Luminary

Episode 23 - Price of Fame

In an European castle, Envy, the Red King of Saisem, was looking at the horizon as a helicopter approached and landed. He looked at the machine while Dennis got out of it.

Envy: You stupid piece of... Do you know what you and your little operation have cost me?!

Dennis: Envy, buddy, let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Envy: Oh, I'm sorry, I may be overreacting because, in one single night, Saisem lost an entire continent!

Dennis: Look, I'll admit, I underestimated our enemies.

Envy: Your enemies! The Luminary team are YOUR problem! YOUR failure! You manipulated me into accepting your zombie dragon, which you resurrected on my territory, without my permission, and your army on one of the most important locations in asia!

Dennis: That's because I knew they would come!

Envy: Yes, they did come and they helped the IBI take the entire China, which culminated in the IBI freeing all Asia, except Russia.

Dennis knew he couldn't talk his way out of this one, he prepared the perfect trap for Luminary and that backfired catastrophically.

Envy: I protected you, helped you, trusted you! And now the supreme leader blames me for the loss of territory.

Dennis: Envy...

Envy: But what are you supposed to know about that? You only have North America to worry about. Now I only have Europe, North of Africa and Russia.

Dennis: Ah, well, about that...

The Helicopter's pilot comes out.

Envy: Who's that?

Dennis: Envy, this is Lilu, the supreme leader's younger brother.

Lilu: Ha! What a crying shame that you didn't recognize me.

Envy: The Supreme Leader has a brother?

Dennis: Yes, and he's taking Russia.

Lilu: Correct, for your failure in controlling the eastern hemisphere, I'm taking all of Russia from you.

Envy looked at Dennis who shrugged.

Lilu: Consider yourself lucky, the only reason you aren't dead yet for incompetence was due to Dennis' failure. Besides, you keep Europe! There's north of africa as well, but, really, my brother couldn't care less from that territory.

Envy: So what now? You are the third Saisem King?

Lilu: Yes, you may call me the "Snow King".

Dennis: Haha. Russia. Snow. Very funny.

Envy: So what we'll do with Luminary?

Lilu: Absolutely nothing.

Dennis: Excuse me?

Lilu: My sister-in-law will handle Luminary. Personaly.

Envy: The Empress? Isn't that overkill?

Lilu: You just lost one continent, that's overkill. She's already on their trail and it's just a matter of time until she annihilates every single one of them.

Meanwhile, in some paradise island in Oceania.

Nana: Oh, be quiet... There's people trying to sleep here.

Nana rolled in her bed, annoyed at the voices outside, until the memories of the fight came to her mind and she opened her eyes.

Nana: Where the--
