News has spread upon the whole land, Jan has taken down an entire kingdom by his own hand. Jan
was sitting on the outer walls of Parousia and looking down, he had no idea what emotion to let out. As he thinks, he let out a big sigh.
"Hey, what's the matter?" said a female voice.
"Hm?" said Jan, seeing it was Eurydice, "Oh, hey Eurydice. What are you doing here?"
"I was going to ask you the same question. Besides you shouldn't be here in a mopey mood. You're a hero! You conquered an entire kingdom!"
"Yeah, I know that. It's just that I'm supposed to be exicted and happy yet for some odd reason, I can't."
Eurydice decided to leave Jan in his time of solitude but left a few words.
"You know, I wonder what Abelia would think of what you did?"
"Yeah, me too." said Jan.
Eurydice then left and Jan still sat there for ten minutes. Suddenly, he realized somthing.
"Wait a second! What HAPPENED to Abelia?!" said Jan.
Jan then rushed to the letter communication post.
"Excuse me, sir!" said Jan, out of breath.
"Hey! You're the guy that took down Maletta!" said the letter man.
"Not now. Has there been any reports of what happened in Dalkia?"
"No, sorry sir. Communications in Dalkia have been cut off."
"Geh!" said Jan as he ran out of the post.
Jan hurried off to Strife's castle where everyone was celebrating the victory over Maletta. Jan pushed the doors wide open, it had everybody's attention.
"Hey, it's Jan!" said Aeneas.
"Over here!" said Riese.
"Hmm?" said Girardot, looking at Jan's condition, "Jan, is there something wrong?"
Jan walked towards Girardot and looked at him with both eyes, with heavy breathing. Girardot then understood what Jan wanted.
"Looks like we have something waiting for us." said Girardot.
"Really? Where?" asked Eurydice.
"We will be heading off now."
"Huh?"
"Jan will tell you on the way."
"Girardot, get the horses ready." said Jan.
"Right then, but what about you?" said Girardot.
"I have some calls to put in."
After one hour, Jan and his unit left the walls of Grandall in a calvary of horses.
"Where are we going?" asked Riese.
"We're going to Dalkia." said Jan.
"EHH?! But we just got back!"
"Why do we need to go to Dalkia?" asked Ailian.
"I think it's because of what I said earlier." said Eurydice.
"What did you say?" said Kanon.
"Apparently, I told Jan what might Abelia think if she heard the news about Jan taking Maletta."
"I see. Who's Abelia?" said Leraje.
"Abelia was part of our unit until she was given the task of invading Dalkia while we were going to Maletta." said Meiga.
"Really now? How good is she?" asked Ailian.
"Abelia is one the top soldiers in Grandall." said Jinkai.
"And our toughest female on the battlefield." said Xiaoxin.
"She was also the second best of the academy." said Girardot.
"Who's the first?" asked Kanon.
"Our commander."
"Jan?! Really?!" said Ailain.
"But why would Jan care Abelia? She could take care of herself, right?" said Kanon.
"Well, no one has ever told us what has happened in Dalkia since we left for Maletta and I guess Jan is doing his "nice guy" antics again." said Girardot.
"That's typical." said Ailian.
Jan and his unit rode of to the land of Dalkia. Meanwhile, Abelia was near the capital of Dalkia. Unfortunately, she had five obstacles in her way, the Klessirpemdo. Abelia was starting to lose her breath.
"The captial...of Dalkia. So close...Damn you, Roin. I can't...move an...y...further..."
Abelia staggered backwards and was about to fall. The she was caught and a familiar voice blurred in her ears. A blurry figure was in front of her.
"Abelia! Are you alright?"
"Uh, Jan? Is...that you?"
Abelia's eyes cleared to see it was Jan.
"AHHHH!!! Jan! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" said Abelia, with shock and anger. Abelia then made a few small punches at Jan.
"Hey, Abelia. Is that any way thank someone who just came here with any direct order?" said Girardot.
