Eg Ella woke up, bleary-eyed. As her vision slowly cleared and she glanced around, she saw that she was in a small room with walls the color of vanilla, a faint hazelnut smell was diffusing around the room, and Eg Duck Sheriff was standing 10 feet away at the door.

"As a reward for revealing the culprit, you have gotten an upgrade, or, in medical terms, eggrade. Why don't you get up and look at yourself in the mirror?"

Eg Ella, confused about the situation, looked around once more and noticed that a mirror had appeared on the wall beside her.

She used her eg legs to get up and faced the new reality staring right back at her. Her toilet plunger was glistening like never before, but a voice inside was telling her to pull it out.

Eg Ella removed her plunger with the force (as Egs don't have arms) and noticed three 7-inch blades sticking out of her skull.

"Now, now, you'll be ok. Not many survive falling into the abyss, but you most definitely will. Just hold on."

Eg Duck Will snapped his eyes open, and saw the face of a large Eg Rat staring back at him. He then leaped back in shock. He was in a dark, cave-like place, with hardly any light.

"Eg Rat Matt? What are you doing here? You were thrown off the shadow realm; I saw it myself! You committed a heinous crime!"

Eg Rat Matt darkly looked at Eg Duck Will.

"Foot Eg told the council I committed a grave crime, sure. But did he tell you what it was?"

Eg Duck Will narrowed his eyes. "I believe and obey Foot Eg. I don't need to know what the crime was, all I know is that you had to be punished. How could you? I trusted you! You were my friend!"

A sadness lurked behind Eg Rat Matt's angry exterior.

"I never betrayed you. I was doing an undercover investigation." His hands became fists. "But I was found out before I could release it to the public."(edited)

Curiosity took over Eg Duck Will's mind. "Why would you be doing an undercover investigation? What is so important that needs you to play detective?"

Eg Rat Matt stared intensely at Eg Duck Will.

"Foot Eg is lying."

Eg Eva was sitting on her couch, watching a cute show about ponies, eating Doritos, and resting her knees after a long day of jumping. She felt the couch cushion buzz as her Tegta, stuck underneath, alerted her of a new update concerning the council and Foot Eg.

Eg Eva groaned.  Eg Revolution business always seemed to come whenever she was most relaxed. She looked around, made sure she was alone, and grabbed her Tegta from under the cushion.

As she read what the spies had acquired, she knew it was time. Time for the hero wrote about in the Holy Eg to join the battle.

It was time to tell Eg Ella everything and train her in the art of Egspinjitsu.
