Episode 7

Lily walks around, and moves some rubble to find some people trapped underneath. "I could have gotten that, still I suppose I should thank you for the help" says a muscular teen. One of the teens, with a missing front tooth jumps up on a rock on all fours, and licks it. "Ew! You're nasty Conny" says a girl with her blonde hair in a side ponytail. "Oi, I don't think we're alone here. We've got (puts ear on rock) at least 4, no 5 medium sized enemies coming" says Conny. The muscular guy grabs Conny, and pulls her down. "Jeez, what are you even doing" asks the guy. "Tracking mate" she says happily. The guy sighs. "That's creepy Conny for you" says a guy with a lot of piercings and blonde hair. "Who are you guys" asks Lily. "We're-" starts Conny. The blonde girl covers her mouth. "Quite Conny, she could totes be an enemy" she says. "Illogical. If she were an enemy, she mearly would have left us under the debris to suffocate, or be compressed by the rock" says one with glasses. "Aye, I'm da team leada! You wanna hurt us, yous gots ta get through me" says a brown haired team with red eyes. The muscular guy whacks him on the head. "Hey, I'm Ace, the rock licker is my half sister Conny. The smart guy is Mal, the blonde girl is Jenny, the guy with piercings is Burk, and the mouthy one with red eyes is, 1 not the leader, and 2 his name is Hale. Thanks for the save" says the muscular guy. "I'm Lily" says Lily. Conny sniffs the air. "They're here" says Conny. Five demon dogs jump out, and start charging them. Mal holds his hand out. "Inscription magic, barrier" says Mal as he writes barrier in the air and one appears. "Alright, time to party everyone! Support magic, strength" says Jenny. Everyone feels a rush of strength. Conny winks, and stomps her foot. The ground starts shaking. Burk does a backflip, and throws some metal spikes from his sleeve, which nail the demon dogs to the ground. Ace cracks his knuckles, and grabs a demon dog, then proceedes to throw it far into the air. "Oh yeah, my time ta shine! Red deathtrap" says Hale as he places his hand on the ground, and a bunch of red needles sprout from the ground, impaling the demon dog, and the ones on the ground. "Wow, that's amazing" says Lily. Burk scoffs. "Yeah right. Not enough" says Burk. "Burk, don't be like that" starts Jenny. Burk scoffs. "Don't worry about him. He...we, had a big loss" says Ace. "What do you mean" asks Lily. Ace walks Lily over to the rubble, and reveals a dead girl with her arms folded across her chest, and a slash across her body. "That was Sally, Burks girlfriend. They were friends since childhood. She was out little groups healer, but in one battle, Burk got hit pretty bad, and she rushed out to heal him, but it turned out to be a trap. They had her before we even know what hit us. Then the ceiling collapsed, and we were helping help would arrive in time, but...you know" says Ace. "I'm sorry for your loss" says Lily. "Yeah...so are we" says Burk. Conny grabs Lily's arm, and sniffs her. "OMG Conny, what is it now" asks Jenny. "She's been in close proximity of one of them spirits love" says Conny. "For the last time Conny, they aren't spirits, they're just monsters" says Ace. "That's not true! They smell like spirits" says Conny. "Yeah, they're bad spirits called black keys" says Lily. "Aha! I knew it, now, where's this spirit you saw (licks Lily's arm, which makes Lily look a little weirded out). Well, he's still alive, wherever he is. I'm gonna say Northeast" says Conny. "What? Your tracking tell you that" asks Burk. "Nope! Woman's intuition" says Conny. "Actually, before we advance, I advise searching the surrounding area for possible hostiles in case of an ambush, furthermore, we shouldn't act until we know a bit more about our foes, so I recommend asking the lady who saved us some questions before formulating an advancement plan" says Mal. "Eh, we gots nothin ta worry about with da Hale masta around" says Hale. "Oh yeah, why are your eyes red" asks Lily. "Aye, dats for me ta know and-" starts Hale. "Red contacts" says Conny. Hale looks defeated. Meanwhile, Raid limps a small distance off from Cecilia. "Where are