P.O.U.R. Underground Bunker (Katie's room) / 9:30pm

After they left the statue area, Malory showed the each of us our rooms and we both impressed. Each had a Queen-sized bed, a large closet and their bathroom and a small fridge that was stocked with drinks and snacks in it. Each room had a tempature control device in as well. Our luggage was safely delivered to our rooms as we arrived on the island (A special group of knights being lead by Wallace helped get their stuff after the kids arrived at the bunker). The rooms were in a private area of the vault that a knight by the name of Warren was in charge of keeping a eye. We both had a room next to each other and Katie was in her room and she was getting things sorted out and she smiled and replied, "I have the best deck ever. I Can't wait to use more of it."

She was proud to have the deck she had. She had a Few Extra Deck cards and each card worked with each other in their own ways and she was proud of the final result and she smiled and replied, "Loving my deck right now."

She had knocking at his door and she walked over to it and opened it and I was staring at her and I decided to wear a beautiful white long shirt and purple shorts and I smiled and replied, "Hey, sweetie. How's the room?"

"Very nice, actually. It remains me of home. What's up?"

"Wanted to see if you were settled and wanted to see how you're doing, babe."

She nodded and resumed, "i'm quite well right now, hon. Thank you for checking on me."

I nodded and replied, "Sounds good. I have something for your deck."

I went into the side pocket of my shorts and took out 3 cards out of it and I handed them to her and she smiled and replied, "These cards were in my championship box I got back home and I don't have use for them myself."

She grabbed the cards and she looked at them and they were two effects and a Xyz and she smiled and replied, "Thanks, sweetie. I'll use these cards in my deck."

"Anytime. See you in the morning, hon. Love you."

I smiled as we both gave each other a hug and then I left towards my room and then Katie sighed and replied, "I love her so much."

She closed her door as well.

Tower of Fate Dentention Area / 11:00pm

Inside of the prison area of the tower, Gagagigo was locked up and the only Duel Spirit that was locked up. When a Knight or Duel Spirit that served the Enchantress or any of her knights was defeated in battle or a duel, they had to be punished for 2 days before being released again and if that one would fail 4 more times...It would be executed with no questions asked or even a trial.

Suddenly, the Black Knight walked in and a gold armored knight was with him and he saw the Duel Spirit laying down on the bench in his cell and he replied, "Evening, Greeney."

The spirit sighed and replied, "What do you want with me, Black Knight? After my duel with that snooty brat, I was brought here and I have a day and a half left of my sentence."

The knight let out its annoying laugh and it moaned and resumed, "Those kids were right about that laugh. It is so annoying."

"Everyone is a critic, even a greeny lizard like you. I like to show you something."

Suddenly, two cards appeared in front of him and they were two Synchro monsters and the spirit sighed and replied, "Why are you showing me these cards anyway, Knight?"

"Simple. After your 2 days are done here, I give you these cards for your Ocean deck and you duel either girl and if you win, you'll be the best ocean duelist in the world."

The spirit nodded happily and the knight nodded and replied, "Glad I could make a deal with with you, Gagagigo. Enjoy your time down here and nighty night."

He left the prison area and then Black Knight looked at another knight and he replied, "Perces, is our guard watching over the village like the Enchantress said to do?"

The knight nodded and replied, "Yes, sir. It needed a few cards for its deck and its now ready to duel those brats at any time. I'll head there in the morning."

He nodded as they both left and the knight watching Gagagigo sat on a bench across from his cell and he sighed and replied, "Of all the crappy jobs I could get, I have to watch you of all things instead of doing something more impressive. What a job I have."

The spirit only sighed as he fell asleep on his bench.

The next day / P.O.U.R. underground bunker (Dining Room) / 9:45am

The next day and after a quick shower and bath, we were both in the dining room and enjoying breakfast with Lord Pridmoor and Malory. Pridmoor's sons were showering at the moment and would come out when they were done. The Gastromoner made both of us a ham and cheese omelet with country potatoes with onion on the side (Except for Malory who had a omelet with various veggies and cheese in it instead).

Jordan smiled and replied, "This is one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. Your chef is really strong, sir."

The former king nodded and replied, "He really is. he trained in the best cafes and restaurants all over the world before coming back home to Pridmoor. He was lucky the Enchantress didn't find him first."

As we all continued to eat, two guys walked in and Lord Pridmoor pointed to them and he replied, "This is Riley and Dennis, my own children and they help out around the bunker and help me spy around Pridmoor Island as well."

