Endmin! Got a moment?
fiona
The Research Center needs help! The scientists noticed they're missing a specimen jar of Blight-related materials.
fiona
They were using it for their environmental remediation project... Given the damages at the crime scene, they believe the jar was forcibly taken by Bonekrusher stragglers.
fiona
fiona
We don't know how and where the sample would be used. The jar has special sealing mechanisms so it won't harm anyone for now. But ... we must contain the risks ASAP.

Rossi
Bonekrusher weapon... Looks like we've taken the right direction.
Rossi
Did they fight a vicious battle? With another group that wants the sample too?
Rossi
...Endmin! Let's go this way!
2 Go to the target location and investigate View on map
Story update
A missing Blight material sample is suspected to have been seized by the Landbreakers. Endfield has identified a possible location of the sample's whereabouts. It must be retrieved before it could deal any harm.
Dialogue
Fiona the Comms Officer
Endmin, found anything?
Fiona the Comms Officer
Hmm, perhaps the sample has been moved somewhere else.
Fiona the Comms Officer
Endmin, let's do a thorough search of the surroundings. If the transfer was recent, we might find some residual traces.
Radio
Rossi
Mask of the Bonekrushers?
Rossi
It has the same energy residue... Where are they bringing the sample?
Rossi
They probably haven't gone far. Let us press forward!

Rossi
*Sniff, sniff* No. This is not the smell.
Rossi
Hmm? What's this special scent... Smells familiar.
Rossi
Eh?! En-En-Endmin?! Why are you here?
Rossi
I hope I did not offend your honor, Endmin!
Rossi
Mm? Are you also here for the Blight extract sample, Endmin?
Rossi
I rushed here immediately after Fiona contacted me. But I didn't find the sample anywhere.
Rossi
There is a funny smell here... Trust me, Endmin. In the pack, I am the one with the sharpest nose and the sharpest fangs!
Rossi
Hmm... The air is full of odors... A lot of people must have walked by.
Rossi
Something's suspicious over there... Those lights. They do not look natural.
Rossi
Oh yeah! The extract sample must have passed through this place...
Rossi
Ah! Endmin, you have that special device, no? The one that scans, makes the *smack* sound, and highlights the thing?
Rossi
Mamma mia! I get to team up with the Endmin. Am I dreaming right now?
Rossi
H-help?! Does that mean I get to help the Endmin? Is this real?!
Rossi
I'm not really good at using that... Maybe we should team up?
Rossi
Ouch! Looks like this is real... Then I must work super hard ... and impress the Endmin with my performance!
Rossi
Endmin! Heehee, let's keep searching. Maybe we'll find similar traces along the way!

Story update
You find no traces of the missing sample in the Landbreaker camp. Fiona suspects that the raiders may have moved the sample elsewhere and recommends searching the nearby areas.

Who are you? How dare you trespass on the Castle of the Knights!
"
"Sunny Little Knight"
Red cape ... claws, weapons... EEEK! Y-You are that Red Monster! And ... you must be her wicked companion!
"
"Serious Little Knight"
Wait, you're also a kid! Now talk — from whence did you come?!
Rossi
*Uffa*... This is absurd. We tracked all the way here, only to find some kids!
"
"Sunny Little Knight"
You're just around our age, but you're so mean. You surely are the Red Monster!
Rossi
I am not the Red Monster! I am the temporary leader of the Pack!
"
"Serious Little Knight"
Nah! Never heard of it! You're just baddies! Now shoo!
Rossi
What a mess... Endmin, let's just go. We don't have time to play with them.
Rossi
But they are just kids. And they see us as baddies. I don't think they're gonna tell us anything.
Rossi
Play by their rules?
Rossi
Wha? Endmin?! Why are you being so nice to these little...
"
"Sunny Little Knight"
Hmph. Indeed. We knights are forgiving and generous! We shall overlook your unruliness.
Rossi
Apologies... We are just trying to look for something.
"
"Serious Little Knight"
Pardon granted! But who may you be, if you are not the Red Monster and its wicked companion?
Rossi
No! We come from Endfield! And this is the Endmin, head of the Endfielders.
"
"Sunny Little Knight"
Endmin? Oh, I heard of you! Alia told us that the Endmin saved everyone in the camp.
"
"Serious Little Knight"
So I guess you're not baddies. What are you looking for?
Rossi
Err… it's a ... jar with some ... sample thing...
"
"Serious Little Knight"
What is that?
"
"Sunny Little Knight"
Never seen it.
"
"Serious Little Knight"
Red glowing thing... OH! You mean the Red Diamond?
"
"Sunny Little Knight"
We've offered it already. His Majesty the King has it now.
Rossi
His Majesty the King? Where is he?
"
"Serious Little Knight"
The King is in his kingdom.
"
"Sunny Little Knight"
Take this path and you'll be able to meet our King.
Rossi
That thing is dangerous and you treat it like a toy...? Do you even know what it is?
"
"Serious Little Knight"
The Diamond is dangerous...?
Rossi
Forget it... You do not know what you're doing...
Rossi
Endmin, we gotta be quick and take the sample back! It might be more dangerous in the kids' hands than in the hands of Landbreakers...
Rossi
Alright, Endmin. Let's go and meet "His Majesty the King".
Rossi
"Red Monster"? Come on, don't be ridiculous, kids!

