#225: Untold Interactive Tales of the Lair Legion: Dangerous Paths

The weather changed again as the LearJet flew north. A blistering African sun burned away the cloud cover, and there was none of the curious red discolouration caused by the massive earth upheavals elsewhere along the rim. “Okay, now I got these sensor readings tellin’ me we’re in Memphis,” Trickshot complained. “Accordin’ to this Gracelands is about five clicks that way.” “That doesn’t seem likely,” the Manga Shoggoth pointed out. “Although I am tasting a few dimensional anomalies.” “Wouldn’t it be cool if Elvis was behind all this?” CrazySugarFreakBoy! enthused. “Maybe the aliens sent him back?” Trickshot kicked the sensor array. “We gotta get Al B.

Is to be a flash of rainbowing!” “If we got a choice between fightin’ Elvis an’ My Little Pony I say we go up against the King,” Trickshot voted.
