Rising of the Avenging Heroes

ESKK: Well new chapter let's begin folks.

(Start Avengers Forest)

The Avengers had been doing a great number of jobs lately while Morgan was on bed rest. Due to the nature of the curse Morgan was working endlessly trying to rig up a bypass via her armor. The Curse weakens those afflicted by it from what James could see so Morgan in turn was utilizing her armor to act as a way to balance it out. Since her Iron-Heart armor was basically a prosthetic that increases her endurance and amplifies her effort. Thankfully she wasn't her father who needed an Arc Reactor in his chest to stay alive but still the Curse did have its problems.

Hawkeye on the other hand made a full recovery and was once more being Barton. Though Torunn was quiet glad to see Hawkeye back to his normal self but was worried how this will affect Morgan. Anyway they've been taking jobs to raise funds for both Morgan's treatment and to stay afloat in this country out to get them. Anyway it seem Skaar had forgone his desire for a Dragon and was treating Filo like she was a glass statue ready to shatter at the slightest of misuses. Of course Pym was a bit more worried about cleaning up after themselves afraid the Monsters will come to life as undead beasts out to kill them. Still James was worried about the power he had used against the Dragon which got Morgan to the state she was in while Torunn was more concerned about her own unknown power. Torunn began to wonder if there was truth to what the Witch had said that her power was inside herself not in her sword.

The Avengers were currently traveling through the forest after another job well done as Morgan had been able to help them out with it. She was still wearing her armor as she walked with the group knowing Cody was waiting on them. "Well another one of the docket." Morgan said as she walked with the group wearing her primary armor that covered most if not all of her burns.

"Yeah good to get out of the bed and back into the action." Hawkeye agreed as he walked with the others with Pym flying next to Azari's head.

"Yeah!" Pym agreed happy to see that their team was almost back at 100%.

"Hey guys." James began as he got everyone's attention on him. "Once we head back we're going to start getting ready to head to the Capital." James said knowing full well Morgan's treatment took top priority.

"Oh come on why?" Morgan asked as they could still suck in a few more coins out here and that's assuming they didn't happen across another mess the Stooges had made.

"Because Morgan your treatment takes top priority and the only major Church we know of that has the 'Holy Water,' you need is in the Capitol." James said as he looked to Morgan who didn't want to be anywhere close to Malty and Aultcray if it can be in anyway helped.

"He's not wrong outside of your armor you're not in your best of states." Torunn offered knowing full well Morgan needed that Holy Water to better heal.

"Fine." Morgan said until Filo appeared behind Morgan with Viv.

"Morgan I hope you get better real soon." Viv said as Filo nodded in agreement. Morgan smiled and pushed the two away playfully before the Avengers stopped upon hearing some sort of commotion going on up ahead.

"What?" Azari asked as he looked and thus they all began to make their way to the source.

"Look Filolials." Pym said as they arrived to the sight of variety of different colored Filolials surrounding a girl with violet colored hair.

"But who is that?" Azari asked as he saw the girl was wearing some high class clothing and looked to be enjoying her time with the Filolials in question. Just then Torunn slashed her way through the branches blocking their path which in turn got the attention of the Filolials. They all looked to the group before running off leaving the girl behind as she yelped in shock when they ran off.

"What's a girl doing out here?" James wondered as he saw the girl in question.

Just then Filo was heard licking her lips as she saw the birds run off. "Those birds look yummy. If we start now we can still hunt them down." Filo said causing the Avengers to all look at Filo with concern and worry.

"Ok Filo that's cannibalism coming from you!" Azari scolded shocked to hear Filo say that.

"He's right you know those are Filolials just like you right?" James asked as he looked to Filo both scolding her and concern for her.

"Like me?" Filo asked as clearly she hasn't been around many Filolials so it may explain her response to this.

"So big," the little blue hair girl suddenly said as everyone turn as the little girl was looking at Filo as she soon asked, "Are you a Filolial?"

"You mean me?" Filo asked as the little girl is surprise to hear her talk as she said, "You can talk, too?"

"Yep," Filo said as the little girl gotten very excited for some reason as she soon said, "I've always dreamed of talking with a Filolial!

Filo was shock by this with everyone a bit sweat dropping as they forgot talking Filolial aren't common, but given the fact that Filo was a royal type of Filolial that no one had any idea about before and went on as normal, as the little girl soon dig into her pocket to pull out something as she held it out and said, "For you. IT's fried meat."

"Thank!" Filo said as she sounded excited as she was getting free food as she walk over to the girl and peck the dried meat out of the girls hands and enjoy it, with the little girl soon feeling Filo's feathers being surprise how soft it was as Raphtalia soon asked, "Could she be from the village?"

"Can't be, given her state of dress, she looks like she could be from the main kingdom of Melromarc or maybe one of the other kingdoms perhaps," Viv said as she examined the little girls dress as it seems well made than a village dress maker could do as Morgan said, "Let's just assume she is from this lands kingdom as too far out without any escorts if she is from any other and ride out here, and maybe a daughter of a noble of sort."

"Or maybe a wealthy family," Hawkeyes said putting in his two cents as Azari soon said, "This little girl has a familiar scent to her, but I can't place it."

"Whoever she is, she doesn't seem that hostile or anything like that," James said with Torunn said, "She is just a young girl, I doubts she is that dangerous in the first place.

"What is your name?" the little girl asked Filo as she said to her, "Filo."

"Filo? That's a nice name, I'm Melty," the little girl said her name was as Filo said, "Then I'll call you Mel."

Melty seem to like that name as she nodded to it and said, "Sure! Oh I know."

Mel soon dug into her pockets again and pull out more dried meat and held it out to her as she said, "Want some more?"

"I do! I do." Filo called out as James looked surprised at seeing this.

"I've never seen anyone love Filolials like that." Raphtalia said as she saw the scene play out.

"Well we still have a job to do." James began but then saw Pym was missing. "Where did Pym go?" Pym asked and thus Melty squealed getting their attention.

"Hi I'm Pym nice to meet you Melty!" Pym called out as Pym was flying around in his pixie form after joining them.

"Geez when I said we were taking in strays I didn't mean it." Morgan said as she saw the scene play out.

"Well no use spoiling their fun." Hawkeye said and thus James nodded to his team.

"Pym, Filo we still have to go to the village to do some work." James said as he looked to Filo, Pym, and Melty. "But in the meantime you two can play with that girl." James said and thus Filo, Pym, and Melty smiled.

"We can?!" Pym asked with smiles on his face.

"You mean it?" Filo asked before Melty joined in.

"Really?" Melty asked and thus Filo smiled.