They both waived as they both sat down and Riley looked at me and replied, "Nice to meet the great Dragon user herself. You are awesome as a duelist."

I nodded happily and then Dennis looked at Jordan and replied, "I've heard about your Xyz Rush deck as well. Sounds like a very powerful deck."

She smiled at him and Lord Pridmoor looked at his sons and replied, "Any news from the overworld, sons?"

Riley sighed and replied, "Jenna and Reid went to the village to grabe some supplies and get our vault passes back, but they were captured and are prisoners in the village! We need to get the village back under our control, dad."

"I know, son. I know."

I looked at them and replied, "What is a vault pass, sir?"

Dennis then replied, "I can answer that one. In a another part of our bunker, we have a small vault area that has our maps, money and personal family items as well as well. There is also a small vault of duel monsters cards as well that we've all found on the island. When that wench heard about our area, he sent Black Knight here and he disguised himself as one of our own and stole the only three vault passes we had. We've tried to head and find him, but we have no damn clue where he is or where the passes are now."

Jordan stood up and replied, "I can help you out like I did for us yesterday, sir. I want to help and we'll duel whoever is running the village."

"I can help myself if I can.", a voice said from the entrance to the dining area.

They all looked at the doors and a tall brown-haired woman with pink and purple streaks in her hair and she was wearing a red shirt and blue jeans with a duel disk on her arm. She had tattoos of various colored stars and flowers down her left arm with a large red star surrounded with red flames above both of her hands as well as purple and red skulls down her let leg and I could only gasp and replied, "No darn way. Chelsea, I finally get to see you after 5 long months."

She smiled and ran over to me and we both hugged and my cousin smiled and resumed, "Missed you, cous. I've been on the island with my mom and dad in the private area of the village for the summer. We'll be back in the States at the end of August and I when I heard you were coming, I had to see you again."

I only smiled and I then pointed to Katie and she replied, "This is my girlfriend Katie. My dear, this is my cousin Emma Worenson."

Katie got up and walked over to her and she nodded and replied, "It's very nice to meet you, Emma. Your cousin is a great girl and I love her so much."

She looked at her and she smiled and resumed, "So glad I finally get to meet you. Take care of my cousin for me when I'm not able too."

She nodded as they both shook hands and Lord Pridmoor smiled and replied, "She arrived here about 3 days ago and she didn't know that you were even coming here. Since you both related, you're both descendants of the great Shovel Knight."

"Well do anything to help out and remind you all of our great grandfather and grandmother, sir.", Emma happily said.

"You both remind me of your granfather, ladies. If you think you can do it, go up there with Riley and do your best not to be captured by them. Are you kids up to it?"

I nodded and replied, "I wouldn't miss this kind of a duel for anything, sir."

Katie nodded as well and replied, "Me neither. Can't wait to see whatever kind of deck she has."

"You are the most bravest kids ever, ladies. Riley, lead them up there."

They all got up and left and Dennis nodded and replied, "Let's hope for the best, dad."

The lord nodded as he contuned to eat his breakfast and then the Gastromer brought in a plate of sausage gravy over biscuits and with a small bowl of fruit on the side for Dennis and he sighed and replied, "This look amazing!"

Pridmoor Village / 10:15am

After leaving the bunker, the kids arrived at the center of the village. It was a small, but beautiful village. It was completely abandoned at the time and even the fountain was dry as well and I only sighed and then resumed, "What a waste of a village."

Riley nodded and resumed, "You're right about, girl. This was a nice village at the time and now it's going to waste now. Really sad here now."

We then saw 2 silver armor knights and a gold-armored knight coming in our direction and Riley groaned and replied, "Here we go."

The knights stopped and the golden armored one replied, "Stop there, humans! This village belongs to the Quarter of New Order! Leave now before we arrest you like those other two spies you've sent our way!"

Emma stared at the leader knight and then replied, "Not without a duel from me you won't. I challenge you to a duel."

The knight nodded and replied, "I like your style, kid. I want to duel you, but my boss would duel you Instead! Boss, we need ya!"

They heard laughing as a huge bulky machine slowly came in and it was a silvery armored machine soldier without its rocket launcher (ATK: 1,800) and I nodded and resumed, "That's a Gadget Soldier. A antique of a Normal monster that Seto Kaiba liked in his dueling days if I remember right."

