The Imperial Three

Heeey! Stop messing around with our stuff!

That was bold. Bigger Bro, this lass ain't someone to be messed with.

It's alright. Me didn't know either...

Cool...

Hmph. Take a closer look!

Nice weather today, isn't it? We got both the sun and the moon.

No one in the Empire touches the Imperial Three's stuff! You gotta pay us like seven... eight... nine... What's after nine?

Thanks. That's nice of you.

Wait! Who asked you!?

Bigger Bro, nine is followed by more nines. We call it ninety-nine!

Bloody bugger! This one's playing tricks on the Imperial Three! We're gonna teach you a real lesson, and it won't be over unless you pay us ninety-nine zillion silver coins!

Shhh... Don't move. Just play dead.

I'm dead. I'm really dead. I'm totally dead...

You... You killed my Big Bro and Bigger Bro... You owe me blood money!!

Hahahaha! We're alive again! Stupid potato head! No one messes with the Imperial Three!

Yeah, stupid potato... Potato...? It makes my stomach growl.

We'll buy some potatoes once we sell this chest. Let's get moving.

You may leave, but the chest stays.

You killed me bros and you kicked me! Argh! My arm! You broke my arm! You gotta pay me! Double!

Hey, what are you doing? Drop your hands, now.

I saw everything. Vita found the chest first. What you did was robbery, and now it's become extortion, which is even worse.

It's not yours! The chest got our name on it!

Stuff of the Imperial 3. Your writing is... wild.

Wizard, ain't it? Been practising with this marker pen.

Marker pen? Sounds really cool. Can I have a look?

Hmph. What a hick. Here, take a look.

Alright. Following your logic, all of you are now working for Mr Outsider. That's me.

Huh? Wha?

Wait... Bigger Bro's got something on his back... "Outsider's Sidekick". Whoa...

If Bigger Bro is Outsider's Sidekick, and Bigger Bro is our boss... Does that make us Outsider's...

Yay! I'm Outsider's Sidekick! What's a sidekick?

It means... uhm...

Huh! I see... Nah, still don't get it.

It means you all listen to me and follow my lead. I'm a generous man. If Vita and I make some quid, we'll make sure all of you get a share.

That sounds awesome! We'll call you Super Bros and you can call us Bigger Bro, Big Bro, and Small Bro. We're all part of the same bro-team. Alright, bros, all together...

Howdy, Super Bros!

Yeah, okay. Now tell me why you were robbing people here.

We came here from Scarletriver to make a living. But we kept running into Filthoids and snow wolves. And there's this huge scrap between The Forsakens and the Legion. But we gotta eat, you know...

You're pretty far away from home. How did you get here?

It's not that far. We walked here!

That's... impressive.

How much walking are we talking about?

At least six months, I guess. Only those lacking common sense would attempt a thing like this.

Ahem, alright. I am a fair Super Bro. Give back the chest to Vita and run some errands for me, and I'll show mercy and forgive you.

Well, I'm trying to make them show some respect. Besides, we're not taking advantage of them. They're going to thank us for this.

Huh? We got nothing left! It's true! Our pockets are emptier than a ghost town!

Fine. Maybe next time.

Thank you, Super Bros!

Told you.

Alright, looks like we've got everything settled. Come to my place tonight. Dinner's on me.

Free food? Hooray!

Let's go.

Howdy, Super Bros!
