Alex and Linda are finally here!
Let's go save Justin, whether he wants us to or not.
We survived the dangerous trip over the stormy waters, there's a good sign. The plan is...we don't really have a plan besides that Linda will stay and guard the barge and the rest of us will go find Justin and bring him home.
I guess that's it then
there's a disturbing lack of guards around here...
Ah, there's some finally. Wait a second
What's Darko doing over there? Waving his hands all magically at the ocean?
But before I could wonder too much about that, the door to the oil rig opened, and when I looked inside...
Mr Sands?
He wants to work together, just this once, to save Justin. He is his grandson after all. He says he'll trigger the alarm, which will bring all the guards here, giving us time to sneak in and grab Justin.
I reluctantly agreed. I don't trust Mr Sands one bit, and honestly I wouldn't put it past him to not actually care about Justin, but he's really our only option. We came here with literally no plan.
So I told Alex and Lisa the plan and before they could even argue, Mr Sands had already sounded the alarm.
All the guards ran past our hiding place and swarmed inside to see what was the problem.
We took our opening and made our way onto the helicopter pad
But there's still some guards left, so we stopped just out of sight. Lisa asked what the plan was, for real this time, and Alex said she's gonna zap the guards with lightning while I grab Justin and Lisa stands by with her healing magic "in case things go sideways"
This is a very stupid plan, but she didn't wait for us to say anything, she just charged ahead like the idiot we all love.
Here she is zapping people with lightning powers, and me and Chance following her dumb plan because what else are we gonna do
Justin was being forced to walk the plank, and when the guards saw us coming, one of them pushed him off and he started to fall.
Then Chance started talking to me. He said our bond is strong, it's time. I have to let Aideen's light fill me.
Then we jumped off the plank after Justin. And then this happened
Yep, we have magic wings. Chance can fly, and we managed to catch Justin in midair. This is officially the coolest thing SSO has ever let us do and I hope future quests let us fly again, I love this so much.
We flew Justin back to Linda on the barge, and Alex and Lisa met us there.
Linda gushed over how cool that just was and I must tell her what it was like to harness the power of Aideen like that, but we eventually got her to stop nerding out so we could get out of there. It's okay, Linda, I wanna know more about how we can fly, too
We did a great job parking the barge, if I do say so myself
I asked Justin if he was okay and he said that was really cool and he was never scared one bit because he knew we would come save him. Uh huh, yeah, I'm sure you weren't.
He also said nobody at Dark Core ever told him anything, they just kept asking him to do magic tricks that he couldn't do. So much for finding out more of Dark Core's plans.
I guess I better give him a ride home and let him get some rest, I'll go back to interrogating him later.
Come on, let's get you home to your father.
Here's your precious boy. He's a little more emo now, but I'm sure he'll be fine.
And there we go. Justin's all saved and returned home, where I'm sure he will stay and live happily ever after :)
Now to focus on saving Anne. That's gonna take a lot more, since she's in another dimension, not just on some oil rig in the ocean.
