>>5390986No longer in control, all you can do is watch as THE DUCK delivers grim justice to your leathery-winged foe! Snatching the dazed bloodsucker in its beak like it were a chunk of freshly-tossed bread, your knight in feathered armor brings its prey up towards the chopper’s propellers with a merciless glimmer in its glowing red eye!
“Skre-”
With a whip of its long neck, THE DUCK hurls THE BAT into the spinning blades, soundly defeating its would-be nemesis and turning him into a BAT BLEND–EXTRA FINE!
“HOLY COW!” Roars Pete as the whole helicopter lurches from the sudden finisher, “Hang on, Stan!”
He doesn’t have to tell YOU twice! Clinging to the nearest wall your hand can find, you watch as the air around you is sprayed with THE BAT’S liquid remains! Bathing in the fresh coat of red paint, THE DUCK performs a showy loop-de-loop as it fills the air with a triumphant ‘QUACK!’
As the two of you lock eyes for a moment, you know what must be done. Raising your CONTROLLER for THE DUCK to see, you promptly throw it to the floor of the chopper’s cabin, dashing it to pieces!
“What da’ HELL, Stan!?” Roars Ly as the pieces tumble out the open sides of the chopper, “Now we’ll never be able t-what da?”
THE DUCK gives you a stoic nod before breaking off its escort of your helicopter. Leaving you with one last ‘QUACK’, LIBERATED DUCK dips below the blood-red clouds and vanishes from sight.
“Where’s he going?” Asks Nats as Ly watches him go with a solemn look on her bandit-masked face.
Wherever he wants, you softly reply. He’s in control now…
“Works for me!” Pete chimes in as he brings you closer to THE FORTRESS, “And the timing couldn’t be any better either–look!”
For every skull you’ve downed come five more–rising from every nook and cranny in THE FORT’S sinister masonry, they waste no time in rushing to intercept your ride! As if that weren’t enough, a distant bellowing betrays the approach of another BONE DRAGON… or MORE!
Pete, you mutter as you buzz the citadel’s walls, you gonna be okay!?
“Don’t worry about me, kid, just worry about your LANDING!” He barks as he straightens the chopper out! “Sorry to rush, Stan, but it’s now or never!”
With the skulls descending upon your ride and limited options, you scan the castle below and quickly pick a landing zone:
>THROUGH THAT STAINED-GLASS WINDOW DEPICTING TIM! SCREW THAT GUY!>THAT OUTCROPPING WITH THE GARGOYLES–YOU CAN CLIMB ALONG IT AND FIND A BETTER WAY IN!>THE BALCONY! MAYBE THAT’S SNEAKIER?>WRITE-IN!
