*back at Control*
I knew
they'd forgotten something.
You're
right they did. You told me I'd get some adventure.
Ok,
Rocket Knight. You'll get some.
Call me
Sparkster.
Ok...
Sparkster... (funny, that's what I named my dog).
Good.
Now, how
much am I going to pay you?
I work
for free. I don't need any money. Besides, I've seen the other
Mercanary you hired. Trust me, you're gonna need all the money
you can get.
Yeah.
You ain't kidding.
So
what's the plan, stan?
The name
is Tim... and the plan is to go into the Air Castle, get the Time
Machine, get out of there in time before I send the other
Mercanary. He will destroy the Air Castle and everything in it.
Good.
When do I leave?
*points
up* Whenever you're ready.
*flies
in, breathing heavily*
Chrissy?
What are you doing here?
They
have the others locked up. Those two goofs got them locked up.
I guess
we have a new plan then. Bust them out as well.
Who's
this?
*bows*
I am Sparkster, Rocket Knight. Handy with the sword and my rocket
pack.
Good.
Get them out, get the Time Machine, then get out before
everything blows up.
Blows
up? You can't do that!
Why not?
Orakio
is in there!
What???
I didn't see him or send him.
The
Dark Entity. He possessed him!
Great.
Just great.
What
do you suppose we do?
I've
already deployed the Airship to take and drop off the Mercanary
in exactly 1 hour.
We'll
have to hurry then.
One
hour? Orakio will die!
... I
know.
We've
got to save him!
You can
try, but don't kill yourself in the process.
I
have to try. *flies away*
Sparkster...
Yeah?
Get the
assignment done. Don't worry about Orakio. If this explosion can
kill the Dark Entity, then I'm sure that Orakio would want it
this way.
Right.
Good
luck.
Save it
for someone who needs it. *sets his rocket pack off and flies
through the roof*
*tiles
crash on his head* Figures.
