>>25018599Unfortunately, your luck isn't completely sound, there's still much left to do. Though it's wonderful Shauna's been brought back from the dead, it's a double-edged Honedge, she was captured upon arrival and immediately put to work as a demigod of sorts, meant to counteract the plague of Phil'erup as the Yang to your Yin. The workload has more than overburdened her, reducing her to a comatose shell capable of nothing but mumbles and literal toxic vadge juice production.
Your friends are certainly no happy campers either, they've been working under the absolute orders of the Lore Miser Garakaw just to stay alive in this new territory, always within Shauna's reach but never quite close to rescue her from his clutches. They knew it was an operation they couldn't pull off alone, they knew they needed someone, someone heroic and so ridiculously stupid that he'd jump at any chance to lunge headfirst into any outrageous ordeal no matter the risk, all if it meant saving a friend in peril.
That ridiculously stupid hero is you, and when you learn of Serena's somber-ridden plights, you can't help but feel utterly compelled by both love, devotion, and JUSTICE to put a smile on her face again by rescuing the only other female companion she had in the original five-man sausagefest your journey began on, ALL THIS IN ADDITION to your conquest to rejuvenate Phil'erup to a world that Dio and Master Pharos can be proud of.
And to all of that, you can't help but... laugh.
