With the last of the gunpowder ignited and exploding across the castle and the servants continuing their fight. The villagers fled the castle in droves, frantically running home with their tails between their legs. Outside the front door of the castle the servants were celebrating, Sceptic was even performing a victory tune. They had chased the last of the castle invaders out of the castle. 

The castle and all of its inhabitants were safe.

They had won.

Everyone was all smiles and celebrating their victory.

Completely ignorant to the battle that had taken place up above them on the castle ramparts. Unaware of the tragedy that had befallen their master.

"And stay out you, bastards!" cried a triumphant Jin, who was waving a small sword he had borrowed from a toy soldier, to the retreating backs of the villagers . For once no one had it in them to correct his language.

"They'll definitely think twice before they mess with the likes of us." Spinner said proudly.

"Run you cowards!" shouted Mustard joining in and laughing.

"We truly are a force to be reckoned with." Magne said fondly looking at her companions.

"That was amazing. We sure showed them." Toga said smiling fondly at everyone but mostly JIn.

"I'll be damned it worked. We actually won." Hawks said with a wide grin.

"May they never darken our doors. Gentlemen, ladies we have successfully defended the castle. I am proud of each and everyone of you. It was an honor." Sako said bowing before the assembled servants with his hat to his chest.

Everyone had joined together to defend the castle catching the invaders by complete surprise and then fighting them off in their own special way. They all reflected fondly having their own favorite memory of the battle. It was also surprising that they had made an ally on the other side when one of the villagers had changed loyalties:

Toga had been whizzing across the entrance hall once more until she became embedded into a wooden column and struggled to free herself. That was until a hand came along and swiftly pulled her free, catching her completely off guard. She gazed up at a handsome young man with pale hair almost similar to Tenko except his ended in arrows? like a clock?

"I have had a change of heart. I no longer am on Kai Chisaki's side. I wish to help Tenko now and I feel the best way to do so would be to help all of you." Hari Kurono spoke gazing down at Toga.

Toga started out suspicious but could tell he was being sincere and smiled up at him "He doesn't deserve you anyway. Your far too good for him." 

Hari nodded sadly in agreement with a bittersweet smile only now realizing how true that statement was. Kai could not nor would ever share his affections.

"Well then care to give me a hand." she smiled up at him a subtle hint to get back into the fray.

"It would be an honor dear lady." Hari then straightened up and grasping Toga by the hilt he pulled his arm back before sending Toga flying across the room giggling all the way, she wound up snatching a powdered wig off a man who gasped while clasping a hand to his bare head.

Then Hari started punching and elbowing his way through the mob. Catching many of the villagers by surprise, that one of their own had been "possessed" by the castle. Causing many to flee at the sight. The castle was cursed that was true and it was best to leave it lest it follow them.

Toga fondly smiled at the memory of meeting the pointy haired young man and hoped he would remain a friend.

Jin then approached Toga catching her by surprise by pulling her into an embrace. "Toga, you were so brave. You made me look bad. I love you." Jin inadvertently confessed by slapping a hand over his mouth eyes wide in shock.
