The night came and went. Rider had promised to let Regent stay for the day. He had to keep up that promise. Else Regent might turn him red quicker than he hoped.

Sun was setting and Regent was sharpening his newly-made sword, this one shining blue. "Thanks, guys."

Goggles smiled. "You're welcome!"

Rider only looked outside, being alert as ever. "Yeah, whatever. There's people coming here."

"There is? Lemme see-" Regent asked, peering out besides the towering male. Indeed, there were two people approaching; one with a shirt of blue and red, and the other with some sort of flower crown. "That's Aloha and Army. Now's your chance to ask for an alliance dude."

"Yeah, yeah. Shut up Castillo." Rider grumbled. He walked out of the cave, and to the two males. "Aloha, Army. What brings you lot here?"

"Well, as you might have heard," Aloha started. "Mask is trying to start a war. We wish to limit any allies they can have, and we were wondering if you would like to join us."

"...One condition, if I may?" Rider started. "You do not force Goggles to fight."

"Deal." Army said, instantly. "Thanks, Rider."

"Anytime mate. ...And I got a question."

"What is it?" Aloha asked.

"...Can Regent join? He's being much more cautious and-"

Aloha sighed. "Don't think he'd be keen on joining the team of someone who took his life."

"-I wasn't finished." Rider said. He cleared his throat. "If he took your life, but Army took his in retaliation, then that scuffle is settled. A life for a life. If he tries to take it further, I'll kick his arse myself. But that does go for you two as well. Got it?"

Army nodded. "Fine. But if he dares harm Aloha-"

"Then I'll let you handle it. Don't worry mate, we got this all covered." Rider turned to his cave. "...You two wanna come in? I doubt it'd be safe walking home at night. You'd be better off staying the night with me."

"...Alright. Thanks, Rider." Aloha smiled. "And welcome to the Red Fields."
