Morgana woke up and looked at her phone to check what time it was. 5:00 am the clock read, she rubbed her eyes and looked out the window. The darkness seeped through the area like a blanket covering the sun not letting it through. Sighing she once again was reminded of what she needed to do. "We're almost there." She whispered just as the girls helped her get ready for battle. Everyone stood or rode on the backside line of battle. "Are we going to wait for them?" Zander asked making her scoff.

"Surprise attack, take them down." Morgana used her sword to direct them to go. Surprised but knew she was going to ask a direct attack and followed through. The scouts upfront checked for landmines or traps but were surprised that there weren't any. "Are we in luck, or are they out of ammo?" One of Ace's scouts asked him confused. "I say a trap." Ace looked around seeing not even any magitechs around. "I sealed with them last night." Morgana rode next to him surprising him.

"How the last time you tried?" Ace looked away not wanting to recall. "We have inside working for us, don't worry they are safe," Morgana assured him as he looked at her surprised. "We recently destroyed the factory that produced them." Xiao Heng reported as Yelü Xian nodded as he rode ahead. "So that's the secret mission." Sung Xiang pointed at him clicking his tongue. "After this, we can only wait and fight Darkus alone," Morgana said before hitting the reins so Entei could gallop as she readied her bow. She hit some guards down as some hopped down their horses as they clashed swords.

"Get the traitors and bring them to me," Morgana told her brothers along with Zander and Ace. Sinclair covered for her as she kicked some men away then used her bow striking an arrow through his chest. "Get Seher and her child away." Sinclair nodded knowing the plan he was told by the Queen and the elders. Disappearing in the crowd he fought his way to the house. Li Xia was slaying the guards around and met with Sinclair who had bashed someone's head against the wall. Grabbing their arms together they nodded and helped each other out as she screamed the sisterhood cry.

Indicating that there was backup over on her side. Ivory upon hearing her she screamed back as she slid on the ground. Cutting the enemies down as the others tore them apart with their claws. Hai Xu Feng sliced his sword against Ying Zheng's men as he kept looking at the Queen who would often flip around killing with her bow. Bingqian swung her claymore around as it lit up with primordial fire slashing through fiends and infected that were released as an emergency. Beyhan used her sword and infused it with poison not being able to summon anything from the ground for fear it would be infected.

Qiwu cut through the air as she made water appear from the ground and around her she created a massive wave as Yanwan created spikes of ice through the water Qiwu had created. Bingqian smiled at the claymore she had won from Lanying in a spar. Bingqian used her dark powers and the power to create boulders to overpower her. "You'll be killed by your weapon fire Queen," Bingqian growled as she stabbed one of Lanying's men with it. Hai Xu Feng saw the claymore he once owned and gave to his sister in Bingqian's hands.

"That dumbass lost it." Xu Feng kicked one of the traitors of his army and stabbed him. Dongfang Xu Feng flicked his hand sending a powerful wave of power killing multiple soldiers as he and his wife walked side by side. Yan Xun scrambled as he tried fighting Zander's men off. Wen Kexing manically attacked men as he tried defending himself. "They want us but they won't have us down without a fight!" Wen Kexing told the others as they started cornering each other to save their backs.

"I'm glad you say that!" Ace threw the Wang Ju sword making the guys scatter their formation. "Always playing dirty!" Qi Yan cried as it grazed him. "Didn't we establish a time of day when we could fight!" Ying Zheng asked annoyed. "The queen dictated otherwise." Sung Xiang said as he moved Hiromi out of the way as Yan Xun threw an attack at them. Zhi Yuan was the first one to use his powers to teleport to hit Yuan Shaui only to be blocked by Zander who glared at him.
