A/N: A big thank you to Scraper for his Caboose!

This is it.

The session had to be relocated at the biggest courtroom due to the imaginable numbers of attendants. They had to broadcast the trial to the thousands roaring outside. After all, Queen Nashandra was once the most beloved queens of Drangleic. Security measures were at its highest levels.

Shalquoir redid all of her over expensive make up in a matter of minutes in the bathroom. She looked a beautiful as ever. Nevertheless, she won't rely on her gift this time…only raw simple facts.

"All rise!" The bailiff shouted as the stressed judges entered the courtroom. Tension ran rampart especially with the presence of royal Aegis, Velstadt and his Excellency Lord Aldia.

Shalquoir started "Before bringing the witness, I would like to show you this painful video we all remember…. The day, when our fair queen was murdered." She started the video. Almost everyone saw the video before. It was three days after the death of Vendrick eight months ago. The nation was in utter dismay for the loss of the king. The queen was to make some sort of an announcement or whatever formalities she had to make with the royal Aegis and a handful of bodyguards around the frail queen.

Out of the sudden Caboose skydived from the shrouded clouds to the queen's Balcony shouting "Caboose is on the loose!" whilst showering the queen with bullets. Velstadt and other snipers and bodyguards filled his body with bullets but he just wouldn't die. Instead, he aimed his parachute towards the eastern Drangleic River and jumped from a great distance. This was the last time he was spotted.

"I think this is more than enough to frame him but as a precaution, Mr. Cale will join us on the stand." The man was quite famous for his advanced cameratography. In his main station, he can control over thirty automated cameras for the best shot possible.

"Thank you miss Shalquoir , I am aware of your precious time and so I collected all the important information in my tablet, Can i….demonstrate, your honors?"

"You may proceed…" said Gwyndolin.

"From my 3D scanning, Mr. Caboose's height and overall shape matches the assassin. Mr. Caboose, can you repeat your words again?"

"Caboose is now in a freaking cage, nob-jockey." Before Shalquoir could say anything, Cale's Tablet beeped loudly with an automated voice saying :'voice matching: positive'

"Thank you Mr. Caboose, now the advanced face recognition program identifies forty six percent of his face. It is not enough but my facial reconstruction program has a matching probability of ninety eight percent."

"That is all, would you to question , Patches?" Came the snarky tone once more. Truth to be told, Patches didn't know what to say. He closed his eyes for a moment rethinking his strategy.

"Mr. Patches?" inquired Targray.

"Yes, yes….i see y'all yapping about Caboose. He is the killa, he is a mean mofo. You might be right you might be wrong. Everything is possible, eh?"

"Your point?" Lady of darkling was running impatient.

"My point is, some facts might overshadow other facts like his supposed invulnerability. No bullet vest can eat all 'em bullet. This is clearly one of either Seath's or Aldia's shadowy projects. They have such advanced technologies capable of the impossible. Stolen project? Unlikely. I am thinking among the lines of funded project…I AM thinking among the lines of conspiracy. Lasses and gents, all of this hokus pokus is a planned assassination crafted by higher forces!"

The court was never the same afterwards; enraged people tried to attack both Caboose and Patches. The judges tried to spread some order but in vain. Lord Aldia stepped out of his chair and roared "SILENCE YOU MONGROLS!"

His scattering voice was enough to silence the courtroom "This … filth has killed my brother's wife. I had enough of this nonsense, justice shall be served right here…." He pulled out his gun.

Gwyndolin Protested " B-but lord Aldia, the law forbids-"

"Are you going the question me, boy?" He focuses on Caboose who was humming a song "Any last words?"

"Huh?"

*BANG*

48 Hours later, at the borders of Boletaria….

A black van without any license plate stopped at the designated area. It remained there for two hours till a small chopper landed next to it. Two figures stepped outside of the van while five stepped out the chopper.

"Dr Seath, Ciaran." Aldia nodded to the dyad. They did the same, Aldia pulled out a small red pill out of his pocket. Seath pulled a blue one and mixed the two in a cup of water then Dr Seath sucked the mixture with a syringe.

"As I am glad to work with your brilliant minds of your laboratories , Lord Aldia, I must warn you. The phoenix project is too dangerous and risky. The darker potentials of it are beyond measures. We can not use it ever again. We are not god."

"Of course, Dr. Seath. Of course" replied Aldia in a grim manner " Now miss Ciaran, how is our situation?"

"The Abyss terrorist group lies in shambles, Manus, the leader of Lordran's chapter is dead. His daughter died by . The rest is on the run… not for long though. There are some rumors of a new chapter in Boletaria but it is in the grey water for now."

"Two birds one stone: I get to rule Drangleic with mind clear of bio-terrorist and a better national security for both of us." His laugh was croaky from his excessive smoke habit.

"I trust our relations will be… better….from now on?"

"Sure, sure… just get rid of that yapping cheap lawyer…latches? Snatches?"

"Already in the black bag sir, along with Shalquoir. Any loose ends were silently eliminated" her reply kind of surprised the new king.

"No wonder Gwyn chose you heheheheh! Dr. Seath, If you may…" Seath opened the black van to retrieve Caboose's corpse. Seath injected the serum in Caboose's cold arm. In a matter of minutes, Caboose was back on track. He gasped wildly "GAWD…..into the fucking head? Really Aldia?"

"I had to be persuasive, son. Congratulation on taking out the most two elusive Abyss bitches AND the head herself." he shook hand with the slightly dizzy Caboose before a manly-rib-crushing hug.

"Mr. Caboose, you served both countries well. This is your new home, Boletaria. Unfortunately, the kingdom of Boletaria is not in good terms with both Drangleic and Lordran. You will find a large sum of money in an account under the name of "Electric Boogaloo ". Your new identity lies in this brief case." She handled him a luxurious black brief case.

"Remember , you are a ghost now. You are alive only because you served your cause and our need of a test subject with a specific gene. Any beep and I will personally take you down... no revival serums this time, Understood?"

"Yes Ma'am." With that, Caboose found himself alone as the chopper took off as well as the van. When the dust settled, Caboose opened the briefcase for his new identity card.

"Barry Scott? Really? Motherf-"
