?
* Jokey: (holding the Vedger Scientist) HE DID IT!!
* Vedger Scientist: Umm... Hi?
* Anthrocorn: How DARE you?! I, HATE, Zewinsaurs!
* Scoro: Tch, racist.
* Anthrocorn: "Hey whoa, whoa, WHOA?! Who said I hated Zewinsaurs as a race? I'm more bothered by how they're always more powerful then me and I can't control them, it has NOTHING to do with race?!"
* Sonny: "(Sceptical) Suuuuuuuuure it's not about race."
* Drynder: "Well hating us because you can't control us and that we're beyond your power doesn't disprove possible xenophobic implications, shortcake. In fact, you implied that you wanted to enslave our kind, so that's racist within its own right, shorty!"
* Anthrocorn: "(Gets angier) I'm, not, (Charges up staff again) RACIST?!"
* Jokey: Deny it all you want, buster, it doesn't make us want to kick your ass less. Also, we KINDA hate you more already, so what's your point here?
* Anthrocorn: Get, out of my way, misfits! Don't make me hurt you!
* Cen: Leave them alone. They're just teenagers.
* Anthrocorn:... Is my face not an indicator of what a GROWN Zewinsaur can do?
* Deon:... I always thought that was because you were too careless with fire. (Bornwell scoffed at that)
* Anthrocorn: WHY YOU?! (He blasted them into a wall)
* ZongueBob: GET HIM!- (The Anthrocorn immobilized them immediately with his horn)
* Anthrocorn: HAH! I can see why the Villain Legion found you all so predictable. Next time, you REALLY shouldn't announce your moves like that.
* ZongueBob: WELL THAT WAS FOR US TO HEAR AND NOT YO-... Wait... The Villain Legion?
* Anthrocorn: They told me you'd be coming.
* Drynder:... HOW WOULD THEY KNOW THAT?!?
* Anthrocorn: They have their ways. Now, if we're done here... (He continued charging his scepter) I WILL DESTROY YOU! (Suddenly, a Mrixie took the staff) HEY!!! (The dragon-bull monster grabbed it and the Mrixie let go, causing him to swallow the staff and everyone to be freed) WHA?!? GREASE, YOU IDIOT!! YOU ATE MY STAFF!!
* Ajax: Who's predictable NOW?
* Anthrocorn: UGH! I'LL DEAL WITH YOU LATER!! (They left)
* Scoro:... Who, the heck, was THAT jerk?
* Ala: That, was Escalengon. He's been wreaking havoc and taking over everything here in Availar for a long time. When he said he hated Zewinsaurs, we figured, bringing one here would save us.
* Scoro:... You, DO know that it's a felony to forcibly bring a Zewinsaur to fix a problem for you, don't you?
* Drynder: Well, in normal circumstances, yes. But why would he hate our kind if it was THAT kind of problem?
* Scoro:... Fair point. Why is he doing this?
* Ala: I don't know, but what I DO know is that we need to get rid of him before he becomes a bigger problem, and one that we'll be pardoned of for forcing on your kind.
* Cen: Indeed she has a point.
* Cephward: Wow, lady. What are you, some kinda ghont?
* Ala:... I'm an Axirlan, you dork.
* Cephward: A what?
* Scoro: One of those alien races with mix-matched animal parts.
* Ala:... I take it he's one of the smart ones.
* Cadet: Wow, major hit.
* ZongueBob:... So, the portal's been destroyed. Guess we're stuck here.
* Vedger Scientist: Seems like it. All of you come with- (He saw the Oxydome logo on Sonny's suit)... Wait, you have an Oxydome employee with you?
* Sau: Wait, YOU all have an Oxydome employee with you?
* Jokey: "Convenient."
* (Sandy): Okay, how in tarnation haven't we heard bout this Oxydome thing until we met Sonny?
* (Sonny): Because it was a relatively new business when you did.
* (Sandy): Oh, I guess that makes sense.
* Vedger Scientist: Well, I guess we have a bigger chance to help each other after all. I'm Doctor Voltson. Let's head on out and we'll explain everything, kay?
* Cen: "I'm not much typically for co-operating with kidnappers, but, I feel like the method behind the madness is pardonable enough."
* Scoro: It's not kidnapping unless we're taken purposely and against our will. THIS was against our will, but it was NOT on purpose.
* Cen: Semantics, whatever. (Suddenly everything shook as Zerds, or lizard dragon humanoids, came out)
* Zerd #1: GUESS WHO'S BACK, BITCHES?!? AAAHAHAHA! (They attacked a nearby aga crystal mine and began stealing from everyone, and they came with the source of the tremors: A whole herd of giant dragon-bull monsters like Grease)
