  When the light dissipated, everyone was astonished by what they saw before them; the ground was split in two. Patra stepped back, terrified. 

"This is...the power of a metal vessel..." Too terrified to stand, she sat down.

Getting out of his Djinn equip, he stood beside the Heliohaptians. "If this is the strength of a metal vessel, there should be no problem. Besides, that's not my only metal vessel." Taking out his necklace, Sin equipped into Valefor. 

(A/N: Honestly, I wanna go there and be like Kagome, and play with his ears and tail

(A/N: Honestly, I wanna go there and be like Kagome, and play with his ears and tail. So fluffy!!! And I know that's the fight with queen in Artemyra...)

  On the defense, Ja'far and Mystras stepped back. 

"Sin?!" Ja'far said

"What are you..." Mystras asked

As Sora looked at him, she ran up to him and jumped on his back, playing with his ears and tail. "Fluffy!" She grabbed onto them, almost hurting Sin.

"Sora! Stop, that hurts!" Trying to grab her, Sin was hurting from the pulling that came from her hands. Sora merely dodged his hands. She had an idea.

"Let me get this straight; you get hurt if I pull onto your ears and tail" Sin nodded. "...Awesome!" She kept playing with them. As everyone saw this, they couldn't believe this sight. Wasn't this suppose to be a serious moment? Finally, Sin grabbed Sora's shirt, holding her in front of him. Seeing his anger written in his face, she shrunk back. Laughing nervously, she scratched the back of her neck. "H-hey Sin. I-I was only h-havin' fun..." At this point, she was awaiting the future. An idea popped in her head; she kicked his face. Too hurt from the force of her kick, he let go of her shirt and held his face, checking for blood. He was beyond angry, at this point. Once he got his hands on Sora, who knows what awaited her.

  Quickly, she ran behind Masrur. Pointing towards Sin, seeing that he was coming after her, she started to shake. "M-Mas, you'll p-protect me from him, r-right...?" He merely nodded, standing in front of her and getting in his defense pose. "But don't worry, I'll fight too, if needed..."

  As for Sin, he knew what to do. He smirked in his head. 'You'll get what you deserve, Sora.'

Reaching both hands in front of him, the orbs on his hands started to glow. "Each metal vessel is different. Some allow you to control lighting, others to manipulate fire... Some can be used as weapons, others can protect those around you. There's a multitude of ways to use a metal vessel. However, all of that depends on the choices you make...if you misuse them..." Ice started to appear around him, some appearing on Sora's feet. She yelled at him, trying to pull them out. Then, she burned them. 

"I'll get ya for that, Sin." she mumbled

"You can instantly cover an entire desert in ice. If I wanted to invade Heliohapt, it would already be mine. With the power of a metal vessel, you can destroy an entire country overnight or amass a huge fortune. Just one metal vessel contains an incomprehensible amount of power...but I'm not the only one who wields one. Most of the national leaders in the Seven Seas Alliance have their own metal vessels. And there are rumors that even more are being used around the world..." He thought back to Sasan and Artemyra. Getting out of Valefor Djinn equip, he landed beside Ja'far. Everyone was scared of what he was going to do, aside Sora. She was still getting the ice off. "Now that more and more Dungeons are appearing, it wouldn't be surprising for more metal vessels to turn up as well. Reim isn't your only threat."

As for Ja'far, he breathed out the air he was holding in. "Our Master is the first multiple Dungeon conqueror in the world. No one rivals his strength."

"I bet I can change that! Hey Sin, let's fight some time!" Sora wanted to test just how strong Sin was. Finally, she burned all the ice. However, she didn't know that so she fell on the ground.

Shaking his head, Sin sighed, face palming. Ja'far continued. "In addition, one of our allies, Princess Serendine of Parthevia, has also conquered a Dungeon and has her own metal vessel." Stepping up, Seren showed where the symbol was.

Doubling over, Armakan was shocked. "A princess of the Parthevian Empire...?!"

Looking towards each other, Ja'far and Sin nodded. "Listen to me. Our only desire is to protect global balance." Sin said as he pulled out his sword and held it in front of him. "In order to do so, we need your cooperation. To build the world as it should be and to prevent this immense power from throwing everything into chaos, we must become a power that protects humanity." Crossing his arm over his chest, he stayed serious throughout the time. "I am Sinbad. I am the head of the Sindria Trading Company and the leader of the Seven Seas Alliance. I have the determination..."

As Narmes looked at Armakan, Armakan was contemplating on what to do next. "Narmes. I have been too naïve...this man has seen further than we could even imagine." Sweat poured down his face as he said this. Sharrkan gripped his staff tightly to his chest. "I now understand just how narrow our worldview has been while we've been shut away in our own country. It's frustrating...to come to understand your own ignorance in this way." Narmes couldn't believe what he was hearing. Armakan finally came to an answer. "Heliohapt will join your Seven Seas Alliance. I want you to lend this country your strength."

While Sin and his colleagues were smiling, Gafra was in hysterics. "Lady Patra, what are we doing?!" Shaking her, sweat poured down his face. "We're letting them intervene! We've come so far. We're just one small step from the throne!" Before he could say more, he looked at her face.

"It's pointless. He's the real thing... We're no match...for his power. Whether we make Reim our enemy or him our enemy, it's all the same..." Holding her hands in front of her, they were shaking. She was utterly defeated. Gafra's hands started to shake, too. "There's no choice...but to accept our fate..."

With Sin and his company, they stood across from Armakan and his allies. As Armakan reached out to give Sin a scroll, Sin held his hand out. "Here's our trade agreement. We'll discuss the details at a later date."

"Yes. I'm looking forward to working together."

Walking forward, Narmes stood beside his King. "Sinbad, you have my gratitude. Not only you did solve this country's dilemma with the Reim Empire, but also exposed the schemes of the Former King's faction." Gafra and the others were arrested for their crimes. Sora was giddy inside, fists bumping in the air.

"Even though they're royalty, they will face harsh punishment. Many innocent citizens died... We must deal out a suitable sentence." Armakan stated

"The leaders of the Former King's faction are gone. Does that make you the legitimate king, Armakan...?" Sin asked

"Yes, but we must consider the will of the Former King... So both my younger brother and I must decide together...and fortunately, all those that would interfere are gone... What will you do, Sharrkan?"

Sora looked towards him, grinned, eyes closed, and held out a fist with thumb out. He gripped his staff, silence ensuing.
