  Speaker 1: Hello, friends from across the nation and around the world.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: I'm Martin, and you are listening to a little podcast
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: called Dad's Bedtime Stories, a podcast I started by telling
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: bedtime stories to my own kids and have now expanded
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: to the entire world, with thousands of listeners every single
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: night and over a million good bedtimes so far. Now,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: if you don't know this about me, aside from being
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: a moderately successful podcaster, I'm also a vice principal.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Of a high school.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: And this week happens to be graduation week the end
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: of the year, and it is super busy. I mean, like,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: really really busy. Honestly, I should probably be taking the
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: week off of podcasting just to get everything done, but
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: something inside me just won't let me skip episodes without
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: some sort of major emotional damage. I'm not sure why
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk to a therapist about it, so instead,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: I've come up with a compromise. I kind of outsourced
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: this episode. Yeah, most episodes are written by me, spoken
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: by me, sometimes made up by me on the spot.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Actually most of the time they're honestly made up by
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: me on the spot, but tonight's episode was actually storyboarded
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: by me. I came up with the concepts, all the
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: main events, that sort of thing. But I might have
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: let chat GPT do the heavy lifting this time because
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I needed a break. I had time to read the episode,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: but I didn't have the creative energy to make a
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: full episode. If that makes any sense. Based on popular demand,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Tonight's episode will visit a little story called Sunshine the
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Ninja Chicken, a literary RPG adventure about a chicken who
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: gets a bunch of powers after escaping from its coop
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: and you know, fighting bad guys and stuff. Honestly, I
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: thought that I had done two of these. I really
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: really thought I'd done two episodes of Sunshine the Ninja Chicken.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: But I went to search tonight to find out what
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: happened in the last episode, and I.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Could only find one.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: So did I do two? I really I have no idea.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: If you can find a second episode I did on
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Sunshine the Ninja Chicken, please let me know. I found
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: a lot of episodes about chickens that I've done, including
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: one called Chickens Attack Manitoba, but I could only find
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: one on a Ninja Chicken. Well, technically, there's also one
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: about a karate chicken in the Cards of Power series
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: that I did recently. You know, either way, I think
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I've come up with a pretty good sequel here to
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the original, And while I outsourced some of the fine
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: details in writing, I really feel like the plot of
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the story is still mine, if that makes any sense,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and I'm gonna read it, so I hope that's cool.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Let me know your thoughts and please comment if you
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: find another Sunshine the Ninja Chicken episode other than just
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: the first one. Before we get started, I want to
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: give a big shout out to one of my newest
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Patreon sponsors. Thank you to ten year old Miles Andrews
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: from Ashland, Oregon. I have never been to Oregon and
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the only thing I know about Oregon is based on
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: a video game I played in the nineteen nineties. I
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: think it was called Oregon Trail. Ask your parents about it.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: And now, after a possible word from a possible sponsor,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: we'll get onto the story. Sorry about the ads, we
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: gotta fund this somehow. Time to close your eyes, get
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: as comfy as you can in that bed, and imagine
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: yourself doing what the kid in the story does, or
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: actually that makes no sense, imagine yourself doing what the chicken,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: the ninja chicken in the story does The morning after
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Sunshine shadow beaks first great adventure began exactly the way
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: most mornings began. On Colson and Cecily's hobby farm. The
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: sun rose, the grass sparkled, the chickens clucked. Somewhere nearby,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: a goat sneezed with the confidence of an animal who
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: believed the whole world needed to hear it. Inside the coop,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Sunshine sat quietly in her nest, looking like a perfectly
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: normal chicken. This was, of course a lie. To Coulson
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: and Cecily. Sunshine was just their chicken, a little strange,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: maybe a little too good at escaping, definitely, but still
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: a chicken. Inside Sunshine's mind, however, things were different. She
