Post by Percival C. McLeach // Joanna on Dec 19, 2019 16:21:40 GMT
McLeach wasn't phased by the Horned King's actions towards Xerxes, but his face did light up with devilish delight as the Horned King let them know where everyone went.
"Good to know," he mentioned, walking away. "But I'll have to catch up with you two later."
He went to pick up the sleeping Joanna and placed her on top of the crate of ammunition he had. "I'm going to put Joanna somewhere comfortable before I position myself around the Garden's perimeter. I'm a marksman, after all, so I'm better at a distance than being put in the middle of whatever's going on."
He picked up the crate with Joanna and began to walk away before calling back, "If you can, save a piece of the action for me," before walking away to his room.
[[I'll post something there at some point before joining everyone in the Garden]]

McLeach's eyes, for a moment, changed from anger to welcoming shock as the Horned King actually healed Joanna. Like, he actually did it. "Well, I'll be," he muttered gently, loud enough for the Lich to hear, as he watched Joanna start to breath more normally. "I didn't actually expect that." He lowered his gun for a moment as he looked back at the King with gratitude. "I appreciate that. I mean, she's in for a world of trouble when she can get back on her feet, but I appreciate your help. Although, I guess I should ask if this means I owe you somethin' like a favor which, to be frank, I ain't got much on me outside of a map of the castle you could copy." "WHAT IS GOING ON!?!" McLeach's attention suddenly shifted to someone new. He turned to see the rather scrappy teenager run up towards him and the Lich with lots of sciency stuff on him. He was a little taken back by the barrage of questions, but he was both relieved to have some of his own questions answered as well as get back to focusing on some pressing matters. "So you're the raccoon's owner," he realized. "And, to be frank, kid, we don't know exactly what happened to make Ruddi...the raccoon turn into a werewolf. All that we know is that Mozenrath's crystal could have helped us solve the issue earlier but Negaduck stole it. He's currently acting on his own selfish instincts and already turned on all of us. That's why your raccoon, Mozenrath, and Clayton are after him." "Meanwhile, my name's Percival C. McLeach," he continued, putting one hand on his hip while using the other to rest his gun on his shoulder. "The goanna here is mine and...(he realized he didn't properly know the Horned King's name, so he just decided to go with pronouns mid-sentence)...he healed her from a wound Negaduck just gave her." (OOC: Oops, forgot to have Varian introduce himself to McLeach. Pretend this happened before my last post.) Varian quickly grabbed McLeach's hand and shook it rapidly as he spoke almost just as quickly. "Hi. Varian. Alshemist! I'd love to give a better introduction but first I've got to deal with my rampaging racoon." As he shook McLeach's hand, he did take note of the strange metal object he was carrying and put it in the back of his mind. For now, his priority was helping Ruddiger. He looked towards the Horned King hoping he might have some answers. |

The Horned King made no comment as McLeach departed. There was no point in questioning the hunter in his decision to place Joanna in further harm, especially so now that Varian - a fellow pet owner - was here. He noted the alchemist's reaction towards his own "treatment" of Xerxes; this continuing compassion for lesser creatures was so foreign to the Horned King, but no matter.
Once McLeach had gone, the king turned to Varian. "We shall make haste for the gardens, then, young Varian. Prepare yourself - the others may be engaged with the duck right at this very moment."
Clutching Xerxes, the lich honed in on the garden's location. Soon, the area around them grew dark, and blue electricity began to surge around the two, swirling round and round.
"Do not stray far from the spell, lest you desire to become one with the foliage... or worse," the Horned King warned, as blue light began to envelop the three of them.
And, with a final fiery flash, the king, the alchemist, and the eel were gone from outside of the storage.
[OOC: Moving on over to join the brawl in the gardens!]

While everybody was too distracted dealing with his ink replica in the Laboratory, Negaduck already has his hideout on lockdown, meaning there's no way anyone can break down his newly installed metal door & even if anybody can get through, Negaduck already prepared some traps upon entry.
"Ok, that should be the last of it!" Negaduck proclaim upon finish construction his Teleporter thanks to not only all the magic he drained from the crystal but his enhanced speed and strength when he was Mega Negaduck.
"Now for the moment of truth, a testing is required." Negaduck pulls out a remote that allows him operate the teleporter without using the monitor right next to teleporter. Negaduck grabbed an red apple to take one bite beforehand via remote opens up a portal & throws the same apple into the portal. Once the apple has vanished, Negaduck began his evil laughter, meaning it was a success project!
"I can't believe it! It's finally finished and it's all thanks to my hard workmanship! Sure I might've been despise by certain idiots over here, but I always look out for number one and in this case, that would be me! Let's see how they'll follow me now once I go through my teleporter!" Negaduck continues speaking for himself and shortly stretch his arms. "But you know after all this chasing around, battling, and construction has wore me out. I suppose I'll take a quick snooze before I make my departure." Negaduck shuts off his Teleporter/Monitor, place the remote into his pockets, grabbed a pillow, and lay down on a ruined sofa as Negaduck tilts his red fedora to cover up his eyes.

