The next day the group got ready to leave, when they heard something downstairs. They decided to listen in on what was happening.

Two boys, about Hero's age were there. Both wore school uniforms. One looked very nervous.

"Dude, we committed murder! Not just that, REGICIDE! How are you not freaking out?!"

"We didn't kill him, the sun did. You did go back to make sure he was dead, right?'

"..."

"Right?!"

"Uhh…"

The second boy looked terrified; he grabbed the other and shook him.

"He could still be alive! And if he is and the Headmistress finds out… we'll be sent to the discipline room!"

Now both were terrified.

"I can't go back man, I can't go back!"

It was then that the duo noticed our heroes. Sweat fell down their foreheads.

"How much did you hear?" One asked.

"Enough to know you tried to kill one of the princes to avoid detention!" Ritiro yelled.

"Hey, isn't that him behind you?!" Both kids drew knives.

"We'll just have to finish the job.

A battle began. Kel was pretty happy, Vance was sad, and Ritiro was angry.

The schoolboy attacked Kel. Ritiro hit the schoolboy with her bat. Basil made herbal tea and healed Kel. Kel threw his bowling ball at the schoolboy. The other schoolboy attacked Kel, but missed. Kim punches, followed up with Vance also punching the schoolboy.

The boys collapsed. Ritiro learned a new move.

"We should get going, before more come." Basil said.

"But how? The whole Capital is probably filled with them?" Kel asked.

"We just beat 'em up till we get there!" Kim said.

"I like the way you think!" Ritiro said.

And so, the gang traveled to the capital, beating up students who dared to stop them, learning new skills along the way. Eventually, they made it to the capital and they raced to the throne room.

Inside was the king and queen on their thrones. Along with that, was Hero, who was absolutely terrified! A woman with four arms and four legs held him.

"Well now, I can't wait for you to join my school. I'm sure we'll have fun together. " the creepy spider lady said to the terrified boy. Hero was practically in tears.

Kel busted open the doors.

"YOU! YOU TRIED TO HAVE ME KILLED!" He yelled, pointing at her, "let my brother go!"

The king and queen looked shocked. Hero kept whispering "no" to himself.

"Oh, he's making things up. Isn't that right?" The woman said, looking at the king and queen. Her eyes glowed red, then so did the monarchs.

"Kel! Apologize to Arachne!" The king demanded. Arachne smirked.

"Your highness, we're witnesses. Prince Kel was found tied up in the desert, almost dead!" Basil said. Arachne again turned to the monarchs with glowing red eyes.

"ENOUGH! KEL APOLOGIZE! Your brother is about to leave, if you don't apologize, you won't see him off!"

Hero, who up until this point was too terrified to speak, spoke up, "I DON'T WANT TO GO! KEL-" He was silenced by Arachne.

"Hey! You have one of the blacked out photos of Queen Mari!" Ritiro yelled.

"Oh, you want this?" Arachne said, taking out a photo. It was of Hero and Mari holding hands at a sunset. Hero was smiling, but Mari was blacked out.

"YES!" Ritiro yelled.

"Hmm… no. Your majesties, these children want to steal from me!" "Guards!" The king yelled. Elite guards appeared and surrounded the group.

"I'll see you later~" Arachne said, dragging Hero with her.

All he could manage was a muffled "help me" before being dragged away.

"NO!" Kel and Ritiro screamed.

"It seems the young Prince is with a bad crowd. We'll stop them!" The guards said. Then, they attacked!

The first guard stabbed Basil with a spear. Basil created Vines that attacked the guard. Another guard hit Vance, but due to him being sad, it didn't do much damage. Ritiro readied her bat and charged forward, hitting one guard right in the heart! But it didn't do all that much damage…

Kim and Vance attacked together. Ritiro then had an idea. As Kel rammed a bowling ball into a guard, she yelled to him.

"Kel! Annoy the guards!"

"What?!"

"Just do it"

So Kel started repeatedly saying "Hey!" Which annoyed the guard, making him angry. Basil healed himself, while the other guards attacked. Kel dodged and hit the angry guard, doing a lot of damage. Kim was hit in the face, Vance was knocked to the ground, Ritiro was thrown against the wall, and Basil punched in the stomach.

Ritiro thought. This Spider was taking Hero to do who knows what, and had a photo. If they couldn't get past the guards, they couldn't save Hero, they couldn't save Mari and they definitely couldn't save Sunny! The very thought of that made Ritiro Enraged. Despite her injuries, she went up and smashed the helmet of one of the guards! Her teammates followed suit except Basil, who healed everyone. But their attacks were no match for the guards. Again, they were nearly defeated. She was going to lose everyone else! She couldn't! She wouldn't! Ritiro became FURIOUS!

She hit a guard so hard, he stumbled back and fell down a staircase!

The battle continued! Even though the group was seemingly outmatched, they persisted. Eventually, when all hope seemed lost, Ritiro called everyone together.

"We…we have one…one shot," Ritiro said, grabbing her bat.

"COMBINATION ATTACK!"

Kel threw his bowling ball, hitting all the guards. Basil summoned hundreds of Vines which constricted the guards. Kim and Vance beat the crap out of each guard before Ritiro came and delivered the final blow with her bat, ending the battle.

The team was exhausted. The king and queen noticed.

"What have we done..?" They said.

Arachne already made her escape.

"Your majesty. Do you maybe know where Arachne went?" Basil asked.

"Yes, Arachne's school for boys. It's a boarding school, but it's horrible. Do one thing wrong and you're sent to the discipline room. It's a torture room, filled with all sorts of tools for inflicting pain. And we… we let her take…" The king and queen started to cry. Kel ran up and hugged them.

"It wasn't your fault. She used mind control. Don't worry, we'll get him back." Kel said.

Ritiro was glad she had these allies. She would save one of her friends, and be one step closer to saving Mari and Sunny. But first, she passed out
