Two hours go by and Ryan wakes up finding himself alone and all his stuff strung out all over the ground. “What the hell just happened?’ he says out loud while feeling a huge lump on the back of his head.

Suddenly Ryan remembers his flashback of him falling face first toward the ground.

He looks around him and tries to find Alex, but she was nowhere to be seen. He finds Party Poison laying 20 yards in the distance and finds all her spices scattered throughout the circumference of it.

“Okay this settles it. We were ambushed. Alex would not an enchanted sword of this magnitude be left unguarded.” He thought to himself while feeling the huge knot on his head and the mess that lies before him. He then digs into his pocket and tries to pull out his phone.

It was not there

He rolls his eyes and summons it to him, and it appears. The phones camera mode was on and it made him immediately check his last photos.

He sees twelve photos that were just recently taken by accident by someone not familiar with using a smart phone and can see someone baring a Palmlandia emblem on his shoulder standing next to a what appeared to be an unconscious Alex who had her hands tied behind her back and who was in the process of being carried by two men.

“They leave the sword but take my phone. Real smart” Ryan thought to himself in disbelief

He immediately looks though his own backpack and sees things strung all over the place. Ryan who was a little bit irritated grabs his bag and starts loading up items and notices that all his alcohol he had was missing. But then notices the journal that he and Alex took from that scout they killed was still there. Ryan flips through the pages of the journal and sees something that looked like a map but could not translate it.

He pulls out his phone and opens up the translation widget and uses it decipher the Palmlandian cyrillic text on the pages.

The phone translates the dead scouts notes and he sees something that said “Camp” circled on the map. Ryan then wastes no time. He cross references the location on his phone and then picks up Alex’s sword and slides it in between the straps on the rear of his backpack. He than starts moving toward the camps location which was a mile and a half away.

Mean while at the Palmlandian camp, Alex was just now waking up with her legs and her arms spread out in a “X” shape chained between two trees. The captain of the scout team sees her eyes open and grabs a piece of paper and starts walking toward her.

“Why do you have this?” He demanded Alex in a frustrated tone.

“I don’t know what that is” Alex replied seeming confused and groggy.

“Don’t play dumb with me. I know who you are. I also know you killed one of my men” He screamed at her while picking up a horse rein and hitting her in the neck with it.

“I don’t know what you are talking about” Alex replied while trying to resist showing excitement for her current situation.

“This is an invasion map one of my officers had on him. You had it in your possession along with that other guy who had his field journal. He would not simply lose such and item like this. There by its safe to assume you both killed him and took it from him” The man said while violently swinging the horse rein again at her striking her in the arm.

“I don’t know what you are talking about! Where is my friend” Alex demanded while trying to hide the fact she was really turned on right now.

“I don’t care much for your weak ass friend. I know your face from Operation Barbwire!” He screams with spit flying out of his mouth and full of anger. He then winds back and hits her in the face.

“When Vadim’s teleport spell recharges in 2 hours you’re coming with us back to Palmlandia. Lady Mriya has special little “place” for people like you!” He yells while whipping her again on the back of her leg.

When he did that Alex secretly orgasms but forces herself to make herself seem scared.

“Please don’t send me there! I will do whatever you want I will also answer any questions you want. I don’t want go there” Alex pleaded with him while secretly wishing he would hit her again.

“You have no choice. No one must know about our plans” He replied to Alex while throwing the reins down on the ground and walking away from her.

“Wait, hang on. How exactly did you find me?” She asked him while pretending to be in pain.

He turns around right back at her and digs into his pocket.

“We all heard music blasting from over a mile away and traced it back to that mine. We know it came from this thing” He said while digging for Ryan’s phone.

“Wait, Where the hell did it go?” The captain shouted while manically searching both pockets of his.

Suddenly both of them hear “Man In The Box” by Alice In Chains blasting in the distance and look toward the woods.

Four men from the camp who heard the disturbance, immediately group up and start running into the thick brush with their weapons drawn and a loud explosion can be heard by Alex and the Scout team captain.

They both see all four men fly violently back into the camp and then can see Ryan walking dramatically toward them.

5 more men run toward Ryan and attempt to neutralize him, but Ryan quickly fires up another [Ball Lighting] Spell and lets it loose at the wall of men charging at him. 2 men then slip into their stealth mode and disappear from his sight, but Ryan quickly detonates his spell and reveals their location. He immediately casts [Detonate] on both those Rogues and takes them out.

The other three men who were confused at what spell he just used stand still and gives Ryan the opportunity to cast [Black Rain] down on their location. As the men get pelted with deadly scorching fireballs Alex then notices a Rogue beside her pick up a crossbow and aim it at Ryan.

“Ryan watch out!” Alex screams at him.

Ryan who was channeling his [Black Rain] spell looks her way and spots the rogue and quickly casts [Ball Lightning] toward him and detonates the spell at precisely the same time he fires the bolt. The blast from the spell shattered the bolt in midflight and gives Ryan the opportunity to cast [Detonate] on him. As he does so Ryan quickly looks behind him and sees a disturbed piled of dirt create a dust cloud and quickly pulls out his spell blades. He instantly charges them up with [Black Plasma] and takes a wide sweep into the air behind him. His blades are then parried by the would-be assailant Rogue.