He saw us and then it talked to us in a tough-like voice, "What do you brats want with our village? It belongs to the Order of New Order and no one else!"

Emma looked at him and then replied, "It doesn't belong to you and your horrible group at all! but I have a deal for you.

She raised her arm with the duel disk and then resumed, "We have a duel and if I win, you and your cronies leave for good and if you somehow win, I'll be your prisoner and my friends can go free."

The Spirit nodded and replied, "Can't resist a offer like that, kid. You got yourself a deal. If I do win, you'll be my newest prisoner and we'll get you to my boss as soon as we can."

She only sighed and then Knight Perces looked at his boss and replied, "We can't afford to lose the village. We have to keep it as much as we can, sir."

The spirit looked at him and replied, "It'll be no problem, Perces. I'll destroy this brats deck and there is no way I'm losing this village to these kids."

"I still think that is a wager that we can't do right now, boss! The Enchantress with be furious with us if we lose this village!"

"Didn't your son say the same thing after he got bored serving us and wanted to something about it as well. You want that to happen to you as well, Perces?"

He only sighed at that. His son Rowan was tired of serving him and he challenged the Spirit to a duel and after he smashed through his deck, he had him arrested for attempted mutiny and he's been in the same cell as P.O.U.R. spies for about two weeks now. He slowly shook his head no and the Spirit nodded and resumed, "You made a good decision there, Perces. You and your knights stand aside and don't do anything to disrupt our duel or you'll being talking with the Enchantress later about why you did so."

Perces and his knights stepped back and then his right arm glowed and it folded out into a duel disk-like attachment with the right slots and it had his deck and Extra Deck ready as well and then it resumed, "Let's get his over with, kid."

Before she could stand in front of him, I tapped her on the shoulder and she looked at me and I smiled and replied, "Take him down, girl. You should have no troubles at all."

She smiled and then she stood across from the spirit she activated her duel disk and the disk-like attachment on the Spirits arm lit up as well and both disks auto-shuffled the decks and both drew 5 cards and the spirit replied, "Ready for my deck to smash on through your excuse of a deck, kid?"

"You'll never beat me, metal man. My deck is ready for anything you send my way."

"I can't wait to see what you send my way and I can wait to shut you down for disrespecting me and our boss as well!"

"Game on!", both yelled out.

-o-o-o-o-o-o- (Gadget Soldier LP: 8000) -o-o-o-o- (Emma LP: 8000) -o-o-o-o-o-o-

The spirit looked around and then replied, "After we beat you, I'm gonna ask the Enchantress if we can turn this village into a beautiful factory that would help our group out more."

She looked at him and resumed, "That won't happen because I'm not losing to you."

"We'll soon see, brat. Make the first move."

She ignored that and then looked at her hand and resumed, "I'll set a card for later and that's all can do for right now."

Dennis drew a card and replied, "I'll set a card and then I'll summon my Overdrive."

She played the card and a large turret land vehicle rolled on the field (ATK: 1,600).

"I attack your facedown monster."

The cannon fired as a burst of bullet shells shot out and a large beautiful wolf appeared on the card (DEF: 800) and the bullet struck it down and blew it to shards.

"Going to take more then some classic antique monster like a Silver Fang to beat me, young lady. I end my turn now."

She looked at him and the cyborg gave her a odd look and resumed, "What's with the stare down?"

"You call my Silver Fang a classic antique and your a level 6 monster with stats worse them some more known Level 4 monsters.

"I hate to admit your right, but you win on that one. Make your move now."

She drew a card and then resumed, "I'll summon my Great Angus."

She played the card and a fiery beast with large tusks appeared with a grunt-like noise (ATK: 1,800).

"I attack your machine."

It rushed in and rammed into the machine and went backwards before it shattered into broken pieces of metal (Gadget Soldier LP: 8000 - 7800).

"Your turn now, robot."

It drew a card and then resumed, "I'll set a monster facedown and a card facedown and that'll end my turn now."

She drew a card and she resumed, "I now summon my New Moon Wolf."

She played the card and a large wolf with a grey and black coat appeared (ATK: 1,800)

"I attack with my Wolf and when it destroys a monster, you take 400 damage as well."

The mighty Beast let out a loud howling noise as a Mighty Guard appeared on the card (DEF: 1,200) and the soundwave tore into the robot and blew it to small pieces and then more of the soundwave shot out and struck it down as well (Gadget Soldier LP: 7800 - 7400) and the Spirit resumed, ""I activate my Broken Blocker."

