HOLY F*** IM BACK BABY! So to cut to the chase without the bull here's my excuse. I was lazy. As much as I want to come up with some bullshit excuse I was just plain lazy. HOWEVER. The recent update with challenge mode along with the costumes, Shulk, and Fiora have reignited my passion. Also to the guest who sent a review today...I love you. All of you too.

"Rex!" Pyra yelled as she ran over to him. "They didn't hurt you right?"

"No...no, I'm fine." Rex said looking down.

"What did they tell you?" Mythra sitting on the bed as Rex got up. Mythra noticed the tattoo retracting on his arm.

'So that's how it works…' Mythra studied the boy as she spoke.

"They told me…" Rex thought for a minute. Everything began to make sense to him now. Both the blades were on edge. Their eagerness to keep Blanche and Noir away from him. It all made sense.

"They told me my father was alive." Rex said and both girls flinched simultaneously. Rex watched their faces and saw both of them in surprise. Pyra especially looked distraught as he said this. Rex's theory had been confirmed. They had known all along. His aura began to rise in anguish and frustration.

"Did...did both of you know?" Rex said as he clenched his fists.

"Rex...I-" Pyra began.

"Earlier on the ship...what you were going to tell me wasn't what you actually told me right?" Rex asked as tears began to form in his eyes. The women he thought he loved...that he fought for above all, had just kept the biggest secret possible from him.

"Well!?" Rex said as his voice got louder.

"...yes…" Pyra said as she looked down.

"Rex, we did it to protect you! If you knew of your father you would try and go to him, but he wants to kill you! Azurda only confirmed it when I went with him to check on the seals!" Mythra pleaded as she became defensive.

"Protect me? PROTECT ME?!" Rex had lost his cool. He wanted to be civil and show them his love, but the sadness and anger wouldn't stop. "All my life I've thought my parents were dead! I thought I was alone! Now you're telling me that my father has been alive all this time and you've known?! Gramps did too?! Why?!" Rex was fired up now.

"What did you want us to do?" Mythra said. "Like I said if we had told you earlier you would've been killed!"

"How long have you known!?" Rex said. "How long!?"

"Since we became Pneuma and regained all our memories…" Pyra said as she stood. "Rex I wanted to tell you, but I couldn't bring myself to."

Rex looked at the girl and tears welled up in his eyes. The amount of hurt and betrayal he felt. He told these two everything and they kept such a huge secret from him? He felt bad for losing his cool. The young salvager was known to be very passive when it came to confrontation. However, now he couldn't hold it in. Rex had realized what had just happened. He had lost his cool and that was unfair. However, he couldn't formulate the words in his mind. He needed to leave.

"I...I...I need to leave…" Rex ran out of the room past the two girls who looked a mixture of hurt and dumb founded.

As Rex ran out the door and into the hallway he passed Morag and Brighid who had come to collect him.

"Rex? Kyaa!" Rex had ran straight pass Brighid startling her slightly.

"Rex?! Where are you going the banquet is happening now!" Morag called out after him. Only after did Morag finally see the tears in his eyes and wondered what had happened. She looked down the hall to see the door slightly damaged and open. She walked in and saw Rex's room was a mess with Pyra and Mythra sitting on his bed looking downcast.

"Pyra...Mythra...what happened here?!" Morag said as she ran over to them with Brighid in tow.

XXXXXXXXX

Rex ran. He ran until he couldn't run anymore. His lungs felt like they were about to burst. He continued to Run until he felt the soil beneath him starting to lose its traction. The boy slid to a halt and his vision was blurry. He put his hands behind his head in an effort to catch his breath as he looked below him. The earth beneath him had dropped and he stood upon a hole that led to underground portion of Mor Ardain. It was at this time Rex had decided to look around to get his bearings and saw many unfamiliar sights.

"Where am I?" Rex mumbled to himself as around him trees, rocks, and sand were everywhere as he looked around. The old mountains that covered the wastes of Mor Ardain were now more hill like in structure as he decided to continue down the hole in front of him. As he walked down the hole he noticed that multiple footprints had been there and what looked like a large dent in the hill. He continued down until he got to a clearing and his mouth was agape.

