As the three clashed. Their battle took them to a moving train, they land on top as Beatrix lands, with Cross landing across from her. Iris charges at him from behind he uses one sword to block her attack. She jumps back towards Beatrix as the two stood by ready for his attack. 

Cross: All right, let's continue. 

He holds one sword up pointing it at them. 

Cross: Do try not to fall off, won't you? 

<In an Ally> 

Rose was staring at someone who is offering her two choices. 

Rose: Two Choices? Who are you? 

Alpha: My name is Alpha, as for your two choices. The First is to continue your fight alone. 

She looked at her waiting for her to reveal the second Choice. 

Alpha: The other is to fight by our side in Shadow Garden. 

Hearing her say that, Rose took a step forward. 

Rose: Y-your the one I was sent to find... by ... by Lord Cross. 

Hearing Rose mention Cross in such a manner surprised her. 

Alpha: I see, so you've made your choice then? 

Rose: Lord Cross said to find you, and I did. But before I decide ... Do you have any intention of saving The Oriana Kingdom. 

Alpha stared at her. 

Alpha: We will do nothing to assist you as you are now. If you wish to save your kingdom, you must show us your worth. 

Hearing her say that, Rose looked at her confused.

Rose: My Worth? 

Alpha: Both your worth and the worth of the Oriana Kingdom. 

Rose looked at her , surprised by her answer. 

Rose: Does.. The Oriana Kingdom... have a chance to be saved? 

Alpha: That depends on you. 

She closes her eyes , as an Image of her family and loved ones flashes in her mind. Then Transitions to that of Cross and Asshat. But the final image was that of her dead father. She opened her eyes and looked at Alpha. 

Rose: I'm sorry, Father. .. I pledge to fight alongside you. 

She approaches her as she took her hand, Alpha's cloak moved as it wrapped around them. 

<The Fight> 

As the fight continued on the train, Iris crosses sword with him. 

Iris: Who are you? Who are you?! 

Cross: I am Cross Geats, the god of Darkness ... 

She gritted her teeth as she tries to over power him. Magical energy bursted forth from her sword, he stepped to the side as she rolled across the roof. Beatrix appeared behind him, he blocked her strike as she moved around him. 

Beatrix: My name is Beatrix. Your fighting style it somewhat matches that of my student. But -

He pushes her back , he aimed his sword at her and pulled the trigger. She blocks the blasts from him. Pushing her back a few inches. 

Cross: You both are truly wonderful opponents , I can fight you both for days on end. However... 

He jumped off the train as they followed him . 

Cross: This fight like all things! 

He pressed the side of his driver. A red aura erupted from him as the water spiraled around him.