The trap appeared and two more Mighty Guards appeared (DEF: 1,200 x 2) and then her other Beast charged and rammed into the other Guard and smashed into scrap metal.

"Your move now."

It drew a card and then resumed, "I activate White Elephant's Gift and send my last Guard away to draw 2 cards."

The spell appeared and his final monster collapsed into pixels and he drew two cards and resumed, "I activate my Frontline Base."

The spell appeared.

"I'll Special Summon my Beetron-3 Spider Base."

She played the card and a strange machine with 8 legs and both are connected by two saucer-shaped machines appeared (ATK: 1,000).

"I now summon my Beetron-1 Beetletops."

It played the card and a A large metal beetle with 4 legs a pair of wings and a large metal horn flew in (ATK: 1,700) and it connected itself to the spider robot (ATK: 1,700 - 2,300).

"Try this on! Destroy her Great Angus!"

The machine fired a large laser shot out and pierced through her Great Angus and blew it to minute pieces (Emma LP: 8000 - 7500).

"Your turn now, kid."

She drew a card and resumed, "I'll switch my New Moon Wolf to defense and then I'll set a new monster facedown and a card facedown and that's all for me."

It quickly knelt down (DEF: 1,400) It drew a card and resumed, "I equip my machine with Fairy Meteor Crush."

The spell appeared and flew into the machine and it resumed, "I summon my Helping Robo for Combat."

She played the card and the rickety robot with a small mallet for a arm appeared (ATK: 1,600).

"I attack your Wolf."

The machine fired another laser and the laser attack pierced through her Wolf and blew it to little bits (Emma LP: 7500 - 6600) and she nodded and resumed, 'I activate my facedown card."

The facedown trap lifted up and she nodded and resumed, "When a Beast monster I control is destroyed in battle and I take battle damage from that batle, I can use my Beast Crush to destroy a Spell or Trap Card you have."

Bolts of pure energy shot out and struck down the equipped Union monster and it disconnected from it before it shattered to pieces (ATK: 2,300 - 1,700).

"Very clever. I attack your facedown monster."

The large robot slowly went in and a two beautiful small cats appeared on the card (DEF: 200) and the robot slowly went and slammed its hammer hand down and blew them both to bits and she nodded and resumed, "When my Kittytail, Mystical Beast of the Forest is destroyed in battle, I Can use one of its effects and that'll be to add any Beast, Beast-Warrior, Winged Beast, Insect, or Plant monster from my deck to my hand."

She quickly grabbed a card from her deck.

"Your a good duelist, my young friend. I'll use my robos effect and draw a new card and then place another one below my deck."

The spirit quickly did so and then she resumed, "I now end my turn."

She drew a card and then she opened her field slot and then resumed, "I activate my Forest Field Spell."

She took the card and she slid into her field slot and it closed up and the deep beautiful forest formed around her and Katie nodded and resumed, "Your cousin has a true love for classic and good cards."

I only nodded and I'm more excited to see what other cards she has to use.

"Since I control a Field Spell, I can Special Summon my Bat, The Forest NInja."

She played the card and a small winged Bat appeared (ATK: 800 - 1,000).

"I now summon my Tree Otter."

She played the card and a strange otter-like Beast appeared (ATK: 1,200 - 1,400).

"My Bat is a tuner, so I tune them both together."

Her Tuner flapped its wings with joy as it split into 3 white stars, which turned into green rings and the rings went through the Tree Otter, which turned into 2 white stars (*3 + *2 = *5).

"Charge through the heavens, forming thunder with each step of your mighty hooves and incinerate your enemies with your mighty electric attacks! Synchro Summon! Appear from the sky above, Thunder Unicorn!"

A huge thunderstorm began as beautiful Unicorn with electriity covering its mighty body appeared with a mighty neigh (ATK: 2,200 - 2,400) and Katie saw the new monster and she nodded and resumed, "Very powerful Beast monster she has there."

"I'll use her ability to weaken your Robo."

The Synchro glowed as small sparks flew from the robot (ATK: 1,600 - 1,100).

"Destroy her robo!"

it quickly rushed and slammed its horn into it, piercing through it and smashing it into scrap metal (Gadget Soldier LP: 7400 - 6100).

"Your turn now, robo man."

It drew a card and resumed, "I'll switch my monster to defense and then I'll set a new monster facedown and that's all for me."

