"Yes, enemy cyborgs should have plenty of electrolytes once you slice them open and...extract their fluids." Doktor explained, which resulted in a Zarbon moan.
"Goodnight, everybody!" Yakko said.
"Yikes!" The X-Squad said, shocked that Doktor implied Raiden was literally draining people of blood.
"They're terrorists. I was planning on that anyway." Raiden remarked, facepalming that the squad took it out of context.
[wait he knows how to pause for effect?]
[i thought he'd implode from suspense]
[shhh we're gonna miss it]
King Boo was happy that Raiden was laughing and smiling that he rushed over to him, lavishing him with what could be considered doggie kisses. The two rubbed noses before Raiden hopped out of the towel cart and whipped out a flashlight, which had also survived the fall, as the X-Squad crawled out of the cart.
"Hey, is pint-size okay?" Raiden asked, seeing Sabrina comfort Arthi.
Arthi hastily wiped her eyes as Raiden approached, not wanting to appear weak. "I-I'm fine!" she insisted, though her quivering lip gave her away.
Memories of her past life came flooding back - standing by her father's side, training with Uther, playing with Calia and Jaina as children. "Please, if any of you can hear me...forgive your foolish daughter," Arthi wept. "I only wanted to save Lordaeron, I never meant for things to end this way. If I could, I'd try and undo my sins..."
"Would you like some chocolate?" Augustus asked, handing some to Coco.
"k, I need the sugar to get through this cringefest." Coco said, only for Augustus to yoink it away.
"Then you should've bought some." He said, taking a bite of his chocolate before walking behind her.
"Fine, we'll indulge your creepy obsession with left hands, if you get us some upgrades." Drakus calmly offered.
"Ich liebe Kapitalismus! Had the wall come down a few years earlier, I would have a Nobel Prize on my shelf." Doktor ranted.
"Okey dokey," Kanade said, opening the door and stepping inside. "What's happening?"
"Great, then we have time for a quick briefing!" Another male voice said.
"Wattles the Cassowary, mascot of Rave Incorporated, and a wanted terrorist responsible for the theft of the Noah Ark, and Hellen Gravely, owner of the Last Resort hotel and moonlighting as an arms dealer by the name of 'Phantasm', their security detail being the terrorist group known as Deadlight, and our old friends, Desperado Enforcement LLC." A Russian voice said.
"And if we don't stop them, they could destabilize the entire kingdom and force them into selling their likeness to Rave Inc.!" The voice, apparently Kev, said.
Raiden led Inkerton to a car that appeared to have been manufactured in the 1910s, as Raiden slashed the car, opening the trunk, and a peal of laughter erupted from Drakus.
Hidden in the car's hood was none other than a Poltergust, but it was a deep silver with cyan lightning bolts painted on the side.
When Furina slid the Poltergust onto her back, it felt like a comforting embrace. The smooth leather straps were soft against her. The metal buckle was a bit cool, but she welcomed the coolness all the same. She hefted the weight of the vacuum nozzle in her hands, and then she posed as best as she could.
"Before we set off, I guess we should check to see if this works," Furina said.
First, she held down the Strobulb button before releasing it, a bright flash filling the room. Second, she tested the vacuum and exhaust functions.
"Great," Raiden said when Furina was done. "The bulb, the vacuum and the exhaust are in top form. Are we done?"
Furina soon saw a strange button on the vacuum's neck.
"Wow. What does this do?" she asked.
When she pressed the button, she gasped as a strong wind sucked some of the briefcases filling the room into the vacuum, as everyone held on tight, so as to not get stuck in a vacuum, once she was done, everyone flopped onto the floor.
"That's new," he mused when he caught his breath. "Hopefully, it'll come in handy."
"Alrighty, in the words of the great philosophers Mario and Luigi..." Drakus said, determined. "Let'sa go!"
"Hey, Arsene," Captain Kidd said, "Call me crazy, but I think Drak just swiped your leader role."
"So, you trying out for the Avengers or Justice League?" Tsubasa snarked.
"Nah, dollface. We're way more fun! Way more screwed up, too." Drakus cheerfully remarked.
The search began in the parking garage, where there were plenty of coins and scraps of paper for Furina to vacuum up. Neo yanked a white sheet away from one of the cars and discovered a green panel on the trunk, which Furina flashed with the Strobulb. The trunk opened, and from it emerged a white, boxy-looking gem.
"Whoa," Raiden gasped as he pocketed the gem. "We'll probably find more of these."
In addition to the coins and paper scraps, there were piles of dirt and trash, along with some mice, which Furina could also stun. The squad explored the parking garage in its entirety before exiting into the hallway and walking toward the elevator, Furina vacuuming whatever she could find as they went. When they reached the elevator, they saw that they were on floor B1.
The basement.
To the elevator's left was another door, blocked by metal barriers, but Furina flashed the Strobulb at another green panel, causing the barriers to retract, and pushed through the door into a stairwell. There were gold coins, gold bars and even a treasure chest under the stairs, and even the vending machine spat out gold and dollar bills. Once they vacuumed literally everything, the squad jogged up the stairs, sucking up all of the trash obstructing their path and using that burst of air to knock aside a metal trash bin. At the top of the stairs, they pushed through the double doors and into the main lobby.
Each of the icons over the front desk now had a red "X" slashed over them, the paint dripping from the edges of the letters giving them a creepier appearance. The vibrant boxed gifts and the buffet were all gone, replaced with snarling jack-o-lanterns, balloons with grinning, glowing faces and several small piles of skulls. Raiden's gut went cold as he looked over the scene, as the X-Squad looked bored at this.
