"I'm sure he did. This is likely just to get us to get overconfident." Jasmine warned.
Surely enough, the city starts to freeze as a mage looking like Pridius comes in riding a giant ice turtle with a yeti behind him.
"Nice!" Robby said as he knocks an ice soldier into a pack of other soldiers. "Be careful when y'all get here. It's getting colder by the minute."
Meanwhile, Tyson sees Pridius waiting on him.
"You showed up alone. I respect that." Pridius said.
"Of course, and I see you've done the same."...
"My parents used to tell me about this. And some of my professors did too. I didn't pay much attention, but they warned me about him. They told me he was very scary and dangerous." Maya said as she looked at Miandiya and then back at Machinos. "Even so, I can't run away. Those people in that...
"I figured he would pull a stunt like this." Jasmine said.
"Of course." Robby added. "Come on! We've got ices to kick!" He runs out and gets into his jet.
Tyson nods and gives Hunter a kiss. "I shall return." He opens the scroll and it glows, turning into an icy blue light that creates a portal to Pridius' home world's battlefield. Tyson walks through it. Once it closes, a larger portal opens in Edgewood where an army of ice soldiers come walking out.
"Days!? Oh no! You all need food!" She said. "Think Eris, think......aha!" She conjured a botanical greenhouse and grew a few fruit trees. Doing so drains her a bit more than normal, but she doesn't mind. "There we go."
Maya feels herself being lifted off the ground again. This time, it's by Xander and not one of the machines. As they escape and Machinos emerges, Maya's eyes widen. "My goodness.....I just had to go looking for trouble...." She stares at the massive machine looking directly at her. A chill runs...
Ten days have gone by. Tyson has finished his preparation. He holds the scroll Pridius gave to him in his hand. He takes a deep breath. "The time has come."
(I'm mad I'm just now seeing this and didn't get notified lmao)
"Ooooooooh this looks spooky. Wonder what's in here." Eris said before she went about picking the lock on the door so that she could go inside.