"Holy Architect!" Rex said in amazement. He now knew where he was. A sign to the right of him read, 'The Fief of Forgetfulness.' Rex had been there once to salvage and to also find the gate key for the , instead of clouds surrounding it it was a now a oasis. Grass grew around the water and many plants and trees had sprouted. Bunnits hopped around the area as Rex wandered in. Suddenly, he heard a splash in the water accompanied by muffled screaming. He jumped back and grabbed for his sword. He had given his blades weapons to Lapis and she wasn't there so he was stuck with the sword Isaac had made for him. At the click of the hilt the sword shot out with green and white streaks all around it. Rex got in a battle readied stance. A figure flopped out of the water and onto the ground accompanied by another dark figure on the larger ones back. Since it was night it was harder to see, but Rex could hear the voice of the figure like it was clear as day.

"Ugh, my prince, why can't you take a normal route for once in your life?!" The smaller figure stood up and started to wring her clothes out.

"Pandy dear, there is no adventure in that! I was sure this had been a shortcut! Anyways look where we are! We're at none other than the Fief of Forgetfulness, which is right under Mor Ardain!" The larger of the two yelled out as he put his hands on his hips. Hearing these voices Rex sheathed his sword as he decided to talk to the pair.

"Zeke?! Pandy!? Is that you?" Rex said with little surprise. Throughout his adventures Zeke's luck was not very good so this was slightly normal.

"Pandy do you hear that?! A monster sounds like our chum!" Zeke said as his one eye went wide. "YOU DON'T THINK A MONSTER ATE HI-" Zeke screamed, but was cut off when Pandy punched him in the arm.

"Ow! What was that for dear?" Zeke said playfully.

"Look in front of you my prince…" Pandy said with a sigh.

Zeke did as he was told and looked directly in front of him.

"OH MY ARCHITECT! REX WAS TURNED INTO A BUNNIT?!" Zeke said in horror as a bunnit stared directly at him with amusement. Pandy sighed and walked in front of Zeke.

"No! Over there!" Pandy grabbed Zeke's face and angled in toward Rex's direction.

Zeke gasped.

"CHUM IT REALLY IS YOU!" Zeke said as he almost knocked Pandy to the ground as he ran over to his friend.

"Woah calm down Zeke!" Rex said with a laugh. "What are you guys doing here? Wait, actually, don't answer that one."

"That's probably for the best…" Pandy said with a sarcastic tone.

"Nevermind that chap! What are you doing down here?" Zeke said as slipped his arm around Pandy's waist. Pandoria visibly flushed flinched by this, but soon relaxed into it leaning into her driver.

"Well...it's a long story." Rex said as he began to tell Zeke the story of the past hour and how he had learned his father was still alive.

XXXXXXXXX

"Wow, that was quite a long story…" Morag said as she finished cleaning up the mess the previous battle had made. The sisters had finished telling Morag and Brighid what had happened and why Rex went sprinting out of the room.

"I...don't know what to say…" Was all Brighid could manage as she looked at her comrades.

"We're horrible aren't we? He hates us doesn't he?" Pyra said looking down.

"What you did may have not been the best course of action, but you did it out of love for Rex. That is what matters." Morag said as she sat beside the two.

"Listen, Rex is an idiot, but he knows what he needs to do. Just give him time. There's no way he could possibly hate you either." Brighid said as she consoled them. Mythra just looked down and didn't say a word leaving it to her sister to do the explaining.

"The look of anger and sadness in his eyes...it was...filled with pain." Mythra finally spoke up.

"Listen, you two need a distraction for right now!" Morag stood up with a consoling smile as she took her hand off of Pyra's shoulder. "Mythra you showed me that family always comes first back at the Cliffs of Morytha (heart to heart) so I will help you find your answer too! As well as you Pyra. Brighid take them to the dressing room to get changed for the banquet. The leaders are very excited to see you both tonight!" Morag walked out of the room and left the three blades in peace.

"Come girls, why don't we see if we can make Rex a little more of a man tonight?" Brighid said which made both girls twitch.

XXXXXXXXX

"Are you sure this actually looks good? Aren't I showing a little too much skin?" Mythra said. She was wearing a long black dress with a keyhole by her breasts and a slit for her legs.

"Mythra you show more skin with your regular clothes than with that on." Pyra said as she chuckled.

Mythra whistled in return. "Wow, I may be one to talk, but look at you Ms. Red. Trying that hard to impress Rex huh?" Pyra had worn a long flowing red dress that was form fitting. It only went to her knees and had no shoulders. She was wearing red lipstick and her classic green earrings.

"You're one to talk. I think I remember Rex saying he liked our Pneuma hair style more than anything and whaddya know you just happen to be wearing your hair in the exact same way as that form." Pyra grinned she knew she was right.