you going" asks Cecilia. "I think I hear fighting ahead. Several clashes of swords. I gotta go help" says Raid. "You can't! You can barely walk" says Cecilia. "They're gonna be in worse shape than me if I do nothing" says Raid. Cecilia sighs, and pulls out Shield and Spears keys. "Open! Gates of piercing and barrier" says Cecilia. Shield and Spear appear, and Shield hugs Cecilia. "Oh, my new master. I thank you for saving my life. You have my gratitude" says Shield. "Actually, I wouldn't have if Raid hadn't begged" says Cecilia. Shield turns to Raid and glares. "How dare you make my master feel inferior to you! Apologize you spineless worm" says Shield. "But I didn't-" starts Raid. Shield scoffs. "And yet no apology. You're such a dog. Master, I say we ditch him. I shall protect you-" starts Shield. "I can't ditch him. I'm going to marry him someday" says Cecilia. Shield looks even angrier at Raid. "How dare you think you're good enough for my master you maggot-" starts Shield. "I didn't-" starts Raid. Shield scoffs again. "A dog like you deserves to be put down. Now shame on you. Apologize" says Shield. Raid goes to speak. "Suggestion, simply apologize, so she stops. She tends to rant a lot" says Spear. "Yes ma'am, sorry ma'am" says Raid. "There! Now master, you see he could never be the man you need. He has no backbone" says Shield. "I beg your pardon, but I don't need you criticising my decisions in men. I summoned you for a specific reason" says Cecilia. "Aren't you being a little harsh-" starts Raid. "Don't you correct my master! Anything she deems correct is so, got that" asks Shield. Raid sighs. "Yes ma'am" says Raid. "Enough Shield. You are to protect Raid in his own stead. I don't want anything to happen to him. He's important to me. Spear is going to stay here to protect me, is that clear" asks Cecilia. "I would be prefer to stay at your side master, but I will follow your order. Come maggot. Let's go" says Shield. Raid and sighs as Shield starts dragging him away. Winter and Vic take a break, and Vic tosses his bag of powder up in down in his hand. "I've got a question for you? Why do you do what you do" asks Winter. "Who knows. Maybe I enjoy the rush, maybe I need the money...or maybe I just don't want to be forgotten" says Vic. "Forgotten" asks Winter. "My old man always feared one thing his whole life, that he'd be forgotten. Guess that's genetic. It's always been my biggest fear that I'm going to die, and just be forgotten. Never do anything BIG in my life" says Vic. "So you make illegal powders to get known? Doesn't sound like good publicity" says Winter. "No such thing as bad publicity" says Vic. "Oh really? Where has it gotten you? You went to prison, haven't become known, or done anything great" says Winter. "Ouch. That tongue is about as sharp as those ice spikes of yours" says Vic. Winter roles her eyes. "So, what's your story then? How'd you end up here" asks Vic. "The short version, my boyfriend should really learn to read a job before he takes it" says Winter. "So, you got a boyfriend huh? What's he like" asks Vic. "Why do you care" asks Winter. "Alpha dog thing. Just want to make sure he isn't better than me" says Vic sarcastically. "He's nice, handsome, and very empathetic" says Winter. "That's bland. What about details. Who is he, how'd you guys meet, how does he treat you" asks Vic. "That's not really any of your business. Who I date is my business" says Winter. "Ouch, touchy aren't you. Don't be like that frosty" says Vic. "Look, I just want to finish this, so I can find him" says Winter. "Where is he" asks Vic. "He got injured, and we told him to sit still, but...I just have this feeling he's out doing something he's not supposed too" says Winter. Vic shrugs. "Sure, let's go drop Scruffy off, and we'll look for Mr. Perfect together" says Vic. "No thanks" says Winter as she starts walking away. Meanwhile, Crush looks like he's in bad shape against his opponent. "What's wrong? Little dog lose its fangs? Why don't you just give up already" asks Eno. Crush clenches his fist. "I think you should run" says Rela from Crush's pocket. Crush shakes his head. Rela looks at the