"Oh, General Girardot!"
"Have your thanks for Jan. He just called us in to chrage off to help you."
Abelia then walked towards Jan and stood her ground.
"You!"
"Huh?"
"I never asked you to...to rescue me..."
"Oh brother. Abelia, what happened to the rest of your unit?" said Girardot.
Abelia stayed silent.
"I see. Well, you have done good handling this all by yourself. Hmm, so that's it? Only five strongholds?"
"Before it was not that difficult but those girls have tightened up the place." said Abelia.
"Those...girls?" said Aeneas.
"The ones we faced in the outer walls of Dalkia. The leader is that pink-haired swordsman."
"Luna?" said Riese.
"Yeah, her."
"Well we're this close to Dalkia. Why not give it a shot?" said Jan.
"Yeah!"
"Abelia?"
"Fine with me."
"Hey, did you hear the news?" said Riese.
"What?" said Abelia.
"Jan conquered Maletta. He defeated the king and his best soldiers."
Abelia stood silent and dropped her sword.
"Uh, Abelia?" said Jan.
Abelia's anger grew very large it could be noticed by everyone.
"Her anger is showing off huge waves." said the SoulCalibur.
"You!!"
"A-Abelia?"
"You. You have done something that I wanted to succeed in!! How could someone like you do something where I can't even reach!?!?!?!?!"
As Abelia was expressing her enormus anger, Luna was watching in the fortress leading to the capital of Dalkia.
"So you've come Jan." said Luna, "I will guruantee this. I'll defeat you once and for all, because I have something that will finally destroy you."
The SoulCalibur then sensed something.
"Hmm?"
"What is it?" said Jan.
"I sense an amazing energy coming from the fifth fortress."
"You don't think it's the Soul Edge, do you?"
"No, this one seems familiar."
"Familiar?"
"Hey, Jan! I'm not done with you yet!" yelled Abelia, still angry while being held back by Eurydice and Riese.
"Hey, let's just work on defeating Dalkia and the we can work this all out." said Eurydice.
Abelia then lowered the temper.
"Fine then."
"Whew, glad that's over. All right, let's move out!" said Jan.
"Right!"
Luna then noticed Jan and his unit moving towards her and the strongholds before her.
"All right, elite of Dalkia! Forces of Creation! Show no mercy!!" yelled Luna.
The battle of Jan's unit and the Klessirpemdo was about to begin. Jan's unit made inside the first stronghold. As they went in, fire started to rise.
"Wha-what is this? Fire?" said Riese, "But how?"
"You have finally come." said a female voice.
"Who's that?" said Eurydice staring at the figure behind the fire. It was revealed to be Lupi.
"Hey, it's that lance lady." said Aeneas.
"My name is Lupi, the Fires of Hell!" she proclaimed.
"Jan, mind if I take this one?" asked Aeneas.
"Be my guest." said Jan.
"Thanks." said Aeneas, walking in the firey battlefield.
"Jan! It's too dangerous to stay here!" said Girardot.
Suddenly, the floor raised Jan and the others to a high view of Lupi and Aeneas' fight. The moment Aeneas stepped in the floor, the fire raised preventing any escape for either Aeneas or Lupi.
"This will decide who is better, a fight to the death!" said Lupi, "But there is a huge difference."
"And what would that be?" asked Aeneas, getting himself ready.
"This area is my specialty!" said Lupi. Then Lupi's black lance was bursting on fire.
"Whoa! Her lance is bursting with flames!" said Xiaoxin, "but how is she not affected by it?"
"It's the Power of the Soul." said the SoulCalibur.
"Power of the Soul?" said Jan.
"It's the same energy power that I use when weilded. That's why you can be impervious to the fire from your attacks."
"You're right. I didn't feel anything from the Soul of Fire. But how can Aeneas beat her?"
"Apparently, the powers she has been given, I believe, is the ability to paralize your enemy and go though their defenses."
"So that means you can block with your hands or weapons?"
"Precisely."
