The adventurers arrived at the crater that used to be the Nexus, dead bodies of both men and Locusts littering the ground. "Well, guess that takes care of that quest." Ram said, when they suddenly heard the shout of "LEVEL UP!!!"
The group turned and saw a plain man, standing a ways back from them, quickly catching up to them. "Sorry I'm late, but you wouldn't believe the traffic during War hour. What I miss?" he cheerfully said. When he spotted Ragnorak's new scythe, he started shouting "NEW ITEM! DU-DUH-DUH-DAHH! WEAPON, MAGICAL SCY..." but was cut off by Lazor Cat's lazor incinerating him.
"Ok, so...now what?" Ram asked the group in general.
"CURSE YOU, HEROES!" came a shout from above. The group looked up and saw a old man with a jetpack above them. "CURES YOU! YOU BLASTED HEROES HAVE RUINED MY PLANS YET AGAIN!"
"Ok, first mate, we just showed up here, so this is you fault." Lazor Cat said, indicating the surrounding carnage. "And second, we never met you before."
Ram quickly pushed Lazor Cat, dodging the bullet from the old man's pistol.
"I'M CHARGING MAH LAZORS!!!" Lazor Cat screamed, but was stopped by Ram. "Stop, you fool! He's obviously a boss for a big quest!" Ram scoldingly said. The old man shouted some more threats and such, of getting revenge and the group never being able to find him, and then he flew off into the sunset, and got a sever sunburn from it.
"Well, great. Now how are we supposed to find him?" Lazor Cat accusinly said to Ram.
"Just wait a second." Ragnorak said, humming a tune while rocking on his palms.
"Wait for wha.." Lazor Cat started, but was interrupted by a small boy popping out of a dirt pile.
"Oh, kind sirs! Please, I beg of thee, helpeth me with a quest, for it is of dire emergencyeth. If you helpeth me-th, I caneth show youeth to the Lion's Pride hideout..eth."
Ragnorak gave a sigh of content. "Ahh, NPCs. You got to love them."
As the group followed the young boy while he lead them to their task, Lazor Cat suddenly stopped, sniffing the air. "Wait, it can't be..." he mumbled to himself. "Not...Master Kitty?" He quickly shook of his thoughts, and rushed after the group.
