Guard: Halt!"
Jay: "Does it look like we're here peacefully?"
Jay punches the only guard outside, knocking him out.
Jake: "Hey.... you showed mercy."
Jay: "Do you want me to punch you too?"
Jake: "Do you want your hand on fire?"
They stare at each other for a split second.
Jay: "Fair enough."
Jade: "Just what have you two done?"
Jay: "Pretty much the same stuff we're doing now."
Narrator: "The 4 start to storm the palace... with Jay handling most of the somewhat unnecessary bloodshed."
Jade: "This is easier than I thought it'd be!"
Jake: "(pauses) Jay has... plenty of experience in this situation. (in head) Something isn't gonna go our way at some point."
Narrator: "Meanwhile, the heir to the throne of Greed, Prince Joshua, walks into the throne room, where his mother is sitting on her throne."
Joshua: "What is going on mother?"
Salis: "Two sins are here."
Joshua: "Then why am I seeing corpses everywhere?!"
Salis: "Don't you remember? All next generation sins must be captured and eliminated."
Joshua: "Why?"
Salis: "They will become a threat to our plans."
Joshua: "What kind of plan?!"
Salis: "Guards! Take this child to the dungeon."
Joshua: "Let me go!"
Back to the heroes.
Jay: "Do either of you two know where is the throne room in this place?"
Ruby: "If my memory tells me right it should be right over...."
They see the guardian of Greed standing guard.
Ruby: "..... there."
Greed: "(blankly) Must capture for Lucifer
Jade: "Wasn't expecting this to be easy."
Jay: "Is she a guardian of sin?"
Jade: "Not just any guardian of sin....."
The guardian prepares for battle.
Jade: "... she's our mom."
Jay: "Think this won't be easy for you two?"
Jade: "Of course it won't be easy, but...."
Jade draws her broadsword."
Jade: "... we will still do it."
Jake look at the guardian's eyes, and notices her soulless eyes.
Jake: "This is definitely a case of brainwashing."
Jay: "Explanation?"
Jake: "Her eyes seem to lack any substance."
Jay: "Know how to fix it?"
Jake: "Beat the crap out of her until she snaps out of it."
Jay: "I like that plan."
They notice that Greed had disappeared.
Jay: "Where did she-"
They turn around, only to find that Greed had appeared behind them, landing a punch right into Jay's face and disappearing.