determination in Crush's eyes. "I haven't even used my full power yet. You're master is too easy on you" says Eno. Crush's fist clench harder. Eno whips Crush with a whip. "Aren't you done yet? The pain stops when you do" says Eno. Crush shakes his head, and gets back into a fighting position. "I'm not sure what exactly you're fighting for. You should listen to the pixie and just run. The hunt is always fun" says Eno. Rela gasp. "He saw me" she says scaredly. Crush gives her a reassuring look. "Tell you what. Since you've held up so long, I'll let you live, and in return, you give me the pixie. I'm sure a slave like that would be high market value" says Eno. Crush shakes his head, and takes off his jacket, placing it, and Rela safely on the ground. "Why fight for it? You don't even know it" says Eno. Rela pokes her head out of the jacket pocket, and sees Crush rush up, only to be knocked down to the ground, and the guy slamming his foot on Crush's neck. "Come on, if you're going to fight, don't hold back! You are boring me to death" says Eno. Eno whips Crush a few times, and Crush winces in pain. Rela watches as tears roll down her face. Meanwhile, Alyn and the girl stand there panting as the man from before swings around a flail. "You guys are really easy to figure out, the big guy runs out of stamina fast, and the small girl runs out of mana fast. So damn predictable" says the guy. "I'm not just a smaw girw! My name is Whyah" says the girl. "The hell kinda name is Whyah" asks the guy. "Not Whyah! Whyah! R-Y-A-H" says the girl. "So, your name is Ryah" asks Alyn. He has a quick flashback of a woman with long grey hair, with Ryah's face. "That is cowect master cwub weiwder" says Ryah. "We need to change our strategy up" says Alyn. Ryah nods. "Awow me to fight awone. I can handwe him" says Ryah. "But we couldn't even fight as 2! There's no way one of us alone can take him" says Alyn. "He's puwing off yowr magic! The cwoser he gets to you, the stwongew his magic gets" says Ryah. Alyn looks displeased. "Bwack keys specificawy twained fow theiw fight wif the diamond keys" says Ryah. "How do you know" asks Alyn. The guy smiles. "You know, you're one tricky little bitch. I thought you were a normal human, but you're actually that diamond key I was sent to kill" says the guy. Ryah doesn't respond. "Wait, then that must mean-" starts Alyn. "No time to expwain" says Ryah. "You owe me an explanation after this" says Alyn. "I owe noffing" says Ryah. Alyn glances at her for a moment. "I'll leave this fight to you as per your request, but we will talk after this" says Alyn. "Wight" says Ryah. Alyn steps back. (Alyn's inner monologue) "Is it really her? After all these years"

Episode 8

Raid is limping along, and Shield scoffs at him. "Did I do something wrong" asks Raid. "Yes, you're inconvinencing my master because you can't just stay there and defend her" says Shield. Raid says nothing. "Honestly, you're a nothing but a bother, but you're a bother my master cares about, so try not to act so recklessly. When we get there, I want you to stay behind me as much as possible. My barrier shall protect us both" says Shield. Raid nods. The approach a pile of dark key corpses, and Raid looks over to see a blonde haired person in golden armor fighting several dark keys. "We have to help" says Raid. "My job isn't to protect them, it's to protect you-" starts Shield. Raid puts on his sunglasses, and disappears. "What the-Get back here maggot" says Shield. Raid appears behind a building, takes a deep breath and rushes out. "Hey! Come get someone on your own level" says Raid. The dark keys turn to Raid and start rushing at him. He shoots them down one by one, but soon he's surrounded. "Idiot" yells Shield. She puts a barrier around Raid. "Requip magic, special move, swinging slash" says a familiar voice. The black keys all fall to the ground dead, and Raid looks to see the person in armor standing there. "Oh, it's you. You have my gratitude once again" she says. "Uh, do I know you" asks Raid. "Ah, I suppose you wouldn't recognize me as a girl. Allow me to help" she says. She grabs her hair, and hides half of it, then covers her