"[color=limegreen]Well that was a sight to behold,[/color]" Rubick remarked after all the excitement with the gigantified Bowser had calmed down. It was a shame they were from different worlds; with such power, the Koopa King would've stood among the top heavyhitters in the battle of the Ancients and be a fine ally to have. And that Flame Clock was certainly quite durable if it managed to withstand that onslaught of attacks. It made Rubick wonder just how valuable its contents were if it needed to be so unbreakable. 

Asgore's tale was also rather sad, but more importantly, it shed a bit of light on the enemies the Seekers faced. This "F" was evidently a powerful foe and wasn't afraid to wield that strength. Everyone else seemed to know more about them as well, and Rubick hated being kept in the dark about such matters. "[color=limegreen]I would like to more about these 'Consuls' we're facing. It seems I'm the only one who knows less about them than everyone else here,[/color]" Rubick complained. "[color=limegreen]You [i]must[/i] tell me all you know about them soon.[/color]"

Bidding their farewells to Asgore, they made their way to the green pipe that seemed rather out of place in this environment. However, the Koopa Troop were quite familiar with it, so it was likely safe to use. Curious, he observed the others entering the pipe, the structure making the same pattern of noises every time someone descended into it. Now fascinated, he stepped onto the pipe as well and was delighted to experience this new mode of travel. 

When Rubick finally exited the pipe, he was about to drop into the water. "[color=limegreen]Oh dear![/color]" Rubick said, quick to react by casting Telekinesis on himself, stopping just an inch off the water's surface. "[color=limegreen]Ah, that was close. I'd hate to get my robes wet. Well, wetter than now.[/color]" Reorienting himself in the air with his spell, Rubick took in the sights of the city surrounding them. He was relieved to be in an area of civilization again, having quickly grown rather tired of the cave and root systems. 

Setting himself back onto the ground and following the old Koopas Bowser and Kamek, Rubick took the opportunity to ask, "[color=limegreen]So, the Consuls. I've yet to face many of them myself, apart from that one back near the surface of the Chasm. Now that we have the opportunity... Please, tell me more about them.[/color]"