The Rogue then overpowers him and swiftly disarms him of his swords. Ryan who stood there in shock that he just dropped both of his swords quickly reacts and reaches back behind him and pulls out Alex’s sword.

As he yanks the sword out from in between his shoulder straps he cuts them, and his bag falls off from him.

Feeling lighter he charges toward the Rogue and tries to attack it. As he does so the Rogue hesitates while thinking about how to counter a two-handed weapon and just as the blade was about to hit the Rogue it randomly veers to the right. As it veers off course it pulls Ryan with it to the side.

The Rogue who was confused as to how he missed them, charges in and Ryan tries to block their attack with Alex’s sword. The Blade some how tries to move out of the way of the incoming attacks and is forced out of the way of them. The Rogue who was confused as to how he dodged their attack, pulls off their mask so they could show Ryan their facial expression.

Ryan then sees he was in fight against a short haired Burnett woman. Ryan attempts to Swing at her again but the blade somehow moves out of her way and pulls him along with it.

The Woman looks at Ryan with confusion and charges at him again. He goes to block one of her low side stabs with Party Poison, but the blade yanks him out of the way again. Confused as to how he dodged her; she stands still. Ryan then charges toward her and aims below her breasts for a stab thrust. The blade pulls him out of the way again and this starts to piss him off.

Ryan then randomly starts swinging the sword at her and the sword just randomly pulls him in random directions.

“Why Can’t… I Hit….. You!” Ryan screams in dismay while trying to hit her while she was standing still and missing her all three times.

The woman who just stood there in disbelief and laughing at him while looking at the ground was then hit with a Random [Detonate] Spell that sends her flying back.

“Fuck this sword!” Ryan screams while holding the sword with one hand and throwing it away from him.

He then darts over to his spell blades and pick them up off the ground. As he does so he can see the Scout captain pulling back the cocking lever on the crossbow and aim it at him. Ryan takes aim and quickly casts [Detonate] on his crossbow and it explodes in his face, knocking him to the ground in pain. Ryan then sprints as fast as he could toward Alex and Enchants his blades again with [Black Plasma] and takes a mighty swing at her chains. The blade slices right on through the metal chains and sets her free. Alex then darts over to Party Poison and picks it up. As she picks it up a few links of chain that were still attached to the shackles on her arms rattle against her chest plate and she charges in and takes aim at the Captain. The Captain quickly gets back to his feet and blocks Alex’s attack with his dagger and his battle axe. Alex then gets bombed by an Arcane attack from a nearby mage.

Ryan who sees the mage, starts firing a up [Void Blast] and aiming at him. The mage quickly casts a spell that blasts Ryan back into a tree and causes him to stop casting. The man then while he was down blasts Ryan repeatedly with [Arcane Shockwave].

Ryan who was still laying down on the ground leaning on a tree and now furious, then casts [Drain Health] on him while he was hammering him, and the man starts to scream in agony and manages to stop him from attacking. The mage quickly pops up an Arcane shield of his and shoots Ryan the figure. Ryan hops to his feet and then rolls his eyes at him and charges up [Chaos Blast] with 15% of his health as a catalyst. As he charges up the spell the ground underneath his feet starts to glow a Tar-ish black and when he fully charges up his spell, he lets it go at the mage. The mage thinking that his shield would block this attack from him… doesn’t suffer any pain as he gets blasted into a million pieces of Black Fiery Ash.

Meanwhile Alex and the captain were engaged in a heated melee battle. Alex managed to get a few times by him, but when she would go in for a heavy swing on him, the inertia of chains on the end of her shackles would slap her in the wrist, thigh, or hit her in the face. This obviously turned her on and made her stand toe to toe with him while they fought to the music that was still blasting on Global mode from Ryan’s phone.

Ryan who was watching Alex take on someone who was on par with her skill takes aim at him with [Ball Lighting] in electric mode but the Captain sees this and hurls his Axe at him like a Tomahawk. Ryan who was too concentrated on spell casting doesn’t react fast enough and gets hit in the side of the neck with it. This knocks Ryan to the ground and causes him to bleed out profusely. Alex who watches fall to the ground mortally injured takes a swing at the man’s arm but doesn’t intend on hitting him with her sword. As She forces him to move his dagger into a predictable position, her shackles chain wraps around his dagger and she yanks her arm back slinging the weapon into the bushes behind her. Alex then with one clean motion plunges her sword right through his heart and ends him.

She then dashes toward Ryan and casts [Amber Light] on him in a hurry. The spell heals him up but doesn’t close the gash on his neck. She pulls out his phone and looks at his health and sees he was at 34% and bleeding out quickly. She casts [Amber Light] again, and brings his health back up to 49%, But not even 20 seconds later he was back down 30%.

“Oh My God Ryan this is not good!” Alex expresses with fear as She heals him up again.

