Luminary

Episode 35 - Cheater

Madrid, Spain, Team Dark Members of Luminary enter a shop, give a password to the owner and go downstairs arriving in a secret base full of computers and IBI agents managing small troops all over the country.

Shilu: ¡Hola, amigos! Welcome to Madrid! Mi nombre es Shilu, and I'll be your main contact on your time in nuestro maravilloso país.

They all shake hands.

Sora: I think Jade would have been better here.

Leo: Sorry for the delay, the heat is...

Shilu: Ah yes, considering your victory in Portugal.

Leo: I mean, this feels unnatural...

Shilu: That's because it is, you see, Spain is in the middle of a large Civil War.

Leo: Civil War?

Nana: Ah yes, Catalonia's independence war.

Sora: How does a civil war affect the weather??

Shilu: Because Saisem, of course.

Leo: And what's this Civil War about?

Luiz: In short, the people of Catalonia never considered themselves as Spanish.

Leo: They want to be their own country?

Luiz: More or less, it's a political nightmare. When Saisem took over, they officially declared an all out war against the Spanish government and they won't stop until they are officially considered their own country, with their own sovereignty, etc.

Leo: And the Saisem does nothing to control that?

Luiz: Saisem can't care less for their conflict, as long as they pay tributes, give some super power babies to the Academy, swear loyalty, don't attack Saisem property, etc.

Shilu: But, because the war was reaching catastrophic levels, the officer on the Red King's castle established a permanent heat weather all over the country.

Nana: But why?

Luiz: The heat makes people sweat and get tired more quickly, which in turn makes the conflicts less... "Exaggerated"

Sora: But, the heat could wipe out the country??

Shilu: No, it's just enough to make people get tired, it's not deadly, just a bit of a pain, you know? Nothing that a pool day won't fix.

Sora: Oh, that's true. It's just I assumed with Saisem...

Shilu: So, what's the plan?

Leo: We came here to attack the Red King's local officer, destroy the castle, you know.

Luiz: We have a small army in Portugal awaiting our success to come in.

Shilu: Oh well, about that...

Sora: Um... what?..

Shilu: Considering your victory in Portugal and your friends victory in Ukraine and Belarus...

Leo: Yeah?

Shilu: Saisem started taking your team as a serious threat. Some will better their defense, but our officer here... Decided to make himself scarce.

Sora: How is this different than before?

Luiz: It means he ran away like a little bitch.

Sora: I thought that was punishable by death here?
