Ling Tong

Zhu Rong: "It's peaceful here by the lake, Ling Tong. Much better than the battlefield."
Ling Tong: "Indeed. The water feels great. Though I'm surprised you convinced my Lord Sun Quan to let us take a break in these... outfits."
Zhu Rong: "A little time off is good for morale. Besides, this 'bikini' is much more comfortable than my usual armor! Who's man enough to take a swim with the Goddess of Fire?"
Ling Tong: "Laughs The scenery is certainly... vibrant."

(Above Water - SPLASH!)

Zhu Rong: "Last one in is a cowardly general!"
Ling Tong: "Laughs You're on!"

(Underwater - Bubbles rise as they swim)

Ling Tong: "Look at the sunlight filtering through the water... it's surprisingly clear."
Zhu Rong: "The fish are curious, too! It's another world down here. Almost makes me forget about Cao Cao for a minute."
Ling Tong: "Almost. But for now, let's just enjoy the silence."

After their swim, Ling Tong and Zhu Rong dry off on the grassy banks near the village. 

Simple Dialogue

Ling Tong: "The sun is warm enough to dry these clothes in minutes. I almost didn't want to leave the water, though."

Zhu Rong: "You can’t stay a fish forever, Ling Tong. Besides, the village is starting to light their cookfires. I can smell the roasted meat from here!"

Ling Tong: "You always have a nose for food. But you're right—it's a good change of pace to walk on solid ground without worrying about an ambush."

Zhu Rong: "Don't get too comfortable. Once we're dry, I want a rematch on that race. No swimming this time—just a sprint to those trees!"

Ling Tong: "Laughs Always looking for the next challenge. Fine, Goddess of Fire. Try to keep up!"

Ling Tong: "Flexes his bicep" "Feeling strong after that swim. What do you think, Zhu Rong? Impressed by the physique?"

Zhu Rong: "Raises an eyebrow, an amused smirk on her face" "Hmm. Decent. You look good, I suppose."

Ling Tong: "Puffs out his chest slightly" "Just decent? I thought I was showing off my battle-ready form here."

Zhu Rong: "Leans back, confident" "Well, it's a solid effort. But remember, muscles are one thing. You still haven't beaten me in a race today. That takes more than just flexing."

Ling Tong: "Chuckles, dropping the pose" "Always a competitor, aren't you? Alright, point taken. The show's over, the challenge is on."

Ling Tong: "Watch this! I found a mystic artifact in the village earlier. They say it can make anyone light as air!"

Zhu Rong: "Light as air? Ling Tong, what are you—"

(Ling Tong takes a deep breath and mimes a blowing motion toward Zhu Rong. Suddenly, she begins to round out and expand like a giant beach ball.)

Zhu Rong: "Hey! My feet are leaving the ground! I’m... I’m inflating! Ling Tong, stop laughing!"

Ling Tong: "Looking up as she drifts higher" "It actually worked! You look like a giant Fire Goddess balloon floating over the village!"

Zhu Rong: "Floating high above the trees" "Get me down from here! The view is great, but I can't reach my boomerang!"

Ling Tong: "Staying his normal size on the grass" "Don't worry! The villagers think it’s a festival decoration. Just enjoy the breeze for a minute, 'Goddess of the Sky'!"

Zhu Rong: "Wait until I figure out how to float back down... you’re going to be the one running then!"

Simple Dialogue

(Zhu Rong is a giant balloon floating in the sky. Ling Tong points his nunchaku at her, ready for the next mystic trick.)

Ling Tong: "Okay, Zhu Rong, time for the reverse effect! My 'Air Release' technique!"

(He mimes a quick, precise attack. A small, comical jet of air visibly escapes from Zhu Rong’s mouth. She immediately starts flying backward like a deflating party balloon, a high-pitched whistling sound accompanying her flight.)

Zhu Rong: "Whistling sound, muffled shouting" "Waaaaah! Ling Toooooong!"

(She zooms across the sky and crashes directly into a group of six approaching officers from Lu Bu's forces who were marching on the path to the village.)

Jia Xu: "I warned Lu Bu this shortcut had unexpected obstacles."
Dian Wei: "What in the Wuhuan tribes was that?!"

(Zhu Rong lands on the ground with a loud THWUMP and a final pfft sound, completely flattened on the grass like a pancake, the six officers tangled up around her.)

Jia Chong: "Untangling himself" "Of all the ways to get ambushed..."
Lu Bu: "Standing up, furious" "Who dares interrupt my march?!"

(Ling Tong calmly walks over, kicking aside a few feathers from Zhu Rong’s headdress.)

Ling Tong: "To the flattened Zhu Rong" "Well, that was a messy landing. You okay, Zhu Rong?"

Zhu Rong: "Voice flat and weak from the ground" "Just... peachy. You're cleaning this up."

Ling Tong: "To Lu Bu's forces" "Sorry about the aerial assault, gents. Just a minor, deflated complication."

(Lu Bu and his officers stand tangled up and stunned in the grassland.)

Lu Bu: "Furious" "Zhu Rong! Ling Tong! You have humiliated the great Lu Bu! You will pay dearly for this insolence!"

Jia Xu: "My Lord, perhaps we should prioritize untangling ourselves and recovering our composure before engaging the flying woman and the... airbender."

Dian Wei: "I don't care about composure! I just want to crush something!"

(Ling Tong approaches the group, hands on his hips.)

Ling Tong: "Smirking" "Looks like you all had a bad landing. And here I thought the 'Goddess of Fire' was known for smooth exits."

Jia Chong: "Scoffs, pushing Wang Yi aside" "This is beneath us. An undignified skirmish in a cow field."

Guo Huai: "Adjusting his glasses, looking weary" "And now we're facing the full might of Sun Quan's forces... represented by one man and a deflated lady. Our intelligence was lacking."

(Ling Tong casually kicks Zhu Rong, who is still flat on the ground.)

Zhu Rong: "Muffled" "Hey! Stop that! And someone get these officers off me!"

Ling Tong: "My work here is done. Looks like you're stuck in this grass for the day, Lu Bu. The village is safe, the lake is clear, and your 'forces' are grounded. I'd call that a victory."

(Ling Tong turns and walks away as the six officers struggle to free themselves from the tangled Zhu Rong and Lu Bu shouts in the background.)

Lu Bu: "Roaring" "This is not over! I am Lu Bu! I will have my revenge!"

(Ling Tong keeps walking, whistling a tune, leaving the six antagonists in a heap of frustration and defeat.)

In a flash of light, Ling Tong teleports away from the battlefield and the tangled mess of Lu Bu’s forces, appearing instantly in a luxurious backyard behind a large house in the village.

Simple Dialogue

Ling Tong: "Looking around, surprised" "Now that’s what I call a quick exit! No more dust, no more angry Lu Bu... just me and this pool."

(He looks down at the crystal-clear water of the swimming pool, reflecting the warm sun of the grassland.)

Ling Tong: "Perfect. This is much better than the lake. No mud, no fish—just peace and quiet."

(Zhu Rong suddenly teleports in beside him, fully restored to her normal, non-flattened size and looking refreshed.)

Zhu Rong: "Hey! You didn't think you were going to enjoy this luxury without me, did you?"

Ling Tong: "Laughing" "I should have known you'd find a way here. Welcome to the victory party, Zhu Rong."

Zhu Rong: "The 'bad guys' are stuck back there in the grass, and we have a private pool. I'd say this is the best ending possible."

Ling Tong: "Agreed. Last one in has to go back and check on Lu Bu!"

(They both jump into the water with a massive splash, finally enjoying their time off as the sun sets over the peaceful village.)

The End
