Ruddiger scampered ahead of Varian as he headed back to the lab. Ruddiger passed the storage again when he heard some strange noises. Curiosity getting the better of him, Ruddiger went inside the storage. He followed the source of the noise to a box that was shaking. The raccoon slowly crept towards the box, getting more and more nervous about what was inside. "Yep! Bullets," Joanna exclaimed in animal, finally opening the box. "Oh, McLeach is gonna give me a lotta eggs for this one!" She giggled as she raised her head in pride...only to look directly at a creature she had never seen before. "What the-" she gasped, trying to figure out how this triangle-faced monkey snuck up on her while she was digging loudly into the box. "How did you...Ah, who cares?" She jumped out of the box, knocking it over and spilling shotgun shells out in the process. She landed directly in front of Ruddiger, looking down on him with an intimidating look. "This box is mine," she growled. "Piss off!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [[Turns out that they don't have raccoons in Australia]] Ruddiger screamed as this strange creature suddenly appeared. Ruddiger ran in a blind panic and accidentally bumped into a stack of boxes. As the raccoon tried to pick himself up, the pile of boxes became unstable. Soon the tower of boxes fell and the result was chaos as there was an avalanche of boxes and their contents flying all over the place. Ruddiger jumped around and tried to dodge the flying debris as well as the monster.

As Joanna looked up, her mean face also turned into that of panic. "Ah piss..." She had no time to speak as the boxes began falling around her. She also scurried around, trying to dodge boxes and what came out of them. "Holy hell!" she shouted, stopping short as a box fell in front of her face. She quickly dodged another as she turned to the intruder and asked infuriated, "What are you trying to do? You trying to get us killed?" |

Ruddiger merely nervously shrugged at the beast as it looked very angry. Rudiger couldn't speak it's language, but knew what ever it was saying, it was really mad at him. It wasn't his fault, it was an accident. But somehow, Ruddiger doubted this monster would believe him even if he could speak to it. So Ruddiger decided it was time to run away from the scary creature again. He scurried past the mess trying to find a away out of the room. |

Joanna called back, not caring if it could speak back or not. She quickly gave chase, accidentally sliding into a few more boxes as she did. Unknown to the two animals, though, McLeach finally found his way to the storage after his stop at Facilier's Parlor and even his bedroom real quick, trying to trace his steps to the important areas on the map. "Alright, then," McLeach muttered, marking a note down on his map. "Now I know how to get to the storage area from my pad. Now all I need to do is-" CRASHMcLeach was interrupted by the sound of a box of something breakable falling on the floor inside the Storage Room. "Oh don't tell me..." McLeach quickly put his pen and map away as he took out his Winchester and opened the door. As he stepped inside, he was quick to see Joanna chasing the raccoon. "JOANNA!" This got Joanna to pause immediately. "Ah, piss," she spoke in the animal language, knowing that she was in trouble. |

While Negaduck awaits Ratigan informing him regarding the conversation with Varian and looking over his Teleporter plans, he figured it’s best he makes his return to his base of operations.
“With the wheels slowly beginning turning into the motions, phase one of my big plan is coming together nicely. Now while I await for the results, I better give my base a redecoration before I get anymore unwelcome company.”
And as soon as Negaduck said those exact words, he hears noise coming from the Storage and what he can make out, 2 animal noises and another human male voice. Negaduck sticks his head into the Storage and witness an grown man berating his pet lizard and the same raccoon that ate his sandwich. Negaduck steps in, basically blocking the entrance and noticed some boxes been knocked down.
“What is exactly going on in here?!”

Joanna was quick to cower in fear and back up a few steps when a second being entered, just as enraged as McLeach. "Who the hey are you?" she stuttered in the animal language, looking back from McLeach to the newcomer over and over again. For a split moment, she completely forgot about Ruddiger.
Unfortunately, for her, she was unaware if Negaduck would be able to understand her language.
McLeach, meanwhile, was too focused on Joanna to hear Negaduck at the moment. He stormed up to Joanna, who was quick to back up...only to bump into a set of shelves. Her weight, as small as it was, was able to knock it off base for a moment. McLeach was quick to grab the shelf to try and steady it before turning to Joanna again.
"What kind of stunt are you trying to pull here?" he shouted at her, waving his shotgun around slightly. "Don't you realize that there could be things here that could kill you in an instant? Living weapons? Magical explosives? I sent you here to try to find bullets. Not chase around some other creature that could very well be someone else's pet the same way you're mine!"
He gestured towards Ruddiger for a moment, which made Joanna cross for a moment before feeling bad for making it's master mad.
"Now...I know it's not something we usually do," McLeach grumbled. "But I need you to apologize to that raccoon while I..."
And that's when he noticed Negaduck at the entrance.
"...I'm sorry, who are you?" he asked the fowl fellow, his shotgun at the ready in both hands. "And what do you want?"

