Vorus held the body of his fallen subordinates as the memories of their time together flashed through his aching heart.

Eight years ago... the trio were merely kids of servants that served at the commander's castle.

They were the only children in the castle as they were allowed to live there with their parents due to a rule that permits the maids and servants of the castle to live within the servant section with their families for as long as they work there.

The district commander then was a ruthless and wicked tyrant who bullies the servants and everyone else in the district. He collected taxes even though all district commanders receive a hefty grant from the king every month.

One day...

"Who dares steal from Fuu the great!?"

The castle was caught in an uproar as someone had stolen a ring under the possession of the commander.

He ordered for all the servants to be brought to him.

"One of you peasants has taken something valuable from me. I'm sure the rest of you are all innocent so

    "My people..."The location was the middle of Kondo, right outside the prison.After the attack on the Kondo prison, the crew went on to bury their fallen comrades.Now, the citizens of Kondo gathered around Vorus as he addresses them."First, I want to begin by apologizing for not being here when you all needed me."Vorus went silent for a bit before he continued, he paused to look at the faces of the people around him.Some of them were skinnier than when he left, most had bandages covering their bodies, injuries they received from the Rada Khan's invasion.One thing that was the same with everyone around him was the look of total depression across their faces.It was understandable too."We have all lost people dear to us, people that were part of our daily lives... I promise all of you, no I swear on my name!"He slams his fist hard on his chest."Vorus V. Vladimir swears to bring you Rada Khan's head!"He pumps his fist high in the sky as the crowd cheer. It was more like a battl

    Inside an unknown dungeon, Rada Khan was making his way to a specific cell.He was clad in royal attires and wore the crown that used to sit atop the head of the previous king."A while back, we were in a similar situation, brother." He smirked as he holds the bars of the cell containing a bruised and chained Rohan.Rohan was chained in a similar way that Rada Khan was chained when he was taken prisoner by Rhea and the Enders.Rohan slowly raises his head to look at his brother."Brother... what has gotten over you? The once noble man who raised me as a child, I refuse to believe you're the same."Rada Khan only laughed at Rohan's remarks as he bends to the level of his captive brother to stare directly into his eyes."It wasn't I who change, but you brother. I used to think that whatever the case, you will always stand beside me, if you did, you would be ruling with me today but instead, you chose a bunch of miscreants that have lost their way to the evil of the accursed relics.""Th

    The location was the district commander's Castle in Regrah. Rada Khan was sitting on a throne with his cheek rested on his palm."Oh Radaaaa, I'm back." Jester entered the room skipping around as he paused on his tracks when he was but a few steps away from Rada Khan."Jester, did you deliver the letter?"The masked clown laughed and gives him a thumbs up.Rada Khan smirked as he pulls out a map and hands it to the masked man."As promised, the map of Gaia's heart. This was a treasured heirloom passed down through the generations of the royal family that ruled Cronoa."Jester snatched the map and brings it up to his cheek to caress it like a lost pet."We both are getting what we desire, hahaha. You get the head of Stark's kid and I will get a very unique treasure after this."He begins to dance and spin around the room to Rada Khan's annoyance.'Once you aid me in apprehending my remaining enemies, I shall take your head as well. you accursed relic user. you are all the same to me.

    "What do you mean he's our vice-captain?"The first to speak up after the revelation was Reginald, it was noticeable in the tone he exerted that he wasn't happy.'I thought I was the vice.'"Hihi! Well, he's stronger than I am, Regi and if it wasn't for him, we all won't be here right now." Ace replied with a grin as he slaps the back of his "best friend"."N-nice to meet you, Sir Kaz, I'm Conroy." Conroy gave the man a handshake which he readily accepts.Vorus and Maggie followed suit to welcome their new companion."Vorus. Spar with me soon, I'll love to face a man that the captain speaks of in high regards.""I'm Maggie, joined recently too.""Once again it's nice to meet you guys.""By the way, What are you doing all the way here Kaz?""It's a long story.""Let me guess," Reginald said. "It has something to do with Seven certain special individuals?"Kaz raised his eyebrow and looked at the thief."Sorry, and you are?" The remark made Reginald pop a vein."I'm Reginald Star!""Oka

    The location was the front of an old and shaggy cafe in Black Seed.It was the same cafe that the Seven Saints had their meeting.Kaz had led them here in the hopes that they might find a clue as to the whereabouts of Shuntal and the other saints."Woah!""Solemn..."The gang all stared in awe as they made their way into the cafe, to their amazement, the place was nicely kept and clean. Had chandeliers hanging from the top and golden colored paints on the wall."This place looks like a mini luxurious hotel on the inside.""How comes a good-looking place like this is located in the heart of a vile area such as Black Seed?" As Maggie finished, an eerie voice echoed in the room in response to her question."That's because NOBODY enters Adacus's cafe without an invite!""Eeee!" Maggie and Conroy began shaking down to their knees as they held each other's hands."Who's there?""Are you deaf or something? I said my name is Adacus!"Just then, smoke began to encase the room making the six Ae

