Roll 4: A Black Past

A small village in Kataryuko, mid afternoon…

The sun was shining in the sky of Kataryuko as a beautiful day was taking place in the world of fantasy, townspeople were out enjoying the peaceful and quiet day. Even Valanthe was simply enjoying it, so quiet and no Sebion in sight, it was nice and relaxing. It was strange to her, walking about without a care in the world. Acting like nothing was wrong and her past didn't matter. No one knew her and the people in the town were smiling at her and greeting her, it was almost pleasant.

She honestly couldn't remember how she got to Kataryuko that day or what she was supposed to be doing but she didn't mind, she was enjoying relaxing. Suddenly though things got colder, the sky darkened and people began to give her cold stares. She rolled her eyes at the people staring at her and one man even began to follow her as she walked the streets. Having had enough she turned towards the men, "What do you want!" The man continued to stare at her, "You thought you could come here and not be recognized? You will pay for your crimes."

Soon the one man turned into two, then 4 and soon it seemed like the entire town gathered in front of her. Some of them carried weapons, others had torches and some simply yelled at her. She had no choice, she needed to run and that's exactly what she did. She ran as fast as she could towards the exit of the town, she needed to get to the woods, she could disappear in the woods. Thankfully she was faster than those towns people and quickly out raced them though she could still hear their words, "Evil, heathen, just die, go back to the darkness." Their words didn't hurt, she had heard them all before. As she got to the exit of town she found an unusual sight, Yukishi and Yuto waiting for her, already changed into Questingers. She stopped and looked at them, "What are you two doing here? Did Remlin send you?"

Yukishi shook his head, "Nope Remlin doesn't know we're here." Yuto laughed in a way that was far more menacing than she thought he could ever do, "No we're her to take care of a monster." They began to approach her and Valanthe tried reaching for her changer but it wasn't on her wrist. Both of them took out their weapons as Yukishi taunted her, "Thought you could keep your past hidden huh?" Yuto began to prepare a spell, "She's nothing but a liar." Valanthe found there was no escape, this was it, this was how she was going to die.

Both of them launched their attacks at her and before Valanthe could feel them her eyes shot awake and she screamed. Her senses came to her as she remembered where she was, the small and run down apartment her and Remlin stayed in. She hadn't been in Kataryuko, it had all been a dream or rather a nightmare. Suddenly the lights turned on, shocking her and there was a concerned Remlin looking at her, "You screamed so I wanted to make sure you were alright." She sat up on the couch that was her makeshift bed, "Just a nightmare." Remlin looked at her in concern, "Well I'm up so you may as well tell me what happened."

Valanthe sighed, "I was in a town and everything was fine at first but then they all turned on me, they chased me and I ran into the others and they turned on me too. I woke up when they were about to kill me." Remlini nodded, "You still don't feel like you're free from your past, you think that once your friends know the truth, they would turn on you." Valanthe shook her head, "I believe it because it's true, if they found out the truth they'd turn on me."

Remlin glared at her, "You must not trust them very well. I know they would never turn on you, Yuto considers you a friend and Yukishi certainly doesn't hate you." Valanthe looked down at the floor unsure, "You don't know that for sure Remlin." Remlin shrugged, "Very well then, I do warn you though, you'll keep having these nightmares until you confront your past and tell others." With that he wished her a goodnight and Valanthe was left alone with her thoughts, her mind thinking of the uncertain future.

The dark castle, deep within Kataryuko…

Uvubras sat in his chair gathered around the generals table and casually sipped some wine from a nearby glass. Without missing a beat he called out into the darkness, "I know you're there human so show yourself." Grant Masters revealed himself from the shadows and smiled at the second in command of Sebion, "My my, you sure are a smart one dark elf." Uvubras glared at him, "What do you want, human, I don't appreciate being spied on."

Grant took a seat at the table across from him, "Vrefaris hinted that you seemed to have something planned for the Questingers, I'm here to offer my services." Uvubras stopped drinking his wine and looked at the human, "I suppose you could be of some use to me." Grant smiled at him, "Do tell me oh great elf, what do you have planned." Uvubras rolled his eyes, he saw through the humans smile, he wasn't trustworthy, "I have plans for the black one, and with luck I could turn her back to our side."

Grant raised an eyebrow, "Ah yes Valanthe Naïlo I was told she was once your protage." Uvubras nodded, "Remlin freed her from my grasp, but her trust in the other two Questingers is conflicted, she is scared of what may happen if they learn the truth of her. Mess with that and she'll come back to Sebion." Grant nodded, "Very well, what do you want from me?" Uvubras grins, "Create some distrust amongst them and then kill red and blue when black turns, I don't care how you do it, just make sure that it is strong enough to sever their trust." Grant nodded, "Very well, I can do that, in fact I'll throw in something they haven't dealt with before."

