They walked in and where greeted by another balcony but a bit smaller, they walked to the end and looked over and saw soldiers made from stone as far as the eye could see, they heard foot steps behind them and turned quickly to face it, when it entered everyone was shocked as a soldier walked in (like the ones behind them) the soldier was shocked as well but as soon as his eye landed on Arthur he calmed down and walked to him as soon as he was five feet away from him he went to one knee with his left fist on the floor while his right one was on the leg. "welcome home, my lord" he said, when he did everyone including Arthur was shocked, Arthur quickly calmed down "rise" Arthur commanded and he did so "who are you?" Arthur asked "I'm Kratos, Genral of the first battalion and commander of the royal guard" Kratos said "so, where are your men?" Arthur asked "right behind you, my lord" everyone was confused but Arthur "why are they in stone?" He asked "they're in stasis, waiting for you, my lord" Kratos said "how do I get them out?" Arthur asked "put your hand on the pedestal behind you, but you must be alone to do so" Kratos said, Arthur then nodded to the others to wait outside and turned to the pedestal but Kratos stopped him "before you do take this" he said as he handed a small bag the size of a pocket "inside it are ten seeds that will give you power no man or god can imagine but the side effects involve you going in a lust filled rampage and you'll 'bed' the closest woman and after you'll go in a three day coma, so don't use them unless you have to" he warned him before he left, Arthur placed the pouch in his bag and went to place his hand on the pedestal, when he did all of the stone on the soldiers cracked and fell off soon all of them were free, they then started to glow and vanish like they were teleporting, soon he couldn't see any of them so he left.
When he entered the throne room everyone went to him asking what happened he told then that when he freed then they glowed and vanished "they teleported to set camp somewhere" Kratos said, everyone but Arthur went to ask where but he cut them off "sorry my lord, I must leave an army can't go without a general" he said while bowing his head, soon he glowed and vanished. "well, that happened" was all Yang said "we better get back to Beacon, don't want to miss the first match of the tournament" Arthur said as they started to run back to the ship.

"so, cinder found them, and switched sides, while Emerald and Mercury got arrested" a woman in a black stone chair said to herself while looking in a floating orb "bring me the girl" she said to a buff looking man, he quickly left and came back with a girl with brown hair and a mask with horns on it when she stopped she removed the mask "so, you want power" she commented and the girl nodded "why?" She asked "so I can kill the barsted's that killed Adem, I want them to pay for killing my husband" she said with anger just at the thought "then you shall have power, but only half of it, to get the rest you must finish what cinder started" she said "and what is that?" He girl asked "destroy Beacon, oh and the people that killed him are there they're names are Arthur, Neo, Ruby, Serra and Blake" when the girl heard the last name she felt betrayed and that became anger "very well"