"Wha!? What do you mean!? I just thought it fit more with this dress!" Mythra retorted.

"Alright then how about a wager?" Brighid chimed in.

"What do you mean?" Mythra asked.

"Let's see who gets a better reaction out of Rex. That person will be the one to spend the night with him." Brighid said as she walked in to the dressing room. The girls mouths dropped at the sight of her. Brighid was wearing what looked like a blue and black bridal gown with sparkles that mixed with her flames. Her eyes were open and they shone like her blue flames as she showed off her figure. Mythra immediately got jealous.

"Wait...you too?! You're our rival?!" Mythra said with a jealous glare. At this point Pyra and Brighid were laughing out loud.

"Oh dear no...you can have Rex all to yourselves. Me and Lady Morag have somewhat of a relationship together." Brighid said wiping the tears from her eyes.

"Pyra you knew?!"

"Yes I did. It was quite obvious." Pyra said with a giggle.

Mythra sighed in defeat with a bright red face.

"Anyway so this deals on and I'm gonna win!" Mythra said as she stormed out of the room with a blush on her face.

"She's so not honest it's kind of cute." Pyra said to herself.

XXXXXXXXX

Rex and Zeke were now sitting on the edge of the Fief talking with each other. Pandy had already left, but not before planting a kiss on Zeke's cheek.

"Wow...I don't know what to say Rex." Zeke started. "I knew I had daddy issues, but this is above me."

"I know right?" Rex said with a sigh. "I finally found out about my father and apparently he wants to kill me. I know I shouldn't have taken it out on them, but I was just so angry at everything."

"That's understandable chap. Anger is a scary thing. However, you do need to make it up to them. Besides the banquet is tonight! So listen, put these thoughts out of your mind for tonight and have fun! You're young live your life to the fullest!" Zeke said as he stood up. "Tomorrow me and you can figure this all out and talk with Pyra and Mythra alright?"

Rex thought about it for a minute.

"Yeah...Yeah!" Rex said as he jumped up. "Thanks Zeke you gave me a ton of confidence. I'll focus on what's happening now now the future!"

"Now there's that optimism!" Zeke said striking a pose. "Let's go chum!"

The pair sprinted up the hill and toward the castle in order to reach the banquet in time.

XXXXXXXXX

Mythra and Pyra were now standing in front of the giant double doors they had just walked into.

"Holy sh-"

"Mythra!" Pyra shushed her sister as they walked in together. The entire room went silent as every eye was gazed upon the two stunning beauties.

"Is it just me or are we being watched?" Mythra whispered to Pyra and Pyra giggled.

"Let's look for Rex, kay?" Pyra said as they walked forward. Men came from left and right to try and talk to them, but Mythra shut them down one after another. Pyra felt bad, but was determined to find Rex.

XXXXXXXXX

"Uhhhh, Zeke I don't know about this anymore." There was more people here than Rex had ever seen before let alone in the same room.

"Ahh, come on chap! This will be fun!" Zeke stopped. "Rex, I think I found your girls…"

"What let me see?!" And oh boy did Rex see. Men were walking up to them left and right and specifically hotter dudes! A spike of jealousy kicked into Rex as he tap Zeke on the shoulder.

"I'm going in." Rex said with a stern voice as he walked off.

"Wha...What have I done?" Zeke said looking flabbergasted.

As soon as Rex began walking people started to realize who he was. He was the hero of Alrest how could they not?! Women and men began walking up to him with the women fawning over him in his suit he had changed into. (courtesy of Zeke) Rex had slicked back his unruly hair and put on a sleek black suit for the occasion.

Rex was being suffocated as the people around him began to converse with each other instead of him now. He began to stumble his way through the crowd eventually getting to the end and being pushed out. He was about to hit the ground when two pairs of arms caught him.

He looked up to see black and red side by side with even brighter smiles.

"Pyra! Mythra!" Rex said as he stood up.

Both looked scared as to what might happen, but Rex got the first word in.

"Listen, I know we have a lot to talk about, but right now I just want to say I'm sorry and that I know you guys did it for me and that I...that I...I-I-I…" Rex had just began to look them up and down. Pyra looked a mixture of cute and secy while Mythra pulled out all the stops. The legs, the waist, her breasts, and her hair all hit Rex right in multiple different spots as the blood began to flow to multiple different areas.

"Wow, you both look amazing!" Rex recollected himself and decided to just tell the girls later as both began to form tears in their eyes. Rex being the boy he was didn't know what to do at this point.

