“No-!”
The apothecary shrieked; her eyes bulging with rage as the vast portal gate shuddered and cracked - a series of violent pulsations pounding through the magical gateway, causing it to splutter and fail.
“You can’t do this to us!!”
The forsaken bellowed again; being thrown from her feet, as the ground below her finally ruptured, sending jets of white hot steam erupting into the air. In the distance, further explosions sounded, all across the mountains, as the Order’s great works crumbled and portal after portal faltered and burst; leaving their invasion forces stranded on the other side.
“Who do you think YOU ARE?!”
A flash of white; as the woman’s furious accusation was met with a cheeky, dagger-toothed grin.
“We’re the Dust Devils”
Mira quipped back; ably scrambling up Kylosa’s back - the young druid having transformed himself into a spry, winged dinosaur, already prepared for take off.
“And it looks like we just did it again”
She laughed; before offering the downed apothecary a little wave - just to ram the point home.
“See you next time - now let’s hit the skies, dino boy!”
Kicking her heels against Kylosa’s sides, she braced herself as the dinosaur leapt from the mountainside; before outstretching his wings, and hurtling triumphantly back into the skies.
With a final, magnificent boom; the portal machine totally detonated, consuming the screeching apothecary in a wave of brilliant blue flame.
There you have it, dearest readers; TWICE this week we’ve faced down the diabolical Banshee Loyalist(ish?!) New Order, and TWICE this week we’ve defeated them! Add to that their previous foiled attempts to conquer the world (with the memory-wiping Year Zero machine, and its sister project, the flesh-rotting Necrophage!), and you’d think they’d learn to call it a day?!
Alas; the villains of Azeroth are far too proud to pack it in any time soon! They’ll skunk off to lick their wounds (and receive a hell of a telling off from the recently self-promoted Lord Executor!), and no doubt be back again in the future, with a whole new terrible scheme!
But although they’ve popped up frequently of late, the New Order aren’t the only villains the Dust Devils have vanquished since we escaped from the clutches of the Dreamgrifters, oh no!
Our whistle-stop tour at a hidden island controlled by the pompous Velvet Glove revealed they weren’t just holding a fancy garden ball - but were in fact attempting to summon a hideous beast from below the earth, known to them only as “Father”!
Fortunately, the Dust Devils were on hand to crash the party; literally, as we had no choice but to collapse a building upon the terrible creature, trapping it once more below the earth!
No time to celebrate though; for as one villain’s plot crumbles, so another bursts into the spotlight - who’ll be the next to take a shot at total world domination?! And will the Dust Devils once again be able to stop them?!
You’ll just have to tune in to the forums to find out - or even better, join us in game, to experience the action up close and personal!
Peace out, gamers!
Smoke wafted into the air; the ashes at the end of the man’s cigar burned brightly, as he took another deep inhale, staring down the contents of his morning newspaper.
“Dust Devils huh?”
He grinned, shifting his gaze upwards; staring with smug satisfaction at the row upon row of barred prison cells, circling endlessly in the tower above him - a cacophony of howls and roars erupting from the bestial criminals confined within.
“Well. Wait till they get a load of us…”