She looks around the camp for something to use and spots a horse saddle that was being repaired. She finds a fat leatherworking Needle stuck into a strap that was being repaired and runs it over to Ryan. Ryan who was now at 12% health triggers the low health warning alarm on his phone and she heals him up again back to 27%.

Ryan who sees the needle in her hand then freaks out.

“You’re not using that on me!” He screams at her in a state of fear.

“Why you don’t like needles?” She asked him while grabbing his arm.

“No, I’m okay with them, but that needle you have in your hand is the size of Detroit” He said while trying to get away.

“I don’t have anything else to use. Your phone and I have a spell that negates bleeding effects. This is all we got so hold still” Alex said while grabbing the back of his shirt with one hand and holding the thick needle with the other

“Alex No! Don’t even think about it!” He said while trying to squirm out of her grip.

“Just hold still or I will make you hold still” Alex said firmly while repositioning herself.

“No! Alex get that thing away from me!” He pleaded with her.

Alex then positions her body over him and jumps on top of him and pins his bleeding neck to the ground.

“Alex what the fuck are you doing bitch!” Ryan screams in fear.

“I’m not letting you die after you rescued me to the most epicist song ever. She said while casting [Amber Light] on him and healing him up again.

As she moves the thick needle to his neck Ryan freaks out and starts panting rapidly. He then closes his eyes and Alex pierces the cold needle into his skin and he feels the stinging pain of the thick needle.

As she pulls it through the 2 pieces of skin the then does a loop and brings it back to the other side of his wound to complete a stich, Ryan tenses up his arms and legs as she plunges the needle right through his skin again. She pulls tight on the string and then crosses over to complete another stich.

With Ryan enduring stinging pain with every stich she makes; he tries to fight her, but she maintains control of him. She makes him endure the suffering of 25 stitches on his neck with a thick needle and when she was done; she releases him. Ryan rolls over onto his back with the wound on his neck sealed up and not bleeding and just shakes on the ground from his trauma. Alex sits right beside him and pats him on the head and plays with his darkish red hair.

They both sit in silence for 8 minutes while Ryan recovers.

“I know that was a bitch move but Thank you” Ryan said feeling embarrassed and defeated.

“Just know I’d do this again for you if I had to. You are my friend, and I will do anything to keep you alive” She said while hugging him.

Ryan hops up to his feet and feels dizzy. He walks over to a nearby tent and grabs a blanket and wipes off all the blood he had on him. Alex meanwhile picks up her sword and sheaths it. She then walks over to the firepit and grabs the Quest item they took from her.

She then spots his backpack on the ground with 2 cut shoulder straps and takes the needle she was still holding on to and begins stitching them back together.

“I have to ask, why did your sword refuse to land a hit” Ryan inquired while wiping off more blood from himself.

“Well, Party Poison is a God Tier enchanted sword, and since Gerard gave it to me, I’m the only one allowed to use it” She explained to him.

“Wait hold on, so no one else can use it beside you” He asked her while walking behind her and removing her blade from her sheath gently while she repairs his bag.

“Yep. Unless of course I die. Then the “soulbound” effect on the blade ends until I get my hands back on it again” She said while finishing up with sewing together one of the straps.

After she said that, He then takes time to examine it thoroughly. He smirks at the winkey tongue face emoji stamped on the blade and traces the smooth outline of it with his hands. and takes time to feel the material that the Hot-Pink colored wrap on the grip was made of.

“The wrap on this sword is just so amazing” He tells her while sliding the sword back into her sheath on her back.

“Yes, it is. I just absolutely adore it” She tells him while finishing up the other strap.

“From this angle, the pummel and the hilt Kind of looks like Princess Bubblegum” Ryan said while tilting his head and focusing on the sword.

“RYAN OH MY GOD, I absolutely loved that show! Can we watch it tonight before bed?” She said while getting up and walking behind Ryan and sliding his backpack over his arms and jumping up and down all excited.

“Sure” He said while leaning down and picking up the quest sword and sliding it carefully in between his freshly repaired backpack straps. He then picks up both of his spell blades off the ground and watches Alex walk over to some horses tied up to a tree.

“It looks like we can use these guys to travel back to Simon” Alex said while untying all but two horses from a low hanging tree branch. Slaps them all in the rear and they take off running wild and free. Ryan walks up to Alex and Enchants his swords with [Black Plasma] and then carefully leans down and carefully cuts off the shackles on her legs.

Alex who stood still a little nervous lets him remove them without incident. He then motions for her to spread her arms out and he carefully cuts the shackles off both her wrists.

After the last shackle falls to the ground Ryan and Alex then grab the last two horses and hop on. Alex who at this point in time realized she’s forgetting something, hops off and walks back to the captain and pulls the invasion map from his pocket and then hops back on.

“Need to turn this in as soon as possible” Alex said while turning her horse around and heading back toward the north.

“Alrighty, Lead the way” Ryan tells her as he tosses her his phone. She quickly opens it up and looks at a town of interest on her way back to Simon on the map and plays “Bone Shaker” By Airbourne on Party Mode.

They both then take off galloping into the distance while jamming out to the song.