"Oh boy!" Filo jumped up and thus Filo transformed into her human form. "Wow!" Melty cried out as she saw what Filo did. "Can you really transform whenever you want to?!" Melty asked as she saw what Filo did.

"Sure I can." Filo said and thus it Melty looked ready to burst in response.

"Jeez what have I unleashed?" James joked as he saw the three kids having fun together.

"Well I think it's good they've taken a shine to each other, after all they need to spend time with kids their own age." Morgan said crossing her arms knowing that the more Pym and Filo interact with others the easier their development will be.

"Well there's no use stopping their fun." Azari said and thus James nodded.

"Pym, Filo if you two want you can play a little longer with Melty here, then be sure to be back by sunset ok." James said and thus Pym and Filo both smiled in response to this.

"Awesome! Let's go!" Pym called out and thus went into his pixie form as the girls began to chase him.

"Hey don't go too far away ok!" James called out and thus the three kids agreed.

"Got it!" Pym called out and thus Morgan smiled to this.

"I can't tell what you are to Filo her brother or her dad." Morgan said as she walked passed James who looked surprised by such words.

"I'm sure you'll make a wonderful father one day James." Torunn said passing by James leaving the confused leader in the dust.

As Hawkeye and Azari saw the girls leave Viv looked between them and thus voiced a concern. "I think Morgan wishes to mate with James." Viv said causing James to blush beat red leaving Hawkeye and Azari to burst out laughing in response.

(Scene Break at the Village)

The Avengers were gathered in the village with James aiding one of the patients in the clinic. "Drink this slowly." James said helping a plague victim as it was clear the damages from the Dragon had begun to clear up.

Once the man drank it he began to glow and smile quickly getting better. "Thank you our savior for saving us." The woman said grateful for the man's swift recovery.

"We're very thankful for you." Another villager said as he smiled to James.

"James over here!" Raphtalia called over and thus James went over to help the woman. "She needs our help too." She said and James nodded in response.

"On it." James said as he walked over to see how he can help the sick woman.

Outside Torunn, Hawkeye, and Viv saw the event as Cody was also helping making sure to put all he learned as a doctor to good use. "You're going to be better in no time." Cody said as he made sure his patients made a full recovery.

(Scene Break that Night)

Cody was applying bandages to Morgan as the Avengers were gathered in the room. As Cody worked Morgan hissed in pain as James saw this. "Does it hurt a lot?" Cody asked and thus Morgan smirked to this.

"Depends do I get a free medical bill if it does?" Morgan asked and the group chuckled as Cody kept up the work. "I'm just glad that new shield is in James hands and not Skaar's… no offense." Morgan said as she knew Skaar heard that.

"Great help that was." James said and thus Morgan sighed.

"Dude you still hung up on that?" Hawkeye asked as James looked away in response.

"We all lose control at times it can't be helped but what we can do is direct it as best we can." Viv said as she looked to James.

Just then the door opened and thus the group looked and saw Filo and Pym walk in. "Guys we're back!" Pym called out as Filo then walked in.

"Ok glad your back." James said as it was a bit late but they made it home safely so he would let it slide this time.

"Are you alright Morgan?" Filo asked as she looked to Morgan.

"Yeah I'll live." Morgan said as she relaxed in the bed while Cody applies the bandages.

"I'm so happy because Pym and I made such a wonderful friend today." Filo said as was also happy about this.

"You mean that girl you met earlier... Mel was it?" Azari asked and thus Pym nodded to this.

"Yeap." Pym said as he was happy to meet someone his own age much like Filo was.

"She said she's traveled to a lot of places, just like us," Filo said as James, "Sound nice I suppose."

"And she told us so many thing, with Filo didn't understand," Pym said as she said to him, "Because I don't know a lot like you do."

"IS that so?" James said as he listen to them as Filo spoken up this time as she said, "And she says she got separated from her people when she was playing with the Filolials."

"She… was separated from her people? You mean her family?" James asked but before Filo or Pym could say anything Melty came in suddenly as all attention was on her as she before the 5 members of the Avengers as she said to them, "I Apologize for showing up so late, but I need to ask, could you let me accompany you for a little while?"

"Well... before we agree, what do you mean?" James asked with Melty soon said, "I was on my way to the royal capital...but, uh, when I saw the Filolials..."

She trail off as the avengers waited for her to finish, as Melty grab her dress a bit as she seem embarrass to say it as she said, "I was so engrossed in playing with them, I got separated from my guards!"

"Guards?" Cody question as the three teen wonder if she was being accompany by guards, should they have return back to her or something?

"I heard you're leaving for the capital tomorrow, savior. Could you please take me with you?" Melty said as Morgan seem a bit suspicious about this whole thing even wonder how she knew James was the Savior as people been calling him if she been playing with Filo, but then again some people could have been talking with Melty went on saying, "I'm aware that I'm making a selfish request. But please, I must return to the capital! I get of you"

"All right, all fight no need to say anymore. We'll take you with us," James said as it seem cry people is his weakness even more so when they are little girls, Morgan decided to speak up as she said, "But we expect a reward as not everything we do is free of charge."

"Of course! I shall ask me father!" Melty said as she was happy to hear that they will be taking her back to the capital with Filo soon went to her and hug her as she said, "We can have more fun!"

Unaware to the group in the room as they were being watch from outside, as a woman in a dark cloak standing on a tree branch looking inside, no doubt one of the Queen's guards or spies to watch over them or someone else.

(The next morning)

With the sickness gone from the village, everything seen to return back to normal, even the color of the trees and grass around as the Avengers were packing up and ready to leave for the capital as the doctor who helped them said, "We truly can't find the words to thank you."

"No need, we're just happy we could help you and your people," James said as Morgan said, "But we will be back someday to collect the rest of our reward once this village gets back on its feet once with its economy."

"Of course," The doctor said as he understand some deed do not go unrewarded, but at least the avengers at giving them time to recover of what they lost during the plague.

The nurse looked at Morgan as she give her a small sign of sort of telling her "good luck winning James heart," sort of way as Morgan nodded to her as James gotten on and taken the rains he said, "Let's go Filo."

"Alright!" Filo said as she moves out hitting the roads that began their journey back to the capital.

(Montage)

As they group rode down the road, Viv and the other Avengers were in the sky stinger flying behind with Melty was in Awe when she saw it, with Raphtalia not looking so good as Azari try to help her with her motion sickness.

Later down the road as they have come to a stop to make camp and hunt, with Filo already on it as she kick at a moose like monster, and Hawkeye manage to score some demonic looking rabbits that wanted to bite someone face off.

