"Do it!" I cried happily. "More spells!"
"Don't you even want to know what it does first?" Fawriel asked.
"The Arabian War Acupunturist is unlike any summon, in that his attacks heal rather than inflict damage," Sam explained. "Alright! It's time to sing-along with Sam! Repeat after me!"
L33tz4n straightened herself up and prepared to endure the upcoming educational song.
Sam cleared his throat and began to sing, "When the last thing you need is a neeeeedle, he'll be there! he'll be there! he'll be there for you!"
L33tz4n glanced around and noticed that everyone was staring at her. She blushed purple again, then softly sang along. "When the last thing I need is a neeeeeedle, he'll be there, he'll be there, he'll be there for me."
"When you need a helping stab just to heeeeeal, he'll be there! he'll be there! he'll be there for you!"
"When I need a helping stab just to heeeeeal, he'll be there, he'll be there, he'll be there for me."
"When you're just about to die, he'll help you out, so don't cry! He'll be there! he'll be there! just for yoooou!"
"He'll be there, he'll be there, just for meeeee."
Fooruman and I applauded. "That young man has such a beautiful voice!" the Archmage declared. "And Scholar Sam can sing well, too."
"Thank you, teacher," L33tz4n said as she shook Sam's hand.
"Anytime!" he replied. "As as scholar, it is my job to pass knowledge down to the next generation!"
"Wait, that's it?" Shuriken interrupted. "You sang a stupid song and she learned a powerful summon, just like that?"
"Pretty much, yeah," Sam answered.
Shuriken pondered this for a moment. "Well, could I learn it, too?"
"No," said Sam. Grandma Conquista lightly tapped him on the shoulder, driving him into the ground like a hammer to a nail. "I suppose it's time for us to be on our way," he announced as he pulled himself out. "The ice should start melting soon. Have fun killing things!"
Sam, Conquista and Furious all piled into the flying hotrod and took off. I couldn't be sure, but it seemed like I could faintly hear the words, "FEEEAR CONQUIIISTAAA!!!" on the wind as they flew away.
"Oh, hey!" I called out to them. "Furious! Go to Superuberplacething and save the Canadian from the vampire thing!" I doubt he heard me, but being a superhero I'm sure he would eventually get around to saving people and stuff.
I glanced around and noticed that Upper Placespot was more or less pwned. The buildings were trashed and abandoned. It would most likely be a long time before the residents returned to rebuild everything.
"So like, let's go do stuff," I said as I pocketed Solstice's angel hat.
"And what stuff we shall do!" Fooruman exclaimed, rising up in his canoe to attract everyone's attention. "I hearby declare that we must embark on a MYSTICAL JOURNEY to seek out my missing pogo stick!"
Araches spit. "I already hate where this is going," she said angrily.
