=====================================================================================================

In the mountains of the Never-Realm, Vex is wandering around and stumbles upon a castle and sees warriors marching out.

Vex: Huh?

He kneels down, semi-hiding himself. He hears spears pulled out, and gasps when he turns around to see some of the warriors and surrenders. Two warriors bring Vex to Grimfax.

Warrior: An intruder, my Lord. We found him skulking outside.

Vex rips himself away from the warriors.

Vex: Not skulking! Walking. I am a traveler from the South. I come seeking you, Oh, king.

Grimfax: For what?

Vex: To offer my services as an advisor.

Grimfax: I have an advisor already.

He points to the advisor writing something down, who pauses and glares at Vex, then continues writing.

Vex: Ah, but does he know the Formlings?

The advisor looks up, confused, and looks to Grimfax.

Vex: They are a tribe of dangerous shape-shifters, who live to the south of the mountains. Even now, they scheme against you, plotting and planning.

Grimfax looks bored.

Grimfax: So say you. . . Vex.

He whips his head sharply at him and Vex is surprised.

Grimfax: Yes, I know who you are. You are Vex the Formless. I know of your lies. Formlings have never troubled us and we will not trouble them. Give him food, water, and a decent cloak and send him on his way, before his jealousy sours us all.

Vex: You will regret this moment. All of you! I will return! And you will wish you had treated me better!

He leaves the castle, full of revenge. Two Ice Fishers are cooking their fish and walk away to have a small conversation. Vex sees they have left their fish and tries to take it.

Vex: Ah. Mmhmm.

He tiptoes over to the fish and takes it.

Ice Fisher: Hey! You there! Stop!

Vex drops the fish and runs away. He walks away farther into the woods, his stomach growling. He tries to capture a chicken, but it leaps above him just as he lunges at it. It pecks at him, squawking angrily, then flies away. Vex then sees a trail of berries, which leads him to a berry bush. He picks the berries hungrily and accidentally awakens a wolf. It chases him away until he is a good distance from the berry bush. He sleeps uncomfortably on a ledge when suddenly, a Water gun drops out from a Portal.

Vex: Oh.

He walks over to inspect the piece.

Vex: What?

A portal opens up again and a Titan Mech's arm drops out, some fingers still functioning.

Vex: Ahh!

The portal opens up once more and Vex braces himself as the rest of the mech comes down.

Vex: What is that?

He walks away cautiously and stops when The portal opens up for the last time and Zane and the Scroll of the Forbidden Spinjitzu fall out.