Uvubras continued to stare at him, "Yes, go do that and get out of my sight." Grant got up and bowed at him, "Of course oh great dark elf." Uvubras laughed amused, "Oh just go, remember human just because Vrefaris trusts you doesn't mean you have everyone fooled." Grant laughed, "Good, then you know that all I care about is creating chaos." He walked away laughing leaving Uvubras to continue drinking his wine, the fun was just about to begin.

Many years ago, Darkfang main city of Sebion…..

Everything was dark around her, she could hear people talking and what sounded like marching coming from far away. She struggled to open her, coming to what seems to be a medical room. There were beds everywhere, most were empty and the rest were filled with what appeared to be dark skinned goblins. Suddenly she heard a voice next to her, "Ah I see you're awake, how are you feeling?"

She turned over to see a dark elf with short white hair, save for a part in the front that was long and pushed to the side. She could barely find the words that she wanted to say, "Where am I?" The dark elf smiled at her, "You're in Darkfang, the capital city of Sebion." She wasn't sure what Sebion was, "What's Sebion and how did I get here?" The dark elf frowned, "The village I found you at was being attacked by some rather evil people, I found you badly injured and brought you here."

She nodded, "Who are you?" The dark elf smiled brightly at her, "My names Uvubras, I'm one of the generals for Sebion, we're a group that fights evil who invade towns and stop those who cause misery and destruction." She frowned, "I don't remember anything." Uvubras nodded, "Well is there anything you do remember? Like a name?" She nodded, "Valanthe, my name is Valanthe, I think." Uvubras held out a hand for her to shake, "Well Valanthe it's nice to meet you, thankfully you weren't injured too badly but you must've had some sort of trauma to cause you to lose your memories."

Valanthe wasn't sure what was going on but she felt safe in his presence, "What will happen now?" Uvubras scratched his chin thinking, "Well, you were the only survivor in the village, and we can't find your family anywhere around. What do you want to do?" At that moment there was only one thing she could think of, she didn't want anyone to end up like her, "I want to go with you, I want to join Sebion and save people."

Uvubras smiled, "Well then Valanthe how about you become my apprentice? I'll teach you how to become strong." She nodded at his suggestion, liking the idea of becoming an apprentice to the man who saved her. Ever since that day and the years to come she became his shadow, learning how to steal, fight and survive, but he never treated her as anymore than an apprentice.

*The Opening theme begins, Silhouette by Kana-Boon*

Instrumentals are heard as a guitar begins as several characters flash on the screen starting with Yukishi before going through several characters before the screen breaks revealing a book called The Legend of Kataryuko. The book opens showing several scenes like the armies of Sebion, the 6 heroes and finally the worlds splitting before the book gets halfway through and it reveals the logo Fantaji Sentai Questinger.

Tsukishima High School after school…..

It had been an interesting D&D session for the club that day, Grant Masters had once again put them into an interesting situation, to complete the quest required the three to have complete trust in one another. To Yukishi and Yuto that was easy, however Valanthe hesitated and because of that they had failed causing Yukishi to angrily confront her, "Alright I'm tired of this, you acting all sketchy and not trusting us, acting like there's some big secret, if you expect us to keep going you need to stop with this bullshit." Valanthe glared at Yukishi, "My life is none of your business and I don't have to tell you anything so I suggest you back off."

Yuto, ever the peacemaker, was trying to calm down his friend, "Yukishi, chill. She doesn't have to tell us anything she doesn't want to so just let it go." Grant unfortunately made things worse, "I don't know Yuto, if she can't even be honest in a simple game can you really trust her with anything?" Yukishi nodded, "I think Grant is onto something, you can't even pull that off then how can I trust you with my life." Valanthe continued to stare daggers at him, "Remlin is my father, so you have nothing to fear." Yukishi laughed, "Oh please, you aren't actually his daughter not even I'm that stupid, so how about you start being honest and tell us who you actually are."

Valanthe scoffed at him, "How about you stop being an idiot and I'll consider it." Yukishi let out a frustrated scream, "That's it I'm out of here." He shot up from his chair and stormed out of the room, Yuto hesitated for a moment before leaving to go make sure his best friend was ok. Shockingly Grant followed them out as well leaving an angry Valanthe and a quiet Remlin. Remlin looked at his adopted daughter, "You're going to have to tell them eventually before this situation becomes worse." Valanthe nodded, "I know, but you saw how he reacted, they won't take it well." Remlin sighed, "You can't run from this, it'll destroy on the inside if you do."

