John, Omar, Lionhearted and Shawn prepared to go to Oridia in order to overthrow King Stalin. Shawn noticed that the sky began to thunder and crackle in the most unusual way. The clouds swirled around each other. He felt a huge resonance of power.
"What's going on? This weather feels weird?", said Shawn.
"It's the Holy Judgement! They're actually going to use it! Why father?!", said Lionhearted.
"What?!", said Shawn.
"It's our most dangerous weapon! It's basically a magic nuke that can destroy an entire star system! It looks like they're preparing to fire it. It looks pretty much mobilized. It can fire away at any second!", said Lionhearted.
"We gotta stop this now! What he's doing is shameful!", said John.
"Who's that? Is that guy with Lion King?", said Shawn.
A single Oridian soldier was walking towards them.
"No, he's with the Royal Army. He's Commander Sunseth," said Lionhearted.
The four of them were about to fight him. They walked towards him. Commander Sunseth held his hand in front of him.
"There is no need to do anything hasty. I am Commander Sunseth of the Oridian Royal Army. I come on behalf of the Oridian Council, particularly on behalf of Falcon and Aquaking. I am not here to fight you, I am here to ask you a request. Prince John Zar, this may be your chance to take the throne without resorting to barbaric methods. The Council has enforced a Challenge for the throne, and they want you to be a contender for it. If you win this Challenge through yield or death, the throne is yours. If Stalin wins, it's pretty self explanatory. Do you accept the Challenge?", said Commander Sunseth.
"Wait, doesn't the king request a Challenge?", said Shawn.
"Yes, but in special cases, the Council requests for them. Unlike normal Challenges for the throne, ones that are decreed by the Council are called Forced Challenges. That means that the King cannot deny the Challenge without giving up the throne. It only takes one Chairman to enforce a Forced Challenge, and it's up to the Council to decide the contender. Only the said contender can accept or deny the Challenge. John Zar, do you accept the Challenge?", said Commander Sunseth.
"Challenge accepted! Let's end this!", said John.
John Zar and Commander Sunseth left SAFE Academy and went to Oridia.
Prince Lionhearted pulled Shawn aside.
"Come with me," said Lionhearted.
"Uh, sure thing, Lion King," said Shawn.
"Listen, I have a special job for you. You hate Stalin, yes?", said Lionhearted.
"Yes, but dad is gonna defeat that guy. So, why should I get involved?", said Shawn.
"I know that, but if father wins, then the Holy Judgement will fire on us. If that happens, we're all in major trouble," said Lionhearted.
"No he won't, cause my daddy is awesome! My dad fought two wars and won both of em! How many has your daddy fought and won?", said Shawn.
"He's fought hundreds of them and won all of them. Listen, I know John Zar will win, but we have to consider that the odds are stacked against us. It's very certain that father has government spies overseeing the mobilization of the Holy Judgement. Even if father loses, these spies will still try to fire this weapon," said Lionhearted.
"What'd you want me to do?", said Shawn.
"I want you to stop it. Deactivate the weapon, dismantle it. Do whatever it takes to ensure that the Holy Judgement never fires," said Lionhearted.
