"--We are the Eye of the Midnight Sun...The ones who will destroy the Clover Kingdom."

Nolan and Naotoshi quickly charged at them just Valtos's magic started to engulf them. They each hit them with their magic and weapons, but they had missed as they finally disappeared completely as it made them have a look of shock.

"No!" Noelle exclaimed with a look of horror.

"Not again!" Pluck said.

Nolan's arm shook as he stepped to where the group... The eye of the Midnight Sun had once stood. "Prism..." He said softly before with all of his rage he slammed his spear on the ground causing the tiles to shatter as all he could do was let out a scream.

    Noelle stood as she only looked petrified, "...They took them... They... Actually took them..."

    "... They... Even got Prism..." Morwyn said as she fell to her knees, "... All hope is lost..."

    Nolan soon had a glare on his face, "Naotoshi... Can you get Zeus for me? At the headquarters?"

    Naotoshi flinched at his tone but remained calm, "Why?"

    "You know why. He knows Prism's scent by heart--" Nolan soon explained, as he stood, the fire in his eyes had been clear, "--He'll take me to her, and then I'll get them all back."

    Naotoshi soon placed his hand on his shoulder as he told him calmly, "Take it easy, Nolan. I get you're angry but--"

    "Take it easy?" Nolan said, before he had sounded aggressive, "Those bastards took my niece! My sister's one and ONLY child! You think I'm going to take it easy now?!" He clenched his weapon in hand, "I'M GOING TO KILL THEM FOR WHAT THEY DID."

    Naotoshi soon gripped his shoulders as this time, he told him more firmly, "Nolan! I know what she means! But you can't lose yourselves now! Not when Prism just got you back!" Natoshi soon took a deep breath before he looked directly into his eyes, "... Remember your parents..."

    Nolan soon flinched at this while most of the others had been left confused by this. All except for Pluck as he had a troubled look as he looked to the side at the mention of it.

    "... They wouldn't want you to lose yourself to the darkness after so long..." Naotoshi told him, as his voice sounded soft, "... Like they did."

    Nolan could feel his rageful thoughts seemed to have calmed down as his magic had deactivated. Naotoshi only patted him on the shoulder, "There you go."

    "We have to go after them!" Noelle soon said.

    "Noelle--" Klaus soon said as he fixed his glasses, "--We can't."

    "What do you mean we can't!?" Fafanar exclaimed, "They're our friends!"

    "Not to mention they've got Prism!" Arfau added, "AKA the Princess only heir to the Clover throne!"

    "Don't say it out loud!" Klaus scolded as it made him flinch before he sighed, "It's unfortunate... But we have no other way of tracking them. Even with Nolan's beast partner who knows how long it'll take to even find them."

    "AND YOU'RE JUST GONNA GIVE IN LIKE THAT?!" Pluck shouted as he shook Klaus, "THEY GOT MY BEST FRIEND YOU KNOW!?"

    "He's right, so we have to--" Noelle started to say before she had been cut off.