Valanthe nodded, "I know" She got up quietly and left the room, she needed some air to clear her head. Remlin sat in the empty classroom feeling disappointed, if his students didn't learn to trust each other then it would destroy them and then he feared what would become of Kataryuko without the Questingers.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

It had been a couple of hours since the argument and club meeting and after staying later to grade some papers, Remlin was finally leaving the school for the day. As he walked he saw some students from one of his classes going near an alleyway outside of the highschool. Deciding to investigate why the student was still at school, as he got closer he was about to call out to the student but suddenly the student was grabbed by a reptilian hand and pulled into the shadows. Remlin ran over and unfortunately found no trace of the student.

He cursed under his breath, the Questingers had gone home for the day so he'd have to wait till tomorrow to have them go investigate whatever was going on. For now he'd use some magic to find out if anyone else in the city had been taken by this beast from most likely Kataryuko.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Meanwhile on the other side of town, Valanthe had decided to take a walk to clear her head and while on the walk had seemed to have wandered into a more run down part of the town she'd never seen before. Even if it did seem to be a bit of a rough area it wasn't like she couldn't handle herself. The people she passed giving her strange looks and some men had made comments to her, she ignored it all and walked on. After all if she needed to kick someone's ass she would have no problem doing so. It was getting dark and she'd need to get home soon or else feel the wrath of Remlin who didn't like her coming home late.

As she turned around to walk home a young girl with black hair in a ponytail who couldn't have been older than 13 bumped into her. She glared at the girl, "Watch where you're walking." The girl smiled apologetically, "Sorry" The girl ran away and Valanthe stopped for a second, that was weird and if she didn't know any better that girl bumped into her on purpose. Stopping for a second she checked her pockets and confirmed her suspicions, the girl had pickpocketed her. She was almost impressed, almost, the girl stole something important and if it was simply just money she would've let her run off. After all, any skilled thief respects when even they get stolen from.

Turning around she ran in the direction the girl had run, determined to get what was stolen from her back. Meanwhile the girl had stepped down an alleyway to check what she had stolen from the high schooler, and much to her disappointment it seemed to just be a black dice from one of those stupid fantasy games nerds played. She had followed that high school girl for a while hoping she'd have something valuable but clearly all she did was waste her time. She frowned at the dice, "I was hoping for at least a couple of yen" She nearly threw the dice before she heard a voice from behind her, "I'm gonna need that back you little thief."

Turning around she found the girl who she had stolen from glaring at her, "Oh you found me." The high schooler walked up to her and snatched the dice from her hand, "Not bad for such a classic technique." The girl looked at her victim, "So you aren't mad that I stole from you?" The high schooler shrugged, "I'm more impressed that you managed to steal something from me." She then frowned at the girl, "Better think twice about stealing from me again though, I won't be as nice next time." The girl nodded, "Right I'm sorry." The high schooler shook her head, "Don't be sorry, next time just be better."

The girl nodded, "Uh right, I'm just gonna go then." The high schooler paused for a moment and sighed, "Hey kid, how about we go get some dinner, since clearly you were hoping for money." The girl eager at the suggestion nodded quickly, "Yes, thank you uh?" The high schooler smiled slightly, "You can call me Valanthe." The girl nodded, "Well thank you Valanthe, my name's Miki." Valanthe nodded, "Alright then Miki I'll let you choose the place, so lead the way." Valanthe began to follow Miki towards whatever place they'd be sharing a meal. The young teen reminded her of herself and she felt a small desire to help her, so hopefully she wouldn't one day get into trouble like she once did.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Kataryuko, many years ago…

It had been many years since she had been found Uvubras and now Valanthe Naïlo as she'd come to be called had finally become a full member of Sebion. She was still under the command of Uvubras but she'd become a skilled thief and fighter in her own right and had a reputation in the army of being Uvubras's apprentice. The only difficult part is that every time Sebion goes to defend a village from attack they always wait till the middle of the battle to actually send her into battle.

Uvubras always told her it was because it was the best time for rogue's like her to get the jump on the enemy, when they were already in the middle of battle and Valanthe knew it to be true as far as she knew. Still just once she wanted to be there for the beginning of the battle, just so she could possibly save the town because by the time she got into battle it was already half destroyed. Finally after waiting for so long she'd been notified that she was to join the battle. Using her skills it didn't take long for her to get to the battlefield and it certainly didn't take long for her to find enemies.

