Alexa, Kevin and Jones are having their bruises and wounds being treated by other Retribution Rangers, Alexa has a bandage round her ribs.
"Surprisingly you weren't hurt too bad but take these bandages about a sort of precaution, you would be able to remove it in 2 to 3 days", a female Retribution Ranger said
"Thank you", Alexa said rubbing the bandage "And sorry to you guys I was a little too reckless"
"It's okay", Kevin said
"I don't think it is", Jones said
"Okay Jones I'm going to need you to take a deep breath", said another woman who was holding on to Jones' dislocated right shoulder, then she shifts it back to position.
"FUCK!", Jones screams holding his shoulder "Fuck that shit hurt, huh wait the pain is gone, that was quick", Jones said rotating his shoulder.
"Well you didn't take that with dignity for all the tough guy you are, besides didn't all of us get attacked how come you're the one with a dislocated shoulder", Kevin said
"We weren't hit the same way", Jones said
"Excuses", Kevin said as a man pointed light into his eyes
"Well Kevin, incredibly you're good to go not a single scratch", the man said
"Not a single scratch?", Jones said shocked and confused
"That's not possible at the time you had a huge tear on your left arm, how is that gone?", Alexa asked
"More demon powers I guess", Kevin said
"Demon powers?", The man asked
Just then Captain Elijah enters into the tent.
"You guys okay?", He asked
"Yeah, we're good", Alexa said
"That's great, Kevin can you come with me, you two can come if you want as well", he said and all three of them stood up following him out. Alexa put her shirt back on

"So you say you're The Demon King's son, right?", Captain Elijah asked as they strolled through the camp of the Retribution Rangers,
"Yes, I am"
"Okay, so what is this your perception of Zendrick across the border?", Elijah asked stopping them in front of a house
"Zendrick is a hero, I mean he saved the world from my evil father and all, just hate the fact that he probably hates me", Kevin said
"Na, knowing Zendrick he probably just being cautious", Jones said
"I mean I personally always thought he was off", Alexa said
" I don't know whose been telling your lies but if you want the truth what I have in this building will show you, do you want to see", Captain Elijah said holding the door
"Sure, what's the worse that could be in there", Alexa said
"I'm not sure about that, Alexa", Jones said
"You guys need to relax", Alexa said
"Okay then", Captain Elijah opens the door and there are at least fifty children from five to thirteen in the room.
"Captain Elijah!", Most of the children said excited
"Is he storing children?" Kevin whispered to Alexa
"Seriously?", Alexa said looking at him
"What? He might have saved us but I am not going to trust a random stranger who had no hesitation to insult my hero and call my Mum a liar", Kevin said
"Hey kids, well it's time to eat but before that, Kevin woyld you bother to ask these kids why they are here?", Captain Elijah said
"Do you think he heard me", Kevin said walking up to the kids, he asked the first one a girl about nine
"Hey little girl, why are you here?"
"Well five years ago my village was attacked by a couple of demons and my parents died", she said
"Whoa! Sorry to hear that, that is incredibly sad but you can't really direct that at Zendrick what if it as some wild demons or something", Kevin said
"Wild demons?", Captain Elijah said chuckling "Come on keep asking"
Kevin asked the boy that was about the previous girls' age
"And what about you, what happened to your parents", Kevin asked
"Well, my family owed Zendrick some money and then he sent some demons to take them I haven't seen the", a tear rolls down his eye as he says it
"Oh sorry I didn't mean to make you cry, I'm sorry", Kevin said
"So all these kids are orphans because of Zendrick?", Alexa asked
"Still think he's your hero", Captain Elijah asked
"It can't be all of them, could it?", Kevin said then looked at a bit about 11 years old "What happened to your parents"
"Well I am a prince", the boy said
"That's great why are you here, then", Kevin asked
"Well I am hiding from Zendrick because he is trying to kill all royals from all kingdoms so he would totally rule", the boy continued
"Okay, one last one,how about you?", Kevin said referring to the six year old girl behind me
"He's my brother", she said
"Okay, that's enough, sorry for any of the problems that might have put some of you through saying that, you guys can go", said Captain Elijah and the children flooded out of the building
"But why did my mother lie, I mean I've heard the story dozens of time and it never changed", said Kevin
"Maybe we should go back and get some answers", Jones said
"Well you couldn't go now it's sunset", Captain Elijah
"I don't even want to go back yet", Alexa said
"Why?", Kevin asked
"I mean I'm pretty sure Zendrick is going to have more answers than your Mum plus we can stop him and be the real fairy tales", Alexa said
"Well, won't our parents be worried sick", Jones said
"We could just write to them", Alexa said
"Fine, I guess", Kevin said
"So, Captain Elijah we would like to join the Retribution Rangers", Alexa said
"Well it's not that simple, sure we could use number but people die are you sure you're ready to risk it?", Captain Elijah asked
"Guys maybe we should think about this", Jones said
"Yes, I am the Demon King's son after all and you guys need me and I need answers", Kevin said
"What the fuck, since when did you have pride", Jones said
"You know I'm already in", Alexa said
"What about you, Jones?", Captain Elijah asked
"Yes, but if I die it is on your heads", Jones said
What the hell are we doing , no what I'm I doing, I just signed up for death and dragged them in this is a horrible idea , Kevin thought with a smile on his face.
