Underworld Part IV: Escape the Wicked King Map Sail East > Mt. Thrall > Hollow's Garage > What are you building in here? > What is your favorite thing to work on? > I can handle the Salvation Knight! > Part IV: Escape the Wicked King Trekking across the Underworld, Hollow seems to have learned much while serving as a captive. Knowing just the right paths to take, and timing to avoid being discovered by those that would impede your progress. As you reach the peak of another mountain something grabs Hollow's attention... Continue <<You and Hollow, whose head is tilted downwards looking at the path, walk up the rocky mountain and stop a few steps away from a large bucket with brown smears from the rim to the center>> Hollow: There, <<You>>, is the mountain where the mech is being kept. This is one of the supply lines that was used to deliver materials. <<You>>: A little low-tech for building a mech, isn't it? Hollow: You can see why they desperately wanted my help. We can climb into the transport recepticle and get to the mech undected. <<You>>: That looks like a bucket. A rusty bucket. Hollow: Don't question the bucket. Let's go. <<You>>: Seriously? This is the quickest way? Hollow: Right. Squeeze in cause it's about to get tightskies. <<You in Guardian Plate and Hollow sit in the large bucket whose handle it clipped onto a trolley while sliding down a zip line above jagged rocks as black silhouettes against the downward gradient of dark red to red background>> <<You>>: Well here's something else I can add to my growing list of "first times" on this adventure. I think your knee is in my back. Hollow: No, that's my toe. I'm tasting my own knee at the moment. <<The base of a mountain appears on the right>> <<You>>: Wow, this was fast! How do we slow down, where's the brakes on this thing? Hollow: My heel seems to be caught under the brake and I cannot move. You'll have to reach back and try to pull the brake, otherwise we'll stop once we splatter on the ground. Stat Roll Options: Strength! Strength Check! Can you summon your strength to move Hollow's big foot off the brake before you crash? Difficulty: 100 Stat Used: Strength Roll! Dexterity! Dexterity Check! Can you manage to wriggle your arm past Hollow's foot and reach the brake before you crash? Difficulty: 100 Stat Used: Dexterity Roll! If you fail the roll or lack the Sp to defy it Hollow: Hold ooooooonnnnnn! <<A white CRASH appears on a red background, it transitions to CRASH before it disappears, dealing 40% of health excluding End>> <<You stand a short distance away from Hollow who is on both of this knees with arms sprawled on the rock, a flipped over distorted bucket rests behind You, and the end of the zip line is chained to a rock a short distance to the west of Hollow>> <<You>>: Hollow?! Are you alright? Hollow: I'm ok, luckily this rock broke my fall. *Cough* I- Hollow: I may need a second. You okay, <<You>>? <<You>>: I'll be alri- <<You emit an ! and Hollow looks up to the right>> <<You>>: Oh great, now what? Hollow: Seems our less-than-stealthy approach has drawn attention. Get ready, <<You>>, we'll have to fight our way in. Two Battles from Monster Pool with Full Heal after <<Pans to the right to a grey castle with a tilted tower surrounded by jagged rocks>> Castle Devil Spire - Realm of the Wicked King <<A Demon Guard flies into the castle and kneels on its right leg>> Demon Scout: My liege, the mechanic betrays you. A hero from the Overworld aids him. <<The castle shakes with each step the Wicked King takes and stops in front the scout>> The Wicked King: WHAT?! Cerberus, Stragath... what of the Underwyrm? Demon Scout: All defeated, my great king. The mechanic is free and making his way with this Overworld hero to the mech machine. Demon Scout: They cannot be allowed to reach my machine! The channeling power it possesses is crucial to my conquest of the Overworld. Must I do everything myself? <<A spotlight moving left and right shines for a moment on the large bronze mech is surrounded by a rectangular frame>> <<You and Hollow walk along the path and stop at the feet of the mech>> Hollow: Well, here it is. Looks like they've already began preparations to launch. Most of the mountain I built this in has been blown away. Hollow: I need to make it to the mech's head to reconfigure the weapons systems. Think you can stall these demons while I sneak my way in? <<You>>: You can count on me, Hollow! I'll take the path around the mecha and meet you at the top. Hollow: Alright, take this communicator. I'll let you know when I'm ready. Be careful, <<You>>, the Wicked King is a powerful demon and won't let go of this new toy so easily. Four Battles from Monster Pool with Full Heal after each two <<You>>: What? Is that.... Normal Battle! Battle: Cerberus Full Heal Flee!