"Oh, man. Aeneas! Avoid her every attack! She will paryalize you!"
"How can she do that?!" yelled Aeneas.
"Trust me! She has an mysterious power in that lance!" Jan yelled back.
"This sounds crazy but I guess I'll go with it."
"Dropped your guard!" said Lupi, charging a slice.
Aeneas jumped back and got minimum damage but can feel the fire hurting his chest.
"Aeneas!" said Riese, "Can't we do something?!"
"Unfortunately, no." said Abelia.
"She's right. This platform is too high, we will die if we jump off and even if we manage to make it, we'll just get caught by the flames." said Meiga.
"So we're just gonna stand here and do nothing?" said Eurydice.
"It's all we can do." said Jan, "Besides, Aeneas can handle this. Just watch."
Everyone continued to look as Lupi and Aeneas clashed their lances back and forth. Aeneas couldn't stand the heat from Lupi's lance and started to walk backward while the fight continued. Lupi started to gain advantage backing Aeneas into a corner. Aeneas couldn't walk back anymore because he is against a wall. Lupi made a smirk and lunged her lance towards Aeneas' head. Aeneas ducked under which caused the lance to be stuck on the wall. Aeneas then hit the legs of Lupi causing her to fall and leave her weaponless. Aeneas was about to hit the final blow but Lupi managed to get her lance unstuck and hit Aeneas' left arm. Aeneas was feeling tremendous pain and was falling back until he fell off an edge and into a the firey pit.
"Aeneas!!" yelled Eurydice.
"NOO!" cried Riese.
"Jan, he lost." said Ailian.
Jan looked then made a small grin.
"Jan?" Why are you smiling?!" said Leraje.
"Look closely." said Jan.
They all looked and saw Lupi looking down in the pit where Aeneas fell.
"I have finally won!" she said raising her firey lance up high.
"Not yet you haven't!" yelled a voice.
"What?!"
Everyone then found Aeneas hanging on the edge with his injured arm.
"How could you have survive?!" Lupi yelled in disbelief.
With the emotional distraction, Aeneas then struck his lance into the waist of Lupi, resulting in Lupi falling back with a big wound in her stomach. Aeneas then pointed his lance at Lupi's face.
"I win." Aeneas said in a victoriuos manner.
"L-Lu-Luna. F-For...give...Me..."
Lupi then went unconscious. The platform holding Jan and the others down and so did the walls of fire.
"Aeneas! You did it!!" said Eurydice.
"Heheh, no problem." said Aeneas.
"I knew you wouldn't let a buddy down." said Jan.
"Thanks!!" said Aeneas, with a high-five.
The building started to rumble.
"Wh-what's going on?!" said Kanon.
"The whole building is falling apart! We gotta get outta here, now!!' said Girardot.
Everyone ran and made it out of the building before it collapsed.
"Whew! We made it!" said Riese.
"Looks like everyone made it." said Ailian.
"Yep, everyone." said Leraje looking at Jan and Aeneas.
Everyone then looked at Jan and Aeneas to find that the injured Lupi was lying on the ground behind them.
"WAAHH!" yelled Riese, "What is she doing here?!"
"Well, it would be a shame to leave her like that." said Jan.
"So we decided to bring her out of the building." said Aeneas.
"YOU IDIOT!!" said Abelia, "What are we going to do with a wounded Dalkian soldier?!"
"Uhhh...I guess we should have thought of that." said Jan.
"You can't think of anything at all!! How could someone like you take down a whole kingdom?!?!"
"Abelia, calm down..." said Eurydice.
"Hey Aeneas, you don't look so good." said Riese.
"The burns from the fight are starting to take in." said Aeneas.
"Kanon, Riese, Xiaoxin, Meiga. Stay and hold care for Aeneas' wounds. The rest move forward."
"Right!"
Jan and his unit moved on to the next stronghold. As they went in they found a place similar to a battle arena found in ports. Inside was Aege holding a Brutal Terra Iron Sword.
