sorry this is so short but I'm doing a battle next chapter also I forgot to put Alice in the plan so I added her here.

Marucho's plane did a flyover the dojo he wanted to land but I wouldn't let him, I left grandfather a note so he knew where I was, so I was on the roof so he couldn't land like he wanted to and wake grandfather I used my favourite toy, my grappling hook, to hook to the plane and flew off dangling from the rope for a few seconds before climbing up it. I entered through the plane door and walked over to the couch Marucho had in the centre of his plane everyone was spread out across the curved couch I stood in the corner by the window enjoying the peacefulness of the sky stretched out before me everything looked so calm I could get lost in my thoughts here "master Marucho is there anything I can get you and your guests" a voice came through the intercom I immediately recognised it as Kato Marucho's butler/pilot "no thank you Kato everyone's fine" Marucho called back through the intercoms mouthpiece "understood sir" Kato answered then switched off the intercom. "would anyone like to play a game there isn't an in-flight movie" Marucho smiled at everyone Julie grinned and nodded furiously, Runo looked like she didn't mind and Alice agreed as well, everyone's attention turned to me and I pretended to not understand what they meant, "well Shun do you want to play?" Alice asked me a small smile appearing on her face I glanced at Skyress who was perched on my shoulder and she nodded indicating that she wanted me to go along with it and play, "fine"

The game was tortuous it was hours of eye spy we're in a plane above the clouds there was only so many things you could spy before you went insane "is it a pillow?" Julie asked, this was one of the long rounds "nope…" Marucho answered simply "wait, was it, I don't know… I don't remember." there was a loud groan and the last two to actually enjoy the game gave in and slumped on the couch like the rest of them, I however stayed firmly planted by the window. Watching as the buildings filled in the small gaps in the clouds, "attention everyone we have arrived in Germany." Kato's voice broke the awkward silence that had fallen over the plane and a sigh of relief could be heard coming from each of them I smiled inwardly at the knowledge that if this worked then I would be free of them forever Skyress noticed this and was about to question me about it when the plane started to land.

They were all surprisingly exited when we got off the plane I can only guess that it was because they hadn't been to Germany before I seemed to be the only one actually focused on the job at hand. I glanced at their faces and saw how anxious and nervous Runo appeared to be, "looks like you're not the only one looking forwards to this whole episode ending." Skyress commented when she noticed Runo I nodded at her statement not really paying attention. I mindlessly followed them to consumed with my thoughts to pay attention to where we were heading.

Before I knew it we were in front of a huge castle it looked very posh and old, there was a frozen lake near the castle and Julie was staring at it excitement evident on her face "can we go ice skating later?" she practically begged clearly she wasn't focused on our mission I sighed and Marucho shuck his head "no we can't Julie I think we have more pressing issues than that right now." the excitement left Julies face "yea like finding Dan." Runo added giving Julie a slight glare "let's not fight guys like Runo said we need to find Dan." Alice ever the peace maker piped up and as usual everyone agreed with her. Bored of listening to them I walked towards the castle. They immediately noticed my absence much to my surprise and ran after me "wait up Shun what's the rush?" Julie asked earning another glare from Runo "oh right… you must be really worried about Dan yea." I sighed at how naive she was I just wanted to get this over with I wasn't in the slightest bit worried about Dan… well maybe the tiniest part of was worried.

When we were all in position Alice (she was the organiser) contacted us and made sure we all knew exactly what we were doing we had one chance to do this there was no room for mistakes once we had all confirmed that we understood completely we started.

We had all agreed to keep regular updates so we didn't make any stupid mistakes and so far everything was going as planned Julio and Klaus were going after Julie and Runo leaving the area they were meant to be watching completely exposed allowing us to slip through unnoticed. The security cameras that were scanning further down the hall weren't a problem either because I grabbed Marucho and dashed through there before the senses even faced our direction. "Thanks Shun." Marucho mumbled looking up to me readjusting his glasses, they had been dislodged from their usual resting place when we were running through the cameras, I nodded in acknowledgement and peered around the corner when I saw no one there I motioned for Marucho to follow. We made it down another 3 halls and were so close to finishing our mission when Komba stepped into our line of sight I had no idea he had been taken as well I knew that Klaus was but not Komba "if you think I'm gonna just let you waltz right in there and take Kuso after all the trouble masquerade went through to get him you got another thing coming." Komba stated holding his field card out "Marucho let me handle him I know his strategies his moves I can beat him. Easy." I told him pulling my card out as well "let's make this a 1 on 1 battle Komba." He nodded in reply "field open." We called I saw Marucho try to get in to the battle before the time freeze got him but unfortunately for him he was to slow.
