"You.. You're all alive?!" Drake says as he witnesses Dalva, Kelner, Ronin, Olivia and Knives walk through the portal that suddenly appeared.

The 5 of them are angered beyond believe. The looks they have on their faces are full of bloodlust as they all spot Drake.

"You're all alive?... But I thought..." Dracula says as he takes a couple of steps towards his children.

"Yes father. Unfortunately for Drake." Dalva says not taking her gaze off of Drake.

Drake swiftly turns around in an attempt to make a quick escape but is instantly blocked by Ronin.

"Hey Drake! What's your hurry?" Ronin

Drake froze for a second before deciding to switch his direction only to be blocked by Olivia. The rest of his siblings quickly surround him blocking his escape routes.

"You're not actually planning on leaving so soon~?" Olivia

"Someone... Anyone.. Please explain to me what is going on!" Dracula says in frustration.

"Father, please stay calm. I hope I am not asking to much from our savior?" Dalva

Dracula averted his gaze to Sigma in anticipation.

"Technically that's Seraiah but, if you insist. Drake hatched a ploy that involved taking control of your army in order to enslave mankind. The only problem was that his ability of mind control wasn't strong enough to manipulate anyone here but Knives. He didn't risk using his ability on me which made him resort to manipulating Knives to pay us a visit at my home and convince me that Drake had betrayed you for a different reason. Drake wanted me to eliminate you all leaving him the only 1 left to do as he pleases." Sigma

"That doesn't explain how they all are unharmed." Dracula

"Well its like I said, I had Seraiah heal all of their wounds and fatigue. Surprisingly enough though, it didn't take much convincing to have them wait until I have Drake out in the open for them to make their reappearance." Sigma

"..... So all this time you... What did you really go the extra mile for? We aren't allies..." Dracula

"Didn't I tell you I know everything? That includes your idea of going to a different dimension and claiming a desolate planet for your own. Also... I wanted to make sure you knew what would be awaiting you if you every turn your attention towards this planet." Sigma

"I see... None the less you have my thanks young warrior... Sigma." Dracula

"Its almost nightfall. I'll have Seraiah hold up the barrier until then so you all can escape in the night. Be sure to take that old man with you so you can achieve your goal." Sigma says pointing at Hanue.

"But, why would I bring a dead carcass with me?" Dracula

"As much as I wanted to.. I didn't." Sigma says then makes his exit.

"He didn't?... Does he mean he's still.." Dracula says looking over at Hanue.

Sigma travels to the opposite end of the island where he hears 3 beeps from 1 of his communicators. He pulls it out and on the screen shows a fight breaking out between Lynx, Road Burn and Power Surge against a man with yellow skin in Washington Square Park located in lower Manhattan. The fight also seems to be in the yellow man's favor.

"..... I could've sworn I forgot this at home." Sigma