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: remembered the forest. She remembered the possum bandits. She remembered
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: rescuing Muffin' the duck from a bucket. She remembered the
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: whirling demon, which humans would probably have called a weat whacker,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: but Sunshine knew evil when she hurt, making that much noise.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Most of all, she remembered the flame feathered temple. And
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: she remembered her powers, ninja awareness, precision, peck level on.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Ninja jump level one, fire beak level one. Sunshine closed
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: her eyes. A ninja is patient, she thought. Outside the coop,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: footsteps crunched over the grass. Colson's voice came first. Okay,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: this time we watched for Sunshine, Cecily answered, I was
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: already watching Sunshine last time you watched her escape. That
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: still counts as watching. The latch clicked, the coop door
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: creeped open. Every chicken burst forward at once, flapping and squawking,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: as if breakfast was a matter of life and death, which,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: to be fair, most chickens seem to believe it was.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Sunshine did not move right away.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: She waited.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Colson leaned down with the feed bucket. Cecily stepped sideways,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: and a tiny gap between them appeared. Now, Sunshine thought,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: She sprang forward. Ninja jump launched her higher than any
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: reasonable chicken should have gone. She bounced off the edge
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: of the nesting box, landed for half a second on
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Colson's shoulder, and used him as a launching platform. Hey
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Coulson shouted. Sunshine sailed over the fence, spun once in
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the air, and landed in the grass beyond the coop.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Cecily stared, Did Sunshine just double jump off your shoulder?
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I ain't think, Colson said, our chicken is doing this
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: on purpose. Sunshine did not wait to explain, mostly because
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: she could not explain, and also because it was funnier
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: that way. She darted into the woods. The forest welcomed
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: her with cool shadows, soft moss, and the distant chatter
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: of squirrels, who were already making rude comments about her
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: dramatic landing. Sunshine ignored them. A true ninja does not
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: answer every squirrel. She moved between the trees, using ninja
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: awareness to scan the world around her. A beetle under
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: a leaf, a twig about to crack, a breeze shifting
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: from the west, and then something strange. A patch of
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: moss near the roots of an old maple tree seemed
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: to rise and fall. Sunshine froze. Moss was not supposed
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: to do that, at least she fairly sure that moss
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: was not supposed to do that. She crept closer and
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: tapped the moss with her precision peck. There was a click,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: the ground rumbled, the mossy patch split open, revealing a
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: round hole with stone steps leading downward. A golden feather
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: of light spun into the air. The smooth voice of
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: the Chicken Upgrade system spoke in her mind. Hidden Dungeon
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: discovered beginner hero testing ground recommended classification heroic farm animal Warning.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Dungeon may contain danger, treasure, dramatic lightning, and unnecessary announcements.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Sunshine stared into the darkness. It smelled like stone and
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: old magic and eh, well, something that hadn't been dusted
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: in a really long time. A reasonable chicken would have
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: gone home, but Sunshine was no reasonable chicken. She hopped
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: down the steps. The tunnel twisted beneath the roots of
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: the forest. Tiny torches flared to life as she passed,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: one by one until she reached a round stone chamber.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: The door slammed shut behind her. At the far side
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: of the chamber stood a fox. He was lean, red
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: and very, very hungry looking. His yellow eyes fixed on Sunshine. Well,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: said the fox, dinner has entered the dungeon. A glowing
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: message appeared in front of Sunshine. Dungeon Level one Predator
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Encounter opponent hungry Fox objective survive and defeat the enemy
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: reward level up. Sunshine narrowed her eyes. The fox lunged
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Sunshine leaped sideways just as his jaws snapped shut where
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: her tail feathers had been. She landed on a broken
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: stone block, then jumped again. As the fox swiped at
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: her with one paw. Ninja awareness made every movement sharper.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: The fox's shoulders dipped before he pounced, his tail twitched
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: before he turned. His ears flattened before he charged. Sunshine
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: could read him, but reading a fox and not being
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: eaten by one were two very different things. The fox