chest with her other arm. Raid still looks confused. "It's me, Jitso" says the girl. "Huh? That guy from the princess job" asks Raid. "Indeed (kneels and grabs Raid's hand). You have saved my friend, and now saved my very life. I believe this to be fate. I am of the marrying age now" says Jitso. "But...I'm not into guys" Raid says. Jitso laughs. "Ah, you're funny to boot. Yes, I could see you as a great father for our children" says Jitso. "Uh, I'm already-" starts Raid. Jitso grabs Raid and pulls him in close. "Now then, I have claimed you as my husband. We may be from different guilds, but it will only serve to benefit both guilds. Oh, I've waited so long for-" starts Jitso. "But I already-" starts Raid. Jitso grabs Raid's hands. "Worry not dear. As a woman of noble birth, I shall handle everything. Now, I must be going. There could be more people in need of aid. I shall come to your guild hall after this terrible mess is over (kisses Raid on the cheek) farewell dear" says Jitso as she happily runs away. "Wait I-" starts Raid. "How dare you cheat on my master after I saved your pathetic hide" says Shield. "I didn't-" starts Raid. "Honestly, how low can one man be anyways" asks Shield. "But I-" starts Raid. "Let's get back to master already" says Shield. Raid sighs. "Yes ma'am" says Raid as he follows behind Shield. Meanwhile, Red, Garrett and Jasmine are walking when suddenly, a fireball flies at Red. She quickly dodges, and looks over to see Mako standing there. "You really shouldn't have told that doorman your name" says Mako. Red clenches her fist, and Garrett readies his futuristic gun. "You better leave Mako! Emilia Tachworth is dead" says Red. "Oh no, she's very much alive. Now, what do you think would happen if our dear parents found out their daughter was still alive" asks Mako. Red narrows her eyes. "I have to say, I'm very disappointed sis. Joining a rag tag guild, visiting Sebastian on a regular basis, dating a worthless nobody, letting your talents go to waste-" starts Mako. "Shut up! I love Fairy Tail! I love Sebastian! And most importantly, I love my darling" Red says in anger. "Oh I already know that. The way you drool over him, it makes me sick" says Mako. "If you tell anyone I'm alive, it will create more problems for you than it would me. You'd lose your precious fortune, doubt about the family would settle in with the nobles" says Red. "True, but that's not what I'm here about, you see, it's come to my attention that people still think Sebastian is the rightful heir to the family-" starts Mako. "What do you plan on doing to him" Red asks angrily. "You see, that's the beautiful part. I'm not doing anything to him, you're going to kill him for me, make it look like an accident, or suicide, or, I kill that little boyfriend of yours. Maybe put him through the same shit you had too as a little girl. I wonder if he can take it like a champ like you did" says Mako. "YOU LEAVE HIM ALONE" yells Red. "What's it going to be "Red". You're brother, or the man you love" asks Mako. Red starts crying. "Please Mako! Don't make me make a choice like that" says Red. "Please, you know damn well I don't care about you, or Sebastian, or Mio. I worked my ass off to get where I am, and I'll be damned if I let SEBASTIAN just come back after all this time and fuck it all up" says Mako. A water blast slams into Mako. "Hey asshole, don't make a girl cry. Especially in front of me" says Vic as he and Winter walk up. "Bastard! You're nothing but criminal scum" says Mako. "That's true, I'm scum, a real asshole, but you? You're worse than scum. What kind of asshole makes a girl cry, especially in the midst of all this? I have half a mind to kick your ass" says Vic. "How dare you talk to me like that! I'm a member of the Tachworth family" says Mako as he summons a giant golem made of fire. "A little piece of advice, don't let someone who only wants to be known know that you're famous" says Vic as he holds out a bow made of water. "Water sniper" says Vic as he fires an arrow at the golem and it disappears. "Fuck you! Fuck you! FUCK YOU!" yells Mako as he holds up his hand. "Fire meteor rain" yells Mako. "Water