"You!" said Eurydice.
"So we meet again, Blonde one." said Aege.
"My name is Eurydice."
Well then, Eurydice. Would you like to face me once more?"
"Jan?"
"Go ahead." Jan said with a smile, "But don't die on me."
"I won't."
Eurydice stepped in the arena.
"So tell me. Who are you?"
"I am Aege! The "Earth of Foundation"!" she said then making a stomp that causing cage walls thick as rocks to rise.
"Cages?!"
"Jan, this another user of the Soul Power." said the SoulCalibur.
"Another one?" said Jan.
"Yes, but this one has a different power."
"What?"
"She seems to have some guardian force and the ability to summon quakes."
"Guardian Force? Quake?"
"The Guardian Force protects the user from many attacks. The user can still be hurt but only a little. The quakes are forces that can lose balance of the enemy leaving many open spots for the user to attack."
"Is there any way to beat them?"
"Yell, you need some very strong attacks to go through the Force and since the quakes first hit the feet, you need to jump to avoid it but it lead you even more open to the enemy."
"So there's no way to beat her?"
"We'll just have to look and see."
Eurydice and Aege started to fight. Eurydice made a giant swing but Aege was unaffected. Eurydice was about to charge but got hit by the first wave of quakes.
"Eurydice, avoid the quakes!" yelled Jan.
"How?" asked Eurydice, avoiding Aege's slashes.
"Jump!"
Eurydice jumped and avoided the quakes but left her open to an attack. Fortunately, Eurydice defended against the attack and managed to not recive any damage. Eurydice suddenly realized the battle situations and quickly made her move. She then ran and jumped high above and made a huge slice down onto Aege. The Force that surronded her then shattered.
"Hmm? The Force broke? How?" said Jan.
"If you looked at ground you could see a big quake was about to hit. By the time Eurydice hit the ground the quake started then Eurydice managed to use some of the quakes power unto her sword shattering the Force and because of that the quakes are now neutral."
"Neutral?"
"It can hit both of them."
"AGH! my Guardian Force! It's Gone!" said Aege, "Hmph, not bad but you still have a long way to beat me."
Then Aege then felt some pain on her.
"Guh! What-what is this? How did I get this pain?" said Aege.
"It seems the force is taking it effects." said Eurydice.
"No matter, I can still take you down."
Then a huge quake started to rumble. It erupted and only Eurydice dodged it with a jump while Aege, who had no idea about the neutral effects, got hit with immense damage. Aege screamed in pain. Eurydice saw her chance and stuck one giant blow. The blow cut Aege's breastplate in half and left her knocked out on the floor.
"N-no-not bad." said Aege before she fell.
The cage walls began to fall and the building began to rumble.
"This one is falling too! Everyone get out!" yelled Jan.
Eurydice grabbed the fallen Aege and catched up with everyone. They all managed to escape the collapsing buliding just in time.
"Everyone is alright." said Abelia, "Eurydice, did you have to bring her?"
"Well, um, sorry." said Eurydice.
"Hey, Eurydice. Your legs are hurt." said Jan.
"Hey, we missed it?" said Riese.
"Yep, Eurydice won this fight." said Jan with a smile, Abelia. Ailian. Can care for Eurydice while we head off to the next stronghold?"
"Why me?" asked Abelia.
"Well, you are Eurydice's best friend, aren't you?"
"Yes, but..."
"And didn't you score the highest in the medical and treatment lessons of the academy?"
"Well, yes...but..."
"And didn't you..."
"Alright! Alright! I'll stay!"
"Okay. We're off!"
"I swear, Jan and his..." mumbled Abelia.
Jan and the rest of his unit moved on to the middle stronghold. As they went in, they found themselves in an odd area. It was an outside port with a sunny weather.
"What the? We're outside?" said Riese.
"More of the Soul Power." said the SoulCalibur.
The winds started to increase and from the winds came the weilder of the Galeforce kunais, Elua.
"GAH! It's her!" said Meiga.
