     "That will be enough for now, scouts have informed us of the groups arrival, let's see if he's up for the challenge" the man said leaving the room.
     "You know who your enemy is correct?"
     "Lucis" Noct replied, emotionlessly.
     The man walked over to the guards holding him down, he whispered something to them, but too quietly to make out.
     The soldiers then brought Noct to his feet and escorted him out of the room down long corridors. They weren't forceful anymore.
     As the walk near the end of the hall, the automatic door slides open revealing a pitch black room.
     As they walk in, the lights flicker on showing what looks like a training room. Full of weapons, gear, and training dummies.
     "Welcome to your new training grounds!" A woman's voices boomed throughout the room.
     She walked into view revealing a woman with white hair and carrying a spear.
     "From here on out you do what we say, when we say, got it?"
     "Yes ma'am" Noct mumbled.
     "Alright, my name is Aranea, and I will be your so called coach." She explained, "we do things a bit differently here, so keep up"
     She readies her weapon, and strikes at Noctis.
     He wasn't quick enough to dodge, he staggered back. "Every time you get hit by me, we send a electrical shock from the brace we put on your wrist" she explained.
     She was right, because seconds later a shock went through Nocts body making him fall over in pain.
     "Get up and try again"

*The Group POV*

     The sun was rising, Prompto was taking photos, but was obviously distracted.
     Ignis could see the worry written on Promptos face, "We should be there soon."
     "Oh... okay" Prompto replied, not really paying attention.
     "Are you okay?" Ignis asked.
     Prompto was hesitant, "What if they did something to Noct?"
     "What would they do?" Ignis pushed, just to see what's going through his head.
     "Well, what if they decide to execute him? He's the last of the Royal family." Prompto worries.
     This gave Prompto more anxiety, he continued to fidget with his camera to keep his mind off of the thought.
     "Nothing bad will happen, Noctis is strong, and he's waiting for us to be there for him" Ignis reassured him.
     "Yeah, and if anything happens, I'll just kick his ass for being a little bitch" Gladio remarked.
     "This is going to be a the longest ride ever..." Prompto mumbled.
     He sighed, and continued to take pictures.
