Panel 1:
We're on Ruby's Fall, where a group of Ashen Skeletons are protesting. One of them stands atop a rock, addressing the others. A protestor carries a sign reading 'Equal P.V.E. Equal Rights'.
Protest Leader: For years, you've worked your backsides off for Flameheart...
Protest Leader: And how does he repay your loyalty?
Panel 2:
The protest leader continues to address the crowd. In the background, we can see the piratical floating skull of Captain Flameheart (with a small group of glowing green ghost ships) approaching the island.
Protest Leader: By bringing in his own ships! Spectral galleons, stealing your jobs!
Protest Leader: Giving them special ammo and haunting rights!
Panel 3:
The protest leader addresses a skeleton (it's Carl!) who stands next to a cannon, holding a skull (Skullhead Fred) aloft. In the background, the protestor's sign now reads 'No flotation without compensation'.
Protest Leader: We'll show him! We'll make our own screaming cannonballs!
Protest Leader: CARL! LOAD UP FRED!
Panel 4:
Wide shot of the island, with Flameheart and his fleet just offshore. Skullhead Fred has been launched from the cannon, directly at Flameheart's floating skull.
SFX (TINY): ptoo
Skullhead Fred: I IMMEDIATELY REGRET THIS
"You must be running low on supplies by now!" Nope, still got a few limbs left to launch.
