"Gantala! You bastard, what have you done!?"

Gantala had stabbed Jake in the back. He didn't pay heed to the voices of Rohan, Rhea, and Chase who were calling out to their friend.

Ace had just arrived. "What in the world is going on?"

Gantala pushed Jake with his foot to withdraw the sword as he scrambled back to the side of Rada Khan.

Rohan glared at the two. "You two were in this together, from the very beginning."

"I'm afraid so, Roro. But you don't worry not one bit. I'll have you and all your friends here follow Jakey soon enough!"

"Then... When you said that Axel and Mel betrayed yo-"

"Those fools chose to die with their king. I chose to live with my emperor!"

"Gantala!"

Driven with rage, Rohan charged at the former General as their swords clashed.

"Rhea, please give up. Surrender and all this will stop, if I say a word to my liege he will show mercy."

Rhea stood silently as Kira urges her to surrender.

Kira might have been following the wrong leader, but she has no malice towar

    The battlefield shook with the vibrant cheers of everyone.Thanks to Conroy's quick actions in getting doctors, the fatally wounded received rapid first aid and were taken back to the city first.The total number of casualties on the ally's side was a mere 30 from the 100 that started the war and the 50 that provided backup with Ace.Although the casualties were below half. The allies still grieved the death of the others. It was one thing if they were only soldiers, but some of the citizens volunteered to join the war. "They fought valiantly for their freedom." "Their sacrifices were not in vain. That's what's important." The enemy side suffered a whooping casualty of 300. The soldiers were taken, prisoners."We'll have them all lend a hand in rebuilding the districts."Reginald, Jake, and Kaz having suffered the most from being stabbed spent three days in the infirmary."Hihi.

Unfazed, Barbaros grabs the leg of the Saint and slams him hard on the ground creating a man-sized hole in the process."Hahahaha."

    It has been a couple of days since Rohan ascended the throne of Cronoa as its new king. Rohan is currently addressing the citizens as Rhea and the Enders were standing behind him. I, Rohan Khan, swear to serve you all with all my might! Through thick and thin till I bring this Nation back to its feet."He went silent to examine the expressions on the faces of all the people that had gathered around the castle. Rohan was nervous, he had never given a speech in his life. He coughs and continues... "I know, me ascending to the throne was because of a coup that followed a dreadful reign from a tyrant who got into power due to a coup of his own." At first, the majority were skeptical in accepting Rohan as the new King. For some, it was since he was related to the man that took the throne from the former king and nearly destroyed the Region. Others merely wanted to take the throne for themselves. They were the lords and nobles or relatives of the royal family. A minority of those f

Keith retorted. "We're putting an end to this madness, you've gone too far father." "Father?" Stark scoffed. "Ungrateful fools like you have no right to call me father." The twins gritted their teeth. "Ready?" Ace asked not taking his eyes off theur father. "No," Keith replied calmy. "But then again who can actually get ready to take on the world's greatest assasin on the top of a dragon?" "Hehe, you're right I guess." The two smiled. Ace having received a shadow thanks to Reginald, created a pair of shadow daggers. Keith followed suit making a pair with his miasma. "And now, for the extra touch." The ex-assasin smiled. He coated the shadow daggers with hus dark aura making them larger by a little. "Not fair..." Keith pouted making the ex-assasin to laugh sheepishly. Stark remained unfa

    The just-risen sun shone softly on the city streets, bringing with it a flurry of early-morning activity."It's nice to see things getting back in order around here."Vorus smiled as he waves at the citizens of the Kondo District. He was pleased to see the smiling faces of the ever so hardworking people.The Aegises were currently taking a stroll through the streets of the city."What's nicer is that everything is behind us now," Conroy added. "Khan and Jester are no more, I and Sir Vorus had personally handpicked a replacement for the post of District commanders.Vorus nodded. "Yeah, they're trustworthy and honest people too who promised to help in rebuilding the districts.""I was worried you two might decide to stay. Especially you, Conroy. Well with the letter and all." Ace said with a faint smile.The two looked at each other and turned to address their captain."Just because I'm away doesn't mean I can't keep tabs on Kondo. I asked the new District commander that will arrive to

    ""And that, my friends was how Ace and I met." Ernie finished his narration to his clanmates. They were currently taking a stroll on the streets of Border Town. "Wow," said Conroy. "Sir Ace learned a lot from you and Sir Kaz."Yep, Kaz always saw the good in him. Being an assassin may have been his birthright, but it wasn't his calling." "You inspired the captain to go on an adventure!" Vorus exclaims. "Vorus are you crying?" Maggie asks. "What? No!" The former district commander refuted. I was just thinking of all the training I have to do, there were so many that I started sweating before I even got the chance to train. "Right." She rolls her eyes. "Anyway, shouldn't we get back to the Ark?" She asks. "In case of Ace calls, we left all our phones there you know." Ernie places his arm around the historian's neck. "Relax, Master. I can call you Magster right?" "I uh.." "Great! You don't have to worry about Ace, Kaz, and what's his name. They're in capable hands and will look

    The location was the deck of the Dragonheart."Finally!"Ace throws his hands into the sky."We can get back to our adventures.""For once, I actually don't mind going into a crypt. It's much better than fighting a war.""What's our destination, Sir Ace? I'll input the coordinates into the Ark's navigational system.""Let's see..." Ace pulls out a paper that had the list containing the locations of the twelve zodiac crypts."Our next destination is a place right outside of Kirivard. We're going to Gr-"Before he could finish."Grim Forest. Also known as the forest of eternal night."Maggie finished for him as they all looked at her."What? I memorized all the locations of the twelve zodiac crypts."She went on to show them a page on her journal that had a list identical to the one Ace was carrying.Ace laughs this off as he nods."That's right, Grim Forest is our next stop!"Conroy tugs at the coat of the ex-assassin.

    Kaz had made his way back to the Carriage given to him by Vorus.He made a stop at Black Seed Market to clarify certain things about Jester."Honestly though. How strong are the dons? If we had faced the original Jester...""Oy! Where do you think you're going?""I can ask you the same thing."Kaz looked at Adacus who was carrying his luggage around his back."I meant, where do you think you're going without me?"Kaz tilted his head."Huh?""You're returning to the Eastern Continent are you not?"Kaz nods."Good, take me with you.""As much as I hate going there, I have to report my findings to those old fossils."The two rode off.Meanwhile..."Ahhhh!""Sir Ace, do something!""Guys...

    "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..."

    "Finally!" Ryker exclaimed as he spreads his arms apart. "I can breathe fresh air again!"He, Jackal and Zera have made their way back to the Black Stallion."Well?" Jackal turned to the vampire. "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 thought you knew him better than that given that you two are twins." Keith clicked his tongue. "If I was you, I'd be worr

"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. "Can I count on you and Jacob to take care of these clones? I want Jester myself." The two Saints nod their heads as the four clones divided themselves and approached them. "Kisha!"