Torunn manage to score a hog of sort, it wasn't a silver back but it would make due, Melty was excited to see the avengers in action, with James helping out Morgan setting up camp and getting her to rest due to her condition still.

The Avengers went to the river as they were going to catch some fish, with Morgan, Raphtalia, and melty were enjoying the river while as James, Pym, Azari, and Filo were trying to get some fishes, as James and Pym were using fishing rods while Filo and Azari does it by hand as they gotten a few with their natural ability to do it by hand.

Later at the camp as Pym, Filo, and Melty all played around while the rest were setting up dinner for tonight as James, Raphtalia, Torunn, and Azari were preparing the meat ready while Morgan, Viv, and Hawkeye were preparing the vegetables.

Not long after food was served as Filo looked to Pym and Mel's food with a look of want. Pym saw the chance and passed his greens over to Filo as Filo happily took that and Mel's food as well. This caused James to step in and take the food away from Filo and giving the greens back to Pym who pouted in response. Viv found it all humorous that she stiffened a laugh from herself.

(Later that evening)

Filo was back in her Filolial form as the Avengers were off to sleep save for James and Morgan. James was tending to the fire as Morgan yawned a bit. "You know you should also sleep right?" Morgan asked as she looked to James.

"Yeah but I'm honestly not tired right now." James said as he looked to the fire while making sure it burned strong.

"I can guess." Morgan said as she then sat down next to James and wrapped a blanket around him surprising him. "But if you catch a cold it will be on steroids when it gets us." Morgan said as she sat with James.

"I guess." James said as he then looked to Filo. "You know despite being loud earlier those three have become quiet little lambs." James said as he looked to Filo who rested.

"Yeah there kids for you jumping off the walls one second quiet little droolers the next." Morgan said as the two sat together in peaceful quiet. That was until Morgan took note of something troubling. "Huh wait where did purple girl go?" Morgan asked as she noted Mel was missing.

"Huh?" James said and thus he saw Mel's clothing next to Filo. The two walked over to it and noted how close it was to Filo as Morgan looked at the outfit with concern.

"What's wrong?" Raphtalia asked as she walked in having been woken up.

"We might have a problem." James said as Hawkeye saw this and went wide eyed putting the pieces together.

"You don't think." Raphtalia began as she started to stare at the clothing and Filo in horrifying realization.

"No there is no way." Azari said but Hawkeye decided to voice his thought.

"I knew it was only a matter of time... Filo is going to eat us!" Hawkeye called out as he was ready to take her down before she makes a meal out of them. "I mean come on she was well ok with eating her own kind it makes sense!" Hawkeye called out as Torunn didn't want to believe Filo would do something so horrible.

"Guys." James began as Cody and Viv had joined them and saw what was going on. "We all saw nothing, ok." James said as he didn't want to do it but they had no choice.

"What?!" Torunn called out socked to hear James say this.

"Let's destroy the evidence and get a muzzle for Filo." James said as he was fearful for what Filo would do or whom she would eat next.

"You can't be serious?!" Raphtalia gasped that James would suggest this.

"Well we can't just confess that our Filolial would actually eat someone!" James argued as Morgan nodded to this.

Just then Filo began to stir and take note to the heroes as she began to look them all over. "Guys... what's wrong?" Filo asked in a tired tone.

"Filo what have you done with Mel?" Raphtalia asked horrified of what Filo could and probably would do.

"What do you mean? She's sleeping in my feathers she has been all night long." Filo said as this surprised the Avengers to no end. "Time to wake up Mel." Filo said as she moved a bit and then from Filo's feathers a very tired Filo shot up surprising the heroes in response.

"What's the matter?" Mel asked as she looked to the heroes.

"What are you doing? How are you doing that?" Morgan asked back to back as she tried to make sense of this.

"Filo's feathers are so soft and comfortable I couldn't resist going to sleep." Mel said as she was clearly tired right now.

"So you took off all your clothes?" James asked worried that someone would come by and draw the wrong conclusion.

"Yes she did." a tired Pym yawned coming out from Filo's other side surprising the heroes.

"But how did you get in there?" Morgan asked as she tried to make sense of this with science alone. In turn the major members of the group put their hand on the favor and save for James the girls were surprised when their hands al but seeped into Filo's feathers.

"Wow it's... so soft." Morgan said and one by one the girls all fell asleep as even Filo ended up using Filo as a pillow of all things. The boys all saw this and thus had one idea to mind... go to bed and hope it was all a strange dream when they wake up. All in all after that happened the night became peaceful in preparations for what was awaiting for the heroes at the capital.

(The Royal Capital)

The Avengers made it as some of them had already flew in and hid the ship at the tent while the rest road into the capital in the wagon with James looking outside with Raphtalia holding the reins to Filo, just making sure that the guard won't see him and overlook Raphtalia as he had no idea what could be waiting for him and the Avengers and the more he avoids the king, the bitch princess, and the moron spear hero the better as he doesn't want to trigger that rage shield, as he named it.

Once they were inside and park the wagon before they depart from it, and get on the streets with the rest of the avengers waiting for them, as Melty and Filo stood before the group with Melty said, "Well, then... thank you all so much."

Melty bow down to them while lifting her dress just a bit as Filo soon said, "Can I take her home?"

"Sure, just remember to meet us back with us at the church as where we will be at," James said as Morgan said, "And don't forget to collect the reward for Melty safe return."

"Kay! Let's go," Filo said as they headed off to Melty's home, with Pym soon asked, "Can I go with them?"

"No Pym, remember what we said, people would confuse you with Demi-human so he need to stick with us," James said as Pym went, "Ah man."

"Hey you might see her again, it's just a matter where to find her with Filo would tell if you ask her," Hawkeye said as Pym would miss Melty as everyone can tell that he did have fun with both her and filo, and you can break a friendship like that as Pym said, "You think so"

"I would think so," Viv said as she would think it would be adorable for Pym be together with Melty and filo and play with them again as James look to everyone else as he said, "While me and Morgan visit the church, you guy can do what you want I for the time before and we can meet each other at the blacksmith shop."

Everyone agreed as they all split up, unknown to them that when they got into town Motoyasu saw them decided to follow them as he suddenly saw two new people in their group as he saw a girl in purple, and another in white and blue outfit, being Melty and Filo, but once his eyes lay on Filo seeing the wings on her back and she was blonde, he installing fell in love, but when James came into his site talking to them he felt his heart beat slower and now feel into a depressing of jealousy before that depression turn into Rage as he said, "Rogers-san, I will make you pay!"

(At the church)

James and Morgan arrived at the church as they look and saw above three pillars that shows the weapons on them, as no doubt it show the bow, the sword and the spear, with the spear more higher than the other two as James said, "I guess they call the church of the three weapons for a reason."

