3rd POV

Hours have past since the dragons attack. Vox Machina made it to Whitestone, but only a little of survivors. Nightfall came as everyone including Cassandra are gathered in the palace for a meeting of what will be their next move.

Cassandra: Whitestone is secluded. We're safe for the time being. The rest of the world is a different matter.

YN: So, what's our next move?

Vex: We need to get the word out. Maybe someone out there can stop them.

Keyleth: What about us? We're Protectors of the Realm. I know it doesn't mean anything, but maybe it should.

Vax: And what exactly is the plan against four dragons?

Pike was silent while looking down at her cup until she breaks the silent.

Pike: We can think of something. We've already taken one down.

Scanlan: We got lucky with Brimscythe. And he was like, half the size of these fuckers. No, this is way beyond us.

Keyleth: Well, maybe the Ashari tribes could help us. I need to go for my Armamente anyway.

YN: Sounds like a good start. We should also find some help along the way.

Yennen: (Enters the room.) Where you should be going is Vasselheim.

YN: Vasselheim?

Yennen: The oldest, most defensible city in the world. If you're looking for armies, your best chance is there.

Pike: Vasselheim's run by religious orders. (Smiles.) I've always wanted to go.

Vex: (Scoffs.) You don't, trust me. Its...stuffy

Scanlan: Monks and nuns fighting dragons? Please tell me you're joking.

YN: Says the one who's a musician.

Percy: I'm a nobleman of Whitestone. Perhaps I could leverage diplomatic relations between our two cities.

Suddenly Scanlan walks to the center of the table for everyone's attention.

Scanlan: Diplomacy? No, we're not strong enough for this! Now we're going all the way to Vasselheim, for what? To recruit more people to get killed?

YN punches the table with his fist, showing everyone that he's had enough.

YN: If we don't do something, more people will already die! If it was one of my brothers, then he'd walk away while innocent people dies!

Everyone was shock to hear his words until YN sigh and sits down before he confess, revealing part of the witchers natures.

YN: Look, witchers are meant to be emotionless, none of us would care anything about the lives of the innocent people....as people didn't care about their own.....but I'm not like that, I chose to be different than the other witchers. Its all I have left, to remind myself of what I truly fight for. So if we don't fight together, we die together.

Everyone was silent until Keyleth breaks it.

Keyleth: Scanlan, we have to try. Right?

Scanlan: (Scoffs and leaves.) We don't have to do anything.

The meeting ended as they part their ways. Hour later, Scanlan and Grog are at the balcony. Scanlan is tuning his lute while Grog is flicking the rocks.

Scanlan: (Exhales.) They lost their damn minds.

Grog: Yeah, I hate when I loose something.

Scanlan: I mean, those dragons leveled the whole Cloud Top district. We couldn't even slow them down.

Grog: Right? (Scoffs.) Pisses me off.

Just then, the rest of the group arrive at the balcony.

Vax: We were wondering where you went. (Gives Grog a rock.) Then I got hit in the head with this.

Scanlan: (Scoffs.) Let someone else deal with the dragons, okay? Someone qualified. We're just a bunch of assholes lucky enough to get out alive.

Grog: Whoa...

Just then the sun rises and everyone except for Scanlan saw the view of the town.

Grog: Hey, lookit.

Vax: Heh, the northern ward, they already rebuilt it.

Grog: Town looked like shit till we saved it.

Vex: We didn't save a town. We saved them. They were hopeless once. All they needed was someone to stand up and fight for them. Then they stood up, too.

YN: (Chuckles.) Times like these feels like you're holding the weigh of the world. But it always reminds us of what we fight for.

Vax: (Smirk.) Not bad for a bunch of assholes who got lucky.

Vex: We're all frustrated and scared. But the fights not over. What do you say, Scanlan. Up for not going quietly into the night?

Two young kids were peeking from inside and saw Vox Machina.

Girl: Its them, they fought the dragon.

Scanlan spotted them and they made eye contacts.

Girl: Shh! Hide.

They hide as the groups turn to Scanlan, waiting for his answers as he smirks.

Scanlan: Yeah, all right, let's do it. After all, I can't do my world tour without the rest of the band.

They all look at the town from a distance before they left.

