At some point, Dorukumets had perched Velobo on his shoulder, much to Tykidu's silent ire. "So tell me Calidad, what brings you to these ruins? I initially thought you another monster, but obviously you are more than that."
Velobo mused for a moment, wondering what should be the proper course of action. He could just flatly tell them exactly what was going on, like he had been doing to virtually everyone, but thinking about it, that caused some trouble in the last round. On the other hand, it turned out okay in the end, and he couldn't really think of anything that would be convincing enough (not to say that the truth was very convincing in the first place), so he just told Dorukumets and co all about his origins, then the events in Vio's Unity Plant, and the events on the Great Battlefield.
After Velobo had finished, Dorukumets was uncharacteristically silent and still. He gave a contemplative 'hmmmm', before going "Yes... Yes I was right about you Calidad! In fact, now that you've shared your story, and that we seem to have a shortage of enemies about, I, SIR DORUKUMETS, shall share some of mine."
"You see, I am from the ancient past! I was(and of course still am) a fearsome warrior, travelling and looking for more powerful opponents. Challenge after challenge, learning more and more techniques, I was a legend, thought unbeatable in combat. There were some who did not like this, so, while tricking me into thinking that I could find new challengers, they froze me in time."
"In one way, they did fulfill their promise, for when I awoke I was thrust into a battle with a group of heroes. As I had just gotten out of that magical stupor, of course I lost. It was not a loss without some positive value, as in the aftermath, I found Gimeri!"
Dorukumets would prattle on and on about his battle at the coliseum where his armory once stood, and how he was defeated there as well, and then how he had found Tykidu on Monster Island while trying to find out where his Gauntlet of Genko had gone over all of the years. Velobo was engrossed in the man's story, oblivious to the slight exaggerations and skewered view of events. He was convinced that Dorukumets and his allies were the heroes who would save this world, and that the Gauntlet would be pivotal in their victory...
The four continued onward, some much more pleased than others, when they started to hear a growl, or maybe it was a snarl. Dorukumets clenched his fists in excitement of another monster to fight, and stopped while he waited for this creature to show.</font>
