[i]We see our intrepid hero stalking the streets of Offtopic in search of his nemesis. He searches through the alleyways and finds four of Professor Owl’s minions. Thinking to sneak up on them he carefully steps behind the first one, and goes to strike, but it goes right through it! “Is it an illusion?” Our hero wonders, but he soon finds out it’s more than an illusion, it’s a trap![/i] [i]Just as the Captain leaps away a blast of fire strikes the ground where he just was! A pyromancer under the employ of the vile Professor Owl! The pyromancer fires another blast at the Captain and he blocks with a spout of water, but as he does a blast of lightning pierces the water and strikes him! He drops to one knee at the two wizards approach him going to finish him off![/i] [quote]Have you ever felt alone? Do you wish your internal conversation could be external?

They seem to be evenly matched when suddenly the ground becomes ice and both of them slip![/i] “Looks like you two are causing some undue noise, let’s not do that.” [i]A strange man in a well kept suit appears. The lightning wizard tries to stand and blast him but before he can the captain blasts him, and the man freezes both of them.[/i] [i]When our hero comes to he’s inside a small room, it seems to be a guest room. Kelp stands and exits into what appears to be a bar. There is a single patron and the Bartender is the man from earlier.[/i] “Where am I? And who are you?” “Names Joshua. You’re in my bar.” “Thanks but I don’t need the help.” “Sure you don’t, you might’ve been able to beat twiddle Dee and twiddle Dum but you sure made a hell of a lot of noise just to only beat one of them.” “What’re you saying?” “Sit down, then we’ll talk about how to get you some training to not lose so often.” [i]Grumbling all the while Kelp sits at the bar and waits...[/i] [quote]Hello, I’m John Johnny Johnson. And today I’m here to talk to you about drugs. Do them. Lots of them, then come to my rehab facility so I can fix your addiction for the low fee of 3 weeks and 1200 credits.[/quote] “See, what you need is a way to learn more skills, the easiest way to do that is to find someone to teach you.” “Right... not sure if you know this yet but I’m special forces.” “Yeah, sure, but you’re up against just a couple of average mooks, once you get genuine attention from the big boss you’re done for.” “What do you mean by that? I can handle myself.” “Sure you can. But you need to be able to take out guys who can also handle you.” “Fine, let’s say I do this, What’s in it for you?” “I get to do something other than sell drinks to José over there.” [i]José gives a wave and falls off the stool. Joshua shrugs and motions for Kelp to follow as he leads him to the basement for training to defeat Professor Owl.[/i]
