Drexyl pulled Soda out of the way so they could see who was coming without being seen. When the group turned the corner and come into view, it was the very last thing they expected.

Drexyl and Soda both jumped into the hallway. “Fleek?”

The unexpected ambush caused several of the people in Fleek’s group to draw and aim weapons at the pair. Carpe put out a hand to them. “Stop. They’re with us.”

“Carpe!” Drexyl said. “It’s great to see you.” Then Drexyl looked around and saw familiar faces in the Regal crowd. He took a few steps back. The move didn’t go unnoticed from Carpe.

“Listen up, Regal,” Carpe said. “You guys may have thrown Drexyl here out of the casino, but here he’s now under the protection of Soda, the Neon Octopus and the rest of the Overlord Candidates. Nothing and I mean nothing happens to him. In fact, you mugs are to protect every single one of our new group. That goes for all the Overlord candidates including Mantix. We’re a team now, and we stick together no matter what.”

Drexyl smiled in relief.

Soda looked through the crowd and frowned. “Where’s Ari? Did she find the ring? She must have because Ray’s magic dice seem to have sprung to life. And also, Fleek, you no longer look like hell warmed over three days in a row.”

Fleek crossed to Soda. “She found it. It killed her.”

Soda’s face fell.

“Then it brought her back to life and told her to go hunt some monsters in the Regal basement or something.”

Soda had to fight the urge to punch him for telling her that Ari was dead even though she wasn’t. She now had like a million questions for him, but given his propensity to be dramatic, vague, and just plain weird, she figured she’d be better off getting the information later and from a more reliable source.

Then, as much as she didn’t want to, she thought of another pressing question. “Wait, so if Ari has the ring and Ray has his dice back, that must mean you’ve got fractals and stuff. Should we grab you a laptop?” Soda remembered that other than Ari’s powers, Fleek’s fractals had done the most damage to the alien invaders’ power. If he had his fractals back that might give them a fighting chance.

A broad grin spread out over Fleek’s face. “I’ll never need a laptop again. Ari gave me some sort of upgrade.” He made a fractal appear out of nowhere. And then he made it disappear.

“Very impressive. And good news,” Soda replied. “But what do you mean that Ari gave you an upgrade? You’re not a robot. I mean, are you a robot? You’ve always been odd, but I never pegged you as a mechanical type odd.”

“Not a robot,” he answered. “It was a magical upgrade. Apparently, the fractals and the Staars, and whatever the hell Ray’s dice are made of, are working together.”

Drexyl stepped forward. “Working together? You mean against this alien invasion? Do you mean to tell me we might actually have a chance here?”

“Probably not,” Carpe answered.
