"What are you talking about?" I half-laughed. Just then, the plane halted to stop just in the middle of what could have been a perfect crash which made my stomach turn the wrong way. I was left stunned at how in a single wave of the old grizzled face's hand, the plane landed safely. At the same time, nauseated enough to cover my mouth.

Crap, it's coming.

I scurried to get off the plane in the fastest I could and let my throat do it's thing at a leaf bed on rich forest earth, right beside an oak tree. The scumbag landed the plane in who-knows-where in the map this tree-y forest is. Ughh..

"Is there anything else I need to know about you?" I rasped. My face, all warped up in confusion. I have so many damn questions to ask right now. And as if THAT wasn't enough, he suddenly transformed into this younger 20's-ish version of himself infront of me like some kind of fairy godmurderer.

"I apologize for introducing myself in such an unpleasant timing, Your Majesty. I am Internet Explorer. A soldier of the Elite Imperial Army." he smiled in a way that almost gave me diabetes.

"The fuck? You killed Capt. Smith you douche!!"

"Capt. Smith, he.... Was a wanted crimminal mastermind known by many names. The Imperial Army calls him by the name of "Raven"."his voice, coating each syllable with a sharp calm end. Wait, what? A criminal? You're kidding me, right? I I clicked my tongue and grimaced. I can't believe this guy.

In the far corner of my sight, a set of yards before us, I caught sight of a tall tower.

And a hydra...?

"Your Majesty, are you listening to what I'm saying?" he seems to notice my dead attention and followed my line of sight. "God..."

"Your landing was perfect!" I laughed. "Look, the tower's over there, now all we have to do is--"

"Your Majesty, listen. There's not much time. I will lend you my power so you can kill him. We have to act now." he looks at me dead serious.

"Wait a minute, soldier. This is MY mission. I'm doing this alone."

"The Imperial Army sent me to kill you, okay?! But then I see now.... I see now... That you're the only one who can do this. But you need my help. "

I narrowed my eyes at him, wondering where he's going with this. What is he expecting me to react? Insulted? Afraid? I have no time for his shit whatever it is, I can deal it later. "Umm..... thanks..? I think...? Yeah well, let's go save a princess."