She drew a new card and then resumed, "I summon my Sunlight Unicorn."

She played the card and another beautiful unicorn with a blue-haired mane appeared (ATK: 1,800 - 2,000).

"I'll check the top card of my deck to see if it's a Equip Spell Card."

She checked the top card of her deck and it was a Fairy Meteor Crush and she smiled and resumed, "I'll equip my Synchro with the card."

The horn glowed even more.

"I attack your Beetron now."

It charged and it pierced it with its mighty horn and it simply fell apart in a pile of broken metal & dust (Gadget Soldier LP: 6100 - 5000).

"My other one attacks now."

It charged in and a Dekoichi the Battlechanted Locomotive appeared on the card (DEF: 1,000) before the Unicorn pierced it with its horn and exploded into burning pile of scrap and it drew a card.

"Your move now."

It drew a card and resumed, "I activate my Dark World Dealings."

He drew a card and discarded a card and then she drew a card and discarded one as well and then he resumed, "I'll banish my Normal Machines who's levels equal to 7 to Special Summon my Launcher Deluxer Spider!"

He took his newly discard Robotic Knight and a Mighty Guard and banished both cards as a larger Launcher Spider with more cannons appeared (ATK: 2,500) and I saw the new machine and I sighed and resumed, "Looks really tough."

"Going to help me out more. I Special Summon my Heavy Mech Support Platform from my hand with my Base's effect."

A large machine flew and attached its self to the side of the giant mech (ATK: 2,500 - 3,000).

"I now play Double Cyclone."

The spell appeared and a burst of wind smashed his Base card to shards and then the trees all collapsed into dust and wooden splinters (ATK: 2,400 - 2,200) - (ATK: 2,000 - 1,800).

"This card can attack a 2nd monster if it destroyed a first one as well! Destroy her monsters!"

The hatches of the machine glowed as a huge burst of missiles shot out and they exploded around her Unicorns and blasted them both to pieces (Emma LP: 6600 - 4600).

"You won't beat me, kid. I end my turn now."

She drew a card and then resumed, "I summon my Rescue Hedghog."

She played the card and a adorable hedgehog with a small shovel and wearing a small yellow hardhat appeared (ATK: 300).

"I banish my little friend to Special Summon 2 monsters that have the same type, level and attribute. I'll bring out my Red Fox and the classic Wolf."

The small creature dug into the ground and its hole it dug up sealed back up as a small red-furred Fox (ATK: 800) and a large wolf appeared (ATK: 1,200).

"I tune my monsters together."

The small fox glowed as it split into 3 white stars, which turned into green rings and the rings went through his Wolf, which turned into 6 white stars (*3 + *3 = *6).

"A fercious wolf lord from the underworld blasts away its enemies with its power of true evil! It's howls can be heard from miles away! Synchro Summon! Appear from the darkness, Celestial Wolf Lord, Blue Sirius!"

She played the card and a dark werewolf-like creature with 3 large wolf-like heads appeared (ATK: 2,400).

"Since my Red Fox was used in a Synchro Summon of a Beast or Beast-Warrior monster, I can draw a card."

She did so and then resumed, "I'll set a card for later and that's all for me."

The card appeared and it drew a card and resumed, "You just want to lose now, eh? I summon my Mechanicalchaser."

She played the carda dn the multi-armed machine appeared (ATK: 1,850).

The machine fired its missiles and they shot out and exploded and blew her Synchro to tiny pieces (Emma LP: 4600 - 4000) and she smiled and resumed, "I activate my Miracle's Wake."

Her facedown card lifted up and the Synchro appeared again (ATK: 2,400) and she nodded and resumed, "Take a look at your large sized monster now, mech man!"

It began to totally rust up (ATK: 3,000 - 600) and she smiled and resumed, "Any monster that destroys my Blue Sirius in battle gets much weaker."

"I'll find a way to crush you! I end my turn now."

"Lets do this. Forest Unicorn attacks now!"

It quickly charged in and rammed its horn into the huge machine and began to glow before it collapsed and erupted in a fiery explosion of hot metal & ash (Gadget Soldier LP: 5100 - 3400) and he groaned and resumed, "When my giant friend is destroyed, I can Special Summon any banished Normal Machine I have banished."

A Robotic Knight appeared and knelt (DEF: 1,800).

"Not a big deal. I attack your Mechanicalchaser now."

