Frank ran back into the same alleyway where he met the thugs and Emilia, "What the hell?.." Frank put his hand on his forehead "Did I just ... die?" Frank asked himself confused about the situation
Frank took out his camera to check if the pictures of the knight was still there, and they were but... "Wait, when did I take these pictures?" Frank scrolled through the camera's photos, as they now had photos Frank never took, there were three new ones: A picture of house he and Emilia went to at daytime, A picture of 4 people sitting at a table, one of them was the man Frank found dead, and the last one was the house at night, the whole roof completely blown off the 4 people were there along with Emilia, Puck and a tall red haired man.
"Hey what you looking at?" Frank looked up to see the three thugs from last time, "If you don't want to get hurt, then cough up whatever you have!" the thug shouted, Frank stood up "Do I really have to deal with you guys again?" Frank said.
"Again?, What the hell are you talking about?" The thug asked, Frank took a deep sigh "Right Look, I don't have nothing on me that's of any value, so can I just go?" Frank asked, The thugs laughed at Frank, they know such a request isn't possible, "Alright, fine... but I really don't wanna deal with you three so..." Frank takes a deep breath and begins to shout "HELP KNIGHTS, POLICE SOMEONE! THERE ARE SOME HORRIBLY DRESSED TEENS TRYING TO MUG ME!" "What the hell? you bastard!" the thug shouted as he questioned Frank's actions "HELP ME! OH SOMEONE! THESE TEENS, THEY ARE VERY ANGRY ABOUT THEIR PARENTS NEGLECTING THEM AND ARE READY TO KILL ME!" Frank continued to shout "What the hell, shut up!" The thug yelled. Frank stopped yelling, nobody showed up, no guards or Emilia.. one of the thugs laughed, "Don't scare me like that, you almost made me freak out..." "Ah crap" Frank said muttered to himself. "That's enough." A voice said from behind Frank, the thugs stopped and looked behind Frank, "Red hair... a knight's sword, with scratches made by dragon claws... It can't be..." The person behind Frank took a couple steps forward "R-Reinhard?" one of the thugs said nervously, "Seems I needn't introduce myself." Reinhard said "s-screw this! It's not worth it!" all three thugs ran off scared. Reinhard turned to Frank "I'm glad we are both safe, are you unhurt?" Frank nodded "Yeah, I'm fine thanks, the name is Frank West" Reinhard smiled, "there's no need for such formality Frank, Once it was two against three, they lost the advantage and ran" Reinhard took a look down the alley, seeing if the thugs were hiding "Are you sure they weren't just scared of you?" Frank asked, Reinhard turned to Frank "Well, I guess it also could be that." Reinhard responded. "If there is anything you need help with Frank, I'd be glad to assist" Reinhard asked, Frank thought to himself, "Alright, If you see a girl with white robes and silver hair, tell her to come to the loot house prepared for anything, her insignia is there" Frank requested, "Well.. if I see her, I'll be sure to relay your message." Reinhard responded "Thank you" Frank walked off to go to the loot house, Reinhard waved goodbye "Whatever that man is getting himself into, doesn't sound good" Reinhard said to himself.
Frank walked up to the loot house and began to knock, "Hello? anyone there?" Frank waited a little bit for response... nothing, Frank began to knock louder "Hello? You guys stole something and I need it!" The door suddenly opened up "Quit yer yapping! You think you can just walk in here without the password or signal?" a large man opened up the door "Whadda ya want?" The man asked Frank "I said I'm here for something you guys stole" Frank responded "Well, there's a lot of things in here that are stolen, Your gonna have to be more specific" The man said "Come on in and we can discuss this" the large man held the door open as Frank walked in. After a while Frank discusses the thing that was stolen, the large man, named Rom has told Frank that the person who stole it, has not came back yet. "Well, I guess I'll wait here then." Frank said sitting on a chair looking around "Hey actually... You mentioned someone who stole the insignia" Frank turned around and faced Rom "Yeah, she hasn't came back yet." Rom responded "Is that all who works in this business?" Frank asked "yeah... why do you ask?" Rom responded "nothing... nothing... just curious" Frank shook his head "Who was that other kid then..." time passes by and eventually Emilia shows up, "Eh? your not Felt." Rom said looking at Emilia "No, I'm here for my Insignia." Emilia responded, Emilia turned over to Frank "Are you the one who told Reinhard to give me that message?" Emilia asked "Yep, overheard about how some girl got robbed, I had nothing else better to do so I figured I'd do some investigating and help." Frank responded, he had to come up with something, telling Emilia the truth would make him sound crazy. "Well, nothing can be done until Felt gets ba-" Rom was interrupted by someone running through the door and slamming it shut "Felt?" Rom asked "Rom! we need to get out of here! we need to leave!" The small blonde girl was covered in scratches, it looks like she barely escaped a fight. "The person who wanted this! The insignia thing, she's coming here!" Felt was panicking, "Whats going on?" Emilia asked "Yeah, who's coming here?" Frank also questioned "The girl who wanted us to steal the Insignia she -" suddenly the door was being cut down, torn into bits like it was nothing.
"Ahh, where are you?" I woman holding a sharp dagger walked through the door, what was weird about it though, Is that her eyes were glowing purple and a dark aura was around her "If you'd just given me the Insignia earlier I wouldn't have to do this, but you've taken me this far, and I know what happens in here. the girl said, now sounding like she was ready to kill. "Hey!" Rom shouted as he picked up a club and began to charge at her, halfway through the charge Rom was stopped and picked up by the neck from... nothing, "That isn't gonna work, "she" has given me powers, "she" has told me what happens in here, and my goal is to make sure I retrieve what I came for, and "she" has decided to help me with that..."
"What in the.."Frank said quietly, Frank held up his camera to get a picture, but as he did, he discovered what was holding Rom up. "Is this girl..." Emilia began to speak nervously, Frank took a good look at what he saw "Is she... a witch cultist? Rom was being held up by what appeared to be giant arms. The girl threw Rom at the wall, "Now then, shall we get started?" she asked
