Sorry for the long delay…as I was tied up with other things…as well as coming up with this chapter's plot…so now feel free to enjoy this chapter as a surprise is waiting for you…

Orochi is flying around and is quite away from Emil's reach as the elder brother of Hime is trying to get a close range on using his psychokinesis on his target but with Orochi moving fast he couldn't get a hold of him visually so he'll have to try some risks to get his target to co e to him. As Emil came out of his hiding place, Orochi fired several lasers at his target, injuring the prince, but this enable Emil to get a lock on his opponent.

"Good…now is my chance…"

With a hard glare, Emil used his psychokinesis to shot a hard force meant to shove orochi back, but to his surprise, his powers accidentally dismantled his target, revealing Orochi to be a machine, and now things are getting clear, as he realized that the whole thing is a set up and that Gilliam doesn't have a Blood Warrior, and all this time he entered the "duel" by having robots posing as Blood Warriors, and that the King may be a fake as well, as he knew that he doesn't harm his children unless physically provoked, as he slapped Hime over her supposed relationship with Hiro.

"Looks like all is apparently clear…we've been set upand Gilliam has been playing us for fools…"

Emil then makes his way back inside the castle and avoided the guards as he heads back to the coliseum to try and rescue the Mermaid Girl, knowing that she is likely to be targeted first s she is not a fighter, and he knows that Hiro will defend her, just as the teen boy always defend Liliane.

Elsewhere, Sylvia is hiding within the halls as she managed to sneak her way out of her room by using her wits, and now she is navigating her way around until she comes across a secret room where a a scientist is working on something, and this something is slowly being shown, as they appeared to be cloned bodies of Hime, Emil and Gilliam, and they appeared to be near death, and she guessed that Gilliam intends to use his "Flame of Light" to awaken them.

"My…my brother is very deceptive…using robots to masquerade as Blood Warriors then unleash the real ones while his siblings are busy…that's so dirty of you…I guess it can't be helped…"

Sylvia then went behind the scientist and break his neck, killing him as she uses her "Flame of Light" to awaken the clones, and as she expected, the clones woke up and are now obeying whoever awakened them, namely Sylvia, as she glances at the clones, seeing that there are about five of them – the clone Sylvia, Hime, Gilliam Emil and Severin. Sylvia glanced at the clones and is thinking of what orders she would give to them and what to do next.

At the coliseum, Hiro is walking slowly as he carries Mikasa on her back while the Mermaid Girl leads Hiro towards an adjacent escape route when Rugal shows up and kicked Hiro and Mikasa hard, further depleting their Flame of Light energies as they healed whatever injuries they receive and Hiro is alarmed to see Rugal starting to strangle the little Blood Warrior, and he knew that this has gone too far.

"Let her go…!"

Hiro tries to interfere but Rugal slapped him aside and he was slammed against the wall, but Hiro refused to give up and there he recalled something as he brought a stun gun with him and jabbed it onto Rugal's nape, and the 14-year old boy is surprised to see that Rugal released his hold on the Mermaid Girl and then exploded, revealing that Rugal is just a robot, and Mikasa was surprised to see that Gilliam has deceived his siblings al this time.

"So…Gilliam really cheated…using robots instead of actual Blood Warriors…but now he's out of warriors to fight for him…"

"Then…that means…"

By this time, Gilliam has seen enough and decided to end the battle himself and jumped inside the coliseum, and took out his sword and stabbed Hiro on his gut, but Hiro held onto the weapon impaled on his stomach while holding Gilliam, urging Mikasa to take the Mermaid Girl and run, and Sylvia's Blood Warrior is surprised to see his feeble attempt to sacrifice himself for others.

"You are a fool…! Why risk you're life for others knowing that you'll be abandoned…there is no alliances between us…"

"But you're still human like me…I don't care if I die for good…just get the girl out…she's an unfortunate victim and target…she doesn't deserve to be here…please…as a fellow human…save the girls and take her to Emil…!"

Gilliam began kicking Hiro away to get him to release his hold on the sword but Hiro refused, while Mikasa reluctantly took the Mermaid Girl out of the coliseum and head for the nearest exit. Gilliam is getting pissed and began to kick him hard that Hiro was slammed against the wall and there the prince began to repeatedly stab Hiro, but inspite of this he kept on fighting back, though he is starting to fall as his Flame of Light is now nearing depletion.

"You really are a fool…sacrificing your existence for a fellow Blood Warrior…"

"At least I'm fighting for those who are unwilling to fight a dirty fight…!"

By then, Hime and Riza arrived and the half human/werewolf went into action and charged towards Gilliam but then he took out another sword and aimed it on Hiro's neck, forming a hostage situation.

"Stay back, Liliiane…or I'll kill him…his Flame of Light is nearing depletion…if you wish to save him…surrender to me…"

"Hime…! Never mind me! Just kill this guy! He's using robots posing as Blood Warriors! Don't give your life away on the account of me!"

"Shut up, brat!"

But Hiro resisted and did an elbow strike and Gilliam slit Hiro's throat, and that was it, as his Flame of Light has finally been extinguished and is slowly dying, and Hime was pissed as she charged at Gilliam and clashed swords at her elder brother as Riza uses a handkerchief to stop the bleeding but Hiro was content, telling her to go help Hime, but Riza was unwilling.

"We're all going home!"

"N-never mind…about…me…g-go help…H-Hime…look after…S-Sawawa…"

"You are a fool, Lilliane...of all the possible candidates for a Blood Warrior...why a brat like him?"

"I find him...cute. Not to mention he's a good shield...at least he knows his place and mind his manners..."

"And I find it repulsing that you're even degrading yourself by having a relationship with a mere human..."

"At least he respects me as a woman...unlike you...but then you'll die a bachelor after i deal with you..."

"You bitch!"

Gilliam was irritated at Hime's course and her willingness to risk her life for someone he deemed useless and the two siblings clashed swords though she is unyielding and held Gilliam at bay.

By then Sylvia came with the awakened clones following her and there she gives out her command, which is to go after Gilliam, and the clones did so, and they all rushed towards Gilliam, who is now forced to defend himself against the cloned Blood Warriors and Emil arrived and saw Hiro is just a few seconds to expiration and used his Flame of Life to save him, but Hiro faintly pointed his finger towards the Mermaid Girl, as she too is dying and Emil was torn between saving his Blood Warrior and Hiro, until Hime came and used her Flame of Light to save the Mermaid Girl, and Emil now uses his to save Hiro.

However, Gilliam had a secret trick up his sleeve as he pressed a button hidden underneath his sleeve and several robots arrived, all resembling Huitzil (from Darkstalkers) and dispatches the cloned Blood Warriors while others surrounded the rest, trapping them, and Gilliam stood triumphant as he now has his siblings under fire.

"Any last words before I kill you all…?"

To Be Concluded...
