"Y/n?" M/n called out to her daughter, noticing her figure walking in a hurry. She still haven't gotten any sleep and now it was midnight.

"..." Y/n just looked at her. Her aura was very different and strange in a weird way. It seemed like she just arrived back from somewhere as Y/n was still in her clothes that she used for battles. She then turned to her left, heading to her room again to finally get some rest.

M/n raised an eyebrow, frowning. She knew there was something up in her daughter, she can feel it. She watched her daughter disaapeared from her sight before looking at everyone in the cage with her.

The others were sleeping soundly after the tiring attempts of escape. M/n sighed, leaning her head against the wall in her back as she closed her eyes. She can only hope that when she wakes up, all of these nightmare will be gone.

Soon, morning came. The prisoners were harshly woken up by the guard who slammed his axe at the metal door, creating a loud bang.

"Get up! We need to move." The guard commanded, some of his comrade forced the riders to stand on their feet and dragged them outside.

The sun was barely visible in their eyes. Grimmel soon joined them, "Good morning my precious prisoners. I hope you got a sweet dreams, eh?"

All he got was a glare from the riders, for them, there was really no time for jokes as they were all filled with anger. The man sighed, giving orders to his soldiers to ready the transportation that they will need.

"Come on! We need to leave now!" Grimmel shouted as his soldiers finished preparing the death grippers.

The riders and the villagers had a worried look in their eyes.

"But sir, Y/n is still sleeping inside that cave. Shouldn't we at least wait fo-" One of the guards attempted to ask but was cut off by Grimmel.

"There's no time for waiting! It's not our concern anymore if she's not coming with us. It is her fault to become exhausted and not wake up early." He glared at his servant, fists clenching at his sides.

"But she's the owner of that crown, she'll be able to help-" Once again the guard was cut off by the same man.

"She is the owner of that crown, but I'll be the owner of that power." Grimmel smiled evilly, walking away.

The guard walked beside him, still trying to stop the man. With Grimmel annoyed, he grabbed the guard's sword before stabbing him in the stomach. Everyone gasped as they watched in horror.

The other guards dragged the riders with them, feeling scared for their life. Grimmel pulled out the sword making the poor guard screamed in pain. He then dropped the sword in front of the dying man, walking away to leave the island.

"What is wrong with you!?" Brant screamed, trying to untie the rope in his hands as he lift his foot to kick Grimmel.

The riders were now in the airship that was being lifted by the deathgrippers. Brant's eyes become pure black as he released some dark energy in an attempt to punch their enemy. All his effort went to nothing when Grimmel used his stupid powers again.

He stared at Brant with amusement as he drained his energy making the man collapsed. Hilde wanted to fight back for her brother's sake, but she knew it wouldn't do any damage. She could only glare at Grimmel who watched the riders with a wicked smile.

Meanwhile, Y/n grunted as she began to wake up from her deep sleep. She slowly sat on her bed, rubbing her eyes. A sigh escaped from her lips when she realized she was still on her tight black leggings and black long sleeve crop top. After her long day yesterday, she didn't bother to change to her sleepwear.
