Aldrich and his undead flew into the entrance of the Variant Nest. When Aldrich and Valera hopped off the eagle and landed in the dark, subterranean entrance tunnel, he waved the eagle away. "Wait outside. In a confined space like this, you won't do well. When I signal, come down here and pick us up," said Aldrich. The eagle bobbed its head in a nod and then flew away. Aldrich stared ahead into the depths of the nest. The path ahead led through a dark, winding tunnel that sank deeper down into the…-

Aldrich gathered all of the people coming with him on this mission to clear the Variant Nest. Valera, Dynamite Girl, Fler'Gan, and the Alloywing Eagle. He would have liked to take the Geist too, but he planned on driving down to the nest location and the Geist was simply too big to fit inside a car. After comforting the Geist that no, it did not have to lose weight, Aldrich set off at three in the morning. He drove with Valera in the front seat and Fler'Gan, Dynamite Girl, and the eagle in the back.…

As the squadron of sleek black hovercars with Blackwater's insignia painted on their doors got closer and closer, Aldrich motioned for his undead to leave. "We have to go," said Aldrich. He sprinted away into the depths of the forest, making sure to clear up any humanoid tracks. If the search party for Ghost saw human tracks, there would be immediate alarm and suspicion of foul play. However, Aldrich did not bother covering up the more monstrous tracks because he wanted the search party to see them…

Aldrich and his undead moved through the Necropolis floors with utter ease for the first five floors. These floors lay in the multi-story crypt located at the very bottom of the Death Lord's royal tower, and here, only low-level zombies came out to fight them. The difficulty of these lower levels was in the sheer number of zombies. They came out in small waves at first, but then their numbers increased until it seemed like there was an infinite amount of them. The point of these floors, Aldrich…

Now, Aldrich found himself in the midst of a throne room that somehow merged perfectly merged both royal grandeur and the decay of time.

Aldrich could not hear or see until his eardrums healed and his eyes adjusted from the intense blinding light, like a flash bang had been set off right in front of him. Seemed like though undead had night vision, blinding effects still worked on them provided they still had eyes. Nothing could tell him how the battle ended except a message from his status screen: 1570/1200] 11] Aldrich breathed a sigh of relief. He was 99% sure Fler'Gan was dead, but when he saw those…

Thankfully, Aldrich had left two undead slots empty so that he could react to sudden difficulties like this. Aldrich immediately casted and formed a second Ghast. He had the Ghast float over to the crabs and emit a . The moment the boundary went up, Fler'Gan's shot out, and a cone of continuous fire washed over the smoke barrier. "Hah! I knew you would do that!" Fler'Gan suddenly changed the course of his to Aldrich's other units, specifically the Troll Chieftain. The Troll Chieftain roared as…

Aldrich saw nothing but blinding light as the fireball exploded. He stared at the bright white light of the flaming explosion with relief. The fact that he could even see this light meant that his consciousness had not been totally incinerated away. The light dimmed down from white to orange as the temperature of the fire dropped, and Aldrich found himself unconsciously not breathing as the oxygen in the smoky confines of the burned up. Thankfully, he had no need to breathe, so he stood there…
