Chapter 4

The group was in Durandal's house, nearby the Windian castle wall. Rei asked, "I know I picked a lot of locks to get out, but how did everyone else get out?" There was a short silence before someone said something.

"I blasted the door of its hinges, and then I escaped using the secret passages that Ryu used when he escaped all those years ago," said Momo.

Ryu said, "I did something similar with the door, but I snuck down to the transporter under the kitchen."

Peco said something that sounded like pikyu, pikyu. Momo then said, "I didn't know you could do that with hollandaise sauce, well, live and learn." Then they noticed another presence in the house, and it wasn't a confused owner. Blaze was waiting for the group to reappear.

Momo said, "You've got some nerve coming here after you betrayed us. I will take you down for that." She pulled out her bazooka and started to take aim when Rei stopped her.

He said, "He did not betray us, the king betrayed us. We weren't supposed to even be jailed. I know this, because Blaze told me about the agreement long before we defeated Myria. We have been in contact for the past 4 months. I am one of the New Guardians." There was a stunned silence. At that point, Durandal decided to return home and was justifiably surprised to see a group of people inside his house.

"Why are you in my house at this hour?" asked the confused homeowner, very nervously.

Blaze simply responded, "We're leaving," then to the party he said, "Let's find the king. I think he's hidden in a closet on the first floor of the castle." With that, the party went to the castle via the transporter.