"I am Elua. The "Wind of Creation"." she said, "And...oh! Mister Samurai!"
"Looks like you're her opponent." said Jan.
"But why me?" asked Meiga.
"Because she called you."
"Argh, fine."
Meiga then stepped into the center of the port.
"Luna says I cannot let anyone pass even if it's you." said Elua.
"We'll looks like you're going to disappoint because I'm gonna win this." said Meiga.
"Oh, don't think you're going to win this time."
"Hmm?"
"This area is my specialty!"
The winds started to increase moving Meiga south where there is an edge with a seemigly bottomless pit.
"Now don't fall off, or else I can't get you." said Elua.
"I like I want to get caught by someone like her." thought Meiga, "I have to beat her fast!"
Meiga then ran but because of the wind he could move the same speed of walking. Meiga saw this and tried to run faster but only made his speed move only a centimeter more. Elua was starting to giggle and it made Meiga more furious.
"No more time for laughs. Time to get serious." said Elua.
She then disappeared and appeared from the sky. Meiga couldn't have a chance of avoiding so his sword and Elua's kunais clashed. Meiga then pushed Elua out to the falling edge. The winds then increased in speed and pushed her back to the port.
"You can't defeat me that easily. This is my specialty, Silly!" said Elua.
"Damn!" said Meiga, "How can I beat her? The winds are pushing me back and pushing her up. Wait...that's it!"
"I don't know what you are thinking but it's useless."
Elua then charged in a fast speed Meiga only managed to push her again into the edge.
"I told you. You can't beat me like that." Elua said falling.
"I wasn't planning on that." said Meiga.
"Huh?"
Meiga then jumped and dived his sword towards Elua. Elua tried to block with her kunais but the winds increased and pushed her up which lost her defense. Then, Meiga made a huge strike onto Elua's stomach.
"Wha? What happened?" said Kanon.
The winds carried both Meiga and Elua back to the port before it weakened and disappeared. Meiga was standing and Elua was struggling, holding her bloodied stomach.
"Impressive, using the winds to bring the girl up right into his sword knowing he can't touch her on ground." said Jinkai.
"My, What a risky fellow." said Leraje.
"He is." said Jan, "That's why he is our our side."
"Darn, and I was about to finally get you..." said a weak Elua.
"Even an advantage can be a disadvantage if looked closely." said Meiga.
"I g-guess you win." said Elua then turing around, "I-I'm sorry...Luna."
After those words, Elua fell.
"Is she dead?" asked Kanon.
"No, the strike was painful but not fatal." said Girardot.
The place started to rumble.
"Not again!" said Riese.
"Meiga! Grab her!" yelled Jan.
"What?" complained Meiga, but then got the fallen Elua and ran out of the building.
The building then collapsed, leaving only two left.
"Just two left." said Aeneas.
"Jan!" said Ailian.
"Oh, you guys are back?" said Jan.
"Yes, and it seems I found something beyond the hills." said Abelia.
"Huh?"
"A Grandall calavry is on it's way."
"Oh, the Prison Takers."
"Who?"
"You mean the ones who take the surviving enemy soldiers and brings them as prisoners back to Grandall?" asked Eurydice
"Yep. Those guys."
"Excatly why?"
"You want the Queen to be captured or dead?"
"Hmm, good point."
"So, how long will it be till they get here?"
"About a few hours. Before sundown to be exact."
"Well, that's plenty of time. Jinkai, Aeneas, Kanon. Take care of Meiga while we head off to the next one."
"Okay, be careful." said Aeneas.
"Don't worry your big head!" said Riese, "We'll be fine!"
"Big head?"
Jan and the rest moved on again to the next stronghold. As they went in, they found themselves in an area with a battle center surrounded by water. In that center was Heal-Do.
"Jan!" Lemme take this one!" said Riese, but then just jumped onto the center without waiting for an answer.
"Uhh."
"Jan. It's another one." said the SoulCalibur.
