As the group slowly approach the castle, tension started to rise. Luna, walking in the middle of the group, looked up at the building.
"Jezus. It is bigger than I expected." She said to herself.
Ace was walking up front, taking the lead of the group as he was determined to confront anything that could be inside. Nats walked behind him. She was alert and vigilant as she scanned their surroundings for any danger. Luna kept the orb ready, in case she had to give it everything she had and Nova.. Nova was in the back with the rifle. She didn't really wanted to have it, but she had no choice at the moment than being ready to shoot at anything that could cause them harm. The group wasn't sure what they could expect inside, but as they arrived at the front door, Ace stopped for a second.

"Alright..." He said slowly with a deep breath.
He turned around to the others. "Maybe now is a good idea for you all to go back home." He suddenly said.
"What!?" Nova said as she pushed trough Nats and Luna on her way to Ace. "Are you out of your mind?" She pushed him to the wall.
"So.. You really think we are coming all the way here, just to leave you by yourself and go home?" Nats asked Ace as she joined Nova.
"This is something I have to do myself." Ace responded cold. "This is my curse. My fate I need to solve."
Nova was pissed and bald her fist, ready to punch Ace. At the moment she raised her hand Luna interfered.
"No." Luna suddenly said cold.
"No?" Ace was confused as he repeated what she said.
"That's right. No." Luna walked to Ace. "We agreed to join you on this mission in order to complete it. We are not.." She raised her voice a bit. "We are not going back now we are closer than ever!"
Nova nodded. "She's right. Like I said before. We fight together, we die together."
Nats sighed. "Ace listen." She walked closer to Ace. "Nobody knows who or what is inside this building. If it is LiHa, then you could use all the help we can offer." She put her hand on his shoulder. "Like it or not, we will join you in this final fight."
Ace looked at the three. "I cannot afford any more casualties. I promised your mother that you will come home safe." Ae said to Luna.
"And I will. But I come home with you." She sounded calming but there was a serious look in her eyes.
Nova interfered in the conversation. "I think it is time to see what is inside don't you all think?"
Nats and Luna both readied their rifle an nodded. "Ace?" Nova said as she looked him in the eyes. "Shall we?"
Ace looked at them one by one and then looked down and sighed. As he looked back up again he had a smirk on his face. "Alright then. Let's do this." He turned around and opened the door.

"Be ready my child." The voice said. It was a female voice that spoke to a young boy. "This might become tense."
"Yes Ma'am." The boy responded.
