"You heroes heard me loud and clear when I said that, I said that because I knew it was going to scare you all..." Rafal giggled.

Claude asked, "TELL ME RIGHT NOW WHAT THE HELL ZETHUS IS DOING TO MY HUSBAND!!"

"Zethus hasn't done anything wrong to Chrom, just using him for a special thing he's going to do in the near future... also your husband was corrupted under his true insanity, we ripped him apart," Rafal giggled.

Claude asked, "What... do you mean..."

"I did what I must, it's not that bad I promise you..." Rafal giggled. The heroes glared at him as Rafal swung his axe around. "You also must be wondering what the special thing is, right?"

Shez muttered, "Not like we already were thinking about that, but you don't have the willpower to even tell us."

"What was that Shez? Did I hear you?" Rafal questioned. Shez turned around and then didn't reply. Rafal smiled as he looked at the rest of the heroes. Most of them were in disbelief while Claude was distraught.

Celica muttered, "Using the Exalt of Ylisse for one of your schemes? Are you two using him because you're still jealous of all he has done to destroy Zethus?"

"You would need to axe Zethus for that answer because I am unable to speak for him..." Rafal laughed.

Celica shouted, "UNBELIEVABLE! AFTER EVERYTHING THAT HAS HAPPENED YOU REFUSE TO SPEAK FOR ZETHUS HIMSELF!? AREN'T YOU ONE OF HIS SERVANTS?! IF SO YOU SHOULD DO THE DIRTY WORK FOR HIM!!!"

"C-Celica! Calm yourself! You're not like this with anyone!" Shez yelled. Celica took a deep breath and looked down upon herself.

Rafal laughed, "I love seeing you heroes snap! You're so hilarious thinking I am going to react after hearing those words. 'Oh no! I better start speaking for Zethus because I made the caring princess angry!' HAH! As if!" The heroes stared at him in disgust as Claude looked at him with rage on his face.

"If you love seeing the heroes snap I suppose I should do another one for you and make sure you ACTUALLY get pissed about this one!" Claude yelled. The heroes looked at Claude in worry as Claude threw his bow onto the ground. Alcryst tried to stop him but Claude shoved him away.

Rafal asked, "Are you going to fight me with your bare hands? How cute, I can't wait to see you utterly fail at doing so." Claude didn't say a word, Rafal smiled at Claude as Claude just stood there staring at him. "Riegan?-"

"RAFAL I HAD ENOUGH OF ZETHUS! YOU AND HIM ARE NOTHING MORE THAN LOWSOME CREATURES!!" Claude shouted.

Rafal questioned, "W-What?"

"YOU HAVE HURT CHROM MORE TIMES THAN WHAT I CAN COUNT!! DO YOU KNOW WHEN TO EVER QUIT?! WHAT HAS CHROM DONE TO YOU?! HE HAS DONE NOTHING WRONG!! BUT IS IT BECAUSE HE BEAT YOU GUYS?! IS THAT THE ENTIRE FUCKING REASON?! I BELIEVE SO SINCE YOU CONTINUE USING HIM OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!

I AM DONE AND OVER WITH THIS, THE NEXT TIME I SEE YOU OR ZETHUS, ONE OF YOU IS BEING SLAUGHTERED, DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?!" Claude screamed. Rafal didn't say anything; he was just standing there in disbelief.

Celica muttered, "Claude..."

"DON'T SAY A WORD BEFORE I THROW HANDS AT YOU NEXT!!" Claude screamed. The heroes didn't say anything, Rafal didn't say anything either. He just took a deep breath and turned to the heroes.

Rafal sighed, "I don't even care about a word you said Claude. You can come after me and kill me, but that won't change the future that's going to come."

"WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN!??! ANSWER MEE!!!" Claude ordered. He attempted to attack Rafal but Shez and Kirby grabbed him in order to stop the attempted murder. Rafal didn't look back at the heroes.

Rafal muttered, "It might be too late..." Then he dashed away from the scene. The heroes all let go of Claude as he paused there, standing there staring down at himself.

"Too late?! That's so vague but that can mean a number of things!" Kirby shouted. Claude looked up as tears formed in his eyes, they soon came strolling down his eyes as Celica noticed and walked over. Alcryst noticed as well and joined Celica.

Claude muttered, "Don't tell me he used Chrom as a sacrifice... no... my husband NO!!! I WILL NEVER FORGIVE THEM!! THEY HAVE DONE TOO MUCH HARM!! THEY WILL NEVER BE FORGIVEN NOW!!" The two grabbed Claude as he continued screaming and crying.

"Claude! You need to keep it together!"

"MY BEAUTIFUL HUSBAND!!! NOO!!!!" Claude cried as he fell onto the ground. The heroes were unsure that Chrom was even alive. But became more and more fearful, was he alive? Was he dead already?

Shez grunted, "We need to find a way to go against Rafal! But what might be too late?!"

"SHEZ!" Kirby shouted as he pointed to a note. Shez walked over and read it over. "It says something about the heroes' energies being wasted, what does that mean?"

Shez muttered, "That only means one thing... Zethus has done something to the heroes, whether if that's sacrifice or something worse than that..."

"What could be worse than sacrificing a live being!?" Kirby questioned. Shez stood there staring at the note and then got worried.

Shez muttered, "He's using Chrom for his ultimate plan to drain the heroes of their energy and using their energy against us..."

"W-WHAT?!" Kirby asked. Shez nodded slowly as he turned to the rest of the heroes. They looked over in confusion as Claude looked over in tears.

Shez explained, "Chrom's not dead, but there's... something far worse."

"What's that?" Celica questioned. Shez walked over to the group and showed the note to everyone.