"Another one? You mean the Soul Power?"
"Yes but this one is more different."
"How?"
"She turned the whole battle center into ice and then grenn aura coming out of her means she has the ability to heal."
"Really?"
"This one may be the most dangerous."
"So, we meet again." said Riese.
"Nice to see you again. I am Heal-Do. The "Water of Origin"." she said, "I shall not let you pass!"
"Oh really? We'll see about that!"
As Riese strated to run she slipped.
"What the? ICE?" said Riese, confused.
"That's right. Only I can fight in something like this. It is like a home adavantage to me."
"Adavantage or not! I'm gonna have fun."
"I wonder. Why does this Riese have fun in battle?" asked the SoulCalibur
"Riese found alot of things boring, so she decided to join the academy. There she met me and Aeneas and found an interest in battle."
"A strange one."
"Imagine her as a regular person. That's who she was the first time she went to the academy."
Riese and Heal-Do continued thier clash but Heal-Do had more of the upper hand due to Riese's imbalance from the ice. Riese started to get frustrated.
"C'mon, Riese. Get a hold of yourself." she said to herself, "Maybe I guess it's time to use my new move."
Heal-Do started to charged but then Riese started to spin with her blades. Riese then spinned towards Heal-Do.
"Amazing, she is using the ice to her adavantage." said Heal-Do.
Riese then only hit two strikes on Heal-Do but the rest of her attack was avoided. Riese then started to gett dizzy and lose her grip of her blades. The first blade started to fling off and was flying fast towards Heal-Do. She dodged but was about to fall to the edge then the second blade flyed off and knocked out Heal-Do and caused her to fall into the water. When Riese stopped spinning, she was dazed from the excessive spinning.
"So...many...peoo...ple." said Riese, then fell down.
Riese was flat on the icy ground and Heal-Do just washed up on one of the nearby platforms near the exit. The building started to crumble.
"Xiaoxin! Get Riese!" said Jan.
"Right!" said Xiaoxin.
Jan got the knocked out Heal-Do and everyone ran off. They all made out before the building collapsed, leaving only one left.
"That's the last one." said Girardot.
"Everyone, I'll take this one." said Jan.
"What?"
"I never thought you actually beat my best." said a familiar female voice.
"Huh?!"
Luna was then on a tree looking down on Jan's unit.
"Well, it looks like it's only you and me, Jan. This time I have a secret weapon that will finally take you down."
"Hmph! We'll see about that!" saud Jan.
"I'll be waiting then."
"Hold up!" said Girardot.
"What?"
"Before you go and cross swords. I have a question."
"What is it?"
"Do you know someone by the name of 'Mooncalf'?"
"...No. I don't think so." said Luna.
Luna then disappeared.
"Well, then I'm off." said Jan.
"Be careful, she said she had some secret weapon." said Girardot.
"Secret or not. I'll beat her."
Jan then walked towards the fortress. As he walked in, he found himself in a giant room cleared of everything. There was Luna. The SoulCalibur started to shake.
"JAN!" said the SoulCalibur.
"What is it?" said Jan.
"I feel it! The power I sensed earlier and the same force used by the girls before. It's coming from her!"
"Luna?"
"So you've come, Jan." said Luna, "This will not be like our previous encounters."
Luna then raised her hand mid-way and energy started to flow out of it.
"Let's see if you can beat..."
Then the energy exploded into a blue sword.
"THIS SWORD!" yelled Luna, pointing the sword.
"Umm, what is that?" asked Jan.
"Are you serious?! This is the Holy Blade, THE SOULCALIBUR!"
"SoulCalibur?! But how?!" Jan thought.
"I am suprised myself." said the SoulCalibur.
"But how can she weild the SoulCalibur when I am?"
"It's not a trick from the Soul Edge, at least. Wait, maybe that is the reason."
"What?"
"The power I have now is not up to my fullest. First, I thought it was the small ability from my weilder."
"What?!"
"But now it makes sense. My power has been split in half, in two swords."