"Don't pay attention to the detail James, I think they are obvious jealous of the shield mostly seeing how much every user of the shield did in the past," Morgan said as they soon headed inside the church, as inside there wasn't a lot of people in it with a few nuns talking as they suddenly saw James and the shield and knew right away who he was as one of them whispered, "What is he doing here?"

"Excuse me?" James said scaring the nuns a bit even though he didn't mean to as he said, "Can you help us?"

Suddenly from an upper area, the pope suddenly walk in as a nun suddenly said before bowing down, "His Holiness the Pope!"

James and Morgan looked at the Pope, as he seem to dress like a holy man, there was a strange aura around him that James had a weird feeling about, and he wasn't the only one, as the pope said to him while holding up his hand that seem like he was waving or giving a blessing, "If it isn't the Shield Hero. Welcome to our church. I saw your magnificent duel at het royal palace."

"It... wasn't that magnificent, can't really said it was a good duel either," James said as he remember what happen at the end of the duel, beating Motoyasu half to death until Morgan stops him as the Pope reach the ground floor and said, "I understand, as I saw and hear what had happen to, and I wasn't pleased with what the spear Hero said either myself, but I can't really damnation him. And wasn't please on how you acted as well, but I can understand why you did and I was also pleased of the way you fought, with the odds stacked against you left a deep impression on me. I could not believe you held your own despite wielding only a shield."

"I don't know what to say about that and a shield does have more property than defending one self, it's a matter of how to do it, but I'm sorry to say that we didn't come here for a talk, your holiness sir," James said giving as much respect to the pope as he can as the Pope smile and said, "So what does bring you here then Shield Hero?"

"I'm looking for pure holy water that can rid of any curses," James said as the Pope said to him, "Holy water, is it?"

"Yes please," James said as the pope look to one of his priest that stood beside him as he nodded, understanding what the pope wanted him to do as the man asked, "Then please make your offering."

"How much?" James asked with the priest said to him, "If you want the most potent one, that'll be one gold coin."

Morgan did the numbers in her head and figure out how much a gold coin is with, as 100 coppers coins equal to 1 silver, and 100 silver equal to 1 gold coin as she said in a low tone for only James to Hear her, "With that amount, we could be able to pay for at least 5 or so holy waters with our copper savings alone, but I wouldn't get that many."

James nodded as he soon said, "I will pay for two then being two gold coins."

the man nodded as he came up to James while eh handed over two gold coins, with that the same one look to a nun and orders her to get two holy waters, with Morgan looked at James as she asked him in a low tone, "We can make do with one, why get two?"

"I worry about you Morgan, so I'm getting two for you," James said as Morgan blink to that as she said, "You really care for me that much?"

Before he could say anything, a nun came out with a bottle of holy water, but when James examine it, it was the low quality, the same kind that the doctor at the village use and given them to stay off the curse on Morgan, as he knew the nun may have hated him for some reason, but wasn't going to call her out on it, as he just said, "I'm sorry I think there is a misunderstanding, I wanted two holy waters and the potent ones as well."

The pope smile to James as he knew he was being kind as normal, as he turn to the nun who brought out the holy water as he said to her, "Why did you bring only one low-Quality item?"

"b-but," The nun started to say but the pope won't let her finish as he said to her, "God is equally compassionate to all. IF you did this to satisfy your personal beliefs, then I hope you repent at once."

"I... I'm terribly sorry!" the nun said as she soon walk away with the low quality holy water with the pope turn to James and give a small bow to him as he said, "I apologize for my fellow disciple."

"I'm sure it was just an misunderstanding and nothing to get angry about, even though I know how the people of this kingdom sees me as, it won't change what I believe in," James said as the Pope smile to him while he grab the cross on him as he said, "You are too kind Sir Shield hero, I'm thankful for your understanding."

soon enough two bottle of the potent holy waters came forth as James examine them to make sure and they were as he look to the pope and said, "Thank you for your help, we'll be leaving now."

AS he and Morgan began to leave, the Pope said to him before they left the church, "God shows us all the way."

They turn around for a moment as the pope went on saying to James, "Please be grateful for his guidance. Everything we have, we are given by God's grace"

James give a nod to the pope, as he may not very religious person, he still believe in god, and that's good enough, as he understand before he and Morgan went on their way again as they walk out of the church.

(Outside)

"Despite him being so nice, I cannot feel but relief to be out of there," James said as the pope have him a bad vibe for some reason, a similar feeling he felt when he first meet Ultron.

"James," Morgan said as she warns him, as James look and saw a knight that was running to him, as it was a bit strange to say, as the knight called out to him, "Sh-Shield Hero!"

James wonder what he wants, if they were in trouble or something else, he won't run from the knight and will face against whatever is coming his way, and if comes to a fight he will defend himself as the knight came up.

The knight himself soon stopped before the two, as James and Morgan gotten a good look at the knight, he was a bit on the small side for a knight and young as well as the young knight said, "Shield Hero... I f-found you."

"Is there a problem?" James questioned him as the young knight caught his breath as he said, "No sir, but I want to ask you a favor."

"Ok we'll hear you out on this." James said as he looked to the Knight.

But before the request could be made Morgan spoke up as she looked to the young Knight and James. "Yeah not to be that girl but I got some burns I need to deal with and I'm pretty sure we need a few things also." Morgan said as she raised her hand a bit.

"My word Lady Stark what happened?" The Knight asked as Morgan laughed a bit.

"Long story not gonna tell, Link." Morgan said using a Zelda Reference this time.

"Um my name isn't." The confused Young Knight began to say but James sighed so to cut him off.

"No use arguing she likes to give everyone a nickname in one way or form." James said as he looked to the young Knight.

"Oh of course." The Knight said and thus James stretched a bit. "Anyway you're free to accompany us while we run our errands." James said and thus the Knight nodded but then had to decline.

"Pardon but perhaps we should meet somewhere close by." He suggested and thus James nodded to him.

"That is an odd request but can I ask why?" James asked and then the Knight looked to James.

"It involved what you and the Avengers did for Lute." He said and thus James was reminded of that village from so long ago. Seeing this James agreed and then had the location. "There's a weapon shop not too far from here, they've probably been popular with new equipment lately head there and we'll talk then." James said and the Knight nodded before taking his leave.

Once he was gone Morgan began to voice her objection. "James remember the LAST time you gave someone the benefit of the doubt?" Morgan asked being reminded of Malty and their disaster with her. "Not saying it's dumb of you to be the nice guy even after that shit but it kind of makes you seem naïve." Morgan said but James shrugged to this.

