Chapter 19: I want Barbecue.

Mark and Harold, still in awe of the Pluma ni Pepe's revelation, exchanged a glance that spoke volumes. The air was thick with anticipation as Patrick approached them, a knowing smile on his face.

"The Pluma has found its wielder," Patrick declared calmly, his voice echoing over the battlefield. He recognized the seriousness of the situation, realizing that the events occurring were much beyond the conflicts they had previously encountered.

Mark, on the other hand, responded with a mix of bewilderment and indignation. He burst out laughing, his eyes shining with evil intent. "This is far from over," he insisted firmly. "He who knows everything will know about your Interference!"" With those foreboding comments, Mark retreated into the darkness, leaving Harold and Patrick to wonder about the actual magnitude of the problems ahead.

In another corner of the battlefield, Kien displayed his unparalleled skill. With precision and efficiency, he single-handedly incapacitated his opponent, ensuring that they couldn't escape. The silent mastery of his actions spoke of a seasoned warrior, attuned to the nuances of combat.

Meanwhile, Patrick and Illumi, the enigmatic duo, engaged in a private conversation hidden from the prying eyes of SF-Zero. Their discussion delved into secrets and machinations that eluded the comprehension of those around them. The fate of the Pluma ni Pepe and its chosen wielder became a focal point, a pivotal element in a larger narrative that unfolded beyond the immediate battlefield.

As the two conversed, alliances were solidified elsewhere. Alli skillfully tied Reiner with unyielding chains, ensuring his confinement. Similarly, Bry and Alyana employed their tactical prowess, securing their respective opponents in chains as well. The battlefield, once a chaotic battleground, now became a stage for the aftermath of a decisive clash.

The atmospheree crackled with tension as the SF-Zero members guarded their captives, unaware of the unseen forces that continued to shape their destinies. The Pluma ni Pepe's influence lingered, an ethereal presence guiding the unfolding events.

Within the confines of the private conversation, Patrick and Illumi delved into the intricate web of fate and destiny. Illumi's piercing gaze held a depth of knowledge that transcended the immediate conflict. "The Pluma ni Pepe is a key to a greater power," Illumi whispered, his voice carrying an ancient resonance. "Its wielder will play a pivotal role in the impending battle against the forces that seek to exploit its essence."

Patrick, absorbing the weight of Illumi's words, recognized the responsibility that came with their newfound knowledge. The path ahead was fraught with challenges, alliances, and betrayals. The true nature of "He who knows everything" loomed as a formidable threat, and the Pluma ni Pepe's chosen wielder held the key to unraveling the mysteries that surrounded them.

Back on the battlefield, the captives strained against their chains, their eyes filled with defiance. Unbeknownst to them, they were mere pawns in a grander scheme, a prelude to a conflict that transcended the boundaries of their understanding.

Illumi, having concluded his private conversation with Patrick, approached Coleen, who smiled warmly, signaling her well-being amidst the lingering tension. Their silent exchange spoke volumes, a testament to the unspoken bonds that connected the members of SF-Zero.

Amidst the serious undertones, Alli injected a playful remark, teasing Illumi about his perpetual single status. "Looks like eternal love isn't in the cards for you," she joked, eliciting a chuckle from those within earshot.

Patrick, joining in the camaraderie, added with a sly grin, "Perhaps finding love is as elusive as unraveling the mysteries we face." The lighthearted banter provided a momentary reprieve, a chance for the team to share a collective smile in the midst of uncertainty.