barrier" says Vic as he holds up his hand and a barrier made of water shrouds them. The fire meteors hit the barrier, but are ineffective. Vic lets the barrier fall, and Mako is gone. "Damn. The sqiurly bastard made a break for it. Damn spoiled rich punk" says Vic. "Thanks Vic. Maybe you aren't such a bad guy after all" says Winter. "Nope. I'm the same asshole you know and love" says Vic sarcastically. Winter walks up to Red. "Are you okay" asks Winter. Red doesn't say anything. "Come on, you need to be strong. You need to find Raid. I know we're both worried about him" says Winter. Red nods. "This Raid guy, that Mr. Perfect" asks Vic. "I told you to stop calling him that" says Winter. "Sorry Frosty, no can do" says Vic. "You would be correct. Darling is perfect in every way" says Red happily. "Darling? Wait, who's boyfriend is he exactly" asks Vic. "Uh...both of ours" says Winter in embarrassment. "Oh my, how scandalous" says Jasmine. "Sounds like Mr. Perfect is actually a horndog" says Vic with a cocky smile. "Shut up! He is not! We forced him into this" says Winter. "So, you're saying he's just a push over" Vic asks in a cocky tone. "Why the hell are you always so infuriating" asks Winter. "What can I say? It just comes with my roughish charm" says Vic sarcastically. "Could...you do me a favor? I'm going to look for darling, I need you to take these people to safety" says Red. "What? Going to look for Mr. Perfect without us" asks Vic. "I need him in my arms. I'm so worried about him. I need to know he's safe" says Red. Winter nods. "Just find him K, and take care of yourself" says Winter. Red nods and rushes off. "You know, all sarcasm aside, I'm glad you guys have found someone who makes you happy. It's an important thing to have in this lifetime" says Vic. "Did you ever have anyone like that" asks Winter. "A rouge like me? Nah. I had me and my siblings" says Vic. "You have siblings" asks Winter. "It's not important. Come on, let's get these two back to safety so we can help look for Mr. Perfect" says Vic with a smile. Winter laughs. "I hate you" she says with laugh. Meanwhile, Lily is walking with teens, when suddenly, a black key with green hair, glasses, and a skull mask on the right side of his face walks up. "Stand back. This one is stronger than the others" says Conny. "Worry not. I don't intend to fight you, but there is a necromancer in the area whom you will encounter quite soon" says the black key. "Wait? You're not attacking? Why not" asks Burke. "All I want is freedom. As long as I'm not denied that, I'm content to live and let live" says the black key. Then, a hand is placed on Burkes shoulder. He spins around and his jaw drops. "S-Sally" asks Burke. "This is the work of the necromancer I spoke of. Step aside" says the black key. "Don't you dare touch her! I won't let you kill-" starts Burke. "One cannot kill that which is dead. However, I have no intention of doing so" says the black key as he walks up to Sally and materializes a necklace. He gently puts it on her, and she falls unconcious. "Bastard what'd you-" starts Burke. "She will be fine. This necklace will allow her to live, as a normal human would, however, if she were to take this necklace off, she will perish" says the black key. The black key simply walks away without another word. "Da heck was dat" asks Hale. "It was totes strange" says Jenny. "Whatever. We need to keep going" says Ace. Meanwhile, Crush rushes up and slams his fist into Eno. Eno falls back. "Ha! Guess I have no choice! Now you'll find out why they call me the beastmaster" says Eno. He whistles, and a huge demon dog tackles Crush to the ground, and scratches Crush's chest open with it's sharp claws. Crush struggles, but can't move. "Now! Be a good slave and give up" says Eno. Crush shakes his head, and looks at Rela. "I-I-I have to save him" Rela yells as she flies out of Crush's pocket. "Pixie needles" says Rela. She shoots two needles or light into the dogs eyes, and it flinches. Crush quickly throws the dog off, but grabs his chest in pain. "We have to run" says Rela. Crush has a flashback. (Flashback) Shadow Raid walks up to Celestial Crush, who's covered