Part 31: Meeting Lupa




Update 31:


Since there is nothing more to do, it is time to see that Lupa thing.




Gale, as always, is all business. He can't have fun, you know.



"Don't ask me how, but I know dis."





The goddamn Solids' Citadel is bigger. And more annoying.




"As she said, Lupa is waiting over there."






"I don't know why I have this feeling, but... I'm sure of it."




First one must go down this flight of stairs. Stairs to THE DOOM OF oh wait, no, not yet. Red key needed first. And a lot of grinding. That'll have to wait.





Then this.




And lastly, this door here.




Learn, but not be bitter?



"Within the egg's shell, lost souls continue their circulation...
No... It shouldn't be like this."
This is relevant. Every "mysterious" thing Sera says is relevant.



"Still no match for me, though."
Heat is cocky. He does not know of Lupa's strength. And his Fire skills. Nope. No sir.




"He has the 'Lavaflow' Atma, and is an expert fighter.
Those who attack him are deafeated instantly."




"Why didn't we notice sumthing so obvious, eh?"





"The Karma Temple then grants them a new life...
That must be why..."






That is logical (otherwise, as Cielo said, there would be overflowing) and yet Mr. Roboto missed it.





Urm. The leader was facing him! Hee.

The Meeting with Lupa (Gamevee)
Gale has a great moment (Viddler)
Seriously, Crowning moment of Awesome there. (Youtube)




"I am Lupa, leader of the Wolves.
I am sorry for my previous discourtesy. I should have known you are a reasonable man.
I trust you will forgive me."

And then, CUTSCENE TIME!



Gale faces Lupa.





One would imagine that the Embryon would gladly accept a truce with the second most powerful Tribe (seriously, the Brutes are, well, the strongest one)
Also: Notice Lupa's necklace.
It's composed of Karma Rings. Trophies of his kills. If this was Highlander, he would be quite a powerful immortal.





...
Okay. Wait, what?
He is offering his own head to be removes as the condition?
I kind of fail to see how that would be advantageous to himself.




Or maybe he is just desperate. Varin cannot be stopped, he wants his men to survive. He cares about them.
Gale does NOT believe him, though.



And has concealed blades in his shoes. THAT does not bode well to Lupa.


ACTION BLUR ACTIVATE! (Seriously, watch the video)





He needs no lackeys to defend himself. He submits.





Of course he doesn't.  He will.

Sudden flash of comprehension.



Gone then.






The Waterways. Welcome to the MOST BORING SET OF DUNGEONS EVER.
Thematically, they work. But why must every optional boss be in one of these. Graaah.

Lupa is correct there.





She is.



None of the members of the Embryon can answer that positively.





Gale has no idea.

 FORESHADOWING! 




More flashbacks. Just who the hell is the person that cries?

Another flash of Comprehension.




But Gale, being Gale, suppresses it instantly. He has no need for comprehension, feelings, or disregard of the law.
He is probably the last person in the Junkyard to awake to humanity.





Oh shit. OBJECTION.

Varin, Beck, he already knows. And he doesn't like it. Not one bit.

Those Brutes soldiers have a nice little surprise waiting for them.

Cielo has no idea what he is talking about. Lupa is one of the most powerful Asuras that are out there. Possibly even the second most powerful.

Varin is the most powerful one. He has certain skills that make him far more dangerous than others.





He is more right than he knows.





He gives Cielo his own Ring. He is now out of the system. He is a renegade.







Gale... Bonding?






Lupa has taken his leave of them.
He is going to fight.




They are all oh so very fucked now.



Cerberus is on the trail.





"What the hell are you talking about!?"




Heee.



Beat Varin, information will be granted.


"Humans have a premature form during developement, roughly between 4 and 15 years of age..."




"That's correct--a child. Why didn't we notice this before?
Lupa was right, there are only fully adult humans here.
His words may lead us to the truth. Come on, we need to hurry."





"Serph, kid is the term for the maturing stage of a goat. Think more carefully."
How the hell does he know about goats?





Ah, Large Terminal, how useful you are.
