Well, I went along because I figured it was some kind of gigantic trap, but when I got there it seemed legit enough that I could at least enjoy myself a little bit. In the end it WAS a huge trap, so Me, Silver and Blaze teamed up to kick Eggy's ass to the curb. In space. And he got sucked into a black hole vortex thing and was gone for a month or two, which was awesome.

[He stirred his tea again and took a sip. Mmm.]

He was harvesting little colorful aliens called Wisps for their energy. The Wisps can enter your body and give you powers for a short time. One that I made friends with could turn me into a blue laser - it was intense!
