Asher: Are we there yet?

Bradley: I don't know.

Asher: Are we there yet?

Bradley: I don't know!

Asher: Are we there yet?

Bradley: (Yelling) I DON'T KNOW!

Ten Seconds After The Last Chapter...

[Asher and Bradley continue running down the King's underground fighting arena hallway, looking for an exit. The hallway the two are running down looks the same as it did ten seconds ago. No trouble but no sign of escape ahead. After Bradley yells at Asher, the two quickly quiet down but continue to run.]

Asher: So uhh–

[Bradley angrily takes his cigarette out of his mouth and looks at Asher.]

Bradley: (Irritated) If you say, "Are we there yet?" again, I might just have to break my contract and kill you.

Asher: *Chuckles* Ha! No, no. I just wanted to ask if you have any clue who these guys are?

[Bradley loses his irritated expression. He puts his cigarette back into his mouth and blows a cloud of smoke into the air beside him.]

Bradley: You mean the ones raiding the arena?

[He turns his attention back forward down the hallway.]

Bradley: I'm not sure, but it has to be one of the larger groups in the city.

Asher: As in group, do you mean like a... Like a gang?

Bradley: It could be a gang, a business, an organization, or some big-shot Overlords lackeys. But taking into account how loud and rude these idiots are, I think it's safe to say that it's one of the more prominent gangs that lurk in the city.

Asher: Which gang?

Bradley: Hell if I know. But there aren't many that are cocky enough to attack The King's like this. Let alone have enough firepower to back up a war against them... Picking a fight with an Overlord isn't something you just decide to do on a whim.

Asher: Hmmm...

Asher: It's something I would do on a whim.






Bradley: (Yelling) YEAH, BECAUSE YOU'RE RETARTED!

*Muffled Boom*

[Another explosion goes off. This one sounds a fair distance away above ground.]

Asher: They're still blowing things up? Haven't they destroyed this place enough?

Bradley: Who knows? These guys may just be interested in wrecking the place. Or worse, it could be reinforcements or counter raiders.

Asher: It could be more raiders?!

[Asher blows some smoke out of his nose.]

Bradley: *Agreeing Grunt* Uh-huh. If it is them, odds are they're here to see what they can steal from both sides.

[Bradley grunts, annoyed, and grits his teeth.]

Bradley: *Annoyed Grunt* Egghhhr.... Always getting involved with turf wars and giving me more crap to report on! *Growls* Grrrrrrrrr...