She never had trouble eliminating them as she had the best daggers Sebion could give her, courtesy of Uvubras himself. As she tried to end the battle quickly to stop the destruction she was suddenly blasted by a spell of light. She was knocked to her feet and struggled to get up, glaring at what had done it. A being in armor wielding a shield and sword, "What the hell are you?" The armored warrior laughed at her, "What's the matter Sebion scum, never seen a paladin?" She wasn't sure what a paladin was but she was sure of one thing, they were strong. She charged the paladin and despite using every trick in the book, she kept getting knocked back with a hit from his shield. She couldn't beat him as he pointed his sword at her, "You're young, so I'll allow you a chance to repent for your evil ways."

She glared at the helmeted man, "You're the one who's evil, I'm just here to save this town." Before he could respond his head was chopped off in a flash, as the body fell her savior was revealed to be Uvubras. He glared down at her, "Get up and go get healed, but know your performance today was pathetic." Valanthe weakly got up, "It wasn't my fault he got the jump on me." Uvubras slapped her nearly causing her to fall again, "You are my apprentice, if you were more skilled he wouldn't have gotten the drop on you." She glared at him, "Stop treating me like a weakling, I'm not a child anymore."

He scoffed at her, "Then stop being weak, now get first aid, this conversation is over." He walked away leaving her to roll her eyes, she thought she was a full member of the army but clearly she would never be until she managed to live up to his standards. As she walked back to camp for first aid she heard a voice behind her, "He's lying to you." She turned around with her daggers drawn. Now in front of her was a man with a black beard in a hood, "Who the hell are you?"

The man smiled, "Uvubras is using you Valanthe, Sebion is not what you think it is." Valanthe glared at him, "How do you know my name, and why should I believe you?" She held up her daggers at the man. The man shrugged, "Believe me or not but I've watched you for a long time Valanthe Naïlo, you're better than this, you're better than Sebion." She grew ready to charge him, "Sebion saved my life, they tried to save this town, they are good." The man nodded, "I see, well then next time you have a battle, defy your orders and see the truth." Before she could charge at him he disappeared in a flash, leaving a very confused but curious Valanthe behind. Uvubras couldn't be lying to her, he saved her life and gave her a home and a higher purpose. Could it have really all been a lie?

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Inside a fast food restaurant, Present day…..

Valanthe watched as Miki hungrily ate the food she had gotten her from the place she had decided she wanted food from. The restaurant she wanted, MgRonalds wasn't exactly her kind of place but the food was decent and the employee who'd helped them, Maou she was pretty sure his name was, was kind enough about her confusion when it came to fast food. She looked at the girl who had managed to eat her meal in less than a minute, "Do you live on the streets or something that you act like you haven't eaten in days?" She offered the girl the rest of her meal as Miki shook her head, "I live in a really rundown orphanage, they barely have enough food to feed everyone enough, so I skip meals to let the younger kids eat.

Besides I don't like the place anyway so I usually sneak out." Valanthe nodded, "Let me guess, you don't like being looked down on or accepting help from people so you leave to steal so you at least could feel like you did things yourself?" Miki blinked shocked at Valanthe's response, "How do you know that's exactly how I feel?" Valanthe sighed, "Because you and I are a lot more similar than you think." Miki scoffed at her, "Let me guess you're gonna tell me it gets better? To trust people and that they can help you, is that what you're gonna say?"

Valanthe shook her head, "I can't really tell you that because I'm still learning to trust people and learning to accept their help." Miki frowned at her, "Then what do you want with me then? What am I just a charity case that you can try and fix?" Valanthe shook her head, "I'm just trying to do the right thing, I see you heading down a path that I did and I feel like I should try and help you."

Miki began to get up from the table, "Well don't, if I want to steal and not accept help from others then I will, I don't need advice from a stranger who feels pity for me." She got up and walked out of the restaurant and as much as Valanthe wanted to chase after her, she couldn't. Miki wasn't wrong and Valanthe knew she had no right actually trying to help her.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The next day, the streets during the evening…..

After school Remlin had filled Yukishi and Yuto in on the situation and the two had gone out to investigate. As they scouted out the area where Remlin had seen the student taken, Yukishi let out a loud grunt, "Funny how Remlin didn't make Valanthe come with us." Yuto looked at Yukishi, "You kind of pissed her off majorly yesterday, so I doubt Remlin would want you two near each other, besides Remlin said she was busy with something and he couldn't contact her." Yukishi scratched his chin, "Gee that's convenient isn't it."

