  A man in a cloak stepped into a dark room. A lone figure stood inside, staring into the abyss.

"Master, we lost two rooks and a knight," the figure reported.

The cloaked man turned slowly, his voice calm yet ominous. "I suppose it's time. The little man is going to fight." With that, he stepped out of the room.

"Are we launching an attack, Master?" the figure asked hesitantly.

"No," the man replied. "I'm going to stop it. There's another beast on that planet." Then, without another word, he vanished.

At Little Garden

Mr. Goat was still battling Elizabeth. He was exhausted, bloodied, and barely standing.

"Haha... Time’s up, old man," she sneered, raising her sniper rifle.

She pulled the trigger.

Before the bullet could hit, Kichu rushed forward, blocking it with his sword. Elizabeth’s eyes widened in shock, and she lowered her weapon.

"No... No, you can’t fight, darling," she stammered. "My master said if you fight, I’m dead." She hesitated, raising both hands in surrender.

"This won't end well if you don’t fight back," Roco warned, raising his guns.

Elizabeth turned to him with a frown. "And who the hell are you?"

"I'm Roberto Roco. Sorry for the late introduction," he said, activating his Elemental Shield.

Kichu grinned at Roco before stepping forward with his sword.

"Elementia? Haha… That’s surprising," Elizabeth muttered. She pulled out a shield and a sword, ready for battle.

Roco fired at her while Kichu lunged. Elizabeth blocked the bullets and met Kichu’s attack head-on.

"It's only a matter of time before your sword breaks apart," she taunted, clashing blades with him. She struck, but Kichu dodged and slashed her back.

Roco saw an opening and fired, but Elizabeth blocked with her shield and countered with a flamethrower. Fire roared toward them, but they defended themselves and kept attacking.

Meanwhile, Mr. Goat stirred, his vision blurred. He crawled toward the restaurant, struggling to stay conscious.

Suddenly, a girl ran to him with a first aid kit.

"Grandpa... Here, take this!" She carefully bandaged him and tried to help him up.

"You shouldn’t be out here. Get inside where it’s safe," he groaned.

"You want me to abandon you? Forget it," she snapped, shoving a sturdy stick into his hand.

Leaning on the stick, Mr. Goat slowly stood and limped toward the restaurant.

"Where are you going, Mr. Goat?"

A deep voice rang out behind him.

Mr. Goat froze. He recognized that voice. Turning around, he saw him.

"Hawks? What are you doing here?"

Hawks grinned. "Oh, you remember me? That’s good. We have a lot to talk about."

Mr. Goat’s eyes widened. "Run!" he shouted at the girl.

She turned to flee, but Hawks raised his gun and fired.

Before the bullet could hit, Roco appeared out of nowhere, grabbing the girl and shielding her.

"You okay?" he asked.