"You'll be surprised how far a simple act of kindness can take someone." James said knowing full well all the people the saved when clearing up their world of Ultron and his remaining robots.

"Yeah I guess." Morgan said agreed with James on this for now.

"Well come on we have to pick up a few things and also we need to look into this Class Upgrade business." James said as he remembered the bandits they took on a while back when they first became travelling merchants/performers.

"Yeah and the others are probably waiting for us also." Morgan said and thus the duo were off to grab what they needed.

(Later in Town)

The Two Avengers were seen browsing through the market with Morgan looking at supplies for themselves. Nothing fancy they would sell just stuff they need for their daily things. Since the Sky Stinger had a fridge (Morgan's idea) they could keep things cool there. They were in an open street and in turn saw Torunn there waiting for them. "James Morgan." Torunn greeted as she looked to the two Avengers.

"Torunn what are you doing here?" James asked as he looked to his adoptive sister.

"Well we were recently approached by a magic caster from Lute who had a request of us." Torunn said as she looked to the duo surprising them.

"Huh we were met by a Knight who may have lived in Lute." Morgan said as Torunn looked to them.

"It's not who they are its, what they were trying to request of us." Torunn said as she looked to James. "I told the magic user to find the others whom apparently had the same request while I went out to look for the two of you." Torunn said as James was now getting confused. When they left the City before they had glares at them but now people didn't even seem to mind them here.

"Ok strange." James said and in turn noticed something nearby.

"James Rogers!" Motoyasu was heard as he jumped in with his spear at them.

"Look out!" James called out and pushed Morgan and Torunn out of the way as James blocked Motoyasu's attack with his shield. The ground below James webbed out with cracks before he managed to push Motoyasu back.

"Motoyasu?!" Torunn called out shocked to see him here and attacking James.

"Are you nuts attacking me like that there are innocent people nearby, someone can get hurt!" James scolded as he glared at Motoyasu shocked to see this as he also wanted to give him a piece of his mind about the Seed Incident.

"Shut your face!" Motoyasu called out spinning his spear before attacking. James dodged the attack and in turn glared at Motoyasu with his shield at the ready. "Where is that slave girl? Bring her now!" Motoyasu demanded as he charged into the fight.

"Really this again how many times do I have to say this, she's not!" James began but Motoyasu cut him off.

"I'm not talking about her!" Motoyasu said and thus began to pull back from James. "I'm talking about the blond girl with wings on her back." Motoyasu said as James knew who he was talking about. "I saw her with you so don't lie to me." Motoyasu said as Morgan saw what was going on.

"Oh boy." Morgan said as she had been developing armor to take on the Cardinal Heroes but that armor was still in beta.

"Wait are you talking about Filo?" James asked as Filo was the only blond girl with his party with wings on her back.

"Filo's her name!" Motoyasu called out pointing an accusing finger at James. "How can you make her your slave?" Motoyasu said as he then went on tangent. "I've never seen a girl that perfect she's incredible!" Motoyasu listed off as he remembered seeing Filo before. "It's hard to believe there's a girl like Freon from Hellworld." Motoyasu said as James saw where this was going. "Actually I have this thing for angels." Motoyasu said as he began to blush getting a perverted look on his face.

"I do not like where this is going." Torunn said feeling the sudden urge to grab her sword as Morgan agreed.

"You and me both sister." Morgan said as she reached for the button to activate her armor.

"My heart has been in overdrive ever since I got my first look at that wonderful face." Motoyasu said as James looked to Motoyasu. "I love other worlds and I love that beautiful blond angel." Motoyasu announced as James then decided to break his fantasy right here and now.

"Dude... she's like half your age maybe even younger, I get you find her cute but that's... oh my god." James said as he began to realize what Motoyasu was saying. "Ok Motoyasu please tell me you're not into that sort of thing." James said steadily easing back from Motoyasu to get out of Torunn and Morgan's way.

"Oh come on there's nothing wrong with that I mean Freon was almost exactly like her." Motoyasu said as he looked to James as he put his shield up for what was coming next. "I mean it's not like being a Lolicon is such a bad thing around here." Motoyasu said and thus James knew Motoyasu had done it. Torunn had learned of that term through Morgan and thus Motoyasu has sealed his doom.

"A Lolicon?" Morgan asked as hers and Torunn's ears perked up at hearing this.

"As in a man who enjoys smaller girls who are majority of the time younger then he is." Torunn said as Morgan then had more to add.

"And who would very much do certain explicit things to said young girls." Morgan said as she and Torunn walked over to Motoyasu their hairs shadowing their eyes.

"I want to warn him but... he kind of deserves what's coming." James said as he wasn't hiding from Motoyasu… he was hiding from Torunn and Morgan.

"Um yeah but not that..." Motoyasu began but then stopped. 'Wait what is this chill I'm feeling... its oddly familiar like that day back home... no wait it's not jealousy or lust... it's also not a Yandere feeling its... rage pure cold rage.' Motoyasu thought to himself and thus began to fearfully look to the two girls here.

"Then I suppose you are willing to sacrifice your ability to continue your bloodline for a moment of Filo's time." Torunn said as then glared at Motoyasu with her eyes blazing with her hidden power while Morgan began to armor up.

"It's a fair trade your manhood so your pee brain can get a moment with your idol girl." Morgan added as the face plate of her armor came on over her face. Her hub was already targeting all weapons on Motoyasu as Morgan drew her sword dragging it across the ground causing Motoyasu to step back in fear of the two.

"Wait girls let me explain." Motoyasu began but it was clear they were not keen on listening.

"Oh trust me you've explained plenty... in fact let us explain our opinion on Freon and the possibility of Filo ever being near you for more than a mere moment." Morgan said as in turn she aimed her weapons at Motoyasu as the Spear Stooge went wide eyed to the heat Morgan was packing.

Just then a bolt of lightning shot down from the sky hitting Motoyasu causing him to cry out in pain when it hit showing it was Morgan who did it. "I am going to enjoy making you hurt." Torunn added showing she really wanted to cause harm to Motoyasu.

After a few minutes Motoyasu was on the ground twitching and bit blacken from the lightning and repulsor beams striking him as Torunn and Morgan walk away as the goddess dusted off her hands with Iron-heart avenger wipe the sweat off her head a bit with James came up to them as he asked them, "Did you get that out of your system and blew off enough steam?"

"Enough to settle the rage, but the anger still lingers," Torunn said as even though they kick the shit out of Motoyasu they still not happy about him liking loli girls, even more so with Filo as she is their new cute mascot after Raphtalia grew up into a warrior that she is now, as Morgan said, "Same here as if he ever mention that stuff again or get near Filo then he will be retaught the same lesson."