Yuto glared at his best friend, "will you just let this go?" Yukishi shook his head, "I'd love to, but even you can't deny she's hiding something." Yuto sighed, "Look you may be right, but you can't force it out of her, she'll tell us when she's ready." Before Yukishi could respond they heard a sound coming from the alleyway, both nodded at each other and ran towards the alleyway to see some kind of portal of darkness closing. Yuto began to dial some buttons on his changer, "We should call Remlin and let him know what's happening." Yukishi grabbed his best friend by the wrist, "No time for that, if we want to find those kidnapped people, it's best if we jump right in!"

Yukishi threw Yuto through the portal and quickly followed him. There was a brief falling sensation before the two landed on the ground hard. Yukishi got up and dusted himself off, "Ok so where are we?" Yuto got up and looked around, "Some kind of cave, a very dark cave." Suddenly Yukishi pointed towards something, "Yuto look! It's the people that were taken." The two ran up to the cages that contained about 10 people, however all the people seemed to be asleep. Yukishi sighed, "We need to free them." As they got started on the cages a mist of what seemed to be gas started to surround them, they moved out of the way as it barely missed them.

Yuto frowned, "Well there's the monster." However they couldn't see anything, nothing but darkness and cave walls. Yukishi growled in anger, "Dammit where the hell is it?" A voice seemed to answer him, "If you want to find a Troglodyte then you're going to be looking for a long time, they do after all like the darkness and can blend into surfaces." The two turned around to see a dark elf wearing fancy robes and light armor smiling at them. Yuto frowned, "Uh and you'd be?" The dark elf smiled, "Uvubras, second in command of Sebion and the master of the monster that you're looking for."

Yukishi got out his Questindice, "Yuto I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he's looking for a fight!" Uvubras put up his hands in defense, "No need for that, I do not wish to fight today." Yuto looked at him confused, "Then what do you want?" Uvubras smiled at them, "I just want to warn you QuestinBlue, about QuestinBlack." Yukishi raised an eyebrow, "What about her?" He smiled having seemingly gotten his attention, "Her name is Valanthe Naïlo. She was my apprentice, like a daughter to me and she was once a very loyal soldier of Sebion."

Not believing him, Yuto practically yelled at the dark elf, "You're lying, Valanthe would never…" Uvubras laughed, "Would never be part of Sebion? Oh please, everyone has secrets. Tell me, what has she told you? Her past?" Yuto went silent as Yukishi glared at him. Uvubras laughed, "Nothing? My what a shock!" Yukishi glares, more intensely than before, "Even if you are telling the truth, why would you tell us?" Uvubras shrugged, "I just wanted you to know before she destroyed you from inside, she has a way with doing that with people. Now, be gone and do bring her when you decide to come back." With a flick of his wrist a portal opened and transported them back to the real world. His plan was going perfectly, they'd turn on Valanthe and she would once again be under his thrall.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Meanwhile Valanthe was once again in the part of town she'd been in yesterday, hoping to find Miki again. She couldn't just give up on the girl, so she decided to head to the alley that Miki had fled to after stealing from her originally.

As she neared it she heard a scream causing her to begin to run, getting the alley she found a reptilian hand dragging Miki into a portal. Valanthe couldn't do anything to stop it and she felt helpless. Remlin had mentioned something like this earlier to her, so headed back to school in hopes he could help her find Miki.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Kataryuko, a small town about to be attacked by Sebion…..

Valanthe hadn't told Uvubras about her encounter with the hooded man, something in her gut told her not to. She wanted to believe that Sebion really was all that she thought it was. But something in her mind caused her doubt, the way Uvubras treated her sometimes, the way they never let her join a battle immediately. She needed answers so as soon as she heard that there was to be a battle she decided to join it. Uvubras didn't know she was here and she hadn't told him where she was going, she had traveled all knight to beat Sebion to the town in hopes of finding answers. She was startled though as an explosion of magic came from the town center, there were people panicking in the streets, children crying and mothers struggling to hide their children. However she was alarmed when she heard, "It's Sebion! They're here."

People were afraid, but why would they be afraid of Sebion. It seemed like an ordinary and quiet town. Deciding to go to the town center she found a horrifying sight, Sebion soldiers slaughtering people, not just the men, but the women and children too. Anyone who dared stand in the way or fight back, they all fell. They had lied to her, for so many years she had been told that Sebion was a good thing, that they helped people. But now she saw the darkness, what was really going on. She had been killing innocent people who were struggling to defend the towns Sebion invaded, she wasn't doing good, she was evil.

