"I knew you'd come here, milady." Schwarz announced, standing in front of Ceylon and Angel.

The three were behind the large broadcast tower in the back of the amusement park, a large open space of sand for convenient fighting grounds.

"After Cronin turned you down, you'd try to use the broadcast tower to spread the news to the city."

"This won't work, milady. It will only spark confusion and chaos." Schwarz reasoned.

"And an eruption won't? We'd rather them run now than after the fact." Angel argued.

"But this will lead to the demise of the Obsidian Festival and Siesta as a whole." Schwarz began, but was interrupted.

"The people... Siesta needs to know the truth. There is no festival without the citizens of Siesta to celebrate it." Ceylon said with a glare.

"Master Doykos... he's has done many wrongs, but Siesta would not exist today were it not for his actions—"

"Because of him— it won't exist tomorrow if you don't get out of our way!" Angel shouted, clenching his fists in annoyance.

"Don't do something beyond redemption... Ceylon." Schwarz warned.

"You... You really think I'm just some child throwing a temper tantrum?" Ceylon asked softly.

"No, milady. I'll try to persuade Master Doykos, I promise you. But for now, leave that con artist, so we can head back together." Schwarz replied.

"...Don't talk to me like that." Ceylon muttered.

"I know you and Master Doykos don't see eye to eye, but for now let's head home first."

"I told you not to talk to me like that! I know you're trying to mend our relationship, but could you not be like that?!" Ceylon yelled.

"Why can't you treat me like you used to? Talk to me as a friend, Schwarz!" She shouted.

"I am simply a servant of the Doykos family." Schwarz responded.

"Don't say that! I don't want to hear you talk like that! What happened to you?! Why would you treat me like this?" Ceylon begged for answers.

"...You're plotting something." Schwarz said aiming her crossbow at Angel.

"Right on time." Angel whispered, "Will you be okay?"

"Yes. We need to have a long chat, after all." Ceylon whispered back.

Suddenly rushing towards Schwarz, a flank of security guards and bodyguards rushed from the entrance to broadcast tower to stop Angel.

Crouching down, he flew low to the sand and began to kick it up as he zoomed by, creating a smokescreen, and then a twirling torrent of sand as he leapt away from the amusement park.

"That slippery bastard... I should've never bought him a drink," Schwarz complained, before turning to Ceylon.

"Damnit! What is Rhodes Island doing here?!" Cronin shouted, held up in his office as Angel and Operator Vigna did the assault alone.

Zipping through the halls, from wall to wall, the Doctor searched every room over evidence, collecting every document related to V3 industries, the illegal Obsidian mining, and even untrustworthy and malicious bonds.

Vigna was standing in front of the entire line of bodyguards left to protect Cronin, but only one remained.

"Damn it all!" Cronin shouted.

"As long as I can escape, it's easy forge a registration!" Cronin announced, just as the Doctor came back from his spree.

Cronin threw a lamp into the window of his office, sprinting for it and leaping out.
