"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!" Zone yells at Atlus as he surrounds himself in red aura. "NO ONE HURTS MY FRIENDS AND GETS AWAY WITH IT!" 

"Dorovell, calm yourself. You don't know what is happening." Atlus replies. 

"YOU MEAN OTHER THAN YOU'RE OWN FUNERAL?! YOU-wait who's Dorovell?" 

"Oho, crap, I'm alive!" Tucker cries in relief. Zone and Atlus look to see Tucker and Sister standing there unscathed by the lightning bolt that had struck them. 

"Ho-holy crap, I'm glad this visor's tinted." Sister says rubbing her helmet. 

"Aaaarrrgggghhh!" Atlus roars and strikes the ground with blue lightning, while Tucker and Sister remain unaffected. 

"My arm hair's all staticky. Is that what you meant to do?" Tucker asks the god. 

"Can you smite me just here, on my back? I've got this wicked knot." Sister groans. 

"How-?" Zone says shocked and confused. 

Atlus roars again and blasts the ground with fire. Tucker and Sister are still unaffected.

"Oh yeah, right there." Sister says blissfully. 

"So, my sister spoke truth." Atlus growls. "You Shisno are truly under the protection of Him. Even my infinite power cannot pass through his cursed firewall." 

"Cool story, bro. We're gonna go ahead and get out of here now if that's all right with you." Tucker scoffs. 

"Oh, I am far from finished." The King raises his right hand from which a puff of blue smoke appears, shoots straight outward and smashes into a cliff behind Tucker and Sister. The smoke clears to reveal a blue portal, from which emerges a mysterious monster. "It is true I cannot harm you directly; however, my friend here, he-uh, sorry. What was your name again?" 

"BROOOOOOOOOG!" The monster yells. 

"Brog here can do whatever he pleases! As a cyclops, nothing will please him but ripping you apart and feasting on your entrails!" 

"BROOOOOOOOOG!" The Cyclops yells again. 

"Brog indeed." Atlus chuckles. 

"Aaaaaaagh! Aaaaaaagh!" Sister yells as she, Tucker, and Zone run away. The Cyclops stomps after them. 

"Aaagh, let's get the heck out of here!" Tucker shouted running. 

"Are you sure, Tucker? You could show me how great a fighter you really are." Sister snickers. 

Tucker stops running. "Yeah. Yeah, I guess I could!" 

"What? Why have you stopped running? Tucker, she was just being sarcastic, let's get the heck out of here!" Zone says urgently. 

Tucker just rolls his shoulders. "You know, I could use the workout. I've been falling behind on my training lately." 

The Cyclops approaches close behind Tucker.

"Yeah, do it! You wuss!" Atlus taunts. 

"Tucker, shove that giant ego back in your suit and let's get out of here! It's a cyclops!" Sister reminds him. 

"Oh, come on! How is one eye scarier than two?" 

Sister rolls her eyes. "Fine! If you want to kill yourself, at least give me the time-" 

The Cyclops roars and swats Tucker's rifle out of his hand, sending it flying into the distance.

"Welp! Good luck, have fun!" Sister then runs off.