Not entirely wrapping her head around the situation Valanthe decided to run, she needed to get far away from here. Running was what she was good at, if she could run then she couldn't be found. So she'd run from Sebion, run from her problems and run from Uvubras. As she nearly got out of town, someone attacked her causing her to fall to the ground, "Going somewhere Valanthe?" Valanthe turned to see Uvubras, daggers drawn and ready to kill, "You've been lying to me, you've been having me kill innocent people."

Uvubras frowned, "They weren't innocent, they wouldn't bow down to Sebion, so we cull the ones that do not bow." Valanthe glared at him, "You used me, how much of that story was true?" Uvubras smiled, "Well I really did find you in the destroyed town, but I do have to confess that I saw potential in you, a potential that would one day exceed my own. I killed your parents and wiped your mind clean. It was perfect."

Valanthe began to back away in horror, "You took me from my family, turned me into a thief and made me commit acts of horror, you're a monster." Uvubras laughed, "Why thank you, I'll take that as a compliment." As he moved towards her to eliminate her, he found a barrier between the two of them, "Sorry Uvubras I can't allow you to kill her." Uvubras narrowed his eyes in anger, "Remlin, I should've known her enlightenment was your doing."

Remlin smiled at him, "This girl has potential so I couldn't just stand by watching you manipulate her. " Before Uvubras could strike the barrier Remlin cast a spell and he and Valanthe disappeared causing Uvubras to scream in anger. Remlin teleported them to a safe location as Valanthe struggled to her feet, "Thank you, Remlin I think? But you should've just let me die." Remlin shook his head, "You don't deserve to die, now come we must be going." Valanthe shook her head, "No, I can't possibly go with you, I'm not a good person."

Remlin frowned at her, "I see potential in you Valanthe and I can offer you redemption, you aren't evil." Valanthe frowned, feeling tears coming to her eyes, "I don't deserve redemption." As she felt the tears running down her face, she felt warm arms wrap around her. Remlin was hugging her, "Everyone deserves redemption, now it's up to you to want to do the right thing."

Valanthe continued to look down, "You really believe that?" Remlin nodded, "An old friend of mine once told me that, he was a bit of an idiot but he was a true hero and if he believed it then so do I." Valanthe nodded, "Ok, please Remlin help me find redemption." Remlin smiled at her, "Oh don't worry my dear it won't be too hard." He stopped hugging her and after a moment of silence began to walk on, from that day forward Valanthe began to walk the path of redemption.

Tsukishima High School, night time…

Valanthe ran into the classroom, eager to find Remlin, "Remlin we got trouble now!" Valanthe stopped and looked up to see Yukishi and Yuto sitting at the desks frowning as Remlin cleared his throat, "Yes we know the current situation." Valanthe nodded, "Well we need to do something." Yukishi stood up and got face to face with her, "Funny you'd show up Valanthe, we were just talking about you." Valanthe looked at him, "What the hell are you on about, idiot?" Yukishi glared at her, "We investigated the kidnappings, and we met your friend Uvubras, or should we call him your master."

All the color drained from Valanthe's face, "You met Uvubras?" Yuto who had been silent spoke up for the first time, "Is it true Valanthe? Were you his apprentice? Were you his adopted daughter." Valanthe was silent as Yukishi let out the anger he'd been holding in, "ANSWER THE QUESTION!" Valanthe frowned, "I was his apprentice but that man is no father figure to me." Yukishi punched the wall next to her in anger, "So it's true you were a member of Sebion, how do we know you still aren't."

Valanthe stepped away from him, "Uvubras murdered my family and erased my memories. He tricked me into serving Sebion and tried to kill me when I learned the truth, I have no allegiance to them." Yukishi scoffed, "Now why don't I believe you?" Before Valanthe could respond Yuto interrupted his best friend, "Back off Yukishi, I believe her." Yukishi looked at his best friend, "You're siding with her?" Yuto nodded, "I am, her actions have never given me any reason to distrust her, Valanthe may be rough around the edges but she's a Questinger and my friend."

Valanthe smiled weakly at Yuto, "Thank you, I'm sorry I wasn't honest about my past, It's still hard for me to come to terms with it, but I promise you I am trying everyday to become a better person." Yukishi folded his arms and sighed, "Fine, I believe you but no more lies, no more deceit, I don't trust you fully but I'm willing to look past this, after all someone once told me it's not the past that shows who you are, it's your actions." He stuck out his hand towards Valanthe, she hesitated taking it before looking at Yuto who urged her to shake it, "I don't deserve forgiveness or even your trust right now, but thank you for giving me another chance."

