"Arthur, I need you to come with me for this."

"Why?"

"You know too much."

"I-"

"If you don't come then I will have to kill you."

"Well, if it means death...hm..."

"Are you really debating yourself about dying or living?" Yao was becoming impatient.

"I would rather live." Arthur went to grab a few things and came back with a bag full of anything he would need. "Where to?"

"First, we get the others." They walked outside. "I'll try not to drop you."

"When do you think Yao's going to get back?" Suddenly, Yao walked in with someone else behind him.

"I'm back."

"Didn't take long. Who's with you?"

"Arthur."

"Why?"

"I have a plan."

Similar to Arthur, Alfred had seen Yao fly off. The only difference was that Yao had taken Arthur with him. His first instinct was to follow. The only thing going through his mind as he followed was: There's more?

He hid as soon as he landed and watched Yao walk into a small cabin with Arthur following behind. It wasn't too long until anyone in the cabin walked out. Alfred was both confused and surprised to see who had come out. He listened to what they were saying.

"What the hell are you thinking Yao! This is a crazy plan!" It was Francis who spoke.

"I know but this will help all of us." Yao seemed to defend himself.

"So risking our lives is a better idea than hiding?" It was Gilbert who spoke next.

"I know you're sick of hiding. Just think, this could end that."

"Would you rather want to die?"

"It's better than having to seclude myself every time things are going well!" Yao looked to Alfred's direction. A clear anger shown in his eyes. "Alfred get over here!" The others looked over. Slowly, he stepped out from his hiding spot. "There's no reason for you to hide. Now what do you want?"

"I want to know. What you guys were talking about?"
Yao sighed. By this point, he was tired and frustrated.

"Well..."
