The important thing is to keep getting back up again when the world knocks you down!”[/color] Bowser added to Peach’s insistence that Rubric getting bodied by the gank squad was no great shame [color=FD0000]”And then you train and you scheme and do a new awesome plan… and get your butt kicked again… and again… and again…”[/color] the King’s eyes gradually glazed over as the weight of his failures pressed down upon them [color=DeepSkyBlue]”His majesty is an old hand at taking down dimension warping eldritch beings though, aren't you Sire? Why this isn't even going to be the first one who tried to rewrite reality in their own image you have taken down!”[/color] Kamek hurried over to insist and stop any kind of downward spiral. [color=FD0000]”Huh? Oh. Oh yeah I'd did do that didn’t I! Yeah!”[/color] the king cheered himself, his history of endless defeats all but forgotten. A little bit after that, and they found out through Pit how the blue team was doing, which was well [color=FD0000]”Glad they’re good. They killed a boss too? Nice, good job them”[/color] Bowser said in response to his question being answered by the somewhat familiar angle boy [color=FD0000]”Thanks, uh, pat? Pot? Pit! Pretty sure it’s Pit. Right? Dunno much about you but you where a reel thorn in my side till you switched teams last time”[/color] Bowser said, misconstruing the situation where he had joined the mass of heroes entirely during the final act of the whole Subspace fiasco [color=FD0000]”so good to have you”[/color] After that, they got filled in on some more details that the Blue team had found, namely an underground cat based train network,, as well as some stuff about the state of the world. The big one was the fate of the mission Jr had sent out way back when to deal with Eggman. It had, apparently, turned into a right farce. [color=FD0000]”Ah so you didn’t get Dr Eggman onboard? Shame, the guy is a tech wize and definitely a team player once he knows the world is on the line.”[/color] Was Bowser’s take on the situation [color=FD0000]”Plus he’s surprisingly sporty for such a, uh, top heavy guy.”[/color] Jr meanwhile napped right through the explanation of the series of events he had set in motion, but he did flutter open his eyes at the mention of a vehicle bay [color=SpringGreen]”Yeah I used that place last night to upgrade my car, it's pretty neat. Plus we put the airship in there to be serviced, so we’ll have that boxy thing to use to get around. Or someone will eventually, I don’t know if they managed to restart it yet. Thing took a real beating seeing as it got emp’d twice in one night”[/color] After that, the main question raised was where exactly they should go. Part of that planning was impossible to do, as the result of the blue team’s train rides could open up who knew where for easy travel, but they did the best with what they had. Being the most strategically minded of the Troop, it was Kamek who had their input into the situation. [color=DeepSkyBlue]”So, ah, this hole where the dead zone used to be”[/color] Kamek pointed towards the massive crater that had been left where the blighted realm had once stood [color=DeepSkyBlue]”What, exactly, happened there? And, well, there was no mention of the boss there on the list of ones dealt with so… do we need to go back there? Poke around? Put down the guardian there for good? Assuming everything there but the boss is blown to pieces, or rather only it got up afterwards, then we could walk or fly there, deal with it, and then go to this Midgar place perhaps?”[/color]
