Over the past three years, the civilization of Monster Legends has prospered greatly. Taiga was reelected to stay leader, while Sherezar and Remntar were praised for their improvement of Warmaster laws. 

Taiga hosted a proper funeral for Necromancer with his gravestone reading: "The only one who wanted to make a change." Sherezar had begun to read Taiga's lines at the funeral because the tiger himself had fallen a bit ill earlier, but during the speech Sherezar had collapsed on the ground suddenly. He seemed alright afterward, but had said that "It feels like there's something entering my brain." 

Taiga had desperately wanted to get in contact with Kimber, but she was always out protecting the major cities from Scryb supporters with pickaxes and knives. They all wore Scryb masks and usually wore the clothing that he used to wear. She singlehandedly took out a tribe of them with only a shortsword and no armor whatsoever. 

Monster Legends had also started to colonize multiple other planets in their Solar System, including Kamala and Faunus. The idiotic myths of another Warmaster named "Warmaster Ragnarok" had also began to resurface all across Monster Legends, which Taiga always just told the whole community to forget about.

"I feel like this peace is just a distraction." Xiron had told Taiga in a phone call. 

"What do you mean?" he had replied. 

"Whenever nothing noticeably bad happens, it's usually a sign that something terrible will occur." 

Taiga passed this off as a stupid prediction and hung up. He'd been very distant from Xiron, as had Kimber and Uriel. Xiron had grown very isolated in her humongous house and just stayed there making conspiracies and theories. 

"Xiron's becoming such a bother." said Taiga, crawling into his bed. He had been getting some education from Uriel and Sherezar, making him have a greatly improved vocabulary. He now understood much more about the laws and restrictions about Monster Legends because of it. 

"She will eventually get the hang of living in this society." said Uriel, climbing in next to him. 

"Now that Hackster's gone she's become this hopeless mess." he groaned. 

"Give her time. Our sessions have been going well." said Uriel. 

"I don't think It's psychology that she needs." said Taiga. 

The two of them had fallen asleep after that, completely not alert for any disturbances during the night hours. Three Scryb supporters had crept up to the house in a drunken state, attempting to climb in through a window, but miserably failed. One of them had thrown a beer bottle at it which surprisingly cracked it. 

"Let's call the others." said Mersnake, the least drunk of the three. 

"This'll be a FULL raid..." said Firesaur drunkenly. 

Soon after that, eight more Scryb supporters joined the group. One by one they climbed through the window. They started to frantically get everything they could in the house, which was easy because all of it was unattended and valuable. 

Taiga and Uriel were fast asleep, not worrying about anything because of their past safety and not relying on any bodyguards for that reason. One of the raiders accidentally dropped a beer can after stupidly filling it with expensive wine, the echoes of the drop making their way up to the bedroom. 

"Quick! Collect everything now!" yelled Tyrannoking, grabbing all of the jewelry he could find. 

"They'll think twice about underestimating our savior." said Treezard, shoving a bag out the window. One of the raiders, Metalsaur, laughed stupidly loud at the unfunny line, further elevating the noise level. There was so much noise in the room that the other supporters could hardly hear his muffled screams as a slickly thrown dagger sunk into his spine. 

"Get out, now!" yelled Taiga, throwing three daggers above Tyrannoking's head as a warning. Apparently Tyrannoking didn't quite get the signal though, pulling out his pistol and shooting the cat in the forehead and the stomach. Taiga didn't even wince at the bullets as they clinked off of his body and landed on the floor. 

"H-how!?" blurted Tyrannoking as Taiga angrily pounced on top of the intruder, snapping his gun in half and bashing the monster's head against the sink, turning on the water. He then threw two more daggers at Genie and Thunder Eagle, making them slump down the stairs and collapsing when they fell all the way down. 

Mersnake climbed up on Taiga, trying to put him in a chokehold, but Taiga pushed his whole body forward, making the assaulter fly forward into the wall. The tiger then grabbed a loose brick from the counter, slamming it into Rockilla's head at full force. He then chucked it at an intruder trying to flee, hitting his leg and making him fall out the window headfirst. 

He thrusted backward, ramming into another and colliding him with the refrigerator. Firesaur landed a punch on Taiga's forehead, not even making him move. Taiga then put a hand around his neck, making his opponent's face turn purple. The cat then kicked him down into the basement, a pool of blood forming around his head. 

Treezard apparently got the message, jumping out the open window and into the night, temporarily unseen by Taiga. One of the monsters tried to unlock the bedroom door, but was caught by surprise as the door was swung open by Uriel, whacking her whole body with it. Taiga then noticed, throwing a dagger into the Scryb supporter's neck. He then grabbed Thunder Eagle's unconscious body, jamming the blender's power cord into his arm. He then threw the connecter at a Scryb supporter behind him, electrocuting the monster. 

The last enemy, also attempting to flee was caught off guard as Taiga threw him into the electricity, making him drop the bag of stolen items. Treezard still ran from the scene, sweating profusely and coughing uncontrollably as she finally made it far enough from the house so that she couldn't even make it out clearly. She looked at her loot, finding a picture of Taiga and the Peacemakers (including Hackster), along with a box of gold. She looked back toward the house, squinting to see a metallic object in front of the house. 

It then seemed to approach her, as she realized what it was. The dagger sunk into her abdomen, making her trip into the road, being instantly plowed by a late night driver. 

The driver, Shadow, screamed as she realized who she'd hit. It was her childhood classmate  Treezard who'd recently turned to crime and had always supported the Warmaster reign. She then called her closest friend Kimber, who she knew would punish whichever foolish monster had chosen to wound their friend.
