The Courier was about to take off when Peach essentially told him to hold up, and he couldn’t deny that it irked him a bit to be told what to do, but her reasoning was sound so he didn’t express any of his irritation. Setting up a portal in this Smash City place and getting a travel hub absolutely sounded like a great and practical idea. Besides, that meant that the others could get to Lumbridge before him if he took off flying now, and the guildmarm might give away the prize without him and that absolutely would never do.

The new arrivals of Sakura, the dragon lady, and the return of Euden were welcomed by Cuphead and Jak (one much more enthusiastically than the other) but soon it was time to get a move on and they all traveled through a series of teleporter pads and ultimately ended up walking toward a huge citadel that was the host of this “Smash Tournament” event, whatever the heck that was. Once inside it was clear the place was full of some absolute legends, and it was quite the hustle and bustle of a place! Some small, adorable anthropomorphic dog was working the front desk and Daxter couldn’t help but jump up on the desk and pat Isabelle on the head.

[color=darkorange]”Lookit Jak, isn’t just the cutest thing?”[/color] he chuckled. Jak shared in his friend’s laughter, but only a little bit.

Another individual approached them, a regal woman of golden hair and white and pink gown. She introduced herself in a melodic voice as “Zelda.” The Courier began to lose interest and followed Bowser Junior, making his graffiti and somehow this paint translated into a portal. He shrugged and figured, “What the hell?” and jumped in after the heir to the Koopa throne. Jak merely nodded to the woman of clearly royal pedigree, while Cuphead bowed and tipped his head by removing it like a hat.

[color=red]”Greetings milady! You may address me with the title of my personage, Sir Cuppicus Cranial Headdicus. Or you can just call me Cuphead for short!”[/color] He snapped back into normal position, placing his head back upon his shoulders with a smile.

Back at the Mushroom Kingdom, Peach’s castle, the Courier arrived just a couple seconds behind BJ and the koopa was already at work setting up more graffiti portals. Soon as the one to Lumbridge was made, the Courier jumped in ahead of BJ, eager to not only get their spoils from the guild hall, but also to reunite with someone. In a flash later, his body disassembled and reassembled elsewhere, the now draconic Courier looked all around the medieval town but did not see the individual he was looking for. His new form was sporting him many looks and stares from the crowd, but he couldn’t give less of a shit. With his new wings he took to the air and gazed down from above, but still he couldn’t find who he wanted. Did those cats take her back someplace else? That would have been strange. Well he’d have to look for her at another time, with greater effort. Instead he changed course to the guild hall.

Once he arrived at the guild hall, alongside Bowser Junior, the Courier spotted exactly who he wanted to see, leaning against the counter. [color=tan]”GT! Howdy!”[/color] he called out, arms open wide.

The robot readjusted itself and looked at him, the face on her tv screen changing to a new static image of Gaige in confusion. “Boss?” The image changed back to Gaige with an excited grin. “Hell yeah boss! You got the dragon spirit?! I knew you would!”

Courier and robot rushed in for a very strange and awkward embrace, but it was heartwarming in its own way. Once they were finished he looked over the counter to the guild marm. [color=tan]”As you can plainly see amiga, we done took care of that big beast an’ now it’s part of me. We’ll be moseyin’ off with that reward now, please and thank you.”[/color]
