Jade: "That was a good sleep. How are you all?"
Jay: "Jake, just your lazy ass out of bed."
Jake: "(groaning) Five more minutes."
Ruby: "How about no? We have plans today."
Ruby yanks Jake out of bed.
Jake: "Fine."
Jake begins to stand.
Jay: "Really? You know about our plans."
Jake: "One sec..."
Jake switches Heaven's Hope in to gauntlet form and sets his face on fire, then puts it out with ice.
Jake: "Now I am up. (heals burn marks)
Jay: "Oh my fucking god."
Jake: "Sorry. (in head) We need to keep calm and work together if Reith is going to keep on living."
Jade: "Enough of this shit, let's go get breakfast, I'm hungry!"
Jay: "Alright let's go."
The 4 walk into the dining area.
Jay: "(sarcastically) Nice, doesn't look like a cave in the wall for a first."
Jade: "Why haven't I slugged you in the face yet?"
Jay: "Beats me."
Ruby: "Can we please stop making each other want to beat each other to a bloody pulp?"
Jake: "I agree, if we're going to save Delas and the rest of Reith, we need to get along."
Jay: "Geez Jake, I've never seen you so pissed."
Jake: "If you two keep this up, I'll make sure you get along."
Jade: "Alright, although I am questioning how you plan on doing that."
Jake: "If you two get in one more fight I'll show you."
Jay: "Alright."
The sit down and eat some food and head outside.
Jake: "I just hope you two can keep it together in the palace."
Jay: "Just cool your jets Mr. Sleepyhead."
Jake sighes.
Ruby: "I hope so, you make me want to see what happens."
Jade: "That hurts."
Jay decapitates both guards.
Jay: "Less talking more doing."
As the 4 walk throughout the palace killing guards meanwhile.....
King Gael: "Lock my wife in the dungeon with the Marcos boy. The intruders must not get to my heir."
Guards: "Yes sir!"
Queen Gael: "Very well."
The guards carry off the pregnant queen.
King Gael: "And Wrath I need you to guard the entrance to the throne room if they arrive."
A pebble explodes.
Wrath: "Yes sir."
Narrator: "Back to our heroes."
Jay: "This has been way too easy, even for these guys. Rolil was far more challenging."
Jade grits her teeth.
Jade: "(deep breath) If you say so."
A explosion goes off.
Wrath: "I've been waiting."
Jay: "An explosive ability?"
Ruby: "He can make anything he touches into a remote bomb."
Jake draws his blade.
Jake: "This'll hurt won't it?"
Jade: "Get this kid a prize."
Several explosions go off.
Wrath: "Enough wasting my time."
Jay telekinetically uses his daggers to slice and dice Wrath's right arm.
Jay: "Don't put me in that."
Ruby managed to dissolve into the shadows and sneak attacked Wrath from behind.
Wrath: "Enjoy your little games."
Wrath triggers an explosion behind him and sending Ruby flying.
Jade: "He turned everything here into a bomb!"
Wrath: "Very impressive for a child."
Jake switches to bow form and narrowly misses his shot with an explosion of lightning up against the throne room door.
Jake: "That is not good."
Wrath: "A bow that generates lightning, very interesting Alexandris."
Jake: "That means that we are doing the good thing here."
Wrath sets off an explosion behind Jade, with Jade defending herself with a counter.
Wrath: "I am the only guardian doing this of my own free will."
Jade: "Is Gael the big one in charge then?"
Wrath: "No."
Jake switches to staff form and blasts bullet like pebbles that explode upon contact with Wrath.
Jake: "A looks like they go off when enough force hits it."
Jay: "Looks like you can get serious."
Jay telekinetically throws some rocks at the ground for a successful test.
Jay: "He made every rock on this floor a bomb."
Wrath: "You brats catch on quickly."
Jade: "That explains why the door didn't explode and why he's only been using rocks."
Wrath is promptly ended by his own explosives, since if he set off one, a whole chain reaction would go off and crumble the palace.
Jay: "That was just sad."
Ruby stands and opens the door.
King Gael: "Must I feel the Agony of defeat?"
Jay sends an explosive bullet straight at Gael's heart.
Jay: "Yes."
Several guards that remained begged for their lives.
Jade: "Free 3rd generation Sin Marcos Icor."
Guards: "V-Very well."
Ruby: "And anyone else."
The guards return with the queen and a 14 year old with wild brown hair.
Marcos: "Jade and Ruby?!"
Jade: "Guess we really didn't change much during these past 8 years."
Marcos: "Thank you! I was caught day one of the order!"
Queen Gael: "Have you freed us from that... thing?"
Jay points to the corpses.
Jay: "Yep, but the last Wrath got in our way along with guards. Their lives couldn't be saved."
Marcos: "Thank you for killing that bastard of a father. Killing my mom and locking me in a cell."
Jake: "I know the feeling."
Ruby: "He performed that upon free will."
Marcos: "All the more reason."
Queen Gael: "I heard everything from him. Heading for Lustaicious?"
Jade: "Right about now."
Jay: "Delas won't save itself."
Marcos: "Wish you could stay."
Jade: "Just practice that explosive ability."
Marcos: "Alright."
The 4 step outside the palace.