"Uhh..uhhh!" Thinking quickly Rex did what felt natural.

"Mmph!?" Mythra muffled.

"Mmph?!" Pyra followed suit.

Rex had kissed both of them on the spot to stop their crying. Both girls looked at him with wide eyes and blushes.

Soon what Rex had done began to set in to him.

"Wait...did I just?" Both girls shook their heads up and down.

Rex's face flushed and both girls bursted out into laughter.

"You're so immature Rex." Mythra said as she took his right arm.

"Well, I liked it." Pyra said as she took his left arm.

"So Rex, shall we dance?" Both girls said in unison.

"Uh..yeah. Yeah I'd like that." Rex said as he formed a L with his arms so his partners could get a better grip.

"Rex I must say you look quite handsome tonight. Your hair really fits." Pyra said as she nudged Mythra.

"Uh, yeah, you look really sex- I MEAN handsome!" Mythra said with a red face. She was still pretty bad at this.

Pyra and Rex both laughed.

"So ladies...may I have this dance?" Rex said as he got down on a knee and held out both hands to the girls.

"I'd love to, my prince." Pyra said as she giggled while Mythra mumbled yes under her embarrassment.

The trio began to dance with Mythra taking her turn first as Pyra went to get drinks for everyone.

"Mythra you look amazing tonight! I really love your hair." Rex said as the pair dance together. A slow song came on upon the moment as they slowly danced.

"Pervert...but thanks." Mythra said with a flustered face, but she smiled at him.

"I didn't know you could look this fancy, Rex." Mythra said.

"That makes two of us!" Rex said with a toothy grin.

Mythra had definitely noticed Rex's height change. Ever since the battle with Torna Rex had shot up in height. He was only a little taller than her and Pyra, but it was a much desired change. Mythra rested her head down on his shoulder as she scooted closer to him. She had never had something like this. This feeling of warmth soothed her and made her feel calm and at home. After about a minute of Rex holding her close she thought she was gonna fall asleep. Rex pulled her into a hug and whispered into her ear.

"I'm so glad you're back Mythra. I wouldn't be able to live without you or Pyra." Rex hugged her tighter as he said this.

"Rex... " Mythra looked up at the boy and looked into his hazel eyes.

The pair touched foreheads and continued to dance.

"Alrigth girly, your times up!" Pyra said as she suddenly reappeared. What had felt like a minute was really 4! The song had already changed and Mythra was snapped back into reality.

"Oh! Right sorry!" Mythra jumped back in embarrassment. "I'm gonna go to the bathroom real quick!"

Both Rex and Pyra giggled together.

"Shall we dance Prince Charming?" Pyra said seductively.

"Your wish is my command." Rex said with a grin.

The pair locked with each other and for a solid minute they were in heaven. The warmth of Rex mixed with the warmth of Pyra was putting them both to sleep.

"This is what I've wanted for so long…" Pyra mumbled into Rex's chest.

"Heh, you're telling me. After I thought I had lost you I didn't know what to do." Rex felt Pyra flinch as he said this.

"But Pyra, when you came back…" he hugged her tighter. "I was happier than ever." Pyra looked up.

"I want to return your feelings in the right way." Rex said. "Pyra, I love you and I-" Rex could barely get the last part out as Pyra threw her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately.

"I love you too." She cuddled up to Rex even more. The pair were in udder bliss. The song stopped and the lights slowly came on.

"Ladies and gentlemen may I have your attention! Our guests of honor have arrived tonight and our with us! The heroes of Alrest! Prince Zeke Von Genbu, our very own Morag Ladair, the Gormotti Nia, and finally the main hero…ACK" The butler suddenly stopped and blood spewed out of his mouth as a sword that looked similar to Pyra's pierced his stomach. The sword was retracted as a harsh cold befell the dance hall.

"Me." A harsh cold voice uddered one word, but struck fear into hundreds of people. A man the size of Wulfric appeared behind the butler and behind him were two blades Rex, Mythra, and Pyra knew well. Blanche smiled behind the man as Noir stared harshly upon the guests. As Rex looked at the man he felt something. Something in his mind and body clicked and he reached a conclusion that made him freeze in place. He began to shake as Mythra ran up to them.

"Pyra that's!" Mythra began, but was cut off by Rex.

"...my father…"

XXXXXXXXX

No love for Nia or Lapis?! What is wrong with me?! Don't worry I didn't forget! Again thanks for the patience and tolerance of my lazy ass. I love you all! Thanks guys!
