Weakness? Wait... Was that a band made from Ultra-Magnesium? Oh no... It was, wasn't it?
 
I sure hope they didn't let it set in the moonlight for nine days while it soaked it the tears of wise men. Dragon told me that would strip him of his powers permanently. I was the only one he trusted that information to, come to think of it.
 
Wait... what was the question again?
 
*{{green|*sigh* I asked you how you think Malta found out about the Band?}}
 
I have no idea. That information is a closely guarded secret, and no one is ever supposed to be told about it.
 
uh...
 
Kinda like what I just did. Oh, man... I'm so stupid. My grandma would smack me silly if she found out. Heck, if she found out that I was a superhero, she would have a heartattack!

The Dragon's Whelp

Alignment Mission

While browsing the web, you come across a profile on one of those 'Friend' sites with the following comment:

Totally jazzed at being picked by Sky Dragon to be his new apprentice! Look out criminals, Flamespout's comin' for ya! lol

The idiot not only posted his name, but what school he goes to, and even the names of his family members. If this Flamespout is Sky Dragon's new sidekick, he's going to be a liability to any and everyone involved with him. If Sky Dragon won't teach this kid some discipline, then you're going to need to be the one who will.

Villain: Pay the doctor a housecall

You getting sick and tired of all these new sidekicks showing up and then texting, friending, and tooting - or whatever it is they call it - to every Tom, Dick, and Harry that they're 'fighting crime'. The punks don't realize that any villain can just as easily get that information and do horrible things with it.

In other words, hyper slack-offs are considered cannon fodder to the kind of guy that'll kill you if you look at them wrong. Maybe you can't change this new generation of 'heroes', but you sure can scare the holy terror out of this one and set him straight.

  • Set up the sidekick and scare the daylights out of him.

With a couple of calls, mysterious nighttime meetings, and a host of other preparations you manage to set up the perfect lesson for this little snot.

Let class begin.

Unnecessary Solicitation

You haven't yet dealt with Flamespout's irresponsible foolishness. With a couple of calls, mysterious nighttime meetings, and a host of other preparations you manage to set up the perfect lesson for this little snot.

Let class begin.

Mission Objective(s)

From the sound of it, Malta took the bait. Let's hope they've already managed to overcome Sky Dragon by using those Ultra-Magnesium bands you anonymously sent them. Now... To find Flamespout.

  • Teach Flamespout a few lessons about villains
    • Find Flamespout
    • Talk to Flamespout
    • Lead Flamespout to the Holographic Projector and use it
    • Talk to Flamespout
    • Kill Flamespout

The lesson didn't turn out exactly as you had planned. And sadly, it was Flamespout's final lesson...

Enemies

Malta Operatives

Notable NPCs

  • Flamespout (Longbow Warden)

Debriefing

Everything in your lesson to that kid went off without a hitch. You just weren't expecting his grandmother to be so... well, frail.

In the end, the kid didn't pay attention to the most important lesson:

Watch what you say. It just might get you killed.