in scratches and bruises. "Hey there, are you okay? You need a hand" asks Raid as he offers his hand. Crush pushes Raid's hand away. Raid grabs Crush's arm and puts it over his shoulder, then starts helping him along. Crush looks at Raid. "I know you don't want my help, but I'm giving it anyways. You're hurt badly" says Raid. Crush does nothing, but then a spirit with a crown walks up. "Release my slave shadow. It is my property" says the spirit. "He doesn't belong to anyone. Not anymore" says Raid. Crush looks at Raid disbelievingly. (Flashback jumps forward). Crush is patched up, and laying on a moss bed. "Here in a few days, you should be well enough to leave. Then you can go wherever. Nowhere around here is really a good place to be, but I aim to change that" says Raid. Crush tilts his head. "I'm going to break several celestial laws to go to the human world, and stop a war. Maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to make this place better with my actions" says Raid. Crush nods, and offers his hand. "No, I couldn't ask you to-" starts Raid. Crush narrows his eyes. "No, I suppose I didn't ask you did I, but wouldn't you rather enjoy your freedom" asks Raid. Crush smiles. "I see, then I gladly accept your help" says Raid. (Flashback ends) Crush smiles to himself. "Are you okay" asks Rela. Crush stands up, and his wings fly from his back. "Finally going all out huh" asks Eno. Crush charges forward, and Eno lashes Crush with his whip several times, but Crush ignores the pain, and delivers a hard blast to Eno's nose, knocking him unconcious. "Are you okay, you're bleeding pretty-" starts Rela. Crush falls down to the ground, and gives a thumbs up. "I think you're shirt is done for" says Rela. Crush looks down at his shirt, and sees a lot of blood and rips. He looks disappointed and closes his eyes. Meanwhile, Alyn watches as Ryah dodges an onslaught of bullets from the guys gun. "You can't dodge forever! Give up and die" yells the guy. (Alyn's inner monologue) "Perhaps I was wrong. Maybe it's not her after-". Rela stops, and takes a deep breath. The metal once again surrounds her body. "Haven't we already established that won't work" asks the guy. "Secwet awt! Wequip, cannon" says Ryah. A huge cannon appears on her shoulder. "What the hell" asks the guy. "Fiwe" says Ryah. She fires, and the recoil sends her flying back, but the metal stops her from being hurt. The cannonball slams into the guys gut, and he likes, then the metal forms around Ryah's fist to make metal boxing gloves, she runs over and uppercuts the guy, and the guy falls unconcious. "So, is it really you" asks Alyn. Ryah doesn't respond. "You're name, that voice, and that technique, after all these years, I finally found you" says Alyn. "I'm sowwy, I-" starts Ryah. "Why did you do it? Why did you leave? We needed you, and you...just left" says Alyn. "I have my weasons" says Ryah. "So what now" asks Alyn. "You get to safety. I wiw fight the dawk keys" says Ryah. "You aren't my sensei anymore. I'm going too, but once this is over, I still have questions" says Alyn. "I may not have the answews you seek" says Ryah. Meanwhile, The demon is walking past a huge crowd of dark keys, until he reaches a spirit that is shrouded in darkness, except his face (with the exception of some lines on his cheeks) and his long greyish white hair. "Well if it isn't the reaper himself" says the demon. The reaper scoffs. "What" asks the reaper. The demon smiles, oh nothing. Just THIS" says the demon. His demon claw slashes the reaper across the chest. The other black keys ready themselves for battle, but the reaper holds up his hand. "No. This is my battle" says the reaper. "Getting cocky on me are you" asks the demon. "No. You are simply an opponent that I feel I should handle myself. Maybe it's my purpose to fight you today" says the reaper as he readies his sword. "Purpose eh? Sounds a little uncharacteristic for a black key" says the demon. "You and I both know we are not like other black keys" says the reaper. The demon smiles. "Well, let's make this fun" says the demon as he readies his claw. Then the two rush at each other ready to clash.

