Gregory, Kelsey, Mai and Saige find themselves walking through Diamante’s town square with a statue in the middle. “So this is Diamante.”, says Saige. “You said that already.”, says Mai. “I know just.. looks more like a humble town than a city.”, says Saige. “I’ve never been to Diamante Kingdom myself, until now, but that may be due to the poorness of the populus. But you’re right, it makes the town look more humble.”, says Gregory.

  They stop at the statue in the middle of the square. “Who’s that?”, asks Saige. “Probably one of the older monarchs.”, says Gregory. Gregory then reads the plaque on the front of it. “Says, King Desmond The 3rd, who is being commemorated for his heroic stature in the face of adversity. And his superior battle tactics in the line of duty during the war of the five kingdoms.”

  A middle aged, grey haired man shows up beside them. “My ass, am I right?”, says the middle aged man. “Um.. yeah.”, says Gregory with uncertainty. “Yeah, all the guy ever did was boss people around, steal from the poor and beat his kids.”, says the middle aged man. “Wait, how do you know that?”, asks Mai. “Who cares how I know that?”, says the middle aged man.

  The middle aged man then smashes a bottle on the statue. “Screw King Desmond the 3rd!”, he yells. An officer walks on over. “Hey! What are you doing, causing a scene!?”, shouts the officer. “What are ya gonna do, lock me up?”, says the middle aged man, right before spitting in the officer’s face.

  “That guy’s definitely gonna get executed.”, says Gregory. The officer looks over to the group. “Huh? White hair? You, reveal your identity.”, says the officer, talking to Saige. They run away. “Hey, we got runners!”, shouts the officer, as he blows a whistle and chases them. Two more guards appear and go in to chase them, while shooting guns. “AH, they got guns!?”, shouts Mai. “What’d ya expect?”, says Saige.

  They get chased into an alley and get surrounded by six officers. The group go back-to-back. Mai takes out a bat, Gregory takes out his arm cannon, Kelsey takes out her blaster and Saige activates his demon form. “So it was true. Saige is here. And we have him cornered.”, says the officer. “Congrats. Now ready for your beat down?”, says Saige. The officers take out electrified stun rods. “What are those?”, asks Saige. “They look like stun rods. They’re designed to knock you out from shock.”, says Gregory.

  Mai turns her bat into a pole staff. “Take them all in alive.”, says the lead officer.

  Two officers go to rush Saige. He dodges multiple jabs, then elbows one in the jaw, and smacks two heads together. One goes up to Mai. She spins around her pole staff and knocks the stun stick out of the officer’s hand, then jabs them in the chest and face and whacks them back. An officer approaches Kelsey and she dodges, and swings the guard over her back, then stomps the officer in the face. Two officers rush Gregory, they try to stun him, he blocks with his arm cannon, then bashes them apart, grabs another and throws them onto another officer. The officers are now disoriented and on the ground. “Now come on, let’s go.”, says Gregory. The group then runs off.

  *Later on, in the evening, the group walk through a random street. “So far, no sign of ‘him’.”, says Gregory. “Really, where could he be hiding?”, says Saige. “I say for now we head back to the base of operations. See how the rest of the teams did.”, says Gregory. “Probably for the best.”, says Mai. The team then suddenly spot a sign with Kelsey’s helmet drawn on it. “You know I’ve been seeing a few of these signs around, but this is the first I’ve noticed what’s on it. Kelsey?”, says Mai Guilty. I kinda got a reputation after I helped free enough civilians while working with Tigerlily and the rest. Luckily though, they only know me by my helmet.”, says Kelsey. “Okay, this is something you could’ve told us sooner. Imagine I didn’t take off your helmet.”, says Mai. “Okay, maybe I should’ve mentioned it sooner.”, says Kelsey.

  Meanwhile, with King Desmond, he’s busy eating dinner at his dinner table with his wife and child. Suddenly he gets interrupted by an officer. “Your majesty!”, says the officer. “Oh this had better be good! You know how much I hate being interrupted while in the middle of my meal!”, says King Desmond. “It is, your majesty!”, says the officer. “Well what is it?”, asks King Desmond. “We found Saige! He really is in Diamante Kingdom!”, says the officer. “This is great news! Promote the officer who captured him”, says King Desmond. “But he escaped.

  King Desmond stands from his chair and looks the officer dead in the eyes. “You let him escape? And you had the audacity to interrupt my meal and lead me on!?”, says King Desmond. “W-Wait, your majesty, I-”, says the officer, but King Desmond cuts him off. “Officers, I sentence this officer to death! Off with his head!”, says King Desmond. Two officers come in to pull him away. “No! I’m very sorry your majesty! Ah! AAHHH!!”, says the officer, as he gets dragged away. “He’s gonna get executed?”, asks King Desmond’s young son. “That’s right Desmond Jr. To execution he goes. Now let’s sit down and continue to eat. Ohh, but don’t worry. I will get that Saige, mark my words.”, says King Desmond.