* Ala:... Well, you COULD start by, and this is not by force, bee-tee-dubs, saving Glisten's Aga Mines.
* Scoro:... Very well. But not because you asked, but because it's in our nature as the Clam Lounge Squadron to help people in need.
* Ala:... So, that's a yes- (They went off) That's a yes.
* Zerd #1: WHOA, IT'S THEM, BOSS!!
* Zerd Leader: HERE ALREADY?!? URGH!! GET THEM!!! (The Zerds breathed elemental breath just like a Zewinsaur's, blowing them all away as Sau let out an R2-D2 scream)
* Scoro:... Wow! What a ripoff- (The zerds then attacked with enchanted weapons and brawns)
* Cen: LESS TALK MORE FIGHT! (They fought them with all they had)
* Zerd Leader: "Why don't ya weirdos beat it? This ain't your business!"
* Cen: Maybe not, but you still- (The Zerd Leader displayed powerful earth abilities by causing an earthquake, shaking everything and unveiling a mass of aga crystals)
* Zerd Leader: JACKPOT!! WE HIT THE MOTHERLODE!! WITH THIS WE'LL BE EVEN MORE UNSTOPPABLE! WOW! THAT BUFF ANTHROCORN WAS RIGHT!
* Sonny: Wait, ESCALENGON SENT YOU?!
* Zerd Leader: No, but he told us about this place. Glisten, the hottest source of aga in this area.
* Zerd #2: LEMME AT IT! LEMME AT IT!! (Suddenly, another tremor occurred and out came a giant aga-backed Rok)
* Zerd #3: AGA ROK!!!
* Zerd #4: HOLY CRAP!!!
* ZongueBob: WHOA, THAT'S HUGE!!
* Zerd Leader: I GOT THIS! (The Rok tossed around much of the Zerds even with their powers as he gobbled up one, and amped up a helix beam breath of plasma, electricity, and lasers that the Rok took, and then smashed him)... Owch! RETREEEAT!! (They all left)
* Senny: YES! WE'RE GONNA LIVE! (The Rok looked at them with burning rainbow eyes)...... WE'RE GONNA DIIIIIEEEE!! (The Rok charged for them crazily until Devlon fired a magic arrow that exploded and shattered the Rok)
* Devlon:... I, am, awesome.
* Ala: Stroking your own arrow again, huh?
* Devlon: SHUT UP!
* Royan: DUDE THAT WAS AWESOME!!
* Marphy: TOTALLY!!
* Devlon: See? THEY get it!
* Royan:... AND you killed it.
* Marphy: Yep, totally did.
* Ala: HAH!
* Devlon: I repeat, SHUT UP!
* Scoro: Well, you guys weren't kidding when you said Escalengon was causing trouble. When it came to THAT, this is pretty serious.
* Ala: See? And trust me, he's planning WORSE.
* Devlon:... Well, looks like the zerds REALLY wrecked the place. It's gonna cost a fortune to fix this mess.
* ???: DID SOMEBODY SAY, FORTUNE?!? (Ala, Devlon, and Voltson groaned comically with Devlon banging his head on a tree, Ala running around with her face in the ground, and Voltson shooting himself unconscious with a stun gun, as a Moneybags-like Bade appeared)
* ZongueBob:... Who's that guy, and what called for that embarrassment?
* Voltson: (Dazed) MOMMY, I DON'T WANNA GO TO SCHOOL TODEVER! (He was out cold)
* Ala: (Spit dirt out) That's Mister Betterson Banks. Everyone's most hated cheap extortionist for anything and everything that goes wrong. You have a destroyed house? He charges you for a new one with his fancy-schmancy digital technology. You need to get past a gate? He charges you for nuclear explosives or something less radioactive. You have bills? HE CHARGES YOU SO HE CAN PAY EM FOR YA!!
* Mister Banks: Hey, I'm making a living. Everyone's gotta get some scratch.
* Ala: Alright, Baron Von Golddigger, what is it you got to fix this, and how much do you want for it?
* Mister Banks:... A digi-detonator and 50 Gems? (Everyone was surprised)
* Devlon:... WOW!... That's the first time he came up with a cheap price-
* Mister Banks: "Each."
* Devlon: "(Scowl) Walked right into that one."
* Cen: "Oh, bother. This is gonna be one of those situations, isn't it?"
* Sonny: I got this. (She tossed digi-detonators of her own that fixed everything, to the engorged-eyed shock of Banks)... See? No charge.
* Mister Banks: WHAT IN THE BLAZES?!
* Juck: Hey, pal, don't you have enough gems of your own? (A cutaway of a massive mountain of gems was seen inside a vault)
* Mister Banks:... Not really. And, there's NEVER enough Gems.
* Ala: Let's just say, he's a glutton for getting as much gems as possible.
* Scoro: "Alright guys, let's get going."
* The Group left.
* Mister Banks: "..... Oy. So much for getting a new business venture. Oh well, there'll be plenty of opportunities with those people."
* Sonny's voice: "I HEARD THAT, FATSO?!"
* Mister Banks: LEMME DREAM!!!