"Well, thankfully you didn't kill him," James said with Torunn spoken up saying, "We would have cut off his manhood, but then again I shall never get near his filthy family jewels as no tell where he has been."

"Yeah, I would not touch that will a 10 foot poll, but I can blast at it from 20," Morgan said as it sounded like she did that as Motoyasu was also holding his groin area a bit as James sighed and said, "Please stand by and cool off and hopefully we can settle this more peacefully after what you two did."

James was a bit afraid they may have done something that would get the king on their back for and blame them for something like being a hero short to fight off the waves and such, even if Motoyasu started the fight they would still be blame and try something to hurt them in some way or form.

James soon walked over to the spear Hero and said to him, "I'm sorry for what happen, as I should have warn you, but you wouldn't have listen to me anyways, hopefully they will cool down after this."

James held out his hand and cast, "Decipher the laws of nature and heal my target. Fast healing."

A glow came over Motoyasu as he groin a bit as the spell did work as he soon recover and gotten up, as James said to him, "I hope this doesn't put any bad blood between us."

"I thank you for healing me… but there still no way I will forgive you," Motoyasu said as he pointed his spear at James once again as the girl soon notice something between his legs after Morgan fire a repulsor at it and burn the cloth that was hiding armor plates covering his crotch as the girls started to giggle at this with Morgan said, "Wow spear boy had a crotch cover!"

James could not help but look down at it when Morgan mention it as indeed there were two armor plates covering his crotch area as he soon asked, "Why are you wear those for? They would hinder your ability to move around as much."

Motoyasu wonder what he meant as then he realize what he meant as then he said in a venomous tone, "Oh yeah, that fat bird's yours too, isn't it? After I got hit there by that bird, I was fearing for my pride and I put armor there to protect them, doubling it so nothing like that happens again."

"Look I'm sorry that happens, but you sort of brought that on yourself. I didn't ask her to do that," James said as Motoyasu wasn't having that as he said, "Shut up1 I'll send you and that chubster to hell!"

He raise his spear and prepared and attack as James eyes widen and quickly brought his shield up, no time to use a special move as he just block the attack as Motoyasu called out, "Air Strike Javelin!"

He throw his spear at James, and bounce off his shield, and flew at a food stand, with people running away before it impacted making an explosion that destroy the stand and part of the building it was set in front of with the girls shock that he moron spear Hero is using a special attack in public and it didn't stop there as Motoyasu cast out, "chaos spear!"

Many light of spears came forth as they were coming at people. In turn both Torunn and Morgan's quick reaction Morgan blast the spears of light with her repulsor destroy a few with Torunn using her sword and block them, protecting the people but some still got through and hit a building with a guy yelling out at the spear Hero, "Knock it off, You moron!"

"Don't fight here!" another guy said with a 3rd one said to them, "What's the big deal? Go for it!"

The 2nd guy went up to the 3rd, grabbing his shirt as he said, "You wanna say that again?"

the 3rd guy just punch the 2nd without much cause with another guy punch him, and soon enough a huge fight was breaking out as Morgan and Torunn was looking at them as Morgan said, "Has everyone lost their fricken minds?!"

"It seems they have," Torunn said they knew they have to get everything under control fast as Morgan look to Torunn and said, "We may have to do some crowd control."

"Dammit!" James cursed as he saw the event going on. "Morgan those other Drones the Iron Legion are they ready?" James asked as he avoided another of Motoyasu's attacks.

"I have the basic program template ready and have a few drones ready with it..." Morgan began and thus got the gist of it. "Oh duh." Morgan face palmed herself and put on a set of shades she carried with her. She then pulled down a small mic and with it the shades showed her data she had gathered. "Activate the Iron Legion." Morgan ordered as she and Torunn moved to cover. The images on her glasses showed five humanoid figures activating and thus she knew help was on the way.

(Sky Stinger)

The Sky Stinger was parked it a hidden location where their foes won't find it. In turn the sides of it began to open and from it five beings walked out. As they walked out they looked like Iron Man Armors but there were 100% androids. Morgan and her dad Tony had made the Iron Legion to try and keep the peace in the settlement back home. They also made sure to limit the programming to prevent another Ultron incident. People didn't like it at first but luckily they mainly kept the peace never went to full blow murder.

The Iron-Legion were updates with this world's information and thus far Morgan hadn't had to use them. She made them to try and protect the people caught up in their battle. In turn the five androids took off and flew to where Morgan had signaled them to head to.

(City)

As the riot continued on the Iron-Legion arrived on the scene surprising the people as they began to split any fighters apart. "Cease hostilities and disperse." One of the Legions said as one by one they broke up the fighting civilians.

"You are causing a public disturbance please back away from each other." Another Android spoke as it seems the Iron-Legion were simply trying to break up the fighting.

"We wish to avoid any severe injuries, please disperse." The Iron-Legion spoke as they worked on separating the people being calm and gentle like but adding a bit force as the people struggled a bit.

"This area is unsafe please move to a safer location till the conflict has been concluded." Another one said showing they were trying to get the civilians out of the way to prevent others from getting hurt. But in the end the Iron-Legion did what they were intended to do defuse the situation and prevent any further fighting.

Meanwhile with James he was blocking the attacks and saw the Iron-Legion moving Civilians to a safer area. For James this meant that he had more room to fight back without causing harm to others. James was ready to fight back as Motoyasu glared at the red haired Avengers. "Hey Rogers!" Motoyasu called out with his spear ready to skewer James.

"Wait Spear Hero you can't!" The Knight from before called out as he ran over and got in the way of Motoyasu's attack. James was wide eyed at this fearing the worst as the Knight closed his eyes also fearing the worst. It seems that luck was on his side as Motoyasu managed to move his spear aside in time. Motoyasu growled to this as James was left wide eyed when he saw this but quickly regained himself.

"This is a public place." The young Knight began as he looked to Motoyasu. "Take your differences elsewhere this is no place for a duel!" The Knight said showing he did not wish for any more damage to be caused.

"It is now!" Came the voice of Malty as the three Avengers looked and saw the red haired bitch had arrived with a squad of Knights "Surround them!" Malty ordered as James went wide eyed in response to this.

"Are you nuts?! There are still innocent people nearby!" James called out hearing what Malty said.

Malty only responded with a sickening smirk as she looked upon the group. "Ladies and Gentlemen!" Malty began as she held a royal decree in her hand. "I hereby declare this an official duel between the Spear Hero and the Shield Hero all thanks to the Royal Crown which had vested me with the authority to do so!" Malty called out as the Three Avengers glared at Malty while varying from growling to grabbing their weapons until a new voice spoke up getting everyone's attention.

