'What the...? Who the...? How the...?' the three of them retorted at eachother, in confusion.
'Uhh, my friggin' head, and, oh, no, no, please! My new sword!' remarked Karko,
briefly observing his broadsword, which was all intact.
'What about the guards? I'm prepared to fight to death, you two, three? No two, get out of here,' said Kira sharply.
'Ow, something sharp is jabbing my back..argh!'
'Oh sorry, that's my sai,'
'Guards coming,'
'You know-,'
'Guards coming! That's it, you two, go to Area 327 and go to Seventeenth Street, it's my abandoned hideout, now!' ordered Karko and clenched his sword tightly,
'Go! I'll hold them off!'
guards ran up to Karko with swords and Mithril Armour,
'Oh damn, Mithril. This could be bad,' Karko told Dwyer and Kira.
Karko slashed numerous times at the armour, each dealing only a 'one' above their heads, then they charged at him and each of them managed to hit a '500'. Karko fell to the ground, bleeding out of cuts on his arms and torso. He drank a 'high-potion' and fled the battle, since when do 329 guards wear Mithril? Karko thought as he ran to the Area 328 station and boarded the rocket to Area 327.
He tricked the cashier by showing twenty gil, then he took away ten gil as he boarded the rocket, he strapped on the four seat belts and waited for countdown, five, four, three, two, one, liftoff! the automatic voice speaker announced. The rocket started up and the booster rockets switched on. He flew up to orbit, the rocket engine turned off and the rocket was now plunging into the atmosphere towards Area 327 station and within seconds, he was in Area 327 station.
He got off the rocket, feeling light-headed and dizzy, side-effects of the rocketship. He left the station and walked past Sixteenth Street before jogging up Seventeenth Street into the cul-de-sac. He headed up the steps and knocked three times on the hard-oak door which in the centre, was engraved in gold, was two lions making the shape of seventeen. In no time Dwyer answered the door along with Kira,
'Been waiting long?' asked Karko
'No...err we just got here,' answered Dwyer
'Well, I suggest we sit down at the table and sort this all out, we'll need to rest too,' suggested Kira.
They sat at the table and they told eachother their names, where they came from, their past, and why they met up in the first place. Karko is an assassin, who was hired by multiple clients for reasonable amounts of gil. Dwyer, was a black mage, who wants to know who pranked him and kill the pranker. Kira, is a ninja who was imprisoned for being a conspirator and was behind a series of kidnappings.
Dwyer was freezing fire, when the house was raided by guards with Mithril Armour and Lionheart Gunblades.
'Queen Fierra the second demands an audience with Dwyer Redfire, Kira Miles, and Karko Supree. The three of you will be rocketed by her royal highness's personal rocket and be under the heaviest security we have, do the three of you accept Lady Fierra's terms?' the captain asked the three curiously.
Dwyer was silent, Kira was suspicous, Karko nodded at the two and they nodded back,
'We'll go, but, err...nothing,' Karko said.
The three were escorted to the rocket, which they boarded and flew off to Queen Fierra's reinforced castle. They disembarked off the rocket and onto the marble staircase. They climbed a variety of stairs before emerging into a crystal hallway. 'Don't touch anything, when we reach the door I cannot take you any further,' the captain told them. They descended down a flight of stairs and emerged to an arched doorway made of Onyx and guarded by Mithril Guards. They approached the door and opened it and closed it behind them, dust immediately covered them. Kira brushed it away from her face, the Queen's throne stood ahead of them, 'Welcome,' the queen said spontaneously.
