It was later as the RV pulled up in front of a large mansion and into a gated community. "Um... What are we doing here?" Asked Tendro as he looked out the window.

"We're offloading the captives. We worked out a deal..." said Werlan.

"Forced into it," said Data as he shocked Quenbeclar again.

"Ignoring that point, we bring high ranking Sinderlos to the owner, we get money for out of state operatives and supplies for the nation," said Werlan as he continued. "And the courthouse was full of them."

"And what's the owner planning on doing with them?" Asked Ulfrin.

"We'll omit that detail as well," said Werlan. "But they'll be dead, so it's fine."

"Better be," said Ceves as he looked down at himself in nothing but a pair of black boxers. "So, do you think we're dressed formally enough for this?"

"You're dressed?"

"Well, given your colorful backstory we can only assume some details," said Ceves, feeling Kingslayer appear in his paws. "Okay, hold up, fucking useless ass piece of shit ghost gun's back."

"We're going to have to knock you out again Cev so we can have a word with that thing," said Margha.

"Wait what?" Asked Data, crossing his arms in the process.

"In order to find something, we had to put him under anesthetics. Then the spirit in the gun took over his body and went on a joyride," said Medin.

"Da, Lucno and I wound up together in a back alleyway," said Margha.

"Wait, Lucno? As in Lucno Serdun Zercardo?" Asked Werlan.

"Ja... Why?" Asked Lucno somewhat concerned, reaching for her knife.

"I found this in a battle site between some Sinderlos and some Anthros that were... gone... It was under a furnace in that factory up in the U.R.C. I thought I might try to find you and give it back since all the others were male," said Werlan as he pulled out an old, small book with the name Lucno Serdun Zercardo etched into it on the cover.

"M-My diary?" Asked Lucno as she took it from him, looking through it. "I-I never thought I would see it again! I-It was an ambush. I had my roll near the furnace of that factory. I used to write all ideas in it... I kept writing in different languages just to learn them."

"I know, a lot of them were the same. It helped me learning a few new languages a bit," said Werlan. "And yes, I read it. If I was going to find you, I at least had to know where to start looking."

"Ja... I guess that makes sense... A lot has changed since then."

"It's been four years. I'd assume so," said Werlan as he pulled out a red notebook from his bag. "Here."

"What's zis?" Asked Lucno as she took it.

"To keep it even. I read your's, figured you could at least return the favor," said Werlan as he walked towards the door. "Data, we got a deal to work out."

"Yeah... On it... Damn this guy could lose some weight," said Data as he lifted Quenbeclar over his shoulder. The two walked off of the RV and was greeted by Barr and Geev.

"Welcome back and... Wait... is that...?" Asked Barr, their face turning to shock and curiosity.

"Yep," said Data as he threw Quenbeclar to the ground.

"How much for this one?" Asked Werlan bluntly.

"We... Um... You see... There's an issue. We thought you were just going to blow his head off," said Barr. "Because... Well... All the royalty has robotic inserts in them and that makes them unable to be eaten."
