“What do you call this again Zyley?”  asked Panzer.

“It’s called a Mojito.”  replied the Holy Paladin.

They both finished off their Mojitos watching the sunset behind the volcano in Un’Goro Crater.  They had been enjoying these sunsets in front of the pool at the Goblin Resort for 6 months.

“Retiring was the best decision I’ve made in a long time.”  chatted Panzer.

“We’re on Vacation buddy.  It’s an extended one, but it’s only a vacation.”  corrected Zyley.

“Whatever! I’m retired.  We freaking killed Deathwing and saved the world, again.”  complained the Zergadin General.  “In the last few years I’ve been blasted into Space.  I’ve been Frozen alive fighting a Lich King.  Then there was being cooked alive in the Firelands.  Oh yeah, and I’ve slayed more Old Gods and their Lackeys than I’d care to remember.  I’m done.”

“We’ll have another round.”  Zyley told the Goblin bartender.  “Send the Chef out too, we’re ready to order.”

…

The sun had long set behind the crater walls.  The resort attendants had begun the nightly entertainment.  Kal’dori dancers would continue dancing into the wee hours of the morning.  For the two Zergadins, this never gets old.

In front of an especially good looking dancer that Zyley was enjoying, the air started to shimmer.  A bright flash appeared, stopping the dancers.  The very fabric of reality was splitting on the Resort stage.

The Portal opened, and out stepped a hulk of an Orc.  Snorting, he gestured with his hands an ‘all-clear’ signal, and jumped off the stage.

Following the Orc, a Blood Elf deftly leaped from the Portal’s opening and onto the stage.  Tucking in the air, she hit the stage without a sound.  The Elf rolled with the fall, and stood up, looking out across the pool.

“Are you sure this is the place Kathya?”  asked the Hunter.

“Of course I’m sure, have I ever been wrong?”  replied the Forsaken stepping out of the Portal.

The trio were received by thunderous applause from the poolside crowd.  To the resort guests it seemed to be all part of the show.

“Hellwolf, do you see them?”  asked the female Blood Elf.

“I don’t have to Kildara, I can smell the General’s cologne from here.”  retorted the Orc.  “There, I see both of them.”  Hellwolf pointed his immense Axe in the direction of the poolside bar.

“Well then, let’s go have a chit-chat shall we?”  chimed Kildara.  “Coming Kathya?”

“Oh I wouldn’t miss this conversation for my Life back!”  laughed the Forsaken Mage.

…

“Panzer, did you just see that?”  asked Zyley.  “That couldn’t be… no it can’t be them.  I’ve had too many cocktails tonight.”

“See what? I’m looking for the waitress!  I need a refill, dammit!”  slurred Dawnstar, and waiving around his glass.

The three sober Zergadins marched directly toward the pair of Paladins. Kildara loosed an arrow at the General’s glass, shattering it into countless pieces, completely gaining the pair’s attention.

“It is them, oh for the love of Old Gods, I have a head ache already…”  cried Zyley.  “Straighten up General, I think we are about to check out.”

…

Charging at Panzer, the Orc used his shoulder to slam his General on the ground.

Kathya spoke softly, looking directly at Zyley.

“Please, not a Monkey, anything but a Monkey Kathya!”  shouted Zyley

An instant, and puff of Arcane dust later, Zyley was a Monkey.  The monkey that replaced the Blood Elf Healer, slapped a hand to his forehead.  The smack was audible over Panzer’s groan of pain from the tackle he received from Hellwolf.

“Play time’s over boys.”  stated Kildara.  “We’ve got work to do.”

“I left Gnome in charge, go put him to work!”  grumbled Panzer.  “Besides, we’re retired!”

Snapping her bony fingers, Kathya returned Zyley to his original existence.

“He’s the one who sent us General.”  said Kathya, crossing her arms under a deflated chest.  “It seems he believes you two still have some Zerg left in you.”

“In other words, Vaction’s over.”  Hellwolf said, spitting on the ground.  “I said we didn’t need you, but for some reason he insisted.  So here we are.”

“Leave your bags boys.  Sun-tan lotion and sunglasses will be little use in Pandaria.”  Kildara spoke.

“Panda-what?”  asked Zyley.

“Pan-dar-ehhh-ahhh” mocked the Hunter.  “It’s where we are going.”

“Don’t forget Hellscream.  He’s attacking Theramore as we speak.”  informed Kathya.  “We’ll need to organize the rest of the Zergadins before we set sail.”

Returning with Panzer’s refill the Goblin bartender asked, “Will you be checking out gentlemen?”

“It seems that way.”  grumbled Dawnstar.  “Vacation’s over…”

“Hold on one minute, I don’t go anywhere with my Ray-Bans.”  demanded Zyley.
