• Jane Temblor (Archvillain, level 41)
• Fusion (Archvillain, level 41)
• Primal Col. Duray (Archvillain, level 41)
• Praetorian Col. Duray (Archvillain, level 41)

Praetorian Col. Duray: Fusion! I've lost contact with Riptide. I can only presume he's failed to hold off our pursuers. What is your status? Fusion: We're finishing up here, Colonel. Jane's just about got the whole place collapsed. Praetorian Col. Duray: If those two screwballs weren't walking weapons of mass destruction I would have volunteered them for Neuron's experiments months ago. Primal Col. Duray: If you think they're bad, then be glad you're not from here! Those two are nothing compared to their lovey-dovey Primal counterparts.

Fusion and Jane Dialogue

Before Combat:

Fusion: Hurry up and finish it already. I'm getting tired of waiting for you to do your job.

Jane Temblor: You'd better hope that force field of yours is as big as your mouth, Fusion, because I'm about to drop an entire freeway down on us.

Fusion: Heh, looks like Riptide wasn't as tough as he thought.

Fusion: Don't worry, 'babycakes', I'll deal with these losers myself.

Jane Temblor: Don't be an idiot, Fusion.

Jane Temblor: If Riptide and that 'head case' couldn't handle them then they're obviously tougher than they look.

Jane Temblor: We'll have to do this together.

Jane Temblor: Oh, and if you call me 'babycakes' one more time, I swear I will drop a skyscraper on you the next chance I get.

Jane During Combat:

Jane Temblor: Watch where you're pointing that thing!

Jane Temblor: Be more careful with your powers!

Fusion Combat Start:

Fusion: I can't believe YOU beat Riptide. You're both losers AND ugly.

Fusion: Hey, Jane, get this loser off of me!

50% Health:

25% Health:

Fusion: Oh man... this is bad...

Dialogue of The Durays

Before Combat:

Primal Col. Duray: Once this place is suitably demolished we'll head for the Faultline Dam and hold the city hostage.

Praetorian Col. Duray: I see you managed to defeat my morons.

Primal Col. Duray: I told you not to underestimate them!

Praetorian Col. Duray: Bravo.

Primal Col. Duray: This is Colonel Duray to Zulu-One. I need air support on my position; we have some vipers in our back field.

Praetorian Col. Duray: It's be a little while since I got to enjoy some close quarters fighting.

Combat Start on Praetorian Col. Duray:
75% Health:

Praetorian Col. Duray: Hey, I actually felt that through my armor. Maybe you are worth my full attention after all.

Wing Raider Officer: We've got a break out in sector Alpha-Two, Hotel-Seven.

Wing Raider Officer: Colonel Duray needs our help, all available forces, respond.

50% Health:

Praetorian Col. Duray: Normally that wouldn't impress me, but since you're all a bunch of backwards savages and you managed to actually hurt me, call me surprised.

25% Health:

Praetorian Col. Duray: Duray to Portal Command: Get a replacement suited up for me within the next minute, I may need him.

Upon Defeat:

Praetorian Col. Duray: Duray to Portal Command: Prepare for my reintegration.

Upon Player Defeat:

Praetorian Col. Duray: Face it, your world doesn't need you anymore.

Reinforcements Spawned:

Sky Skiff: This is Thunder Two-One, we are on scene in zero-five seconds, over.

Sky Skiff: We've got heroes on Duray's position, moving to engage!

Sky Skiff: All forces, go in, weapons hot.

Sky Skiff: This is Storm Wing reporting to breakout action in Alpha-Two, Hotel-Seven. Colonel Duray, please respond.

Sky Skiff: Fighting looks heavy, engage and fire at will.

Debriefing

You've shattered the spearpoint of the Praetorian thrust into Paragon City and captured a number of the IDF's soldiers and some of their elite powers division members. While Colonel Virgil Duray of the Sky Raiders supported this Praetorian offensive, it would seem that his Praetorian counterpart was just a cloned body used to house his spiritual essence. Praetoria's Duray has escaped to fight another day, leaving his soldiers and their Primal allies to suffer the consequences of their defeat as prisoners of war.

With spineless commanders like that I can tell you that the Praetorians will soon find themselves on the defensive and hemorrhaging soldiers like nobody's business. Now we have to turn our attention to cleaning up this mess.

Jim Temblor volunteered to help us clear rubble at the epicenter of where his Praetorian counterpart did her thing. Oh, and next time you visit Virgil Duray in prison thank him for building that giant floating monstrosity out in the Atlantic Ocean. We managed to lash the Donald Cook to its side and keep her from going down. That's 38 years without ever losing a ship under my command. Hah!

Oh! Before I go I wanted to give you these tickets to the Admiral's Ball to show my appreciation for all your help. Character, we couldn't have done this without you.