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: rushed again. Sunshine used Ninja jumped to spring straight over him.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: As she passed above his head, she struck down with
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: a precision peck right on his forehead, right between the ears.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: The fox yelped ow. Sunshine landed behind him and clucked once.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: The fox growled and charged again, faster this time. Sunshine
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: backed toward the wall, waited until the last possible second,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: then jumped up the stones. The fox smashed face first
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: into the wall. While he shook his head, Sunshine activated
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: fire beak. Her beak glowed orange. He shimmered in the air.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: The fox blinked. Sunshine launched herself forward, flaming precision peck
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: right on the fox's nose. The fox howled, spun in
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: a circle, and spread it towards a small side door
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: that had a sign above it that read emergency Exit.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: The fox vanished through it, still yelping about spicy chickens
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: in their fiery beaks. The Dungeon voice echoed through the room.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Level one complete, awarding two level ups Please select two upgrades.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: A glowing menu appeared in front of Sunshine. The Ninja
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Chicken skill tree shimmered. New options unfolded like little feathers
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: made of light. Sunshine carefully read through the options before
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: eventually selecting Ninja Projectiles Level one effect. Selected feathers may
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: temporarily harden into steal like projectiles, and launched a ward
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: a target. Feathers regrow immediately. Lee Sunshine ruffled her wings.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: A single feather glowed, hardened, and shot across the room
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: like a tiny throwing knife. It struck a wooden target
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: that had appeared on the wall with a thunk. Excellent,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Sunshine thought. Then she moved to her second upgrade, Ninja
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Agility Level one effect. Greatly improved speed, balance, dodging, wall running,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: water skipping, swinging, climbing, and general obstacle course nonsense. Think
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: American Ninja Warrior. A rush of energy moved through her
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: legs and wings. Sunshine felt lighter, faster, more dangerous, and
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: also slightly more dramatic. For some reason, a square stone
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: platform rose from the floor. Doors slid open, and inside
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: was a tiny little elevator, just the right size.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: For a chicken.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Sunshine stepped in. The doors shut and gentle music began
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: to play. For some reason, Sunshine stared straight ahead. This
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: dungeon was strange. The elevator sank deep into the earth
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: and finally opened into a huge room filled with bright lights.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Sunshine expected another monster. Instead, she found an obstacle course.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: There were swinging ropes, spinning barrels, narrow beams, moving platforms,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: a pool of water, and an enormous red button. At
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: the far end. A voice boomed from nowhere. Ladies and gentlemen,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to farm animal Ninja Warrior. Sunshine froze. There
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: were no ladies, there were no gentlemen. There was only
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: a chicken and an underground dungeon. The announcer continued, Anyways,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: today's contestant is Sunshine. Shadowbeak around but determined chicken from
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: the local hobby farm. She may look fluffy but don't
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: let that fool you. This bird has already defeated a
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: hungry fox and unlocked advanced Ninja movement. Sunshine looked around slowly.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: The Chicken upgrade system appeared. Dungeon Level two Obstacle Trial objective.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Reached the end and hit the button warning falling into
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: the foam pit is in embarrassing but not lethal award
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: two level ups. Sunshine clucked. The first obstacle began to spin.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Here she goes, shouted the announcer. Sunshine is approaching the
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: spinning feed buckets. Sunshine jumped her new Ninja agility guide
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: at her feet. She landed on the first bucket, balanced
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: as it spun, then leapt to the second. It tilted
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: under her weight, but she flapped once, corrected herself and
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: sprang to the third. She's making it look easy, the
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: announcer cried, which is impressive because she's a chicken, and
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: most chickens are not known for their bucket jumping work.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Next came the swinging garden hoses. Sunshine grabbed one with
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: her feet, swung across the gap, and launched herself to another.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: For a terrifying second, she spun backward. Is she in
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: trouble folks. Sunshine fired to steal feather into a wooden post.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: The feather struck firm. She landed on it like it
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: was a tiny step, pushed off, and reached the next platform.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: She saves it with ninja projectiles. I don't know how
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: that's allowed, but the rules committee is made of stone
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: and has not complained. Sunshine raced onward. She ran up