    "Wow! This coffee is superb, Sir Adacus.""Mhmmm. Purely exquisite in every way." Maggie added.Their facial expression showcased a feature of pleasure and amazement."What's the secret recipe to such an amazing coffee?" Vorus asked as he takes another sip at his cup."The quality of the beans, the ratio of beans to water, the amount of time the coffee is brewed for, the coarseness or fineness of the beans, even the temperature of the water and the amount of time it is left standing for will all affect how sweet or bitter each particular cup tastes," Adacus replied and poured more coffee in their cups. "But, the most important ingredient... Is love.""Pft. Love? You can't eat love, old man." A vein seemed to pop on his head upon hearing Reginald's remark. Maggie smacked the head of the thief knocking his hat in the process. "Hey! What do you that for?""By love. I mean the passion for what you do. Making coffee takes patience and such patience can only be achieved if one has the love

    Ace and Kaz were currently having a sparring session."You have gotten stronger!" Kaz said as he parries a straight jab from Ace and responds with a spinning kick which the latter avoids by jumping out of range.Ace then summons his daggers. "So have you!" He exclaimed with a wide smile on his face and then charges at his sparring partner.With a couple of unique footsteps, Kaz avoided the flurry of swings from the daggers and manages to slap them away from Ace which in turn resulted in the daggers returning to the assassin's shadows."We'll call it a day. What're our scores now?"They made their way to the counter to have some biscuits and coffee."185 battles with me leading with 93 wins."Ace then stares at the dark hallway which Adacus and Maggie entered.Vorus walks up to the two. "Do you think she's alright?""Heh, it's Maggie we're talking about here... Of course, she's fine!"Vorus and the others couldn't help but worry about the historian as it has been two days now since the

    "Four hundred years ago, a war broke out between humans and relimen." Adacus was reading out to Maggie from a book.She was practicing with her new powers as the others were getting packed and ready to depart."The lands were ravaged by the destruction and the sees became dry. When all hope seems lost for the world, Seven heroes appeared and put an end to the war. They were a group of both humans and relimen... They were celebrated as champions within their fields of expertise and went on to later be called... The Seven Saints."He walked up to her and handed her the book."Keep it. You seem to be quite interested in the world's history. There aren't many books as good as this.""Thanks. Uhm, do the relimen still exist? As in outside of crypts.""Now what good will that be if I tell you? Find out yourself.""Guys!" Vorus came running carrying luggage."We're ready to depart."They silently nod and all made their way to Dragonheart."Any word from Rhea?""Yep, they've done their best t

    "So, this is it." Ace faced his teammates. He recalled all the difficulties and trials they faced together. "We've been through alot, huh?" Reginald smirked. The others wore saddened expressions. "This goodbye is not forever, sir Ace." Conroy says struggling to put his emotions in check. "Yes!" Vorus exclaims as he throws his arms in the air. "When You return, I shall challenge you, Captain!" "I'll be sure to share my findings with you." Maggie added. "Yeah bro, we'll rock it out when you get back." Ernie added. "I'll keep these rascals in check for you." Said Kaz. "Guys..." Ace's eyes sparkled. He bows silently and turns to Ryker who was waiting for him with the Cruiser. "I'll miss you..."

"What do you think of Stally?" He asked with a grin as he puffs out his chest.Zera scans the cruiser momentarily before setting her gaze back to its captain. "She's as vibrant as ever." She remarked with a smile.Ryker wore a stoic expression as he glances at the two. 'Why are they talking as if the cruiser is a living thing?'Just then, Ming approached them."Ming..." Zera said in a cold tone.Ryker felt a chill run down his spine. She gave off the same vibe as earlier when they met. The look was aimed at the android yet he felt restless."Zera..." Ming responded in a similar manner."I see Jackie still hasn't taken you for recycling.""I see you're still trying to pass off as a young and beautiful woman despite being an old hag."A vein popped on the vampire's head.

Keith snapped at Tommaso. "Watch how you address me. I'm the captain here." "Pfft. Have you forgotten that I'm merely a part of your clan for conditional reasons? We're here to win the access codes." "Yeah yeah but that doesn't change the fact that I'm thr boss around here." Tommaso brushes off Keith's shoulder and made his way to the bed. He sat down and clutches his hands. His body was shaking excessively as he lowers his head. "That girl was stupid enough to awaken my taste for blood.""You almost killed her. As much as I love a good showing of brutality, that would have disqualified you." "You think your brother would just sit by and let me kill his clan mate?

"I'm afraid not, lad." The dust clears and Jester remains standing although he had suffered considerable damage from the attack. He held his shoulder as his clones gathered around him. "These are your super clones?""The boy who barely killed one of my fingers has developed this much?" Jester didn't bat an eye away from Ace. He can share the same memories as his clones, so he recalls all the events that transpired with his clone that fought beside Rada Khan. "Harold," Ace looked at the Dark Saint.
