Haschel guts-punches Lavitz so hard that he falls to the ground unconscious

Sorry about that. Haschel said

Whoa. Dart said

Wow. Punk said

Impressive. Isn't it? Haschel said

Yeah. Dart said

Seriously. Punk said

What did you do to him? Sophitia said

I just gave him a gut punch. That's all. Haschel said

You could've killed him. Sophitia said

He's fine. Haschel said

He is? Sophitia said

Yes. Haschel said

Oh, come on. Haschel said

Batman. Dart said

Yes? Batman said

Can you check Lavitz's pulse? Dart said

Of course. Batman said

Batman approaches the unconscious Lavitz and checks his wrist for a pulse

Well? Punk said

He's fine. Batman said

Seriously? Punk said

Yes. Batman said

But is he okay? Sophitia said

He is. Batman said

Good. Sophitia said

He's okay. Just unconscious. Batman said

Still good. Sophitia said

Let's take him to the doctor. Dart said

Good idea. Punk said

A few minutes later

The gang was the doctor as Lavitz regained consciousness

I am...King Albert! Lavitz said

You're finally awake. Punk said

What the? Where am i? Lavitz said

The doctor. Sophitia said

The doctor? Lavitz said

Yes. Sophitia said

Why am i? Lavitz said

You were out of control. Dart said

But how did i end up here? Lavitz said

Haschel gut-punched you. Dart said

Oh. Lavitz said

You idiot! Haschel said

Huh? Lavitz said

When knights lose self-control, their lord cannot be saved. Haschel said

But... Lavitz said

Only you can save King Albert now. Haschel said

What happened? Lavitz said

While you were sleeping, I went to get a feel for the situation. Haschel said

And? Lavitz said

Bale is under occupation. Haschel said

Oh. Lavitz said

Yes, and i don't think the remaining knights can do anything. Haschel said

What about King Albert!? Lavitz said

He offered himself. Haschel said

What? Lavitz said

He offered himself up as a captive so that the people in Basil could be safe. Haschel said

Oh. Lavtiz said

Yup. Haschel said

Just because i defeated a dragon...! Lavitz said

Sure. I guess. Haschel said

Why was i all whooped up? Lavitz said

There is no time for procrastination. Haschel said

What? Lavitz said

There is no choice. Dart said

So what do we do? Punk said

We must venture forth to Hellena! Dart said

Cool. Punk said

We are taking the king back, aren't we? Haschel said

Yeah. Dart said

Hell yeah. Punk said

Oh. Haschel said

Master Haschel makes me feel uneasy. Haschel said