Glisten

* This music played as they went into a gem-house town.

* Several rodents with gem-colored bright eyes and hardhats were seen hiding their gems into safer places.
* Rodent Boss: "Come on, ya guys, keep hiding those gems, we don't wanna another workload go to waste! (Sees the group)... Hey hold up, tourist season's on hiatus due to the Zerd-turds, I'm gonna have to ask ya to- (Sees Scoro and Drynder).... Holy crud! Doc, you, you did it! Ya got Zewins here! Albeit young Zewins, but, I'm game for anything honestly! Our business is saved! Don't worry, we'll diffidently send some gems yer way for the inevitable legal BS you'll soon have to deal with. Maybe enough yo get an A-List Lawyer, B-List at the cheapest."
* Voltson: These aren't just any Zewinsaurs. Apparently, they're the saviors who defeated Malefice.
* Devlon: WHAT'RE THE ODDS OF THAT?!?
* Rodent Boss:... It can't be. They disappeared long ago.... That's even better! INDEED what are the odds of that?
* Ala: It was a happy accident at best.
* Sonny: And they're not alone anymore. They have friends.
* Commander: We saved your town from those 'zerd-turds'.
* Rodent Boss: So we heard from the sounds of zerd roars and the awakening of one of those Aga Roks. Those Roks are an internal side-effect of the world's reshapening.
* Scoro: I figured such.
* Rodent Boss: Ahem. My name is Cutt. With two Ts. I'm the head of the mining shafts. Those zerds kept raiding the place for the aga we have. They eat it to enhance their elemental breath. They also steal our gems out of being money-grubbing crooks!
* Ala: They're not the only ones.
* Cutt: So... Can you help this world, again?
* Scoro: Well... DAMN! I came for a simple vacation. But surprise surprise, evil's got a DAMN good travel agent.
* ZongueBob: He's had a REALLY bad time... I guess. Ahem. We'll take care of Escalengon.
* Cutt: Sadly, nobody has ever hoped to defeat him in battle. He possesses the powers of elder Zewinsaurs, and is an even force to them. He controls the beasts in the ground beneath us. (More Aga Roks appeared)... Speaking of which. (They fought them off)
* Pho: Don't villains ever take a day off?! OR EVEN A BATHROOM BREAK?!?
* Cen: Well I doubt the VA would be as successfully infamous if that were the cause!
* Cephward: Well terrific. I guess they'll end up working themselves to death.
* Alpha Rolf: Sadly, the VA would've been alot shorter if that was true too.

