"Where the fuck is Markplatz?!" Boss Awesome yelled, as he stormed out into courtyard of New Tibault Castle. "He was specifically assigned to guard duty!" A group of Fallen Brigade soldiers stared at him, wide eyed, but no one offered any suggestions. "If Markplatz isn't on guard duty then who is covering his shift?" He continued, snarling at the group with an accusatory stare. "Surely, someone must be..." Boss Awesome froze, and shot a terrified glance at the entrance to the Dungeon. "If Markplatz isn't...and no one's covering..." He took a slow step toward the Dungeon followed by another, and another at an increasingly quickening pace. "No one's guarding Blackzilla!!!!" With expert discipline, the group of soldier fell in behind Boss Awesome and they all broke into a run.
A wrought iron cage hung by massive chains over a pit far below the surface. The bars were torn and bent, and the cage swung lazily back and forth over the black depths. Even Mortemer, the Fallen Brigade's ever vigiliant and blood thirsty watch Corgi, wimpered at the sight of the cage. Boss Awesome's knuckles went white as he clenched his fingers together.
"We'll need to search every inch of the dungeon. If we don't find him there then we move on to the sewers." Boss Awesome said, with grave honesty. "Organize search parties and stay together. Mortemer's with me. If you find Blackzilla, call for back up. Don't try to take him down on your own." The soldiers quickly divided themselves into groups and took off down separate passageways. Only Boss Awesome and Mortemer remained. "C'mon Mortemer." He said, patting the small Corgi on the head as they walked off into a nearby tunnel. "Let's see what we can find."
Boss Awesome stopped dead in his tracks. Mortemer growled and soon began barking with uncontrollable rage. The smell of fart and semen assaulted the area so strongly that the air almost seemed to solidify. "Blackzilla..." Boss Awesome muttered, unslinging his bow. He ran the numbers in his head. The odds were not good. He had told his men to not engage and to call for help, and yet here he was thinking he could slay the beast with a single arrow. Boss Awesome let the fear in, it was his only chance. He scooped up Mortemer and took off running at full speed.
