"...Goodness!" exclaimed Gobbo. "Over here!"
"Now what?"
MadGoblin points to an insignia on a wall. It is an image of a shuriken within an..onion ring?
..."What in blazes is this supposed to mean?" MadGoblin inquires.
"That should be pretty obvious," says a cold voice behind him.
"M-Mace Windu? What, by the name of Reality's End are you doing here?"
"I? Oh, to your small-Mindforced heads, I'm just running an errand for Queen Zeal-"
"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE, WINDU! Baruk khazad, khazad ai-menu!" An adept axe-hew cleft Mace Windu to the ground.
"Thank you, Gimli, you may leave," says LieutenantEagle. "For your references, that is the insignia of the Onion Time-Warp."
"The - what?" MadGoblin asks.
"Ah - right. A certain prophecy states that 'he who consumes a Summon-Shuriken alongside an Onion Ring of Time shall obtain the force to traverse the space-time continuum at will'. You are the first mortal who has satisfied this requirement."
"But how -"
"Think Quidditch and don't ask. Hmm...MadGoblin, I must tell you that your party is unfortunately under-equipped. You are the only one who has any chances of despatching foes."
"Why me?"
"Well, it's quite tough to explain. Here, this should aid you in your quest."
Hands over 20 Onion Rings
"When you consume an Onion Ring, you will enter the Bullet Time environment. You will be a human Kamaitachi until the effects expire. For your friends, the Onion Ring will do nothing more than replenish Health Points."
"Umm, Lieutenant?" asks boyachi. "How did Gimli get here?"
"I used a complex Summon-spell. Yeah, I'm sorry but you can't get it.
"WHY?" MG asks.
"It's one of those things granted only to the Retainers of Light. If I were you, and were serious about gathering offensive Summon-spells, here."
Hands over four Spamslash Edges
"Use these for a while, and you'll learn the First Four of Offensive Summons."
"Which are?" Gobbo inquired.
"Summon Sword, Summon Spear, Summon Arrow, and Summon Staff."
To be...continued?