Episode 9

Raid and Shield get back to Cecilia and Spear, and Cecilia runs up and gives Raid a hug. "I'm glad you're back. I was so worried" says Cecilia. "You need never worry master. As long as I am around, I shall protect you and those you care about, even if it just so happens to be a slimy maggot" says Shield. "Well done Cecilia. I praise your efforts, yours too Spear. Your actions helped me greatly" says Cecilia. Shield smiles. "Oh this could just be the happiest day of our lives Spear! Master praised us" says Cecilia. "Affirmative" says Spear. Cecilia closes their gates, and they disappear. "It was quite draining to keep two gates open at once" says Cecilia. "I'm sorry" says Raid. Cecilia grabs Raid's hand and puts her forehead against his. "You're the reason I didn't give up wanting to live. Of course I could do at least that for you. Of course, if you did want to thank me, I can think of something I'd like as a reward" says Cecilia. "What's that" asks Raid. Cecilia gives him a kiss. "That" she says. Raid turns away. "F-forgive my forwardness" says Cecilia. "You shouldn't care about a guy just because he saved your life" says Raid. Cecilia walks up and hugs Raid from behind. "It's so much more than that. I can't even begin to put it into words, and besides, even if it were just that, I would still feel the same" says Cecilia. Raid says nothing. "I'm a princess remember? I'm very good at knowing what I want" Cecilia says in a joking tone. "I...I'm already in a relationship though, with multiple people actually. Even though it was something I wasn't given a choice in, I still care for them, and I don't want to hurt them, but I really don't want to hurt you either. Especially now of all times" says Raid. Cecilia says nothing. "How...does that work" asks Cecilia. "I'm not sure. We just make it work" says Raid. Cecilia tightly clenches Raid's shirt. "I-I still have feelings for you, but if you think it's best that I not, I'll bottle them up" says Cecilia as she starts crying. "It's not that, you're feelings are actually really sweet, but I don't want to hurt you, or them-" starts Raid. "Then take me as well! I was already prepared to marry a man who has multiple wives anyways, but now, it's someone I chose! Someone I actually care about! I take back what I said! I can't burry my feelings! Please, don't make me! Don't ask me to do something impossible! I am madly in love with you, and would do anything to be in your arms" says Cecilia. "But you're a princess-" starts Raid. Cecilia takes off the pin on her shirt that shows she's nobility, and the crown on her head, and tosses them both away. Not anymore. As far as I'm concerned, the princess died alongside her father today" says Cecilia. "You can't do that! You have a kingdom to run" says Raid. "I'm not worthy of the crown. I don't know politics, I don't know how to govern the masses, or what to do in a crisis. I follow my heart to much, and when it comes to running a kingdom, it's always best if you follow your head instead" says Cecilia. Raid doesn't say anything. "Please! I'll so anything! Just don't reject my feelings (sniffles) I-I just couldn't take it" says Cescream. Raid sighs. "Man, they're going to kill me" says Raid. Meanwhile Winter finally gets Garrett, Jasmine, Vic and Scruffy to the safe area. Winter and Vic walk up to Elora. "How is that kid? The one with the injured leg" says Vic. "I'm afraid she's not well. She lost her parents right before her eyes...and what's worse...we found a doctor, but her leg...it had to be amputated" says Elora. Winter looks so sad. "I-I-" starts Winter as she starts crying. "It's okay. You did everything you could Frosty" says Vic. "Would you like to see