Year 2024: New Mrakilin Headquarters

"James has been acting strange, hasn't he?" William asked the other 4 Mrakilins. "I noticed it too. He's been quite reserved since that invasion ended" Seno added.

"Is he sick?" Serani asked Timidly, Arcano shrugs, signalling "Who knows?". "He also didn't tell us what happened in that mothership. Maybe its connected.". William took a deep breath and replied, "You're right. We need to find out what happened that day and I'm damn sure that he has some records of it"

One day, when James had left his room unlocked to go somewhere, The 5 Mrakilins entered to see his records of that day and what they found shocked them. An Audio file was available and in the end, before the Video file corrupted, the only thing it heard was,

                                     "So, is it inevitable? Will I become you?"

                                     In a low, feeble voice, the Man replied, "You will become... the
                                     Conqueror of WORLDS!"

The Video ends and the 5 Mrakilin sit there in utter disbelief.

"So, he lied to us" Arcano started

William stood up and quickly came to defend his friend, "You don't know that! He must've hidden this for a reason"

Seno stepped up and walked in front of William. "He hid this from us and It's pretty clear why. So, unless you're too pussy to do something about it, WE will."

Ares commented, "Let's not be hasty here."

"No, we HAVE to make a decision here." Arcano replied.

"Lets just confront him" Serani commented timidly.

All 5 of them were having their own ideas but William was in deep thought for a while and had an idea.

"ENOUGH!" WIlliam shouted, slamming his hand on the nearby table. He continued, "I've made a decision. And I believe this is the best decision we can come to."

And this.. Would be James Mrakilin's last night.

DAY 5

With Arcano defeated, the Mrakilins now think of their next move. William decides to have both Seno and Serani fight James since James has the rings of Ares and Arcano and that other ring...

"You both can do this. Trust me" William told the two.

With the new day, Vashrak speeds into the Colosseum. William announces, "Today! We have 2 contenders for Mr. Vashrak to fight! Please welcome, Serani and Seno!"

The crowd goes wild. Serani is the pretty face of the Mrakilin group in public and Seno is a smart man who has proved his capabilities multiple times so, both of them fighting together against the Unknown contender was an interesting combination.

Vashrak thought to himself, "Seno by himself is not a problem but Serani... She puts on a timid face in front of people but because of her power interpretation, she has to go insane to use the Power of Athena."

Both of them look at Vashrak. "Is.. Is that really you James?" Serani asked/ Seno stopped her from asking anything. "You look like shit" Seno told Vashrak but Vashrak simply laughed and said, "You're gonna look worse than me when we're done."

Vashrak looked to the throne and Shouted, "William! Since I'm fighting 2 of you, Can I use 2 rings?!" William, clearly annoyed, "Yes, Yes, you may.". Vashrak then takes off his white ring and puts on the ring he took from Ares. "Not using Arcano's?" Seno thought to himself but Vashrak sees Seno's reaction and comments, "I don't want to make it too easy for myself. I want a FIGHT"