Seeing the exchange Remlin cleared his throat, "Right now that we got that out of the way, I have a theory on why Uvubras shared this information with Yukishi and Yuto in the first place." Valanthe nodded, "If I had to guess it's because he's hoping you all reject me and I come crawling back to him." Remlin nodded, "Exactly" Valanthe smiled, "So why don't we give him that?"

Yukishi raised an eyebrow, "Uh what now?" Valanthe nodded, "I have a plan but I need you two to trust me." Yuto nodded, "Whatever it is I'm willing to help." Yukishi frowned, "I think I can guess what you're thinking. I don't like it but let's do it." Valanthe smiled, if Uvubras wanted her to come crawling back then they'll give him just that, but they may end up making him regret it.

Uvubras stood outside the cave where the people had been held. They had been moved outside since it was now night and soon they'd be transported to Darkfang for various purposes. The Troglodyte sat next to him clearly waiting for something, which thankfully it did because walking up to them was Vanlanthe with a captured Yukishi and Yuto. Uvubras smiled at her, "Hello Valanthe! How's my favorite underling?" Valanthe bowed before him, "Uvubras, I apologize for fleeing Sebion. I wasn't accepted as a Questinger so now, I bring them to you in hopes you'll accept me back. Yukishi struggled in his binding, "Valanthe how are you betray us like this!" Yuto merely frowned, "I trusted you."

Valanthe kicked Yukishi in the leg causing him to fall, "Clearly you were wrong too." Uvubras smiled, "So what do you want Valanthe?" Valanthe looked at the cages of people, all sleeping and smiled when she spotted Miki, "I'll give you these two and in return you allow me back into Sebion and let those people go." The Troglodyte growled at her before Uvubras raised a hand at it, "Hmmm that's a big request."

Valanthe nodded, "Well the Questinger's are a big capture, I'm sure Vrefaris would reward you well for their execution." Uvubras nodded, "Hmmm that is true, very well." He snapped and a portal appeared causing everyone in the cages to disappear, "They've all been returned to the human world with no memory of being taken, now for you end of the bargain." Valanthe smiled at him, "Yeah about that, you shouldn't have taught me to lie so well." Yukishi and Yuto got up revealing the bindings were fake as

Uvubras frowned, "I'm almost impressed that you managed to trick me, no matter I'll just have to teach you a new lesson." Yukishi rubbed his leg slightly, "Was the kick really necessary." Valanthe nodded, "The kick was what sold it, now come on let's finish this." The two nodded as all three brought up their changers, "QUESTINCHANGER" The three inserted their dice into it.

"D20"

"ROGUE"

"FIGHTER"

"WIZARD"

The standby music began to play as all three brought the changer up and they announced together, "QUESTINCHANGE" Lights of black, red and blue colored the night as the Troglodyte recoiled from it.

Dive in! Lurking in the shadows! (Questinranger!) Rogue Classssss!

Dive in! Fight for glory! (Questinranger!) Fighter Classssss!

Dive in! Knowledge is power! (Questinranger!) Wizard Classssss!

The Questingers emerged into the night and began their roles call, "The Sly Rogue, QuestinBlack." Yukishi posed next, "The Brave Fighter, QuestinRed." Finally Yuto joined them in posing, "The Intelligent Wizard, QuestinBlue." The three posed in with Black in the middle, "The legendary heroes who'll save the world one roll at a time, FANTAJI SENTAI QUESTINGER." Black summoned her GearDaggers and pointed them at Uvubras, "Now let's begin the quest." The Troglodyte charged at them and Red summoned his GearSword and blocked it with his sword landing in his mouth, "Valanthe we'll hold this guy off, deal with Uvubras."

QuestinBlack nodded as Red and Blue began to fight the Troglodyte. QuestinBlack charged at Uvubras who took out his daggers and clashed with her. He smiled sinisterly at her, "Let's see how much you've improved under Remlin!" Meanwhile Red and Blue were having trouble fighting the Troglodyte, it kept either blending into the shadows or using it's chameleon abilities to hide from them. QuestinRed grunted in annoyance, "Yuto got any spells to defeat this thing?" QuestinBlue nodded, "I got something that can at least make it so he couldn't hide anymore but you'll have to deal with him after that."