her? She's been wanting to meet the people who saved her life" says Elora. Winter wiped away her tears and nods. Elora leads them to the remains of building, where the injured are being treated. "It's you! It's you! It's really you" says the girl. "Uh, hi. I'm Winter" says Winter. "Woooow. That's such a pretty name" says the girl. Winter elbows Vic. "I'm Vic" says Vic. "I'm Ledy" says the little girl. "It's very nice to meet you" says Winter. "Thank you for saving me" says Ledy. "I-I just wish I could have saved more of you" says Winter. Ledy looks down at her missing leg. "It's alright, cause the doctor says that it would have bad to keep it. I just (sniffles) I just, I miss my mommy" says Ledy as she starts crying. Winter quickly hugs her. "I'm all alone now" says Ledy. "No! I won't let you be alone! I'll take care of you" says Winter. "Hey frosty, don't be hasty-" starts Vic. "I-I've made up my mind. Ledy, I know this is a bit sudden, but how would you feel about coming to live with me" asks Winter. Ledy looks away. "I-I dunno" says Ledy. Vic walks up to Ledy. "You know kid, I lost my mom when I was young too. My dad went to jail, and I haven't seen him since. I know this is a big change for you, but hang in there. For now, just let the doctor take care of you" says Vic. Ledy nods. "If you're good, I'll get you a lollipop afterwards. That's what my dad used to do for me" says Vic. "I love lollipops" says Ledy. "It's settled then" says Vic. Meanwhile, Alyn and Ryah walk along. (Alyn has a flashback) A much younger looking Alyn swings a sword. "No no. That's now wight. Youw putting too much fowce into each swing. You must wearn contwol" says a taller version of Ryah with longer hair, and fancy armor on. "Y-yes ma'am" says Alyn. "Oh welax. Youw doing fine. I guawantee youw going to be numbew one at the touwnament" says Ryah. "Th-thank you ma'am" says Alyn. Ryah smiles. "Youw aways so sewious. Wighten up a wittle. I've waised you since you wewe thwee, you don't have to be so fowmal" says Ryah. "Yes ma'am, I mean, Ryah" says Alyn. (Flashback jumps forward). Alyn runs up to Ryah. "Hey! I won! I won" says Alyn. "I knew you couwd! Wets go get ice cweam to cewebrate" says Ryah. (Flashback jumps forward) Alyn walks out of an alley and sees Ryah talking to some guy. He decides to eavesdrop. "You can't send him! I won't awow it" says Ryah. "You, don't get a say in the matter, and neither does he. As a black key, it's his duty to-" starts the guy. "I'm going to the cewestal king" says Ryah. (Flashback jumps forward). Ryah looks exhausted, and Alyn walks up to her. "Good wuck today. If you win this match, you wiw become a high wanking diamond key someday" says Ryah. "Are you alright? You aren't looking so good" says Alyn. "I'm fine. Wew go get ice cweam again once you win" says Ryah. "I'm not a big anymore Ryah" says Alyn. "Awight, but the offew is stiw open" says Ryah. After the battle, Alyn walks to where Ryah always waits, but she's not there. "Ryah? Ryah? Where are you" asks Alyn. (Flashback ends, Alyn's inner monologue) "She disappeared after that. I had never seen her again, not until today". Ryah stops, and readies her metal gear. "What's the matter" asks Alyn. "I-Its noffing. Let's just continue" says Ryah. She goes to walk, but Alyn stops her. "How do I know I can trust you" asks Alyn. Ryah stays silent for a moment. "I thought I senseed an enemy, but it's no wonger awound" says Ryah. "Only because I masked my presence" says a voice from behind. Ryah quickly jumps in front of Alyn, but Alyn moves in front of her. "I'm strong enough to handle myself" says Alyn. "But-" starts Ryah. "Watch my back" says Alyn. "As you wish, mastew cwup weiwder" says Ryah reluctantly