It glowed as a wave of blue flames shot out and burned the machine and melted it into a fiery pile of molten metal (Gadget Soldier LP: 3400 - 2850).

"Your move now."

It drew a card and then resumed, "It drew a card and resumed, "Your driving my patience, lady! I'll activate my Spellbooks Inside the Pot."

"Next turn, you're done for. I end my turn now."

My cousin drew a card and she nodded and resumed, "I play my Tuner Treasure."

The spell appeared.

"I can banish two Tuner monsters from my graveyard that are the same type, but different levels to draw 2 cards from my deck."

She took her Bat and Red Fox and banished the cards and drew 2 new cards and she nodded and resumed, "I'll set a monster facedown and a card facedown as well and that's all for me."

It drew a new card and then resumed, "I'll set a card for later and I'll attack your facedown monster!"

The kngiht fired its arm cannon again and a strange tapir-like beast appeared on the card (DEF: 300) and the bullet stuck it down and blew it to pieces and then she quickly resumed, "I activate my Scapegoat."

The spell lifted up and the colorful sheep tokens appeared (DEF: 0 x4) and the android groaned and resumed, "There's no point to attack your silly monsters, so I'll set a card and that'll end my turn now."

She drew a card and resumed, "I'll bring forth my Guldfaxe of the Nordic Beasts."

She played the card and a large beautiful horse appeared (ATK: 1,600).

"I now tune it with my 4 tokens."

The large horse glowed as it split into 4 white stars, which turned into green rings and the rings went through all 4 of her tokens, which turned into a total of 4 white stars (*4 + *1 + *1 + *1 + *1 = *8).

You'll regret attacking me while I have my Mirror Force ready to strike you down when you try to attack., The spirit though to himself as he stared at her mighty Beast.

"Next, I'll use Soul Release and I'll banish my Dark Desertapir and my Thunder Unicorn."

The spell appeared and both cards appeared and then shattered into triangles and she nodded and resumed, "I can Special Summon any Level 4 or lower Beast monster from my graveyard thanks to my Dark Desertapir's effect now and I choose my Forest Fang I discarded earlier thanks to your Spell."

Her field glowed as a large beautiful green and white furred wolf appeared with a deep growl (ATK: 1,800).

"When this one is Summoned, one of your facedown cards cannot be activated while my furry friend is on the field."

The wolf growled as a burst of green leafy vines shot out and wrapped around the facedown card and his eyes turned dark red as his facedown card was now useless.

"I now banish a card from my hand to activate my Unicorn Beacon to bring out back my Thunder Unicorn."

She took a Mine Mole and banished it from her hand as the Spell appeared and the Thunder Unicorn appeared with a powerful neigh (ATK: 2,200) and the Spirit looked at her and resumed, "Attack me in anyway, but I'll still have a next turn, lady."

She smiled and pointed to her facedown card and resumed, "I activate The Big March of Animals."

The spell appeared and each of her monsters glowed with power (ATK: 2,200 - 2,800) - (ATK: 2,800 - 3,400) - (ATK: 1,700 - 2,300).and Katie smiled and resumed, "This duel is done for robo man over there."

"Time for some fun. Tricorn attacks first."

The horns of the mighty steed glowed as a huge burst of electricity mixed with lightning bolts shot out and smashed into his Syncho and it glowed before it exploded into hot shards of metal.

"Forest Fang attacks now."

The mighty Beast howled as a burst of leaves shot out and pierced through the android soldier and it shattered into broken pieces of metal.

"Thunder Unicorn ends this duel."

The mighty steed charged in and rammed its horn into the side of the Spirit (Gadget Soldier LP: 2850 - 0) and Katie smiled and resumed, "What a deck she has, Jordan. You should be more then proud of her right now."

I was indeed proud of her. Even her deck might gave my deck a decent challenge as well and then the spirit glowed and then resumed, "You haven seen the last of me, kids! The Enchantress and her army will seal you away soon enough!"

It then shattered into metal shards and dust and the knights stared at her and Perces sighed and resumed, "What are you going to do with us?"

Riley nodded and replied,"I'm the son the Lord Pridmoor and if you serve our group with protecting the village, we'll allow you all to stay with us and forget you served that horrible woman ."

He nodded and then replied, "Sounds good to me. I'll lead you to your friends now. "Let us go unlock the cell and get your stolen items and allies back, kids. Follow me."

The knights began to lead them to the area.