Red nodded, "Then do it." Blue nodded and pressed the dice on his changer, "D5, Magic" His GearStaff began to glow, "Light!" Light began to shine out of his staff illuminating the area as well as exposing the Troglodyte who now recoiled at the bright light. Red ran up to him, "Got ya now." He slashed at the monster a few times with his sword before pressing the dice on his changer, "D6, ChargePunch, D7, ChargeKick" He delivered an energy charged punch and kick causing the monster to stumble backwards, "Time to finish this." He inserted his dice into his GearSword, "FIGHTER: CRITICAL BLOW" The energy attack landed and caused the Troglodyte to fall defeated. Blue finished the light spell and rejoined red, "C'mon let's go help Valanthe." Meanwhile the fight between QuestinBlack and Uvubras wasn't going as well for Valanthe, she may have gotten stronger but Uvubras was still superior as he practically ran circles around her, slashing at her and causing her to be knocked back.

Soon Red and Blue came to join her as Red declared their victory, "The reptile is dead so guess that just leaves you." Uvubras laughed, "Take your best shot Questingers." The three Questingers tapped their changers, "D2, CRITICAL TEAM STRIKE'' Charging up their weapons Blue shot a bolt of energy at Uvubras as Red sent out an energy slash as Black joined him with two of her own, combining with his and hitting Uvubras causing a massive explosion. Unfortunately for them as the smoke cleared Uvubras didn't have a scratch on him who simply laughed at them, "I didn't get to be second in command of Sebion by being easy to defeat." They braced themselves for an attack but it never came, "I'll let you live today, but I will leave a parting gift." He used a spell and the defeated Troglodyte rose even taller than before.

Valanthe wanted to go after Uvubras but knew there would be another day, "C'mon let's do this." All three tapped their dice in, "D15, Summon figures." The three figures appeared and the Questingers jumped into them getting settled in. Red was about to initiate the combination before Black stopped them, "Wait you idiot, let me do it." Red shrugged, "Sure why not, you need a win anyway." All three pushed in their dice, "D16, Figures Combine." Black pushed in the dice again, "D17, Black center" The figures combined with Black being the center, Red becoming the arms and Blue being the legs. The three appeared in the cockpit and announced, "Gattai Complete! Awaken QuestinOh! Black Initiative!" QuestinOh summoned it's new weapons, "QuestinDaggers"

The Troglodyte charged at them and like on the ground used the darkness of night to its advantage to attack them. Though thankfully the black initiative enabled them to dodge easier, though it soon became a game of both fighters dodging attacks. Red however thought of something, "Yuto try that spell again." Blue nodded, "Right, D18, Dancing Lights." Soon light swirled around them not only blinding the Troglodyte but creating a light based copy of QuestinOh, using this to their advantage the real QuestinOh decided to hide in the shadows, while the Troglodyte approached the copy. As it attacked the copy, blinding light burst forth causing it to be immobilized.

Taking advantage, QuestinOh readied the final strike, "D19, QuestinOh: Final Strike" QuestinOh lept out of the shadows and hit the monster with two dark energy slashes before delivering a final one causing it to be defeated. The Questingers were once again victorious as Black exclaimed, "Quest Complete" As QuestinOh powered down victorious.

The human world, later that night…

It was a little late and despite that Valanthe insisted on celebrating their victory, so she took them to MgRonalds for dinner. Yuto was busy laughing at Yukishi, "Yukishi why did you get a salad of all things." Yukishi frowned at him, "Because I'm an athlete and I care about my body, fast food is disgusting." Meanwhile Valanthe had gone and found Miki and offered to treat her to another meal. The two had been in the middle of talking, "Valanthe, I'm sorry for freaking out at you, you were just offering me kindness when you had no business doing so."

Valanthe sighed, "Miki when I was your age, I was like you an orphan who thought they had to steal to survive, and it led me down a path I'm not proud of and I still haven't forgiven myself for, so when I saw that you reminded me of myself I knew I had to help you." Miki smiled, "Well I suppose you are pretty cool, and I wouldn't mind having a big sister so I guess I don't mind you trying to help me out." Valanthe went red in the face over Miki calling her a big sister, and unfortunately for her Yukishi had heard it, "Awww look at Valanthe's frozen heart melting, she's such a good big sister"

Valanthe stared daggers at him, "Oh shut up you idiot, we're trying to have a conversation over here." Yukishi continued to laugh, "Yeah and it was making you redder than a tomato." The two began to argue as Miki watched confused and turned to Yuto, "Do they do this a lot?" Yuto nodded, "Like an old married couple, honestly they just need to kiss at this point." Miki began to laugh at his remark causing Yuto to join, it may have been a difficult night but at least it was ending on a somewhat peaceful one.
