     In one of the halls of the Shard court, the sounds of numerous grunts of pain resonated and in that hall, hiveling bodies laid on the ground. During the moment, a large five clawed slash surfaced on a male hiveling which made him grunt in pain and drop dead on the ground; in a swift manner Zera slashed another male hiveling a couple of times, thus making the hiveling drop to his knees and with no time being wasted, Zera twirls her body and lands a strong kick on the side of the hiveling's face that drove his head to the ground.

    "I am done, here." Schroeder said while staring down at numerous hivelings as his dark sand was swirling round him.

    "So am i." Zera said while walking towards Schroeder and  stretching her neck.

    "They didn't seem like much trouble." Schroeder said while still staring down.

   "Hey, Zotek! You were standing there and staring while we were doing the heavy liftings!" Zera said out of annoyance as her hand was on her waist while pointing her finger at Zotek who happened to be leaning on a wall with his arms crossed whilst staring at the ground, "Quit trying to act so cool!!"

    "You were the one that said you wanted this." Schroeder said with a blank face as his eyes moves towards her.

    At the time Zotek was staring at the ground, Zotek lifts his head  and glimpsed at the two.

    "Sorry about that. I was just thinking about something." Zotek said.

   "Thinking about something? Is that what kept you from joining?" Zera asked with a raised eyebrow.

    "Well, it's just Zotek being Zotek, i guess." Schroeder said, "Anyway, let's go."

    "Go... Where?" Zotek asked.

    "To warn the others, of course." Schroeder answered.

   "About what?" Zotek asked.

   "The hivelings." Schroeder said as his demeanor changed into a suspicious one.

    "Hivelings?" Zera asked her eyes moves at Schroeder, "You mean these intruders are the evolved insectoids?"

    "Yes, they are." Schroeder answered while facing forward, "I didn't know anything about them until Zotek told me."

    "I did?" Zotek asked.

    "Zotek, what's wrong?" Schroeder asked, "Why are you acting like you don't know anything?" 

    Zera immediately bursts into laughter while clutching her face.

    "Ok, i get it! I get it! He is trying to joke with us!" Zera said heartily, "Good one, Zotek!"

    "Zera, since you've known Zotek, have you ever seen him tell a joke or even 'laugh' at one?" Schroeder asked while facing forward with widened eyes.

    Hearing this, Zera's eyes quickly widened as well.

    "Zotek..." Zera said.

     As the two were staring at Zotek, a masculine voice chuckled and as Zera and Schroeder turned back, they saw the person to be an injured Uto, who happened to be sitting on the ground among hiveling bodies.

    "Looks like our plan worked." Uto said with a smile.

    Back at the arena, the audience gave a massive cheer as Lizira stood smirking.

     "Welcome back, everyone! We have finally arrived at the semifinals of this tournament and oh, we have something special to show you, something none of you ever saw coming!!!"
