We rejoin the company now joined by Camilla and Elise as they ventured through the volcanic area unaware a meeting was taking place.

"Hmm." said a young blond haired man in armor before approaching him was the man in ragged clothing. "Niles! Have you found my sisters?" he said.

"Yes, Lord Leo. But it appears they've become quite smitten with the enemy." Niles said.

"The enemy? The Hoshidans?" Leo asked.

"They don't look like Hoshidans but it's possible they're allied." Niles said.

"They must have used some cowardly trick to have captured Camilla. Niles, I have a task for you." Leo said.

"A task? I am at your service." Niles said getting close.

"Too close! Just stand over there and look where I point!" Leo said as Niles backed off.

"If that is what you wish." Niles said.

"That's the third time today. Anyway, this is my plan…" Leo said.

Back with the group…

"So your brother Xander leads the Nohrian Army. Okay, no big deal. An army shouldn't be too hard to find." Toma said.

"Easy for you to say, Toma. Xander could be anywhere." Hope said. "He's the Crown Prince, sure, but he's not that easy to find."

"You sound like you know us all too well." Camilla said.

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you anyway. I'd also know that Leo might be setting up something in case he mistook you two getting close to allies of Hoshido." Hope said.

"Like that?" Peko asked as soldiers were surrounding them all on all sides.

"The crimes you all have committed will not stand. Prepare to forfeit your lives." Leo said.

"Uh… Yeah. Exactly like that." Hope said.

Prince of Nohr

Dark Knight

Leo

"You cannot escape. In this void where both light and stars cannot exist, your fate is sealed." Leo said.

"Yeah? Well we're kinda known for shattering our fate." Toma said.

"Attack!" Leo said as the soldiers mostly Cavaliers and Wyvern Riders rode in to attack.

"Scatter!" Hope said as the team split up and laid into the approaching enemy.

"We need to make sure we don't get caught in any…" Mikleo began before an arrow moved past him. "Where did that come from?" he said before he saw Niles standing nearby.

"Come on, boy." Niles said kissing his arrow before notching it on his bow. "Let's give them something to talk about!"

Soldier of Nohr

Outlaw

Niles

"Okay, he's definitely weird…" Rose said.

"Trust me, Niles wasn't that attracted to guys before." Hope said.

"Well I'll get him talking about something." Rose said as Mikleo stood by her. "Luzrov Rulay!"

She armatized with Mikleo and combated Niles, arrow for arrow.

"Pretty good. Now this is something I can truly enjoy." Niles said firing into the air as the arrows rained down from above.

"Look out!" Zaveid said as they all dodged.

"Okay, now he's starting to get on my nerves…" Akane said.

"Yeah. Rose, I'll set him up, you knock him out." Korra said blasting fire at niles who barely escaped. He was about to fire an arrow back, but Korra Shielded with earth and trapped him with a stone behind him. "Go!"

"Right!" Rose said as she charged in.

"Lord of Water!" Mikleo announced as Rose attacked in an instant.

"My bow is the heavens! The vortex Swallows you!" they both said attacking with water before blasting through Niles. "Aqua Limit!"

"Ggh… forgive me, Lord Leo…" Niles said. "I was a bit...overwhelmed. I need to...lay down." he said before passing out.

"One retainer down, and one Dark Knight Prince to go." Edna said.

"I know I won but I still feel a little creeped out somehow." Rose said.

"Niles has fallen? Not good. No choice then. I'm riding into battle myself." Leo said marching into battle.

"Leo's comin' out, guys!" Gemini said.

"Finally, let's put an end to this." Hope said.

Leo charged out on his armored horse and fired spell after spell from his Tome, Byrnhilder.

"Listen to me, you've got the wrong assumption here, were not with Hoshido!" Hope said dodging a swift blast that almost launched him into the air via a patch of trees.

"Like I would believe the words of one who would kidnap members of the Nohr Royal family." Leo said.

"You always were stubborn. You don't even know your collars backwards, which it is." Hope said.

"What?" Leo said checking his collar.

"You let your guard down!" Hope said shoulder tackling him, staggering his mount.

"Gods, to take advantage of my own distraction… how did he know me that well?" Leo wondered.

Before he could attack more, Celica came and knocked him off his horse and pinned him to the ground.

"That's enough punishment for now. Leo, do compose yourself and let us explain." Camilla said.

"I am perfectly composed, Camilla. Now will someone tell me what's going on?" Leo said.

"We would be glad to explain the situation." Lianna said as they lead Leo back to their camp.
