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!
