The next day: at the Royal Tomb~~~~~~

  Standing in front of the Royal Tomb, Gafra spoke while Patra stood beside him, both smiling. Sora really wanted to punch that wicked smile off of their face.

"This is the Royal Tomb.... Or it should be, but now it's just as you see. That mysterious building is the 'Dungeon'."

"No problem. If I conquer the Dungeon, it will disappear and Royal Tomb will return to the way it was before." Sin said

"That's a relief. I can look forward to King Sharrkan's investiture!" Patra said

"Maybe it's best we leave it alone." Sora mumbled

"What do you mean?" Ja'far asked

"What if Sharrkan's name is on there, then they'll win."

"You've got a point there..."

"Oh well, we'll just have 'ta conquer this place!" She pumped a fist in the air.

"...Lord Armakan." Narmes started

"Don't say it, Narmes."

"It's right after yesterday, so they both still have some lingering ill feelings, huh...? But both of them want the Royal Tomb returned to its former state, so this outcome should be good for everyone..." Ja'far stated

Flashback: to the conversation between Sin and the gang with Sharrkan~~~

"...There's no one else I can ask. Please...get rid of that 'Dungeon'." Sharrkan said

"Prince Sharrkan...of course we intend to do so...but, there's one thing... If it turns out that your name is not the one engraved on the sarcophagus in the Royal Tomb, the one that will be put in a precarious position is you, isn't it, Prince Sharrkan?" Ja'far said

"...I know. Ever since we were born, my brother and I have constantly been forced to oppose one another... I had to bear the weight of that situation...but the ones who wanted the conflict were only the ones around me... I never wanted that." He held his staff tightly. 'The truth is...I wanted something more normal...' "...I don't care if I'm hated...as long as Heliohapt can return to being the way it should be. That's my responsibility...as royalty.... Please help us. Please bring the conflict in this country to an end..."

"Ya don't have 'ta worry! We'll make sure to bring peace to the country!" Sora smiled and closed her eyes. That was a promise that she would go through.

Flashback end~~~~~~

"Let's make sure he's repaid for thinking that way." Ja'far said

"Yeah...let's go!" Sin said

  Climbing up the steps, they entered the Dungeon. Sora was amazed when they were inside. She was amazed when they landed inside.

"...All right. We're all here." Drakon said

"I'm glad we all arrived at the same time." Ja'far said

"Sometimes there's a time variation when you enter a Dungeon.' Sin said, agreeing

"So this is a Dungeon!" Mystras said, excitedly

"We'd better be cautious as we move forward..." Seredine said

  What they didn't know was that Sora was missing. She was in the water, swimming because she landed there. She didn't know how deep it was but she kept swimming. Finally, someone noticed she wasn't with them.

"Uh, Sin, where's Sora?" Ja'far asked. Looking around, they didn't see her anywhere. Shouting for her, there was still no sign of her. Panicking, Sin still searched.
