Shyguy and Cash were devastated when they arrived at the City. A civil war still rages, even after the disappearance of Skullton. Halting it was impossible no one would listen. All they could hear is the speeches of the leaders, commanding them to kill.

The two reformed pirates have hid themselves as monks neutral in any conflict. They preach that killing is no solution and warn them of an attack by the Black Knights. They also tell of an evil man who looked like Skullton, acted like Skullton, but is not Skullton. These predictions were considered folly, and most went on their way fighting the enemy.

"Could Obscleam be right?" Shyguy asked one night.

"No, he can't be." Cash chuckled. "If he is right, then maybe he is right for other stuff too."

"Yeah, I know," Shyguy fidgets. "However, no one listen to our calling to the truth. They worry more about their tribe than their country."

"They're going to get killed, and we can't stop it!" Cash cried.

Shyguy cry. "When will they learn to live together in peace?"

"I don't know..."Cash sigh. "I really don't know."

Suddenly, a messenger ran into the temple, screaming, "The war is over! Raven has destroyed the evil Dead! We shall triumph against the Black Knights!"

"But, messenger, the army is weak after the struggle, how can you manage to fight the Knights now?" Shyguy asked.

"We just did! Raven has uncovered an evil scheme that he stopped! The Dead Empire was allied with the Black Knights!" The messenger cheered.

Cash stared at the messenger. "What do you mean? I've known the Dead all my life. They want to get rid of the Knights as well. They really want to!"

"Liars! The Dead were working with the Black Knights and that's that! Our general is wise, wiser than you!" The messenger scoffed at them.

"Do you know how the war started?" Shyguy asked. "It was over a silly talisman!"

"Over a silly talisman?" The messenger laughed softly. "The talisman, if held by evil, will destroy all of good! Raven didn't fall for Skullton's tricks, and saved us all by war!"

" Raven is a-" Shyguy turned his back to the messenger and walked to the altar. "You can go now." The messenger stared and then ran his way to the next stop.

Cash went to the altar, and sat down next to Shyguy. "Why did we join Obscleam's army? If we stayed and defended the homeland, none of this would of happened. We would still be living in the Golden Age of Alizia, with peace forever. We had the skills, but we joined! It is our fault!" Cash kicked the altar and stamped his feet.

"Yeah, I remember the Golden Age." Shyguy cried on top of the altar. "But why we left it? Left it all to join a evil fool?" ***************** Cash stood in the town center of Ikana Castle. Today was very important. He was to make a speech to tell the citizens of Alizia about the bounding of the 2 great powers, the Hyilan Powers, and the Dead Empire. They have been exchanging dialogue with each other for one year now, and they formally signing a peace treaty.

"The treaty will forever be etched in stone, never to be broken, never to be left behind. We shall help them in times of trouble, and they shall help us in times of danger. Our fellow family and friends shall no longer die, or cry over their lost ones. We are brining in a new era, as we will now use resources to help the citizens. Education will be a top in the future, gold will be plentiful, and you'll be powerful. No more wars will ever happen in Alizia, never." **************** "If we never left Alizia, none of this would happen." Cash cried.

"But we did!" Shyguy sobbed some more.

"No use crying, what's done is done." Cash stood up. "You know, we can right the wrong we just done."

"We can?" Shyguy gasped. "But how?"

"By going and killing Obscleam! Once he dies, the Black Knights will fall! We will be victorious!" Cash rushed to the entrance.

"Wait for me!" Shyguy followed.

Outside the entrance of the temple, Shyguy and Cash were surprised to find Obscleam and the Hyilans, led by Raven in the nearby courtyard.

"Oh no! Obscleam, he's here! The general!" Cash whips out an old cutlass. "If we sneak up and kill the Tyrant of Alizia, the war will be won!"

"So, if it isn't Raven, my long-time foe?" Obscleam circled Raven with a pistol dangling from his finger. "I must say, I am impressed with your powers to control Alizia during your rule. Now, times changed. I have the power."

"Obscleam, we kicked your allies, now we'll kick you!" One soldier yelled.

"Allies?" Obscleam was taken aback. "I never take allies."

"Well, you do. We know it. We got rid of them, like how we are going to get rid of you!" Raven smiled. "Surrender now. You know my skills at leading."

"Attack!" Shyguy and Cash yelled. They charged at Obscleam, with the intent of killing him. They rushed onto him, pounding and kicking their former leader, shouting curses and injuring him.

"Go on, and show them revenge!" Raven cheered. "The punishment they're dealing you will make you wish you're dead."

"I've been wishing to die ever since the loss of my best men." Obscleam said as the two monks beat up him. "They never listened to me. They won't listen to me now when they find out that I'm sorry."

"Sorry? You destroyed the homes, and kicked us out! This is revenge!" Cash screamed as he punched Obscleam.

"I'm sorry I went through the mess. I was evil, really. Fame got through my head, illusions. I'm sorry for all I did. But, my surrender means nothing! I left the Dark Knights already!!"

Shyguy and Cash stopped attacking, and stepped back. "You left?"

"I resigned from my top post and become a monk in this area. Please forgive me." Obscleam stood up.

"No." Raven laugh. "Execute him, monks!"

Shyguy and Cash stood up, and stared at Obscleam strangely. "Why?" they asked together.

"I did it to run away from what I caused." Obscleam smile. "I have to go preach to the people the truth, not these lies!" He started to head towards the temple.

"What? You call me a liar?" Raven rushed and stopped Obscleam. "That deserves death! I'll kill you with my cutlass!" Raven lashed out the sword. "Death to thee!"

"No!" Cash rushed to protect Obscleam. "Don't kill him! He's good! Can't you let bygones be bygones?"

"NO! I know him better than you!" Raven shouts. "Treachery will not go unpunished!"

"You don't have to kill me!" Obscleam screamed. "I can give you information about the Dark Knights, and then you can go and punish me however you wish!"

Raven laugh. "I know your lies. Killing you will put you out of my misery. Besides, you should be punished after what you done." Raven pushed Obscleam to the ground, and raised his cutlass. Shyguy screams.