Flitting into the room out of curiosity, Xerxes took stock of the room. Was that big metal thing there before? He was almost certain not...but he never had been the most perceptive of enchanted eels.
It took him far too much time to notice, passed out on the couch -
"DUCK?"
The target! The one Mozenrath was after! Surely Mozenrath would be glad to know that the enemy was close by and easily defeatable! Good job, Xerxes!
But...was Negaduck actually asleep? Oh, if he wasn't, that might pose problems.
So Xerxes, never good at thinking things through at all, hovered in front of Negaduck, slowly peeling up the brim of the hat to see if the duck's eyes were open or closed.

After leaving the laboratory, Turbo headed for the storage room, only to find it blocked by a metal door. He didn't recall ever seeing that thing before. He was sure Negaduck had put it there to prevent any intruders coming in. Like he cared. Negaduck had to pay for his treachery. Turbo entered Cy-Bug mode, and tried to pull the door open. It didn't budge. He then tried slashing at the door. Not a single scratch was left. Then he took some distance, curled into a ball, and rolled towards the door. (OOC: Negaduck and Mozenrath, is it okay if I leave it up to you what happens to the door next?) |

Buuuuuut then I remembered I already established Xerxes has gotten through here via air vents before. But wait for Negaduck before breaking anything.] |

(OOC: Again, I’m so sorry for the long response, got busy with RL stuff. ^^‘)
Negaduck was indeed napping away, unaware Xerxes tilt his hat covering his eyes. “For the last night, I told you to keep your lousy flowers out of my way Bushroot! The next time it happens, I’ll put on your tombstone.” Negaduck, still asleep briefly rised up his upper body, threaten another associate of his in his sleep talk before laying his head back down to his pillow.
Few moments later; He began hearing something loud was pounding against the newly installed steel door. By this sudden surprise, Negaduck finally gets himself awaken, looking rather annoyed, opens up the new metal door and sees something was rolling into his direction.
“Yeah what is it and what do you *squish* want?” Negaduck unaware it was Kind Candy in Cy-Bug form just rolled into Negaduck, which results him get flattened in a cartoonish matter but blows himself back to normal.

[OOC: Please don't say things like "Hopefully he doesn't take too much longer." We all have busy lives and I understand if people are slow. I apologize if it seemed like I was trying to rush it - I was trying to just explain why I wasn't making a move yet. I myself only post here like 1-2 times a day because I have a lot to do. Coming back to read that can make people feel guilty, and we're all here to have fun without guilt!] |

Xerxes quickly ducked behind a crate, observing from his hiding place.
Where was Mozenrath? How could he inform him of this development?

After rolling into the storage, King Candy uncurled and looked at the one he flattened. It was a duck wearing a yellow jacket, a black mask, a red hat, and a cape. There was no denying it - this was Negaduck! "So you're the one who's been causing trouble in this castle, huh? First you walk away when I explain my backstory to Varian and Mozenrath, then you destroy the thorn gardens, and then you run off like a coward and let some imposter distract us! Now, you'll face the most powerful virus in the arcade!" |

Hearing heard of this creature’s rant, still couldn’t remember who or what his name was, but he did mentioned about Varian & Mozenrath and if Candy’s association with those two, then they probably duped him into doing the dirty work for them. “Ohh a big bad virus, am I so scared. What will I ever do?” Negaduck pretends being afraid of King Candy’s Cy-Bug form, but really he wasn’t afraid meanwhile has a secret remote behind his back, which Negaduck press a button on same remote, where a big cannon appeared from underneath, automatic locks on Candy, and shoots out a giant cannonball directly at him. |

King Candy tried to dodge the cannonball, but while he had super speed, he was too large, as the cannonball hit him on the head. "Ouch! Now you're gonna get it!" he shouted, as he lunged at Negaduck. |