Time skip to sunny day.

Everyone is gathered at the sun tree as well as Gilmore, Cassandra, and Yennen.

Yennen: Legends speak of forces hidden in Vasselheim. Make your appeal for help at the Platinum Sanctuary, but failing that, seek out help wherever you can.

Keyleth: I've never been to Vasselheim. My teleport spell only works if I'm familiar with the tree on the other side.

Yennen: I know the tree. You merely need to visualize it.

Keyleth: Oh, okay, um, maybe that'll work?

Keyleth approaches the Sun Tree before she uses her teleport spell as YN whispers to the others.

YN: (Whispers.) I believe in Keyleth, but why do I get the feeling this won't go well?

Vex: (Scoffs and whispers.) You always get bad feelings about portals.

Keyleth: What's the tree look like?

Yennen: Big, but not too big. Pink buds...or are they yellow? Her branches swaying in the breeze. A fabulous oak tree. Mayybe walnut?

Pike: Uh...is that enough, Keyleth?

Keyleth opens the portal from the Sun Tree and everyone are ready to go, except of course, YN.

(YN next to Grog.)

Percy: Onward. To Vasselheim.

Scanlan: Me be first!

Pike: Last one in us a troll dick!

Vex: Here goes nothing.

Grog: Ooh-hoo-hoo, yeah!

YN: Yeah, good luck you guys- hey!

Vax: (Drags YN.) Just shut up and go.

YN: No, no, no, no! I hate teleportation- 

It was too late as they enter the portal. Percy was the last but he looks back one last time to his sister and she nod and smiles before he enters.

Cassandra: Let's hope they made it...for all our sakes.

Scanlan POV

I step out of the other side of the portal made it to where we are.

Scanlan: (Chuckles.) It worked. (Laugh.) I can't believe it actually- Whoa!

I slip and fell but I grab the branch of the tree at the last second. Soon I realize the tree is right at the side of the cliff.

Scanlan: Oh, shit!

Then I notice the rest of my friends and almost out.

Scanlan: Guys, stop! No, no, no! Don't step through!

It was too late as we all fall and scream while YN fold his arms with disappointed look.

YN: Hmph, I knew this wasn't gonna go well....

Keyleth: Pike, grab my claw!

Pike: Wait, what!?

Keyleth transform into a giant bird before Pike landed on her back.

Vex: Gods! I hope she catches us!

Keyleth catches the twins while the rest of us are falling. I quickly sing to cast a spell while we're still falling.

Scanlan: 🎶 The landing's gonna be a bit rough! 🎶
🎶 I'll save our asses with some but stuff! 🎶

A giant magical purple butt appear just in time for me and Percy to land safely.

Percy: Before I met you, I would have found this very upsetting.

Suddenly we hear the scream until Grog landed between the butt as the others landed safely thanks to Keyleth. Grog grunts, struggling to move from my magic butt.

Grog: Come on. (Grunts.) Good thing these titties were here.

I couldn't help but chuckle while everyone look at him awkwardly.

Grog: What?

Percy: Wait, where's YN.

???: I'm right here.

We turn and see YN who's didn't get hurt from the fall.

Pike: Hold on, Keyleth didn't catch you nor saved by Scanlan. How did you survive?

YN: I rolled... This isn't my first time I had accidents like this. (Scoffs.) This is why I hate going through portals.

Keyleth: Okay, that was not my fault. I told Keeper Yennen I have to know the tree.

YN: Her instructions were vague. Least this is the fastest way to...wherever we are. (Chuckles.) Man, you guys should've seen where my brother Geralt ended up.

Vax: Let me guess, another world.

YN: Yeah, said something about hunters hunting big monsters. Hell even mentioned a leshen was there and he had to deal with. Surprisingly he made his way back.

Percy: I supposed you should try how he did.

YN: You kidding me? I'd rather help you guys with the dragons than abandoning you all while those dragons are destroying everything.

Keyleth: Aw, thanks.

Pike: Whoa...

Pike leave to see the view from the cliff.

Pike: You guys?

Pike: We made it.

Grog: Is that Vessem...Uh...Vagil...?

Pike: Vasselheim. Our only chance.

YN: Place looks beautiful from here. I just hope our answers lies there.
