Kang Wen's eyes darted around her for possible routes of escape. None were found.

Realization dawned on her when she realized Jason, Ron and Ran were not the only ones there. The rest of the dark Knights, who were old burly men, stood guard on all the escape routes.

Four of them were buff and huge and totally different from Ron and Ran, who were small and cute.

Jason smirked, "Looking for a way to escape, princess?" He must be addressing Kang Wen.

The latter glared at him, as she spat out, "Only a coward escapes."

"Good that you think so. Jake, get her." One of the buff men, Jake, stepped out of his spot and stomped to where Kang Wen was.

He grabbed her by her shoulders as he shouted to her in his gruff voice, "Move it!"

Jackson growled angrily as he pushed Jake away, "Stay away from her!" With that, he grabbed her hands and took off. He ran past the other three Dark Knights who were hot on their trail.

"Run all you want, Prince Jackson. But you'll come back. Definitely. For your weak, useless guards here." Jason spat, smirking evilly at Karry and Roy who were currently struggling against Ron and Ran respectively.

Run. That was all Kang Wen could think of.
~~~
Puff Puff.

Puff Puff.

"What are we going to do now??" Kang Wen gasped for air, as she watched Jackson(who by the way didn't even seen out of breath).

Jackson had his head in his hands as he stared down at the ground, troubled.

Slowly he looked up and his eyes met Kang Wen's. Tears were brimming the side of his eyes as he choked out, "Karry and Roy...they're back there. I just left them."

Kang Wen quickly pulled Jackson into her arms and whispered soothing words into his ears despite the fact that her heart was banging against her ribcage really quickly. She tried to ignore her heart and chose to calm Jackson down.

"Come on. We have no time to lose. Let's find daddy." Was all Kang Wen said after Jackson calmed down.

They found Kang Zhen in his office, with several other government worker, having a meeting.

Kang Zhen was quite annoyed when two kids burst into the room, interrupting the meeting, and spouting nonsense.

"Dad- he-we-Knights-guard-" Kang Wen stuttered, panting. After all, she had ran here with Jackson and boy, was she unfit.

Kang Zhen drowned in disapproval as he said, "Speak in full sentence, please."

Jackson stepped forward, not looking the slightest bit tired, and said with full authority in his voice, "Karry and Roy have been kidnapped by the Dark Knights."

Kang Zhen and several of the government workers quickly stood up, giving each other worried glances.

"Prince Jackson. Tell us everything." Kang Zhen said and Jackson launched into a simplified version of what had happened.
~~~
Mr Huang, one of the government workers, spoke up, "I suggest we get back Karry and Roy ASAP."

Jackson nodded, "Yes. So, what are we gonna do now?"

Kang Wen glanced at her father, "Daddy, Jason is the leader of the rebels. And according to what you have told us, The Dark Knights have plans to take Jackson for himself. So there is no doubt that they have their own plans that Jason doesn't know about."

Mr Zhang nodded in agreement, "It's going to be hard saving-"

Before he could finish his sentence, the government's best hacker, Mr Kim, spoke up, "Sir, someone is trying to break into our system. Shall I let him through?"