"Put your weapons away!" A new voice called out surprising everyone and more importantly the Knights. Then to the shock of the Avengers all of the Knights began to kneel as a familiar face began to walk through the crowd. It was Melty as she was being accompanied by a squad of Royal Knights herself. "I absolutely forbid the Heroes fighting amongst themselves." Melty said as James was wide eyed to this.

"What is this?" Torunn asked as Morgan then shrugged in response.

"What are you doing back here?" Malty asked glaring at Melty knowing exactly who she is.

"It has been way to long... dear sister." Melty said as she began to approach the scene leaving the Avengers shocked to hear this. "I do hope you don't think that you or the heroes' privilege can cover up this mess." Melty said as she began to scold her elder sister and the Spear Hero. "The damage that has been done is plain for everyone to see." Melty said as she then looked to Motoyasu. "Spear Hero." She began as she then continued on. "Look around you the Shield Hero had even warned you of this and you went and ignored him." Melty said as she wasn't done just yet. "Would you honestly call a man a hero when he puts others' lives at risk?" Melty said as she was then in front of Motoyasu glaring at him.

"As it stands the Shield was actively trying to prevent the damages and if rumor holds truth his party members have ways to reveal it." Melty added as she knew James was actively trying to limit the damage as the Iron Legion were assisting with recovery now. "Dear sister your fun and games have gone on much too long." Melty said as the way she carried herself was truly that of a royal with proper upbringing.

"I have no idea what you're talking about, I'm simply doing my job at the hero's aid that's all." Melty said and thus James glared at her for this.

"Oh so making him fight in a public place is your idea of aid I see." Melty said and James added his two cents on this.

"Or how about raiding a dungeon for a 'magic seed,' that turned out to be a monster seed." James said surprising Motoyasu and Melty when they heard this.

"Yeah we found the village you 'saved,' from famine and had to clear up you mess." Morgan said as glared at the group. "Innocent people were hit by this thing with a plant parasite to boot!" Morgan said and thus remembered another thing. "Which reminds me, they want their money back for your lousy service to them." Morgan added as she glared at Motoyasu and Malty.

"That's a blatant lie!" Malty yelled as she glared at Morgan.

"You would know." Morgan said with a cocky smirk as she showed the initial signs that she had recorded evidence of this event.

"I see." Melty said as she heard this and glared at Malty for a moment. "I assume you brought evidence?" Melty asked and thus Morgan activated it and needless to say Motoyasu and Malty were shocked to see the village they gave the seed too covered in vines and villagers covered in those same vines until showing James and his team both healing the villagers and cleaning up the mess.

"That's just one incident of the three cardinal stooges." Morgan added as she glared at Motoyasu.

"I see." Melty said as she then glared at Malty. "Malty you will return the Gold you charged these people and give them to the Shields party at once." Melty said showing that Morgan was right since James and his group were the ones who cleaned up the Spear's mess the reward money rightfully belongs to him.

"You dare defy me your older sister?" Malty asked glaring at her younger sister.

"If I have to I will let mother know about this." Melty said as she wasn't done just yet. "But it's starting to seem that I may need to inform her posthaste and more than likely have her return early to settle the matter." Melty added showing she meant business here.

Malty growled at this knowing she was in fact beaten here. James seeing this also grew worried that Malty may in fact plan something to make sure the Queen didn't find out about this. As James lowered his guard he saw how Melty was apologizing as Malty and Motoyasu were both being strong armed to relinquish the reward money so James and his party.

"Well who would have thought?" Morgan said as she was also instructing the Iron-Legion to help with damage control.

"I agree." Torunn said surprising to see that Melty was Malty's elder sister.

"James!" Raphtalia was heard and thus the group looked and saw Cody, Azari, Viv, Raphtalia, Filo, Hawkeye, and Pym running over to them.

"We heard the commotion what happened?" Azari asked as he was worried now.

"Nothing it was just the Spear Stooge again." Morgan said as she pointed to Motoyasu who made a bee-Line for Filo at least until he found a Sword in his path curtesy of Torunn and a Shield curtesy of James.

"Do you want a repeat of earlier?" Torunn asked as her sword sparked to life showing she will give Motoyasu a second helping of what he gave him before. "Only this time I neuter you with my sword." Torunn added as she glared at Motoyasu in absolute contempt.

"I won't do anything, I'll be on my best behavior, I swear!" Motoyasu said as Torunn looks at Morgan for a bit as she gives her a nod before the goddess lowers her sword as then she said, "Fine then."

"But no touching, any sort and we will revoke your manhood permanently," Morgan said as Motoyasu nodded as then the girl step aside as Filo said, "What's going on?"

"Whatever it is, must be some story to tell," Hawkeye said before Motoyasu came up to Filo and kneeling down to her as he said, "Miss Filo. That's your name, right?"

"Yep," Filo said with a smile as Motoyasu said to her, "You poor thing. James's working you like a horse, isn't he?"

The avengers sort of laugh at that as they try to hide it, not wanting to say it with Filo does as she said, "I like drawing the carriage."

At that moment Motoyasu got angry at that as everyone started to giggle at that as the spear Hero said, "James, you swine. You're making her pull your wagon like that fat bird?"

He stood up and ready his spear to fight James again as he said to him, "You'll pay for this!"

"Seem like he's just asking for punishment, doesn't he?" Morgan said as Torunn nodded as then Motoyasu said, "Even they agree with me!"

"Ah, we're talking about you," Morgan said as then with Filo have a darken look on her face as she said, "You called me fat."

"Hu?" Motoyasu said as Filo went on saying to him, "You made fun of me the last time we met, too."

"I did? When?" Motoyasu said as everyone step back knowing what is gonna happen as Filo transform into her Filolial form with an angry look on her face as her eyes were pure white as she said, "I hate you, spear guy!"

"Huh? Y-you were that fat bi-

*BONK!

Filo had kicked at Motoyasu's crotch as the armor plates clank when she kick it breaking them off and sent the spear Hero flying in the air with a look of absolute pain on his face when he did with Malty cry out, "Sir Motoyasu!"

The spear Hero crash into some boxes, breaking them on impacted while he cry out in pain, Malty look to her knights and said, "Somebody take him to a doctor at once!"

Melty face palm to this as she sees Motoyasu's stupidity and sees how her sister fooled him, with Filo change back into her human form she raise her hand with Morgan held up as they both said. "Filo wins!"

They soon laugh at that with Azari said while patting Filo head as he said, "Nicely done Filo."

