*Tazz creates a stone ladder leading out of the shaft. Everyone climbs back up, except Teal, who he kind of orders to stay beneath the surface a little while longer.*

*Surprisingly, the Sergeant Major and his troops-along with MUCH more than previous-are already waiting for you.*

Sergenat Major: You got the L00T?

Tazz: We didn't stat up Luck too much in our levels, and didn't bother killing the boss in a manner that left L00T round due to some...Rather bad qualities they possessed...So don't expect much, this is literally all they had. *Hands over the small bag of L00T.*

*Lie detectors nearby do NOT ping, meaning Tazz told the truth. The Sergeant Major is...Somewhat pleased.*

Sergeant Major: Excellent...

Tazz: So are we-

Sergeant Major: You want to know when you're free, a**?...When he says so! *Points to a man who is clearly a general*

General: You will bloody clear out every last f***ing dungeon until you die trying or you die of old age. Nidhogg's release was entirely-

*Someone else comes up, looking very, very distressed* SIR! SOMEONE'S CONTROLLING NIDHOGG! THEY'RE COMING INTO ORBIT!

General: ...What.

Courier: I REALLY DONT' HAVE TIME TO-

*Nidhogg appears, in all of his bloody glory, now flying overhead and on fire from air friction, making it look much worse. A single figure is atop Nidhogg, controlling it with some kind of spell. Tazz attempts a Dispell, but fails...*

The figure: WAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA! EVEN GODS BEND TO ME!

Tazz: FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOM!!!!!!!!!

Freedom: Die! hard! NOW!

*As Nidhogg approaches, another figure becomes visible riding Nidhogg. He jumps off, along with a load of other people who jump from orbit, ready to kill you guys to death. The battlefield is mostly a featureless grass meadow aside from the black spot where the crash was (they moved it) and the original cave mouth. There is no cover to speak of. Teal leaps out of the hole, ready to help fight, though the other two Elder Souls are nowhere to be seen.*

General:...I hate you even more now. If they're out to kill you-

Tazz: if they win, Armageddon happens. We're basically making sure they don't win by making sure they don't get things such as Nidhogg under their control, which you let happen because we weren't there to stop them getting control of such a powerful entity.

General:...I hate you even more now. As far as I'm concerned you have no excuse in that whatsoever...But, very well...

Sergeant Major: ORCS, GET MOVING!

*Oh. Apparently they're orcs. Well, that wasn't exactly obvious.*

Sergeant Major:...Wait, what's with-

Teal: Found myself down there, dug a hole to survive, they rescued me, on their side, don't kill me if you know who I am.

Sergeant Major:...OK...I'll believe that.

*The General nods. It looks like the General and your guys are on the same side...It's unknown where Arnold and HOPE, the other two Elder Souls you rescued are, though.*