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: the wall of questionable chicken choices, skipped across the pond
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: of mild regret, and balanced across the wobbly roosts as
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: they tilted under her claws. Finally, she reached the final
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: coop climb. It was tall, curved, and ridiculous looking. Sunshine
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: took a breath, then she ran her feet tapped the wall.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: One step, two three. She was running upward. At the top,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: she launched into the air with Ninja jump, spun once,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: and landed beside the giant red button. The announcer screamed,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: she has done it, Sunshine, shadow Beak has conquered the course.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Sunshine pecked the button, corn shaped confetti blasted into the air,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: and the dungeon voice returned. Level two complete, awarding two
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: level ups. Please select upgrades the menu opened. Sunshine looked again,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: reading very carefully, and eventually chose fire Beak level two.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Fire Beak level two unlocked effect user may release controlled
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: bursts of fire from the beak. Warning do not use
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: near hay, dry leaves, or emotionally fragile scarecrows. Sunshine opened
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: her beak, a small puff of flame came out.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: She nodded.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Then she continued to read through the other options. Eventually
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: she landed on something called Ninja Camouflage level one. Ninja
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Camouflage Level one unlocked effect user may blend into shadows, stones, leaves,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: or convenient background objects. Visibility greatly reduced, well sneaking. The
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: light dimmed for a moment, Sunshine suddenly looked like she
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: was part of the wall. Then she stepped forward and
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: became herself again. Another elevator rose from the ground. A
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: sign above it read final level farm Yard Duel. Sunshine
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: stepped inside.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: This time.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: The elevator music was somewhat dramatic, but still very elevator like.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: The doors opened into a circular arena. The floor was
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: made of sand. Lanterns glowed along the walls. A narrow
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: ring of water surrounded the center platform, and the middle
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: stood a duck wearing samurai armor. He had a tiny
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: reed helmet, a wooden training sowd and a calm expression.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: The duck bowed Sunshine shadowbeak. He said, I am Master
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: wattle Blade. I have waited many seasons for a worthy challenger.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Sunshine bowed back. She respected the drama. The system flashed.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Final dungeon Challenge Duel of feather and beak. Opponent Master
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: wattle Blade Samurai Duck objective defeat the dungeon Champion reward
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: two level ups. Master wattle Blade moved first. He crossed
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: the arena in a blur, wooden sword flashing. Sunshine dodge
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: the first strike, jumped over the second, and barely ducked
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: under the third. He was fast, very fast. Sunshine fired
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: three steel feathers. Master wattle Blade spun his sword and
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: knocked them out of the way.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Tap tap tap, good, he said, but not good enough.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: He swept one webbed foot across the sand. Sunshine jumped
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: over it, performed a front flip, landed on the wall,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: and ran sideways along the stones. Using ninja agility. The
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: duck followed her movement perfectly. He splashed one wing into
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: the ring of water, sending a wave across the arena.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Sunshine skipped over the surface of it, her feet, touching
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: the water so lightly that she barely sank at all.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Master wattle Blade charged again. Sunshine opened her beak and
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: breathed fire. A bright burst of flame shot forward. The
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: duck spun, splashing water into the fire. Steam filled the arena.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: For a moment, neither fighter could see. Sunshine activated ninja camouflage.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Her feathers blended with the gray cloud. She vanished. Master
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: wattle Blade stood still. Sword raised clever, he said, but
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: a true warrior does not only watch with his eyes.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: He turned sharply and blocked a feather projectile before it
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: reached him. Sunshine froze. He was good, too good for
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: one simple attack. So Sunshine stopped fighting like a chicken
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: and started fighting like Sunshine Shadow beak, the ninja chicken.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: She fired two steel feathers into the sand on the
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: left side of the arena. Master wattle Blade turned toward
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: the sound. Then Sunshine ran silently along the wall on
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: the right, using ninja camouflage. She used Ninja jump to
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: spring upward. She breathed the short burst of fire behind herself,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: not at the duck, but kind of into the air.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: The burst pushed steam across the arena, making the shadows dance.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Master wattle Blade looked up a heartbeat too late. Sunshine