"But how?" looking at Luna getting ready.
"Perhaps it was when I was freed from the Soul Edge."
"The Soul Edge?"
"I was once held by the Soul Edge from the monster Inferno. A battle with him and warriors by the names of Kilik and Xianghua. I was trapped in the abyss of darkness for what seemed an eternity
but then a battle of the previous weilder, the Azure Knight and a blonde swordsman raged and the eye of the Soul Edge was pierced thus weakening the Soul Edge and set me free but then I felt a slice from the Soul Edge which caused something I couldn't understand. The Soul Edge sliced me in half and transported me halfway across the continent. I felt that half of me was taken out but I ignored it. I had no idea that it was true."
"So that's your other half?"
"I guess so. If we merge it, I can become whole again."
"Well, we can do that later but right now, to action!"
Jan and Luna was about to start their battle. They both charged and the swords clashed. Strike after strike, no one was getting hit. Jan made a slice sweep to the legs but was avoided by a
jump attack but then blocked by the sword's edge. Luna then made a jump kick but was dodged by a roll. Jan then redied himself for a final attack. Luna was about attack with hers. They both charged and suddenly both the swords bwgan to glow.
"What the?" said Luna.
"What's going on?" said Jan.
The the swords drew themselves together dragging Jan and Luna off thier feet and then clashed. Luna's SoulCalibur was stuck through Jan's and to Jan's surprise, his sword has made a direct hit onto Luna. The swords then stopped glowing and unstuck themselves. Jan wondered what happened but Luna was struggling from the heavy blow.
"Argh, why?" said a weak Luna, "Even with this sword..."
Luna then dropped the sword to the floor and disappeared.
"W-why can't...I...Win...?"
Luna then fell unconsious.
"I win." said Jan.
"What about the other SoulCalibur?" asked the SoulCalibur.
"Maybe, it chose Luna to be it's only weilder. But I'm not sure."
Jan then got the necklace givrn tohim by Mooncalf out of his pocket. Jan then got the fallen Luna up and put the necklace on her.
"Why did you do that?" asked the SoulCalibur.
"Mooncalf asked me to give this to her. Now that she's dead, I can at least honor her wishes."
The fortress started to crumble. Jan noticed and ran off with Luna in his arms. Jan soon made it out before the fortress collapsed. Jan's unit saw the fortress fall and Jan coming out.
"Jan! You're alive" said Eurydice.
"You okay? Achoo!" said Riese.
"Are you all right Riese?" asked Jan.
"She got a bit of a cold on her after the fight. It's because she lied down on the ice too long." said Aeneas.
"I was dizzy! What else am I supposed to do?!"
"J-Jan?" said Kanon, "Is that girl on your arms?"
"Hey, it's that Luna girl." said Ailian.
"UGH! Her too?!" said Abelia.
"Sorry?"
"Hey, the Grandall Prison Takers are here." said Meiga.
"Okay."
"Sir, we have all five of these wounded. Should we give them medical attention?" asked one Prison Taker.
"Sure." said Jan.
"Okay, then...that'll be 1000 gold extra."
"1000 gold?!" said Aeneas, "How can you pay for that?"
"You can be surprised on what can fall off an enemy soldier's pockets." said Jan, happily.
Jan handed a small pocket of gold to the Prison Taker.
"Okay, thank you sir."
"You're welcome."
The Prison Takers then took off and headed back to Grandall.
"So...what now?" said Eurydice.
"What do you think?" said Jan, "We head off to Revless!"
"Jan!" said Abelia.
"Huh?"
"We can't go now. Everyone is tired and needs rest."
"Okay, then let's hurry and find some shelter to rest. Maybe there's some in Revless."
"Don't try and play smart with me!"
"Things never change for Jan and Abelia, do they?" said Aeneas.
"Nope, sometimes I think thet actually like each other." laughed Riese.
Everyone else started to laugh for their victory as Abelia continued to lecture endlessly towards
Jan.
