Saito and his Guard's Captain Imrahil ran down the halls to try and find the source of the magic in the castle. Explosions rang through the air as the two men ran faster and faster in the direction Derflinger was giving them. As they took a left turn, a fireball shot in their direction as Imrahil slashed the fireball in half which dissolved it. Said mage who shot the fireball got a throwing knife thrown at him by the Captain as he fell to the ground from the impact and stabbed by the twenty five old man.

"You really like doing that combo don't you?" Saito said as they pick up the pace.

"Why fix something that isn't broke?" Imrahil said as Saito nodded in agreement. Out of everyone that he met during his reign as King, Imrahil was the one who stood out to him for his resolve and determination to change the people for the better. This resulted in him shooting up to the rank of Captain but he also has the skills to back up him position.

"Point taken." The King said as another fireball shot at them as Saito slashed threw it as well. And stabbed the man who happen to be the unlucky fool to attack Saito. He pulled the sword out and rolled over the dead mages back and slashed the mage behind him in the chest and side step him and continued running. "Derf, how much further until we reach the source?"

"About two more turns to the left." Derf said as lightning got shock at the two as Saito luckily had his sword up to deflect and reflect the spell back to the caster who had her skeletal system appear before the two before hitting the floor in a numb pain followed by death.

"Seriously, how freaking many of them got in here." Saito question got an answer after taking the first left turn by getting a senbon to his right shoulder which made him nearly drop his sword but changed hands before it hit the ground. In front of him stood about thirty men and women, all wearing hooded cloaks o prevent their identities from being seen. Three of them wore a mask with a symbol of the void in the center standing in front of a fourth person who is almost Saito's height. Saito pulled out the senbon and placed it into his pocket. "I'll take on the four in front of use, you take care of the rest of them then help me with these, and I have a feeling this isn't going to be easy to take care of." Saito said as Imrahil stood beside his King with a grin on his face.

"This is going to be very interesting Saito, let's do this."

Chaos filled the air of the castle as Tabitha awoke from her nice nap to hear explosions. After accepting the role of Saito's noble advisor, she had grown up to be a very beautiful woman. Tabitha stood at about 5'4, her figure remained the same except for her chest growing a size and her hair growing slightly just barely above her shoulders.

"Troublesome…" Tabitha said changing into her normal clothes which have remained unchanged since the ten years that have followed. She grabbed her stave and casually walked to her door, opened it and blasted a fire mage in front of her with ice magic and did it without giving any expression. "Nuisances, nothing more." Tabitha said in a soft voice as she walked down the hallway blasting anyone who was not from around here with magic that froze the bones.

"Your Majesty, you need to be taken to a secured facility." Agnes yelled running into the room with her squad behind her.

"This meeting will be continued at a later times. Agnes, go make sure that Marie is safe." Henrietta said grabbing her metal wand which symbolizes her position of Queen of the land.

"But your Majesty-"

"You have your orders Agnes, now follow them." Henrietta demanded as she saw two men from Saito's Guard see the Queen. "You two, help Agnes make sure that Marie is safe."

"Queen Henrietta, we just came to inform you the whole regiment of King Saito's Guard except Captain Imrahil who is with King Saito is protection Princess Marie." And with that, the two men ran off to return to protecting the heir to the throne. Agnes used this distraction to her advantage to press her claim.

"You see, your daughter is in good hands; we must get you to safety." Agnes stated as the Queen surrendered to her guard and went with her to find the heir to the throne.

"Rah!" Saito exclaimed slashing the final masked mage who have been the biggest pain in his life with all the senbon being thrown at him. Saito looked like a living pin cochin with about ten senbon in different places. "That's the last, now for you…" Saito pulled out a senbon and threw it at the last person who appeared to be of a higher position.

"Do you think I will fall so easily as the people before you?" The figure asked the King who just grinned in response.

"We'll find out soon enough." Imrahil said finishing his last foe and stood the same distance away from his foe but from behind.

"Two on one, not the way you should treat a lady now." The figure who Saito guessed was a she said as an explosion shot out at the King who dodged it barely.

"Ah crap… why the hell does it have to be her of all people, this is going to be complicated… never would have thought she would have grown a size… or two it seems." Saito thought as Imrahil jumped up and did a downward slash and just missed his target who rolled to the right and behind the swordsmen who tossed a throwing knife and nail the wand in her hand.

"Quite a Captain you have Saito…" She stated, much to her annoyance of her wand being knocked out of her hand. "Still, the events of today have been made and my work is done." The female said as she slowly walked to the large window in the hallway which touched form the floor to the ceiling.

"You have nowhere to run Louise, give up and we can stop this nonsense." Saito said knowing who was behind the master from the first attack. Said person chuckled and removed the mask and showed it was the girl who summoned Saito.

"Shame you choose to be with Henrietta instead of me in the end. You know, there is still time to change your mind." She said in an almost seductive tone which shocked the King.

"Seductive vocabulary, what in the hell has she been doing in the last decade." Saito could not answer the question as Louise raised her hand and pointed her index and middle finger together at her former familiar. This snapped the man out of it as it began to glow. Imrahil took this opportunity to strike but missed again and got an explosion to his chest as a result. "She can cast spells without a wand, damn it, I need to restrain her now." Saito charged the girl who shot a barrage of explosions at the man which got the attention of every soul in the castle. As the smoke settled, Saito brushed his hand out of the smoke and dived out and continued to charge the female. Closing the gap, he nailed Louise with the pummel of the sword which forced her to the ground with him placing his shoe on her now developed chest and the sword to her throat. Neither soul moved an inch but in his mind, he was trying with everything in his might to finish it. "Damn it body, MOVE! Thrust Derf into her body and end everything that is causing my family headaches… MOVE!" Shout at his body from his mind all he might, it would not finish the job. Louise, seeing the hesitation in his eyes took her hand and casted a weak explosion spell at the man on top of her and got him off. She rose to her feet with Saito recovering to his feet from the blast.

"it's been fun Saito, I'm sure we will see each other again very soon, until then." Louise said as she using a spell to regain her wand and pointed it towards her feet and casted an explosion which sent her flying out of the room from the glass window. The whole scene registered in the King's mind as he ran to the window to see one of his one Dragon Knights with Louise on the back of it. The two flew off leaving the King and Captain of the King's Guards alone.

"DAMN IT!" Saito shouted slamming his fists into the ground in sheer anger of what happened. "I had her, I could have ended this whole thing but I freaking hesitated, damn it!" This continued as Tabitha casually walked into the scene to see the Imrahil who was beaten up and a King who was on his knees swearing at nothing.

"Seems I missed the show." Tabitha muttered as she helped the two men to the infirmary to get them assessed on any injures. Imrahil was the one who could walk as the adrenalin in Saito's body was beginning to leave him and the senbon wounds began to take a toll until he fainted to what he guessed was a douse of knock out poison.

Author's Notes – I freaking hate the internet sometimes, it kills my fun when I ask you questions. Congratz to agarfinkel for guessing it right. The later part of the last chapter wasn't meant to be a set up for an action scene so forgive me if this is a little disappointing, I lack the experience in play by play moments and also the sounds people make in said moments.

Question Time – What or who do you think Saito will meet in his dream world next chapter?

This question, I swear if someone freaking gets it right, I will think you guys have a way of reading my dang mind.