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: dropped from above, fire beak glowing precision. Peck ready. Master
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: wattle Blade raised his sword. Sunshine twisted in mid air,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: tapped one talon against a steel feather stuck in the wall,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: changed direction and came in from the side instead. Peck
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: ride on the duck's helmet. The reed helmet spun off,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: his head, bounced in the sand, and landed upside down.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Master waddle Blade froze. Then the ducks smiled and bowed deeply.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: You have passed. The lanterns flared with golden light. The
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: dungeon voice echoed through the chamber. Congratulations, you have defeated
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: the dungeon. Please select two final level up rewards. Sunshine
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: stood tall as the menu opened one last time. She
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: read carefully before eventually landing on something called sword Talons
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Level one. Congratulations, you have unlocked sword Talons Level one effect.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Talons may temporarily form short energy blades for cutting, climbing, blocking,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: or extremely dramatic poses. Her claws glowed for a moment,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: stretching into bright little blades of energy. Then she continued
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: to read until she came to the perfect thing. Body
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: of Steel level one. Body of Steel Level one, Unlocked
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: effect feathers may temporarily harden into protective steel. Armor movement
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: speeds slightly reduced, well active. Her feathers shimmered for a second.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: She looked like a tiny armored warrior chicken. Then the
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: glow faded. The arena doors opened and a fine elevator waited.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Sunshine stepped inside. This time there was no music for
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: some reason, only quiet. The elevator rose and rose until
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: the doors opened into warm daylight. Sunshine stepped out beside
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: the old maple tree in the forest. Behind her, the
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: hidden dungeon entrance sealed itself. Beneath the moss. A final
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: message appeared, Dungeon complete. Hero training initiated greater threats pending.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Sunshine looked down at herself, her full powerless now felt
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: huge Ninja awareness, Precision Peck level one, Ninja Jump level one,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Ninja Projectiles level one, Ninja Agility level one, Firebeak level two,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Ninja Camouflage level one, Sword Talons level one, and Body
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: of Steel level one. She was stronger than ever, She
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: was faster than ever. She was probably the most dangerous
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: chicken in a very large area. Then a voice called
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: from behind her, Sunshine. Sunshine slowly turned Colson and Cecily
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: stood at the edge of the woods. Cecily pointed at her.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: How did you get out again? Coulson narrowed his eyes,
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: and why do you look so smug? Sunshine could have escaped.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: She could have activated ninja camouflage and vanished into the trees.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: She could have used Ninja jump to soar over them.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: She could have fired steel feathers, breathed fire, activated her
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: body of steel, and came a tiny farmyard legend. But
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Colson and Cecily had always been kind to her. They
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: fed her, they gave her a safe coop, and most importantly,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: they had never once tried to eat her, which Sunshine
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: considered an excellent quality in a person. So she stood still.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Colson gently picked her up. There you are, he said,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: you weird little chicken. Cecily smiled, I think she missed us.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Sunshine did not correct her. She rested calmly in Colson's
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: arms as they carried her back through the grass. The
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: farm looked peaceful, the coop looked warm. The other chickens clucked,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: as if nothing strange had happened at all. Colson placed
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Sunshine gently inside. Tried to stay in here this time,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: he said. Sunshine blinked at him. No promises, she thought.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: The coop doors closed. Sunshine walked to her nest, circled once,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: and settled into the soft straw. Her new powers rested
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: quietly inside her, like sparks waiting under ash. Somewhere beneath
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: the forest, the dungeon slept, Somewhere in the distance, the
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: flame feathered temple waited, And somewhere deep in the glowing
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: secrets of the chicken upgrade system, a new message flickered
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: for only a moment before fading away. Greater threats pending.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Sunshine closed her eyes. A ninja must rest, and with that,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Sunshine shadow beak, heroic chicken of the hobby Far Far
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: drifted into dreams of fire, feathers, foxes, ducks, and whatever
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: strange adventures would come next.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: Good Night, everybody.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: More and never union name in New York, Union, no thing,
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: no more Union in one one man
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: Ne m
