Duke: Verdana ? Verdana ?

Verdana: (woke up) Duke.. ?

Duke: are you ok ?

Verdana: I'm ok ? Where's Maddie

Maddie: right here

(The trio stood up)

At first sight, the area is filled with black trees, and unusual smell of something rotten and the sky basically stuck in an eternal darkness with a moon)

Verdana: I'm freaked out....

Duke: me too

Maddie: It's here....

Duke: what's here ?

Maddie: Just follow me

Duke: Maddie

Verdana: wait ! We don't even know where we are, we have no proper knowledge of that place

Maddie: I don't know but I'm sensing something.... Familiar , follow me

Duke: (sighs)

(They followed her until they reached a town) brick houses , street in a blue pavage)

Maddie: that place looks so sad

Verdana: I wish the others were here

Duke: mmm... Maddie, what are we looking for

Maddie: someone named Xelabel.... She kept telling me to me her here-

Xela: took you long enough

Verdana/Duke: huh ?

Maddie: so you're the one calling for me

Xela: indeed. Look at you, from a little runt to a good looking woman

Maddie: ....

Xela: so you brought your friends... good I shall play with them

Maddie: play ? If you attempt to harm them-

Xela: Hmph 😌

Maddie: what do you want from me ? I'm glad to see a family member but you don't seem sympathetic

Xela: indeed

Verdana: you met your sister so can't we go

Xela: I'm afraid I can't do that pretty

Duke: Why not ?

Xela: I'm on a mission to retrieve the polyhedra from you newbies

Maddie: h-how do you know that ?

Xela: I have reliable people also you're up against the 2nd of the twelve antiknights

Duke:

Verdana: does that mean we have to fight ?

Xela: yeah (she pulled out a rocket launcher and blast Verdana)

Duke: Verdana !

Verdana: (screams)

(Duke dragged her towards her)

Verdana: thanks
