Jack and J'Hil went up the bridge...

Jack and J'Hil went up the bridge
To help Void with Doc V
Jack got mad and kicked J'Hil off
"Nerf Void!" Jack cried. "He's fighting more than three!"

 

Yes, I took the new Electric/Electric Sentinel out for a "solo" of Positron II because I thought that, even at level 34 and with only SOs, it was an excellent combo. Even with that truncation down to level 16, it could probably still give it a good run. Especially if set to minimum difficulty, and having a few summons in tow. 

 

So, as one might expect, everything was a solo breeze until the AV fight with Dr. V. What should have been a straightforward pummeling of the AV, with the help of a few of my friends (Echo of Statesman and a Shivan), turned into a topsy-turvy Bizarro encounter. Because, obviously, summoning the Echo of Statesman actually summons Jack Emmert from his crypt to assume the role of Echo of Statesman. At least, that's what it looked like to me. 

 

Upon the bridge, with a lone Dr. V just standing there picking at his own leprous scabs, I summoned Echo of Statesman first, right on top of him. Bam! Echo of Statesman immediately pounded Dr. V. I next summoned the Shivan, right next to Dr. V, and it immediately engaged. All good so far, right?

 

Settling down, I initiated my combat sequence, launched a bolt at Dr. V, then all Hell broke loose. 

 

Dr. V immediately waddled at me, ignoring all alleged aggro control from Echo of Statesman, who is classified as a "Tank", most amusingly. As Dr. V engaged, Echo of Statesman and the Shivan appeared to exchange goofy, confused glances with one another, then they slowly began to limp over. Behind them, Humpy, Lumpty, Dumpty, and Bill sloshed over the bridge, rapidly overtaking them. They all hit Dr. V and me at the same time. 

 

And that's when Echo of Statesman kicked the Shivan off the bridge. 

 

"WTAF???" I foamed, seeing the impossible happen before my own eyes. "That's not supposed to happen! Jack Emmert's taken control of his ancient avatar!" I realized. "He's going for The Final Nerf because he hates me for soloing the Shadow Shard bosses and beating a full team of 8 in PvP by myself back in Live! His Nerf Hammer knows no limits!"

 

Then, with a seeming flicker in his eyes, Echo of Statesman lifted off the bridge, and flew off somewhere into the sky, leaving me alone to face the exploding mobs and the AV. Somewhere off in the distance, Echo of Statesman's voiceover brayed, "This is what you get, Void! ED and my awesome Nerf Hammer didn't stop you! But this will! NYAA-HAA-HAA-HAA!!!"  

 

Well, of course, long story short, not much stops me, even on a non-min/max toon, and even when Jack Emmert personally steps in to sabotage me. I slipped into Void Mode, chuckling to myself, and put Dr. V and His Body Shamed Band out of business. And because I care, I gave them all a parting gift of Ozempic and some Adkins fudge bars for their good health going forward. I had to admit, the El/El Sentinel is one tough cookie, even at that level, and with only SOs.   

 

Then, as I was about to shut it down, both Echo of Statesman and the Shivan popped up on the bridge near me, grinning vacantly. SMDH, and realizing that Jack had relinquished control of his ancient avatar in order to resume his role as Nerfmaster General on the new Pen Island game, I typed the obligatory "gg team" in chat and took a screenie.
