The two Captains were huffing trying to catch their breaths at another hidden alley in town.

"Damit, if Ursula gets the news that we're scurrying around town like rats, she won't rest until she gets her hands on us. And we can't leave either, it's not even close to seven."

"Huh..I guess I did mess up big time?"

"Shut it will you? We need to come up with a plan, we can't go out looking like this, they'll spot us."

Joshua sighed holding his chin in thought.

"Ah-Ha, well behold! The magic cloak, (Back to Anna -brought to you by taxes- Oh Damit, he robbed my valuable cloaks too!?) they'll make us invisible!"

"Go figures, you do have a brain.."

"Hey that's rude!"

"Whatever, lets recruit as many sailors as we can and sail out as soon as possible."

"Alright lets go."

And the two drooped their cloaks on, blending into town. They walked together as much as they could, going all over town warning their sailors that were in bars or at a stand to go and report back to the ship for an emergency sail off.

As they were heading back to the ship, Niles accidentally bumped into a crate of vegetables, making a mess.

"Niles what the heck!" Joshua whispered yelled as he pulled over his friend out of the way from the wave of people who were puzzled at the scene.

"Sorry I didn't mean to make a scene..." Niles whispered in annoyance.

"Well watch your step will you? We're on radar here."

And the two started to bicker when suddenly a carrot rolled over close to their cloaks, catching the attention of a horse. Ursula's Horse to be exact.

"What!? Those traitors are here?!!"

"Yes! Isn't that right Jaffar?"

He nodded in response earning a sigh from Lloyd.

"Captain what are we going to do?"

"Well..."

As Ursula began to talk to her group as her horse started to clop its way towards the carrot. This stopped Niles and Joshua's fighting and they stood still in fright. Damit they found us! But Joshua realized that the gang hasn't notice them and the horse was after the carrot next to their cloaks.

"Niles, kick the carrot away."

"What? Why me why don't you kick the carrot away?"

"Stop being a kid, you're the closest one there, just kick the dang thing already!" Joshua whispered yelled only for it to be to late, the horse munched the carrot Pulling The Cloak, Grabbing The Attention Of The Gang.

"What the heck is that horse doi- HEY THERE YOU ARE, YOU TRAITORS!"

Lloyd yelled charging full force to Niles only to be intercepted by Joshua's sword.

The villagers scurried around for help, finding the nearest shelter to avoid the fight of the deadly Black Fang Gang; it was complete chaos.

"Niles! Get Your Ass Up And Fight!!"

Joshua yelled as he also started to clash away attacks from Jaffar too.

"EASY FOR YOU TO SAY! YOU LEFT ME WITH THE TWO DEADLIEST MAGES!"

Niles yelled back dodging all of Nino's and Ursula's attacks.

"You're not getting away from me this time you two~" Ursula snickered evilly as she kept casting spells. Niles hid behind a crate of tomatoes only for it to be hit and the create went flying, splattering tomatoes all over SABER?!

"ALRIGHT, WHO THE HELL- BLACK FANG WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" Saber yelled drawing out his sword charging towards the swordsmen only to be hit by Nino.

"Don't get in the way Saber!"

"I'd be careful if I were you Nino." A woman sneered as she attacked Nino.

"Sonya..what a pleasant surprise.." Ursula glared at her.

"Lady Nino!"

"Jaffar Not Now!!"

"HEY IM STILL HERE YOU KNOW!" Saber yelled waving his arms around. 

The bickering grew as there was a staring contest between Sonya and Ursula, Joshua and Lloyd clashing swords, Niles whistling his way out until being chased by Saber, and Nino frustrated by Jaffar's nonsense of worry, while the poor civilians sweat dropped...So this is the "Great" Black Fang?

"Drop your weapons and surrender!" The prince of Askar commanded. "You're under arrest for robbery, violently disrupting the town, and for rest of your crimes."

They all tch in defeat as they were out numbered and dropped their weapons as they were being cuffed.

Oh great. . ..was what Joshua thought as he was forcefully pushed by the guards.

Alfonse, the Prince of Askar, ordered his guards to take the gang to the dungeon with high security.

"Make sure to search them clean before locking them up." A guard yelled.

"Yes sir!"

The townspeople parted ways as the gang members were being escorted to the castle with deep tension between them because the fight wasn't over yet.

Alfonse turned to his sister, Sharena, and sternly commanded the following. "I want you to seize all ships from leaving until further notice and find their ship."

"What!? But I'll miss the festivaaaaal, Alfonse You Promised!!" The Princess began to whine as the Prince only sighed.

"Sharena it is our duty as royals to protect our people, and I need to take care of things at the castle, I didn't think this would happen I'm sorry-"

"Alfonse You Party Pooper!"

Alfonse sighed in defeat. "If you do your duty quickly...I'll go with you to the festival."

Sharena's eyes sparkled as she clasped her hands together. "You really mean it!"

"Yes now get going before I regret it."

"You don't have to tell me twice, I'll be back before you can say Festival!" Sharena exclaimed with a cheerful skip towards the port, followed by guards.

Alfonse just breathed in some air trying  to calm himself down and began his way to the castle.

"I hope she doesn't cheat her way around this."

Or does she..?