### **Meet Waine**

Warflame City Battlefield

* Vorax: (The Loungers arrived to see him talking with Elementress) So, um, if this doesn't sound like I'm flirting with you, because it's not, would you like to maybe get a drink later? Hit up a club?
* Elementress: You're not my friend. I can barely even call you an acquaintance. You're my bodyguard. Make it past two weeks, and I might have the patience to learn your name. Until then, you're someone that I can commend for making this far.
* Vorax: (Quietly) Oh good freaking crud, why the beautiful ones have to be difficult to impress?
* Elementress: Also, tell those weirdoes to stop looking at us, it's creepy!
* ZongueBob: CRAP, SO, SORRY, MISS ELEMENTRESS!
* Scoro: AHEM! IT'S US, MISS ELEMENTRESS!
* Elementress:... Oh, snap! It's you! My goodness it's been years! Where have YOU been when we needed you for what we had to deal with? Especially when it came to Nimrodney?
* Scoro:... Who?
* Elementress:... Judge Maskoutine. He legally changed it from A. Trosity. (Jokey snickered)..... And that proved why.....
* Scoro: Ohhhh. Well I can see why. Guess it turned out to be accurate.
* Elementress: Look, if you've seen what's happening outside we-
* Sonny: We know. Escalengon is messing everything up awakening those geomonsters. We can handle it.
* Vorax: I'm afraid you can't.
* Bongki: Who says?
* Vorax: THEY say! (An entire army of warriors were seen cartoonishly beaten up and injured)... They couldn't handle it, so you all can't.
* Scoro:... And, uh, who are you?
* Vorax: General Sergeant Integmond Waine. Elementress has placed me in charge of defending this city.
* Jokey: "Well let's hope you're a better general than a lady's man! HA!"
* Waine: "Duh, HEY, THAT WAS A PRIVATE CONVERSATION?!"
* Drynder: "Well unless you rather have to deal with them yourselves, we're not taking a no for an answer."
* Waine: "Tch, no offence, but your new entourage of Louger Rip-Offs had made ya far cries from what you once were."
* Cephward: "I'll have you know, good sir, that we are NOT ripping off the Lougers..... Not intentionally, at least."
* Waine: "Ahem! As I was saying, if you two had stayed, we would've had that stupid Qui shit settled in our own way when the Qui Crusades and the Trial didn't give enough stern results! We ended up having to wait long AFTER the fact to even GET our own trial going?!"
* Drynder: "Blame that on Crobra. We would've been more glad to stay otherwise. He, complicated things."
* Waine: "Oh, SUUUUUUURE, use the old "An Evil Snake Monster Made me Do it" excuse! YA COULD'VE JUST AS EASILY FRIED HIM, YA KNOW?! Ya didn't have to entertain his proposal, yet ya did?! I thought we were finally gonna put the Qui shit behind us, THEN YOU HAD TO GO AND-"
* Elementress: "VORAX, CEASE AND DESIST?! (Waine backed off fearfully) We should be glad we have them back at all VS continued absence."
* Waine: "Uh, I mean, I am glad they're back period, but.... WHY DID THEY HAD TO LEAVE US FOR ALIENS?!"
* Elementress: "Even we cannot control the decisions pf the forces of fate and the Mirroroids. Perhaps because of the conguring of Maleface, they deemed it that our world should not selfishly keep these two for ourselves."
* Waine: "But what about what you said in-"
* Elementress: "My concern for their absence is different from yours! You based your concern on bitterness while mine was genuine care! Now yes, there's events they would've been helpful in, but clearly even we are subjected to hands of fate! And obviously, fate had other plans.
* Waine: ".... Elementress, we could've stopped that racist anthrocorn AGES ago if they had been around?! I-"
* Elementress: "Vorax, at least appreciate that the fates no longer smile that madman's way and have brought them back our way. Better late then never."
* Waine: ".... Ugh. Fine. I'll put up with it. But I'm not gonna be surprised these two, hasbeens and out entourage turn into more failures."
* Scoro: "OKAY, LOOK?! I'm sorry we've been gone for so long! You only have Crobra to blame! He was apart of a group that was trying to replace the VA! We didn't ASKED for what happened to us?!
* Waine: "Oh, oh sure, it's fine if ya didn't asked to leave, BUT YOU COULD'VE JUST AS EASILY COME BACK TO US AND TELL US ABOUT THAT STUNT?! WE COULD'VE STOPPED THEM AND FRIED THAT OH SO SCARY SNAKE MONSTER?! THEN YOU WOULDN'T'VE HAD TO LEAVE?! DID YOU SERIOUSLY FORGET YOU ARE ACKNOWLEDGED BY ELEMENTRESS?! WE COULD'VE TURNED THOSE VA WANNA-BES TO ASHES?! WE-"
* Elementress: VORAX!
* Waine: WAINE!!
* Elementress: WHATEVER! JUST, GO OUT THERE AND HELP WHOEVER NEEDS IT IN THE BATTLEFIELD!!!
* Waine: FINALLY, AN ORDER! YES, MAM! (He flies away)
* Commander:... Did, that vorax just, fly away?
* Elementress: Yeah, apparently, he was raised by birds to do that.
* Scowalski:... I don't think that's how that works.
* Elementress: You forget this is a realm where we Zewinsaurs are capable of magic-like feats. I do not believe conventional logic applies here. Besides, it's irrelevant. We have to take care of these forces.

(Later...)

* Gnape #1: You think Esc can take them? They're pretty nasty when it comes to humiliating OP opponents.
* Gnape #2: Calm down, soldier, it's fine! We must focus on guarding the exits. Then we can get this dreaded curse off of us.
* Gnape #1: I WANNA DRINK ALCOHOL AGAA-HAA-HAA-HAAAAIN!
* (Gnape): SIR!!! THE OUTPOSTS HAVE BEEN RAVAGED!!!
* Gnape #2: WHAT?!?
* Waine: (He came in and shot up all the Gnapes in the outpost while counting them) Voili! (He left after leaving a plasma charge inside blowing it up)... Hmhmhmhm. Well let's see what she thinks about having that drink with me.