When the tall man in the funny clothes arrived, Ruddiger felt he had a chance to escape. It seemed whoever he was, he was the master of the weird giant lizard thingie. Ruddiger ran towards the entrance as fast as his little legs could. But as he looked back to make sure the lizard wasn't following, he failed to notice Negaduck blocking his path. He slowly backed away as he recalled the duck from when they were all summoned. The duck seemed very dangerous. Ruddiger wasn't sure which one was more dangerous, the mad lizard or the mad duck.

“It seems we haven’t met yet or assuming you’re one of the new arrivals? In any case, the name is Negaduck & in case you’ve lost directions, this room happens to be my base of operations. I would say that if I get things more cleared up in here. Now it’s my turn to ask, who are you and what exact do you seek in here?”
Negaduck enters the room, approaches McLeach, who has his shotgun close up to Negaduck’s face. Most would be terrorized having a gun close to their face, especially a shotgun, but not Negaduck. He maintains his focus towards the hunter & waits for a response to his question.

As the Duck seemed distracted by the man and the lizard, Ruddiger slowly tip toed around the duck. He tried began to walk as quietly as possible to the exit. He hoped neither party spotted him or he would be in big trouble.

Most would be terrorized having a gun close to their face, especially a shotgun, but not Negaduck. He maintains his focus towards the hunter & waits for a response to his question. Seeing how Negaduck was being relatively civil about the situation, McLeach lifted his shotgun to rest on his shoulder as he took a more relaxed stance. "I probably am one of the later arrivals," he noted aloud as he put his full focus on Negaduck. "Either way, my name is Percival C. McLeach. The idiot lizard over there is Joanna, my pet." He gestured quickly with his head towards Joanna as he mentioned her as she gave a quick wave with her clawed hand. "I came here looking for some ammunition for my shotgun and sniper rifle. Just want to make sure I'm fully prepared for the missions to come." Joanna, admittedly, was incredibly curious about this larger-than-usual duck that could talk to her master. "This is incredible," she wondered allowed in her animal language...while unaware that he probably doesn't understand her. Meanwhile, McLeach looked back at the mess on the floor before continuing his talk with Negaduck. "Apologies about the mess here. Didn't think I'd have to teach the salamander that she shouldn't be attacking anyone in this castle. I can help you reorganize things if you want." |

"Ohh tell me about it, I been surrounded by superpower idiots before, so your lizard must be related to them. And I hoped -..." Negaduck paused for a moment and remembers something else. "Would you pardon me for a moment?"
Negaduck pulls out a knife from his pockets and throws directly at Ruddgier, freezing him in his tracks just a knife above his head.
"Now where do you think you're going you, sandwich thief?" Negaduck walks towards the raccoon & picking him up on the back of his fur. "I don't want you wandering alone again, so you can wait in this cage until your master comes looking for you!" Negaduck opens up a small cage, thrown Ruddgier inside, and then place a lock.
Negaduck returns to McLeach, picking up where they were last discussion. "Now where was I? Ahh yes. If you wanted to help me reorganize a few things in here, that would be so swell. In fact, I might throw in a little bonus." Given McLeach is someone like Negaduck loves using guns, Negaduck brings out a small box, unveiling a box full of ammunition.

As Ruddiger was grabbed by Negaduck, he screamed and resisted as best he could. But sadly, it was all in vain as he was imprisoned in the cage. He looked at to the cage screaming and begging with sad puffy eyes. Maybe the other man might free him. He didn't look too friendly, but maybe he was an animal lover if he cared for the lizard. |

Well, Xerxes had certainly gotten lost.
He'd tried to follow Mozenrath to the Thorn Gardens, but ended up directionless in the sharp tangle. So, through a series of events he couldn't exactly remember the order of, he ended up slinking through a narrow stone passage that he supposed served as the castle's ventilation system.
Modern, yet with an ancient twist. Mozenrath would like that.
But where was he? He surely couldn't be happy with Xerxes for being absent so long! ...Well, that is, if Mozenrath had noticed he was gone. Really, it was always a coin toss between Mozenrath being angry or Mozenrath being apathetic, every time Xerxes wandered off.
He came to the grate that overlooked the storage, peering out just in time to see Negaduck tossing Ruddiger into a cage.
The poor thing looked about ready to cry. Xerxes snickered a bit at his suffering -
But wait.
Hadn't Xerxes felt that way before? Was Ruddiger not a familiar, just like him? Was Xerxes effectively turning his back on his own kind by taking schadenfreude in Ruddiger's pain?
On the spur of the moment, Xerxes realized he had to do something about this. (He was nothing if not loyal, and even Mozenrath would begrudgingly attest to it.) He judged that he could slip through the bars of the grate, into the chamber...but with that duck waving his magic portable cannon around? Probably not a good idea to just swoop in.
No. He would wait, and see if an opening turned up.