"Serious Little Knight"
Endmin, right? You're one of the good guys!
"
"Serious Little Knight"
We are knights serving the Kingdom of Brickyland! We are on a quest to find treasure in the outer realms.
Rossi
Treasure? But these are just a pile...
"
"Serious Little Knight"
Hmph. Do not be envious of our riches. We have a great mountain of treasure in the vault of our King!
"
"Serious Little Knight"
We have the Holy Sword of Legend, the Strong Shield of the Defender, and ... And the Royal Scepter of Power!
Rossi
Are you sure? But all I see is just ... junk. Junk that people threw away.
"
"Serious Little Knight"
This is not junk! HMPH!!
"
"Serious Little Knight"
From our mighty quests of treasure hunting!
"
"Serious Little Knight"
The knight's quest is to gather riches. Whenever the baddies go out to do bad things, we loot their camp of their treasure!
Rossi
WHAT?! You actually took these from the Bonekrusher camp?
"
"Serious Little Knight"
They are evil villains! The knights of justice have no choice but to punish them!
Rossi
Do you know how dangerous your game is...? If you make a mistake...
"
"Serious Little Knight"
Have no fear. We are knights, veterans of one hundred battles.
"
"Serious Little Knight"
Yeah. But they are really heavy... And the grown-ups told us that weapons are dangerous.
"
"Serious Little Knight"
The mask also smells pretty bad... So we threw it away.
Rossi
I totally agree! The Bonekrushers smell like puke!
"
"Serious Little Knight"
And so we returned with an old tire and the Red Diamond. It was a great hunt.
Radio
Rossi
I got a bad feeling about this... There might be dangerous enemies ahead. Endmin, be prepared!

Don't you know who it is? Everyone here is talking about the Red Monster!
"
"Sunny Little Knight"
Someone saw a monster that's totally red. It has a terrifying face and super sharp teeth.
"
"Sunny Little Knight"
It could swallow several people in a mouthful! And, and they say ... children are its favorite food...
Rossi
Meh. Just a made-up story.
"
"Sunny Little Knight"
But it's really scary... Nobody dares to head out anymore. This is the only place we could play safely.
"
"Sunny Little Knight"
It's the Great Kingdom of Brickyland! A land of our King, our Dukes, and our Knights!
"
"Sunny Little Knight"
And we got a super HUUUGE palace! And a treasure vault! But I'm not telling you how to get in!
Rossi
Pffft. Just a make-believe game for the children. You can't really build a proper "Kingdom".
"
"Sunny Little Knight"
Hmph. The sight of our actual Kingdom will shock you!
"
"Sunny Little Knight"
We found it in the baddies' territory. It's so pretty too.
"
"Sunny Little Knight"
I really wanted to keep that Red Diamond for myself. But still, we offered it to our King as tribute.
Rossi
If you like it so much, why do you give it up to the King?
"
"Sunny Little Knight"
Because we have a good King right now. And I'll get to be Queen next week. When I become Queen, I'll get to play with the Red Diamond too.
"
"Sunny Little Knight"
I really want to be Queen.

Rossi
Those kids probably never thought about the trouble they could cause. All they cared about was playing games.
Rossi
I'll never be like them.

I want you to bring me TWO Treasures of the Kingdom!

Well said! And once you bring the Treasures, I shall give you the Red Diamond.

Rossi
We can just take the sample from him. Why are we even playing their game?
Rossi
Being a child is no excuse for being spoiled and selfish...
Rossi
......
Rossi
Okay then. If the Endmin had spoken, then there's definitely a very good reason for it.
Rossi
I ... I just think you have your reasons, Endmin. I'd never play such a stupid game with these children otherwise.
Rossi
Let's go find their Duke and Duchess. We'll see what other tricks they've got.
Rossi
I see tire marks here as well.
Rossi
Strange... Why is there only a single tread mark?
Rossi
*Sniff*... The smell ... it went that way.
