MEGALOS ep. 5 -
Almost done with the tutorial phase.
Still to come …
A Particular Kind of Character!
Big Flashbacks!
It Begins
Large, dim room.
Barry’s voice: At last I’ll have my revenge, and get back Blockhead!
Earlier …
We come along a cloud island full of junk. Discarded stuff.
Oh, look … Barry’s Mist Miners!
Oh, look … some junk is moving.
Oh, look … it’s a cannon!
Seirus does something Clever, examining the junk pile.
So we dodge slightly and get a glancing blow from the lightning bolt.
We’re still going down …
After the crash …
Need to keep the mole folk off the ship.
Xeric - Cautious ==> Fail!
Strong as an Aurochs Strength … Fail!
So, long and protracted battle. It’s their home turf, after all.
-1 Recover.
Carabas Quickly recces the island … Hitx3! Find a building that seems to be the central source of power.
Cut forward toward building.
In the building: stacks of junk being examined, disassembled.
Mist miners without their signature masks (they scamper away).
Aha! Central generator!
Figuring out how to disable – until Barry calls from overhead. “So you’re the ones in that ship … you take my robot, now you come for me! Now were ready for you! Steven! Hit the switch!”
Arc of lightning!
Seirus: looks like the focal point.
Lightning hits down a hole … and here comes the Big Robot!
It’s a BOSS!
