"Stand down boy!" roared the Captain, "You're clearly outnumbered!", "And?" Ethan growled back. Just then, the Ruby Chain glowed brightly, and his royal attire transformed in the armor of the Ultimate Prince.

"I'll take you both on!", he charged towards the duo with full force "Let's see how powerful you truly are, child!" growled the Captain

"I'll take you both on!", he charged towards the duo with full force "Let's see how powerful you truly are, child!" growled the Captain. Ethan swung his blade to the right, towards his opponent's ribcage, only for it to be blocked instantly. "A decent form... of action" the Captain groaned sllightly as he pushed back against Ethan's force. "But you have much to learn!" and with that, he pushed Ethan away and swung his blade towards his target's legs. Ethan however, jumped at the very last second as the Ruby Chain and his eyes began to glow in unison. The Captain quickly swung his blade towards the teen's stomach, only for Ethan to use his left gauntlet to block it without effort, he then grabbed the Captain's head and forcefully pinned against the left wall "You were saying?" Ethan growled. "Now mage! do it!" the Captain Groaned, Cedric just stood there thinking about what to do "I SAID NOW! THAT IS AN ORDER!" the Captain Roared, "One i shall not follow!" Cedric Shouted "Prince Ethan please, you've clearly won... stand down and allow me", "At least one of you has some common sense" Ethan Said angrily. "Captain Valthor, i have had just about enough of your foolishness!" Cedric Boomed "EVERYONE knows of the horrors the boy has been through, have you no heart to feel sympathy for him!? well, you should be thankful for had he never been found... we all wouldn't be here today!", "How dare you defy me!" the Captain Growled "Traiter!", "Oh be quiet!" Cedric Snarled and he pointed his wand towards the Captain, he then recited the freezing spell just as Ethan jumped back.

The Captain was instantly frozen in place "Why... did you help me?" Ethan Gasped "Because... it was the morally right thing to do" Cedric replied, "At one time in the past... i almost turned entirely to evil because of... Grimtrix". "Who is this Grimtrix?" Ethan asked. "My old teacher from a place known as Hexley Hall" Cedric Frowned "Anywho, I almost succeded in taking over the kingdom, had your sister not intervened when I was at full power, after she destroyed my medusa stone and undid all the damage I caused... the King had the guards seize me. I revealed that all the frustration and resentment I had felt about never being good enough for my parents or the Kingdom, and how all the years of mistreatment and mockery made me desperate to prove himself as a powerful and capable man...", "Dear lord... I'm sorry to hear that" Ethan Frowned "So you hold the exact same grudge aginst the King as well?", "Actually, no" Replied Cedric "He and myself are forever on good terms, but I have helped you take care of your problem here", "And I thank you for that" Ethan Replied "But I still have to save my family from that bastard's grasp!", "Save your family?" Cedric asked, but then he realized what Ethan was talking about. "Oh..." he frowned, "Well, I clearly can't help you do that... and I can't stop you even if I tried". "It doesn't matter," Ethan replied, "I won't be needing any help, this is something I must do... alone". "Very well..." Cedric frowned. Ethan then placed his ear against the doors in front of him, and heard what sounded like his mother and sister pleading with the King. "Dad please!" Sofia begged, "Shhh... I think he's out there" the King shushed her "Guards, get ready", Jerry and Gerald guarded the doors and waited for something to happen. Suddenly, the doors burst open, and the Ultimate Prince stormed in. "Your end has come, Your Royal Arse-ness" Ethan growled. "So," the King snarled, "It's come to this moment after all... that after all I've done for you, you STILL want me dead!?", "If you had been a good little man and sat your arse down on your big ass fucking chair... you would have been left unharmed!" Ethan growled as the Ruby Chain and his eyes glowed red, "Well I had to!" Roland growled "Fighting those you hate will get you nowhere in life!", "Oh... he isn't just someone I hate..." Ethan Snarled "He is someone I eternally despise!", "And just WHAT has that man ever done to you!?" the King snarled back. "Oh, you wouldn't want to know," Ethan growled, "Besides, our fued has ended sooner than expected." He then stepped to his right, "As you can see..." There was the Captain frozen against the hallway wall. "What!?" the King exclaimed. "Oh my!" gasped the Queen. "What happened!?" gasped Sofia. "Oh, just a little... side changing" her enraged older brother replied in a calm tone "Now, just let me finish up here, alright?". "You mean let US finish up here!?" snarled Jerry as he and Gerald stormed up to the Prince and pointed their weapons strait at both sides of his head.

Ethan quickly reacted by using both his elbows to knock the pair out, amazingly keeping a strait face the entire time "As I was saying..." He Snarled "Many years after me and my father dissapeared, and Sofia grew up... you married my mother, thus bringing them into the world of royalty; in other words... you stole the very reminants of my family! And now, I'm here to take them back from you!". "I thought we'd been through this, I never stole your family!" the King growled back.,"Your mother and myself fell in love together! it was love at first sight!". "Well," Ethan boomed, "Now both she AND your own goddamn children have seen just the man you truely are behind that fake crown of yours!", "Enough!" the King shouted "Cedric, where are you!?". The Royal Sorceror slowly walked in "Sire" He Said in a bolding voice "I simply cannot believe it has come to this... it's just like the one time I attempted to steal the throne from you! The boy has told me everything and even I have to admit; the way you and the Captain handled that situation was just harsh! When Prince Ethan went ballistic and attacked you, he didn't mean it! He was after the Captain, not you!", "I know that!" the King argued "But he still CHOSE to do it. Therefore, he is nothing more than guilty!". "The boy had the right to want to be angry at Arthur!" Cedric argued "Have you seen the way he treats your family!? He was really quite harsh against Princess Sofia when she did nothing to deserve it! He was also like that towards Prince James and Princess Amber, I simply cannot believe you would let him get away with doing all those things! In fact, I'm so enraged, that I simply couldn't take it and I froze that pathetic excuse of a man instead of the boy!". King Roland's face turned completely red "YOU DID WHAT!?", He roared in his loudest tone. "Oh, to hell with this..." Ethan growled, snatching Cedric wand. He quickly recited the exact same spell Cedric used, and the King turned completely blue, and froze like a statue.