(to Battleon) Four Battles from Monster Pool with Full Heal after each two <<You stand on the left next to a mound of grey fine rocks with the tilted downwards head of the bronze mech surrounded by a frame a short distance away>> <<You>>: Hollow? Can you- <<The Wicked King walks in from the right>> Wicked King: This is the hero I've heard about? Defeated so many of my minions? Standing here before me you do not look like much of a threat. <<You>>: Hollow! It's the Wicked King! He's here! <<In a white outlined square appearing between You and Wicked King, Hollow stands before a monitor screen>> Hollow: You are breaking up, <<You>>. Did you say the Wicked King? You're going to have to stall him, the weapon system hasn't finished rebooting. Wicked King: What are you doing, mechanic?! You will not ruin my beautiful machine! Wicked King: I'll start with your pesky overworld friend... Normal Battle!

(to Battleon) <<Wicked King stands in a defeated, bending over, head tilted looking down at the ground, in a white outlined square appearing between You and Wicked King, Hollow stands before a monitor screen>> Hollow: C'mon baby, start for daddy! <<The square disappears and the head of the bronze mech looks up straight to the left, the square and Hollow reappears>> Hollow: Wooohooo! Systems are back online and we are ready to get out of here. One sec, <<You>>, I'm going to pick you up. <<A grey tube appears over You and sucks you up, the bulge moves upwards towards the mech, <<You>>: Oh, I love that new mech smell. <<Wicked King looks up raising the sword to head level>> Wicked King: Fools! You will never escape the Underworld! Even now my army's strength returns! <<In a white outlined square appearing on the left of Wicked King, You in Guardian Plate as a black silhouette and Hollow stands before a monitor screen>> Hollow: We'll see about that. <<The bronze mech's hand appear descends on and grabs Wicked King, the mech appears from the waist up behind the mountain with its right arm raised dangling Wicked King by its feet upside down, streams of yellow light undulate in waves from a center in the lifted visor attached to the mech's head>> Hollow: You were saying? <<The square, You and Hollow disappears>> Wicked King: You dare disrespect the king?! Unhand me, you wretched vermin! <<The square, You and Hollow reappears>> Hollow: Y'know, he's right. He is a king after all. We should let him go. <<The square, You and Hollow disappears>> Wicked King: The tortures I have planned for you are countless. You wi- <<The mech moves its right arm below the mountain for a moment, then quickly flies upward tossing the Wicked King into red lava>> Wicked King: This is far from over, mechanic. Witness the full power of my fury! <<Mech appears from the waist up behind the mountain with a red blob of lava rising from the bottom, the square, You and Hollow reappears>> Hollow: Whoa! What was that?! <<The lava rises higher and dips a little, the square, You and Hollow reappears>> Hollow: I'm not sure but this fight might not yet be over. <<The blob rises to the eye level of the mech as it shifts in form to resemble Wicked King, except with glowing red eyes, molten mouth, wings, and in a skirt, the square, You and Hollow reappears>> Hollow: You will feel the wraith of a man taken from his family. Never again will a demon separate me from those I love. Let's make this demon sorry he ever attacked the Overworld! <<You>>: I'm in! Let's see what this baby can do! Normal Battle! Battle: Titanic Wicked King Full Heal Flee! (to Battleon) <<The bronze mech facing the viewer slices through the Titanic Wicked King who explodes and disappears as dark clouds, with its rockets the mech flies west with the claymore over its shoulder over a sea of lava and two mountains in the distance, the square, You and Hollow reappears>> Hollow: Excellent piloting there, <<You>>! You are truly a brave soul. Words cannot express what this means to me. <<You>>: Anytime, Hollow! I did what anyone would do for a friend in need. Ready to finally go home? I'll take us through the open fissure. Hollow: Home... *Sigh* Yes, let's go home. <<The mech lifts its arms and claymore upwards to the sky and fires its rockets flying upwards and leaves a stream of wind in its wake>> <<A soft breeze blows in from the right at small leaves and the loose hair bangs of Hollow as he gazes down at the hair top of his wife, his right arm on her shoulder, her's were around his back and right arm, eyes closed, head resting on his chest, standing on the edge of a grassy cliff of path next to and above a forest with a mountain and two puffy white clouds in the distance, the below text moves upward>> Through your bravery, evil has been defeated once more and a family reunited. As you fly through the open fissure you are greeted by the warmth of the sun. A long sigh of relief comes from Hollow. You circle Mt. Thrall and spot a clearing to land in. You compliment the handling of the mech as you both begin to disembark. Hollow laughs "It's no supply bucket but it'll get you around!" Hollow turns back to you before stepping down the final flight of stairs to the exit. "Quite an adventure." Hollow says half laughing. "When you feel like a little payback come visit my shop. I learned a couple secrets while down below, should allow me to make my finest set of gear yet. A masterfully crafted set of gear."