"Sir Azari," Raphtalia said while scolding the Black Panther teen, with James sighed to this as he said, "A little much do you think?"

"I think he deserve it, I mean Filo not fat, she fluffy," Pym said as Filo smile to him as she said, "Thank you."

"He may need to put ice on it again," Viv said as Morgan said to her, "He gonna need to do more than that at this point."

"Thou may need a new set," Torunn said as they laugh again with James just shrugs and let it be with suddenly as he heard Melty speaking to him as she said, "Our savior of the Heavenly Fowl...No, shield Hero. I need to talk to you."

"Fine, let's talk somewhere private," James said while sounding he was a bit upset as Melty didn't tell them her full identity as Morgan said, "Lets head to the black smith shop, to talk privately there."

(Blacksmith shop)

AS the avenger arrive with Melty follow them in as Erhard said to them, "Hey kid, could you explain this to me?"

"It's a long story," James aid as Morgan said to him, "Sorry for coming here to talk in privately, but can't have anyone eavesdropping. I'll give you another print to make it up to you."

"Fine," the guy said as he leave them be as they began to talk as James asked, "So let's get to the point here ok, who are you exactly Mel?"

"I apologies for my late introduction, I am first in line to the throne of Melromarc, Second princess Melty Melromarc," Melty said as Erhard freak out to that as now they understand why the avengers need a private place to talk at as Filo said, "In line to the throne?"

"She'll be the next ruler, basically," James aid as Morgan soon said, "And ahead of your older sister, too. I guess that mean she has more authority than her which made sense of why the knights bow down to her."

"Wait if she's younger than her elder bitch, no offense." Hawkeye began as he looked to Melty.

"None taken." Melty said before Hawkeye continued.

"Why is she next in line for the throne?" Hawkeye asked and Azari had a few theories.

"Well normally in any monarchy or matriarchy the first born child is the immediate successor but there are some instances when the younger is made the Crowning Heir most of the times it involves the death of the elder sibling in one way or form." Azari said and thus Melty had the answer.

"My sister's personality is the reason why she isn't immediate successor to the throne. As you have no doubt already seen my sister has been somewhat of a problem child and in turn my mother felt it best that I was made the heir apparent." Melty said as she looked to the Avengers while James was thinking it over.

"Yeah great so about that Reward money coming our way?" Morgan asked and thus Melty sighed a bit as James gave Morgan a scolding look.

"It seems my sister has already spent it. But make note your next income from the crown will include the reward money." Melty said as she knew Malty had expensive tastes and had dipped into the royal treasury to sedate them.

"Great." Hawkeye scowled knowing already they had to see the King about their regular supply of Gold.

Melty seeing Hawkeye's tone opted to get back to the main subject. "When I met you all I had no idea you were the Shield Hero, Sir James." Melty said as James stopped her there.

"Just James is fine rather avoid formalities." James said as Melty nodded to him.

"Of course, James as I was saying, now that I know this could be a perfect opportunity." Melty said as she looked to James.

"Opportunity?" Pym asked as he looked to Melty.

"Can you give us the whole story on the King before we talk about opportunities?" James asked and thus Melty nodded to James.

"Of course, before my mother had left she had asked my father even tried to reason with him to treat the Shield Hero, which is you James, fairly but she had a feeling he wouldn't heed her words so she left The Queen's Shadows to keep her updates on events here." Melty said as she then got to the next bit of information. "When it was clear he did not heed her words she opted to send me back to chastise him on this but clearly the situation maybe worse then I may have realized." Melty said as she then got to the big bit of it. "The Shadows have reported certain troubling news from the Church and the Crown that may have need to cause my mother to return early." Melty said showing she feared the day that would occur.

"Why is your mother away anyway?" Torunn asked as she was worried Malty outside the Queen's watch may be vulnerable to Malty's manipulations for the crown.

"Dealing with political strives with the other nations, your summoning especially the facts the Shield was summon with others had made no small tides with the other nations." Melty said showing that the Queen was well informed on these recent events. "She's at the moment handling negotiations with Faubley before returning to Melromarc." Melty said as she looked to the Avengers.

"And by the look of things these negotiations are nearing their end right?" James asked as he looked to Melty who nodded causing the Avengers to be hopeful.

"Still my mother and the Shadows believe the systematic attack on you and your Party goes much deeper than a bigot King." Melty said getting to the worse of it. "They believe that someone is fanning the flames of my fathers hatred against the Shield to benefit off it, and save for my sister the Church seems to be the only one capable of this, but it's still unknown how they benefit from summoning all four Cardinal Heroes." Melty said showing that part of the mystery was still just that. "If we can." Melty began but James cut her off.

"No." James said as he looked to Melty. "Without concrete evidence this could turn into a political nightmare that might allow the church to squeeze their way out." James said as he looked to Melty who was surprised by this. "We will need to wait for the Queen to return before we do anything against the Church if they really are behind all this." James said as Melty was surprised at James caution in all of this. "And more so if your here and the Queen is not... I'm worried Malty might try something against you, I have a feeling she isn't too happy your mother made you heir apparent and not her." James said as if knew Malty had the most to benefit off of Melty's death.

"Are you implying she might?" Melty began and James left it quiet there.

"Maybe or have someone else do it and look the other way when and if it happens." James said to which he looked to Melty. "For now you should probably head back to the castle try to locate more evidence and then when the Queen gets here we can nail them and put an end to this mess." James said and Melty found herself agreeing with James.

"Huh is this James sitting around doing nothing?" Morgan asked to which James looked to Morgan.

"No I'm just using the brains I got from mom." James said with a smirk on his face to which Melty had, no choice but to agree to this. Plus James spoke a lot of sense but Melty didn't want to believe her sister would be capable of something like what he implied.

"Very well." Melty said and just then the door opened to the shop.

"Princess Melty his royal majesty calls." Melty's guard said as he looked to the crown princess.

"Alright." Melty said as she then looked to Filo and Pym. "I have to go now Pym Filo." Melty said as the two nodded to the Princess.

"Ok see you real soon." Pym said with a smile on his face before Melty took her leave of the group. James was deep in thought as he thought it over. This was basically proof the Queen was on their side. And if the theory of a conspiracy holds truth then that means when they uncover it those responsible are going to face justice. But until then they had to keep an ear to the ground and their eyes peeled for anything that might be a lead. Still in the end the heroes knew justice would prevail one way or another.

(TBC)

ESKK: Well here we go a new chapter I hope you all enjoyed it and will opt to join me for the next one soon. So until then I asked you leave a review and until then I will once more say to you ja-ne.
