Eli and I were at the front gate of Scrarfaux's castle, surrounded by guards. I had my swords in hand, and Eli had her fists.

"Okay men, get ready!" One guard said.

"They don't stand a chance!" Said another, those were his final words. Eli shoved her boot blade through his gut. She ripped the knife up and out of his head. Tearing half of his body. Another one charged for her in a spite of vengeance, only so he could meet his bloody fate too. A third, really pissed off one jumped at her, I aimed my sword for his neck. I let Sir Isaac Newton do the rest. I stabbed the forth through the heart, dragged my weapon through and into his neck, and pulled my blade out without damaging his face. The last quivered, a grueling demise would follow him.

Eli and I walked into the castle. It had changed since last time… it was shaped more like a tower now. There was a long hallway that led into the stairwell, the whole area was empty. We continued slowly, it was quiet… In the center of the stairwell, a figure seemingly faded in. It was a very familiar figure. They stood there with a look in their eye, they wanted to kill me. I almost puked of the shock. They raised their blade, and waited for me. I knew what happened, probably the most obvious thing. But I couldn't believe I would have to fight them. She was brain washed, and or hypnotized. I stared at Lena, she stared at me.

I knew how to deal with this; I have dealt with it before. There is a place on the back of a person's head, if you hit it in the right angle, and a correct amount of force, they will be knocked out and returned to normal. I just didn't want to hurt her. A sudden wave of anger arose inside me, Scrarfaux did this. Scrarfaux would die today!

Lili woke up, Gary was still on the floor, and Calico captured Averia again. The guards had been killed. Calico had a knife through his stomach.

"How do you do that?" Averia asked Calico. "How is it possible for you to get injured, and still get me?" Calico started laughing.

"Old family trade, my father taught me how to capture people." Calico started thinking back, when he used to be in the slave trade. Then he met me.

"Lucky for me, not many survive getting stabbed by my poison knife!"

"Lucky for me, before my father died, we spent three years building up resistance to poison."

"Lucky for me, you will bleed to death!"

"Lucky for me, Gary can make a potion to heal me!"

"Lucky for me… I… I… ah shit…" Averia drooped down a little. "I shouldn't have taken this job… I could have been an artist, or a doctor, or a fire fighter!"

"A what? The hell is a Fire Fighter?" Spira didn't have fire fighters.

"Hell if I know…"

I walked towards Lena, I was going to try and keep from a big battle. She stared at me as I had walked. I looked her straight in the eye. I reached behind her head, it all was going good. Suddenly she swung her sword; I took my swords and reflected it. I grabbed her hand trying to pry away the sword. Our faces were inches away; we starred at each other some more.

"Don't make me do this, Lena." She didn't reply to me.

"She's gonna need more than that." Eli said.

Gary got up slowly with help from Lili. Calico carried Averia, with her tied up this time. They continued for the castle. The trip would last the rest of the day.

I was able to take the sword from her, I threw it behind me. She tried to hit me, I grabbed her fist. She tried to hit me with her left hand; I just moved my face out of the way.

"I'm sorry…" I teleported behind her, and pinpointed the spot, and struck.

"I'm sorry you had to do that, Cepter. But we can't stand around a mop. It's not like she's dead."

"Eli. Scrarfaux dies tonight. Regardless."
