After your fight with Tien, the town of joyus is left in ruins. You close Tiens' eyes and leave. Your journey through the mountains continues. Meanwhile, in the city, Loyd is preparing himself.

ASG: You think this will work?
LYD: If you can't beat them with quality, beat them with quantity. Training these troops will prove helpful against them.
ASG: I'm happy you have such faith in yourself.

Loyd has recruited some of the finest marksman and fighters of the city to aid in battle against the enemy. Komi is training them as Loyd watches from his quarters. Toriel on the other hand is helping the women learn healing magic. Although it isn't on the scale of Ambers or Toriels, it will still help fight.

LYD: May I interest you in some tea?
ASG: Oh It's quite alright.
LYD: I insist. Over here we have some exquisite tea.
ASG: Guess I could try some.

After a lot of tea later.

ASG: So Loyd, I've noticed you don't look too well. Is there something bothering you?
LYD: Don't bother. It's nothing.
ASG: If it has to do with my presence, I will leave.
LYD: It doesn't have to do with you staying here.
ASG: Then tell me.
LYD: *deep sigh* I'm... it's nothing to worry about.
ASG: Fine, but if you ever need to talk to anyone.
LYD: Thanks Asgore.

Asgore gets up and leaves the quarters. Loyd stares out of the window, looking at the troops.
*RING*
It's the soulcomms. Loyd picks it up.

LYD: Loyd speaking, who is calling?
FSK: It's me, Frisk. How's it going with your plan?
LYD: They're advancing pretty well if you ask me.
FSK: And you? How are you feeling? Are you ready?
LYD: I was born ready.
FSK: Good to know. I called to inform you that we've managed to pull Chara out of the void. Well, chara and some of her friends.
LYD: Good to hear. We can really use another pair of hands. Especially a former knights'.
FSK: Couldn't agree more.
LYD: Anything else you want to tell me?
FSK: Negative. I'll talk to you later. Good luck.
LYD: Yeah... bye.

As Loyd turns off the comms, a shot is heard outside. Loyd looks out of the balcony and sees the troops laughing. Komi is covering her face. Seems like one of the recruits shot his weapon accidentally and knocked his hat off.

LYD: *sigh* They have a lot to learn.

Loyd goes back inside and sits down on his ol' couch. He drifts off into sleep.
